Section 3.3Adjustment to Merger Consideration

(a)Closing Adjustment. At least five (5) days before the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement duly certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the Closing Merger Consideration, which shall reflect its good faith estimates and reasonably detailed calculations of (i) the Estimated Cash, (ii) the Estimated Transaction Expenses, (iii) the Estimated Indebtedness and (iv) the Estimated Net Working Capital. The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared based upon the books and records of the Company in accordance with the definitions as provided in this Agreement and the Accounting Methodology. If, within three (3) days following delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, Parent delivers to the Company written notice of any objection to the Estimated Closing Statement based on Parent’s good faith determination of any mathematical or methodological errors or any failure of the Closing Merger Consideration, Estimated Cash, Estimated Transaction Expenses, Estimated Indebtedness, or Estimated Net Working Capital to be calculated in accordance with the definitions as provided in this Agreement and the Accounting Methodology, then Parent and the Company will act in good faith to resolve between themselves any objections raised by Parent therein. If Parent does not deliver any notice of objection under this Section 3.3(a) or Parent and the Company are unable to resolve Parent’s objections within two (2) days after the Company’s receipt of Parent’s notice of objection under this Section 3.3(a), then the Estimated Closing Statement delivered by the Company shall be binding on the parties for purposes of determining the Closing Merger Consideration.

(b)Post-Closing Adjustment. As promptly as reasonably practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Shareholders’ Representative a statement duly certified by Parent (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith determinations and reasonably detailed calculations of (i) the Cash and Cash Equivalents as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) the Transaction Expenses as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iii) the Indebtedness as of

immediately prior the Effective Time and (iv) the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c)Dispute Resolution Procedures.

(i)If the Shareholders’ Representative disagrees with Parent’s calculation of the Cash and Cash Equivalents, Transaction Expenses, Indebtedness or Net Working Capital, in each case as reflected on the Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(b), the Shareholders’ Representative may, within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, deliver a notice to Parent providing reasonable detail of the reasons for such disagreement and setting forth the calculation of the items and amounts in dispute. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify all items or amounts as to which the Shareholders’ Representative disagrees, and the Shareholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts, and the calculations thereof, set forth in the Closing Statement.

(ii)If a notice of disagreement is delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(c)(i), the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, negotiate in good faith to reach written agreement on the disputed items or amounts. The matters set forth in any written resolution executed by the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent shall be final and binding on the parties on the date of such written resolution.

(iii)If the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent are unable to reach such agreement during such thirty (30) day period, the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent shall promptly (and, in any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter) submit any matters in dispute to the Independent Accountant for resolution, who shall act as an accounting expert and not as an arbitrator. The Independent Accountant shall deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of engagement of the Independent Accountant), a written report as to the resolution of each disputed item, accompanied by a certificate of the Independent Accountant that it reached such determination in accordance with the definitions as provided in this Agreement and the Accounting Methodology. Such report shall be final and binding on the parties and shall not be subject to further review or appeal (absent manifest arithmetical error). The Independent Accountant shall consider only those items and amounts in the Shareholders’ Representative’s and Parent’s respective calculations of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Transaction Expenses, Indebtedness or Net Working Capital, that were disputed within Shareholders’ Representative’s notice of disagreement and that the parties identify as being items and amounts to which the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent have still been unable to agree. The Independent Accountant’s determination of any disputed item shall be (A) based solely on (1) written materials submitted by the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent (or by in-person telephonic conferences if mutually agreed by Parent, the Shareholders’ Representative and the Independent Accountant) and not by independent review, and (2) the Accounting Methodology and on the definitions included herein and (B) limited to a determination as to whether it agrees with Parent’s calculation(s) of the amount(s) of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Transaction Expenses, Indebtedness or Net

Working Capital, as applicable, or with the Shareholders’ Representative’s calculation(s) of the amount(s) of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Transaction Expenses, Indebtedness or Net Working Capital, as applicable. Until the calculations have been finally determined pursuant hereto, neither Parent nor the Shareholders’ Representative shall, without the prior consent of the Shareholders’ Representative (in the case of Parent) or Parent (in the case of the Shareholders’ Representative), have any ex parte conversations or meetings with the Independent Accountant. Each party agrees to execute a reasonable engagement letter, if such letter is required by the Independent Accountant. The costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the Shareholders’ Representative, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the aggregate contested amount(s) not awarded to each party bears to the aggregate amount(s) actually contested by such party. Any costs, expenses or fees to be borne by the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 3.3(c)(iii) shall constitute Shareholders’ Representative Costs and shall be paid, first, out of the Representative Expense Amount and, second, by the Shareholders in accordance with each Shareholder’s respective Pro Rata Share.

