The holders of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company (the “Company Stock”) are collectively referred to herein as the “Company Stockholders”.

WHEREAS, the respective board of directors of Parent and Merger Sub has unanimously, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (a) determined that this Agreement is advisable, (b) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of Merger Sub and its sole stockholder, (c) approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger and (d) determined to recommend that the sole stockholder of Merger Sub adopt this Agreement and approve each of the transactions contemplated herein, including the Merger;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, has executed and delivered to the Company an action by written consent evidencing the adoption of this Agreement by Parent and the approval by Parent of the transactions contemplated herein, including the Merger;

WHEREAS, within two (2) hours of execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Company shall deliver to Parent and Merger Sub a written consent and agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Stockholder Written Consent and Agreement”) signed by Company Stockholders holding at least 92% of the issued and outstanding Company Common Stock to adopt this Agreement and approve each of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, which signed Stockholder Written Consent and Agreement will constitute the Requisite Stockholder Approval in accordance with the Charter, the Bylaws and the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”); and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, (a) certain executive officers and employees of the Company identified on Section 1 of the Disclosure Schedule under the heading “Key Employees” (the “Key Employees”) have entered into an employment agreement or a consulting agreement, as applicable (collectively, the “Key Employee Agreements”), and (b) the individuals identified on Section 1 of the Disclosure Schedule under the heading “Major Securityholders” have entered into a noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreement (collectively, the “Noncompetition Agreements”), the effectiveness of which are contingent upon the consummation of the Merger.

The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as agreed by the parties hereto and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the time at which the Merger becomes effective is herein referred to as the “Effective Time”).

2.4 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, including Section 259 of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and all and every other interest of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

2.5 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws; Corporate Records.

(a) Certificate of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, by virtue of filing the Certificate of Merger, the Charter shall be amended and restated in its entirety to be identical to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and as provided in such Certificate of Incorporation, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation as stated in such Certificate of Incorporation shall be “Butler Group Holdings, Inc.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.5(a) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.6.

(b) Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Company shall be amended and restated in their entirety to be identical to the Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and such Bylaws, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation on the face of such Bylaws shall be “Butler Group Holdings, Inc.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.5(b) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.6.

The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

2.7 Appointment of Stockholder Representative; Actions Binding on Company Securityholders. Each Company Securityholder that has executed and delivered the Stockholder Written Consent and Agreement or participated in the Merger and received the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Merger has, or shall have, irrevocably (i) constituted and appointed, effective as of the Effective Time, Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (referred to herein, together with its permitted successors, the “Stockholder Representative”), as its true and lawful agent, exclusive proxy and attorney-in-fact for all purposes under this Agreement, including the authority to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement on its

behalf as the Stockholder Representative and exercise all or any of the powers, authority and discretion conferred on the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement (including SECTION 16), the Escrow Agreement or any other agreements ancillary hereto and (ii) irrevocably agreed to, and be bound by and comply with, all of the obligations of the Company Securityholders set forth herein (including SECTION 16) and in the Escrow Agreement. All actions taken by the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other agreements ancillary hereto shall be binding upon each such Company Securityholder and such Company Securityholder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Company Securityholder, and all defenses which may be available to such Company Securityholders to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Stockholder Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement are waived. The Stockholder Representative agrees to act as, and to undertake the duties and responsibilities of, such exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact. The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Stockholder Representative hereunder: (x) are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable and shall survive the dissolution, death or incapacity of each of such Company Securityholders, subject to the following sentence, and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (y) shall survive the delivery of any assignment by any such Company Securityholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Amount. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and shall survive the dissolution, death or incapacity of each of such Company Securityholders, subject to the following sentence. Such agency may be changed by such Company Securityholders upon the written approval of the holders of a majority in interest of the undistributed portions of the Escrow Amount from time to time; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may not be removed unless Company Securityholders who would receive a majority in interest of the undistributed portions of the Escrow Amount agree in writing to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent and provide notice of the same to Parent and the Escrow Agent.

SECTION 3
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES; COMPANY STOCK OPTIONS

3.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any Company Securityholder:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become, and shall represent, one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding share of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares and shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(c)) shall be converted into the right to receive the amounts of Estimated Aggregate Closing Consideration described on the Securityholder Schedule, and the right to receive any additional amounts payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4, Section 3.5, Section 3.6, Section 14.3 and Section 15.5. From and after the Effective Time, each such share of Company Common Stock so converted shall no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive such holder’s share of the Estimated Aggregate Closing Consideration as set forth

on the Securityholder Schedule to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such certificates in accordance with Section 3.7, without interest, and the right to receive any additional amounts payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4, Section 3.5, Section 3.6, Section 14.3 and Section 15.5.

(c) Treasury Stock. Each share of Company Stock owned by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to exist and be canceled without any conversion thereof, and no payment or distribution of any consideration shall be made with respect thereto.

3.2 Dissenting Holders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time eligible under the DGCL to exercise appraisal or dissenters’ rights and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of, or provided written consent to, the Agreement and the Merger and who has exercised and perfected appraisal or dissenters’ rights for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal or dissenters’ rights (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the consideration for Company Stock set forth in Section 3.1(b) and the holder or holders of such shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holder or holders in Section 262 of the DGCL.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal and dissenters’ rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares in accordance with Section 3.7, the consideration for such shares set forth in Section 3.1(b), without interest.

(c) The Company shall (i) comply with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL, (ii) give Parent prompt notice of any written demand received by the Company pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, and of withdrawals of such demands, and provide copies of any documents or instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (iii) give Parent the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer with respect to any such demand unless Parent shall have consented in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such payment or settlement offer.

3.3 Company Options; Warrants. Each In-the-Money Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically vested, to the extent not already vested, and be cancelled and extinguished at the Effective Time and, in full satisfaction of the rights of such Optionholder with respect to such In-the-Money Option, shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the Per Share Closing Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock subject to such In-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Effective Time less the exercise price of the applicable Company Option as set forth on the final Securityholder Schedule (the “Per Share Option Consideration”) and the right to receive any additional amounts payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4, Section 3.5, Section 3.6, Section 14.3 and Section 15.5. Other than the Per Share Option Consideration payable to the Optionholders set forth on Section 3.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, a portion of which shall be payable in the form of Parent Common Stock, as set forth on the Securityholder Schedule, the Per Share Option Consideration shall be payable entirely in cash, including cash in lieu of any Parent Common Stock.

(a) Each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and is an Out-of-the-Money Option shall automatically be canceled and extinguished, no longer be outstanding and cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock, without any payment of any consideration therefor.

(b) The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all actions as are reasonably necessary, in its sole discretion, in order to effectuate the actions contemplated by Section 3.3(a) and to ensure that no holder of Company Options shall have any rights from and after the Effective Time with respect to any Company Options except as expressly provided in Section 3.3(a) (or to the extent otherwise included as Company Transaction Expenses); provided that such actions shall expressly be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger and each of the other transactions contemplated hereby and shall be of no force or effect if this Agreement is terminated.

(c) Following the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the warrants set forth on Section 3.3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule shall remain outstanding in accordance with its terms.

3.4 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Closing Certificate; Securityholder Schedule.

(i) Estimated Closing Certificate. The Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (A) a certificate (the “Estimated Closing Certificate”) including a written statement setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate, with reasonable supporting materials, of the Working Capital, the Company Cash, the Company Debt and the Company Transaction Expenses (including the Change in Control Payments included as part of the Company Transaction Expenses), and, using such amounts, the Company’s reasonable, good faith estimate of the Aggregate Closing Consideration (the “Estimated Aggregate Closing Consideration”) and (B) the Securityholder Schedule.

(ii) Preparation. The Company shall prepare its calculation of Working Capital, on the basis of the same accounting principles, policies, methods and procedures of the Acquired Companies, consistently applied, as those used on the Most Recent Balance Sheet, and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, in accordance with GAAP. The Company shall consider any comments that Parent or its Representatives have on the Estimated Closing Certificate and the Securityholder Schedule in good faith; provided, that the Company’s good faith determination of the Estimated Aggregate Closing Consideration and the underlying amounts set forth in the final Estimated Closing Certificate shall be final and binding for purposes of calculating the amounts set forth on the Securityholder Schedule to be paid in connection with the Closing; provided, further, that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that none of Parent or its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) shall have liability to any Company Securityholder to the extent such liability arises solely from the calculation by the Company of any amounts set forth on the Securityholder Schedule.

(b) Preparation of Closing Certificate. As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event more than forty-five (45) calendar days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Company a certificate (the “Closing Certificate”) setting forth its calculation of the Working Capital, the Company Cash, the Company Debt and the Company Transaction Expenses, and, using such amounts, Parent’s calculation of the Aggregate Closing Consideration. The Closing Certificate shall identify all differences between the computed Aggregate Closing Consideration based on the proposed Closing Certificate and the Estimated Aggregate Closing Consideration based on the Estimated Closing

Certificate. Parent shall prepare its calculation of Working Capital, on the basis of the same accounting principles, policies, methods and procedures of the Acquired Companies, consistently applied, as those used on the Most Recent Balance Sheet, and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, in accordance with GAAP. If Parent does not timely deliver the Closing Certificate within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, at the election of the Stockholder Representative in its sole discretion, the Estimated Closing Certificate shall be deemed to be the Closing Certificate for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Estimated Closing Certificate shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties.

(i) Following receipt of the proposed Closing Certificate, the Stockholder Representative shall have a period of thirty (30) calendar days (the “First Review Period”) to review the proposed Closing Certificate. During the First Review Period (and during any time up through the Accountant’s Determination), the Stockholder Representative and its accountants, and their respective Representatives, shall be entitled to review the proposed Closing Certificate prepared by Parent and shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to the personnel, Representatives, books and records, working papers, schedules and calculations of Parent used in the preparation of or related to the Closing Certificate. At or prior to the end of the First Review Period, the Stockholder Representative will either (A) accept the Closing Certificate in its entirety, in which case the Aggregate Closing Consideration will be equal to the Aggregate Closing Consideration as set forth in the Closing Certificate or (B) deliver to Parent a written notice (an “Objection Notice”) containing a written explanation of those items that the Stockholder Representative disputes.

(ii) In the event the Stockholder Representative delivers an Objection Notice to Parent within the First Review Period, within a further period of fifteen (15) calendar days after the end of the First Review Period (the “Resolution Period”), the parties and, if desired, their respective Representatives, will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed items and reach a written agreement with respect thereto (a “Settlement Agreement”). In the event the parties do not execute and deliver a Settlement Agreement before the expiration of the Resolution Period, or execute and deliver a Settlement Agreement only in relation to certain, but not all, disputed items, before the expiration of the Resolution Period, the unresolved disputed items will be referred for final binding resolution to KPMG LLP or such other reputable independent accounting firm selected by the mutual agreement of Parent and the Stockholder Representative (the “Accounting Firm”), which Accounting Firm (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) shall be engaged by Parent and the Stockholder Representative pursuant to a standard engagement letter, which shall be executed by the Accounting Firm, Parent and the Stockholder Representative. If KPMG LLP is not available and Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to agree upon the selection of the Accounting Firm, the Accounting Firm shall be chosen by the American Arbitration Association.

