2.8    Calculation of Merger Consideration; Adjustment
(a)    At least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to Parent a statement (the “Company Closing Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Working Capital, and the Change in Control Payments, which shall be certified by an officer of the Company as being prepared in good faith and in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and, in the case of the Closing Working Capital, in accordance with the methodology on Schedule 1.1(b). The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent in supplying any other information Parent may reasonably request in order to verify the amounts reflected on the Company Closing Statement. The estimated Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, and Change in Control Payments set forth on the Company Closing Statement, with any changes thereto as agreed by Parent and the Company prior to the Closing, will be used for purposes of calculating the Merger Consideration absent manifest error.
(b)    No later than seventy-five (75) calendar days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Securityholder Representative a statement setting forth Parent’s calculations of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Working Capital, and the Change in Control Payments, which shall be certified by an officer of Parent as being prepared in good faith and in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and, in the case of the Closing Working Capital, in accordance with the methodology on Schedule 1.1(a). (the “Parent Closing Statement”).
(c)    During the thirty (30) calendar day period following the delivery of the Parent Closing Statement, the Securityholder Representative and its representatives and agents shall be given reasonable access to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation that were used in preparing the Parent Closing Statement and reasonable access to personnel or representatives of the Surviving Corporation and Parent responsible for preparing the Parent Closing Statement, as they may reasonably request solely for the purposes of investigating or resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised in the Parent Closing Statement; provided that the Securityholder Representative and its representatives and agents shall not have access to materials subject to the attorney client privilege or that constitute attorney work product. The Securityholder Representative hereby agrees that it shall, and shall cause its representatives and agents

- 23 -



to, maintain the confidentiality of all information provided to them pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing confidentiality obligations, following Closing, the Securityholder Representative shall be permitted to disclose such information as required by law or to its employees, advisors or consultants and to the Company Securityholders in each case who have a need to know such information in connection with the performance by the Securityholder Representative of its obligations under this Agreement, provided that such persons either (A) agree to observe the terms of this Section 2.8(c) or (B) are bound by obligations of confidentiality to the Securityholder Representative of at least as high a standard as those imposed on the Securityholder Representative under this Section 2.8(c). After Parent delivers the Parent Closing Statement, the Securityholder Representative may dispute any amounts thereon by delivering a written notice of any such dispute over any amounts set forth on the Parent Closing Statement (a “Dispute Notice”) to Parent within thirty (30) calendar days after Parent delivers the Parent Closing Statement. If the Securityholder Representative fails to deliver a Dispute Notice to Parent on or before the end of such thirty (30) calendar day period, the Parent Closing Statement shall be deemed to set forth the final Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, and Change in Control Payments, in each case, for purposes of determining the Actual Adjustment. Prior to the end of such thirty (30) calendar day period, the Securityholder Representative may also accept the Parent Closing Statement by delivering written notice to that effect to Parent, in which case the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Working Capital, and the Change in Control Payments set forth therein will be finally determined when such notice is given. In addition, any items not expressly identified as being in dispute in any Dispute Notice shall be deemed to be agreed to in all respects by the Securityholder Representative, and shall become binding on the parties. If the Securityholder Representative gives a Dispute Notice to Parent within such thirty (30) calendar day period, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute during the thirty (30) calendar day period commencing on the date Parent receives the Dispute Notice from the Securityholder Representative. If the Securityholder Representative and Parent do not agree upon a final resolution with respect to any disputed items within such thirty (30) calendar day period, then the remaining items in dispute shall be submitted immediately to a nationally recognized, independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Securityholder Representative (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall be requested to render a determination of the applicable dispute within forty-five (45) calendar days after referral of the matter to such Accounting Firm, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. The terms of appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be as agreed upon between the Securityholder Representative and Parent, and any associated engagement fees shall initially be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Indemnifying Parties and fifty percent (50%) by Parent; provided that such fees shall ultimately be borne by Parent and the Indemnifying Parties in inverse proportion as they prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportional allocations also shall be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the matter. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the parties hereto in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the party incurring such cost and expense; provided, that any such cost and expense incurred by the Securityholder Representative shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties. In resolving the disputed items, the Accounting Firm shall: (A) limit its review to determining whether the amount for each disputed item, as set forth in the Parent Closing Statement or the Dispute Notice, is more consistent with the applicable definitions of, and methodology for determining, the disputed items as set forth in this Agreement, (B) resolve each such disputed item by choosing such amount that it determines to be more consistent with the applicable definition and methodology, (C) review only such matters that were properly included in a timely Dispute Notice and (D) not assign a value for any item that remains in dispute that is greater than the greatest value, or smaller than the smallest value, set forth by either Parent in the Parent Closing Statement or the Securityholder Representative in the Dispute Notice. Such determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The Parent Closing Statement shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any disputed items pursuant to

- 24 -



this Section 2.8(c) and, as so revised, such Parent Closing Statement shall be deemed to set forth the final Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, and Change in Control Payments, in each case, for all purposes hereunder (including the determination of the Actual Adjustment).
(d)    If the Actual Adjustment is a positive amount, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay such amount to the Indemnifying Parties on a pro rata basis, based on their respective Pro Rata Percentages, net of applicable withholding taxes, if any, by wire transfer or delivery of immediately available funds to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Company Securityholders upon valid receipt of documents required for the payment of Merger Consideration.
(e)    If the Actual Adjustment is a negative amount (the “Negative Adjustment Amount”), then within three (3) business days after the date on which such amount is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.8, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver (1) to the Surviving Corporation an amount equal to the absolute value of the Negative Adjustment Amount and (2) to the Accounting Firm the amounts due to be paid by the Indemnifying Parties, if any, to the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.8(c).

