In addition, the Company and the First Surviving Corporation shall take all necessary action such that, at the First Effective Time, the bylaws of the First Surviving Corporation shall be amended so as to read in their entirety as the bylaws of Sub as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time and, as amended, such bylaws shall be the bylaws of the First Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(c) Subject to Section 6.07, (i) the certificate of formation of the Surviving Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, shall be the certificate of formation of the Surviving Company at the Second Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the DLLC and as provided in such certificate of formation and (ii) the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, shall be the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company at the Second Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the DLLC and as provided in such limited liability company agreement.

(i) At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without the necessity of further action by the Company, Sub or any other person, the directors of Sub immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall become the directors of the First Surviving Corporation, each to hold office, from and after the First Effective Time, in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the First Surviving Corporation until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the First Surviving Corporation.

(ii) The officers of Sub immediately prior to the First Effective Time, from and after the First Effective Time, shall continue as the officers of the First Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the First Surviving Corporation until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the First Surviving Corporation.

(iv) The officers of Purchaser immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, from and after the Second Effective Time, shall continue as the officers of the Surviving Company, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of formation and limited liability company operating agreement of the Surviving Company until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of formation and limited liability company operating agreement of the Surviving Company.

As of the First Effective Time, all Series A Preferred Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such Series A Preferred Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right, following the surrender of such certificate, to receive the applicable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration, plus any amounts or other consideration, if any, to be distributed in respect of Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 2.02(d), Section 6.09(f) or Section 9.07, in each case, in accordance with, and subject to the conditions of, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(iv) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock (a “Common Share”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than (x) shares of Company Common Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii) and (y) shares of Company Common Stock which are Appraisal Shares, in each case, which shall not constitute “Common Shares” for any purpose under this Agreement) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration allocable to such Common Share, pursuant to the Company Charter as set forth in (and in the form set forth in) the Funding Consideration Schedule, which amounts will be payable in accordance with this Agreement, plus any amounts or other consideration, if any, to be paid in respect of Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 2.02(d), Section 6.09(f) or Section 9.07) or the Escrow Agreement.

(b) At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any of the parties hereto or holders of any securities of the First Surviving Corporation or of Purchaser, (i) each equity interest of Purchaser issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall remain outstanding as an equity interest of

the Surviving Company and (ii) all shares of common stock of the First Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any consideration being payable therefor.

(c) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and that are held by a holder who has not voted to adopt this Agreement or consented thereto in writing, has the right to demand and has properly demanded payment for and an appraisal of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) and perfected such holder’s demand for appraisal rights with respect to such shares (such shares, “Appraisal Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(a)(iii) or Section 2.01(a)(iv), but rather such holder shall be entitled only to payment of the appraisal value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262. At the First Effective Time, all Appraisal Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Appraisal Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except rights afforded to holders of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise, prior to the judicial appraisal determination, waives, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 (whether occurring before, at or after the First Effective Time) or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such holder is not entitled to relief provided by Section 2.02, then the rights of such holder under Section 262 shall cease and each such Appraisal Share shall be deemed to have been converted as of the First Effective Time (“Converted Appraisal Shares”) into, and shall have become exchangeable solely for, the right to receive (without interest thereon) the applicable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(a)(iii) or Section 2.01(a)(iv), plus any amounts or other consideration, if any, to be paid in respect of Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 2.02(d), Section 6.09(f) or Section 9.07) or the Escrow Agreement. The Company shall serve prompt written notice to Parent of any written demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Capital Stock, any attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal under the DGCL, in each case, received by the Company in writing prior to the Closing, and the Company shall provide Parent the opportunity to reasonably participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. The Company shall enforce to the extent necessary any contractual waivers that any holder of shares of Company Capital Stock may have granted regarding appraisal rights that would apply to the First Merger or otherwise with respect to the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if there are Appraisal Shares at Closing, Parent may reduce the amount of any payment to the Exchange Agent or the Escrow Agent at the Closing by an amount equal to the consideration otherwise due to such Appraisal Shares pursuant to Section 2.01(a) (and subsequently make payment to the Exchange Agent or Escrow Agent for any Converted Appraisal Shares).

SECTION 2.02 Merger Consideration Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Price Components. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a certificate (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) prepared in good faith (and in consultation with Parent), and signed on behalf of the Company by the chief financial officer of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail (including all work sheets, account reconciliations and roll-forward schedules used in the preparation of the estimates reflected in the Estimated Closing Statement, and, promptly upon request, other reasonable supporting documentation showing the calculation of such estimates) the Company’s best estimates of (i) the estimated amount of Company Cash and Cash Equivalents as of the Close of Business on the Closing Calculation Date (such estimate, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.02(a), the “Estimated Cash”), (ii) the estimated amount of Indebtedness outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Closing Calculation Date (such estimate, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.02(a), the “Estimated Indebtedness”), (iii) the estimated amount of Deferred Revenue as of the Close of Business on the Closing Calculation Date (such estimate, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.02(a), the “Estimated Deferred Revenue”), (iv) the estimated amount of Transaction Expenses as of the Close of Business on the Closing Calculation Date, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all amounts for Transaction Expenses that will become payable in connection with the consummation of the Mergers on the Closing Date (such estimate, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.02(a), the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”), (v) the estimated Net Working Capital as of the Close of Business on the Closing Calculation Date (such estimate, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.02(a), the “Estimated Net Working Capital” and, together with the Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Deferred Revenue and Estimated Transaction Expenses, “Estimated Price Components”) and (vi) based on the Estimated Price Components, a calculation of the Closing Merger Consideration, in each case prepared on a basis consistent with the Balance Sheet Principles. In the event that Parent notifies the Company prior to the Closing that Parent in good faith disputes the Company’s estimate of any Estimated Price Component, then the Company shall consider in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as practicable, and, if so resolved, modify the Estimated Price Components as appropriate to reflect any agreed adjustments thereto, and the Estimated Price Components (and corresponding calculation of the Closing Merger Consideration) shall be deemed to reflect any such agreed modifications; provided, that the Closing shall not be delayed in the event of any dispute about such Estimated Price Components.

(b) Closing Price Components. As promptly as practicable, but in any case no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be prepared in accordance with the Balance Sheet Principles, signed on behalf of Parent by a duly authorized officer of Parent and delivered to the Stockholder Representative a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) and a certificate based on such Closing Statement setting forth Parent’s good faith calculation of (i) the Company Cash and Cash Equivalents as of the Close of Business on the Closing Calculation Date (“Closing Cash”), (ii) the amount of Indebtedness outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Closing Calculation Date (“Closing Indebtedness”), (iii) the amount of Deferred Revenue as of the Close of Business on the Closing Calculation Date (the “Closing Deferred Revenue”), (iv) the Transaction Expenses as of the Close of Business on the Closing Calculation Date, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all amounts for Transaction Expenses that will become payable in connection with the consummation of the Mergers on the Closing Date (“Closing Transaction Expenses”), (v) Net Working Capital as of the Close of Business on the Closing Calculation Date (the “Closing Net Working Capital” and, together with the Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Deferred Revenue and Closing Transaction Expenses, the “Price

Components”), in each case calculated in accordance with the Balance Sheet Principles and (vi) a calculation of the Final Merger Consideration. If Parent fails to deliver the Closing Statement within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, then the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to specific performance pursuant to Section 10.09 to cause Parent to promptly deliver the Closing Statement pursuant to this Section 2.02(b).

(c) Disputes. (i) If the Stockholder Representative disagrees with the Closing Statement or Parent’s calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Deferred Revenue, Closing Transaction Expenses or Closing Net Working Capital in the Closing Statement, the Stockholder Representative may, within forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Stockholder Representative of the Closing Statement and such calculations, deliver a notice (if timely delivered in accordance with this sentence, a “Disagreement Notice”) to Parent providing reasonable detail of the reason for any disagreement and setting forth the Stockholder Representative’s calculation of such disputed amount, which Disagreement Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the items contained in the Closing Statement that the Stockholder Representative disputes in good faith and the reason for disputing such disputed item; provided that the Disagreement Notice may only include disputes (and changes to the Price Components may only be) based on (A) a failure of the Price Components to be determined in accordance with this Agreement, the Balance Sheet Principles or the applicable defined terms of (or incorporated into) the Price Components or (B) mathematical errors in the Closing Statement. The Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement that are not properly disputed in a timely delivered Disagreement Notice and (subject to any such disputes) the calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Closing Net Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(b).

(ii) In connection with the determination of the Price Components pursuant to Section 2.02(b), during the forty-five (45)-day period following the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement, Parent shall afford, and shall cause the Surviving Company to afford, to the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives, at the Stockholder Representative’s expense (on behalf of the Securityholders) and upon reasonable request, reasonable access during Parent’s normal business hours (or such other times as the parties may agree) to the appropriate personnel, outside advisors, books and records and other information (including, working papers) of Parent and Parent’s independent accountant as they may reasonably require for the purposes of resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised concerning the Closing Statement or the calculation of the Price Components (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested by Parent’s accountant).