(iii) The disputed items referred to the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(ii) above and the resulting revised Closing Certificate will be as determined by the Accounting Firm. Such determination (the “Accountants’ Determination”) shall be (A) in writing, (B) furnished to the Stockholder Representative and Parent as soon as practicable after the items in dispute have been referred to the Accounting Firm, which the parties shall request shall not be later than thirty (30) calendar days thereafter, (C) made in a manner that is consistent with the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement and (D) non-appealable and incontestable by any Person, and not subject to collateral attack for any reason, other than manifest error or fraud. The Accounting Firm shall address only those items in dispute and may not assign a value greater than the greatest value claimed by Parent or the Stockholder Representative for such item or smaller than the smallest value claimed by Parent or the Stockholder Representative for such item. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent nor the Stockholder Representative

shall have any ex parte communications with the Accounting Firm relating to this Section 3.4 or this Agreement, and the Accounting Firm shall not conduct an independent investigation in respect of its determination.

(iv) If the Accounting Firm resolves all disputes presented to it entirely in the manner proposed by Parent or the Stockholder Representative, as the case may be, the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm relating to the resolution of such dispute shall be paid by the other party. In all other events, the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be shared by the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders), on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accountants’ Determination bears to the aggregate amount of all items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of the Stockholder Representative, 60% of the Accounting Firm’s costs would be borne by Parent and 40% of the costs would be borne by the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders). Any amounts payable to the Accounting Firm as a result of indemnification claims by the Accounting Firm shall be shared one half by the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders) and one half by Parent.

(d) Payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount.

(i) If the Aggregate Closing Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.4 is less than the Estimated Aggregate Closing Consideration, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall, within three (3) Business Days after the final determination of the Aggregate Closing Consideration, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrow Fund, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Parent, an amount in cash equal to the lesser of such shortfall and the Escrow Fund. In no event shall any amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.4(d)(i) exceed the Escrow Fund.

(ii) If the Aggregate Closing Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.4 exceeds the Estimated Aggregate Closing Consideration, Parent shall, within three (3) Business Days after the final determination of the Aggregate Closing Consideration, deposit an amount in cash equal to the amount of such excess with (1) the Payments Administrator for distribution by the Payments Administrator to each Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of such excess, and (2) the Surviving Corporation for distribution by the Surviving Corporation to each Optionholder, such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of such excess, and upon payment by Parent (or its designee) to the Payments Administrator and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 3.4(d)(ii), Parent shall not have any further obligations in respect of this Section 3.4(d)(ii). In no event shall any amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.4(d)(ii) exceed an amount equal to the Escrow Amount.

(iii) Immediately following payment of any amounts determined to be owed pursuant to Section 3.4(d)(i) or Section 3.4(d)(ii), the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release and promptly disburse from the Escrow Fund an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Escrow Fund over (y) $6,000,000, and to deposit such excess with (1) the Payments Administrator for distribution by the Payments Administrator to each Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of such excess, and (2) the Surviving Corporation for distribution by the Surviving Corporation to each Optionholder, such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of such excess.

(iv) Any adjustment required by this Section 3.4 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Aggregate Closing Consideration for United States federal income (and applicable state and local) Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law.

3.5 Escrow. At the Closing, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered cash in an amount equal to the Escrow Amount to Sun Trust Bank, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to the provisions of the escrow agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto, subject to any amendments to such form agreed to by the Escrow Agent, Parent and the Stockholder Representative (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Agreement shall be entered into at the Effective Time, by and among Parent, the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Company Securityholders, and the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Fund (or any portion thereof) shall be distributed to the Company Securityholders at the times, and upon the terms and conditions, set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

3.6 Stockholder Representative Fund. At the Closing, cash in an amount equal to the Stockholder Representative Fund shall be (A) delivered by Parent with respect to each Company Stockholder, to the Stockholder Representative (in which case such Company Stockholder shall be deemed to have received payment of its Pro Rata Share of the Stockholder Representative Fund at the Closing and to have caused such portion to be deposited with the Stockholder Representative), and (B) deemed to have been delivered by Parent with respect to each Optionholder, to the Surviving Corporation for distribution by the Surviving Corporation through its normal payroll procedures to the Stockholder Representative (in which case such Optionholder shall be deemed to have received payment of its Pro Rata Share of the Stockholder Representative Fund at the Closing and to have caused such portion to be deposited with the Stockholder Representative, with the applicable withholding Taxes to be satisfied from amounts otherwise to be paid to such Optionholder under this Agreement). The Stockholder Representative Fund shall be used by the Stockholder Representative solely for payment of out-of-pocket expenses, in each instance incurred by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the performance of the Stockholder Representative’s duties and obligations hereunder and pursuant to the Escrow Agreement or any other agreements ancillary hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall (i) any Parent Indemnified Party have any rights in or to the Stockholder Representative Fund or (ii) the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation have any obligation or incur any expense with respect to the Stockholder Representative Fund or pay or otherwise be liable for any amounts owed to or incurred by the Stockholder Representative. None of Parent, Merger Sub or Surviving Corporation shall have any responsibility or liability for the manner in which the Stockholder Representative uses the amount reserved for the Stockholder Representative Fund. The Stockholder Representative Fund, if any, shall be distributed by the Stockholder Representative to the Company Securityholders at the Stockholder Representative’s sole discretion by depositing with (1) the Payments Administrator for distribution by the Payments Administrator to each Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of such amount, and (2) the Surviving Corporation for distribution by the Surviving Corporation to each Optionholder, such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of such amount. Parent or Merger Sub shall have no obligation with respect to the distribution of any remaining amount of the Stockholder Representative Fund. The Company Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Stockholder Representative Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Stockholder Representative Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

3.7 Closing Payments and Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Closing Payments. At the Closing, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered by wire transfer of immediately available funds:

(i) to Acquiom Financial LLC, as payments administrator (the “Payments Administrator”) for the benefit of the Company Stockholders, cash in an amount equal to the cash portion of the Estimated Aggregate Closing Consideration (less (1) the aggregate Per Share Option Consideration, and (2) the aggregate unpaid principal and accrued interest under all then-outstanding loans made by the Acquired Companies to Company Stockholders, without duplication to the extent such amounts are taken into account in Section 3.7(a)(ii)), plus any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.7(i);

(ii) to the Surviving Corporation, without duplication of amounts delivered pursuant to clause (i) above, (A) for the benefit of the Optionholders, an amount equal to the aggregate Per Share Option Consideration to be paid by the Surviving Corporation in accordance with Section 3.3 to holders of In-the-Money Options (less the aggregate unpaid principal and accrued interest under all then-outstanding loans made by the Acquired Companies to Optionholders, without duplication to the extent such amounts are taken into account in Section 3.7(a)(i)) and (B) the aggregate amount of the Change in Control Payments set forth in the Estimated Closing Certificate other than amounts payable under the CIC Plan (it being understood that Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation no later than the following Business Day to pay through payroll such payments to Optionholders and the Change in Control Payments to the people owed such payments in accordance with the Securityholder Schedule and the Estimated Closing Certificate);

(iii) to the Escrow Agent, an amount equal to the Escrow Amount;

(iv) to the Stockholder Representative, an amount equal to the Stockholder Representative Fund;

(v) to the holders of any Company Debt outstanding as of the Closing under the Existing Credit Agreements, the aggregate amount of such Company Debt as set forth in, and to the account(s) designated in, customary payoff letters provided by the Company to Parent prior to the Closing Date, which letters shall (A) indicate the amount required to discharge such relevant portion of the Company Debt in full and terminate all lines of credit thereunder at the Closing (the “Payoff Amount”) and (B) provide for the agreement of such holders to release and terminate all applicable Liens and guarantees related to the assets and properties of the Acquired Companies upon receipt of the applicable Payoff Amount (the “Payoff Letters”); provided, that the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that a portion of the Company Debt to be paid by Parent pursuant to this Section 3.7(a)(v), in an amount equal to the then outstanding balance of the Intercompany Notes, shall be paid by taking the following steps: (1) first, Parent will transfer funds to the Company in an amount equal to the then outstanding balance of the Intercompany Notes, (2) second, the Company will transfer such funds to ABILITY Network Inc. in full satisfaction of the Intercompany Notes, as evidenced by a payoff letter (the “Intercompany Notes Payoff Letter”) and (3) finally, ABILITY Network Inc. will transfer such funds to the holders of Company Debt in partial payment of such Company Debt; and

(vi) to the payees thereof, the Company Transaction Expenses (other than the Change in Control Payments and the Change in Control Payment Employer Tax Obligations) as set forth on the Estimated Closing Certificate, in each case, as directed in writing by the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Delivery of Certificates for Parent Common Stock; Private Placement.

(i) Parent intends to issue shares of Parent Common Stock hereunder in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and in reliance on

exemptions from the registration or qualification requirements of state securities or “blue sky” laws. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other document to the contrary, Parent shall not be required to issue any shares of Parent Common Stock to any Company Securityholder, and no Company Securityholder shall be entitled to receive any shares of Parent Common Stock, if Parent shall not have received a completed Accredited Investor Questionnaire in respect of such Company Securityholder confirming that such Company Securityholder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, or Parent shall not otherwise be satisfied, in its reasonable discretion, that such Company Securityholder is an “accredited investor” as so defined or that the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock to such Company Securityholder is otherwise lawful. If Parent has not received a completed Accredited Investor Questionnaire in respect of a Company Securityholder confirming that such Company Securityholder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and is otherwise unable to satisfy itself, in its reasonable discretion, that a Company Securityholder is an “accredited investor” as so defined, or that the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock to such Company Securityholder is otherwise lawful, then such Company Securityholder shall be entitled to receive the portion of the Aggregate Closing Consideration attributable to the shares of Company Stock held by such Company Securityholder that would have been paid in Parent Common Stock solely in cash in lieu of such Parent Common Stock (in an amount equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock payable to such Company Securityholder multiplied by the Average Parent Common Stock Price), and the Parent Common Stock otherwise payable to such Company Securityholder shall instead be reallocated among the remaining Company Securityholders eligible to receive Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3.7(b) (with such remaining Company Securityholders having a corresponding reduction in the cash consideration otherwise payable thereto).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, with respect to the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock, there shall have been any dividend (whether in cash, stock or otherwise) with a record date during such period, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any similar event, then the number of shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Aggregate Closing Consideration and any other number or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock will be appropriately adjusted to reflect such dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any similar event.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, but no later than five (5) Business Days hereafter, Parent shall instruct the Payments Administrator to distribute to the Company Stockholders (i) the Letter of Transmittal, (ii) the Lockup Agreement, if applicable and not already delivered to Parent, (iii) an Accredited Investor Questionnaire and (iv) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the certificates representing shares of Company Stock (the “Stock Certificates”) in exchange for the Per Share Closing Consideration. The payment of the Per Share Closing Consideration with respect to each Stock Certificate outstanding as of the Effective Time is conditioned upon (A) the execution and delivery of the Letter of Transmittal and the Accredited Investor Questionnaire, (B) the delivery of such Stock Certificates related thereto and (C) in the case of Company Stockholders that will be receiving shares of Parent Common Stock, the execution and delivery of the Lockup Agreement. Promptly following the Effective Time, provided the Payments Administrator has received an original Stock Certificate (or an affidavit of loss) together with a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal and Accredited Investor Questionnaire (and, if applicable, the Lockup Agreement), the Payments Administrator shall deliver to the Company Stockholder who surrendered such Stock Certificate (x) the applicable Per Share Closing

