STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Stock Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 1, 2019, by and among Vishay Precision Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”), DSI Holdings DE Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Persons listed on Schedule 1.01 (each individually a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), and HCI Equity Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, not individually but solely in its capacity as the representative of the Sellers (the “Representative”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 8.01 of this Agreement. Buyer, the Company and the Sellers are referred to collectively herein as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

Sellers in the aggregate own all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of the Company. Each Seller desires to sell to Buyer the number of shares of Company Stock (as hereinafter defined) indicated opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule 1.01, which, in the aggregate, are all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of the Company, and Buyer desires to purchase from Sellers all (but not less than all) of the Company Stock, upon the terms set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, intending to be legally bound, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I THE TRANSACTION

1.01    Basic Transaction. In accordance with the terms and upon the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, each Seller shall sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Buyer all right, title and interest in and to all of such Seller’s shares of Company Stock, free and clear of all Liens and Restrictions.

1.02    Consideration. The purchase price for the Company Stock shall be an amount equal to the Base Purchase Price, subject to adjustment as provided in this ARTICLE I. The Base Purchase Price, the Estimated Cash Payment, the Cash Payment and any other amount to be received by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement will be allocated by the Representative among the Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage, as set forth on Schedule 1.01.

1.03    Estimated Cash Payment. Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company delivered to Buyer its good faith estimate of the Cash Amount, the Funded Debt, the Transaction Expenses Amount, the Working Capital Surplus, if any, the Working Capital Deficit, if any, and, based on such estimates, an estimate of the Cash Payment (the “Estimated Cash Payment”).

1.04    Payments.

(a)    Closing Payments. At the Closing, Buyer shall:

(i)    pay the amount of all Funded Debt, if any, pursuant to the directions in the payoff letters delivered by the Company to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.03(h);

(ii)    pay the Transaction Expenses Amount pursuant to the directions in the invoices delivered by the Company or the Sellers to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.03(i); provided, however, that Buyer shall pay the aggregate amount of any Transaction Expenses of the type referred to in clause (b) of the definition thereof to the Company, and the Company shall, not later than two (2) Business Days following the Closing Date, make the applicable payment to the applicable recipient (subject to applicable withholding Tax) as promptly as practicable thereafter through the Company’s payroll;

(iii)    pay the Escrow Amount to the escrow account established pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement;

(iv)    pay the Holdback Amount to the Representative;

(v)    pay the L/C Amount to U.S. Bank to the account specified on Schedule 8.02; and

(vi)    pay to each Seller, an amount equal to (A) such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage multiplied by the Estimated Cash Payment, minus (B) such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage multiplied by the Escrow Amount.

(b)    Cash Payment Adjustment. Within five (5) Business Days after the Cash Payment becomes final and binding in accordance with Section 1.05:

(i)    if the Cash Payment exceeds the Estimated Cash Payment, then such excess shall be paid in cash by Buyer to each Seller in accordance with each such Seller’s respective Pro Rata Percentage, and Buyer and the Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the amount in the Adjustment Escrow Fund to each Seller in accordance with each such Seller’s respective Pro Rata Percentage; or

(ii)    if the Estimated Cash Payment exceeds the Cash Payment, then Buyer and the Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the amount of such excess from the Adjustment Escrow Fund to Buyer, and (x) if such excess is less than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, Buyer and the Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to the Sellers (in accordance with each such Seller’s respective Pro Rata Percentage) the remaining amounts held in the Adjustment Escrow Fund, or (y) if such excess is greater than

-2-

the Adjustment Escrow Amount, the Representative shall be obligated to pay to Buyer, and pay to Buyer, the difference between such excess and the Adjustment Escrow Amount.

(c)    Payments. All payments to the Sellers or the Representative pursuant to this Section 1.04 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Representative in writing. All payments to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.04(b)(ii) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer in writing.

