(a) At the Closing, Purchaser shall deposit an amount of cash equal to any Company Net Working Capital Surplus with the Escrow Agent, 80% of which amount shall be deposited in the PPS Indemnity Escrow Fund and 20% of which shall be deposited in the NBT Indemnity Escrow Fund, in each case to be held and distributed pursuant to this Section 1.4. “Company Net Working Capital Surplus” means the amount, if any, by which the amount of Company Net Working Capital set forth in the Company Closing Financial Certificate exceeds the Company Net Working Capital Target. “Company Net Working Capital Target” means $1,000,000.00.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, and in any event within 90 days after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the PPS Agent a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of Company Net Working Capital.

(c) Unless the PPS Agent notifies Purchaser in writing within 30 days after Purchaser’s delivery of the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 1.4(b) of any objection to the computations set forth in the Closing Statement (the “Notice of Objection”), together with reasonable supporting detail with respect to the basis of such objection, the Closing Statement and Purchaser’s calculations of Company Net Working Capital shall be final and binding for all purposes hereunder. Any Notice of Objection shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for the objections set forth therein and shall include the PPS Agent’s calculation of any amounts that are disputed by such Notice of Objection (the “Disputed Amounts”).

If, after the 30-day period set forth in this Section 1.4(d), Purchaser and the PPS Agent cannot resolve any matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, then Purchaser and the PPS Agent shall engage an independent accounting firm not affiliated with either Purchaser or the Company (the “Accounting Firm”) to review only the Disputed Amounts that are then still disputed by Purchaser and the PPS Agent. After such review and a review of the Company’s

relevant books and records, the Accounting Firm shall promptly (and in any case within 30 days after its engagement) determine the resolution of the Disputed Amounts. The Accounting Firm shall only resolve the Disputed Amounts by choosing the amounts submitted by either Purchaser or the PPS Agent or amounts in between. The Company and the PPS Agent shall each furnish to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the Disputed Amounts as the Accounting Firm may request. The resolution of the Disputed Amounts by the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and the PPS Stockholders, and the determination of the Accounting Firm shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover. The date on which Company Net Working Capital is finally determined in accordance with Section 1.4(c) or this Section 1.4(d) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(e) “Post-Closing NWC Adjustment” means an amount, positive or negative, equal to (x) the amount of Company Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.4(b), Section 1.4(c) or Section 1.4(d), as the case may be, minus (y) the Company Net Working Capital Baseline. “Company Net Working Capital Baseline” means the Company Net Working Capital Target, except where the amount of Company Net Working Capital set forth in the Company Closing Financial Certificate is less than the amount of the Company Net Working Capital Target, in which case Company Net Working Capital Baseline means the amount of Company Net Working Capital set forth in the Company Closing Financial Certificate.

(iii) In the event that the Post-Closing NWC Adjustment is positive and no Company Net Working Capital Surplus has been deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 1.4(a), Purchaser shall, within five Business Days of the Determination Date, pay an amount of cash (A) to PPS equal to 80% of the Post-Closing NWC Adjustment and (B) to NBT equal to 20% of the Post-Closing NWC Adjustment.

(iv) In the event that the Post-Closing NWC Adjustment is negative, Purchaser shall, within five Business Days of the Determination Date, instruct, jointly with the PPS Agent and NBT, the Escrow Agent to distribute to Purchaser an amount of cash equal to (A) 80% of the sum of (I) the Company Net Working Capital Surplus, if any, plus (II) the absolute value of the Post-Closing NWC Adjustment, from the PPS Indemnity Escrow Fund, and (B) 20% of the sum of (I) the Company Net Working Capital Surplus, if any, plus (II) the absolute value of the Post-Closing NWC Adjustment, from the NBT Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no amount distributed to any party hereto from the PPS Indemnity Escrow Fund or the NBT Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be subject to a Threshold Amount.