(iv)The Closing Statement (and each of the components thereof) shall become final and binding on the parties (A) on the forty-sixth (46^th) day following the delivery of the Closing Statement if a notice of disagreement has not been delivered to Parent by the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 3.3(c)(i), (B) with such changes as are necessary to reflect matters resolved pursuant to any written resolution executed pursuant to Section 3.3(c)(ii), on the date such resolution is executed, if all outstanding matters are resolved through such resolution and/or (C) with such changes as are necessary to reflect the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the matters in dispute (together with any changes necessary to reflect matters previously resolved pursuant to any written resolution executed pursuant to Section 3.3(c)(ii) and any matters not disputed pursuant to a notice of disagreement), on the date the Independent Accountant delivers its final, binding resolution pursuant to Section 3.3(c)(iii). The Cash and Cash Equivalents, the Transaction Expenses, the Indebtedness and the Net Working Capital, in each case as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.3, are referred to herein as the “Actual Cash,” the “Actual Transaction Expenses,” the “Actual Indebtedness,” and the “Actual Net Working Capital,” respectively, and the last date upon which any such final determination is made pursuant to this Section 3.3 is referred to as the “Final Determination Date”.

(d)Payment to Shareholders.

(i)For purposes of this Section 3.3, “Upward Adjustment Amount” means the sum of (A) the amount, if any, by which the Actual Cash exceeds the Estimated Cash, plus (B) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Transaction Expenses exceeds the Actual Transaction Expenses, plus (C) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Indebtedness exceeds the Actual Indebtedness plus (D) (1) if the Estimated Net Working Capital was greater than the Net Working Capital Target Top Collar Amount, and the Actual Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, the amount by which the Actual Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, (2) if the Estimated Net Working Capital was within the

Net Working Capital Target Range and the Actual Net Working Capital is greater than the Net Working Capital Target Top Collar Amount, the amount by which the Actual Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Target Top Collar Amount, (3) if the Estimated Net Working Capital was less than the Net Working Capital Target Bottom Collar Amount and the Actual Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital but within the Net Working Capital Target Range, the amount by which the Net Working Capital Target Bottom Collar Amount exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, or (4) if the Estimated Net Working Capital was less than the Net Working Capital Target Bottom Collar Amount and the Actual Net Working Capital is greater than the Net Working Capital Target Top Collar Amount, the sum of (x) the amount by which the Actual Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Target Top Collar Amount and (y) the amount by which the Net Working Capital Target Bottom Collar Amount exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, in each case as applicable.

(ii)If the Upward Adjustment Amount exceeds the Downward Adjustment Amount, then Parent shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Final Determination Date, pay to the Shareholders’ Representative, for the benefit of the Shareholders (in accordance with each Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Shareholders’ Representative, an amount equal to the excess of the Upward Adjustment Amount over the Downward Adjustment Amount.

(e)Payment to Parent.

(i)For purposes of this Section 3.3, “Downward Adjustment Amount” means the sum of (A) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Cash exceeds the Actual Cash, plus (B) the amount, if any, by which the Actual Transaction Expenses exceeds the Estimated Transaction Expenses, plus (C) the amount, if any, by which the Actual Indebtedness exceeds the Estimated Indebtedness plus (D) (1) if the Estimated Net Working Capital was within the Net Working Capital Target Range and the Actual Net Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Target Bottom Collar Amount, the amount by which the Net Working Capital Target Bottom Collar Amount exceeds the Actual Net Working Capital, (2) if the Estimated Net Working Capital was greater than the Net Working Capital Target Top Collar Amount and the Actual Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital but within the Net Working Capital Target Range, the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Target Top Collar Amount, (3) if the Estimated Net Working Capital was less than the Net Working Capital Target Bottom Collar Amount and the Actual Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Actual Net Working Capital, and (4) if the Estimated Net Working Capital was greater than the Net Working Capital Target Top Collar Amount and the Actual Net Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Target Bottom Collar Amount, the sum of (x) the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Target Top Collar Amount and (y) the amount by which the Net Working Capital Target Bottom Collar Amount exceeds the Actual Net Working Capital, in each case as applicable.

(ii)If the Downward Adjustment Amount exceeds the Upward Adjustment Amount (such excess, the “Overpayment Amount”), the Shareholders shall be severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) liable for the Overpayment Amount and Parent may, in its sole discretion, withhold and set off all or a portion of the Overpayment Amount against future payments of the Indemnity Holdback Amount, if any, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to Parent at law or in equity.

(f)Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The post-Closing purchase price adjustments as set forth in this Section 3.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for income Tax purposes.

(g)

Cooperation. The parties hereto (i) shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, cooperate and (ii) shall make available to one another and their respective employees and Representatives and, if applicable, the Independent Accountant, at reasonable times and with reasonable advance notice, such books, Contracts, records, work papers and appropriate personnel and other information (including work papers, appropriate personnel, and outside advisors) as any of the foregoing may reasonably request, in each case, to prepare and review the Estimated Closing Statement or the Closing Statement for the purposes contemplated in this Section 3.3 (including pre-Closing documentation needed to determine whether the Estimate Closing Statement or the Closing Statement was prepared consistently with the Accounting Methodology). Parent and the Company each acknowledge and waive any actual or potential conflict of employees of any party assisting the Company and Parent as described in this Section 3.3 and will not prevent such access by the Company.