1.05    Cash Payment Determination. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Representative (a) a statement setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of (i) the Working Capital and the Working Capital Surplus or Working Capital Deficit, if any, (ii) the Cash Amount, (iii) the amount of Funded Debt, (iv) the Transaction Expense Amount, and (v) based on the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (iv), the Cash Payment (the “Closing Statement”) and (b) all records and work papers reasonably necessary to compute and verify the information set forth in the Closing Statement. The Closing Statement shall be prepared by Buyer in accordance with the Accounting Methodologies. After delivery of the Closing Statement, the Representative and its accountants shall be permitted to make reasonable inquiries of Buyer and its accountants regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Closing Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, employees, consultants, accountants and agents to (x) reasonably cooperate with the Representative and its accountants in connection with its review of the Closing Statement and the preparation of the Objection Statement and (y) provide any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Representative and its accountants in connection therewith or in connection with resolving any Objection Dispute. If Buyer does not deliver the Closing Statement to the Representative on or prior to the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date, then the estimated amounts as delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 1.03 shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties, and the Estimated Cash Payment shall be deemed to be the Cash Payment. If the Representative has any objections to the Closing Statement, then the Representative shall deliver to Buyer a statement (an “Objection Statement”) setting forth its disputes or objections (the “Objection Disputes”) to the Closing Statement and, to the extent practical, the Representative’s proposed resolution of each such Objection Dispute. If an Objection Statement is not delivered to Buyer within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, then the Closing Statement as originally delivered by Buyer shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties. If an Objection Statement is timely delivered, then Buyer and the Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Objection Disputes, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objection Statement, the Representative and Buyer shall submit each unresolved Objection Dispute to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP (the “Independent Auditor”) to resolve such Objection Disputes. The Independent Auditor shall be instructed to set forth a procedure to provide for prompt resolution of any unresolved Objection Disputes and, in any event, to make its determination in respect of such Objection Disputes within thirty (30) days following its retention. The Independent Auditor shall be instructed to review only

-3-

those amounts and items that are in dispute and shall not be permitted to review any items or amounts that are not in dispute. The Independent Auditor shall make its determination based solely on written documents submitted by the Representative and Buyer and their respective representatives. The Independent Auditor’s determination of such Objection Disputes shall be deemed to be an arbitration award and be final and binding upon the Parties and non-appealable; provided, however, that no such determination with respect to any item reflected in the Objection Statement shall be any more favorable to Buyer than is set forth in the Closing Statement or any more favorable to the Representative than is proposed in the Objection Statement. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be borne by the Representative, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based on the inverse of the percentage of the amounts that the Independent Auditor determines in such Party’s favor bears to the aggregate amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to Independent Auditor. For example, should the aggregate items in dispute total $1,000 and the Independent Auditor awards $600 in favor of the Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by the Representative. The final Closing Statement, however determined pursuant to this Section 1.05, will produce the Working Capital Surplus or Working Capital Deficit, if any, the Cash Amount, the Funded Debt and the Transaction Expenses Amount, in each case to be used to determine the final Cash Payment. The process set forth in this Section 1.05 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties for any disputes related to items required to be reflected on the Closing Statement or included in the calculation of Working Capital, the Working Capital Surplus or Working Capital Deficit, if any, the Cash Amount, the amount of Funded Debt or the Transaction Expenses Amount.

1.06    Earn Out.

(a)    As additional consideration for the Company Stock, if the consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 (the “Calculated EBITDA”) is greater than $4,300,000, then Sellers, collectively, shall be entitled to receive an additional cash payment in the amount of: (i) $3,000,000, multiplied by (ii) the EBITDA Multiplier (the result of such calculation, the “Earn Out Payment”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall the Earn Out Payment exceed $3,000,000.

(b)    On or before May 1, 2020, Buyer shall deliver to the Representative a statement (the “Calculation Report”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Calculated EBITDA (the calculations set forth in the Calculation Report, the “Earn Out Calculation”). The Earn Out Calculation shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, employees, consultants, accountants and agents to (x) reasonably cooperate with the Representative and its accountants in connection with its review of the Calculation Report and the preparation of the Dispute Notice and (y) provide any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Representative and its accountants in connection therewith or in connection with resolving any Dispute Notice.

-4-

(c)    If the Representative notifies Buyer of a dispute in writing (a “Dispute Notice”) within twenty (20) Business Days of delivery of the Calculation Report with respect to the Earn Out Calculation, the Representative and Buyer shall meet promptly following the issuance of a written notice of dispute and attempt to resolve the dispute. If a Dispute Notice is not delivered to Buyer within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the Calculation Report, then the Calculation Report as originally delivered by Buyer shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties. If the Representative and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days after receipt by Buyer of a Dispute Notice, the Representative and Buyer shall submit the dispute for resolution to the Independent Auditor, which shall be instructed to set forth a procedure to provide for prompt resolution of the matter and, in any event, to make its determination in respect of such dispute within thirty (30) days following its retention. The Independent Auditor’s determination of such dispute shall be deemed to be an arbitration award and be final and binding upon the Parties and non-appealable; provided, however, that no such determination with respect to any item reflected in the Dispute Notice shall be any more favorable to Buyer than is set forth in the Calculation Report or any more favorable to the Representative than is proposed in the Dispute Notice. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be borne by the Representative, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based on the inverse of the percentage of the amounts that the Independent Auditor determines in such Party’s favor bears to the aggregate amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to Independent Auditor.