(f) Purchaser and the PPS Agent shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the resolution of the Disputed Amounts; provided that the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated (i) to Purchaser in the event that the difference between the Accounting Firm’s Determination and Purchaser’s Determination is greater than the difference between the Accounting Firm’s Determination and the PPS Agent’s Determination, (ii) to the PPS Agent in the event that the difference between the Accounting Firm’s Determination and the PPS Agent’s Determination is greater than the difference between the Accounting Firm’s Determination and the Purchaser’s Determination and (iii) equally by Purchaser and the PPS Agent if such differences are equal. “Accounting Firm’s Determination” means the Accounting Firm’s determination of the Disputed Amounts reviewed by the Accounting Firm, the “Purchaser’s Determination” means the calculation of such Disputed Amounts submitted to the Accounting Firm by Purchaser and the “PPS Agent’s Determination” means the calculation of such Disputed Amounts submitted to the Accounting Firm by the PPS Agent.

1.5 Tax Consequences. Purchaser makes no representations or warranties to the Company, the Sellers or any other Person regarding the Tax treatment of the Purchase, or any of the Tax consequences to the Company, any Seller or any other Person of this Agreement, the Purchase or the other agreements or actions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and the Sellers acknowledge that the Company and the Sellers (and, in the case of PPS, the PPS Stockholders) are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement, the Purchase and the other agreements or actions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser agrees to report the Purchase Consideration payable to each Seller in exchange for its Interest pursuant to Section 1.1 consistent with the understanding that the Purchase Consideration does not constitute compensation for any services rendered or to be rendered by a Seller (or any of its stockholders).

2.4 Financial Statements; Absence of Changes.

(a) The Company has delivered to Purchaser its audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013 (including, in each case, balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of changes in members’ equity and statements of cash flows), and its unaudited balance sheets (the “Interim Financial Statements”) as of the months ended January 31, 2014,

February 28, 2014 and March 31, 2014 (such audited financial statements and the Interim Financial Statements, collectively, the “Financial Statements”), which are included as Schedule 2.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. The Financial Statements (i) are derived from and in accordance with the books and records of the Company, (ii) complied as to form with applicable accounting requirements with respect thereto as of their respective dates, (iii) fairly and accurately present the financial condition of the Company at the dates therein indicated and, as applicable, the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods therein specified and (iv) were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, subject, in the case of Interim Financial Statements, to normal and recurring year-end audit adjustments (none of which individually or in the aggregate will be material in amount) and the absence of footnotes.

(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company has no Liabilities of any nature other than (i) those set forth or adequately provided for in the unaudited balance sheet included in the Financial Statements as of March 31, 2014 (such balance sheet, the “Company Balance Sheet,” and such date, the “Company Balance Sheet Date”), (ii) those incurred in the conduct of the Company’s business since the Company Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice that are of the type that ordinarily recur and, individually or in the aggregate, are not material in nature or amount and do not result from any breach of Contract, warranty, infringement, tort or violation of Applicable Law or (iii) those incurred by the Company in connection with the execution of this Agreement. Except for Liabilities reflected in the Financial Statements, the Company has no off-balance sheet Liability of any nature to, or any financial interest in, any third parties or entities, the purpose or effect of which is to defer, postpone, reduce or otherwise avoid or adjust the recording of expenses incurred by the Company. All reserves that are set forth in or reflected in the Company Balance Sheet, including reserves for losses related to Loans issued by the Banks pursuant to the Programs, have, except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, been established in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and are adequate.

