WHEREAS, Parent, RGGPLS and Xxxxxxx desire to make the covenants and agreements set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE II
Indemnification
SECTION 2.01. Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants. Solely for purposes of this Agreement, the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article III of the Merger Agreement, and the covenants of the Company in the Merger Agreement, shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect, until the Termination Date.
SECTION 2.02. Indemnification. (a) Subject to Section 2.01, Parent Losses shall be calculated as the cumulative sum of any and all Losses suffered or incurred by Parent, up to the amount of the Escrowed Amount, that arise out of:
(i) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company that is contained in Article III of the Merger Agreement; or
(ii) the breach of any covenant of the Company that is contained in the Merger Agreement and that requires performance prior to the Closing Date.
(b) For the purposes of calculating the Parent Losses pursuant to this Section 2.02, such Parent Losses shall be net of any amount recovered by Parent under insurance policies with respect to such Parent Losses. To the extent that Parent (or its subsidiaries) has insurance coverage in respect of any Loss, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to claim against such insurance.
2
SECTION 2.03. Third-Party Claims. (a) If a claim by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) is made against Parent arising out of a matter which will result in a Parent Loss pursuant to Section 2.02, Parent and Xxxxxxx shall promptly notify RGGPLS in writing (in reasonable detail) of such claim promptly after receipt of such claim. The failure to promptly notify RGGPLS hereunder shall not impair the payment by the Escrow Agent of Escrowed Funds to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders pursuant to Article IV, except to the extent that RGGPLS is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure (except that Parent Losses shall not include any expenses that were incurred during the period in which Parent or Xxxxxxx failed to give such notice). Thereafter, Parent shall deliver to RGGPLS, within 5 Business Days’ time after receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received relating to such Third Party Claim.
(b) RGGPLS shall be entitled to participate in the defense of a Third-Party Claim, through its counsel, at its own expense; provided, however, that Parent shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of RGGPLS’ counsel if RGGPLS reasonably determines that the defense of such Third-Party Claim will involve a conflict of interest between Parent and RGGPLS. If RGGPLS so chooses, it may assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and in such case Parent shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of RGGPLS’ counsel.
(c) With respect to any Third Party Claim, Parent shall cooperate with RGGPLS in the defense and prosecution of such Third Party Claim, including by providing records and information that RGGPLS reasonably determines is relevant to such Third-Party Claim. Parent shall not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of RGGPLS.
SECTION 2.04. Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(a) No Escrowed Funds shall be paid pursuant to Article IV by the Escrow Agent to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders in respect of Parent Losses (i) until the aggregate amount of Parent Losses exceeds on a cumulative basis $250,000, provided that no Loss shall be included in the calculation of the aggregate Parent Losses set forth in this clause (i) other than individual Losses in excess of $1,000, or (ii) for individual or cumulative Parent Losses in excess of the Escrowed Amount. Notwithstanding any provision herein, no Escrowed Funds shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders pursuant to Article IV with respect to Parent Losses resulting from any special or punitive damages or any Losses that are not reasonably foreseeable or reasonably related to the breach giving rise to such Loss. Parent, RGGPLS and Xxxxxxx shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability that may lead to Parent Losses hereunder including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability;
(b) Xxxxxxx and Parent further acknowledge and agree that, other than (i) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article III of the Merger Agreement and (ii) the covenants of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement,
3
there are no representations, warranties or covenants of the Company either expressed or implied with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement; and
(c) Parent and Xxxxxxx further agree that the Escrowed Funds shall not be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders pursuant to Article IV in respect of any Parent Losses if the fact, matter, event or occurrence giving rise to such Parent Losses (i) was disclosed in the Merger Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter or any other Transaction Agreement, or (ii) is reserved against or reflected in the Company Financial Statements.
SECTION 2.05. Exclusive Remedy. Parent’s right to receive the Escrowed Amount for distribution to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders in connection with Parent Losses calculated according to Article II constitutes Parent’s sole remedy for Losses with respect to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Article III of the Merger Agreement that survives the Closing Date, (ii) the breach of any covenant of the Company that is contained in the Merger Agreement and requires performance prior to the Closing Date, or (iii) any claim arising out of the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or the Transactions, and shall prevent the assertion by Parent of any other rights or the seeking of any remedies with respect to the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or the Transactions against RGGPLS or the other Company Members (other than with respect to a cause of action arising from fraud). In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Xxxxxxx and Parent hereby waive, from and after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action with respect to the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or the Transactions, including rescinding the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, that it may have against the Company, RGGPLS or the other Company Members arising under or based upon any applicable Law or arising under or based upon common Law or otherwise (except (i) pursuant to the provisions relating to the Escrowed Funds set forth in this Agreement or (ii) with respect to a cause of action arising from fraud).
