(a)At least two days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a written statement (the “Preliminary Statement”) setting forth the Estimated Closing Working Capital and Estimated Closing Debt, and providing reasonable supporting materials.

The Working Capital and Closing Debt shall be determined in accordance with GAAP and the definitions of Working Capital and Closing Debt.

that the Agent shall have delivered, within 30 days following receipt of the Statement, a written notice to Buyer setting forth the items which the Agent disputes as either not being in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or as having computational errors, specifying in reasonable detail the nature and extent of any such exception (the “Dispute Notice” ). If any change proposed by the Agent is disputed by Buyer, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If, after a period of 30 days, any proposed change remains disputed, the parties shall submit such remaining dispute(s) to the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the“Independent Accounting Firm”). The Independent Accounting Firm shall agree to (i) resolve only disputes between the Buyer and the Agent related to the calculation of the actual amounts of the Working Capital and Closing Debt and (ii) state in a written report that, in its good faith judgment, it has resolved all such disputes in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm for any item in dispute cannot be in excess of the greatest value, or less than the lowest value, claimed for that particular item in Buyer’s calculation of Working Capital and Closing Debt, and Agent’s Dispute Notice. The written report of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. The Independent Accounting Firm shall have the privileges and immunities of arbitrators and shall act in the capacity of arbitrators in connection with the undertakings described above in this Agreement. Working Capital and Closing Debt as deemed agreed upon pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1.4(c), as agreed to by the Agent and Buyer pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 1.4(c) or as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with this Section 1.4(c), shall be termed the “Final Working Capital” and “Final Closing Debt”, respectively. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be paid by the party with the highest Differential.

(d)Subject to Section 6.5(b), upon final determination of Final Working Capital in accordance with Section 1.4(c), if the Final Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, then Buyer shall pay to Agent in cash an amount equal to such excess by wire transfer to the account specified in writing by Agent. Subject to Section 6.5(b), upon final determination of Final Closing Debt in accordance with Section 1.4(c), if the Final Closing Debt is less than the Estimated Closing Debt, then Buyer shall pay to Agent in cash an amount equal to such excess by wire transfer to the account specified in writing by Agent.

(e)Upon final determination of Final Working Capital in accordance with Section 1.4(c), if the Final Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, then Sellers (who shall have joint and several liabilities for such payment) shall pay to Buyer in cash an amount equal to such deficiency by wire transfer to the account specified in writing by Buyer. Upon final determination of Final Closing Debt in accordance with Section 1.4(c), if the Final Closing Debt is greater than the Estimated Closing Debt, then Sellers (who shall have joint and several liabilities for such payment) shall pay to Buyer in cash an amount equal to such excess by wire transfer to the account specified in writing by Buyer.

provided,however, that (A) the foregoing clause (ii) will not prohibit any Seller (or any of his Affiliates) from making generalized searches for employees by the use of advertisements in the media (including trade media) or by engaging search firms to engage in searches that are not targeted or focused on any Restricted Employee or former Restricted Employee (any proscribed act, activity or ownership under clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), after giving effect to this clause (A), a “Restricted Activity”), (B) a Seller will not be in breach of this Section 5.3(a) solely by reason of the beneficial ownership by such Seller (or any Affiliate of such Seller) of less than 2% (for such Seller and all of such Seller’s Affiliates considered in the aggregate) of the capital stock of a Person engaged in a Restricted Activity if such Seller does not control the operation or management of such Person engaged in a Restricted Activity and (C) a Seller will not be in breach of this Section 5.3(a) solely by reason of such Seller’s ownership of an equity interest in mSmart, Organizedwisdom, LLC, a New York limited liability company, and Indigo Design LLC, a New York limited liability company, for so long as such companies are exclusively engaged in the type of business described for such company on Schedule 5.3(a) hereto.