(e) The accounts receivable of the Company (the “Accounts Receivable”) as reflected on the Company Balance Sheet and as will be reflected in the Company Closing Financial Certificate arose in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and represent bona fide claims against debtors for sales and other charges, and have been collected or are collectible in the book amounts thereof within 60 days following the Agreement Date, less an amount not in excess of the allowance for doubtful accounts provided for in the Company Balance Sheet or in the Company Closing Financial Certificate, as the case may be. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(e)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, allowances for doubtful accounts and refunds have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and in accordance with the Company’s past practice and are sufficient to provide for any losses that may be sustained on realization of the applicable Accounts Receivable. The Accounts Receivable arising after the Company Balance Sheet Date and before the Closing Date (i) arose or shall arise in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (ii) represented or shall represent bona fide claims against debtors for sales and other charges and (iii) except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(e)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, have been collected or are collectible in the book amounts thereof within 60 days following the Agreement Date, less allowances for doubtful accounts and refunds determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and the Company’s past

practice that are or shall be sufficient to provide for any losses that may be sustained on realization of the applicable Accounts Receivable. None of the Accounts Receivable is subject to any claim of offset, recoupment, set-off or counter-claim and, to the knowledge of the Company, there are no facts or circumstances (whether asserted or unasserted) that could give rise to any such claim. No material amount of Accounts Receivable is contingent upon the performance by the Company of any obligation or Contract. No Person has any Lien on any Accounts Receivable, and no agreement for deduction or discount has been made with respect to any such Accounts Receivable. Schedule 2.4(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth, as of the Agreement Date, (i) the aggregate amount of Accounts Receivable that were subject to asserted refund claims made within the last year and the number of such claims made within the last year, (ii) the aggregate number and amount of such refund claims that were actually paid within the last year and (iii) with respect to each of clauses (i) and (ii), the aggregate distribution of such refund claims by type.

None of the Company, the Company’s independent auditors and, to the knowledge of the Company, any current or former employee or consultant of the Company, has identified or been made aware of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves the Company’s management or other current or former employees or consultants of the Company who have a role in the preparation of financial statements or the internal accounting controls utilized by the Company, or any claim or allegation regarding any of the foregoing. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, none of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, the Representatives of the Company has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, in each case, regarding deficient accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of the Company or its internal accounting controls or any material inaccuracy in the Company’s financial statements. No attorney representing the Company, whether or not employed by the Company, has reported to the Company Board or any committee thereof or to any officer of the Company evidence of a material violation of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by the Company or its Representatives. There are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of the Company’s internal controls that could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there has been no change in the Company accounting policies since the Company’s inception, except as described in the Financial Statements.

6.1 Confidentiality; Public Disclosure.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge that Purchaser and the Company have previously executed a non-disclosure agreement, dated as of October 29, 2013 (as amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Each party hereto agrees that it and its Representatives shall hold the terms of this Agreement (including the economic terms), and the fact of this Agreement’s existence, in strict confidence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, a party hereto shall be permitted to disclose any and all terms of this Agreement to its financial, tax and legal advisors (each of whom is subject to a similar obligation of confidentiality), and to any Governmental Entity to the extent necessary or advisable in compliance with Applicable Law; provided that the other parties hereto are given reasonable prior notice or consent thereto (unless prohibited by Applicable Law). The PPS Agent hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement to the same extent as though the PPS Agent were a party thereto. With respect to the PPS Agent, as used in the Confidentiality Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall also include information relating to the Purchase received by the PPS Agent after the Closing or relating to the period after the Closing.

(b) Neither the Company nor the Sellers shall issue any press release or other public communications relating to the terms of this Agreement or the Purchase without the prior written approval of Purchaser, unless required by Applicable Law (in which event a satisfactory opinion of counsel to that effect shall be first delivered to Purchase prior to any such disclosure) and except as reasonably necessary for the Company to obtain the consents and approvals of third parties to the extent contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement, Purchaser may make such public communications regarding this Agreement or the Purchase as Purchaser may determine is reasonably appropriate.

6.2 Reasonable Best Efforts. Each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable best efforts, and to cooperate with each other party hereto, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, appropriate or desirable in accordance with Applicable Law to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Purchase, including to execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or reasonably desirable for effecting completely the consummation of the Purchase. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and the Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall each furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of this Agreement, “reasonable best efforts” of a party hereto means commercially reasonable efforts of such party hereto without the payment or incurrence of any material expense that is not otherwise paid or reimbursed by any other party hereto.