(iii) If a Disagreement Notice is delivered in accordance with this Section 2.02(c), the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall, during the thirty (30)-day period following such delivery, seek in good faith to reach agreement on the properly disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of each Price Component subject to such Disagreement Notice and any written resolutions, signed by each of Parent and the Stockholder Representative, of such disputed items or amounts shall be final, conclusive and binding, upon Parent, the Stockholder Representative and the Securityholders. At the end of such period, if the Stockholder Representative and Parent are unable to reach such agreement, they shall as promptly as practicable thereafter cause FTI Consulting, Inc. (the “Designated Referee”), or if the Designated Referee is unwilling or unable to serve in such capacity, such other nationally

recognized independent public accounting firm or financial consulting firm as shall be agreed upon in writing by the Stockholder Representative and Parent (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the Designated Referee or such other nationally recognized independent accounting firm or financial consulting firm engaged pursuant to this Section 2.02(c)(iii), the “Referee”). The Stockholder Representative and Parent shall enter into a customary engagement letter with the Referee and instruct the Referee to review the relevant portions of this Agreement, the Closing Statement and the properly disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Price Components (and Parent shall not advocate any positions more adverse to Securityholders than the amounts reflected in the Closing Statement and the Stockholder Representative shall not advocate any positions more adverse to Parent than the amounts reflected in the Disagreement Notice). In making such calculation, the Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Statement, and Parent’s calculation of the Price Components, as to which the Stockholder Representative has properly disagreed in a Disagreement Notice and which have not been resolved pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.02(c)(iii), and shall apply the relevant provisions of this Agreement to such properly disputed amounts. The Stockholder Representative and Parent shall instruct the Referee to deliver to the Stockholder Representative and Parent, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of engagement of the Referee), a report setting forth its calculation (in accordance with this Section 2.02) of the applicable Price Components; provided, however, that the Referee may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value claimed by a party for such item or less than the smallest value claimed by a party for such item, in the case of Parent, in the Closing Statement, or in the case of the Stockholder Representative, in the Disagreement Notice. Such report shall be final and binding upon the parties (and the Securityholders) and non-appealable with respect to the determination of the Price Components and any adjustments to the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) absent fraud, bad faith or manifest error. The costs and expenses of the Referee shall be borne in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Referee that are unsuccessfully disputed by Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, as finally determined by the Referee, bears to the total dollar amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted.

(iv) The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Referee shall be limited to (A) whether the Price Components reflected in the Closing Statement (in each case, as adjusted to reflect any agreements between Parent and Stockholder Representative) were calculated in accordance with this Agreement, including the Balance Sheet Principles and the applicable defined terms of (or incorporated into) the Price Components with respect to the matters that were submitted for resolution to the Referee and (B) whether there were mathematical errors in the Closing Statement with respect to such Price Components. The Referee is not authorized to, and shall not, make any other determination, including any determination with respect to any matter included in the Closing Statement or the Disagreement Notice that was not submitted for resolution to the Referee.

(d) Final Merger Consideration. Upon final resolution of the Price Components in accordance with Section 2.02(b) and (c), the parties shall calculate the Final Merger Consideration. “Final Merger Consideration” means, consideration in an amount equal to the (a) sum of (i) the Base Consideration, (ii) the Closing Cash, (iii) the Aggregate Option Exercise Price and (iv) the amount, if any, by which the Closing Net Working Capital is over the Target Net

Working Capital, minus (b) the sum of (i) Closing Indebtedness, (ii) the Deferred Revenue Adjustment, (iii) the Closing Transaction Expenses, (iv) the amount, if any, by which the Closing Net Working Capital is below the Target Net Working Capital, (v) the Escrow Amount and (vi) Stockholder Representative Expense Fund Amount paid by Parent at Closing in accordance with Section 6.09(f).

(i) If the Final Merger Consideration is less than the Closing Merger Consideration (such amount, the “Deficiency Amount”), Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute to Parent promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the Final Merger Consideration being finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.02) an amount equal to such Deficiency Amount from the Escrow Funds; provided, that Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute such amount first from the Escrow Funds that is cash and then from the Escrow Funds that is not in the form of cash. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent’s sole and exclusive source of recovery with respect to any Deficiency Amount shall be recovery from the Escrow Funds and neither Parent nor the Surviving Company nor any of their respective affiliates shall have any claim against any Securityholder in respect thereof with respect to such adjustment following the release of the Escrow Funds, and none of the Securityholders, the Stockholder Representative or any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability for any amounts due pursuant to this Section 2.02, except to the extent of the Escrow Funds.

(ii) If the Final Merger Consideration is greater than the Closing Merger Consideration (such amount, the “Surplus Amount”), (x) Parent shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the Final Merger Consideration being finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.02) pay the Surplus Amount, in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Exchange Agent (such amount, the “Final Surplus”) and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay (A) to each person that immediately prior to the First Effective Time held Company Capital Stock (other than any Appraisal Shares) that has surrendered Certificates in accordance with Section 2.05, an amount equal to the product of (1) such person’s percentage ownership as set forth on the Funding Consideration Schedule and (2) the Final Surplus, (B) to the Surviving Company for the purpose of making payments pursuant to Section 2.04 to the former holders of In-the-Money Options that were canceled as provided in Section 2.04, an amount equal to the product of (1) the aggregate percentage ownership, as set forth on the Funding Consideration Schedule, of the former holders of the In-the-Money Options so canceled and (2) the Final Surplus, and (C) to the Surviving Company, any amounts remaining unpaid after giving effect to the foregoing payments. With respect to amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) in respect of In-the-Money Options, payment shall be made in accordance with Section 2.04(b).

(iii) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall be treated as an adjustment to the aggregate Merger Consideration for all applicable Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(e) Funding Consideration Schedule; Payoff Letters; Invoices. Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent:

(i) a certificate (prepared in good faith by the Company in consultation with Parent) executed on behalf of the Company by the chief financial officer of the Company in

substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Funding Consideration Schedule”), that sets forth with respect to each holder of Equity Interests in the Company a correct and complete list of (A) all outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock held by each such person (as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time) and whether such holder has provided the Investor Suitability Documentation and whether such holder has been determined to be an Accredited Investor or an Unaccredited Investor, (B) any other Equity Interests of the Company held by such person (as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time), including the exercise price of each In-the-Money Option, (C) consistent in all respects with the Estimated Price Components and the Closing Merger Consideration, the aggregate consideration (and form thereof) payable to each such person from and after the First Effective Time under this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 2.02(d) or Section 9.07 or the Escrow Agreement, and before withholding Taxes, if any), subject to any further modification with respect to amounts paid to Optionholders required if the Parent Common Stock Value is greater than the Parent Common Stock Closing Reference Value, such modifications to be reflected in an update promptly following the determination of the Parent Common Stock Closing Reference Value; provided, further, that the allocation of the payment of the Merger Consideration shall be paid in accordance with the following: (i) subject to (and taking into account) the portion of the cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.04 and Section 2.06, the Closing Merger Consideration shall be payable (x) 46.67% in the form of Parent Common Stock, valued at the Parent Common Stock Value and (y) 53.33% in the form of cash, in each case as set forth on the Funding Consideration Schedule (such allocation referenced in clauses (x) and (y), the “Intended Merger Consideration Allocation”), (D) each Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount, the number of Escrow Shares contributed to the Stock Escrow Account on behalf of each Securityholder, each Securityholers’ Escrow Stock Pro Rata Share, and each Securityholder’s Escrow Cash Pro Rata Share; and (E) each Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund Amount; (ii) subject to (and taking into account) the portion of the cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.06 and Section 2.04(a)(iv), the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be payable (x) 30.0% in the form of Parent Common Stock, valued at the Parent Common Stock Value; provided, that if the aggregate Option Payment payable to the Optionholders in accordance with Section 2.04(a)(ii) with shares of Parent Common Stock valued based on the Parent Common Stock Value is greater than the aggregate Option Payment payable to the Optionholders with shares of Parent Common Stock valued based on the Parent Common Stock Closing Reference Value, then the portion of such Closing Merger Consideration payable to the such Optionholders shall be determined in accordance with the Parent Common Stock Closing Reference Value in lieu of the Parent Common Stock Value and (y) 70.0% in the form of cash, in each case as set forth on the Funding Consideration Schedule; and (iii) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable by Parent to the Securityholders as consideration in the First Merger (including shares deposited in the Stock Escrow Account, whether or not released to the Securityholders) shall equal the quotient of Three Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($350,000,000) divided by the Parent Common Stock Value, rounded to the nearest share of Parent Common Stock; provided, that, shares of Parent Common Stock deposited in the Stock Escrow Account may be returned to Parent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;

(ii) Payoff Letters with respect to all Indebtedness of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries described in clause (A) of the definition of “Indebtedness” herein (if any) that will be repaid at Closing, together with applicable forms of Lien release and UCC filings; and

(iii) A schedule setting forth, and final invoices with respect to, all Transaction Expenses (other than those to be paid to Company Employees through the Company’s payroll systems).

(f) Certain Payments by Parent. At the Closing, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid:

(ii) to the Company, by wire transfer to a bank account of the Company designated in writing by the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, immediately available funds equal to the sum of the amount of cash the Surviving Company is obligated to pay pursuant to Section 2.04(b) and as set forth on the Funding Consideration Schedule;

(iii) to the holders of Indebtedness for which Payoff Letters have been delivered in accordance with Section 2.02(e), by wire transfer to the bank accounts designed in the Payoff Letters, the outstanding principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest through the Closing Date and prepayment or other penalties or premiums, if any, included in such Estimated Indebtedness, in each case, pursuant to such applicable Payoff Letters on or prior to the Closing Date;

(iv) to persons owed Transaction Expenses pursuant to invoices delivered in accordance with Section 2.02(e), the Estimated Transaction Expenses, in each case pursuant to such applicable invoice on or prior to the Closing Date;

(vi) to the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund Amount in accordance with Section 6.09(f).

In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of this Article II with respect to any portion of the Merger Consideration payable to any Securityholder, the Funding Consideration Schedule will prevail. The parties acknowledge and agree that none of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or the Surviving Company will have any liability to any Securityholder for payments made in accordance with the Funding Consideration Schedule.

SECTION 2.03 Escrow Agreement. Wilmington Trust, N.A. shall act as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and an escrow

agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”). Prior to the Closing Date, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall enter into the Escrow Agreement with the Escrow Agent.