Any Taxes for any Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) shall be apportioned between the Indemnifying Parties and Parent in the manner set forth in Section 6.12(c).
(e)    For purposes of this Agreement:
(i)    In the case of any gross receipts, income, payroll or similar Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes allocable to (A) the Pre‑Closing Tax Period, for which the Indemnifying Parties are responsible (and Parent shall be entitled to reimbursement for such Taxes to the extent such Taxes were not reflected in the calculation of Closing Working Capital), and (B) the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the day next succeeding the Closing Date (the “Post‑Closing Tax Period”), for which Parent and/or the Company is responsible, shall be determined on the basis of a deemed closing as of the close of business on the Closing Date of the books and records of the Company, provided, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions), other than with respect to property placed in service after the Closing, shall be allocated between the Pre‑Closing Tax Period and the Post‑Closing Tax Period in proportion to the number of days in each period.
(ii)    In the case of any Taxes (other than gross receipts, income, payroll or similar Taxes) that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes allocable to the Pre‑Closing Tax Period (for which the Indemnifying Parties are responsible, and Parent shall be entitled to reimbursement for such Taxes to the extent such Taxes were not reflected in the calculation of Closing Working Capital) shall be equal to the product of all such Taxes multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period from the commencement of the Straddle Period through and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; provided, however, that appropriate adjustments shall be made to reflect specific events that can be identified and specifically allocated as occurring on or prior to the Closing Date (in which case the Indemnifying Parties shall be responsible for any Taxes related thereto and Parent shall be entitled to reimbursement for such Taxes to the extent such Taxes were not reflected in the calculation of Closing Working Capital) or occurring after the Closing Date (in which case, Parent and/or the Company shall be responsible for any Taxes related thereto).
(iii)    The Company, Parent, and, after the Closing, the Securityholder Representative shall cooperate with each other in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.

period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Company, Parent or the Securityholder Representative, any extensions of the statute of limitations) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) to give the other parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if any of the other Parties so requests, the Company, Parent, or the Securityholder Representative, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.
(iv)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall have the sole right to control and make all decisions regarding any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to Taxes of the Company, including selection of counsel and selection of a forum for such contest, provided, however, that in the event such audit or proceeding relates to Taxes for which Parent is entitled to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Parties or from the Escrow Fund, (i) Parent, Company, and the Securityholder Representative shall cooperate in the conduct of any audit or proceeding relating to such period, (ii) the Securityholder Representative shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in such audit or proceeding at the Company Securityholders’ expense, and (iii)  Parent shall have the sole right to exercise control at any time over the handling, disposition and/or settlement of any issue raised in any official inquiry, examination or proceeding regarding any Tax Return (including the right to settle or otherwise terminate any contest with respect thereto), provided, Parent shall not settle any issue raised in any official inquiry, examination or proceeding regarding any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the consent of the Securityholder Representative, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(f)    Parent shall not amend or cause to be amended any Tax Return of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period if such amendment would result in an increase of Taxes or a reduction in net operating losses that would entitle Parent to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Parties or from the Escrow Fund, unless such amendment is required by applicable Legal Requirements.
(g)    To the extent Section 6043A of the Code applies to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, the parties shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with all information as is reasonably necessary for the parties to satisfy the reporting obligations under Section 6043A of the Code.
(h)    Each of the parties agrees that Pre-Closing Taxes shall not include any Taxes on the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company solely attributable to any election under Section 338 or 336(e) of the Code with respect to the Merger.
(i)    In the event of any conflict between this Section 6.12 and the rest of this Agreement, this Section 6.12 shall control.

For a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, each Continuing Employee shall either be provided with employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the employee benefits which such employee received from the Company or the Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time or, in the discretion

If the Securityholder Representative shall not object (other than with respect to any Agreed Upon Losses) in writing to Parent, with a copy to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(iv) to any individual items of Losses set forth in an Indemnification Claim Certificate delivered by Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(i) within thirty (30) calendar days after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such Indemnification Claim Certificate, the Securityholder Representative shall be conclusively deemed to have acknowledged and irrevocably consented, for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, (i) to the Indemnified Party’s recovery of the full amount of all such items of Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Certificate solely to the extent that such Losses do not exceed the amount of the Escrow Fund at such time, and (ii) if and to the extent necessary, and without further notice, to have stipulated to the entry of a final judgment for damages against the Indemnifying Parties for such items of Losses in any court having competent jurisdiction over the matter. Upon receipt of any Indemnification Claim Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall not release any portion of the Escrow Fund to Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Parties pursuant to this Agreement unless and until (i) the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Securityholder Representative to release any portion of the Escrow Fund, or (ii) the Securityholder Representative shall have failed to object in writing pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(iv) to any individual items of Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Certificate within thirty (30) calendar days after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such Indemnification Claim Certificate.
(iii)    In the event that the Escrow Agent shall receive written authorization from the Securityholder Representative to release to Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Parties any portion of the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(i), the Escrow Agent shall release such portion of the Escrow Fund in accordance with such written instructions. In the event that the Securityholder Representative shall have failed to object in writing pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(iv) to any individual items of Losses set forth in an Indemnification Claim Certificate relating to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 within thirty (30) calendar days after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such Indemnification Claim Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release to Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Parties (as instructed by Parent in writing) from the Escrow Fund an amount of cash equal to the amount of all such items of Losses specified in such Indemnification Claim Certificate with respect to which the Securityholder Representative