6.3 PPS Distribution.

(a) PPS shall not (i) distribute any portion of the Purchase Consideration to any PPS Stockholder or (ii) liquidate or dissolve, until each of the PPS Stockholders delivers to Purchaser a duly completed and executed PPS Stockholder Stock Transfer Agreement, pursuant to which such PPS Stockholder shall agree, among other things, to assume (on a several and not joint basis in proportion to such PPS Stockholder’s interest in PPS) all of PPS’s indemnification obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (subject to Section 7.3(b), up to the amount of Purchase Consideration actually received by such PPS Stockholder), and to otherwise be bound to the terms of this Agreement (including the indemnification obligations of PPS as set forth in Article VII); provided that all limitations with respect to indemnification by PPS, including those limitation set forth in Section 7.3, shall apply to each PPS Stockholder only as adjusted to reflect such PPS Stockholder’s respective percentage ownership of PPS.

(b) Upon the distribution by PPS of any shares of Purchaser Stock to any PPS Stockholder, PPS shall deliver to Purchaser the certificate representing such shares and Purchaser shall cancel such certificate and deliver to such PPS Stockholder a new certificate evidencing the applicable number of shares of Purchaser Stock.

(c) Following the Closing, prior to any distribution by PPS of any shares of Purchaser Stock to any PPS Stockholder, PPS or such PPS Stockholder shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate, executed by such PPS Stockholder, to the effect that the representations and warranties of such PPS Stockholder in such PPS Stockholder’s Stock Transfer Agreement are true and correct as of immediately prior to such distribution.

6.5 Certain Employment Matters. Subject to Purchaser’s policies and procedures, including background checks and confirmation of immigration status of each such employee, Purchaser shall determine following the Closing whether to continue the employment of the Company’s employees. Each such employee (other than the Founders) who accepts an offer of employment with Purchaser, executes and delivers the Employment Offer Documents and any other required documents and actually transfers to employment with Purchaser or continues to be employed by the Company following the Closing is hereafter referred to as a “Continuing Employee.” The Continuing Employees who become employed by Purchaser will be employed by Purchaser on an at-will basis (terminable with or without cause and with or without notice) and otherwise on terms of employment determined by Purchaser. Continuing Employees who become employed by Purchaser shall receive standard employee benefits offered by Purchaser to its employees of comparable status. Purchaser will provide credit for each Continuing Employee’s length of service with the Company under each Purchaser benefit plan, except that such prior service credit will not be required (i) to the extent that it results in a duplication of benefits or (ii) with respect to the vesting of awards under Purchaser’s equity or incentive compensation plans, if any. Purchaser shall not be obligated to retain any employee of the Company, or provide any such employee with any particular benefits. This Section 6.5(a) shall not operate to (a) duplicate any benefit provided to any Continuing Employee or to fund any such benefit, (b) be construed to mean the employment of the Continuing Employees is not terminable by Purchaser at will at any time, with or without cause, for any reason or no reason (other than as may be set forth in an employment agreement with the Continuing Employee) or (c) amend any plan subject to ERISA or create any third party rights of causes of action for any person (including any employee representative, union, or labor organization).

(a) Cooperation; Maintenance of Records. Each of Purchaser, the Sellers, the PPS Stockholders the Company and the PPS Agent shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any of the others, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any Proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon request therefor) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Purchaser, the Sellers, the Company and the PPS Agent agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority.

Purchaser shall not at any time after the Closing amend any income Tax Return of the Company for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Sellers.