Section 3.4Accounts Receivable

(a)For a period of nine (9) months after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the Accounts Receivable in the Ordinary Course of Business; provided, however, that Parent will not be obligated to cause the Company to institute litigation, engage any collection agency, legal counsel or other third party, or take any other extraordinary means of collections or pay any expenses to third parties to collect the Accounts Receivable. All amounts collected by the Company after the Closing from an account debtor will be applied first to the Accounts Receivable of such account debtor in the order of their origination, unless the account debtor disputes such Accounts Receivable or designates or specifies payment of a different Accounts Receivable. If, by the opening of business on the Business Day following the date that is the nine-month anniversary of the Closing Date, less than 100% of the total amount of the Accounts Receivable included in the calculation of Actual Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3 (less the amount of doubtful accounts included within the calculation of the Actual Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3) has been collected by the Company (such shortfall amount, the “Uncollected A/R Amount”), then (a) Parent will provide to the Shareholders’ Representative, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, a written collection report in respect of the Accounts Receivable prepared in good faith and accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation, showing the Accounts Receivable collections for such nine-month period and the Uncollected A/R Amount and (b) Parent shall be entitled to deduct, release and retain the Uncollected A/R Amount from the Indemnity Holdback Amount in an aggregate amount not to

exceed $500,000 (the “Uncollected A/R Cap”). Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Shareholders’ Representative in answering any questions raised by the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with its review of the collection report provided by Parent.

(b)For the avoidance of doubt, recovery from the Indemnity Holdback Amount up to the Uncollected A/R Cap shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent or any of its Affiliates against the Shareholders, the Shareholders’ Representative, or any of their respective Affiliates or otherwise, arising out of or relating to the Uncollected A/R Amount and neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall have any claim against the Shareholders, the Shareholders’ Representative, or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective managers, officers, directors, partners, members, stockholders, employees, advisors, consultants, agents or other representatives in respect thereof.

(c)Concurrent with any setoff of the Uncollected A/R Amount against the Indemnity Holdback Amount pursuant to Section 3.4(a), Parent shall cause the Company to assign to the Shareholders’ Representative, for the benefit of the Shareholders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares), all right, title and interest in and to the Accounts Receivable comprising the Uncollected A/R Amount that was set-off against the Indemnity Holdback Amount (the “Uncollected Accounts”), free and clear of Encumbrances, which assignment shall be in form reasonably acceptable to the Shareholders’ Representative; provided, however, that, in exercising any collection efforts with respect to any Uncollected Account of a customer set forth on Section 4.21(a) of the Disclosure Schedules, the Shareholders’ Representative shall utilize ordinary collection methods and procedures as historically utilized by the Company but that do not include the use of, or the threat to use, a collection agency (or related service provider) or the commencement of litigation, except with Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned) (the “Collection Protocols”); provided, further, that, if Parent withholds such consent with respect to any Uncollected Account(s) of a customer in excess, in the aggregate, of $200,000, the Collection Protocols shall not apply to such customer.

Section 6.7Officer and Director Indemnification and Insurance

(a)Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liability for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company and the fiduciaries of any Company Plans (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), as provided in the Company Organizational Documents or indemnification agreements in effect on the date hereof that are disclosed in Section 6.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedules and true and complete copies of which have been made available to Parent, shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(b)For six years after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify all D&O Indemnified Parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law with respect to all acts and omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time arising out of or relating to their services as directors, officers or employees of the Company or another Person, if such D&O Indemnified Party is or was serving as a director, officer or employee of such other Person at the request of the Company, or fiduciaries of the Company Plans, whether asserted or claimed at, after, or before the Closing (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise).

(c)Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall obtain, at Parent’s expense, a non-cancelable run-off insurance policy (“D&O Tail Policy”), with a claims period of six (6) years after the Closing Date to provide insurance coverage for events, acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time for all persons who were directors or officers of the Company at or prior to the Effective Time, which D&O Tail Policy may contain terms and

conditions no less favorable to the insured persons than any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company. During the term of any such D&O Tail Policy, Parent shall not (and shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) take any action following the Closing to cause such D&O Tail Policy to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived in a manner that would have an adverse effect on the D&O Parties covered thereunder.

(d)

Parent hereby acknowledges that the D&O Indemnified Parties may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by other Persons, excluding the D&O Tail Policy. Parent hereby agrees that, excluding in each case the D&O Tail Policy and the insurer thereunder, (i) Parent and the Surviving Corporation are the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., their obligations under this Section 6.7 to the D&O Indemnified Parties are primary and any obligation of such other Persons to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any such D&O Indemnified Party are secondary), and (ii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation irrevocably waive, relinquish and release such other Persons from any and all claims against any such other Persons for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation further agrees that, excluding any such advancement or payment made under the D&O Tail Policy, no advancement or payment by any of such other Persons on behalf of any such D&O Indemnified Party with respect to any claim for which such D&O Indemnified Party has sought indemnification from the Surviving Corporation shall affect the foregoing and such other Persons (excluding the insurer under the D&O Tail Policy) shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such D&O Indemnified Party against the Surviving Corporation.

(e)The covenants contained in this Section 6.7 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a D&O Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, contract or otherwise.

