STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 14, 2016, is made by and among Blucora, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), Monoprice Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings” and, together with the Parent, the “Seller Parties”), and YFC-BonEagle Electric Co., Ltd, a Taiwanese company limited by shares (the “Purchaser”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in ARTICLE 10 below.

WHEREAS, Parent owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Holdings (the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, Holdings owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Monoprice, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), with no par value;

WHEREAS, Holdings and the Company are engaged in the business of distributing cables, components and accessories for computers and consumer electronics directly and indirectly via the world wide web (the “Business”);

WHEREAS, the Parent desires to sell, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, the Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of the Purchaser, the Parent, and Holdings have approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

1.01 Purchase and Sale of Shares.

(a) In reliance upon the representations and warranties contained herein, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing the Purchaser will purchase and acquire from the Parent, and the Parent will sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to the Purchaser, free and clear of all Encumbrances, the Shares for the consideration specified in Section 1.01(b).

(b) The aggregate consideration to be paid to Parent for the Shares shall consist of a payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to (i) $40,000,000, minus (ii) Indebtedness of the Company and of Holdings as of the Closing, minus (iii) Transaction Expenses, plus (iv) the Estimated NWC Excess Amount, minus (v) the Estimated NWC Shortfall Amount (such amount, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the “Purchase Price”).

1787427 1

1.02 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) No later than two Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a statement that sets forth the Company’s estimate of the Company’s and Holdings’ Net Working Capital, Indebtedness, and Transaction Expenses as of the Closing Date, which estimate shall be prepared in good faith and in accordance with GAAP and consistent with the Company’s and Holdings’ historical accounting practices and policies and in accordance with the calculation of Net Working Capital based upon the Latest Balance Sheet as set forth in Exhibit 1.02(a) (“Estimated Net Working Capital”). To the extent the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the Target Net Working Capital, the amount to be paid by the Purchaser to the Parent at the Closing shall be reduced by the absolute value of such amount (the “Estimated NWC Shortfall Amount”). To the extent the Estimated Net Working Capital is more than the Target Net Working Capital, the amount to be paid by the Purchaser to the Parent at the Closing shall be increased by such amount (the “Estimated NWC Excess Amount”).

(b) Within 90 days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Parent a report (the “Post-Closing Report”), which shall set forth the Purchaser’s calculation of Indebtedness (to the extent not paid at Closing), Transaction Expenses (to the extent not paid at Closing), and Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (such amount of Net Working Capital, the “Proposed Net Working Capital”) and which shall (i) be calculated in good faith and in accordance with GAAP, (ii) be calculated consistent with the Company’s historical accounting practices and policies and (iii) be calculated consistent with the calculation of Net Working Capital as set forth in Exhibit 1.02(a). The Parent shall have a period of 45 days after the delivery of the Post-Closing Report (the “NWC Response Period”) to present in writing to the Purchaser notice of any objections the Parent may have to the calculations set forth therein (the “NWC Objections Notice”). If the Parent shall raise any objections within the NWC Response Period, the Purchaser and the Parent shall negotiate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute. If the parties fail to agree within 15 days after the delivery of the NWC Objections Notice, then such dispute will be resolved through the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 1.03 (the “Dispute Resolution Procedures”).

(c) Following delivery of the Post-Closing Report, and until the final resolution of the Net Working Capital, the Purchaser shall (A) provide the Parent and its authorized representatives with reasonable access to the relevant books and records of the Company, the Purchaser’s and their accountants’ work papers, schedules and other supporting data as may reasonably be requested by the Parent; and (B) otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Parent and its authorized representatives, including by providing on a timely basis information reasonably necessary in the determination of the calculations and amounts set forth in the Post-Closing Report.