Consideration as shown on the Securityholder Schedule, but, in each case, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (which shall be withheld from the cash portion of the Per Share Closing Consideration) and (y) for those Company Stockholders receiving shares of Parent Common Stock, evidence of the issuance, in book entry form, by Parent’s transfer agent of the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock for such Company Stockholder as shown on the Securityholder Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Company Stockholder that no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing surrenders to the Payments Administrator such Stock Certificates (or affidavits of loss) and such duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal and Accredited Investor Questionnaire (and, if applicable, the Lockup Agreement), shall be entitled to payment on the Closing Date of such Company Stockholder’s Per Share Closing Consideration. If payment of any portion of the applicable Per Share Closing Consideration is to be made to a person, firm, entity, partnership, association or any business organization or division thereof (each a “Person”) other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Stock Certificates are registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Person requesting such payment (x) shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of those amounts to a Person other than the registered holder of the Stock Certificates surrendered, and shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid, or (y) shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax is not applicable. From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.7(c), each Stock Certificate shall be deemed to represent for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable Per Share Closing Consideration and the right to receive any additional amounts payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4, Section 3.5, Section 3.6, Section 14.3 and Section 15.5.

(ii) The payment of the Per Share Option Consideration with respect to any Optionholder who will be receiving shares of Parent Common Stock is conditioned upon the execution and delivery of the Lockup Agreement and the Accredited Investor Questionnaire by such Optionholder. Promptly following the Effective Time, provided Parent has received the Accredited Investor Questionnaire and the Lockup Agreement from any Optionholder who will be receiving shares of Parent Common Stock, Parent shall deliver to each such Optionholder evidence of the issuance, in book entry form, by Parent’s transfer agent of the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock for such Optionholder as shown on the Securityholder Schedule.

(d) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in the Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of Company Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Stock Certificates outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Legal Requirements. After the Effective Time, the Payments Administrator shall cancel and exchange, as provided in this SECTION 3, any presented Stock Certificates outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payments Administrator shall be liable to any holder of a certificate formerly representing shares of Company Stock for any amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirement.

(f) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Payments Administrator shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from payment of the Per Share Closing Consideration, Per Share Option Consideration or any other amounts (or any portion thereof) payable pursuant to this Agreement (by withholding from the cash portion thereof) to, or on behalf of, any Company Securityholder, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from payment of any amounts

(or any portion thereof) otherwise payable pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to any Company Securityholder, such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other Tax Law; provided, that Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prior notice to the Stockholder Representative of any amounts that Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or, to the Knowledge of Parent, the Payments Administrator intends to withhold from any payments hereunder (other than with respect to compensatory payments); provided further, that the parties to this Agreement shall reasonably cooperate with each other, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other, to minimize or eliminate any potential deductions and withholdings that Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Payments Administrator or other applicable withholding agent may believe it is required to make under applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Payments Administrator or the Escrow Agent, such withheld amounts shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company Securityholder to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. Notwithstanding anything herein, any compensatory amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement shall be remitted to the applicable recipient for payment to the applicable person through the Surviving Corporation’s regular payroll procedures, as applicable.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Stock Certificates. In the event any original Stock Certificate(s) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making and delivery of an affidavit of that fact by the applicable Company Stockholder in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, Parent shall instruct the Payments Administrator to pay that Company Stockholder the Per Share Closing Consideration as provided in this SECTION 3; provided, however, that Parent or the Payments Administrator may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent to issuing such instruction to the Payments Administrator, require that Company Stockholder to deliver an agreement of indemnification, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payments Administrator with respect to the Stock Certificate(s) alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(h) Dissenting Shares. The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall also apply to Dissenting Shares that lose their status as such, except that the obligations of Parent under this Section 3.7 shall commence on the date of loss of such status and the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange for such shares the applicable amounts provided in SECTION 3.

(i) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. All fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that a single Company Securityholder would be entitled to receive shall be aggregated and calculations shall be rounded to three decimal places. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Company Securityholder otherwise entitled to a fractional interest in a share of Parent Common Stock shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof (rounded to the nearest cent), which payment shall be determined by multiplying (a) the Average Parent Common Stock Price by (b) the fractional interest in a share of Parent Common Stock such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.7(c). Any adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 3.7(i) shall be reflected on the Securityholder Schedule.

(j) Distributions on Parent Common Stock After the Closing. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered shares of Company Common Stock until such shares of Company Common Stock are surrendered as provided in Section 3.7(c). Following such surrender, there shall be paid, without interest, to the record holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor (i) at the time of such surrender, all dividends and other distributions payable in respect of such shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Closing and a payment date on or prior to the date of such

surrender and not previously paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Closing but with a payment date subsequent to such surrender. For purposes of dividends or other distributions in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock, all shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be entitled to dividends pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as if issued and outstanding as of the Closing.

The management information systems of Parent and its Subsidiaries are adequate for the preservation of relevant information and the preparation of accurate reports.

5.6 Brokers and Finders. All negotiations relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been carried on without the intervention of any Person acting on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective “affiliates” or “associates” (as those terms are defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in such manner as to give rise to any valid claim against the Company or any Company Stockholder for any brokerage or finder’s commission, fee or similar compensation.

5.7 Ownership and Activities of Merger Sub. Parent owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Merger Sub. As of the date hereof and as of the Effective Time, except for Liabilities incurred in connection with its incorporation and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and except for this Agreement and any other agreements or arrangements contemplated hereby or thereby, Merger Sub has not, and at the Effective Time will not have incurred, directly or indirectly, any Liabilities or engaged in any business activities of any type or kind whatsoever or entered into any Contracts with any Person.

5.8 Financing. Parent has delivered to the Company a true and complete copy of a fully executed commitment letter dated on or about the date of this Agreement from the Financing Sources

identified therein (together with all exhibits, annexes, schedules and term sheets attached thereto and as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced, waived or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement in compliance with Section 7.10, and any commitment letters with respect to any Alternative Financing, and the Fee Letter, collectively, the “Commitment Letter”), providing, subject to the terms and conditions therein, for debt financing in the amounts set forth therein (being collectively referred to as the “Financing”); provided, that the Fee Letter may be redacted in the manner described in the last parenthetical of this Section 5.8. As of the date of this Agreement, the Commitment Letter has not been amended or modified, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, no such amendment or modification is contemplated, and none of the respective obligations or commitments contained in the Commitment Letter has been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect and, to the Knowledge of Parent, no such withdrawal, termination or rescission is contemplated; provided, that the existence or exercise of “market flex” or similar provisions contained in the Fee Letter shall not constitute an amendment or modification of the Commitment Letter. Assuming the Financing is funded in accordance with the Commitment Letter, Parent will have sufficient cash on hand on the Closing Date to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Aggregate Closing Consideration (and any repayment or refinancing of debt of Parent contemplated by the Commitment Letter, if any) and any other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including all amounts payable in respect of Company Options under this Agreement and under the Payoff Letters) and to pay all related expenses payable on the Closing Date by Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such amount collectively, the “Required Amount”). As of the date of this Agreement, the Commitment Letter is (x) a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each of the other parties thereto and (y) enforceable in accordance with its terms against Parent, as applicable, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each of the other parties thereto (except insofar as such enforceability may be limited by the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions). As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent or, to the Knowledge of Parent, any other party thereto under the Commitment Letter. Assuming satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in SECTION 8 and SECTION 9, Parent does not have any reason to believe that the conditions precedent set forth in the Commitment Letter will not be satisfied or that the Required Amount will not be available on the Closing Date. The only conditions precedent (including any “market flex” provisions contained in the Commitment Letter) related to the obligations of the Financing Sources to fund the full amount of the Financing are those expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter. Parent has fully paid, or will cause to be fully paid, any and all commitment fees or other fees required under, pursuant to or in connection with the Commitment Letter to be paid by it on or prior to the Closing Date. Except for the fee letter with respect to fees and related arrangements with respect to the Financing (the “Fee Letter”), a correct and complete copy of which has been delivered by Parent to the Company on or prior to the date of this Agreement (other than with respect to redacted fees, fee amounts, pricing terms, pricing caps, “market flex” provisions and other economic terms, but which redacted information does not relate to or adversely affect the amount or conditionality of the Financing), as of the date of this Agreement, Parent is not subject to any side letters, written Contracts or other written arrangements related to the Financing other than as expressly contained in the Commitment Letter delivered to the Company on or prior to the date of this Agreement.

5.9 Solvency. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in SECTION 4, immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies), on a consolidated basis and taken as a whole, shall not (a) be insolvent or left with unreasonably small capital, (b) have incurred debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature, or (c) have liabilities in excess of the reasonable market value of their assets.

(c) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide each Employee (other than an Employee who is a Key Employee) who remains an employee of any of the Acquired Companies at the Effective Time (i) the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2018, with the same level and amount of base salary or wages (as applicable) and cash incentive bonus and commission opportunities as are in effect immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) with other terms and conditions of employment, including compensation and employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to similarly-situated employees of Parent; provided, however, that each Key Employee shall be entitled to payment of any bonus earned for the first quarter of 2018 under any Company Plan (to the extent that the terms of such bonus were disclosed in Section 4.23 of the Disclosure Schedule), which bonus shall if earned be paid in the second quarter of 2018. With respect to each benefit plan, program, practice, policy or arrangement maintained by Parent in which current Employees subsequently participate, for purposes of determining eligibility, vesting and entitlement to benefits, including for severance benefits and

vacation entitlement, Parent shall credit each Employee with such Employee’s years of service with the Acquired Companies (or predecessor employers to the extent the applicable Acquired Company provides past service credit) to the same extent such Employee was entitled to be credited immediately prior to the Closing under any similar Company Plan; provided, that such service shall not be recognized for purpose of accruals of benefits or to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or to the extent that such service was not recognized under the corresponding Company Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to confer upon any Employee any right with respect to continuance of employment by or other service with the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the right of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent to terminate or change any Employee’s or Service Provider’s employment or other association, compensation or benefits at any time, or require the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any Subsidiary to continue the employment or services of any Employee or Service Provider following the Effective Time and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an amendment of, or interfere in any way with, the right of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any Subsidiary to amend, terminate or otherwise discontinue any or all plans, practices or policies of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any Subsidiary in effect from time to time. This representation is not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder as a third-party beneficiary.