(f)In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall take all necessary action so that the successors or assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.

(g)Parent agrees that the indemnification and exculpation of liability provisions contained in the forms of the SC Articles and/or the SC Bylaws attached as Exhibits C and D, respectively, as applicable, shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder in any material respect relating to the indemnification of the D&O Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is required by applicable Law.

Section 6.8Waiver of Conflicts; Attorney-Client Privilege

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement, recognizing that Xxxxx Xxxx PLC has acted as legal counsel to the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative and their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and that Xxxxx Hill PLC intends to continue to act as legal counsel to the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative and their respective Affiliates prior to Closing and as legal counsel to the Shareholders’ Representative and its Affiliates after the Closing, the Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, any conflicts that have arisen or may arise in connection with Xxxxx Xxxx PLC representing the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative and their respective Affiliates, prior to, at or after the Closing or the Shareholders’ Representative in contesting and settling any claims arising out of this Agreement or resolving any other disputes hereunder, including representing the Shareholders’ Representative or its Affiliates against the Company and/or its Affiliates in litigation, arbitration or mediation in connection therewith. Parent and the Company each consents, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, to the continued representation of the Shareholders’ Representative and its Affiliates by Xxxxx Hill PLC in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby notwithstanding the fact that Xxxxx Xxxx PLC may have represented, and may currently or in the future represent, the Company, Parent and/or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to unrelated matters and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement. In addition, Parent and the Company each hereby acknowledges that its consent and waiver under this Section 6.8 is voluntary and informed, and that Parent and the Company have each obtained independent legal advice with respect to this consent and waiver. Parent and the Company each agree that Xxxxx Hill PLC is an express third party beneficiary of this Section 6.8.

account any extensions), and shall timely pay all Taxes that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions), subject to prompt reimbursement by Parent for any such Taxes that are not Indemnified Taxes. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law).

(b)Filing of Certain Tax Returns by Parent After Closing Date. Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law or change in fact). Parent shall provide a draft of any such material Tax Return to the Shareholders’ Representative for its review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing thereof; provided, that, if any such material Tax Return is required to be filed within sixty (60) days of the ending date of the applicable Tax period, Parent shall provide a draft of any such material Tax Return to the Shareholder’s Representative for review and comment within such period of time prior to the due date for filing such material Tax Return as is reasonable under the circumstances to provide Shareholder’s Representative an adequate opportunity to review and comment. Not later than ten (10) days (for material Tax Returns provided to Shareholder’s Representative at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing thereof) or, within such reasonable time as may be applicable under the circumstances (for all other material Tax Returns), Shareholder’s Representative shall notify Parent in writing of any proposed changes that Shareholder’s Representative may have to any item set forth on such material Tax Returns and the basis for any such changes and Parent shall consider in good faith all such changes. If Shareholder’s Representative does not provide a notice of proposed changes to Parent for any such material Tax Returns within the time period specified in the preceding sentence, Parent is permitted to assume that Shareholder’s Representative has no proposed changes to any such material Tax Return. Parent shall be entitled (but not obligated) to deduct from the Indemnity Holdback Amount (i) Taxes due with respect to any such Tax Return that are Indemnified Taxes, and (iii) Transfer Taxes for which the Shareholders are responsible pursuant to Section 6.9(h). The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Parent.

(c)Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:

(i)in the case of Taxes (A) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (B) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (C) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with and included the Closing Date; and

(ii)in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

(d)Tax Refunds. Any Tax refunds that are received by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, and any amounts credited against Taxes to which Parent or the Surviving Corporation become entitled, that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of the Shareholders (net of any Taxes of Parent or the Surviving Corporation attributable to such refund or credit and reasonable expenses incurred by Parent or the Surviving Corporation in connection with obtaining such refund or credit), except to the extent (i) included as an asset in the determination of Net Working Capital or (ii) attributable to any Tax attribute arising in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, and, Parent shall pay over to the Shareholders’ Representative for the benefit of the Shareholders any such refund or the amount of such credit within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof or entitlement thereto, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any such Tax refund or credit is subsequently determined by any Governmental Authority to be less than the amount paid by Parent to the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 6.9(d), the Shareholders’ Representative shall return any such disallowed amounts (plus any interest and penalties in respect of such disallowed Tax refunds or credits owed to a Governmental Authority) to Parent (or its designee) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from Parent requesting the same. Parent may offset any amounts owed by it pursuant to this Section 6.9(d) against any Indemnified Taxes.

(e)Tax Proceedings. Parent shall promptly notify the Shareholders’ Representative in writing upon receipt by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Surviving Corporation) of any written communication from a Governmental Authority concerning any pending or threatened audit, claim, demand or administrative or judicial proceeding relating to Tax matters of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Parent pursuant to Article 9 (a “Tax Claim”) describing such Tax Claim in reasonable detail; provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Parent’s right to indemnification hereunder, except and only to the extent that the Shareholders or the Shareholders’ Representative forfeit rights or defenses or is otherwise materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. Parent shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that Parent shall obtain the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed, or denied) before entering into any settlement of a Tax Claim or ceasing to defend a Tax Claim. The Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled to participate, at its sole cost, in the defense of a Tax Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by the Shareholders’ Representative.