(d) The amount of Net Working Capital, Indebtedness (to the extent not paid at Closing), and Transaction Expenses (to the extent not paid at Closing) as of the Closing Date shall be finally determined (such finally determined amount of Net Working Capital, the “Final Net Working Capital”) as follows: (i) by written agreement of the Parent and the Purchaser, (ii) by the Accountant pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 1.03, or (iii) to the extent the Parent does not timely object to Purchaser’s determination of such unpaid Indebtedness,

2

such unpaid Transaction Expenses or the Proposed Net Working Capital set forth in the Post-Closing Report within the NWC Response Period, such amount(s) of unpaid Indebtedness, unpaid Transaction Expenses or Proposed Net Working Capital shall be binding on the parties without further adjustment. If there is any amount of unpaid Indebtedness or unpaid Transaction Expenses as of the Closing Date, then the Parent shall pay to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of such unpaid Indebtedness or unpaid Transaction Expenses within three Business Days of the final determination of such amount(s). If the Final Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital (such excess, the “Final NWC Excess Amount”), the Purchaser shall pay to the Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Final NWC Excess Amount within three Business Days of the final determination of the Final Net Working Capital. If the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital (such shortfall, the “Final NWC Shortfall Amount”), the Parent shall pay to the Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the absolute value of the Final NWC Shortfall Amount within three Business Days of the final determination of the Final Net Working Capital.

(e) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.02 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

1.03 Dispute Resolution Procedures. If the Parent and the Purchaser cannot reach agreement within the specified time period set forth in Section 1.02 after the NWC Objections Notice is delivered to the Purchaser, the Parent and the Purchaser shall jointly engage a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm that is not the independent auditor of the Purchaser or the Parent or their respective Affiliates (the “Accountant”), whose determination shall be final and binding on the parties. The Accountant will not vary the terms of this Agreement, but will strictly apply the terms of this Agreement to the dispute. Any determination made by the Accountant shall not be outside the range established by the amounts, or the relative positions taken, by the Purchaser, on the one hand, as set forth in the Post-Closing Report, and by the Parent, on the other hand, as set forth in the NWC Objections Notice. The Accountant shall resolve the dispute within 30 days after the item has been referred to it. The Accountant shall issue a written report which shall include a revised calculation of the Net Working Capital as adjusted pursuant to (i) any resolutions to objections agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Parent and (ii) the Accountant’s resolution of the unresolved objections or disputes. The Accountant shall review only those matters specified in the NWC Objections Notice and shall make no changes to the Post-Closing Report except as is required to resolve the unresolved objections or disputes. The final determination of the Accountant may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 1.03 for resolving disputes with respect to the Net Working Capital shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes. The costs, fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be borne by the Parent, on the one hand, and the Purchaser and/or its designated Affiliates, on the other hand, in proportion to the amounts by which their calculations of Net Working Capital differed from the Accountant’s determination.

1.01 Withholding. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to the Parent such amounts as it is permitted to deduct and withhold pursuant to any provision of Law,

3

including those related to or regarding Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Purchaser under any provision of this Agreement, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by the Purchaser to the applicable Tax Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipients in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Purchaser to the extent such payments are remitted to the applicable Tax Governmental Authority.

33

that such competition by such Restricted Person would result in a significant loss of goodwill by Purchaser. Each Restricted Person further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 6.08 were a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and that Purchaser would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the parties hereto if any of the Restricted Persons breached the provisions of this Section 6.08. Therefore, in further consideration of the amounts to be paid to Parent hereunder for the Shares, each of the Restricted Persons agrees that for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date such party shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, either for itself or through any other Person, engage in or participate in, any enterprise engaging in or participating in, the business of providing services or products similar to those of the Company anywhere in the world. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “participate” includes any direct or indirect interest in any enterprise, whether as a shareholder, partner, joint venturer, franchisor, franchisee or otherwise (other than by ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the stock of a publicly held corporation) or rendering any direct or indirect service or assistance to any Person. Each of the Restricted Persons agrees that this covenant is reasonably designed to protect Purchaser’s substantial investment and is reasonable with respect to its duration, geographical area and scope.

(b)    Each of the Restricted Persons agrees not to disclose or use at any time (and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to use or disclose at any time) any confidential information or trade secrets of the Company or Holdings. Each of the Restricted Persons further agrees to take all appropriate steps (and to cause each of its Affiliates to take all appropriate steps) to safeguard such confidential information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. In the event any Restricted Person is required by Law to disclose any confidential information or trade secrets of the Company or Holdings, such Restricted Person shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing, which notification shall include the nature of the legal requirement and the extent of the required disclosure, and shall cooperate with Purchaser to preserve the confidentiality of such information consistent with applicable Law.