(d)    Within ten (10) Business Days following the final determination of the Earn Out Payment in accordance with this Section 1.06, if an amount is owed to the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.06(a), then Buyer shall pay to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Buyer and each Seller hereby agree that any Earn Out Payment earned hereunder shall be deemed to be part of the “Cash Payment” paid by Buyer in respect of the Company Stock.

(e)    From the date hereof until March 31, 2020, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall (and Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to) (i) conduct their businesses in a commercially reasonable manner and (ii) not intentionally do or omit to do anything, the primary intention of which is to hinder or prevent the Company from achieving the maximum potential Earn Out Payment. In addition, Calculated EBITDA for purposes of determining the Earn Out Payment shall be adjusted equitably (x) to account for any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring expenses or overhead incurred outside of the Ordinary Course of Business and (y) to the extent the Company and Subsidiaries do not conduct their businesses in the Ordinary Course of Business materially consistent with the manner in which such businesses were conducted as of the Closing Date.

(f)    Buyer, each Seller and the Representative acknowledge and agree that: (i) achievement of the Earn Out Payment is subject to numerous factors outside the control of Buyer and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries); (ii) there is no assurance that any Seller will receive any Earn Out Payment; and (iii) the Parties solely intend

-5-

the express provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 1.06, to govern their contractual relationship on this subject.

1.07    Withholding. Buyer or any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amount paid to a Seller or the Representative pursuant to this Agreement the amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any provision of Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment; provided that Buyer shall notify the Representative in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to any such withholding of its intention to withhold any amount hereunder and if the Representative or the affected Seller is able to demonstrate to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction (with appropriate documentation) at least one (1) full Business Day in advance of the applicable payment date that no such withholding is required or the amount of such withholding can be reduced, Buyer shall eliminate or reduce, to the extent so demonstrated to Buyer, such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate taxing or other Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

7.05    Determination of Losses.

(a)    The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE VII shall be calculated net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party on account of such Loss (net of increased premiums or other recovery-related costs, expenses, fees or charges).

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement all “material”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar materiality type qualifications in the representations and warranties shall be ignored and not given any effect for purposes of determining, (i) except in the first sentence of Section 4.07(b) and Section 4.08(b), whether there is any breach of or inaccuracy

-43-

in any representation or warranty, and (ii) the amount of any Loss which may be claimed pursuant to this ARTICLE VII in connection with any such misrepresentation or breach.

7.07    Exclusive Remedy. Buyer and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that, except with respect to Fraud or in the event that any Party seeks specific performance (including seeking specific performance under the Restrictive Covenant Agreements), the indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and the Sellers with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 7.07 shall prevent or prohibit a Party from seeking and/or obtaining specific performance in accordance with Section 9.10. In addition, Buyer agrees that the only source of recovery and recourse for any claims that Buyer and its Affiliates may have related to or arising from breaches of or inaccuracies in any representations and warranties made in this Agreement (including indemnification claims under Section 7.02(a)(i) or Section 7.02(b)(i)) shall be from the recovery of amounts under the Escrow Agreement, subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and the R&W Insurance Policy, except with respect to (a) the breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Fundamental Representations made by the Company or the Sellers and (b) Fraud of one or more of the Sellers or the Company.

7.08    Other Indemnification Matters.

(a)    All indemnification payments under this ARTICLE VII will be deemed adjustments to the Cash Payment.