(a) The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, and the Parent shall take all corporate actions necessary to cause, the Escrow Shares to be (i) shown as issued and outstanding on Parent’s financial statements, (ii) legally outstanding under applicable state Law as of the First Effective Time, and (iii) held pursuant to this Section 2.03 as partial security for amounts payable to Parent pursuant to Section 2.02(d)(i) and the indemnification obligations of the Securityholders pursuant to Article IX. Each Securityholder (other than the Securityholders described in Section 2.06 that Parent elects to pay in cash) will have all rights with respect to the Escrow Shares attributable to ownership of such Escrow Shares (including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares (which right shall be exercisable on behalf of the Securityholders by the Stockholder Representative as their authorized agent) and the right to be paid dividends with respect such shares (other than non-taxable stock dividends, which shall remain in and become part of the Escrow Shares)), except (x) the right of possession thereof and (y) the right to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of or encumber such shares or any interest therein; provided that with respect to any Escrow Shares deposited in the Stock Escrow Account in respect of In-the-Money Options, Parent shall retain all rights attributable to ownership of such Escrow Shares (except (x) the right of possession thereof and (y) the right to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of or encumber such shares or any interest therein) unless and until such Escrow Shares are released to the Optionholders.

(b) The parties hereto agree that Parent is the owner of the Cash Escrow Account for tax purposes and that all interest on or other taxable income, if any, earned from the investment of such cash in the Cash Escrow Account pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes as earned by Parent. The parties intend that the rights of the Securityholders to the Cash Escrow Account in respect of their Company Capital Stock are eligible for installment sale reporting under Section 453 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of foreign, state or local Law, as appropriate). In no event shall the payments under the Escrow Agreement from the Cash Escrow Account to the Securityholders in respect of their Company Capital Stock exceed their Escrow Cash Pro Rata Share of $14,700,000.

(c) The parties hereto agree that (i) with respect to the Escrow Shares deposited in the Escrow Stock Account in respect of Company Capital Stock, the Stockholders shall be treated as receiving such Escrow Shares on the Closing Date for tax purposes, and no interest shall be imputed on any such Escrow Shares released to such Stockholders from the Stock Escrow Account, and (ii) with respect to the Escrow Shares deposited in the Escrow Stock Account in respect of In-the-Money Options, the Optionholders shall not be treated as receiving such Escrow Shares for Tax purposes unless and until such Escrow Shares are released to the Optionholders from the Stock Escrow Account.

SECTION 2.04 Treatment of Options.

(a) Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company Board (or an appropriate committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions providing for and shall take all actions necessary to cause the following:

(i) The vesting, as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, of (x) the portion of any outstanding Option issued under the Trilogy Education Services, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan that is unvested and otherwise scheduled to vest on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) the entirety of any other outstanding, unvested Option.

(ii) The cancelation, as of the First Effective Time, of each In-the-Money Option then outstanding, at which time each holder of one or more In-the-Money Options shall become entitled to receive from the Surviving Company, with respect to each In-the-Money Option held by such holder immediately prior to the First Effective Time, an amount (x) 100% in the form of cash (in the case of Optionholders described in Section 2.06 that Parent elects to pay in cash) or (y) 30% in the form of Parent Common Stock (valued at the Parent Common Stock Value, and treating the Escrow Shares as delivered to the Optionholders at Closing) and 70% in the form of cash (in the case of all other Optionholders) equal to (A) the product of (I) the excess of (a) the aggregate value of the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration (with shares of Parent Common Stock valued based on the Parent Common Stock Value) allocable to a Common Share over (b) the exercise price per share of such In-the-Money Option, and (II) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such In-the-Money Option, plus (B) any amounts or other consideration, if any, to be paid in respect of such In-the-Money Option pursuant to Section 2.02(d) or Section 9.07, in each case less applicable withholding Taxes, to be paid in accordance with the remainder of this Section 2.04 (each such payment is referred to as an “Option Payment”); provided, however, that to the extent the cash consideration received by an Optionholder is insufficient to cover the applicable withholding Taxes, the tax withholding obligations for such Optionholder shall be satisfied by the Company withholding from issuance the minimum number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (with shares of Parent Common Stock valued based on the closing price per share of Parent Common Stock on the last trading day that precedes the Closing Date) as is sufficient, together with such cash consideration, to satisfy such withholding obligation; and

(iii) The cancellation, as of the First Effective Time, of each Option that is not an In-the-Money Option (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Options that remain unvested after giving effect to the Option vesting required Section 2.04(a)(i)) for no consideration.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the aggregate Option Payment payable to the Optionholders in accordance with Section 2.04(a)(ii) with shares of Parent Common Stock valued based on the Parent Common Stock Value is greater than the aggregate Option Payment payable to the Optionholders with shares of Parent Common Stock valued based on Parent Common Stock Closing Reference Value (the “Alternative Option Payment Amount” and such difference is the “Option Excess Amount”), then (i) the Optionholders will be entitled to receive the Alternative Option Payment Amount at the First Effective Time in lieu of the Option Payment calculated in accordance with Section 2.04(a)(ii) and (ii) Parent shall increase the amount of value included in the Parent Retention Program by an amount equal to the Option Excess Amount, in an amount not to exceed the amount set forth on Schedule 2.04(a)(iv), for distribution to the Company Employees following the Closing in a manner set forth on Schedule 2.04(a)(iv). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the aggregate Option Payment payable to the Optionholders in accordance with Section 2.04(a)(ii) with shares of Parent Common Stock valued based on the Parent Common Stock Value is less than the aggregate Option Payment payable to the Optionholders with shares of Parent Common Stock

valued based on the Parent Common Stock Closing Reference Value, then the Optionholders shall be entitled to receive the aggregate Option Payment in accordance with Section 2.04(a)(ii) with shares of Parent Common Stock valued based on the Parent Common Stock Value).

(b) On or prior to the first regular payroll date of the Surviving Company following the Closing Date (or in the case of any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.02(d) or Section 9.07, on or prior to the first regular payroll date that is at least five (5) Business Days following the receipt of such payment by the Surviving Company), the Surviving Company shall pay (or, if prior to the Second Effective Time, the First Surviving Corporation shall pay), as set forth on the Funding Consideration Schedule to each Securityholder holding an In-the-Money Option, the cash portion of its applicable Option Payment and Parent shall issue, as set forth on the Funding Consideration Schedule to each Securityholder holding an In-the-Money Option, the Parent Common Stock portion of its applicable Option Payment. With respect to the cash consideration portion of the Option Payment, such payments shall be made (x) in the case of amounts payable in respect of Employee Options, through the payroll systems of the First Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary, as applicable, and (y) in the case of amounts payable in respect of Non-Employee Options, through the accounts payable of the First Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary, as applicable. All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be subject to Section 2.05(f). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) for the purpose of determining the amount of Taxes to be deducted and withheld from any Option Payments hereunder, the per share value of Parent Common Stock will be based on the closing price for Parent Common Stock on the last trading day that precedes (x) the Closing Date (in the case of Closing Merger Consideration) or (y) any date of release from the Escrow Funds in accordance with Section 9.07 (in the case of Escrow Shares) and (ii) to the extent the cash consideration received by an Optionholder is insufficient to cover the applicable withholding Taxes, the tax withholding obligations for such Optionholder shall be satisfied by the Company withholding from issuance the minimum number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (with shares of Parent Common Stock valued based on the closing price per share of Parent Common Stock on the last trading day that precedes the Closing Date) as is sufficient, together with such cash consideration, to satisfy such withholding obligation. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued in respect of In-the-Money Options shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on Schedule 2.04(b).

SECTION 2.05 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Wilmington Trust, N.A. shall act as Parent’s exchange and paying agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration upon surrender of certificates that immediately prior to the First Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock that were converted in accordance with Section 2.01(a) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (“Certificates”). Subject to Section 2.05(b), on the Closing Date and as set forth in the Funding Consideration Schedule, Parent shall, in connection with the Closing, (i) provide to the Exchange Agent all of the cash in U.S. dollars necessary to enable the Exchange Agent to pay the aggregate cash consideration included in the Closing Merger Consideration and (ii) issue to the Exchange Agent, solely for the account and benefit of the persons who held, immediately prior to the First Effective Time, Series B Preferred Shares, Series A Preferred Shares and/or Common Shares that were converted into the right to receive a portion of the Closing Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement a number of shares of

Parent Common Stock necessary to enable the Exchange Agent to pay the aggregate cash consideration included in the Closing Merger Consideration; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable by Parent as consideration in the Mergers (including shares deposited in the Stock Escrow Account, whether or not released to the Securityholders) shall equal the quotient of Three Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($350,000,000) divided by the Parent Common Stock Value, rounded to the nearest share of Parent Common Stock (subject to Section 2.04 and Section 2.05(b), the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Agent to and the Exchange Agent shall provide to each holder of Certificates as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (i) a letter of transmittal substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancelation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent and subject to Section 2.05(g), the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive from the Exchange Agent in exchange therefor (and in accordance with the applicable Letter of Transmittal), as promptly as practicable following the First Effective Time, the applicable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration set forth on the Funding Consideration Schedule, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.05, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the First Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration set forth on the Funding Consideration Schedule, payable in accordance with Section 2.02(d), this Section 2.05(b) and the Escrow Agreement. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any payment to holders of Certificates pursuant to this Article II. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) compliance with this Section 2.05(b) by the relevant holder of Certificates is a condition to such holder receiving any portion of the Merger Consideration, which shall be payable only in the manner set forth in this Agreement and (ii) the terms and conditions of the Letter of Transmittal (including the waivers and releases therein) were specifically negotiated by Parent, Purchaser and Sub as an inducement for Parent, Purchaser and Sub to enter into this Agreement and such terms and conditions are an integral part of the terms of this Agreement.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. The amounts paid and to be paid in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to any and all shares of the Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Company of shares of Company Capital Stock or any other capital stock of the Company that were outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. If, after the First Effective Time, any Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II. From and after the First Effective Time, holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company, except (i) with respect to Appraisal Shares, as provided in this Agreement and by applicable Law and (ii) other than with respect to Appraisal Shares, to surrender such Certificates in accordance with Section 2.05(b).

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates six (6) months after the First Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company, upon demand, and any holder of Certificates who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration.