(d) Parent is not under any obligation to retain any Employee or Service Provider, or provide any Employee or Service Provider with any particular benefits, or make any payments or provide any benefits to those Employees or Service Providers whom Parent chooses not to employ or subsequently terminates, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

7.6 Indemnification of D&O Indemnitees.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the Company Organizational Documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement and under Contracts between the Company and its directors and officers (the persons entitled to be indemnified pursuant to such provisions, and all other current and former directors and officers of Company being referred to collectively as the “D&O Indemnitees”).

(b) At or prior to Closing, the Company shall (at the Company’s expense) obtain and fully pay a six-year irrevocable “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing Date with respect to those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company’s directors and officers currently covered by such insurance than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided, that such “tail” policy shall provide such coverage for six (6) years from the Closing Date and shall be obtained from the Company’s or Parent’s current insurance company or another reputable insurance company, reasonably satisfactory to Parent.

(c) With respect to any right to indemnification, reimbursement or advancement for acts or omissions occurring prior to or at the Closing, Parent and the Acquired Companies, as applicable, shall be the indemnitor of first resort, responsible for all such indemnification, reimbursement and advancement that any D&O Indemnitees may have from any direct or indirect shareholder or equity holder of the Acquired Companies (or any Affiliate of such shareholder or equity holder) and without the right to seek subrogation, indemnity or contribution from any other Person. Each of the Acquired Companies and Parent further agrees that no advance or prepayment by any Person other than Parent and the Acquired Companies as the primary indemnitor on behalf of any D&O Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which

such D&O Indemnitee has sought indemnification from any of the Acquired Companies shall affect the foregoing and that any such secondary indemnitor shall have a right of contribution or to be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all the rights of recovery of the D&O Indemnitee against Parent and the Acquired Companies, and each of Parent and the Acquired Companies hereby irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any such secondary indemnitor from any and all claims against the secondary indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.

(d) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not 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 be obligated to ensure that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 7.6.

(e) This Section 7.6 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and the Effective Time, is intended to benefit and may be enforced by the D&O Indemnitees, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) discuss, encourage, negotiate, undertake, initiate, authorize, recommend, propose or enter into, whether as the proposed surviving, merged, acquiring or acquired corporation or otherwise, any transaction involving an Acquisition Proposal, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) facilitate, encourage, solicit or initiate discussions, negotiations or submissions of proposals or offers in respect of an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) furnish or cause to be furnished, to any Person, any information concerning the business, operations, properties or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) otherwise consent to, or cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek any of the foregoing.

(b) The Company shall notify Parent orally or in writing promptly (but in no event later than one (1) Business Day) after receipt by the Company, or any of its Representatives of (i) any Acquisition Proposal from any Person, other than Parent, or (ii) any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company or any Company Subsidiary by any Person, other than Parent, to the extent reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. Any such notice of an Acquisition Proposal shall include, to the extent known, the name of the purchaser, the dollar amount, if any, of the purchase price of the Acquisition Proposal, its composition (i.e., cash, securities, etc.) and any material contingencies (e.g., earn-out or other conditions).

(c) The Company shall (and shall cause its Representatives to), immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than Parent) conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company or any Company Subsidiary shall not release any third party from the confidentiality and standstill provisions of any agreement to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party.

7.9 Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy. Prior to or upon Closing, Parent shall obtain a representations and warranties insurance policy issued by Vale Insurance Partners, LLC, for the benefit of Parent as the named insured (the “R&W Insurance Policy”), with a policy limit of $180,000,000, a term of twelve (12) months, and such other terms and conditions acceptable to Parent and the Company, and notify the Stockholder Representative that such policy has been bound as of the Closing Date and provide the Stockholder Representative with a true, correct and complete copy of such policy. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent and the applicable insurance provider as reasonably requested by Parent and such insurance provider in connection with obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy. The R&W Insurance Policy shall provide that the insurer or insurers may not seek to or enforce any rights of subrogation, contribution or rights acquired by assignment that it or they might have against any Non-Parties arising out of, as a result of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any alleged breach of any representation or warranty or the indemnification obligations under SECTION 14, in all cases, other than as a result of actual and intentional fraud. Parent and its Affiliates will not amend, permit to be amended, waive or otherwise modify the R&W Insurance Policy in a manner that is or could reasonably be expected to be adverse to any Non-Parties without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, in each instance.

7.10 Financing.

(a) Parent shall use its, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates (as applicable) to use their, reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, including using commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect and comply with the Commitment Letter, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent in the Commitment Letter at or prior to the Closing Date that are in its control, (iv) upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Parent’s obligations to consummate the Merger, draw the Financing in the amount required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date and (v) in the event of a failure to fund by the Financing Sources in accordance with the Commitment Letter, enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter and the definitive agreements (if any) with respect thereto. Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, agree to or permit any termination of or amendment, supplement or modification to be made to, or grant any waiver of any provision under, the Commitment Letter if such termination, amendment, supplement, modification or waiver would (A) reduce the aggregate amount of any portion of the Financing, (B) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the availability of the Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions precedent to the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede or delay the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing), (C) adversely impact the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letter, or (D) delay or prevent the Closing or make the funding of the Financing less likely to occur; provided that Parent may, without the consent of the Company, amend or otherwise modify the Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Commitment Letter on the date of this Agreement, as expressly contemplated by the Commitment Letter. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company true and complete copies of any amendment, modification, supplement, consent or waiver to or under any Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing promptly upon execution thereof.

(b) Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably prompt basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing. Without limiting the generality of

the foregoing, Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice of (i) any breach, default, termination, cancellation or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letter, (ii) the receipt by Parent of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing Source with respect to any (A) breach, default, termination, cancellation or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letter or (B) dispute or disagreement between Parent and any Financing Source related to the Financing that could reasonably be expected to delay or otherwise adversely impact the ability of Parent to obtain all or part of the Financing that is contemplated as of the date hereof to be funded on the Closing Date (giving effect to market flex provisions), and (iii) the occurrence of an event or development that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of Parent to obtain all or any portion of the Financing that is contemplated as of the date hereof to be funded on the Closing Date (giving effect to market flex provisions) on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Commitment Letter. As soon as reasonably practicable, Parent shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. If any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any applicable “market flex” provisions) contemplated by the Commitment Letter, Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, reasonably promptly given the anticipated timing of Closing, in replacement thereof alternative financing (the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient to fund the Required Amount with terms and conditions (including “market flex” provisions) not materially less favorable to Parent (or its respective Affiliates) than the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement (as it may have been amended or otherwise modified to the extent permitted by this Section 7.10). Parent shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of the financing letters for any such Alternative Financing (including fee letters that shall have fee or related economic information redacted pursuant to the terms thereof) pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide all or any portion of the Alternative Financing.

(c) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective officers, employees and advisors to provide, to Parent, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, such reasonable cooperation as is customary and reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, including using reasonable best efforts to:

(i) furnish Parent with the Required Information;

(ii) upon reasonable advance notice, cause senior management of the Company to participate in a reasonable number of lender meetings, diligence sessions and sessions with rating agencies in connection with the Financing, all at reasonable times and intervals;

(iii) assist Parent with the preparation by Parent and the Financing Sources of materials for rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda, lender presentations, syndication memoranda and similar marketing or offering materials, memoranda or documents, in each case to the extent, and solely to the extent, such materials relate to information concerning the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and, if required, assist Parent in obtaining ratings in connection with the Financing;

(iv) execute and deliver as of (but not prior to) the Closing any pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents, or other certificates or documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent (provided, that (A) none of the documents or certificates shall be executed or delivered except in connection with the Closing, (B) the effectiveness thereof shall be conditioned upon, or become operative upon, the occurrence of the Closing and (C) no liability shall be imposed on the Company

or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers or employees involved prior to the Closing Date) and otherwise reasonably facilitate the pledging of collateral;

(v) provide, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, all documentation and other information about the Company and its Subsidiaries as is reasonably required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations including the USA PATRIOT Act, in each case to the extent requested at least ten (10) Business Days in advance of the Closing;

(vi) request the Payoff Letter from the applicable existing lenders (or agent in respect thereof) of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

(vii) subject to the proviso in Section 7.10(c)(ix), cause the Company’s accountants to provide, consistent with customary practice, reasonable assistance to Parent in connection with Parent’s preparation of pro forma financial statements and information;

(viii) as promptly as reasonably practicable, inform Parent if the Company or its Subsidiaries shall have Knowledge (x) that any restatement of the financial statements of ABILITY Network Inc. comprising a portion of the Required Information must be made (or the auditors of ABILITY Network Inc. have recommended such a restatement be made) in order for such financial statements to comply with GAAP or (y) that any of the Required Information is no longer Compliant; and

(ix) solely with respect to financial information and data derived from the historical books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, assist Parent with the preparation of pro forma financial information and pro forma financial statements necessary or reasonably required by Parent or the Financing Sources, it being agreed that the Company will not be required to provide any information or assistance relating to (A) any post-Closing or pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization, ownership or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any information used in connection with the Financing or (B) any financial information related to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any adjustments that are not directly related to the acquisition of the Company by Parent; provided, however, that (I) in no event shall the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries or the Company’s accountants be required to provide, prepare or assist with the preparation of, any purchase accounting adjustments, valuations or purchase price allocations and (II) in no event shall the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries or the Company’s accountants be required to assist in causing such pro forma financial information and pro forma financial statements to comply with Regulation S-X.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of such requested cooperation provided in accordance with this Section 7.10 shall unreasonably interfere with the normal business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to (i) bear any expense, pay any commitment or other fee, enter into any definitive agreement, incur any other liability, make any other payment, be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Financing or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Financing or any of the foregoing in each case prior to the Effective Time or (ii) take any action to cause any condition to Closing set forth in this Agreement to fail to be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement that would provide Parent the right to terminate this Agreement or seek indemnity under the terms hereof. In addition, nothing in this Section 7.10 shall require (a) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to provide access to or disclose information when the Company determines that such access or disclosure would reasonably be expected to jeopardize the attorney client privilege, (b) any action that would conflict with or violate the Company Organizational Documents or any law or result in, prior to the Effective Time, the contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in, prior to the Effective Time, a violation or breach of, or default

under, any Material Contract, (c) any employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incurring any personal liability (as opposed to liability in his or her capacity as an officer of such Person) with respect to any matters related to the Financing, (d) the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective boards of directors (or equivalent bodies) to approve or authorize the Financing or any documentation related thereto prior to the Effective Time or (e) the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or their counsel to provide any legal opinion in connection with the Financing. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors or employees shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing and no directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that will not be continuing directors, acting in such capacity, shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the Financing. Parent shall, with respect to the arrangement of the Financing, (I) promptly reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including (A) reasonable attorneys’ fees and (B) expenses of the Company’s accounting firms incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with the Financing, including the cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Representatives contemplated by Section 7.10(c)) and (II) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any thereof) suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (including the performance of their respective obligations under, or the taking of or refraining from any action in accordance with, this Section 7.10), in each case other than to the extent any of the foregoing was suffered or incurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, in each case, their respective Affiliates and Representatives.