(b)    Buyer agrees that, if it or any other Buyer Indemnitee has indemnification claims for Losses under Section 7.02(a)(i) or Section 7.02(b)(i), Buyer or such other Buyer Indemnitee shall seek recovery with respect to such claims as follows:

(i)    first, (x) except for claims for Losses related to a breach of or inaccuracy in the Fundamental Representations or Fraud, if any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund is remaining, then Buyer Indemnitee shall pursue recovery from the remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, or (y) for claims for Losses related to a breach of or inaccuracy in the Fundamental Representations or Fraud, if any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund is remaining, then Buyer Indemnitee may pursue recovery from the remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund; and

-44-

(ii)    second, if no portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund is remaining, or for any claims for Losses related to a breach of or inaccuracy in the Fundamental Representations, then Buyer Indemnitee shall pursue recovery by making and pursuing a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy (provided, however, that, (x) solely with respect to claims for Losses related to a breach of or inaccuracy in the Fundamental Representations, if any amount of the retention under the R&W Insurance Policy has not been met, Sellers will be responsible for the amount of Losses up to the remaining amount of such retention, and (y) this Section 7.08(b)(ii) shall not prevent Buyer from pursuing recovery from the R&W Insurance Policy with respect to Fraud); and

(iii)    third, if (x) the claim is for breach of a Fundamental Representation and (y) Buyer has made a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy and the insurer providing coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy has notified Buyer in writing (after reasonable pursuit by Buyer of such claim under the R&W Insurance Policy) of its final determination that the claim will not be paid in full (whether because such claim is excluded from coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy, the R&W Insurance Policy limit has been exceeded or otherwise), then Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to pursue recovery of any remaining Losses directly from the Sellers; provided, however, that this Section 7.08(b)(iii) shall not prevent Buyer from pursing recovery from any Seller or the Representative, as applicable, with respect to Fraud;

subject, in each case, to the provisions and limitations set forth in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.08 shall in no way limit Buyer’s or any other Person’s right to recover or seek recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy.

No extension of time for performance of any obligations or other acts hereunder or under any other agreement shall be deemed to be an extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or any other acts.

9.05    Binding Effect; Assignment. The rights and obligations of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or implied herein or therein shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable rights hereunder. Except as expressly provided herein, the rights and obligations of this Agreement may not be assigned by the Parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided that Buyer (and, following the Closing, the Company) shall ‎be permitted, without the consent of

-58-

the Representative or Sellers, to (a) assign their respective rights and obligations under ‎this Agreement and any of the provisions hereof to (i) an Affiliate of Buyer or the Company, as ‎applicable or (ii) any purchaser of all or substantially all of the equity or assets of Buyer or the Company (or other purchase of all or any portion of Buyer, the Company or their respective ‎businesses, by operation of Law or otherwise) or (b) assign, collaterally assign or otherwise grant a ‎security interest in their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement (in whole but not in part) to any ‎parties providing debt financing for purposes of creating a security ‎interest herein or otherwise assign as collateral in respect of such debt financing. No assignment permitted by this Section 9.05 shall relieve any assignor of its obligations hereunder.

9.06    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by means of facsimile and electronically transmitted portable document format (pdf) signature pages), each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9.07    Interpretation; Schedules. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an article, section, paragraph, clause, schedule or exhibit, such reference shall be deemed to be to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The headings contained herein and on the Schedules are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or the Schedules. Any item or matter required to be disclosed on a particular Schedule pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed if information for such item or matter complying with such disclosure requirements is set forth on another Schedule under this Agreement and the applicability of such disclosure to such other Schedule is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. The information contained in the Schedules hereto is disclosed solely for the purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any third party of any matter whatsoever, including of any violation of Law or breach of any agreement.

9.08    Governing Law; Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed for all purposes by the internal substantive Laws of Delaware, without reference to the choice of law or conflicts of Law principles thereof, applicable to contracts executed and to be wholly performed within Delaware.

9.09    Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a)    Any Proceeding against Buyer, the Company, the Sellers or the Representative or arising out of, or with respect to, this Agreement or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, in the event (but only in the event) that such Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over any such matter, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, in the event that such United States District Court for the District of Delaware also does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such matter, any Delaware State Court sitting in New Castle County,

-59-

Delaware (the “Designated Courts”), and the Parties hereto accepts and agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Designated Courts for the purpose of any Proceeding.

(b)    In addition, each Party hereto hereby irrevocably (i) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any judgment entered by any of the Designated Courts, (ii) waives any claim that any Proceeding brought in the Designated Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (iii) agrees not to commence any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby other than in the Designated Courts, and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit or judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

9.10    Specific Performance. Each of the Parties agrees that this Agreement is intended to be legally binding and specifically enforceable pursuant to its terms and that Buyer, the Company and the Sellers would be irreparably harmed if any of the provisions of the Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that monetary damages would not provide adequate remedy in such event. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy to which a non-breaching Party may be entitled at Law, a non-breaching Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief without the posting of any bond to enforce its rights under or prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof.