(e) No Liability. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by the holders of Certificates immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company or an affiliate thereof designated by the Surviving Company, free and clear of any claim or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Purchaser, Sub, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or their respective affiliates will be liable to any holder of a Certificate for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Withholding Rights for Taxes. Each of Parent, Sub, Purchaser, the First Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent, the Escrow Agent and their respective affiliates (without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment made hereunder, under the Exchange Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of any payment contemplated by this Agreement under the Code, or under any other provision of Federal, state, local or foreign Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority in accordance with Law, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which Parent, Purchaser, Sub, the First Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent, the Escrow Agent or any of their respective affiliates, as the case may be, made such deduction or withholding.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and subject to such other reasonable conditions as the Surviving Company may impose, and, if required by the Surviving Company, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Company may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Agent to issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such Certificate as contemplated by this Article II.

SECTION 2.06 Unaccredited Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.01, Section 2.02, Section 2.04 or otherwise in this Agreement, in no event shall Parent be required to issue any shares of Parent Common Stock to any person (i) that does not provide duly completed and executed Investor Suitability Documentation at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, or (ii) that is an Unaccredited Investor. To the extent such Investor Suitability Documentation is not timely provided by a Securityholder or Parent has made such determination regarding Unaccredited Investor status, Parent shall inform the Company of such determination prior to the Closing and the Company shall indicate on the Funding Consideration Schedule that such Securityholder has not provided the Investor Suitability

Documentation or is an Unaccredited Investor. To the extent any Securityholder would otherwise have been entitled to be issued shares of Parent Common Stock as consideration in connection with the First Merger or upon any release of Escrow Funds, Parent shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to pay in cash that Securityholder’s share of the Closing Merger Consideration and the Escrow Amount, rather than issuing shares of Parent Common Stock, with the amount of cash payable equal to the value of the shares of Parent Common Stock (having a value per share equal to (x) the Parent Common Stock Value or (y) solely with respect to amounts compromising Option Payments, the lesser of the Parent Common Stock Value and the Parent Common Stock Closing Reference Value) that would have otherwise been issuable had such Securityholder provided the Investor Suitability Documentation and been determined to be an Accredited Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the payment in cash in lieu of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock result in either an increase or decrease in the aggregate Merger Consideration (assuming that each share of Parent Common Stock is valued at a value per share equal to the Parent Common Stock Value).

ARTICLE III

(a) In order to consummate the Mergers, as promptly as reasonably practicable following execution of this Agreement, the Company shall submit the Action by Written Consent in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Stockholder Consent”) to the holders of Company Capital Stock, including with such submission the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company that the holders of Company Capital Stock give the Company Stockholder Approval. As soon as practicable thereafter, the Company shall deliver to Parent a copy of the Stockholder Consent duly executed by holders of Company Capital Stock representing a sufficient number of outstanding shares constituting the Company Stockholder Approval.

(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the executed Stockholder Consent from holders of Company Capital Stock constituting at least the Company Stockholder Approval as soon as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement in accordance with all Laws, and the Company Charter and Company Bylaws, and the Company may, to the extent necessary to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, enforce (and may cooperate with holders of Company Capital Stock providing Stockholder Consents to enforce) all “drag along” and similar rights against other holders of Company Capital Stock in connection with the Transactions, including in order to cause such other holders to execute and deliver Stockholder Consents to the Company prior to the Closing. In furtherance of the foregoing, as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, and in any event within the period required by Law so as to maintain the effectiveness of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company shall prepare (and shall provide Parent with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on) and deliver notice of such approval to those holders of Company Capital Stock who have not consented and such other persons as required under applicable Law (the “Consent Notice”). Such notice and the delivery thereof shall comply with

Section 228 of the DGCL and other applicable Law. Parent shall furnish to the Company such information as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in the Consent Notice. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, provide to Parent a copy of each executed Stockholder Consent received by it.

(c) The information provided by each of Parent and the Company specifically for use in the Consent Notice shall not, with respect to the information supplied by such person, on the date upon which the Consent Notice is distributed to the holders of Company Capital Stock, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of Parent and the Company agrees (i) to correct, as promptly as practicable, any such information provided by such person that shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and (ii) to take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Consent Notice so as to correct the same. The Company shall cause the Consent Notice as so corrected to be disseminated to the holders of Company Capital Stock to the extent required by Law.

SECTION 6.02 Access to Information.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, upon reasonable notice, afford to Parent, Purchaser and Sub and their respective Representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the First Effective Time to all their respective properties, books, contracts, personnel, agents and records and shall furnish Parent, Purchaser and Sub (and their respective Representatives and the Debt Financing Sources) with such financial, operating and other data and information as Parent, Purchaser and Sub, through their officers employees or agents, may reasonably request; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Company or any Company Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may withhold, and may cause the Company Subsidiaries to withhold (a) such portions of documents or information relating to pricing or other matters that are highly sensitive if the exchange of such documents (or portions thereof) or information, as determined based on the advice of the Company’s legal counsel (which may be in-house), would violate any antitrust Law applicable to the Company or its affiliates, (b) any document or information, if access or disclosure thereto, as determined based on the advice of the Company’s legal counsel (which may be in-house), would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product protection of the Company or any of its affiliates, (c) any document or information, if access or disclosure thereto would, as determined based on the advice of the Company’s legal counsel (which may be in-house), violate applicable Law, including with respect to classified information or (d) any information or documents prepared by the Company or its Representatives in connection with the Transactions concerning the valuation of the Company or the negotiation of this Agreement. If any material is withheld by the Company pursuant to the proviso in the preceding sentence, the Company shall inform Parent as to the general nature of what is being withheld, and the Company shall cooperate with Parent to find a way to allow disclosure of such information described in clauses (a) through (c) to the extent doing so would not, as determined based on the advice of the Company’s legal counsel (which may be in-house), reasonably be likely to violate any Law or result in the loss of such a privilege. All information provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be subject

to the confidentiality agreement dated December 10, 2018 between the Company and Parent, as amended hereby (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(b) The Confidentiality Agreement is hereby amended, as of the date of this Agreement to allow, without the consent of the Company or its affiliates, Parent and its affiliates to use and disclose the Confidential Information and information about the Transaction (as each such terms is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) in connection with (A) the Debt Financing and (B) regulatory filings and communications with Governmental Entities required in connection with the Transactions.

(c) At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered unaudited quarterly interim financial statements for any period ended at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date, including the applicable comparison period, which will have been reviewed by the Company’s independent accountants; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in any event, prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered unaudited quarterly interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, including the applicable comparison period, which will have been reviewed by the Company’s independent accountants.

(e) From and after the Closing, Parent will, and will cause the Surviving Company and their respective Representatives to, provide the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice and in such a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the business, to the personnel and books and records of the Company with respect to periods or occurrences prior to the Closing Date that are necessary in connection with any Proceeding or for Tax or financial reporting obligations, in each case, subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if reasonably requested by Parent’s accountants.

reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Transactions, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary consents, (ii) the defending of any Proceedings challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed, and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, and Parent, Purchaser and Sub shall not be required to, directly or indirectly, make or agree to any payments or other consideration to any third party, or agree to modify the terms of any Contract, waive any right or grant any concession, in each case, to obtain any consent or release, except that (i) the Company may elect to pay cash amounts that will be paid in full prior to the Closing Date and the payment of which is fully reflected in the calculation of the Closing Merger Consideration, and (ii) the parties shall pay normal filing or recordation fees payable to a Governmental Entity.

Parent and the Company shall each use reasonable best efforts to, (i) respond as promptly as practicable to (x) all inquiries received from the FTC or the Antitrust Division in respect of the filings referred to in the immediately preceding sentence and (y) any request for information or documentary materials following such filings and (ii) cause the waiting period under the HSR Act to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date; provided, however, that Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative and the Company, take any action pursuant to this Section 6.03 that would bind the Company to take any action (including paying money or entering into any other obligation) irrespective of whether the Closing occurs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Parent or any of its affiliates be required, and in no event shall the Company or any of its affiliates or its or their respective Representatives be permitted, to (i) propose, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, undertaking or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, lease, license or disposition of businesses, product lines or assets of Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), (ii) terminate existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), (iii) agree to any conditions or restrictions with respect to the assets or operations of Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) or (iv) otherwise take or commit to take actions that after the Closing Date would limit Parent’s or the Parent Subsidiaries’ (including, after the Closing, of the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’) freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of the businesses, product lines or assets of Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), in each case as may be required in order to permit the consummation of the Transactions.

(d) Parent further agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire any assets, business or any person, whether by merger, consolidation, purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any person or by any other manner or engage in any other transaction or take any other action, if the entering into of an agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or purchase or other transaction or action would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any delay in the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period or impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorization, consent, clearance, approval or order of a Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the contemplated transactions, including any approvals and expiration of waiting periods pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Law, (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering, or increase the risk of not being able to remove or successfully challenge, any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other order, decree, decision, determination or judgment that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the contemplated transactions or (iii) otherwise delay or impede the consummation of the contemplated transactions.

(e) Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, will furnish to the other such information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filings or notifications necessary under the provisions of the HSR Act, any applicable foreign competition law or as contemplated by Section 6.03(d); provided, however, that in no event will Parent be required to share with the Company any information that (I) does not relate to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, (II) reveals Parent’s valuation or negotiating strategy with respect to the Transactions, or (III) is otherwise confidential or proprietary information of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, and in no event will Company be required to share with Parent any information that reveals Company’s valuation or negotiating strategy with respect to the Transactions.

(f) Parent and the Company shall each exercise reasonable best efforts to keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the filings, notices and requests contemplated or required by this Section 6.03. In that regard, prior to the Closing, each of the Company and Parent shall, as promptly as practicable, consult with the other with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to (and, in the case of correspondence, provide the other (or its counsel) copies of), all filings, notices, requests for approval or consent made by it with any Governmental Entity pursuant to this Section 6.03 or any other information supplied by it to, or correspondence with, a Governmental Entity in connection with its obligations described above in this Section 6.03. In respect of any such filings, notices or requests, each of the Company and Parent shall, as promptly as practicable, inform the other, or if in writing, furnish the other with copies, or, in the case of material oral communications, advise the other orally, of any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of such filings, notices or requests, and permit the other to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, any proposed written (or any material proposed oral) communication with any such Governmental Entity in respect of any such filing, notice or request. None of the Company and Parent shall participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in connection with any such filing, notice or request (or make oral submissions at meetings or in telephone or other conversations in respect thereto) unless it consults with the other in advance and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity gives the other the opportunity to attend and participate thereat. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish the other with copies of all correspondence,

filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it and any such Governmental Entity with respect to such filings, notices and requests, and furnish the other with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of such filings, notices or requests.