(e) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts to, periodically update any Required Information provided to Parent as may be necessary so that such Required Information is Compliant.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 7.10 represent the sole obligation of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective Representatives with respect to cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and no other provision of this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations.

(g) The Company hereby consents, on behalf of itself and each of the Acquired Companies, to the use of the Acquired Companies’ logos solely in connection with the Financing; provided, that Parent shall ensure that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Acquired Companies or the Acquired Companies’ reputation or goodwill and will comply with the Company’s usage requirements to the extent made available to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement.

(h) Parent acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the Financing, or any Alternative Financing, is not a condition to Closing.

7.11 Access to Information. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, subject to the execution and delivery of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, Parent shall cause the Acquired Companies to provide the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives reasonable access to the appropriate officers, books and records (including all electronic

data related thereto) of the Acquired Companies during their regular business hours upon reasonable advance notice and reasonable circumstances, including to the extent necessary for the preparation of insurance claims, financial statements, regulatory filings, Tax Returns of the Company Stockholders or their Affiliates in respect of periods ending on or prior to the Closing, or in connection with any Actions (other than Actions in respect of which Parent or its Affiliates is an adverse party, which access shall be governed by applicable Legal Requirements). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such access shall be permitted to the extent that (i) it would reasonably be expected to require any of the Acquired Companies to disclose information subject to attorney-client or other legal privilege, (ii) conflict with any confidentiality obligations to which any of the Acquired Companies is bound, or (iii) violate any applicable Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Acquired Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements which would allow it to disclose to the Stockholder Representative information of the types described above without resulting in any such disclosures of information being subject to privilege, conflicts or violations. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to make copies of the books and records to which it is entitled to access pursuant to this Section 7.11. Parent shall cause the Acquired Companies to hold all the books and records of the Acquired Companies existing on the Closing Date and not to destroy or dispose of any thereof for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date or such longer time as may be required by Legal Requirements.

SECTION 12
TERMINATION

12.1 Termination Prior to the Effective Time of the Merger. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, by action taken or authorized by the Board of Directors or any authorized Committee thereof of the terminating party or parties:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Company and Parent;

(b) by either the Company or Parent if the Closing shall not have occurred by July 4, 2018, as extended to the first Business Day following the final day of the Marketing Period, if the

Marketing Period has commenced and the first Business Day following the final day of the Marketing Period would be after such date (the “End Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of, or resulted in the failure of, the Closing to occur on or before such date, and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement; provided, further, however, that if the Merger is not consummated by the End Date as a result of a Financing Failure, then, notwithstanding the first proviso of this Section 12.1(b), Parent may terminate this Agreement so long as it pays the fee required by Section 12.3(a) in the event of a Financing Failure. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate Parent to seek or obtain any extension of the Commitment Letter;

(c) by either the Company or Parent, if a Governmental Authority shall have issued or enacted any final and nonappealable Legal Requirement or taken any other action having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.1(c) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act, in violation of this Agreement, has been a principal cause of, or resulted in, such impediment;

(d) by the Company, (i) upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, or (ii) if any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub shall have become untrue, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 10.1 would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided, that if such inaccuracy in Parent’s or Merger Sub’s representations and warranties or breach by Parent or Merger Sub is curable prior to the End Date, then the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.1(d) prior to thirty (30) days following the receipt by Parent of written notice from the Company of such inaccuracy or breach or such shorter period of time that remains between the date the Company gives notice of such inaccuracy or breach and the End Date (it being understood that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.1(d) if the Company shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such inaccuracy or breach by Parent or Merger Sub is cured such that such conditions would then be satisfied);

(e) by Parent, (i) upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement by the Company or the Stockholder Representative, or (ii) if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided, that if such inaccuracy in the Company’s representations and warranties or breach by the Company or the Stockholder Representative is curable by the Company or the Stockholder Representative prior to the End Date, then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.1(e) prior to the thirty (30) days following the receipt by the Company of written notice from Parent of such inaccuracy or breach or such shorter period of time that remains between the date Parent gives notice of such inaccuracy or breach and the End Date (it being understood that Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.1(e) if Parent shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such inaccuracy or breach by the Company or the Stockholder Representative is cured such that such conditions would then be satisfied);

(f) by Parent, if the Stockholder Written Consent and Agreement signed by Company Stockholders holding at least 92% of the issued and outstanding Company Common Stock is not delivered within two (2) hours of the execution of this Agreement or has been rescinded, revoked or changed; or

(g) by the Company, if the conditions to Closing set forth in SECTION 8 and SECTION 9 are satisfied or waived (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time) and Parent shall not, within two (2) Business Days after the date on which the Closing was required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2 (or on or prior to the End Date, if sooner), have consummated the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including making the payments contemplated by Section 3.7(a) and delivering the certificates for the shares of Parent Common Stock contemplated by Section 3.7(b)) (a “Financing Failure”).

12.2 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. If a party wishes to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1, then such party shall deliver to the other parties to this Agreement a written notice stating that such party is terminating this Agreement and setting forth a brief description of the basis on which such party is terminating this Agreement. Any termination of this Agreement under Section 12.1 above will be effective immediately upon the delivery of a valid written notice of the terminating party to the other parties hereto. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 12.1, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect and all rights and liabilities of the parties hereto shall terminate without liability on the part of any party hereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (i) the provisions set forth in Sections 7.2 (Confidentiality), Section 7.3 (Public Disclosure), the last sentence of 7.10(d) (Financing Cooperation Indemnification), this Section 12.2 (Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination), Section 12.3 (Termination Fee) and SECTION 17 (Miscellaneous), as well as any defined terms used in such Sections, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) subject to Section 12.3, nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

12.3 Termination Fee.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 12.1(d) or Section 12.1(g) (or by Parent pursuant to Section 12.1(b) at a time when the Company could have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(d) or Section 12.1(g)), then Parent shall pay to the Company or its designee a fee equal to $50,000,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) no later than two (2) Business Days after such termination by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in writing by the Company.

(b) The parties acknowledge that (i) the agreement contained in this Section 12.3 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the amount of, and the basis for payment of, the fee described herein is reasonable and appropriate in all respects and (iii) without this agreement, the parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Parent fails to pay in a timely manner the Parent Termination Fee, and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company makes a claim that results in a judgment for an amount equal to all or a portion of the Parent Termination Fee, Parent shall pay to the Company or its designee the Company’s reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and costs of counsel) in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, from the date such fee, cost or expense was required to be paid to (but excluding) the payment date. All payments under Section 12.3(a) or this Section 12.3(b) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account (or accounts) designated by the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated and the Parent Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 12.3(a), (i) the sole

and exclusive remedy of the Company against Parent, Merger Sub or any Financing Sources, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Related Parties”) for any Damages suffered as a result thereof or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, any of transactions contemplated hereby, or the Financing shall be the right to terminate this Agreement (subject to the terms of Section 12.1) and receive payment of the Parent Termination Fee (and the expenses and interest, if any, contemplated by the second sentence of Section 12.3(b)) as and only to the extent provided by Section 12.3(a) and Section 12.3(b), and (ii) except as provided in the immediately foregoing clause (i), none of the Purchaser Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing shall not (A) limit the ability of the Company to recover reimbursement for costs and expenses and indemnification under Section 7.10(d) or (B) restrict the Company’s entitlement to seek and obtain specific performance as and to the extent permitted by Section 17.7(b); provided, further, that while the Company may pursue both specific performance as and to the extent permitted by Section 17.7(b) and payment of the Parent Termination Fee in accordance with Section 12.3(a), under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in a Closing and payment of the Parent Termination Fee. If the Company receives the Parent Termination Fee, it shall not seek to recover any other money damages or seek any other monetary remedy (other than under Section 7.10(d)).

SECTION 13
FEES AND EXPENSES

13.1 General. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and whether or not the Merger is consummated, each party shall bear its respective fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including fees and expenses of financial advisors, financial sponsors, legal counsel and other advisors, and the Company shall bear the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Company Securityholders in connection with the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (which, in the case of the Company, includes the Company Transaction Expenses and all fees, costs and expenses of the Stockholder Representative).

SECTION 14
INDEMNIFICATION

14.1 Indemnification of Parent Indemnified Parties. From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of Section 11.1 and this SECTION 14), Parent, Merger Sub, their respective Affiliates (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) and their respective directors, officers, employees, equityholders, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified, solely from the Escrow Fund, from and against any and all Damages based upon, arising from or related to any of the following (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third party claim) (each a “Parent Claim”):

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in SECTION 4 or in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement (in each case, as such representation or warranty would read if all qualifications as to materiality, including each reference to the defined term Material Adverse Effect (except where Material Adverse Effect appears in the first sentence of Section 4.9) were deleted therefrom); and

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement that is to be performed following the Closing by the Stockholder Representative.

14.2 Certain Limitations on Parent Claims.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this SECTION 14, including the first sentence of Section 14.2(b), with respect to any claim asserted under Section 14.1(a), unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $12,000,000, a Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover only fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the Damages that would be payable pursuant to such claim.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, the aggregate amount of indemnification available to the Parent Indemnified Parties under Section 14.1 shall be restricted to the Escrow Fund and shall not exceed $6,000,000; provided, that the parties hereto acknowledge that separate coverage may be available for certain Damages under the R&W Insurance Policy. In respect of any Damages and subject to the terms and conditions of this SECTION 14, including the first sentence of this Section 14.2(b), the Parent Indemnified Parties shall seek payment first out of the Escrow Fund until the Escrow Fund is exhausted and second under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(c) Parent hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each of the other Parent Indemnified Parties, that other than indirectly through the payment of all or a portion of the Escrow Fund to the Parent Indemnified Parties if and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, under no circumstances will the Company Securityholders or any of their Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) have any liability to any of the Parent Indemnified Parties relating to or arising from this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Parent hereby waives, on behalf of itself and the other Parent Indemnified Parties, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any claim against, and shall have no recourse to, the Company Securityholders or any other Seller Party under any Recourse Theory, including under any control person liability theory for any action or inaction of the Acquired Companies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 14.2(c) shall be subject to Section 14.10(c)(i).