(b)Each Seller agrees, that in addition to the covenants expressly set forth in Section 5.3(a), Section 5.3(a) is hereby deemed (including for purposes of applying Section 5.3(c)) also to include a series of separate covenants (which are hereby deemed to be, and in any event to have the same effect as if, fully set forth in said Section), as follows: (i) in the case of clause (i) of Section 5.3(a), one covenant for each country in the world, one covenant for each state or province (or similar political subdivision, including territories and possessions), county (or similar political subdivision) or city included within each such country and, with respect to each such country, state or province (or similar political subdivision), county (or similar political subdivision) or city, one covenant for each period which commences on the Closing Date and either ends on an anniversary of the Closing Date prior to the last day of, or ends on the last day of, the Restricted Period; (ii) in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 5.3(a), one covenant for each Restricted Employee and, with respect to each Restricted Employee, one covenant for each period which commences on the Closing Date and either ends on an anniversary of the Closing Date prior to the last day of, or ends on the last day of, the Restricted Period; and (iii) in the case of clause (iv) of Section 5.3(a), one covenant for each period which commences on the Closing Date and ends on an anniversary of the Closing Date; with each such separate, additional covenant being deemed to be identical to the applicable restrictive covenant set forth in Section 5.3(a) except as specified in this Section 5.3(b) .

(c)It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under the Laws and public policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Without limitation of any party’s rights under Section 7.7, if any court determines that any provision of this Section 5.3 is unenforceable with respect to any particular jurisdiction, such court will have the power to reduce the duration or scope of (or otherwise modify) such provision, as the case may be, to the minimum extent necessary to render such provision enforceable with respect to such jurisdiction and, in modified form, such provision shall be enforceable; it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing restrictions shall not be terminated, but shall be deemed amended to the extent required to render them valid and enforceable, such amendment to apply only in relation to the particular jurisdiction just mentioned.

5.4 Reasonableness; Injunctive Relief. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 are a reasonable and necessary protection of the immediate interests of Buyer and the Company, and any violation of these restrictions would cause irreparable injury to Buyer and the Company for which monetary damages are inadequate, difficult to compute, or both, and that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement without receiving the consideration offered by Seller in binding himself and his Affiliates to these restrictions. In the event of a breach or a threatened breach by a Seller or his Affiliates of these restrictions, each of Buyer and the Company will be entitled to an injunction restraining such Seller and/or his Affiliates from such breach or threatened breach (without the necessity of proving the inadequacy as a remedy of money damages or the posting of a bond);provided,however, that the right to injunctive relief will not be construed as prohibiting Buyer or the Company from pursuing any other available remedies, whether at law or in equity, for such breach or threatened breach.

5.5 Legend.

(the “Corporation”) and the Rights Agent thereunder (the “Rights Agreement”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal offices of the Corporation. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such Rights will be evidenced by separate certificates and will no longer be evidenced by this certificate. The Corporation will mail to the holder of this certificate a copy of the Rights Agreement, as in effect on the date of mailing, without charge, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor. Under certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Agreement, Rights issued to, or held by, any Person who is, was or becomes an Acquiring

Person or any Affiliate or Associate thereof (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement), whether currently held by or on behalf of such Person or by any subsequent holder, may become null and void.