- 84 -



has not objected in writing pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(iv). Any cash released to Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties pursuant to the preceding sentence shall have the effect of reducing each Company Indemnifying Party’s interest in the Escrow Fund in accordance with his, her or its Pro Rata Percentage of the Escrow Fund.
(iv)    In the event that the Securityholder Representative shall seek to contest any individual items of Losses (other than any Agreed Upon Losses) set forth in an Indemnification Claim Certificate received from Parent or any other Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(i), the Securityholder Representative shall notify Parent and the Escrow Agent in writing, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such Indemnification Claim Certificate, of the Securityholder Representative’s objection, which notice shall set forth a brief description in reasonable detail of the Securityholder Representative’s basis for objecting to each item of Losses based on the Securityholder Representative’s good faith belief thereof. Upon Parent’s receipt of a written notice of objection from the Securityholder Representative pursuant to the preceding sentence, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to the disputed items of Losses. If the Securityholder Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth the agreement reached by the parties with respect to such disputed items of Losses shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, in the case of a claim against the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the instructions set forth in any such memorandum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholder Representative and the Indemnifying Parties hereby waive the right to object to or contest any Agreed Upon Losses set forth in an Indemnification Claim Certificate received from Parent or any other Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Securityholder Representative disagrees with the mathematical calculation of the amount of such Agreed Upon Losses. For purposes of this Agreement, “Agreed Upon Losses” means Losses paid, sustained or incurred by any Indemnified Parties (or any of them) resulting from, arising out of or in connection with, or in any way related to, any of the following: (A) any amount paid by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation to any Company Stockholder with respect to Dissenting Shares in excess of the value such Person would have received in the Merger for such Dissenting Shares had such shares been converted pursuant to Section 2.7(b), and all interest, costs, expenses and fees incurred by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation in connection with the exercise or attempted exercise of any appraisal rights, (B) any inaccuracy in the Payment Spreadsheet, and any amounts paid by reason thereof to any Company Securityholder in excess of the consideration to which such Company Securityholder is entitled in respect of Company Securities pursuant to this Agreement, (C) any Transaction Expenses in excess of the Transaction Expenses Amount, (C) any amounts payable in the event of a Negative Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 2.8(e), (D) any Pre-Closing Taxes and (E) any Agent Indemnification Expenses or Agent Interpleader Expenses.  
(v)    If within sixty (60) days after the Securityholder Representative’s receipt of such Indemnification Claim Certificate, the parties are unable to agree on the rights of the respective parties with respect to any disputed items of Losses set forth in an Indemnification Claim Certificate, either Parent or the Securityholder Representative may bring suit in the courts identified in Section 10.9 hereof to resolve the matter. The decision of the trial court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Indemnification Claim Certificate shall be nonappealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and the Escrow Agent shall distribute the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith. Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
(o)    Company Securityholder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement (including Section 6.14 hereof), the Company Organizational Documents, or any agreement between the Company and

- 85 -



any Company Securityholder to the contrary entered into prior to the Closing, in no event shall the Surviving Corporation, as the successor in interest to the Company by virtue of the Merger, or Parent, be obligated to reimburse, contribute, indemnify or hold harmless any Company Securityholder in its capacity as a Company Securityholder for or in connection with any Losses or obligations of the Company under this Article 8.
(p)    Third Party Actions.
(iv)    In the event any Action is instituted against an Indemnified Party which involves or appears reasonably likely to involve an Indemnification Claim hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), Parent will, promptly after receipt of notice of any such Action, notify the Securityholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) of the commencement thereof. The failure to so notify the Securityholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) of the commencement of any such Action will not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from liability in connection therewith. Parent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to control the defense of and to settle any such Action; provided, however, that the Securityholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) and its counsel (at such party’s sole expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Action. However, unless the Securityholder Representative consents to the settlement of a Third Party Claim, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and which consent shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes hereunder unless the Securityholder Representative objects in writing within ten (10) business days after a written request from Parent for such consent, the amounts paid to the third party claimant in settlement of such Third Party Claim shall not be determinative as to the amount of Losses recoverable for such settlement payment under this Article 8. If the Securityholder Representative consents to any such settlement, neither the Securityholder Representative nor any Indemnifying Party will have any power or authority to object to the amount or validity of any claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party for indemnity with respect to such settlement.
(v)    With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 8, (A) the Indemnified Party shall keep the Securityholder Representative reasonably informed of the status of such Third Party Claim unless the Securityholder Representative is participating in the defense of such matter, and (B) the parties agree to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim.
(vi)    Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any reasonable costs and expenses of investigation or defense, including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, and any costs paid in any settlement (other than a settlement to which the Securityholder Representative did not consent in accordance with the penultimate sentence of clause (i) of this Section 8.3(e)) or pursuant to any judgment, incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim alleging any matter that, if determined adversely to the Indemnified Party, would be a matter for which the Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder, will constitute Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article 8, whether or not an adverse determination is ultimately made against the Indemnified Party with respect to such matter.
(q)    Definition of Losses. For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the term “Losses” means the amount of (i) any direct, indirect, consequential, incidental or other damage (including lost profits and diminution in value but excluding punitive damages except to the extent punitive damages are awarded to a third party in a Third Party Claim), loss, liability, claim, deficiency, Tax, judgment, fine, penalty, cost