(f)Post-Closing Actions Relating to Taxes. Except as required by applicable Law or otherwise provided in this Section 6.9, Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Surviving Corporation) to, without the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed, or denied), (i) amend, refile or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any statute of limitations with respect to) any Tax Return of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods, (ii) voluntarily approach any Governmental Authority regarding any Tax matters of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period the result of which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) take any action after the Closing that is outside

the Ordinary Course of Business that would reasonably be expected to have material adverse effect on the Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iv) make or amend any Tax election with respect to the Surviving Corporation with retroactive effect for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that none of the following shall be deemed to restrict Parent from taking any action that it reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any VDA entered into by the Company with the applicable Governmental Authority of the State of California with respect to Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period . Following the Closing, the Shareholders’ Representative, Parent and the Company shall work together in good faith to enter into a VDA with respect to the items set forth in the VDA Application. The Shareholders’ Representative shall take all actions to cause all amounts due and owing by the Company with respect to the VDA to be paid timely, first, from the Representative Expense Amount and, second, by the Shareholders in accordance with each Shareholder’s respective Pro Rata Share.

(g)Section 338 Election. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall make, or cause to be made, any election under Section 338 of the Code (or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) with respect to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

(h)Transfer Taxes. Except with respect to Taxes arising from the Real Property Transaction which shall be borne solely by Parent, all transfer, value-added, documentary, sales, excise, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne 50% by Parent and 50% by the Shareholders. Parent shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes and, if required by applicable Law or to the extent reasonably requested, each party shall cooperate in the preparation and filing and join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(i)Termination of Existing Tax Sharing, Indemnity, Allocation and Similar Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing, Tax indemnity, Tax allocation, and similar agreements binding upon the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date, neither the Company nor any of its Representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

(j)Cooperation on Tax Matters. Each party shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return and any Action with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and, upon request, the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Action or any Tax planning and shall also include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each party further agrees, upon request, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including any Transfer Taxes).

(k)Conflicts. To the extent that any provision of Article 9 conflicts with any provision of this Section 6.9, the provisions of this Section 6.9 shall govern.

Section 6.10Shareholders’ Representative

(a)Appointment of Shareholders’ Representative. By approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or by executing and delivering a Letter of Transmittal, each Shareholder does hereby irrevocably appoint the Shareholders’ Representative, as its, his or her true and lawful attorney in fact and agent, with full power of substitution or re-substitution, to act on behalf of each such Shareholder to do or refrain from doing all such acts and things, and to execute and deliver all such documents, as the Shareholders’ Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in his, her or its sole discretion in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the power:

(i)to execute and deliver all amendments, waivers, ancillary agreements, instruments of assignment, notices, certificates and documents that the Shareholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including the consummation thereof) and any and all other agreements referenced herein;

(ii)to receive funds, make payments of funds, and give receipts for funds in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.8, Section 3.3, Section 3.4, Section 6.9 and Article 9);

(iii)to agree to, negotiate, and enter into resolutions, settlements and compromises in respect of, any matters described in Section 3.3, and to comply with orders, determinations and awards of the Independent Accountant thereunder;

(iv)to agree to, negotiate, litigate, arbitrate, resolve, settle and compromise, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, claims for indemnification made by any Parent Indemnitee pursuant to Article 9;

(v)to take all actions on behalf of such Shareholder as is contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents;

(vi)to receive all notices or documents given or to be given to such Shareholder by Parent or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents in connection herewith or therewith and to receive and accept service of legal process on behalf of such Shareholder in connection with any damages arising under or relating to this Agreement;

(vii)to engage counsel, and such accountants and other representatives for such Shareholder and incur such other expenses on behalf of such Shareholder in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents as the Shareholders’ Representative may, in each case, and in the Shareholders’ Representative’s sole discretion, deem appropriate;

(viii)to receive funds for the payment of expenses of any such Shareholder or the Shareholders’ Representative and to apply such funds in payment for such expenses; and

(ix)to interpret any and all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and make all determinations on behalf of such Shareholder as required under this Agreement.

The provisions of this Section 6.10, including the appointment of the Shareholders’ Representative and power of attorney granted hereby, shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (and shall not be terminated by any act of any one or more Shareholders, or by operation of Law, whether by death or other event). Following the Closing, Parent shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Shareholders’ Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement (including with respect to Section 2.8, Section 3.3, Section 3.4, Section 6.9 and Article 9) and Parent, the Company and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Shareholders’ Representative in all matters referred to herein, in each case as being fully binding upon the Shareholders. Any decision or action by the Shareholders’ Representative hereunder, including any agreement between the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims for indemnification hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all Shareholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Person. No Shareholder shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. Each Shareholder hereby (or by executing and delivering a Letter of Transmittal) confirms all that the Shareholders’ Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of his, her or its appointment as the representative of such Shareholder hereunder. The Shareholders’ Representative shall act for each Shareholder on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents in the manner that the Shareholders’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Shareholders, but the Shareholders’ Representative shall not be responsible to any Shareholder for any loss or damages which such Shareholder may suffer by the performance of the Shareholders’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement, other than loss or damages arising from willful violation of Laws, gross negligence or bad faith in the performance of such duties under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other document or agreement contemplated herein. The Shareholders’ Representative shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Transaction Document, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or shall otherwise exist against the Shareholders’ Representative.