(d) Except for Parent pursuant to the terms hereof, no Person (including the Company Securityholders or any of their respective Affiliates) shall have any obligation to fund the Escrow Fund.

(e) In no event shall any Parent Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 14.1(a) if such breach relates to the taking of any action or the failure to take any action with respect to which Parent consented in accordance with Section 6.1 or Section 6.3.

14.3 Indemnification of Company Securityholder Parties. From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of Section 11.2 and this SECTION 14), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Company Securityholders, their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, equityholders, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Company Securityholder Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages based upon, arising from or related to any of the following (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third party claim) (each a “Company Securityholder Claim”):

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Merger Sub in SECTION 5 or in any certificate delivered by Parent pursuant to this Agreement (in each case, as

such representation or warranty would read if all qualifications as to materiality were deleted therefrom); and

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement that is to be performed following the Closing by Parent.

14.4 Certain Limitations on Company Securityholder Claims.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this SECTION 14, including Section 14.4(b), with respect to any claim asserted under Section 14.3(a), a Company Securityholder Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover only fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the Damages that would be payable pursuant to such claim.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, the aggregate amount of indemnification available to the Company Securityholder Indemnified Parties under Section 14.3 (other than for claims pursuant to Section 14.3(b) based on any breach or non-fulfillment of the covenants or agreements set forth in Section 3.7(b)) shall not exceed $6,000,000.

14.5 Notification of Claims. If a Person entitled to indemnification under this SECTION 14 (an “Indemnitee”) becomes aware of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification under this SECTION 14, such Indemnitee shall provide prompt notice of the same to the applicable Indemnitor Representative. Each such notice shall be in writing and shall describe with reasonable specificity the nature and amount of the applicable claim, along with the basis therefor under this SECTION 14. The failure to so notify an Indemnitor Representative will not limit any claim for indemnification under this SECTION 14; provided, that the ability of the Indemnitor Representative to defend its interest in connection with such claim is not materially and adversely prejudiced thereby.

14.6 Third Party Actions. In the event any Action is instituted by any third party against an Indemnitee which involves or appears reasonably likely to involve a Parent Claim for which indemnification may be sought, Parent will, promptly after receipt of notice of any such Action, notify the Stockholder Representative of the commencement thereof. The failure to so notify the Stockholder Representative of the commencement of any such Action will not relieve the Company Securityholders from liability in connection therewith, except to the extent that such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the Company Securityholders to defend their interests in such Action. Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to assume and control the defense or settlement of such Action; provided, that the Stockholder Representative and its counsel (at such party’s sole expense; provided with respect to the Stockholder Representative, at the Company Securityholders’ sole expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Action; provided, further that, except with the consent of the Stockholder Representative, subject to the terms and conditions of this SECTION 14, including the first sentence of Section 14.2(b), no settlement of any such Action with third party claimants shall be determinative of the amount of Damages with respect to a Parent Claim relating to such matter. In the event that the Stockholder Representative has consented to any such settlement, the Company Securityholders shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this SECTION 14 to the amount of any such Parent Claim against the Escrow Fund with respect to such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Parent Claim related to Taxes shall be subject to Section 15.3, and this Section 14.6 shall not apply to such Parent Claim.

14.7 Definition of Damages. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Damages” shall mean the amount of any loss, claim, demand, damage, liability, judgment, fine, penalty (including interest

and penalties awarded or imposed by a Governmental Authority), cost or out-of-pocket expense (including reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually paid or incurred by an Indemnitee, whether or not involving an Action, including any reasonable costs of defending any Actions or enforcing such Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement, but excluding punitive damages (except to the extent an Indemnitee is liable for punitive damages on account of a third party Action).

14.8 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The Company Securityholders, the Stockholder Representative and Parent agree to treat and report (and cause their Affiliates to treat and report) any payments received pursuant to SECTION 14 as adjustments to the Aggregate Closing Consideration for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirements.

14.9 Determination of Damage Amount.

(a) The amount of any Damage subject to indemnification under Section 14.1 or Section 14.3 shall be calculated net of (i) any Tax Benefit actually realized and received by an Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates on account of such Damages and (ii) subject to Section 14.2(a), any insurance proceeds (net of direct collection expenses) or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by an Indemnitee from any third party with respect thereto. If an Indemnitee realizes and receives a Tax Benefit after an indemnification payment is made to it, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay to Parent or the Payments Administrator and the Surviving Corporation (for further distribution to the Company Securityholders), as applicable, the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is actually realized and received by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 14.9, “Tax Benefit” shall mean any refund of Taxes paid or reduction in the amount of Taxes which otherwise would have been paid and which is not otherwise eligible for payment under the provisions of Section 15.5, prior to any offset pursuant to Section 15.5(f). Subject to Section 14.2(a), an Indemnitee shall seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Damage to the same extent as it would if such Damage were not subject to indemnification hereunder. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any Indemnitee with respect to any Damage for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder (other than recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy), then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery shall be made promptly to the Parent or the Payments Administrator and the Surviving Corporation (for further distribution to the Company Securityholders), as applicable.

(b) No Parent Indemnified Party shall have any right to indemnification hereunder with respect to any Damage or alleged Damage to the extent such Damage or alleged Damage is included in the calculation of Aggregate Closing Consideration or is specifically and fully accrued and reserved for in the Financial Statements.

(c) No Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recovery for any Damage if such Damage is otherwise recovered by an Acquired Company pursuant to any agreement entered into by such Acquired Company in connection with past acquisitions or sales.

(d) No Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover more than once in respect of any one Damage.

14.10 Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating, directly or indirectly, to the subject matter of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any certificate, instrument, opinion or other documents delivered hereunder, the ownership, operation, management, use or control of

the businesses of the Acquired Companies, any of their respective assets, or any actions or omissions at or prior to the Closing Date, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, shall be exclusively pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 3.4 (Post-Closing Adjustment), Section 12.3 (Termination Fee), SECTION 14 (Indemnification) and Section 17.7 (Specific Performance), as applicable. Subject to the foregoing, each of the parties hereto hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, any and all rights, claims and causes of action such party or any of its Affiliates may have against any other party relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign Legal Requirement or otherwise.

(b) The parties hereto agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, constitute an integral part of the consideration given to the Company Securityholders, were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties, and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Company Securityholders hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, nothing herein shall operate to limit (i) the liability of any Company Securityholder to Parent for actual and intentional fraud in the event such Company Securityholder is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have willfully and knowingly committed actual and intentional fraud against Parent, with the specific intent to deceive and mislead Parent, regarding the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement (provided, that no Company Securityholder shall be liable for the actual and intentional fraud of any other Company Securityholder); provided, that in no event shall the liability of any Company Securityholder pursuant to this Section 14.10(c)(i) exceed the proceeds received by such Company Securityholder under this Agreement, or (ii) the liability of Parent or its Affiliates to the Company Securityholders for actual and intentional fraud in the event Parent is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have willfully and knowingly committed actual and intentional fraud against the Company Securityholders, with the specific intent to deceive and mislead the Company Securityholders, regarding the representations and warranties made by Parent and Merger Sub in this Agreement.

14.11 Mitigation. Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all losses, costs, expenses and damages after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any losses, costs, expenses and damages that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder (including pursuant to Section 15.5(f)) or in connection herewith.

14.12 Escrow Release. Except for any amount with respect to which a Parent Indemnified Party shall have, prior to the Escrow Period Termination Date, previously made a claim pursuant to the procedures set forth in this SECTION 14 and for which the obligation to indemnify, if any, shall not have been satisfied from the Escrow Fund (the “Outstanding Escrow Claims”), title and all rights to all funds in the Escrow Fund shall automatically transfer to the Company Securityholders on the first Business Day following the Escrow Period Termination Date. As soon as practicable, and in any event no more than three (3) Business Days, following the Escrow Period Termination Date, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent and take all other actions reasonably necessary to cause the Escrow Agent to release all funds in the Escrow Fund less the amount of the Outstanding Escrow Claims to (1) the Payments Administrator for distribution by the Payments Administrator to each Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of such amount, and (2) the Surviving Corporation for distribution by the Surviving Corporation to each Optionholder, such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of such amount.

As soon as practicable, and in any event no more than three (3) Business Days, following the resolution of any Outstanding Escrow Claim pursuant to the procedures set forth in this SECTION 14, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release any remaining cash held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement with respect to such Outstanding Escrow Claim to (x) the Payments Administrator for distribution by the Payments Administrator to each Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of such amount, and (y) the Surviving Corporation for distribution by the Surviving Corporation to each Optionholder, such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of such amount.

14.13 R&W Insurance Policy. The Stockholder Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Company Securityholders, acknowledges that Parent is entering into the R&W Insurance Policy and that, in connection therewith, a Parent Indemnified Party may make claims for the same Damage or series of related Damages under this SECTION 14, subject to the limitations set forth in this SECTION 14, and the R&W Insurance Policy. The Stockholder Representative for itself and on behalf of the Company Securityholders, further acknowledges and agrees that the denial of any claim by any Parent Indemnified Party under the R&W Insurance Policy shall not be construed as, or used as evidence that, such Parent Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this SECTION 14, subject to the limitations set forth in this SECTION 14. Notwithstanding any provision in this SECTION 14 to the contrary, a Parent Indemnified Party shall not be required to provide notice of a Parent Claim to the Stockholder Representative or permit the Stockholder Representative to assume the defense of or obtain the Stockholder Representative’s consent in connection with the settlement or other resolution of any claim to be satisfied exclusively under the R&W Insurance Policy.