Moreover, no party shall be required to provide the other party with any information that it reasonably considers to be competitively sensitive; provided, that in such circumstance, the disclosing party shall provide the information to the receiving party’s external legal counsel on an “external counsel only basis” (prior to doing so, the disclosing party may seek an assurance from the receiving party’s external legal counsel that it will not provide such information to the receiving party) and, where reasonably necessary and practicable, shall provide a redacted version to the receiving party.

(g) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent, Purchaser or Sub shall give prompt notice to the Company, of the discovery of the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any change, condition or event which discovery, change, condition, occurrence or failure would cause (i) the breach or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to be true and correct would give rise to a condition in Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as applicable, not being satisfied as of the Closing, or (ii) the failure by it to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, which failure would give rise to a condition in Section 7.02(b) or Section 7.03(b), as applicable, not being satisfied as of the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) no notification, or other investigation or knowledge of Parent or any of its Representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify any representations or warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement (or the Company Disclosure Letter) for the conditions to the obligations of Parent to consummate the Transactions or the remedies available to the parties hereunder and (B) the failure to give notice under Section 6.03(g)(i) will be deemed to be a breach of a covenant if and only if the Company knowingly and willfully fails to provide such notice; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not modify or in any way limit the right of any Parent’s Indemnified Person to seek indemnification for a breach of the underlying representation or warranty.

SECTION 6.04 Public Announcements. So long as this Agreement is in effect, Parent, Purchaser and Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, shall not issue any press release or make any public statement with respect to the Mergers or this Agreement without the prior written consent of Company or Parent, respectively (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange or regulatory or governmental body to which the relevant party is subject, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow each other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

(a) For the one-year period following the Closing Date (the “Covered Period”), Parent shall or shall cause the Parent Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company) to provide to each individual employed by the Company or a Company Subsidiary as immediately prior to the Closing Date (each a “Company Employee”), during his or her employment with Parent or its subsidiary, (i) a base salary or wage rate that is no less than the base salary or wage rate provided to such Company Employee by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the First Effective Time and (ii) other compensation and employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those Parent provides to its similarly situated employees during such period (excluding any transaction, retention or change in control bonuses and benefits under any defined benefit pension, retiree welfare, non-qualified deferred compensation, equity-based incentive compensation or any similar plan, program or agreement).

(b) During the Covered Period, with respect to any “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary (including the Surviving Company) (excluding any defined benefit pension, retiree welfare, non-qualified deferred compensation, equity-based incentive compensation or any similar plan, program or agreement), for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting and solely with respect to severance, vacation and paid time-off plans, for benefit accrual purposes, each Company Employee’s service with the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary) to the extent such service was recognized by the Company or such Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the First Effective Time, shall be treated as service with Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company); provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(c) During the Covered Period, Parent shall, or shall cause the Parent Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company) to use reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its subsidiaries in which Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the First Effective Time, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Benefit Plan immediately prior to the First Effective Time.

(d) Parent shall establish an equity-based retention bonus program for Company Employees in respect of the value and in the manner specified in Section 6.05(d) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (the “Parent Retention Program”). Parent shall grant awards to the eligible Company Employees with respect to the Parent Retention Program on or about July 1, 2019, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Section 6.05(d) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, and the vesting of the recipients with respect to such awards shall begin on the Closing Date.

(e) From and after the Second Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company to, pay any employee bonuses pursuant to the annual cash incentive program of the Company that are accrued and unpaid as of the Closing Date with respect to any Company Employee as such bonuses become payable in accordance with and subject to the terms and

conditions of such annual cash incentive program in effect as of the Closing Date and identified on Section 6.05(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter, but only to the extent such bonuses are included as Closing Indebtedness and the employer portion of any related payroll or similar Taxes are included as Current Liabilities in Closing Net Working Capital.

(f) If requested by Parent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take all necessary action (including the adoption of resolutions and plan amendments and the delivery of any required notices) to terminate, effective as of no later than the day before the Closing Date, and subject to the consummation of the Transactions, any Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Company 401(k) Plan”). The Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the resolutions, plan amendments, notices and other documents prepared to effectuate the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, which amendments, notices and other documents will be subject to Parent’s prior review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with the final documentation evidencing that the Company 401(k) Plan has been terminated.

(g) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from (i) each individual listed on Annex 3.03(c) to the Company Disclosure Letter or identified on Section 3.03(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter as having entered into an agreement with the Company regarding performance-based equity grants and (ii) each Optionholder who will hold Options that (after giving effect to Section 2.04(a)(i)) will remain unvested and be cancelled at the Effective Time (such options, the “Cancelled Options”), a written consent and waiver of all claims arising from or related to (x) in the case of clause (i), any unissued Company equity awards or Options (“Unissued Awards”) or (y) in the case of clause (ii), any Cancelled Options, in each case, in a form approved by Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Additionally, the Company shall take such action as necessary to accelerate the vesting in accordance with Section 2.04(a)(i), as of the First Effective Time, of any Shares held by a Continuing Employee that are subject to vesting or forfeiture conditions.

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 6.05, or any other provision of this Agreement, shall be construed to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee or former employee (including any dependent thereof) of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of their affiliates or any person other than the parties to this Agreement, or any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period or to a particular term or condition of employment with Parent, the Company or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, or to limit the ability of Parent, Purchaser, Sub, the Company or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate the employment of any employee (including any Company Employee) at any time and for any reason or to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement or alter or limit Parent’s, the Surviving Company’s or any of their subsidiaries’ ability to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

SECTION 6.06 Tax Matters.

(a) All stock transfer, real estate transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, recording, value added and other similar Taxes incurred in connection with the First

Merger (“First Merger Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by the party responsible for such Transfer Taxes under applicable Law. All stock transfer, real estate transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, recording, value added and other similar Taxes incurred in connection with the Second Merger (“Second Merger Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne 50% by Parent and 50% by the Securityholders. The party responsible under applicable Law for filing any Tax Return with respect to the First Merger Transfer Taxes or Second Merger Transfer Taxes shall, at its own expense, prepare and file such Tax Returns.

(b) Intended Tax Treatment.

(i) The Company, Parent, Purchaser and Sub intend that the First Merger and the Second Merger, will be considered together as a single integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code to which each of the Company and Parent are parties pursuant to Section 368(b) of the Code. Except as provided in the penultimate sentence of this Section 6.06(b), each of the Company, Parent, Purchaser and Sub shall, and shall cause its respective affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the First Merger and the Second Merger to so qualify, and none shall take any action, or fail to take any action, that could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers from so qualifying. Except as provided in the penultimate sentence of this Section 6.06(b)(i), each of the Company, Parent, Purchaser and Sub shall, and shall cause its respective affiliates to, file all Tax Returns consistent with such treatment (including attaching the statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(a) on or with the U.S. federal income Tax Returns of the Company and Purchaser for the taxable year that includes the Mergers), and take no position inconsistent with such treatment (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) unless otherwise required by a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code). Notwithstanding the foregoing covenants, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Parent shall not be required to make any payments in Parent Common Stock under this Agreement other than those payments specified in Section 2.02(e)(i) and Section 2.02(f)(v) (and, by extension, Section 9.07), and in the event the aggregate Parent Common Stock (valued at the Parent Common Stock Value) received by the holders of Company Capital Stock in respect of their Company Capital Stock in the First Merger (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any such Parent Common Stock forfeited pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement) is less than forty percent (40%) of the value of the aggregate consideration paid (or deemed paid for applicable income Tax purposes) to such holders in respect of their Company Capital Stock under this Agreement (including payments pursuant to Section 2.02(d)(ii), Section 2.06 and Section 9.02, and valuing the Parent Common Stock at the Parent Common Stock Value), none of the parties shall be required to file any Tax Returns or take any position in accordance with the Intended Tax Treatment. Each of the parties further agrees to notify the other party as promptly as practicable of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Entity.

(ii) The Company, Parent, Purchaser and Sub intend to treat, and hereby adopt, this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) to which each of the Parent and the Company are to be parties under Section 368(b) of the Code.

(c) At the Closing, the Company shall have delivered to Parent in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, an affidavit of the Company duly executed by a responsible

corporate officer of the Company under penalties of perjury, issued pursuant to and in compliance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-2(c)(3) and dated as of the Closing Date, certifying that an interest in the Company has not been a “United States real property holding company” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the five (5) year period ending on the Closing Date (or if shorter, the longest period in which interests in the Company were held by any of its present holders). The parties hereto agree and consent that after the Closing, Parent shall cause the Company to provide notice of such certification to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2).