(c)    For so long as a Restricted Person has continuing obligations under Section 6.08(a) above, neither such Restricted Person nor any of its Affiliates shall directly, or indirectly through another Person, (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or Holdings to leave the employ of the Company or Holdings, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company or Holdings and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company or Holdings at any time during the six (6) month period immediately prior to the date on which such hiring would take place (it being conclusively presumed by the parties so as to avoid any disputes under this Section 6.08(c) that any such hiring within such six (6) month period is in violation of clause (i) above) or (iii) call on, solicit or service any customer, supplier, independent contractor or other business relation of the Company or Holdings in order to induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing business with the Company or Holdings, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, independent contractor or business relation and the Company (including making any negative statements or communications about the Company, Holdings, the Purchaser, or the goods or services sold by the Company).

34

(d)    If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in this Section 6.08 (the “Restrictive Covenants”), a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by Law. Each of the Restricted Persons has consulted with legal counsel regarding the Restrictive Covenants and based on such consultation has determined and hereby acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of the Company and Holdings and the substantial investment in the Shares by Purchaser hereunder.

(e)    If any Restricted Person breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive Covenants, Purchaser shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Purchaser at law or in equity: (i) the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to Purchaser and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Purchaser (without any requirement to post bond); and (ii) the right and remedy to require the Restricted Persons to account for and pay over to Purchaser any profits, monies, accruals or increments derived or received by the Restricted Persons as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants. In the event of any breach or violation by any of the Restricted Persons of any of the Restrictive Covenants, the time period of such covenant with respect to such Person shall be tolled until such breach or violation is resolved. The parties acknowledge that the foregoing remedies shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties in connection with any breach of this Section 6.08.

8.04 Survival. If an Indemnified Party wishes to seek indemnification for a claim based on this ARTICLE 8, then, (a) for any claim based upon Section 8.02(a) or 8.03(a) (with the exception

37

of any claim based upon any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty made by the Seller Parties in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04, 3.06, 3.07, 3.10, 3.21, 3.24, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.05 and 4.07 (the “Fundamental Representations”), the Indemnified Party must deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, on or before the date that is 12 months following the Closing Date and, (b) for any claim caused by, arising out of, resulting from or attributable to any Fundamental Representation or to a matter described in Section 8.02(b), 8.02(c), 8.02(d), or 8.03(b), the Indemnified Party must deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, on or before the date that is 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Any claim for indemnification based on this ARTICLE 8 made within the applicable time period specified in this Section 8.04 shall survive until such claim is fully and finally resolved.

8.05 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the following limitations shall apply to indemnification claims under this Agreement:

(a) With respect to Losses caused by, arising out of, resulting from or attributable to the matters described in Sections 8.02(a) and 8.03(a), an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 8.02 until the aggregate amount of Losses that such Indemnified Party (collectively among them) would recover under Section 8.02(a) or 8.03(a), but for this Section 8.05(a), exceeds, on a cumulative basis, 0.5% of the Purchase Price (the “Basket”) and then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party for the full amount of all such Losses, including the amount of the Basket; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing Basket shall not apply to Losses caused by, arising out of, resulting from or attributable to breaches of Fundamental Representations or to Losses caused by, arising out of, resulting from or attributable to the matters described in Sections 8.02(b), 8.02(c), 8.02(d), or 8.03(b).

(b) With respect to Losses caused by, arising out of, resulting from or attributable to the matters described in Sections 8.02(a) and 8.03(a), the aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnified Party (collectively) for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) or 8.03(a) shall not exceed 10% of the Purchase Price; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to Losses caused by, arising out of, resulting from or attributable to breaches of Fundamental Representations or to Losses caused by, arising out of, resulting from or attributable to the matters described in Sections 8.02(b), 8.02(c), 8.02(d), or 8.03(b), with respect to which liability to an Indemnified Party for indemnification shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(c) An Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Indemnified Party for Losses under Section 8.02 or 8.03 shall be limited to the Indemnified Party’s Losses. In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or damages based on any type of multiple; provided that all damages payable to a third party by an Indemnified Party shall constitute direct Losses notwithstanding the characterization of such damages vis-à-vis the third party and shall not be excluded notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section.