SECTION 2.06. Termination of Indemnification. Parent’s rights under this Agreement for any Parent Losses shall terminate upon the Termination Date; provided, however, that Parent’s rights with respect to any Parent Loss shall not terminate if a Claim has been made for such Parent Loss in accordance with the terms of Article IV on or prior to the Termination Date.
ARTICLE III
Creation of Escrow;
Investment of Escrowed Funds
SECTION 3.01. Creation of Escrow. Parent hereby directs the Escrow Agent, at the Effective Time, in its capacity as trustee under the Trust Agreement, to transfer to the Escrow Agent, out of the Trust Funds otherwise payable to Parent pursuant to the Trust Agreement, an amount equal to the Escrowed Amount. The Escrow Agent hereby agrees to accept the Escrowed Amount and hold the same in escrow pursuant to
4
the terms of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent and the other parties hereto agree that all Escrowed Funds held hereunder shall be held for the account of the Parent Indemnified Stockholders for purposes of payment to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders as required under Article IV hereunder and, if not so paid, for the account of Parent to be used as Parent shall determine.
SECTION 3.02. Investment of Escrowed Funds. The Escrow Agent, at the written direction of RGGPLS, shall, to the extent practicable, invest and reinvest the Escrowed Amount in any of the following as may be specified in writing by RGGPLS: (i) readily marketable direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America maturing within one year from their respective dates of issuance, or (ii) certificates of deposit maturing within 30 days from their respective dates of issuance and issued by state or national banking institutions each of which shall have a capital and undivided surplus (as reflected in its latest publicly available financial statements) aggregating at least $50 million.
ARTICLE IV
Release of Escrowed Funds
SECTION 4.01. Release of Escrowed Funds. The Escrow Agent agrees not to release the Escrowed Funds to Parent except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article IV.
SECTION 4.02. Payment to Parent Indemnified Stockholders. (a) If at any time and from time to time on or prior to the Termination Date Xxxxxxx discovers that Parent Losses have been suffered or incurred that would require the release of all or a portion of the Escrowed Amount, Xxxxxxx shall provide written notice of such Parent Losses to the Escrow Agent on or prior to the Termination Date (such notice, a “Claim”) and deliver at the same time a copy of such Claim to RGGPLS. The Claim shall indicate the amount of Parent Losses as calculated pursuant to Article II of this Agreement (the “Indemnity Amount”) and shall with reasonable specificity state the facts or circumstances giving rise to such Parent Losses.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall, between 11 and 15 Business Days after the date of receipt of the Claim, or as soon as practicable thereafter, transfer and deliver an amount of the Escrowed Amount equal to the Indemnity Amount to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders in accordance with Section 4.02(c), unless the Escrow Agent shall have received, within 10 Business Days after the date of the receipt of the Claim, a written objection from RGGPLS to such transfer and delivery setting forth the amount in dispute, in which case the Escrow Agent shall transfer and deliver any undisputed amount to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders in accordance with Section 4.02(c) and shall continue to hold the disputed amount until either (A) receipt of a certificate signed by Xxxxxxx and RGGPLS directing the Escrow Agent to deliver an amount equal to the Indemnity Amount set forth in such certificate to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders in accordance with Section 4.02(c) or (B) receipt of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction directing the Escrow Agent to deliver an amount equal to the
5
Indemnity Amount specified therein to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders in accordance with Section 4.02(c).
(c) Subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02(b), the Escrow Agent shall pay any Indemnity Amount to each Parent Indemnified Stockholder in the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock then held by such stockholder bears to the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock then held by the Parent Indemnified Stockholders as a whole (it being understood that the number of shares of Common Stock held by any Parent Indemnified Stockholder shall be adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, merger or consolidation or other change or transaction by Parent occurring after the Effective Time and prior to the date of such dividend).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that to the extent any amounts are paid to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders pursuant to this Section 4.02, such amounts shall continue to be counted as part of the cumulative sum of Parent Losses.