(d) Parent shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for Pre-Closing Tax Periods that, unless filed prior to the Closing Date, are first due after the Closing Date (taking into account applicable extensions) (“Parent Prepared Returns”), and subject to terms of this Agreement, including Parent’s rights to indemnification for Seller Taxes, Parent shall timely pay any Taxes shown on such Tax Returns. Parent Prepared Returns, including any Tax Return of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, shall be prepared on a basis consistent with prior positions and practices of the Company or Company Subsidiary, as applicable, except to the extent Parent reasonably determines that it is otherwise required by applicable Law. In the case of any Parent Prepared Return that (1) is an income Tax Return of the Company, or (2) shows Taxes for which the Securityholders are required to indemnify Parent’s Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 9.01, Parent shall deliver a draft of such Parent Prepared Return to the Stockholder Representative at least twenty (20) days (or, for non-income Taxes, such shorter period as is reasonable taking into account the due date, taxable period and Taxes at issue) prior to the due date (taking into account applicable extensions) for the filing of such Parent Prepared Return to Stockholder Representative for review and comment. Within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of any such Parent Prepared Return, the Stockholder Representative shall notify Parent of any comments to such Parent Prepared Return and Parent shall incorporate any reasonable comments with respect to any item related to Taxes the Securityholders are responsible for in accordance with this Agreement provided by the Stockholder Representative in good faith prior to filing such Parent Prepared Return. To the extent the Stockholder Representative agrees that any portion of Taxes shown as due on a Parent Prepared Return constitute Seller Taxes, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall execute joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay Parent or the Company (as directed by Parent) within three (3) Business Days, or, if later, five (5) Business Days prior to the due date (after giving effect to extensions), an amount equal to such agreed Seller Taxes plus any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket the third party expenses for the preparation of such Parent Prepared Return that is for a taxable period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date. If and to the extent Parent and the Stockholder Representative do not agree that Taxes shown as due on a Parent Prepared Return constitute Seller Taxes or the Escrow Funds are insufficient to satisfy the agreed Seller Taxes, Parent shall initiate an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 9.01 for such Seller Taxes plus any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket third party expenses for the preparation of such Parent Prepared Return that is for a taxable period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Prior to the final determination of the Final Merger Consideration pursuant to Article 2 of this Agreement (and thereafter, to the extent such action could reasonably be expected to reduce amounts payable to (or give rise to an indemnification obligation for)

Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement), the Parent’s Indemnified Persons and, following the First Effective Time, the Company and Company Subsidiaries, will not (and will not permit their affiliates to) (i) except for the Parent Prepared Returns prepared and filed in accordance with Section 6.06(d), file any Tax Returns of the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) amend any Tax Return that was prepared and filed in accordance with Section 6.06(d), (iii) make or change any Tax election or change any method of accounting of or with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary that has retroactive effect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) initiate examinations or voluntary disclosures with any Tax authority regarding Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (provided nothing in this Section 6.06(e), clause (iv) shall restrict or prevent Parent and its Affiliates from complying with applicable Law with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period), or (v) engage in any transaction on the Closing Date after the Closing outside the ordinary course of the Company’s business other than any actions taken in connection with the Transactions, in each such case except (A) with the prior written consent of Stockholder Representative (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) or (B) if such action could not reasonably be expected to form the basis for a claim of indemnification against the Securityholders pursuant to Section 9.01. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be unreasonable for the Stockholder Representative to withhold, delay or condition consent to any action that is required by applicable Law.

(f) If either the Stockholder Representative, on the one hand, and any of the Parent’s Indemnified Persons or any of their affiliates (including, following the First Effective Time, the Company and any Company Subsidiary), on the other hand, receives notice of any Third Party Claims, inquiries, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or the Intended Tax Treatment (any such Third Party Claim, inquiry, assessment, audit or similar event, a “Tax Contest”) then each such party shall promptly notify the other upon receipt of written notice thereof (but any failure to so notify the other party shall not relieve such other party from any liability with respect to such Tax Contest other than to the extent such party was materially prejudiced thereby). With respect to any such Tax Contest that the Stockholder Representative does not or cannot elect to control pursuant to Section 9.03: (i) Parent shall permit the Stockholder Representative to participate in such Tax Contest (using counsel of its own choosing) with respect to matters in such Tax Contest for which the Securityholders could reasonably be expected to have any liability (including pursuant to this Agreement), (ii) Parent shall keep Stockholder Representative reasonably informed of all material developments on a timely basis with respect to any such matters in such Tax Contest, and (iii) Parent shall not enter into any settlement of, otherwise compromise or abandon any such matters in such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Stockholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event of any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 6.06(f) and Section 9.03, the provisions of this Section 6.06(f) shall control.

(g) After the date hereof, the Company, Stockholder Representative, Parent’s Indemnified Persons and their respective affiliates shall each provide the other (or cause the other to be provided) with reasonable access to all relevant documents, data and other information, properties, books, records and auditors to the extent reasonably necessary for the purpose of financial reporting, preparation of Tax Returns, supporting the Intended Tax Treatment, responding to any audit by any Taxing Authority or replying to any Third Party Claim or any claim

or demand by any Governmental Entity concerning the Parent, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or their respective affiliates relating to Taxes. Each such party shall reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests the other party makes in connection with contesting the imposition of any Taxes and reporting the Tax treatment of the Transactions.

(h) In the case of any taxable period of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall (i) in the case of ad valorem or property Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the Straddle Period before and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days in the Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the day on the Closing Date.

SECTION 6.07 D&O Indemnification.

(a) Parent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, cause the Surviving Company to honor all the Company’s obligations to indemnify (including all obligations to advance funds for expenses) the current or former (in each case, as of the First Effective Time) directors or officers of the Company as of the date of this Agreement (the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) for acts or omissions by such directors or officers occurring prior to the First Effective Time to the extent that such obligations of the Company exist on the date of this Agreement, whether pursuant to the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or individual indemnity agreements made available to Parent prior to the date hereof, and such obligations shall survive the Mergers and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws and such individual indemnity agreements as of the date hereof for a period of not less than six (6) years from the First Effective Time.

(b) Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall obtain and fully pay (as a Transaction Expense) the premium for a non-cancelable “tail” policy extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for the benefit of each person covered by the directors’ and officers’ insurance policies of the Company in effect as of the date of this Agreement, for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the First Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the First Effective Time.

(c) In the event that Parent, the Company or the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.07.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.07 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons and their successors, assigns and heirs and (ii) in addition to, and not in

substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such D&O Indemnified Person may have by contract or otherwise. This Section 6.07 may not be amended, altered or repealed after the First Effective Time without the prior written consent of the affected D&O Indemnified Person.

SECTION 6.08 Fees and Expenses.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Mergers and the other Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Mergers are consummated.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of (w) the filing fees associated with the filing of the HSR Act notification and report form and any filings with or notifications required under foreign competition laws that are required under or contemplated by Section 6.03 and any expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, of Parent relating to such filings and notifications, (x) any Second Merger Transfer Taxes, (y) the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent relating to the Escrow Agreement and (z) any fees related to obtaining any third-party consents in connection with the Transactions.

SECTION 6.09 Stockholder Representative.

(a) By virtue of the approval of the Mergers and this Agreement by the Securityholders and without any further action of any of the Securityholders or the Company, Fortis Advisors LLC will act as Stockholder Representative and as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and exclusive agent for all purposes under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company will exercise its rights under Section 3 of the Voting Agreement to request each holder of Company Capital Stock to execute and deliver an instrument confirming the appointment of Fortis Advisors LLC as the Stockholder Representative and agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 6.09.

(b) The Stockholder Representative shall have the authority, for and on behalf of Securityholders (except for the holders, if any, of Appraisal Shares) to take such actions and exercise such discretion as are required of the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and any such actions shall be binding on each such holder and shall include the following: (i) to execute the Escrow Agreement on behalf of such holder; (ii) to receive, hold and deliver to Parent Certificates and any other documents relating thereto on behalf of such holder; (iii) to give and accept communications and notices on behalf of such holder; (iv) to defend, negotiate, agree to, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders and awards of courts with respect to, claims against such holder; (v) to defend, negotiate, agree to, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders and awards of courts with respect to, any claims or disputes related to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement on behalf of such holder; (vi) to receive payments on behalf of such holder due and owing pursuant to this Agreement and acknowledge receipt thereof; (vii) to amend, supplement, change or waive any provision hereof or of the Escrow Agreement; (viii) to receive service of process on behalf of such holder in connection with any claims under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any related document

or instrument; (ix) to determine whether the conditions to the Company’s obligations have been satisfied, including waiving any such conditions if the Stockholder Representative in its sole discretion determines that such waiver is appropriate; and (x) to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate in the sole discretion of the Stockholder Representative to accomplish any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Securityholders, except as expressly provided herein, in the Escrow Agreement and in the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Stockholder Representative in any other ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Company Disclosure Letter. As the representative of such holders, the Stockholder Representative shall act as agent for each such holder and shall have authority to bind each such holder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and Parent, Purchaser and Sub may rely (without independent investigation or further evidence of any kind) on such appointment and authority. The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted by the Securityholders to the Stockholder Representative Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Securityholder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Securityholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Funds.

(c) Certain Securityholders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Stockholder Representative to provide direction to the Stockholder Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement (such Securityholders, including their individual representatives, collectively the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Stockholder Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Stockholder Representative Group”) shall be liable to any Securityholder for any act done or omitted to be taken as Stockholder Representative except expressly as set forth herein. Each person who immediately prior to the First Effective Time was a Securityholder and who received, or is entitled to receive, the Merger Consideration shall, in proportion to the number of shares and Options held as compared to the total number of such shares and Options outstanding (and with respect to any such Options, only to the extent of such proportionate share of the Escrow Funds), indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative Group from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, fees, fines, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement or expenses (including fees, disbursements and costs of counsel and other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers) incurred or suffered by the Stockholder Representative Group as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to any and all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or in connection with the incurrence, payment, discharge or settlement of any of the obligations of such holders (collectively the “Stockholder Representative Expenses”), except for any such Stockholder Representative Expenses that arise on account of the Stockholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final adjudication. Such Stockholder Representative Expenses may be recovered first, from the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund, second, from any distribution of the Escrow Funds otherwise distributable to the Securityholders at the time of distribution, and third, directly from the Securityholders. None of the Stockholder Representative Group shall be liable to any person who immediately prior to the

First Effective Time was a Securityholder in respect of such arrangements or actions or omissions in connection therewith, except to the extent that such acts or omissions constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholders acknowledge that the Stockholder Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or the Transactions. Furthermore, the Stockholder Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Stockholder Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Stockholder Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Stockholder Representative in performing such actions.