- 86 -



or other expense (including reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses) paid, sustained or incurred by the Indemnified Parties (or any of them), and (ii) any and all reasonable fees and costs of enforcing the Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement. For purposes of determining the amount of any Loss suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party, any qualifications in the representations, warranties and covenants with respect to a Company Material Adverse Effect, materiality, material or similar terms shall be disregarded and will not have any effect with respect to the calculation of the amount of any Losses attributable to a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company set forth in this Agreement or in any of the ancillary agreements, exhibits, schedules or certificates to, or delivered in connection with this Agreement.
(r)    Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The Indemnifying Parties, the Securityholder Representative and Parent agree to treat (and cause their affiliates to treat) any payments received pursuant to Section 8.2 as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirements.
(s)    Effect of Investigation; Reliance. The right to indemnification, payment of Losses or any other remedy hereunder will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any other matter. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Losses, or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. No Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification hereunder. Parent and the Company each acknowledge that such Losses, if any, would relate to unresolved contingencies existing at the Effective Time, which if known and resolved at the Effective Time would have led to a reduction in the Merger Consideration that Parent would have paid in connection with the Merger.
(t)    No Limitation on Certain Indemnification Rights. The parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) it is possible that an Indemnified Party may be entitled to recover for a single Loss pursuant to more than one applicable indemnification obligation under this Agreement; (ii) certain of such applicable indemnification obligations are subject to limitations, such as survival periods, baskets, or caps on recovery, which limitations may differ among indemnification obligations, and that therefore the amount that an Indemnified Party is entitled to recover under one of such indemnification obligations may vary from the amount that such Indemnified Party is entitled to recover under another applicable indemnification obligation; and (iii) the Indemnified Party shall not be foreclosed or limited from recovering under one such applicable indemnification obligation an amount of Loss that such Indemnified Party would not be entitled to recover under another applicable indemnification obligation due to the application of a survival period, basket, cap on recovery or other limitation on such other applicable indemnification obligation that differs from, or does not apply to, the first applicable indemnification obligation.
(i)    No Right of Contribution. After the Closing, the Indemnifying Parties shall have no right of contribution against Parent or the Surviving Corporation for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company.
8.3    Escrow Arrangements.

- 87 -



(kk)    Escrow Fund. Pursuant to Section 2.9(d), Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent in immediately available funds an amount of cash equal to the Escrow Amount as partial security for the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties set forth herein. The Escrow Agent shall (i) hold the Escrow Fund in an account established with the Escrow Agent, (ii) administer the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) as soon as practicable after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Escrow Amount, acknowledge the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Escrow Amount in writing by executing and delivering to Parent and Securityholder Representative, a receipt in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G. Interests in the Escrow Fund shall be non‑transferable; provided that nothing herein shall limit the transferability of any such interests after distribution thereof to the Company Securityholders in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
(ll)    Disbursement and Release of Escrow Amount.
(i)    On or prior to the third (3rd) business day following the date that is fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”), Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice (the “Escrow Release Notice”) instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Paying Agent the Escrow Release Amount (as defined below). Within two (2) business days after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Escrow Release Notice, the Escrow Agent shall distribute from the Escrow Fund the Escrow Release Amount to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Indemnifying Parties based on each Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Percentage. For purposes of this Agreement, “Escrow Release Amount” means an amount equal to (A) the amounts in the Escrow Fund on the Escrow Release Date, if any, less (B) that portion of the Escrow Fund which Parent certifies in its reasonable and good faith judgment in a written notice to the Escrow Agent and the Securityholder Representative (and which notice is received by the Escrow Agent and the Securityholder Representative on or prior to the Escrow Release Date) would reasonably be expected to constitute Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified under this Article 8 in respect of any Indemnification Claim Certificate received by the Escrow Agent on or prior to the Escrow Release Date with respect to facts and circumstances in existence on or prior to the Escrow Release Date.
(ii)    Following the Escrow Release Date, as soon as any remaining Indemnification Claim has been resolved in accordance with this Agreement, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to, within two (2) business days from receipt by the Escrow Agent of such notice, transfer from the Escrow Fund to the Paying Agent an amount equal to (A) all amounts in the Escrow Fund after payment of all amounts for such resolved Indemnification Claims to the Indemnified Parties less (B) that portion of the Escrow Fund which Parent certifies in its reasonable and good faith judgment in a written notice to the Escrow Agent and the Securityholder Representative would reasonably be expected to constitute Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified under this Article 8, for distribution by the Paying Agent to the Indemnifying Parties, based on each Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Percentage.
(iii)    Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 8.3(b), the Escrow Agent shall release and distribute amounts out of the Escrow Fund to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to any joint written instructions executed by Parent and the Securityholder Representative.
(mm)    Payments. The Escrow Agent shall pay all amounts payable under this Article 8 (i) to Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by Parent after the date hereof, or (ii) to the Paying Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or