(b) Purchase Price Allocation. As soon as practicable after the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the PPS Agent a statement (the “Allocation Statement”), which shall allocate the total Purchase Consideration among the assets of the Company in accordance with the allocation requirements of Section 1060 of the Code. If within 15 Business Days after the delivery of the Allocation Statement PPS Agent notifies Purchaser that PPS Agent objects to the allocation set forth in the Allocation

Statement, Purchaser and the PPS Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within 20 days. In the event that Purchaser and the PPS Agent are unable to resolve such dispute within such 20-day period, Purchaser and the PPS Agent shall jointly retain a nationally recognized accounting firm to resolve the disputed items. Upon resolution of the disputed items, the allocation reflected on the Allocation Statement shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the accounting firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser and the Sellers. For all Tax purposes, Purchaser and the Sellers agree to report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Allocation Statement, and will not take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return, in any audit or refund claim, in any litigation or otherwise, unless required to do so by a Tax Authority. Purchaser and the Sellers shall each be responsible for the preparation of their own Section 1060 statements and forms in accordance with applicable Tax laws, and each shall execute and deliver to each other such statements and forms as are reasonably requested by the other parties hereto.

(i) The PPS Agent shall be responsible for preparing and filing the Company’s income Tax Returns covering the period January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Income Tax Returns”). Prior to the filing of said 2013 Tax Returns, the PPS Agent shall provide Purchaser with a copy of the 2013 Income Tax Returns, including all supporting documentation, with no less than 60 days to review and provide comments thereto. The PPS Agent shall incorporate any reasonable comments provided by Purchaser prior to filing the applicable 2013 Income Tax Returns. If Purchaser fails to provide comments to the 2013 Income Tax Returns within such 60-day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have no comments to the applicable 2013 Tax Income Returns.

(ii) The PPS Agent shall be responsible for preparing and filing the Company’s income Tax Returns for the period from January 1, 2014 through the Closing Date (the “Closing Tax Returns”). Prior to the filing of said Closing Tax Returns, the PPS Agent shall provide Purchaser with a copy of the Closing Tax Returns, including all supporting documentation, with no less than 60 days to review and provide comments thereto. The Company shall incorporate any reasonable comments provided by Purchaser prior to filing the applicable Closing Tax Returns.

(iii) As provided in Schedule 2.10 (c), the PPS Agent will cause the Company to amend its 2012 Tax Returns covering the period January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Amended Tax Returns”). Prior to the filing of said 2012 Amended Tax Returns, the PPS Agent shall provide Purchaser with a copy of the 2012 Amended Tax Returns, including all supporting documentation, with no less than 60 days to review and provide comments thereto. The Company shall incorporate any reasonable comments provided by Purchaser prior to filing the applicable 2012 Amended Tax Returns. If Purchaser fails to provide comments to the 2012 Amended Tax Returns within such 60-day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have no comments to the applicable 2012 Amended Tax Returns.

6.7 Accountant Consent. Each of PPS, NBT and the PPS Agent agrees to use its reasonable best efforts, and to cooperate with Purchaser, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, appropriate or desirable to (1) obtain, when and as necessary or desirable, consents from the Company’s current and former auditors to use the reports of such auditors relating to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in any filing with the SEC on or after the Closing Date and (2) cause the Company’s current and former auditors to deliver, when and as requested by Purchaser,

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Purchaser) the individual items of such Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Damages are related.

(b) No delay in providing such Claim Certificate within the Claims Period shall affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the PPS Agent or NBT, as applicable, is materially prejudiced thereby. Any Claim Certificate may be updated and amended from time to time by Purchaser delivering an updated or amended Claim Certificate, so long as the delivery of the original Claim Certificate is made within the applicable Claims Period and only in the event that such Claim Certificate, as so updated or amended, continues to satisfy the requirements of clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 7.5(a); provided that Purchaser shall be obligated to update, on a reasonably prompt basis and in no event longer than six months from the date of submission or the last update, any delivered Claim Certificate to the extent that Purchaser in good faith reasonably believes that the amount of Indemnifiable Damages stated therein shall have ceased to be accurate in all material respects.