5.6 Right of First Refusal. Each Seller covenants and agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly, transfer, assign, convey, sell, subject to any Lien or otherwise transfer, whether or not by operation of Law (each, a “Transfer”), any of the TSC Stock to any other Person, except (i) with Buyer’s prior written consent, (ii) as provided in this Section 5.6 or (iii) to any Family Member of such Seller, provided that the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to apply to such TSC Stock after any Transfer pursuant to clause (iii) above and each transferee of such TSC Stock shall agree in writing, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of such Transfer, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, without modification or condition, subject only to the consummation of the Transfer. Upon any Transfer of TSC Stock pursuant to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the transferor will deliver a written notice to the Company and the other parties to this Agreement, which notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of such transferee(s) and shall include an original counterpart of the agreement of such transferee(s) to be bound by this Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer. In the event that any Seller has received a bona fide offer from a non-Affiliated Person (the “Proposed Transferee”) to, directly or indirectly, assign, convey or otherwise transfer, whether or not by operation of Law, to the Proposed Transferee any of the TSC Stock (the “Offered TSC Stock”) solely for cash fully payable at closing (any such offer, a “Qualifying Offer”), and such Seller desires to accept such Qualifying Offer, Seller shall give prompt written notice to such effect (the “First Refusal Notice”) to Buyer. The First Refusal Notice shall specify such Seller’s bona fide desire to sell the Offered TSC Stock to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to the Qualifying Offer, the identity of the Proposed Transferee, the number of shares constituting the Offered TSC Stock, the proposed price per share of Offered TSC Stock and any other terms and conditions of such proposed transaction. The First Refusal Notice shall constitute a non-rescindable offer by such Seller to Buyer to sell any or all of the Offered TSC Stock on the price and terms and conditions set forth in the First Refusal Notice. Buyer, if it desires to accept such offer, shall, within 30 days after receiving the First Refusal Notice, give Seller written notice to such effect, specifying whether it desires to purchase all or a portion of the Offered TSC Stock (the “Acceptance Notice”). If (a) Buyer does not give to the relevant Seller the Acceptance Notice within such 30-day period or (b) the Acceptance Notice relates to a portion but not all of the Offered TSC Stock, then, at any time within 15 days following the expiration of the time period for the giving of the Acceptance Notice, such Seller may assign, convey, sell or otherwise transfer, in the case of clause (a) of this Section 5.6, the Offered TSC Stock, and in the case of clause (b) of this Section 5.6, the portion of the Offered TSC Stock not covered by the Acceptance Notice, to the Proposed Transferee but only on such terms and conditions that are no more favorable to the Proposed Transferee than the terms included in the First Refusal Notice and only at a price that is equal to or higher than the price stated in the First Refusal Notice, provided that such right of such Seller to assign, convey, sell or otherwise transfer the Offered TSC Stock (or a portion thereof) shall expire at the end of such 15-day period and the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.6 shall apply to any such future assignment, conveyance, sale or other transfer. In the event that Buyer gives the relevant Seller an Acceptance Notice, then, on such business day as Buyer shall set forth in the Acceptance Notice, which shall be not less than five days nor more than 30 days after the giving of the Acceptance Notice, Buyer shall purchase from such Seller, and such Seller shall sell to Buyer (or its designee), the Offered TSC Stock (or the

portion thereof as specified in the Acceptance Notice), free and clear of all Liens for the price stated in the First Refusal Notice and upon the other terms and conditions of the First Refusal Notice.

5.7 Certain Tax Matters. (a) The parties acknowledge that for U.S. Federal income tax purposes the Company shall be deemed to have terminated as of the Closing Date and the Company’s taxable year shall close on the Closing Date. The Agent will cause to be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice all partnership income Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (any such period, a “Pre-Closing Period”). The Company’s income Tax Return for the period ending on the Closing Date will include an election under Section 754 of the Code. No later than 30 days prior to the filing of any such Tax Returns, the Agent shall provide to Buyer advance copies of such Tax Returns for review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). Sellers will pay, and will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) from and against any Taxes imposed with respect to any Pre-Closing Period to the extent such Taxes exceed the accruals for such Taxes reflected in the Final Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.4) .

(b)Buyer shall cause to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns of the Company for taxable periods beginning prior to but ending after the Closing Date (any such period, a “Straddle Period”). Sellers will pay, and will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) from and against any Taxes allocable to the portion of a Straddle Period which ends on the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes exceed the accruals for such Taxes reflected in the Final Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.4) . For purposes of this Section 5.7(b), in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such tax period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire tax period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire tax period and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant tax period ended on the Closing Date, except that exemptions, allowances and deductions (such as depreciation deductions) calculated on an annual basis shall be prorated between the portion of the applicable Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date and the portion after the Closing Date on a per diem basis. Except to the extent that such Taxes were reflected as an asset of the Company in the Final Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.4), any Taxes for a Straddle Period paid prior to the Closing Date shall be deducted from the Sellers’ liability pursuant to this Section 5.7(b), and to the extent in excess of such liability, will be refunded to the Sellers by the Buyer.