(d) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative under or relating to this Agreement shall constitute a decision for all persons who immediately prior to the First Effective Time were Securityholders, and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such person, and each such person’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such person, and all defenses which may be available to any person to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Stockholder Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, or the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement are waived. The Parent Parties and their Related Persons may rely (without independent investigation or further evidence of any kind) upon any such decision, act, consent, notice, communication or instruction of such Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent, notice, communication or instruction of each such person. The Parent Parties and their Related Persons are hereby relieved from any and all liability to any person for any acts done by (i) the Stockholder Representative or (ii) them in accordance with or based upon any decision, act, consent, notice, communication or instruction of the Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Funding Consideration Schedule, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Securityholder or other party.

(e) If Fortis Advisors LLC resigns or becomes unable to serve as Stockholder Representative, other person or persons may be designated by the holders of a majority of the shares of Company Common Stock and In-the-Money Options, and such person or persons shall succeed as the Stockholder Representative. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

(f) On the Closing Date, Parent shall pay to the Stockholder Representative by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by the Stockholder Representative in writing at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, immediately available funds in the amount of $500,000 (the “Stockholder Representative Expense Fund Amount”). The Stockholder Representative Expense Fund Amount shall be held by the Stockholder Representative in a segregated client account and shall be used (i) for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Stockholder Representative for any Stockholder Representative Expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group (the “Stockholder

Representative Expense Fund”). The Stockholder Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. The Securityholders will not receive any interest on the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund and assign to the Stockholder Representative any such interest. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Stockholder Representative may contribute funds to the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Securityholders. As soon as reasonably determined by the Stockholder Representative that the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund is no longer required to be withheld, the Stockholder Representative shall distribute the remaining Stockholder Representative Expense Fund (if any) to the Exchange Agent and/or Parent, as applicable, for further distribution to the Securityholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

SECTION 6.10 Financing.

(a) Each of Parent, Purchaser and Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to consummate and obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter (as replaced, amended, supplemented, modified, waived or superseded to the extent not prohibited by Section 6.10(b)) on a timely basis to facilitate the Closing when required by this Agreement, including: (i) to maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter until the Closing has occurred (other than to the extent amended or replaced in accordance with its terms and subject to Section 6.10(b)), (ii) enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter or any alternate Debt Financing, and (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (or on the terms of the definitive documentation related to any alternate Debt Financing). In the event that all the conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter have been satisfied (or upon funding will be satisfied), each of Parent, Purchaser and Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Debt Financing Sources party to the Debt Commitment Letter to comply with their respective obligations, including to fund the Debt Financing at the Closing (and in any event on or prior to the Outside Date). Each of Parent, Purchaser and Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to comply with their respective obligations, and use reasonable best efforts to enforce their respective rights, under the Debt Commitment Letter, in each case in a timely and diligent manner.

(b) None of Parent, Purchaser or Sub shall agree to any amendments or modifications to, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other provision or remedy under the Debt Commitment Letter or Debt Financing Agreements without the prior written consent of the Company (which may be granted or withheld in the Company’s sole discretion), to the extent such amendments, modifications or waivers would reasonably be expected to impose new or additional conditions precedent to the Debt Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions precedent to the Debt Financing in a manner that would be reasonably expected to (A) prevent or delay or impair the ability of Parent, Purchaser and Sub to consummate the Transactions to be consummated on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement, (B) adversely impact the ability of Parent, Purchaser or Sub to enforce its rights or remedies against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or Debt Financing Agreements (or, if applicable, any documentation

related to an alternate Debt Financing) or (C) make the funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date or satisfaction of the conditions precedent to obtaining the Debt Financing on the Closing Date materially less likely to occur; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent may also amend (or amend and restate) the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Fee Letter and any fee credit or discount and engagement letters or any Debt Financing Agreements to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or any person with similar roles or titles who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof and amend titles, allocations and fee sharing arrangements with respect to the existing and additional lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers or similar entities) in all material respects in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification or waiver of any of the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing Agreements. Parent shall release or consent to the termination of the obligations of the lenders and other Persons under the Debt Commitment Letter or Debt Financing Agreements, except for replacements of the Debt Commitment Letter with alternative financing commitments pursuant to Section 6.10(c).

(c) In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable in the manner contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter (other than as a result of the termination of the Debt Commitment Letter pursuant to the terms thereof), Parent shall reasonably promptly so notify the Company. Upon the occurrence of any circumstance referred to in the preceding sentence, Parent, Purchaser and Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain in replacement thereof, and to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to, alternative financing from the same or alternative financial institutions or other persons (which such alternative financing shall be in an amount, when combined with Parent’s, Purchaser’s and Sub’s other sources of funds, equal to not less than the Merger Consideration) on terms and conditions that are not less favorable to Parent, Purchaser and Sub than those in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof.

Financing Agreements of any provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter or Debt Financing Agreements (in each case of the foregoing subclauses (A) and (B), provided, however, subject to the rules of discovery otherwise applicable, that none of Parent, Purchaser or Sub shall be required to provide any information that is privileged if Parent, Purchaser or Sub (as applicable) shall have used its reasonable best efforts to communicate, to the extent feasible, the applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable rule or risk waiver of such privilege), and (iii) otherwise, promptly upon request of the Company, keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing (or any alternative financing under this Section 6.10).

(e) Subject to Section 6.02 and Section 6.02(f), the Company shall provide, shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to provide, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Representatives retained by the Company or any Company Subsidiary to provide customary and necessary cooperation, at Parent’s sole expense, in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by Parent, including (i) making appropriate senior executive officers and additional employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries reasonably available for participation in meetings, due diligence sessions, presentations, sessions with rating agencies and prospective financing sources, (ii) executing and delivering any pledge and security documents (which will not be effective until the Closing Date) and otherwise, (iii) facilitating the pledging of collateral, (iv) using reasonable bet efforts to obtain accountants’ legal opinions, as reasonably requested by Parent, including issuant any customary representations letters to accountants, (v) using reasonable best efforts to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive documentation with respect to the Debt Financing, to the extent the satisfaction of such conditions requires the cooperation of or is within the control of the Company, (vi) reasonably promptly responding to any diligence inquiries of the lenders in such Debt Financing, (vii) furnishing Parent and its financing sources with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested by Parent or any prospective lender to Parent and is customarily required for completion of debt financings similar to the Debt Financing and (viii) providing and executing documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent, including (A) documents requested by Parent or its financing sources relating to the repayment of the existing Indebtedness of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the release of related Liens, including the Payoff Letters and (to the extent required) evidence that notice of such repayment has been timely delivered to the holders of such Indebtedness, and (B) at least four (4) Business days prior to the Closing Date, all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer,” anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act, and applicable beneficial ownership regulations in each case for this clause (B) requested by the Debt Financing Sources and which request is received by the Company in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pledge any assets as collateral, pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Closing. Parent shall promptly reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or any Company Subsidiary (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, but excluding all fees incurred in connection with the preparation, review, audit and delivery of historical financial statements) in connection with any cooperation contemplated by this Section 6.10 (the “Debt Financing Cooperation Expenses”). Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their

respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the Debt Financing, arrangement of the Debt Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than with respect to any historical information provided by the Company or its subsidiaries and except to the extent such losses, damages, costs or expenses arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including this Section 6.10): (i) nothing in this Agreement (including this Section 6.10) shall require any such reasonable best efforts to the extent that it would (a) require the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives, as applicable, to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or agree to pay any commitment or other fees or reimburse any expenses in connection with the Debt Financing that are not contingent upon the Closing or incur any actual or potential liability or obligation or give any indemnities in connection with the Debt Financing that are not contingent upon the Closing, (b) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or create an unreasonable risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, (c) require the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to take any action that will conflict with or violate the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s Company Charter, Company Bylaws or comparable charter and organizational documents, as applicable, or any Laws, (d) require the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to enter into or approve any financing prior to the Closing, (e) result in any significant interference with the prompt and timely discharge of the duties of any of the Company’s executive officers or senior management, (f) result in or reasonably be expected to result in any officer or director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any Representative of any of the foregoing incurring personal liability that with respect to any matters relating to the Debt Financing, (g) require any of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to consent to the pre-filing of UCC-1 financing statements or any other grant of Lien or other encumbrances prior to the Closing, (h) require any of the boards of directors (or equivalent bodies) of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to enter into any resolutions or take similar action to approve or authorize the execution thereof or (i) require the Company or any Company Subsidiaries to provide (w) any financial information (other than the financial statements referenced in Section 3.06(a)) concerning the Company that the Company does not maintain in the ordinary course of business, (x) any other information with respect to the Company not reasonably available to the Company under its current reporting systems, (y) trade secrets or information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation, binding agreement, fiduciary duty, or any obligation of confidentiality (so long as such confidentiality obligation was not entered into in contemplation of this Agreement or to obtain the Debt Financing) binding upon, or waive any privilege that may be asserted by the Company or any of its affiliates or (z) any information to the extent that the provision thereof would impact the position taken in any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return filed by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, or affect in any way the Company’s obligation to file, or assertion that it is not obligated to file, any such tax return and (ii) none of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives shall have any liability or incur any losses, damages or penalties with respect to the Debt Financing in connection therewith in the event the Closing does not occur.

(g) Parent, Purchaser and Sub acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.10, neither the obtaining of the Debt Financing (or any alternative Debt Financing) nor the performance by any party to any Debt Commitment Letter of its obligations thereunder is a condition to the Closing, and reaffirm their obligation to consummate the Transactions irrespective and independently of the availability of the Debt Financing or an alternative Debt Financing, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02.

SECTION 6.11 No Solicitation. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its affiliates not to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and its affiliates’ respective Representatives not to, solicit, initiate or engage in negotiations with, or provide any material information to, any person (other than Parent and its affiliates and Representatives), concerning any merger, sale of substantial assets, sale of Equity Interests or similar transactions involving the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or a substantial portion of their assets, or enter into any agreement with respect thereto.