7.6 Resolution of Objections to Claims.

(a) If the PPS Agent or NBT, as applicable, does not contest, by written notice to Purchaser, any claim or claims by Purchaser made in any Claim Certificate within the 45-day period following receipt of the Claim Certificate, then the Escrow Agent shall, within three Business Days of Purchaser’s written certification, distribute to Purchaser an amount of cash and/or number of shares of Purchaser Stock (the value thereof being based on the Purchaser Stock Price) from the PPS Indemnity Escrow Fund or an amount of cash from the NBT Indemnity Escrow Fund, as applicable, having a total value equal to the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages corresponding to such claim or claims as set forth in such Claim Certificate.

(b) If the PPS Agent or NBT, as applicable, objects in writing to any claim or claims by Purchaser made in any Claim Certificate within the 45-day period set forth in Section 7.6(a), Purchaser and the PPS Agent or NBT, as applicable, shall attempt in good faith for 45 days after Purchaser’s receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection. If Purchaser and the PPS Agent or NBT, as applicable, shall so agree, a joint written instruction setting forth such agreement shall be prepared, signed by Purchaser and the PPS Agent or NBT, as applicable, and delivered to the Escrow Agent. Upon receipt of such instruction, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to Purchaser an amount of cash and/or a number of shares of Purchaser Stock (the value thereof being based on the Purchaser Stock Price) from the PPS Indemnity Escrow Fund or cash from the NBT Indemnity Escrow Fund, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of such joint written instruction.

(c) If no such agreement can be reached during the 45-day period for good faith negotiation set forth in Section 7.6(b), but in any event upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either, on the one hand, Purchaser or, on the other hand, the PPS Agent or NBT, as applicable, may commence Dispute Resolution in accordance with Section 8.13. The decision of the arbitrator in such Dispute Resolution as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Certificate shall be non-appealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto and the PPS Stockholders, and Purchaser shall be entitled to instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute to Purchaser an amount of cash and/or number of shares of Purchaser Stock (the value thereof being based on the Purchaser Stock Price) from the PPS Indemnity Escrow Fund or cash from the NBT Indemnity Escrow Fund, as applicable, in accordance therewith.

Purchaser, the Company and the Indemnified Persons are hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the PPS Agent.

(d) The PPS Agent shall designate one or more Persons reasonably acceptable to Purchaser to serve as successor PPS Agents in the event of his resignation, death, incapacity or bankruptcy, which Person or Persons shall in such event succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the PPS Agent under this Agreement. Each successor PPS Agent shall designate one or more Persons reasonably acceptable to Purchaser to serve as successor PPS Agents in the event of such successor PPS Agent’s resignation, death, incapacity, bankruptcy or dissolution.

7.8 Third-Party Claims. In the event Purchaser becomes aware of a claim by a non-Affiliate third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that Purchaser in good faith believes may result in a claim for Indemnifiable Damages by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, Purchaser shall have the right in its

sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle or resolve, any such Third-Party Claim (and the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with such defense, settlement or resolution (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Indemnifiable Damages for which Purchaser shall be entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to a claim made hereunder, and such costs and expenses shall constitute Indemnifiable Damages subject to indemnification under Section 7.2 regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that such Third-Party Claim arose out of, resulted from or was in connection with a matter listed in Section 7.2; provided that (i) such costs and expenses shall be so included with respect to a Third-Party Claim only to the extent that an Indemnified Person would be entitled to recover for such costs and expenses as Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with a matter listed in Section 7.2 assuming that such Third-Party Claim were ultimately determined in favor of the third party making such Third-Party Claim and (ii) if any Third-Party Claim is determined to have asserted both claims that arose out of, resulted from or were in connection with a matter listed in Section 7.2 and claims that did not, such Indemnifiable Damages shall include only the amount of reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with defense, settlement or resolution of such Third-Party Claim as may be apportioned to claims that substantially arose out of, resulted from or were in connection with a matter listed in Section 7.2). Purchaser shall promptly provide to one representative designated by the PPS Agent (on behalf of PPS and the PPS Stockholders) and one representative designated by NBT (such Seller’s “Litigation Representative”) copies of all pleadings, notices, demands and communications with respect to such Third-Party Claim. After execution of a joint defense/common interest agreement, each Seller’s Litigation Representative shall have reasonable access to counsel defending such matter to obtain an assessment of the defense of such matter, subject to execution by such Seller’s Litigation Representative of Purchaser’s (and, if required, such third party’s) reasonable non-disclosure agreement to the extent that such materials contain confidential or propriety information; provided that, if the provision of such pleadings, notices, demands and/or communications would affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Person, such Seller’s Litigation Representative shall enter into a joint defense/common interest agreement with Purchaser solely to the extent necessary to preserve such privilege. Purchaser shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine and conduct the defense of, and to settle or resolve, any Third-Party Claim; provided that each Seller’s Litigation Representative shall be permitted to consult (in a non-binding fashion) with Purchaser on any dispositive motions related to such defense or any such settlement. Any costs and expenses of a Seller’s Litigation Representative shall be borne by such Seller. Unless otherwise consented to in writing in advance by Purchaser in its sole discretion, the PPS Agent or NBT, as applicable, and their Affiliates may not participate in any way not expressly provided in this Section 7.8 in any Third-Party Claim. Except with the consent of the PPS Agent or NBT, as applicable, which consent shall be deemed to have been given unless the PPS Agent or NBT, as applicable, shall have objected within 15 days after a written request for such consent by Purchaser, no settlement or resolution by Purchaser of any such Third-Party Claim shall be determinative of the existence of or amount of Indemnifiable Damages relating to such matter. In the event that the PPS Agent or NBT, as applicable, has consented to any such settlement or resolution, neither the PPS Agent nor NBT shall have any power or authority to object under Section 7.6 or any other provision of this Article VII to the amount of any claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person against the PPS Indemnity Escrow Fund or the NBT Indemnity Escrow Fund, as applicable, for indemnity with respect to such settlement or resolution.

7.9 Third-Party Claims Regarding NBT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event NBT is a named defendant in any legal or regulatory proceeding, it will retain the right to conduct its own defense independent of Purchaser or any other Indemnified Person. Furthermore, in the event that any Third-Party Claim either (i) includes a demand for, and could reasonably foreseeably result in, Indemnifiable Damages payable by or otherwise attributed to NBT in excess of the amount of the NBT Indemnity Escrow Fund or (ii) includes an allegation that NBT was in violation of law or regulation, NBT and Purchaser shall enter into a mutually agreeable joint defense/common interest

agreement (which will address conflicts of interest, separate representation and other relevant matters), and NBT and Purchaser shall jointly defend and cooperate in the defense, settlement and/or resolution of such matters, subject to the terms of such agreement, to the extent reasonably required to protect NBT’s and Purchaser’s respective interests; provided that Purchaser shall be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to, and subject to any limitations set forth in, this Article VII.

7.10 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Purchaser, the PPS Agent and the Sellers agree to treat (and cause their respective Affiliates to treat) any payment received by the Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Article VII as adjustments to the Purchase Consideration for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

8.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made herein to Articles, Sections, subsections, Schedules or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article, Section or subsection of, or a Schedule or an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (i) words of any gender include each other gender and neutral forms of such words, (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively, (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, (iv) references to clauses without a cross-reference to a Section or subsection are references to clauses within the same Section or, if more specific, subsection, (v) references to any person include the successors and permitted assigns of that person, (vi) references from or through any date shall mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively, (vii) the phrases “provide to” and “deliver to” and phrases of similar import mean that a true, correct and complete paper or electronic copy of the information or material referred to has been delivered to the party to whom such information or material is to be provided and (viii) the phrase “made available to” and phrases of similar import means, with respect to any information, document or other material of Purchaser or the Company, that such information, document or material was made available for review by the Company or Purchaser, respectively, and its Representatives in the virtual data room established by Purchaser or the Company, respectively, in connection with this Agreement no later than on the Business Day immediately preceding the Agreement Date or actually delivered (whether by physical or electronic delivery) to the Company or Purchaser, respectively, or its Representatives no later than on the Business Day immediately preceding the Agreement Date.