(c)In the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives notice of any examination, claim, adjustment, or other proceeding with respect to the liability for any Taxes for which the Sellers are or may be liable under Section 5.7(a) or (b), Buyer shall promptly notify the Agent in writing thereof;provided,however, that the failure to promptly give such notice shall not relieve the Sellers of their indemnity obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Sellers’ rights to contest the examination, claim, adjustment, or other proceeding are

thereby materially prejudiced. As to any examination, claim, adjustment or other proceeding relating to a taxable period of the Company that ends on or before the Closing Date, the Agent shall be entitled at the Sellers’ expense to control the contest of such examination, claim, adjustment, or other proceeding;provided,however, that the Agent may not, without the consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), agree to any settlement that could result in an increase in the amount of Taxes for which Buyer or any of its Affiliates are not entitled to indemnification hereunder. With respect to any examination, claim, adjustment, or other proceeding with respect to a Straddle Period, Buyer shall control the contest of such examination, claim, adjustment, or other proceeding, provided that Buyer may not, without the prior consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), agree to any settlement that could result in an increase in the amount of Taxes for which the Sellers are liable under Section 5.7(a) or (b). The parties shall cooperate with each other and with their respective Affiliates, and will consult with each other, in the conduct, negotiation and settlement of any proceeding described in this Section 5.7(c) .

(d)Except as otherwise provided by this Section 5.7(d), the Sellers will be entitled to retain, or receive prompt payment from the Buyer or the Company of, any refund or credit of Taxes for which the Sellers are responsible pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or (b), plus any interest received with respect thereto from the relevant Taxing Authority;provided,however, that Buyer or the Company shall be entitled to retain any refund resulting from a carry back of any loss or other attribute arising in any period (or portion thereof) after the Closing Date. The Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and the Company from and against any Taxes imposed as a result of a subsequent disallowance of any refund for which Buyer or the Company has reimbursed Sellers. The Buyer will, if the Sellers so request and at their expense, cause the Company to promptly file for and obtain any refunds or credits to which the Sellers are entitled under this section 5.7(d) .

(e)Sellers will pay, and will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Company, Buyer and its Affiliates from and against any transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, stamp, value-added and other similar taxes (including all applicable real property and other gains taxes), including any penalties, interest and additions to tax, imposed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”). The Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate in timely making and filing any Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to Transfer Taxes.

(f)Buyer and the Sellers shall negotiate in good faith following the Closing to agree on the allocation of the Final Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Company among the assets of the Company and the covenants in Section 5.3 (provided that the allocation for such covenants shall be in accordance with Section 1.1(c)) . If the Buyer and the Sellers agree on such allocation (the “Allocation”), the Allocation will be conclusive and final for all purposes of this Agreement. Buyer and Sellers will each report the federal, state and local income and other Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Allocation and cooperate in the preparation and filing of IRS Form 8594 under Section 1060 of the Code (or any successor form or successor provision of any future Tax law, or any comparable provisions of state, or local Tax law), with their respective federal, state and local income Tax Returns for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date.

5.8 Benefit of Covenants. The covenants of the Sellers set forth in Sections 5.1 through 5.7 of this Article V are for the several benefit of (and without limiting the foregoing, may severally be enforced by) each of Buyer and (except for Sections 5.5 and 5.6) the Company, and their respective successors and assigns.