- 88 -



accounts designated by the Paying Agent, in accordance with the instructions provided to the Escrow Agent by Parent and/or the Securityholder Representative in accordance with the term of this Article 8.
(nn)    Protection of Escrow Fund.
(i)    The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund prior to its distribution in full and in accordance with the terms of this Article 8 and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the term of this Article 8.
(ii)    During the term of this Agreement, if the Escrow Agent shall have received specific written investment instruction from Parent (which shall include instruction as to term to maturity, if applicable), on a timely basis, the Escrow Agent shall invest and reinvest, as applicable, the Escrow Fund in Eligible Investments, pursuant to and as directed in such instruction. If otherwise qualified, obligations of the Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates shall qualify as Eligible Investments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Eligible Investments shall be limited to those instruments readily obtainable and routinely offered by the Escrow Agent’s Corporate Trust Services.
(iii)    Absent its timely receipt of such specific written investment instruction from Parent, the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation or duty to invest (or otherwise pay interest on) the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that in the event the Escrow Agent shall not have received such written investment instruction, the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to invest any of the Escrow Fund in MMDA until such investment instruction is received. For the avoidance of doubt, all investment earnings received from the investment of the Escrow Fund shall be credited to, and shall become a part of, the Escrow Fund (and any losses on such investments shall be debited to the Escrow Fund). The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any investment losses, including without limitation any market loss on any investment liquidated prior to maturity in order to make a payment required hereunder.
(iv)    The parties hereto agree: (A) to treat the Escrow Fund as a “contingent at‑closing escrow” as defined in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B‑8(b); (B) that pursuant to such regulation all items of taxable income or gains prior to the applicable determination date (as defined in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B‑8(b)) shall be reported as taxable income or gains of Parent and Parent shall take into account all deductions, credits and losses related to the Escrow Fund, if any; (C) that, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Escrow Agent shall issue an IRS Form 1099 (or any successor form) relating to such taxable income or gains to and in the name of Parent for periods prior to the applicable determination date (as defined in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B‑8), and an IRS Form 1099 shall be issued by the Escrow Agent to the Indemnifying Parties for all of such income or gains not so allocated to Parent; (D) that Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall promptly deliver such certificates and other documents as the Escrow Agent may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation, completed, executed Forms W‑9 (or the appropriate Forms W‑8, in the case of non‑U.S. persons); and (E) that in order to permit Parent to satisfy its tax obligations with respect to items of taxable income or gains hereunder, by February 15 of the year immediately succeeding each calendar year, and immediately upon final distribution of the amounts in the Escrow Fund, with respect to which items of taxable income or gains are to be reported as taxable income or gains of Parent, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Parent an amount equal to 40% of the amount of such taxable income or gains. The parties hereto agree that, for tax reporting purposes, any distribution from the Escrow Fund to the Indemnifying Parties shall be reportable on IRS Form 1099B for the tax year in which the distribution is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions made to the Company on behalf of the Company Optionholders or Company Warrantholders shall be treated as returned to the Company and shall not be reported by the Escrow Agent.

- 89 -



(v)    Each of the parties hereto agrees to provide, and the Securityholder Representative agrees to direct the Indemnifying Parties to provide, the Escrow Agent with a certified tax identification number by signing and returning a Form W‑9 (or the appropriate Form W‑8, in case of non‑U.S. persons) to the Escrow Agent upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The parties hereto understand that, in the event their tax identification numbers are not certified to the Escrow Agent, the Code may require withholding of a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of the Escrow Fund. Each of the parties hereto agrees to instruct the Escrow Agent in writing with respect to the Escrow Agent’s responsibility for withholding and other taxes, assessments or other governmental charges.
(oo)    Concerning the Escrow Agent.
(i)    The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are expressly and specifically set forth in (A) this Agreement on its part to be performed, each of which is ministerial (and shall not be construed to be fiduciary) in nature, or (B) in any additional written instructions that the Escrow Agent may receive after the date hereof which are signed by an officer of Parent and the Securityholder Representative and are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, or in the reasonable opinion of the Escrow Agent will not result in additional liability to the Escrow Agent.
(ii)    The Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal or other action hereunder which might in its judgment involve or cause it to incur any expense or liability unless it shall have been furnished with acceptable indemnification.
(iii)    The Escrow Agent may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction (including, without limitation, wire transfer instructions, whether incorporated herein or provided in a separate written instruction), instrument, statement, certificate, request or other document furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person, and shall have no responsibility or duty to make inquiry as to or to determine the genuineness, accuracy or validity thereof (or any signature appearing thereon), or of the authority of the Person signing or presenting the same.
(iv)    The Escrow Agent may consult counsel satisfactory to it, including in‑house counsel. The opinion or advice of such counsel in any instance shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Escrow Agent hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel.
(v)    The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder except in the case of the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for indirect, punitive, special or consequential damage or loss (including but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if the Escrow Agent has been informed of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
(vi)    The Escrow Agent shall have no more or less responsibility or liability on account of any action or omission of any book‑entry depository, securities intermediary or other sub‑escrow agent employed by the Escrow Agent than any such book‑entry depository, securities intermediary or other sub‑escrow agent has to the Escrow Agent, except to the extent that such action or omission of any book‑entry depository, securities intermediary or other sub‑escrow agent was caused by the Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of this Agreement.