SECTION 15
TAXES

15.1 Pre-Closing Tax Period; Straddle Period.

(a) All U.S. federal income Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date and any Straddle Period, to the extent filed or required to be filed after the Closing Date, shall be prepared by Parent, consistent with the past practice of the Acquired Companies except to the extent otherwise required by Legal Requirements (each, a “Specified Pre-Closing Tax Return”). Parent or the Company shall file or cause to be filed the Specified Pre-Closing Tax Returns as finally prepared pursuant to this Section 15.1(a). Parent shall provide to the Stockholder Representative a draft of each such Specified Pre-Closing Tax Return not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to its due date (taking into account extensions of time). The Stockholder Representative shall provide Parent with any comments to such Specified Pre-Closing Tax Return within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the draft of such Specified Pre-Closing Tax Return. Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such comments. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days after receipt of such comments, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm in manner consistent with the provisions of Section 3.4(c)(iii) and Section 3.4(c)(iv). If the Accounting Firm is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for filing such Specified Pre-Closing Tax Return (after giving effect to validly obtained extensions of time to make such filings) (a “Contested Tax Return”), the Tax Return as prepared by Parent shall be executed and duly and timely filed with the appropriate Tax Authority. Upon the resolution by the Accounting Firm of the disputed items, such Contested Tax Return shall be amended to reflect the Accounting Firm’s resolution of such items, and such Tax Return, as revised to reflect such resolution, shall be executed and duly and timely filed with the appropriate Tax Authority.

(b) All other Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date and any Straddle Period, to the extent filed or required to be filed after the Closing Date, shall be prepared and filed by Parent, consistent with the past practice of the Acquired Companies except to the extent otherwise required by Legal Requirements. If the filing of such Tax Return would reasonably be expected to result in an indemnification obligation of the Company Securityholders or a reduction in the Tax Benefit Payments pursuant to Section 15.5(f), Parent shall provide the Stockholder Representative a draft of such Tax Return prior to filing for its review and comment. The parties shall resolve any disputed items with respect to such Tax Return in a manner consistent with Section 15.1(a).

(c) Each Acquired Company will, unless prohibited by applicable Tax Law, close its taxable period as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable Tax Law does not permit such Acquired Company to close its taxable year on the Closing Date, or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period which includes the Closing Date (but does not end on that day) (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes of the Acquired Companies not based upon or measured by income, activities, events, the level of any item, gain, receipts, proceeds, profits or similar items for the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. The amount of any other Taxes for a Straddle Period that relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date; provided, however, that any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (such as deductions for depreciation or real estate Taxes) shall be apportioned on a daily basis.

15.2 Transfer Taxes. Any sales, use, transfer, gains, stamp, duties, recording and similar Taxes incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne 50% by the Company Stockholders and 50% by Parent. Parent shall prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes (the “Transfer Tax Returns”) and timely remit all such Transfer Taxes. If required by applicable Tax Law, the Company Stockholders will join in the execution of any Transfer Tax Return.

15.3 Tax Dispute Resolution. Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholder Representative in writing of the commencement of any Audit or examination with respect to Taxes or of any Tax Return of the Acquired Companies, in each case for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and any other change or adjustment, claim, dispute, arbitration or litigation initiated by a Tax Authority with respect to Taxes or of any Tax Return of the Acquired Companies, that, if sustained, would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification in respect of Taxes under this Agreement or a reduction in Tax Benefit Payments pursuant to Section 15.5(f) (a “Pre-Closing Tax Claim”). Such notice shall describe the asserted Pre-Closing Tax Claim in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notices and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such asserted Pre-Closing Tax Claim. Parent shall have the right to control any Pre-Closing Tax Claim in the Tax audit, examination, and settlement stage and, if not settled, in any further contest; provided, however, that (x) Parent shall inform the Stockholder Representative of the status and progress of such Pre-Closing Tax Claim (y) the Stockholder Representative will have the opportunity to participate in such Pre-Closing Tax Claim at the Stockholder Representative’s expense and (z) the Stockholder Representative and the Company Stockholders will not be subject to indemnification obligations under SECTION 14 or reduction in Tax Benefit Payments pursuant to Section 15.5(f) to the extent such indemnification obligations or reduction in Tax Benefit Payments arise from Parent’s settlement of such Pre-Closing Tax Claim unless the Stockholder Representative has consented in writing to such settlement (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Subject to the provisions of Section 15.1(a) and Section 15.1(b), any dispute, controversy, or claim between Parent, on the

one hand, and the Company Securityholders or the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to the provisions of this Agreement that relate to Taxes that cannot be resolved by negotiations between Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall be submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 3.4(c)(iii) and Section 3.4(c)(iv).

15.4 Amendments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except with the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or except as required by Legal Requirements, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, any Acquired Company) may (i) amend any Tax Return with respect to any Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including a Straddle Period), (ii) initiate or enter into any voluntary disclosure agreement or program with any Tax Authority with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iii) take any action after the Closing on the Closing Date outside the Ordinary Course of Business (except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement), in each case, if any action set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) would result in any Damages for which the Parent Indemnified Parties would be indemnified under this Agreement or would result in a reduction of Tax savings to which the Company Securityholders are entitled pursuant to Section 15.5(b) (including to a reduction pursuant to Section 15.5(f)).

15.5 Tax Refunds and Tax Benefits.

(a) Sixty percent (60%) of any refunds (including, for the avoidance of doubt, overpayments of estimated Taxes) of, or credits against, Taxes that are realized and received by the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that (i) relate to Taxes (including for the avoidance of doubt estimated Taxes) actually paid by the Acquired Companies prior to Closing or included either (A) as a Change in Control Payment Employer Tax Obligation in the calculation of the Aggregate Closing Consideration or (B) as a liability in Working Capital and (ii) that were not included as an asset in Working Capital will be for the benefit of the Company Securityholders, and Parent or the Company will pay sixty percent (60%) of the amount of any such refund (whether received as a refund or as a credit against or an offset of Taxes otherwise payable), together with sixty percent (60%) of any interest received thereon within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt to the Payments Administrator for further distribution to the Company Securityholders. Parent shall, if the Stockholder Representative requests (sixty percent (60%) of such expense to be borne by Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Company Securityholders), use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the relevant entity to file for and obtain any refunds or credits to which the Company Securityholders may be entitled hereunder.

(b) In addition to (but without duplication of) the refunds and credits to which the Company Securityholders are entitled under Section 15.5(a), the Company Securityholders shall be entitled to sixty percent (60%) of any U.S. federal and state income Tax savings realized by Parent, any Acquired Company or any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which Parent or an Acquired Company is a member (a “Parent Group Member”) with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period that are attributable to (i) any net operating losses, capital losses or Tax credits generated by the Acquired Companies in a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (ii) Transaction Tax Deductions and any net operating loss attributable thereto, to the extent not included in clause (i) (all such net operating losses, capital losses, Tax credits and Transaction Tax Deductions described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the “Company Tax Assets”). For purposes of the foregoing, (1) Tax savings shall include any refund (including interest thereon), credit or other reduction of (or lower required payment in respect of) any Tax of Parent, any Acquired Company or any Parent Group Member, realized with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period, and (2) Parent, any of the Acquired Companies or any Parent Group Member shall be deemed to realize Tax savings attributable to Company Tax Assets (A) upon receipt by such Person of any Tax refund (including a refund of estimated Taxes) with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period, (B) upon application by such Person of any

available Tax refund against Taxes that are or will be due with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period, (C) upon payment of a lower amount of Taxes (including a lower payment of estimated Taxes) by such Person than would otherwise have been paid with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period, or (D) upon filing of a Tax Return with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period in which the Taxes otherwise payable by such Person are reduced (to the extent such reduction has not already been deemed recognized under clauses (B) or (C)), in each case to the extent such refund, lower payment or reduction is attributable to a Company Tax Asset, and, for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication among clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D). Within thirty (30) Business Days after Parent, an Acquired Company or a Parent Group Member realizes a Tax savings with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period attributable to a Company Tax Asset, Parent shall deliver and pay over, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, sixty percent (60%) of the amount of such Tax savings to the Payments Administrator for the benefit of the Company Securityholders in a manner reasonably requested by the Stockholder Representative. The amount of any Tax savings to which this Section 15.5(b) applies shall be determined on a “with and without” basis. The payments to which the Company Securityholders are entitled pursuant to Section 15.5(a) and this Section 15.5(b) are referred to herein as the “Tax Benefit Payments.”

(c) With respect to the preparation of Tax Returns, the parties agree that to the maximum extent allowable under applicable Legal Requirements (i) all Transaction Tax Deductions will be treated as properly allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) the payment and resulting cancellation of the Intercompany Notes will be treated as properly allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) Transaction Tax Deductions shall be utilized in the earliest taxable year and to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, including pursuant to an election to carry back any Transaction Tax Deductions to prior taxable years (and including using any available short-form or accelerated procedures and filing amended Tax Returns to the extent necessary), (iv) the safe harbor election provided for in IRS Revenue Procedure 2011-29 shall be made with respect to any Transaction Tax Deduction that constitutes a “success-based fee”, and (v) the parties will prepare and file all Tax Returns consistently therewith; provided, however, that in no event shall this Section 15.5(c) require any party to take a tax position to the extent such position requires such party to establish a reserve for financial accounting purposes.

(d) So long as Tax Benefit Payments remain payable pursuant to this Section 15.5, on each anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall send a written notice to the Stockholder Representative that shall include a statement as to the amount of Tax Benefit Payments in the preceding twelve months, including information setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such Tax Benefit Payments, including the Tax liability of the Parent taking into account any Transaction Tax Deductions on a “with or without” basis.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 15.5 shall only apply to Tax refunds, benefits and savings realized and received with respect to taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the third anniversary of the Closing.

(f) Tax Benefit Payments shall be reduced by the following, to the extent not otherwise included in the calculation of the Aggregate Closing Consideration or paid to Parent pursuant to Section 14.1 or recovered by Parent or any other beneficiary under the R&W Insurance Policy (and Parent shall seek recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy before effecting any such reduction which would otherwise be covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, but may effect such reduction if recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy has not been obtained at the time of the making of the Tax Benefits Payments; provided that if Parent later recovers under the R&W Insurance Policy with respect to any such reduction, Parent shall promptly pay such recovered amount to the Payments Administrator for further distribution to the Company Securityholders): (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred

in connection with calculations under and compliance with this Section 15.5 (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the accounting firms of Parent or any Acquired Company; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not apply to such costs and expenses for the preparation and filing of Parent’s or its Affiliates Tax Returns), (ii) expenses to be borne by the Stockholder Representative or the Company Securityholders under this Agreement, including this Section 15.5, that are paid by Parent, (iii) Taxes based upon, arising from or related to any (A) Taxes of any Acquired Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (B) Transfer Taxes for which the Company Stockholders are responsible under this Agreement, (C) Taxes imposed on an Acquired Company as a result of any Acquired Company being a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group for any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (including any arrangement for group or consortium Tax relief or similar arrangement), (D) Taxes of any Person imposed on or with respect to the Acquired Companies as a transferee or successor, pursuant to a contract (other than an agreement that is entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business the principal purpose of which is not related to Taxes), or otherwise by operation of Legal Requirements, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, and (E) breach of a representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Section 4.14 of this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including this SECTION 15), Section 15.5(f) shall not apply to, and the Company Securityholders and the Stockholder Representative shall otherwise have no liability under this Agreement (or Escrow Agreement) with respect to (i) any Taxes that were taken into account in the calculation of Aggregate Closing Consideration, (ii) Taxes incurred as a result of actions outside the Ordinary Course of Business that are not contemplated by this Agreement and are taken after the Closing on the Closing Date by any Acquired Company upon the direction of Parent, or (iii) Taxes of any Acquired Company attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Period (except in respect of a breach of (A) Section 4.14(i), Section 4.14(o), Section 4.14(p) or Section 4.14(t) or (B) a representation or warranty in Section 4.14 relating to a net operating loss or Tax credit of an Acquired Company).