ARTICLE VI

SURVIVAL, INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Survival. All of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document shall survive indefinitely (and not be affected in any respect by) the consummation of the Closing and any investigation conducted by any party hereto and any information which any party may receive (or was capable of acquiring) or knowledge he or it may have (or was capable of acquiring), in each case, whether prior to or after the date of this Agreement and whether prior to or after the Closing (it being understood and agreed that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 6.1, such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive indefinitely). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in Article III hereof and the indemnity obligat ions for the inaccuracy or breach of such representations and warranties contained in Section 6.2(a) shall terminate on, and no Claim with respect thereto may be brought after, the second anniversary of the Closing Date;provided,however, that: (i) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1 (Organization and Power), 3.4 (Capitalization), 3.8 (Arrangements with Related Persons), and 3.17 (Brokers), and the indemnity obligations for the inaccuracy or breach of such representations and warranties contained in Section 6.2(a), shall survive indefinitely; and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.20 (Employee Benefit Plans) and 3.21 (Taxes) and the indemnity obligations for the inaccuracy or breach of such representations and warranties contained in Section 6.2(a) shall survive until the expiration of the statute of limitation applicable to the matter to which such representation or warranty relates. The representations and warranties and the applicable in demnity obligations with respect thereto pursuant to this Article VI for the inaccuracy or breach thereof that terminate pursuant to this Section 6.1, shall not terminate with respect to any Claim, whether or not fixed as to liability or liquidated as to amount, with respect to which the Agent (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.2) or Buyer (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.3) has been given written notice from the Buyer (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.2) or the Agent (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.3) setting forth the facts upon which the claim for indemnification is based prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period.

6.2 Indemnification by Sellers. Each Seller jointly and severally covenants to indemnify Buyer, the Company, each Affiliate of the Buyer or the Company at any time after the Closing and the respective officers, managers, directors, employees and agents of each of the foregoing at any time after the Closing (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) against, and agrees to hold each Buyer Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all losses, damages, settlement payments, interest, fines or penalties and costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (“Losses”) incurred or suffered by such Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or relating to any of the following:

(a)(x) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of any Seller contained in Article III or IV hereof or in any certificate required to be delivered with respect thereto, the existence of any such inaccuracy or breach being determined for this purpose (except with respect to Section 3.7(b) and the last sentence of Section 3.6) without giving effect to any materiality qualification (including qualifications indicating accuracy in all material respects) or “Material Adverse Effect” qualification (including, without limitation, qualifications indicating accuracy with such exceptions as have not, will not, would not, are not reasonably likely to, or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) set forth in such representations and warranties, or (y) any third party Claim based upon facts alleged that, if true, would constitute such a breach or inaccuracy;

(b)any breach of or failure by any Seller to perform any covenant or obligation of such Seller contained in this Agreement;

(c)mSmart, including without limitation the dividend of all the shares of mSmart common stock;

(d)Digital Lab Solutions, including without limitation the Digital Lab Solutions Sale; and

(e)the Specified Receivables Transfer.

Each Seller specifically acknowledges and agrees that any Buyer Indemnified Party may proceed against any Seller under this Section 6.2 without contemporaneously, or at any time, proceeding against any other Seller.

6.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer covenants to indemnify Sellers, their respective Affiliates at any time after the Closing and the respective officers, directors, employees and agents of each of the foregoing at any time after the Closing (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”, and, together with the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Persons”) against, and agrees to hold each Seller Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all Losses incurred or suffered by such Seller Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or relating to any of the following:

(a) (x) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in Article II hereof, or (y) any third party Claim based upon facts alleged that, if true, would constitute such a breach or inaccuracy; and

(b) any breach of or failure by Buyer to perform any covenant or obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement.

6.4 Limitations on Liability.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than in the case of fraud, the cumulative aggregate indemnity obligation of the Sellers under Section 6.2 hereof shall in no event exceed the Final Purchase Price.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Sellers shall not have any liability under Section 6.2(a) hereof, but only insofar as such liability relates to a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty contained in Article III, other than with respect to the Special Representations, until the cumulative aggregate amount of Losses for which the Sellers, but for this sentence, otherwise would be liable under said portion of Section 6.2(a) exceeds $200,000 (the “Basket Amount”), after which the Sellers shall then be liable for the full amount of all such Losses (including without limitation such Losses up to the Basket Amount).