- 90 -



(vii)    The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Agreement, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one (1) or more of its affiliates, whether it or such affiliate is acting as a subagent of the Escrow Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account.
(viii)    Notwithstanding any term appearing in this Agreement to the contrary, in no instance shall the Escrow Agent be required or obligated to distribute any Escrow Fund (or take other action that may be called for hereunder to be taken by the Escrow Agent) sooner than two (2) business days after (A) it has received the applicable documents required under this Agreement in good form, or (B) passage of the applicable time period (or both, as applicable under the terms of this Agreement), as the case may be.
(ix)    Unless and except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein, all deposits and payments hereunder, or pursuant to the terms hereof (including without limitation all payments to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 8.3(e)(x), Section 8.3(e)(xi) and Section 8.3(e)(xii)) shall be in U.S. dollars.
(x)    Parent hereby agrees to pay the Escrow Agent’s compensation for its normal services hereunder in accordance with the fee schedule previously provided to Parent.
(xi)    If any controversy arises between the parties to this Agreement, or with any other party, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, its terms or conditions, the Escrow Agent will not be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it. The Escrow Agent may hold all documents and the Escrow Fund and may wait for settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or other means as, in the Escrow Agent’s discretion, may be required, despite what may be set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. In such event, the Escrow Agent will not be liable for damages. Furthermore, the Escrow Agent may at its option, file an action of interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves. The Escrow Agent is authorized to deposit with the clerk of the court all documents and the Escrow Fund held in escrow, except all costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Escrow Agent due to the interpleader action (the “Agent Interpleader Expenses”) and which the parties agree to pay as follows: fifty percent (50%) to be paid by Parent and fifty percent (50%) to be paid by the Indemnifying Parties on the basis of each Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Agent Interpleader Expenses; provided, however, that in the event any Indemnifying Party fails to timely pay his, her or its Pro Rata Percentage of the Agent Interpleader Expenses, the parties agree that Parent may at its option pay such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Agent Interpleader Expenses and recover an equal amount (which shall be deemed a Loss) from such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Escrow Fund. Upon initiating such action, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and discharged of and from all obligations and liability imposed by the terms of this Agreement.
(xii)    Parent and the Indemnifying Parties and their respective successors and assigns agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, counsel fees, including allocated costs of in‑house counsel and disbursements that may be imposed on Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, including but not limited to any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving its subject matter, other than those arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent (the “Agent Indemnification Expenses”) as follows: fifty percent (50%) to be paid by Parent and fifty percent (50%) to be paid by the Indemnifying Parties on the basis of each Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Agent Indemnification Expenses directly from the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that in the event the

- 91 -



Indemnifying Parties’ portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses cannot be satisfied from the Escrow Fund, as the case may be, in full, the parties agree that Parent shall pay the shortfall of the Indemnifying Parties’ portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses, and shall be entitled to recover such amount from each Indemnifying Party such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Percentage of such amount without regard to any caps or other limits herein.
(xiii)    The Escrow Agent may at any time resign as Escrow Agent hereunder by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of resignation to Parent and the Securityholder Representative; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective until the appointment of a successor escrow agent which shall be accomplished as set forth below. Prior to the effective date of the resignation as specified in such notice, Parent and the Securityholder Representative will issue to the Escrow Agent a written instruction authorizing redelivery of the Escrow Fund to a bank or trust company that it selects as successor to the Escrow Agent hereunder subject to the consent of Parent and the Securityholder Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If, however, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall fail to jointly name such a successor escrow agent within twenty (20) days after the notice of resignation from the Escrow Agent, Parent shall be entitled to name such successor escrow agent. If no successor escrow agent is named by Parent, the Escrow Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor escrow agent. The successor escrow agent shall execute and deliver an instrument accepting such appointment and it shall, without further acts, be vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor escrow agent as if originally named as escrow agent. Upon appointment of a successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged from any further duties and liability under this Agreement.
(xiv)    Each of the parties hereto acknowledge receipt of the notice from the Escrow Agent set forth on Exhibit G attached hereto and made part hereof and that information may be requested to verify their identities.
(pp)    Securityholder Representative.  Each of the Indemnifying Parties, by virtue of the approval this Agreement and the Merger and any other transactions contemplated hereunder by the Company Stockholders and/or entering into a Joinder Agreement, hereby appoints the Securityholder Representative as his, her or its true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney‑in‑fact, to execute and deliver this Agreement on their behalf and exercise all or any of the powers, authority and discretion conferred on him under this Agreement.
(qq)    Powers of the Securityholder Representative.
(i)    The Securityholder Representative shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred upon him pursuant to this Agreement, which shall include:
(A)    The power to execute any agreement or instrument in connection with the Merger and any other transactions contemplated hereby for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties;
(B)    The power to give or receive any notice or instruction permitted or required under this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument entered into or executed in connection herewith, to be given or received by any Indemnifying Party, and each of them (other than notice for service of process relating to any Action before a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, which notice must be given to each Indemnifying Party individually, as applicable), and to take any and all action for and on behalf of Indemnifying Parties, and each of them, under this Agreement or any other such agreement, document or instrument;

- 92 -



(C)    The power (subject to the provisions of Section 8.3(i) hereof) to contest, negotiate, defend, compromise or settle any Indemnification Claims or Actions for which an Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification through counsel selected by the Securityholder Representative and solely at the cost, risk and expense of the Indemnifying Parties, authorize payment to any Indemnified Party of any of the Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, in satisfaction of any Indemnification Claims, 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 Indemnification Claims, resolve any Indemnification Claims, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the Merger or any other transactions contemplated hereby by arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Indemnifying Party or necessary in the judgment of the Securityholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement;
(D)    The power to consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by him, solely at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Parties;
(E)    The power to review, negotiate and agree to and authorize any payments from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of any payment obligation, in each case, on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, as contemplated thereunder;
(F)    The power to waive or amend any terms and conditions of this Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Indemnifying Parties (other than the payment of the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein); and
(G)    The power to take any actions in regard to such other matters as are reasonably necessary for the consummation of the Merger and any other transactions contemplated hereby or as the Securityholder Representative reasonably believes are in the best interests of the Indemnifying Parties;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, the powers conferred above shall not authorize or empower the Securityholder Representative to do or cause to be done any of the foregoing (i) in a manner that improperly discriminates between or among the Indemnifying Parties or (ii) as to any matter insofar as such matter relates solely and exclusively to a single Indemnifying Party, whereupon the Securityholder Representative may appoint the Indemnifying Party who is alleged to be in breach to handle all matters related to such indemnification claim on behalf of the Securityholder Representative, and all references to the Securityholder Representative in such event shall include also such Indemnifying Party. Without implying that other actions would constitute an improper discrimination, each of the Indemnifying Parties agrees that discrimination between or among Indemnifying Parties solely on the basis of each such Indemnifying Party’s respective Pro Rata Percentage shall not be deemed to be improper. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Securityholder Representative shall not be entitled to, and shall not, take any action that would or could (i) result in the amounts payable hereunder to any Indemnifying Party being distributed in any manner other than as set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) result in an increase of any Indemnifying Party’s indemnity or other obligations or liabilities under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any change to the nature of the indemnity obligations), without (in each case) such Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.
(rr)    Representations of Securityholder Representative. The Securityholder Representative hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