(b)Reliance by Shareholders’ Representative. The Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any statements furnished to it by any Shareholder, Parent or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other evidence reasonably deemed by the Shareholders’ Representative to be reliable, and the Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled to act on the advice of counsel, accountants or other independent experts selected by him, her or it with due care.

(c)Expenses of Shareholders’ Representative. The Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled to retain counsel and to incur such out-of-pocket expenses

(including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) as the Shareholders’ Representative deems to be necessary or appropriate in connection with his, her or its performance of his, her or its duties under this Agreement, and all such fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the Shareholders’ Representative shall be borne by the Shareholders in accordance with each Shareholder’s respective Pro Rata Share. For the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholders’ Representative is not generating revenue as Shareholders’ Representative under this Agreement and is being reimbursed for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with fulfilling his, her or its role as Shareholders’ Representative under this Agreement. The Shareholders acknowledge that the Closing Merger Consideration includes a deduction of an amount equal to $300,000.00 (the “Representative Expense Amount”), which shall be paid to the Shareholders’ Representative for its use in connection with Section 6.9 and this Section 6.10. Following the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Time, the Shareholders’ Representative shall pay to the Shareholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares the remaining balance of the Representative Expense Amount; provided that the Shareholders’ Representative may, in its discretion, retain such amounts as the Shareholders’ Representative deems reasonably necessary to cover any anticipated Shareholders’ Representative Costs (as defined below) in connection with this Section 6.10.

(d)Indemnification.

(i)Each Shareholder hereby (or by executing and delivering a Letter of Transmittal) agrees to indemnify the Shareholders’ Representative (in his, her or its capacity as such), and to hold the Shareholders’ Representative (in his, her or its capacity as such) harmless from, such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including those incurred pursuant to Section 6.10(c)) or disbursements of whatever kind which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Shareholders’ Representative in such capacity in any way relating to or arising out of the Shareholders’ Representative’s action or failure to take action pursuant to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other document or agreement contemplated herein or therein or in connection herewith in such capacity (collectively the “Shareholders’ Representative Costs”); provided, however, that no Shareholder shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Shareholders’ Representative.

(ii)Any Shareholders’ Representative Costs shall be paid first, from the Representative Expense Amount, and second, if amounts from the Representative Expense Amount are insufficient to pay the Shareholders’ Representative Costs, then directly from the Shareholders in accordance with each Shareholder’s respective Pro Rata Share.

(e)Conflicts of Interest. The Shareholders understand and agree that the Shareholders’ Representative may have various actual, perceived or potential conflicts of interest and hereby (or by executing and delivering a Letter of Transmittal) waive and agree to waive any and all such conflicts of interest, to not assert any claim on the basis thereof, and not to seek to

disqualify the Shareholders’ Representative due to any and all such conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest or appearances of impropriety.

(f)Death or Resignation. In the event of the death, incapacity or resignation of the Shareholders’ Representative, a new Shareholders’ Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the majority in interest of the Shareholders (according to each Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share). Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Shareholders’ Representative shall be sent to Parent, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such notice is received by Parent; provided, that until such notice is received, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to rely on the decisions and actions of the prior Shareholders’ Representative.

(c)The Company agrees that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 6.11 shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to Parent and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Parent.

Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Article 7 have been satisfied, and if such matter results in a material inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement, as reasonably determined by Parent in good faith, then Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such Schedule Supplement, by written notice to the Company.

Section 6.13Financing; PPP Loan; Financial Statements

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article 9, Parent shall indemnify and defend each of the Shareholders and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Shareholder Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Shareholder Indemnitees arising out of:

(a)any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Parent and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or in any Parent Document;

(b)any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement; or

(c)the Real Property Transaction (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholder Indemnitees shall not make any claim for indemnification against Parent under this Section 9.3(c) by reason of any otherwise indemnifiable claim brought by a Parent Indemnitee against the Shareholders under Section 9.2).

Section 9.4Certain Limitations; Materiality Scrape

. The indemnification provided for in Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 shall be subject to the following provisions:

(a)(i) The Shareholders shall not be liable to the Parent Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.2(a) exceeds $240,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Shareholders shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Deductible, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Shareholders shall be liable for indemnification under Section 9.2(a), Section 9.2(b), and Section 9.2(d) shall not exceed the Indemnity Holdback Amount; provided, however, that neither Section 9.4(a)(i) nor Section 9.4(a)(ii) shall apply to Losses arising out of (A) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 4.1 (Organization and Power), Section 4.2 (Authority; Binding Obligation; Board Approval), Section 4.4 (Capitalization), Section 4.18 (Brokers) or Section 4.12 (Taxes) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) or (B) actual fraud of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) no Shareholder shall be liable with respect to any Loss in excess of the amount equal to such Loss multiplied by such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share, and (y) but subject to this Section 9.4, a Shareholder’s aggregate liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the amounts paid to such Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, this sentence shall not be deemed to limit or restrict in any manner any right of Parent or other Parent Indemnitee to deduct, release, and retain from the Indemnity Holdback Amount the amount of any Losses payable to it pursuant to this Article 9.