(c)The amount of any Loss for which indemnification otherwise is provided under Section 6.2(a) hereof shall be reduced by the amount of any reserve or other liability reflected in the Final Working Capital after the resolution of all disputes in connection therewith in accordance herewith specifically in respect of such Loss, but only to the extent such reserve or other liability has not previously been applied against Losses pursuant to this sentence.

6.5 Claims; Payment.

(a)As promptly as is reasonably practicable after an Indemnified Person becomes aware of a Claim for indemnification under this Agreement not involving a Third Party Claim, Buyer (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.2) or the Agent (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.3) shall give notice to the Agent (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.2) or Buyer (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.3) of such Claim, which notice shall specify the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such Claim, the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations alleged to have been inaccurate or have been breached, if any, and, to the extent practicable, the amount that the Indemnified Person seeks hereunder from one or both of the Sellers (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.2) or from Buyer (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.3) (the relevant Seller or Sellers, or Buyer, as the case may be, the “Indemnifying Person");provided,however, that the failure of the Buyer or Agent, as the case may be, to give such prompt notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article VI to such Indemnified Person except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person shall have been materially prejudiced thereby (and, in any event, any such relief shall apply only with respect to such specific Claim for indemnification).

(b)The Indemnifying Person shall pay the Indemnified Person in immediately available funds on an as incurred basis promptly after the Buyer or Agent, as the case may be, provides the Indemnifying Person with written notice of a Claim pursuant to this Agreement. Without limitation of Buyer’s rights under the Escrow Agreement, Buyer shall have the right in its discretion from time to time to apply (by means of set-off, reduction or otherwise) any amount then payable by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to any Seller under this Agreement or any Transaction Document against, or otherwise to hold back all or any portion of any such amount then so payable by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to any Seller to provide for the payment of, all or any portion of any amount payable, or in good faith asserted by Buyer to be payable, by any Seller or Sellers to any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Article 6. Any amount which is in fact payable, or in the good faith opinion of Buyer is reasonably likely in the future to become payable, to any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 6, shall be considered to be “payable” within the meaning of the preceding sentence of this Section 6.5(b) . It is understood and agreed that to the extent Buyer is entitled to indemnification hereunder and determines in its

sole discretion to accept satisfaction of such indemnification obligation with TSC Stock, such stock shall be valued at $11.88 per share subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any increase or decrease in the number of such shares of common stock of TSC resulting from a stock split, stock combination or the payment of a stock dividend with respect to such shares or other similar event.

6.6 Notice of Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense. Buyer (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.2) or the Agent (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.3) shall give notice (“Third Party Claim Notice”) as promptly as is reasonably practicable to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Claim by any Person not a party hereto against an Indemnified Person (a “Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought by an Indemnified Person under this Agreement (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount, to the extent practicable, of such Third Party Claim);provided,however, that the failure of Buyer or the Agent to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article VI to such Indemnified Person except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person shall have been materially prejudiced thereby (and, in any event, any such relief shall apply only with respect to such specific Third Party Claim). If (i) in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.2(a), the Basket Amount has been exceeded or is not applicable (or the Indemnifying Person, within the 15-day period referred to below in this sentence, irrevocably and unconditionally waives the applicability of the Basket Amount to the Third Party Claim) and (ii) the Indemnifying Person confirms in writing to Buyer (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.2) or the Agent (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.3) within 15 days after receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice the Indemnifying Person’s responsibility to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Person therefor and within such 15-day period demonstrates to Buyer’s (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.2) or the Agent’s (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.3) reasonable satisfaction that, as of such time, the Indemnifying Person has sufficient financial resources in order to indemnify for the full amount of any potential liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person may elect to assume control over the compromise or defense of such Third Party Claim at such Indemnifying Person’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Person’s own counsel, which counsel will be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.2) or the Agent (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.3) . If the Indemnifying Person so elects to assume control over the compromise and defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall within such 15 days (or sooner, if the nature of the asserted Third Party Claim so requires) notify Buyer (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.2) or the Agent (in the case of a Claim pursuant to Section 6.3) of such Indemnifying Person’s intent to do so, and the Indemnified Person shall cooperate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, in the compromise of, or defense against, such Third Party Claim;provided,however, that: (i) the Indemnified Person may, if such Indemnified Person so desires, employ counsel at such Indemnified Person’s own expense to assist in the handling (but not control the defense) of any Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall keep the Indemnified Person advised of all material events with respect to any Third Party Claim; (iii) the Indemnifying Person shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Person before ceasing to defend against any Third Party Claim or entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such Third Party Claim involving injunctive or similar equitable relief or other non-monetary relief against any Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates; and (iv) no Indemnifying Person will, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Person (with respect to Third-Party Claims (A) not involving injunctive or