- 93 -



(i)    The Securityholder Representative has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out his obligations hereunder and thereunder.
(ii)    This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Securityholder 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 Securityholder Representative, enforceable against the Securityholder Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and to general equity principles.
(ss)    Securityholder Representative Procedures Upon Receipt of Indemnification Claims. The Securityholder Representative shall have the discretion to take such action as he shall determine to be in the best interest of all of the Indemnifying Parties, including authorizing the distribution to any Indemnified Party of any portion of the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that, in any event, all Indemnifying Parties are treated in substantially the same manner.
(tt)    Notices. Any notice given to the Securityholder Representative after Closing will constitute notice to each and all of the Indemnifying Parties at the time notice is given to the Securityholder Representative. Any action taken by, or notice or instruction received from, the Securityholder Representative will be deemed to be action by, or notice or instruction from, each and all of the Indemnifying Parties. Except as otherwise contained herein, 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 Indemnifying Parties.
(uu)    Agreement of Securityholder Representative. The Securityholder Representative hereby agrees to do such acts, and execute further documents, as shall be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.
(vv)    Reimbursement of Securityholder Representative. At the Closing, the Securityholder Representative Expense Amount shall be deducted from the amounts due to each Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 2.9(e) and transferred to the Securityholder Representative Expense Agent on behalf of the Securityholder Representative to be held in an account separate from that in which any other funds are held, as an expense fund constituting the Securityholder Representative Expense Fund to cover the out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Securityholder Representative in the performance of its duties hereunder. Funds in the Securityholder Representative Expense Fund shall be released from time to time pursuant to the instructions of the Securityholder Representative. Any remaining funds in the Securityholder Representative Expense Fund not used by the Securityholder Representative shall be paid by the Securityholder Representative Expense Agent, as directed by the Securityholder Representative, to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Company Securityholders contributing to the Securityholder Representative Expense Fund and the Surviving Corporation for distribution to the Company Securityholders contributing to the Securityholder Representative Expense Fund for whom employment withholding is required, on a pro rata basis, calculated based on each such holder’s Pro Rata Percentage, upon conclusion of the Securityholder Representative’s duties hereunder.
(ww)    Liability of Securityholder Representative. The Securityholder Representative shall incur no liability of any kind for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Securityholder Representative, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Securityholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Indemnifying Parties shall severally, based on such Indemnifying Parties Pro Rata Percentage as compared to the aggregate Pro Rata Percentages of all Indemnifying Parties (but not jointly)

- 94 -



indemnify the Securityholder Representative and hold the Securityholder Representative harmless 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, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Securityholder Representative’s duties hereunder, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholder Representative, the Securityholder Representative will reimburse the Indemnifying Parties the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Securityholder Representative by the Indemnifying Parties, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Securityholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Securityholder Representative Expense Fund, and (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Fund at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Indemnifying Parties; provided, that while this section allows the Securityholder Representative to be paid from the Securityholder Representative Expense Fund and the Escrow Fund, this does not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Securityholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Securityholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties or otherwise. The Indemnifying Parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.
8.4    Exclusive Remedy. Except for any claims or causes of actions under applicable Legal Requirements arising out of fraud, willful breach and intentional misrepresentation, if the Merger is consummated, the indemnification remedies set forth in this Article 8 shall be the exclusive monetary remedy of any Indemnified Party for any breach by the Company of this Agreement or any agreement, document, schedule, certificate or other instrument required to be delivered by the Company under or pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
8.5    Reliance on Securityholder Representative.  Parent and its respective affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the Securityholder Representative and treat such Securityholder Representative as the duly appointed attorney‑in‑fact of each Indemnifying Party and as having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Agreement. None of Parent or its respective affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) or the Escrow Agent shall be liable to any Indemnifying Party for any actions taken or omitted by them in reliance upon any instructions, notice or other instruments delivered by the Securityholder Representative. No resignation of the Securityholder Representative shall become effective unless at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the replacement or resignation of such Securityholder Representative shall be provided to Parent and the Escrow Agent. Parent and its 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. The Indemnifying Parties holding an aggregate Pro Rata Percentage greater than 50% at such time may replace the Securityholder Representative with another Person identified by such Indemnified Parties in a written instrument delivered to the Securityholder Representative, Parent and the Company. If the Securityholder Representative shall be unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, his successor who shall serve and exercise the powers of the Securityholder Representative hereunder shall be appointed by a written instrument signed by Indemnifying Parties holding an aggregate Pro Rata Percentage greater than 50% at such time and delivered to Parent and the Escrow Agent.