(h) The Company Securityholders, the Stockholder Representative and Parent agree to treat and report (and cause their Affiliates to treat and report) any Tax Benefit Payments as adjustments to the Aggregate Closing Consideration for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirements.

15.6 Cooperation. Parent, the Acquired Companies and the Stockholder Representative will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, provide each other with such cooperation and information as any of them reasonably may request in connection with any Tax matters relating to the Acquired Companies. Such cooperation and information will include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Parent will retain, or cause the Acquired Companies to retain, all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Acquired Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate or (ii) three (3) years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Return. Any information obtained under this Section 15.6 will be kept confidential except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an Audit or other proceeding.

15.7 Section 338 Election. No election under 338(g) of the Code, or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, may be made with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the Stockholder Representatives prior written consent.

(iii) The power (subject to the provisions of Section 16.2 hereof) to (A) contest, negotiate, defend, compromise or settle any Actions for which a Parent Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification through counsel selected by the Stockholder Representative and solely at the cost, risk and expense of the Company Securityholders, (B) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such Parent Claims, (C) resolve any Parent Claims, (D) take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby by arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and (E) take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Company Securityholder or necessary in the judgment of the Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;

(viii) The power to take any actions on behalf of the Company Securityholders in regard to such other matters as are reasonably necessary for the consummation of the

transactions contemplated hereby or as the Stockholder Representative reasonably believes are in the best interests of the Company Securityholders.

(b) The Stockholder Representative represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that:

(i) The Stockholder Representative has all necessary limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder;

(ii) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder Representative and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Stockholder Representative, enforceable against the Stockholder Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions; and

(iii) At or prior to the Closing, the Escrow Agreement will be duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder Representative and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Escrow Agreement by Parent and the Escrow Agent, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Stockholder Representative, enforceable against the Stockholder Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions.

16.2 Claims by Parent.

(a) Upon receipt or notice of any Parent Claim pursuant to Section 14.5 or Section 14.6, the Stockholder Representative shall give prompt notice of the amount and details thereof (to the extent of the information in his, her or its possession) to the Advisory Group.

(b) The Stockholder Representative shall have the discretion to take such action as it shall determine to be in the best interest of all of the Company Securityholders, taken as a whole, including authorizing the distribution to any Parent Indemnified Party of any portion of the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that, in any event, all Company Securityholders are treated in substantially the same manner with respect to amount to be paid from the Escrow Fund.

16.3 Notices. After the Closing, any notice given to the Stockholder Representative will constitute notice to each and all of the Company Securityholders at the time notice is given to the Stockholder Representative. Any action taken by, or notice or instruction received from, the Stockholder Representative will be deemed to be action by, or notice or instruction from, each and all of the Company Securityholders. Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Corporation may, and the Escrow Agent will, disregard any notice or instruction received from any one or more individual Company Securityholders.

16.4 Agreement of the Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative hereby agrees to do such acts, and execute further documents, as shall be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Securityholder Schedule, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Company Securityholder or other party.

16.5 Reimbursement and Liability of Stockholder Representative.

(a) The Stockholder Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Stockholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Company Securityholders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Stockholder Representative Expenses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case, as such Stockholder Representative Expense is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Stockholder Representative Expense is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Company Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Stockholder Representative Expense to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any such Stockholder Representative Expenses shall be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Stockholder Representative Fund and (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Fund at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Securityholders; provided, that while this Section 16.5(a) requires the Stockholder Representative to be reimbursed from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Company Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Stockholder Representative Expenses as they are suffered or incurred to the extent the aforementioned sources of funds are insufficient or otherwise unavailable, nor does it prevent the Stockholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of the Company Securityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Stockholder Representative under this Section 16.5. The Stockholder Representative Fund shall be held by the Stockholder Representative for reimbursements payable to the Stockholder Representative at the request of the Stockholder Representative in its sole discretion. The Company Securityholders acknowledge that the Stockholder Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or administration of its duties. Furthermore, the Stockholder Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Stockholder Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Stockholder Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Stockholder Representative in performing such actions.

(b) Certain Company Securityholders have entered into an engagement agreement with the Stockholder Representative (“Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement”) to provide direction to the Stockholder Representative in connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (such Company Securityholders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). No member of the Advisory Group (in its capacity as such) shall be liable to any Company Securityholder for any act done or omitted hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement as the Advisory Group while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Company Securityholders shall severally (but not jointly) indemnify and defend the members of the Advisory Group and hold the Advisory Group harmless against any Stockholder Representative Expenses incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Advisory Group and arising out of or in connection with the

acceptance or administration of the Advisory Group’s duties hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, subject to the then remaining funds in the Stockholder Representative Fund.

16.6 Reliance on Stockholder Representative. Parent, Merger Sub, their respective Affiliates (including after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of the Stockholder Representative and treat such Stockholder Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Company Securityholder and as having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. None of Parent, Merger Sub, their respective Affiliates (including after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) or the Escrow Agent shall be liable to any Company Securityholder for any actions taken or omitted by them in reliance upon any instructions, notice or other instruments delivered by the Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time. Parent, Merger Sub, their respective Affiliates (including after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely at any time after receipt of any such notice on the most recent notice so received. If the Stockholder Representative shall be unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, his, her or its successor who shall serve and exercise the powers of the Stockholder Representative hereunder shall be appointed by a written instrument signed by Company Securityholders who would receive a majority-in-interest of the undistributed portions of the Escrow Amount held in escrow at such time. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

17.2 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements and other provisions set forth in this Agreement and made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the successors, heirs and permitted assigns of such party, whether or not so expressed. None of the parties may assign, transfer or delegate any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the consent in writing of the Company, Parent and the Stockholder Representative; provided, that Parent and Merger Sub (including the Surviving Corporation) may, without obtaining the prior written consent of the Company or the Stockholder Representative, assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to (a) any Affiliate of Parent; provided, that Parent remains obligated to comply with its obligations hereunder if such Affiliate does not comply with such obligations, (b) any successor of such party by merger, by purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Parent or otherwise, provided, that such party remains obligated to comply with its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not comply with such obligations or (c) any Financing Source (or any agent or collateral trustee for any such Person) as collateral security in connection with the Financing. Any purported assignment or delegation of rights or obligations in violation of this Section 17.2 is void and of no force or effect.

17.3 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected (so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto), it being intended that each of the parties’ rights and privileges shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, and any such invalidity, illegality and unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction (so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto). If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such court is hereby irrevocably authorized to fashion and enforce another provision (instead of the provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) that is valid, legal and enforceable and carries out the intentions of the parties hereto under this Agreement and, in the event that such court does not exercise such power, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to agree to another provision (instead of the provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) that is valid, legal and enforceable and carries out the parties’ intentions to the greatest lawful extent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 17.3 (Severability) and Section 17.15 (Non-Recourse) shall not be severable.

17.4 Third Parties; Lender Related Parties. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or any other certificate, document, instrument or agreement executed in connection herewith, except (i) the Indemnitees not party hereto are entitled to the rights and remedies of third party beneficiaries with respect to SECTION 14, (ii) the D&O Indemnitees are entitled to the rights and remedies of third party beneficiaries with respect to Section 7.6, (iii) each Affiliate and Representative of Parent and its successors an assigns are entitled to the rights and remedies of third party beneficiaries with respect to Section 12.3, (iv) the Non-Parties are entitled to the rights and remedies of third party beneficiaries with respect to Section 17.15, and (v) the Financing Sources shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 12.3(c), Section 17.2, this Section 17.4, Section 17.5, Section 17.6, Section 17.7(b), Section 17.12 and Section 17.15.

The Company and its Affiliates and Representatives hereby waive any and all claims and causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity) against the Lender Related Parties that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, the Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

17.5 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and any of the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection with any matter which is the subject of this Agreement, including the validity hereof and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, in all cases, whether in contract or in tort, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely in the State of Delaware (without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof) and the Merger shall be governed by the DGCL; provided, that in any Action brought against any of Parent’s Financing Sources in accordance with Section 17.5(c), the foregoing shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(b) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of competent civil jurisdiction sitting in the State of Delaware over any Action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or related to any matter which is the subject of this Agreement and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such Action may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of such Action brought in such court or any claim that such Action brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in such Action may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by any applicable Legal Requirement.

No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

17.13 Exhibits and Schedules. The Disclosure Schedule and all other schedules and exhibits hereto are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. Any item disclosed in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule referenced by a particular Section of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other Section of this Agreement if the relevance of such disclosure to such other Sections is reasonably apparent. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party hereto shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts, or the inclusion of any such item, in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Section of the Disclosure Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. No disclosure on a Section of the Disclosure Schedule relating to a possible breach or violation of any Contract or Legal Requirement shall be construed as an admission or indication that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

The Disclosure Schedule and the information and statements contained therein are not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations, warranties, agreements, obligations or covenants of any party except as and to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, nor shall they be taken as extending the scope of any representation, warranty, agreement, obligation or covenant set out in this Agreement. Any capitalized term used in any exhibit hereto or in the Disclosure Schedule but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning given to such term in this Agreement.

17.15 Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise (a) any claim of any type (whether at law or in equity, whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise) that may directly or indirectly arise under or relate to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution, performance or breach (whether willful, intentional, unintentional or otherwise) of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (each of such above-described sources of claims, a “Recourse Theory”) may be made or asserted solely against the Persons that are expressly identified as the parties in the preamble to and signature pages of this Agreement and solely in their capacities as such and as expressly permitted by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (b) no Person who is not a party hereto (including (i) any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholder, controlling Person, management company, incorporator, member, limited or general partner, manager, director, officer, employee, agent, Lender Related Party, Affiliate, attorney or representative of a party hereto or any Affiliate of such party (all above-described Persons in this clause (i), collectively, “Affiliated Persons”), and (ii) any Affiliated Persons of such Affiliated Persons (the Persons in clauses (i) and (ii), together with their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors or administrators, collectively, but specifically excluding the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, “Non-Parties”)) has or shall have any liability whatsoever directly or indirectly arising under or relating to any Recourse Theory. Without limiting the rights of any party hereto against the other parties hereto, in no event shall any party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 17.15 shall be subject to Section 14.10(c)(i).