similar equitable relief or other non-monetary relief being asserted against the Indemnified Person, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (B) involving injunctive or similar equitable relief or other non-monetary relief being asserted against the Indemnified Person, such approval may be withheld, conditioned or delayed for any or no reason), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened action in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any such Indemnified Person is a party to such action), unless such settlement, compromise or consent by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Person to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, includes an unconditional release of all such Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such Third Party Claim, and will not involve the finding or admission of any violation of Law by the Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to have sole control over (and if it so desires, the Indemnified Person shall have sole control over) the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of (but the Indemnifying Person shall nevertheless be required to pay all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise but only to the extent the Indemnifying Person is required to indemnify for such Losses in accordance with this Agreement): (i) any Third Party Claim that seeks an order, injunction or other equitable or non-monetary relief against any Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates; (ii) any Claim that is the subject of such Third Party Claim in which both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person are named as parties and either the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person determines with advice of counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the other party or that a conflict of interest between such parties may exist in respect of such Claim; (iii) any Claim that is the subject of such Third Party Claim after such time as the aggregate amount of Losses for which Sellers are required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 6.2 (including without limitation the Losses related to such Third Party Claim) are reasonably expected to exceed the Final Purchase Price; and (iv) any Claim that is the subject of such Third Party Claim relating to Taxes of Buyer or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates. If the Indemnifying Person elects not to assume (or is precluded by the terms hereof from assuming) control over the compromise or the defense of such Third Party Claim, fails to timely and properly notify the Indemnified Person of its election as herein provided, or, at any time after assuming such defense, fails to diligently defend against such Third Party Claim in good faith or fails to have sufficient financial resources to pay the full amount of such potential liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person may, at the Indemnifying Person’s expense, pay, compromise or defend against such Third Party Claim (but the Indemnifying Person shall nevertheless be required to pay all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise but only to the extent the Indemnifying Person is required to indemnify for such Losses in accordance with this Agreement).

6.7 Purchase Price Adjustments. To the extent permitted by Law, any amounts payable under this Article VI shall be treated by Buyer and Sellers as an adjustment to the Base Purchase Price.

6.8 Application to Taxes. This Article VI shall have no application to indemnification claims with respect to Taxes that are subject to Section 5.7, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 5.7.

ARTICLE VII

7.3 No Third Party Beneficiary; Assignment. Except as expressly provided in Article VI with respect to Buyer Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties and subject to the last sentence of this Section 7.3, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Buyer may assign any of its rights or interests hereunder after the Closing without the consent of any Seller or the Agent,provided,further, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Agreement shall be null and voidabinitio. For the avoidance of doubt, anything in this Section 7.3(a) (or Article VI) to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Buyer and Agent each may make indemnification claims on behalf of, and otherwise act of behalf of, one or more Buyer Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties, respectively, as contemplated by Article VI hereof and (ii) Buyer may assign or delegate to the Company (or any of its successors or assigns), all rights or obligations, respectively, of Buyer under Article VI in respect of the Company as an Indemnified Person.

7.5 Modifications, Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by each party hereto. Any party hereto may, only by an instrument in writing and only as to itself, waive compliance by any

other party hereto with any term or provision hereof on the part of such other party hereto to be performed or complied with. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any term or provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