(b)Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim, less any related costs and expenses, including the aggregate cost of pursuing any related insurance claims and any related increases in insurance premiums or other chargebacks (it being agreed that each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to recover insurance proceeds in connection with making a claim under this Article 9 and that, promptly after the realization of any insurance proceeds, indemnity, contribution or other similar payment, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such reduction in Losses for which the Indemnified Party was indemnified prior to the realization of reduction of such Losses).

(c)The Shareholders shall not be liable under this Article 9 for any duplication of amounts taken into account in (i) the determinations pursuant to Section 3.3 of Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Net Working Capital, Estimated Cash, Estimated Transaction Expenses, Actual Indebtedness, Actual Net Working Capital, Actual Cash, or Actual Transaction Expenses or (ii) the determination of the Uncollected A/R Amount pursuant to Section 3.4.

(d)For purposes of this Article 9, in calculating any Losses, as opposed to whether there has been a breach or inaccuracy, such Losses shall be calculated without regard to qualifications as to “materiality,” including the word “material” or “Material Adverse Effect”.

Section 9.5Indemnification Procedures

. The Person making a claim under this Article 9 is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the Person against whom such claims are asserted under this Article 9 is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. For purposes of this

Article 9, (i) if Parent (or any other Parent Indemnitee) is the Indemnified Party, any references to Indemnifying Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make payments) shall be deemed to refer to the Shareholders’ Representative and (ii) if Parent is the Indemnifying Party, any references to the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to refer to the Shareholders’ Representative. Any payment received by the Shareholders’ Representative as the Indemnified Party shall be distributed to the Shareholders in accordance with this Agreement.

(a)Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure or is otherwise materially prejudiced by such delay. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to direct and control the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to the Shareholders’ Representative. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. The Shareholders’ Representative and Parent shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim.

(b)Settlement of Third Party Claims. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed, or denied).

(c)Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure or is otherwise materially prejudiced by such delay. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s

investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)Indemnified Litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.5(a), (b), or (c) but subject to the terms in this Section 9.5(d), the Shareholders, through the Shareholders’ Representative, shall have the right to contest, defend, litigate or settle the Indemnified Litigation with the representation of counsel that is currently engaged (or counsel’s successor as chosen by the Shareholders’ Representative acceptable to Parent) regarding the Indemnified Litigation. In connection therewith, (i) the Parent Indemnitees shall reasonably cooperate with the Shareholders’ Representative and such counsel in their preparation and conduct of such defense and shall provide the Shareholders’ Representative and its counsel with such documents and information relating thereto as the Shareholders’ Representative or such counsel may reasonably request, (ii) the Parent Indemnitees shall have the right to be represented by counsel at their own expense in such defense conducted by the Shareholders’ Representative and (iii) the Shareholders’ Representative may not enter into any settlement of the Indemnified Litigation without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed, or denied) of Parent (unless, with respect to such settlement, (A) the claimant and the Shareholders’ Representative provide to the Parent Indemnitees an unqualified and unconditional release from all liability in respect of the Indemnified Litigation on a customary form reasonably acceptable to each applicable Parent Indemnitees, and (B) such settlement does not impose any liabilities or obligations on the Parent Indemnitees other than financial obligations for which such Parent Indemnitees will be indemnified in full hereunder by the Shareholders, or unless the Parent Indemnitees waive any right to indemnification from the Shareholders in respect of the Indemnified Litigation, in either which case the Shareholders’ Representative may enter into any such settlement of the Indemnified Litigation without any consent from the Parent Indemnitees). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the anticipated settlement or other resolution of the Indemnified Litigation is reasonably expected to exceed the Indemnified Litigation Amount in the opinion of Parent’s counsel, then the Parent shall have, after reasonable consultation with the Shareholders’ Representative, the right to replace the counsel, subject to the insurance carrier’s consent, that is currently engaged on behalf of the Company (or that counsel’s successor as chosen by the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to the terms hereof) and to contest, defend, litigate or settle the Indemnified Litigation with the representation of its counsel (reasonably acceptable to Shareholders’ Representative), at its reasonable discretion regarding the Indemnified Litigation; provided, however, that the Parent Indemnitees shall have no recourse under Article IX for the attorneys’ fees of such replacement counsel (a) in respect of any incremental difference between such replacement counsel’s fees that are based on hourly rates in excess of the hourly rates charged by existing counsel, or (b) if such fees are not covered by the Company’s insurance carrier. In the event that existing counsel engaged on behalf of the Company regarding the Indemnified Litigation is replaced as described above, then the Shareholders’ Representative shall have the right to be represented by counsel at its own expense and the Parent Indemnitees shall reasonably cooperate with the Shareholders’ Representative and its counsel.