(u)    by mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent;
(v)    by either Parent or the Company, if the Closing Date shall not have occurred by March 24, 2014 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that, if the condition specified in Section 7.1(a) shall not have been satisfied on or prior to such date, either Parent or the Company may elect, by written notice to the other party at least one (1) calendar day prior to such date, and subject to the mutual written agreement of Parent and the Company to a new Outside Date, to extend the Outside Date to a mutually agreed‑upon date; provided further, however that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(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 Merger to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;
(w)    by either Parent or the Company, if: (i) any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law, statute, rule, regulation, executive order or decree which has become final and non‑appealable and which is in effect and which has the effect of making the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibits or otherwise restrains the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued or granted a restraining order or injunction or other order, or other similar legal restraint, in any such case that has the effect of making the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibits or otherwise restrains the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, injunction or restraint shall have become final and nonappealable;
(x)    by Parent, if any Governmental Authority shall have taken any action, or enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced, entered or deemed applicable to the Merger any law, statute, rule, regulation, executive order or decree (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent), that has the effect of (i) prohibiting Parent’s ownership or operation of any portion of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) compelling Parent or the Company to dispose of or hold separate all or any portion of the business or assets of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in any case in connection with the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement;

(z)    by the Company, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement such that, if not cured on or prior to the Closing Date, the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied and such breach has not been cured within twenty (20) calendar days after written notice thereof to Parent, provided, however, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured; or

- 96 -



(aa)    by Parent, if Stockholder Written Consents representing the Requisite Stockholder Approval and Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Company Support Stockholders shall not have been obtained by the Company and delivered to Parent within one (1) hour immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto.
9.2    Effect of Termination.  In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or their respective officers, directors or stockholders; provided, however, that notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, following any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, any party hereto shall remain liable thereafter for any fraud and for any intentional breach of this Agreement that occurred prior to such termination; and provided further, that, the provisions of Section 6.7 (Public Announcements), Section 6.10 (Fees and Expenses), this Section 9.2 and Article 10 shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Article 9.
9.3    Amendments; No Waiver.  Subject to applicable Legal Requirements, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement, or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided however, that, for purposes of this Section 9.3, the Company Securityholders agree that any amendment or waiver of this Agreement signed by the Securityholder Representative shall be binding upon and effective against each of the Company Securityholders whether or not they have signed such amendment or waiver. No course of dealing and no failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such party’s rights, powers and remedies. The failure of any of the parties to this Agreement to require the performance of a term or obligation under this Agreement or the waiver by any of the parties to this Agreement of any breach hereunder shall not prevent subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach hereunder. 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.

- 98 -



for purposes of this Agreement by giving notice of such change as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notices addressed to the Escrow Agent shall be effective only upon receipt. If any notice or document is required to be delivered to the Escrow Agent and any other person, the Escrow Agent may assume without inquiry that each notice or document was received by such other person when it is received by the Escrow Agent.
10.2    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 or transfer any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent in writing of the Company, Parent and the Securityholder Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Parent from merging the Surviving Corporation with and into Parent or assigning any of the rights of Parent hereunder to a direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent following the Effective Time.
10.3    Counterparts; Facsimile.  This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed in two or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manners and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent that such defense relates to lack of authenticity.
10.4    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), it being intended that the rights and privileges of each party 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).
10.5    Specific Performance.  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the parties hereby agree to waive any requirements for posting a bond in connection with any such action.
10.6    Other Remedies.  Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

- 99 -



10.7    Third Parties.  Except as specifically set forth or referred to herein, nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (other than the Indemnified Parties under Article 8, who shall be deemed third party beneficiaries hereunder) any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or any other certificate, document, instrument or agreement executed in connection herewith, or be relied upon by other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors or assigns.
10.8    Governing Law.  This Agreement, including the validity hereof and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, 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 such state (without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof).
10.9    Consent to Jurisdiction.  Without limiting the other provisions of this Section 10.9, the parties hereto agree that any legal proceeding by or against any party hereto or with respect to or arising out of this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in any state or federal court in the State of Delaware. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and to the appellate courts therefrom solely for the purposes of disputes arising under this Agreement and not as a general submission to such jurisdiction or with respect to any other dispute, matter or claim whatsoever. The parties hereto irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of copies thereof by overnight courier to the address for such party to which notices are deliverable hereunder. Any such service of process shall be effective upon delivery. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Agreement brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above‑named courts for any reason, or that it or any of its property is immune from the above‑described legal process, (b) that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that venue for the action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, or (c) any other defense that would hinder or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any party hereto is entitled pursuant to any final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.
10.10    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, including the Disclosure Letter (and all exhibits and schedules thereto), all Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement, and all other agreements referred to herein, is complete, and all promises, representations, understandings, warranties and agreements with reference to the subject matter hereof, have been expressed herein or in such Disclosure Letter, Exhibits, Schedules or other agreements and this Agreement (including such Disclosure Letter, Exhibits, Schedules and other agreements) supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.
10.11    Conflict Waiver.  Notwithstanding that the Company has been represented by Robinson Bradshaw & Hinson, P.A. (the “Firm”) in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the Company agrees that after the Closing the Firm may represent the Securityholder Representative, the Indemnifying Parties and/or their affiliates in matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (any such matter, a “Representation”), including without limitation in respect of any indemnification claims pursuant to this Agreement, provided that neither the Company nor any of its affiliates are current clients of the Firm at the time the Securityholder Representative, the Indemnifying Parties and/or their affiliates seek to engage the firm in the Representation. The Company hereby acknowledges, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, that it has had an opportunity to ask for and has obtained information relevant to such Representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of such

- 100 -



Representation, and, subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, it hereby waives any conflict arising out of such Representation.
10.12    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