38

(d) Any calculation of Losses hereunder shall be net of any insurance proceeds or third-party payments realized by any Indemnified Party. Each of the Parent and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall cause the Purchaser Indemnitees or Parent Indemnitees, as applicable, to use commercially reasonable efforts to, seek full recovery under all insurance policies and third-party payments covering any Loss to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder. In the event that an insurance recovery is made by any Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which any such Indemnified Party has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery, less collection costs and only to the extent of indemnification actually received, shall be made promptly to the Parent or the Purchaser, as applicable.

(e) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any Losses relating to any matter arising under a provision of this Agreement to the extent that the Indemnified Party has already recovered the full amount of such Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to another provision of this Agreement.

(f) Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses after becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith.

8.06 Notice and Determination of Claims. If any Indemnified Party believes that it has sustained or incurred any Losses for which it may be entitled to indemnification, such Indemnified Party shall so notify the indemnifying party promptly in writing (the “Claim Notice”) specifying the basis hereunder upon which the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification is asserted and the amount of Losses being claimed. After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which a person shall be entitled under this ARTICLE 8 shall be: (a) if the Indemnifying Party does not respond (in writing to the Indemnified Party) to such Claim Notice within 15 Business Days of receipt of such Claim Notice, the full amount claimed by the Indemnified Party in the Claim Notice; or (b) if the Indemnifying Party does respond (in writing to the Indemnified Party) to such Claim Notice within 15 Business Days of receipt of such Claim Notice, (i) by the written agreement between the parties; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the parties shall agree in writing. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this ARTICLE 8 will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party entitled to receive such notice was damaged or prejudiced as a result of such failure to give timely notice vis-à-vis its rights and obligations hereunder.

8.07 Third Party Claims.

(a) Promptly following the receipt of notice of an action, claim, examination, investigation, enforcement referral or audit by a third party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by a Governmental Authority) with respect to any matters involving a monetary or other obligation,

39

in each case, which may, if true, constitute or result in Losses for which an Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party receiving the notice of the Third Party Claim shall notify the indemnifying party of its existence setting forth with reasonable specificity the facts and circumstances of which such Indemnified Party has received notice, the amount of Losses being claimed, to the extent known, and specifying the basis hereunder upon which the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification is asserted (a “Third Party Claim Notice”). A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or accurate notice of a Third Party Claim will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party entitled to receive such notice was materially damaged or prejudiced as a result of such failure to give timely notice vis-à-vis its rights and obligations hereunder.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct and control at its own expense, through counsel of its choosing, the defense of any Third Party Claim as to which indemnification is sought by any Indemnified Party from any Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing, as promptly as possible, but in any event within 10 Business Days after receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party under Section 8.07(a) of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party has the right, but not the obligation to participate, through separate counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof.

(c) With respect to any Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party written notice of the Indemnifying Party’s intention to settle any Third Party Claim at least ten days prior to the settlement of any such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless (i) the Indemnified Party is given a full and complete release of any and all Liability by all relevant parties to such claim or demand in respect of such Third Party Claim; (ii) the damages payable under the settlement are limited to monetary payments for which the Indemnified Party is fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party and (iii) the settlement does not require any non-monetary relief. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.07 to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim at any time without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, provided that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 8.07(b) to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall lose its right to contest, defend and litigate the Third Party Claim if it shall fail to accept a tender of the defense of the Third Party Claim in the manner set forth herein or if it shall fail to diligently manage the Third Party Claim in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party based upon the advice of outside counsel. In any such event described in this Section 8.07(d), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Party Claim.

40

8.08 Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, or in the case of a party’s fraud, intentional misconduct, or intentional misrepresentation, from and after the Closing, the remedies provided in this ARTICLE 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties in connection with any breach of representations or warranties or non-performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent any party from seeking specific performance or injunctive relief to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 10.16 with respect to any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.