SECTION 4.03. Payment to Parent at the Termination Date. Promptly after the Termination Date and upon written notice from Parent, the Escrow Agent shall transfer and deliver any Escrowed Funds that have not otherwise been paid by the Escrow Agent to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders in accordance with Section 4.02, if any, to Parent, except to the extent of a Claim having been made in accordance with Section 4.02(a) or a dispute with respect to a Claim as set forth in Section 4.02(b). Such remaining Escrowed Funds shall not be paid to the Parent Indemnified Stockholders and shall be transferred and delivered to Parent to be used as Parent shall determine. Parent shall deliver the written notice referred to above to the Escrow Agent after the Termination Date.
ARTICLE V
The Escrow Agent
SECTION 5.01. General. (a) The Escrow Agent shall not deal with the Escrowed Funds except in accordance with (i) this Agreement, (ii) written instructions given in conformity with this Agreement or (iii) instructions agreed to in writing by Xxxxxxx and RGGPLS. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound in any way by the Merger Agreement or by any agreement or contract among RGGPLS, Xxxxxxx or Parent (whether or not the Escrow Agent has knowledge thereof), it being understood that the Escrow Agent’s only duties and responsibilities shall be to invest, hold and distribute the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any loss resulting from investments of the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent makes no representations and has no responsibility as to the validity, genuineness or sufficiency of any of the documents or instruments included in the subject matter of the escrow. The Escrow Agent may rely and shall be protected in relying upon any resolution, certificate, opinion, request, communication, demand, receipt or other paper or document in good
6
faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to Parent, Xxxxxxx, RGGPLS or the other Company Members. In the administration of the escrow account hereunder, the Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform its duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons.
(c) Parent hereby agrees to indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the carrying out of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability, except in those cases where the Escrow Agent has been guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special or punitive damages or any damages that are not reasonably foreseeable or reasonably related to the breach giving rise to such damages even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
(d) In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims, or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by all of the other parties hereto or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(e) Any corporation into which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act.
SECTION 5.02. Resignation. The Escrow Agent or any successor Escrow Agent hereunder may resign by giving 30 days’ prior written notice of resignation to Parent, Xxxxxxx and RGGPLS, and such resignation shall be effective from the date specified in such notice. In case the office of Escrow Agent shall become vacant for any reason, Xxxxxxx and RGGPLS may jointly appoint a bank or trust company having capital and undivided surplus (as reflected in its latest publicly available certified financial statements) of not less than $25 million and having an office in New York, New York, as successor Escrow Agent hereunder by an instrument or instruments in writing
7
delivered to such successor Escrow Agent, the retiring Escrow Agent, Xxxxxxx and RGGPLS, whereupon such successor Escrow Agent shall succeed to all the rights and obligations of the retiring Escrow Agent as if this Agreement were originally executed by such successor Escrow Agent, and the retiring Escrow Agent shall duly transfer and deliver to such successor Escrow Agent the Escrowed Funds in the form held by it hereunder at such time.
SECTION 5.03. Communication. The Escrow Agent may direct all communications, notices and matters relating to the administration of the escrow account hereunder to Xxxxxxx and RGGPLS.
ARTICLE VI
SECTION 6.01. Term of Agreement.

SECTION 7.03. Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that RGGPLS shall be permitted to merge with or into, consolidate with, liquidate and recontribute its assets and liabilities to, convert into, exchange its capital stock for equity interests in, or otherwise change its form or status to, in each case a limited liability company the equity interests of which are beneficially owned in the same proportion and by the same persons as the capital stock of RGGPLS was beneficially owned (each of such actions, a “Conversion” and, RGGPLS as so Converted into a limited liability company, “Newco”), and, that from and after such Conversion (i) Newco shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of RGGPLS under this Agreement without the consent of or any action of any of the parties hereto or any written amendment hereto, (ii) Newco shall be entitled to enforce all of the rights, and perform all of the obligations, hereunder as if Newco was a signatory hereto and (iii) all references in this Agreement to RGGPLS shall be deemed references to Newco. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding
10
sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
SECTION 7.04. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, written and oral.
SECTION 7.05. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State.
SECTION 7.06. Interpretation. The article, section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.
SECTION 7.07. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be a single agreement.
SECTION 7.08. Amendment; No Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended, waived or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by RGGPLS, Xxxxxxx, Parent and the Escrow Agent. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition, of this Agreement. The failure of any party at any time to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect its right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any breach of any term contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such breach in any subsequent instance or waiver of any breach of any other term contained in this Agreement.
SECTION 7.09. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any New York state court or any Federal court located in the State of New York in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement in any court other than any New York state court or any Federal court sitting in the State of New York, and (d) waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any action related to or arising out of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.10. Severability.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of
11
being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