9.11    Arm’s Length Negotiations; Drafting. Each Party herein expressly represents and warrants to the other Parties that before executing this Agreement, said Party has fully informed itself of the terms, contents, conditions and effects of this Agreement; said Party has had the opportunity to seek and has obtained the advice of counsel before executing this Agreement, which is the result of arm’s length negotiations conducted by and among the Parties and their respective counsel. This Agreement shall be deemed drafted jointly by the Parties and nothing shall be construed against one Party or another as the drafting Party.

9.12    Confidentiality; Publicity.

(a)    The non-disclosure letter agreement, dated June 19, 2019, by and between “Project Alloy” and Buyer is hereby terminated in its entirety.

(b)    Except as may be required by Law (including the rules and regulations of any stock exchange), or as otherwise permitted or expressly contemplated herein, no Party or its respective Affiliates, employees, agents and representatives shall disclose to any third Person the existence of this Agreement or the subject matter or terms hereof without the prior consent of the other Party hereto; provided, however, that the Company and its Affiliates shall be permitted to disclose such information (x) to its attorneys, advisors, representatives, members or investors and (y) in connection with enforcing its rights under any this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement. No press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein shall be issued or made by any Party without

-60-

the approval of the other Party, unless required by Law (including the rules and regulations of any stock exchange), in which case the other Party shall have the right to review such press release, announcement or communication prior to its issuance, distribution or publication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the ability of HCI Equity Partners III, L.P., GMB Mezzanine Capital II, L.P. or any of their respective Affiliates from providing (i) the financial results achieved by HCI Equity Partners III, L.P., GMB Mezzanine Capital II, L.P. and their respective Affiliates with respect to their beneficial interest in the Company and its Subsidiaries or (ii) a general description of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including their financial performance), and HCI Equity Partners III, L.P., GMB Mezzanine Capital II, L.P. and their respective Affiliates’ investment and role therein, to the current or prospective limited partners or other business affiliates of HCI Equity Partners III, L.P., GMB Mezzanine Capital II, L.P. or such Affiliates and their advisors in the ordinary course of communications.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, including anything in Section 9.12(b), no Seller shall, and each Seller shall cause its respective Affiliates, employees, agents and representatives not to, disclose to any third Person the existence of this Agreement or the subject matter or terms hereof prior to 5:30pm Eastern on November 4, 2019.

9.13    Severability. The invalidity of any portion hereof shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining portions hereof. If it is ever held that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

9.14    Designation of the Representative.

(a)    Designation. HCI Equity Partners III, L.P. (the “Representative”) is hereby designated by the Sellers and the Company to serve as the representative of the Sellers with respect to the matters expressly set forth in this Agreement to be performed by the Representative.

(b)    Authority. Each of the Sellers (on their behalf and on behalf of their successors, assigns and heirs) hereby irrevocably appoints the Representative as the agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for such Person for all purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreement entered into in connection herewith (including the full power and authority on such Person’s behalf) (i) to execute the Escrow Agreement and otherwise to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and therein, (ii) to pay such Person’s expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreement entered into in connection herewith (whether incurred on or after the date hereof), (iii) to disburse any funds received hereunder to each other Seller, (iv) to endorse and deliver any certificates or instruments representing the shares of Company Stock and execute such further agreements or instruments of assignment as Buyer shall reasonably request or which the Representative shall consider necessary or proper to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, all of which shall have the effect of binding the Sellers as if such Seller had personally executed such agreement or instrument, (v) to resolve any adjustments or issues relating to any