Without limiting the generality or effect of the preceding sentence, no failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision herein.

8.6 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto; it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. The delivery by facsimile or by electronic delivery in PDF format of this Agreement with all executed signature pages (in counterparts or otherwise) shall be sufficient to bind the parties hereto to the terms and conditions set forth herein. All of the counterparts will together constitute one and the same instrument and each counterpart will constitute an original of this Agreement.

8.7 Entire Agreement; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including all the exhibits attached hereto, the Schedules, including the Company Disclosure Schedule, (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in accordance with its terms and (ii) are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder (except that Article VII is intended to benefit the Indemnified Persons). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall this Section 8.7 be read to terminate or limit in any manner any rights conferred upon a PPS Stockholder pursuant to the terms of a Stock Transfer Agreement executed by such PPS Stockholder.

8.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except (i) pursuant to a Stock Transfer Agreement and (ii) that Purchaser may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser without the prior consent of any other party hereto; provided that, notwithstanding any such assignment, Purchaser shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.8, NBT may assign the right to receive the shares of Purchaser Stock issuable to NBT pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(ii)(B) to NBT Financial Services, Inc. at or after the Closing, in which event (i) NBT shall cause such assignee to execute and deliver such documents required to be executed and delivered by NBT pursuant to Section 1.2(b) in connection with the issuance of such shares of Purchaser Stock to NBT and (ii) references herein to NBT with respect to such shares of Purchaser Stock shall be deemed also to be references to such assignee, as applicable; provided that, notwithstanding any such assignment, NBT shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the two immediately preceding sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

8.9 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be interpreted so as reasonably necessary to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

8.10 Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties hereto would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the parties hereto hereby waive the requirement of any posting of a bond in connection with the remedies described herein. Subject to Section 8.13, if any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision hereof is brought by any party hereto against any other party hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements, in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled at law or in equity.

8.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PURCHASE OR THE AGREEMENTS OR ACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THOSE OF PURCHASER, THE COMPANY, THE SELLERS OR THE PPS AGENT IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

8.12 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction This Agreement, all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and all obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law that would refer a matter to a different jurisdiction. Subject to Section 8.13, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court shall be unavailable, any other court of the State of Delaware or any Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware) solely in respect of the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the enforcement hereof or thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware State or Federal court. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 8.11 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. With respect to any particular action, suit or proceeding, venue shall lie solely in New Castle County, Delaware.

8.13 Disputed Matters. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute, claim or controversy (in law or in equity) arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to

herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including all the exhibits attached hereto, the Schedules, including the Company Disclosure Schedule) or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate, (collectively, a “Dispute”) shall be resolved as follows (“Dispute Resolution”): (i) any Dispute shall first be submitted to mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association, which shall be concluded within 60 days following receipt of a written demand for mediation by any party hereto, and (ii) if mediation is unsuccessful, such Dispute shall be determined by arbitration (“Arbitration”) in Chicago, Illinois, before a panel of three qualified arbitrators having reasonable experience in transactions of the type provided for in this Agreement to be administered by the American Arbitration Association and employing its commercial arbitration rules then in effect. Any agreement of the applicable parties obtained from any such mediation or any award or decision obtained from any such Arbitration proceeding shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be final and binding on the parties hereto and the PPS Stockholders, shall be un-appealable and judgment upon any award thus obtained may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Proceeding based upon any claim arising out of, related to or in connection with this Agreement (including the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including all the exhibits attached hereto, the Schedules, including the Company Disclosure Schedule) shall be initiated in any court by any party hereto except a Proceeding (i) to obtain a preliminary injunction or other equitable relief pending the outcome of a mediation or arbitration proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 8.13, (ii) to compel mediation and/or arbitration or (iii) to enforce an agreement of the applicable parties obtained in a mediation or a decision or award obtained in an Arbitration.