(e)Disputes. Nothing in this Section 9.5 shall prohibit an Indemnifying Party from disputing its indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations with respect to any Third Party Claim or Direct Claim, and all such disputes shall be governed by Section 11.12 hereof.

Section 9.6Payments; Release of Indemnity Holdback Amount

(a)Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article 9, (i) in the case of a Loss for any claim under Section 9.2, Parent shall be entitled to deduct, release and retain from the Indemnity Holdback Amount the lesser of (A) the amount of such Loss and (B) the then-remaining balance of the Indemnity Holdback Amount; provided, however, that in the case of a Loss for (1) a claim made by a Parent Indemnitee under Section 9.2(a) for any inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation or (2) a claim made by a Parent Indemnitee under Section 9.2(c), Section 9.2(e) or Section 9.2(f), (x) if such Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article 9 after the first Business Day following the Indemnified Litigation Expiration Date, then, after applying the then-remaining portion, if any, of the Indemnity Holdback Amount to such Losses, any remaining Loss may be satisfied from the Shareholders, severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) or (y) if such Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article 9 prior to the first Business Day following the Indemnified Litigation Expiration Date, then all or a portion of such Loss may be satisfied, at Parent’s sole discretion, (I) from the Indemnity Holdback Amount and/or (II) from the Shareholders, severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares); and (ii) in the case of a Loss for any claim under Section 9.3, Parent shall pay to the Shareholders’ Representative, for the benefit of the Shareholders (in accordance with respective Pro Rata Shares), within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the amount of such Loss pursuant to this Article 9, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Shareholders’ Representative, the amount of such Loss.

(b)(i) In the event that the Indemnified Litigation Expiration Date shall have occurred prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Holdback Period, then, on the first Business Day following the expiration of the Indemnity Holdback Period, Parent shall release to the Shareholders’ Representative, for the benefit of the Shareholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares), the then-remaining balance of the Indemnity Holdback Amount, less the aggregate amount of all Losses specified in any then-unresolved claims for indemnification made in accordance with this Article 9 or (ii) in the event that the Indemnified Litigation Expiration Date shall not have occurred prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Holdback Period, then, (A) on the first Business Day following the expiration of the Indemnity Holdback Period, Parent shall release to the Shareholders’ Representative, for the benefit of the Shareholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares), the then-remaining balance of the Indemnity Holdback Amount, less the sum of (1) the aggregate amount of all Losses specified in any then-unresolved claims for indemnification made in accordance with this Article 9 plus (2) an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $1,500,000 (the “Indemnified Litigation Amount”) and (y) the then-remaining balance of the Indemnity Holdback Amount, and (B) on the first Business Day following the Indemnified Litigation Expiration Date, Parent shall release to the Shareholders’ Representative, for the benefit of the Shareholders (in accordance with their

respective Pro Rata Shares), the then-remaining balance of the Indemnity Holdback Amount (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall take into account the deduction of all Losses incurred or payable by any Parent Indemnitee arising of out any judgment or award issued by a court, or any settlement entered into, in respect of the Indemnified Litigation), less the aggregate amount of all Losses specified in any then-unresolved claims for indemnification made in accordance with this Article 9. In the event any portion of the applicable amount is not released to the Shareholders’ Representative in accordance with the preceding sentence as a result of the reduction in respect of any then-unresolved claims for indemnification, following the final determination of any such outstanding claims and payment in respect thereof by release of funds from the Indemnity Holdback Amount to Parent pursuant to Section 9.6(a), Parent shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of such claims, release to the Shareholders’ Representative, for the benefit of the Shareholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares), an amount as determined pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9.6(b) (after giving effect to the resolution and, as applicable, payment of such claims by release of funds from the Indemnity Holdback Amount to Parent).

Section 9.7Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments

. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 9.8Exclusive Remedies

. Except as provided in Section 11.14, each party acknowledges and agrees that, following the Closing, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9, the post-Closing adjustment provisions set forth in Section 3.3 or the Tax payment and dispute provisions set forth in Section 6.9, as applicable. In furtherance of the foregoing, but without limiting or otherwise affecting in any respect the rights of indemnification expressly provided for under this Article 9, the post-Closing adjustment provisions set forth in Section 3.3 or the Tax payment and dispute provisions set forth in Section 6.9, as applicable, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law and except as provided in Section 11.14, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law and following the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 9 or elsewhere in this Agreement, nothing in this Article 9 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek and obtain any remedy for actual fraud. For the avoidance of doubt and without xxxxxx the generality of the preceding sentence, none of the limitations set forth in Section 9.4, Section 9.6, this Section 9.8 or elsewhere in this Agreement (including in Section 11.3) shall apply to any claim or remedy for actual fraud.

Section 9.9No Circular Recovery

Section 9.10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Shareholders’ Representative, on behalf of itself and the Shareholders, hereby agrees that it will not make any claim for indemnification against any Parent Indemnitee by reason of the fact that any Shareholder was a controlling person, director, employee or representative of the Company or any of its Affiliates or was serving as such for another Person