-61-

component of the Cash Payment, (vi) to receive notices and other deliverables hereunder on behalf of such Person, (vii) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Person any amendment or waiver hereto or to any other agreement contemplated hereunder, (viii) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Person in connection herewith including under the Escrow Agreement, (ix) to dispute, compromise, settle and pay any claims made in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder, (x) to retain legal and other professional advisors on behalf of, and at the expense of the Sellers in connection with its actions hereunder, (xi) to dispense funds from the Escrow Amount (or direct the Escrow Agent to do so) to the Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to retain from such funds an amount sufficient to satisfy the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Representative in fulfilling its obligations hereunder, (xii) to make any calculations required under this Agreement (including calculations with respect to the distribution of the Cash Payment), and (xiii) to authorize distribution of the Holdback Amount, and (xiv) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which such Person or the Sellers collectively are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement. Each of the Sellers agrees that such agency, proxy and attorney-in-fact and all authority granted hereunder are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Person. If, after the execution of this Agreement, any Seller dies, dissolves or liquidates or becomes incapacitated or incompetent, then the Representative is nevertheless authorized, empowered and directed to act in accordance with this Agreement as if that death, dissolution, liquidation, incapacity or incompetency had not occurred and regardless of notice thereof. All decisions and actions by the Representative (to the extent authorized by this Agreement) shall be binding upon all of the Sellers, and no Seller shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(c)    Holdback Amount. Each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Holdback Amount shall be withheld and paid directly to an account maintained by the Representative (or a financial institution selected by the Representative) as a fund for the fees and expenses (including any legal fees and expenses) of the Representative incurred in connection with this Agreement, with any balance of the Holdback Amount not utilized for such purposes to be returned to the Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage; provided, however, that in no event shall any portion of the Holdback Amount be returned to the Sellers prior to the final determination of the Cash Payment pursuant to Section 1.05 and the full payment of the amount owed by the Representative to Buyer, if any, pursuant to Section 1.04. In the event that the Holdback Amount shall be insufficient to satisfy the fees and expenses of the Representative or any amounts owed by the Representative to Buyer hereunder (including pursuant to Sections 1.04 or 5.04), and in the event there are any remaining funds in the Escrow Amount to be distributed to the Sellers immediately prior to the final distribution from the Escrow Amount to the Sellers pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Representative shall be entitled to recover any such expenses from the Escrow Amount to the extent of such funds prior to the distribution of funds to the Sellers; provided, that in no event shall the Representative be entitled to recover such expenses from the Escrow Fund prior to the distribution of the then-remaining Escrow Funds, if any, to the Representative or the Sellers, as applicable, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The Representative shall be entitled to

-62-

recover any remaining expenses or amounts directly from the Sellers (based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage).

(d)    Authority; Indemnification. Each Seller agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to rely on any action taken by the Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, pursuant to Section 9.14(b) (each, an “Authorized Action”), and that each Authorized Action shall be binding on each Seller as fully as if such Person had taken such Authorized Action. Each Seller hereby severally, for itself only and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Representative against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Representative in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the Representative is made a party by reason of the fact it is or was acting as the Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(e)    Duties of the Representative. The Representative hereby accepts its obligations under this Agreement. The Representative shall act in good faith and shall make its decisions and take its actions or inactions based on its determination of what is in the best interest of all Sellers (including the Representative) as a group, and not to the advantage or disadvantage of any one or several Sellers. Subject to the Representative’s right to pay expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement or otherwise to satisfy the reasonable expenses and obligations of the Sellers, the Representative shall promptly disburse to each Seller such Person’s share of any Cash Payment received by the Representative in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Representative shall have only the duties expressly stated in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and shall have no other duty, express or implied. The Representative is not, by virtue of serving as Representative, a fiduciary of the Sellers or any other Person. The Representative, in its capacity as such, has no personal responsibility or liability for any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company.

(f)    Exculpation. The Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Seller. The Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any action taken or omitted by it or any agent employed by it hereunder or under any other document entered into in connection herewith, except that the Representative shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by Law for fraud or bad faith. The Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by the Representative in good faith, and, if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Person to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from other Sellers any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. The Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. Neither the Representative nor any agent employed by it shall incur any liability to any Seller by virtue of the failure or refusal of the Representative for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the performance of its other duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions constituting fraud or bad faith.

-63-

(g)    No Fees to or Compensation of the Representative. The Representative shall not be entitled to and shall not charge or collect from the Sellers or any other Person any fees or other compensation for its services as the Representative under this Agreement. The Representative, however, shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Sellers (based on their Pro Rata Percentage of such expenses) for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its services as the Representative under this Agreement.

(h)    Replacement of the Representative. If the Representative resigns or is otherwise unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, then the Sellers that held a majority of the Company Stock outstanding on the date hereof will appoint a new Person to serve as the Representative and will provide prompt written notice thereof to Buyer. Until such notice is received, Buyer will be entitled to rely on the actions and statements of the previous Representative.