SECTION 6.12 Section 280G. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall: (i) obtain waivers from each person who has or may have a right to any payments or benefits that could reasonably be expected to constitute “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) as a result of or in connection with the Transactions of the right to some or all of such any payments or benefits so that no remaining portion of the payments or benefits will be of any “excess parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code); and (ii) solicit the approval of the Stockholders in a manner that complies with Sections 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) and 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code of all payments or benefits (including payments and benefits waived pursuant to the preceding clause) that would, as a result of, or in connection with, Transactions, be deemed to constitute “excess parachute payments.” To the extent required to comply with the provisions of the preceding sentence, the Company shall deliver, among other items, to its stockholders a disclosure statement intended to satisfy the stockholder approval requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code. The form of waiver, solicitation of approval, and disclosure materials shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

SECTION 6.13 Accredited Investor Status. Promptly after the date hereof, Company shall request each Securityholder to deliver all documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, necessary to determine whether or not such Securityholder is an Accredited Investor, including the accredited investor questionnaire attached to Exhibit I (collectively, the “Investor Suitability Documentation”). If a Securityholder fails to properly deliver the Investor Suitability Documentation at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, such Securityholder shall be deemed an “Unaccredited Investor” for purposes of this Agreement. If a Securityholder properly delivers the Investor Suitability Documentation at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Parent shall determine in good faith, based on the information provided by such Securityholder in the Investor Suitability Documentation and any further documents provided by such Securityholder to Parent, whether such Securityholder is an “Accredited Investor” or an “Unaccredited Investor” for purposes of this Agreement and provide the Company with written notice of such determinations.

SECTION 6.14 Securities Law Exemption. Parent and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the issuance of all shares of Parent Common Stock contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the Mergers to qualify for an exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the equivalent state “blue sky” laws.

SECTION 9.03 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a) If any legal proceedings shall be instituted or any claim is asserted by any third party that is not party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) against an Indemnified Party in respect of which any party to this Agreement may have an obligation to indemnify such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall give the party from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice thereof to within 20 days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third-Party Claim and the amount of the claimed Losses, together with all documents and materials supporting such claim as are reasonably available to the Indemnified Party, but any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party other than to the extent (i) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby or (ii) if such notice is delivered after the expiration of the survival period in Section 9.05(a) applicable to the matter set forth in such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any notices to be delivered pursuant to this Section 9.03, such notices shall be delivered (x) to Parent in the event that the Indemnified Party is a Securityholders’ Indemnified Person and (y) to the Stockholders Representative in the event that the Indemnified Party is a Parent’s Indemnified Person.

(b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of a notice from the Indemnified Party properly delivered in accordance with Section 9.03(a), to assume the defense thereof at its expense and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided that (i) such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party and (ii) in order for the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, (x) the amount of potential indemnification available to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX (after taking into account the limitations in Section 9.06) with respect to such Third Party Claim (net of the amount of any other pending claims against the Indemnifying Party or the Escrow Funds, if applicable) must exceed 50% of the Losses reasonably likely to arise from such Third Party Claim and (y) with respect to any Tax Contest, such Third Party Claim relates solely to Taxes for which the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation under this Agreement. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense but the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any expenses legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such participation; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of separate counsel of the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based upon reasonable advice of outside counsel, that (A) there may be a conflict of interest (including one or more legal defenses or counterclaims available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party) that would make it inappropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or (B) the Third Party Claim seeks nonmonetary relief which, if granted, could materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party or its affiliates (and in such case of this clause (B) the Indemnified Party may elect to assume such defense), (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have (A) employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of such Third Party Claim is received by the Indemnifying Party and (B) continued to diligently conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim or (iii) the Third Party Claim involves a dispute with any Governmental Entity. The assumption of the defense of any Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party can be made with a reservation of the right to contest the right of the Indemnified Party to be indemnified with respect to such claim under this Agreement.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense and prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party, upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, of all pertinent records and information that are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party for the defense of such Third Party Claim, and making appropriate employees on a mutually convenient basis available upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before compromising, discharging or entering into any settlement of, or ceasing to defend against, any Third Party Claim (with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that, other than with respect to a Tax Contest, such

approval of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or the violation of any rights of any party, (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid by the Indemnifying Party concurrently with the settlement, compromise or discharge and (iii) such settlement, compromise or discharge releases the Indemnified Party and its Related Persons fully, completely and irrevocably from all Losses in connection with such Third Party Claim and does not impose or purport to impose any obligation or restriction on such Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party’s consent to any settlement of a Third-Party Claim shall not be used as evidence of the truth of the allegations in any Third-Party Claim or the merits of such Third-Party Claim. Furthermore, the existence of any Third-Party Claim shall not create a presumption of any breach by a party to this Agreement of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement.

(e) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (x) the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 9.03, (y) at any subsequent date the Indemnifying Party is not diligently prosecuting the defense with counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party of any Third Party Claim or (z) the Third Party Claim seeks nonmonetary relief which, if granted, could materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, subject, in the case of clause (z), to the consent of Parent or the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (and thereafter the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party therefor as promptly as practicable, in accordance with this Section 9.03).

SECTION 9.04 Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) to (x) Parent in the event that the Indemnified Party is a Securityholders’ Indemnified Person and (y) the Stockholders Representative in the event that the Indemnified Party is a Parent’s Indemnified Person, in each case, in writing with reasonable promptness, alleging in good faith a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant or other right to indemnification and setting forth the obligation with respect to which the claim is made and, with reasonable specificity to the extent known, the facts giving rise to and the alleged basis for such claim and, to the extent reasonably estimable, an estimate of the amount of the Losses (or if known, the amount of the Losses) asserted by reason thereof (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”), but any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party other than to the extent (i) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby or (ii) such notice is delivered after the expiration of the survival period in Section 9.05(a) applicable to the matter set forth in such notice. In the event the Indemnifying Party disputes its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice under this Section 9.04 to give written notice of such objection, and (with reasonable specificity) the grounds therefor. If the Indemnifying Party delivers an Indemnification Claim Notice, then the Indemnified

Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by the Indemnifying Party in such Indemnification Claim Notice. No payment on the disputed portion of the claim will be made to the Indemnified Party until such dispute is resolved, whether by adjudication of such matter, agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or otherwise. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree to a resolution of such objection, then a writing setting forth the matters conclusively determined by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be prepared and signed by both parties, and shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto.

SECTION 9.05 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of each party contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, at which time such representations and warranties shall terminate and thereafter be of no force and effect; provided that the Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.09 shall survive until ninety (90) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

The date on which any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement expires or terminates hereunder is referred to herein as a “Survival Expiration Date”. Any claim for indemnity under Section 9.01 or Section 9.02 with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be asserted in writing on or prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.05(a), a party’s rights to indemnification under this Article IX, and the other provisions of this Article IX, shall not terminate with respect to any claim with respect to which the Indemnified Party has delivered (x) an Indemnification Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 9.04 or (y) a notice with respect to a Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 9.03, in each case, prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date; in which case such claim and the applicable representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or right to indemnification under this Article IX shall survive until the full and final resolution of the matters covered by all such notices related thereto.

SECTION 9.06 Indemnification Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(a) (i) None of Parent’s Indemnified Persons may assert any claim for Losses under Section 9.01(a) (A) unless the Losses with respect to such claim or series of directly related claims exceeds two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) (in which case all of such Losses shall be recoverable, or shall count toward the Deductible (as defined below), in accordance with this Article IX) and (B) unless and until the aggregate amount of the Losses with respect to all such claims by such Parent’s Indemnified Persons under this Agreement exceeds two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) (the “Deductible”), and then Parent’s Indemnified Persons may recover Losses only for the excess of such aggregate Losses over the Deductible, provided that none of the limitations on remedies in this Section 9.06(a)(i) shall apply to (x) any claim relating to any breach or inaccuracy of one or more Fundamental Representations or the representations and warranties in Section 3.09 (Taxes) (or, in each case, Losses related thereto), (y) any claim by Parent’s Indemnified Persons in connection with Fraud by the Company or any claim by Securityholders’ Indemnified Persons in connection with Fraud by Parent or (z) any claim by Securityholders’ Indemnified Persons in connection with Parent’s payment of the Merger Consideration.

(ii) �� In no event shall the aggregate liability of the Securityholders for (A) any claim pursuant to Section 9.01(a) solely with respect to Fundamental Representations or the representations and warranties in Section 3.09 (Taxes) or any claim pursuant to Section 9.01(f) exceed the Final Merger Consideration actually received by the Securityholders and (B) any claim pursuant to (x) Section 9.01(a) with respect to any of the other representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article III or (y) Sections 9.01(b) — 9.01(e), 9.01(h) and 9.01(i) exceed the amount of the Escrow Funds.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Closing, no Parent’s Indemnified Person shall have any liability to any Securityholders’ Indemnified Persons in respect of, and no Securityholders’ Indemnified Person shall have (and each Securityholders’ Indemnified Person hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to assert) any right (whether at law or in equity, based in Contract, tort or otherwise) against, or recourse to, any Parent’s Indemnified Person in respect of any amounts paid by any Securityholder Indemnified Person to any Parent Indemnified Person as a result of any indemnification claim made under this Agreement.

(b) Nothing in this Article IX shall be deemed to override any obligations with respect to the mitigation of damages under applicable Law. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided for under this Article IX shall be offset by any amounts actually recovered in cash by the Indemnified Party as a result of any indemnification by any third party with respect to such Losses and any insurance proceeds or other amounts received by the Indemnified Party from third parties with respect to such Losses (net of the deductibles, coinsurance, costs of recovery or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in obtaining any such amounts, indemnification and proceeds). Parent and the Company agree to (and agree to cause the other applicable Indemnified Party to) use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include the initiation of any litigation proceedings) to mitigate any Losses, including to make any claims for insurance; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to maintain any insurance. Notwithstanding the proviso in the preceding sentence, Parent shall not, and shall cause the Surviving Company not to, terminate any fully pre-paid insurance policies in place prior to the Closing prior to the expiration of such policy; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not be required to incur any expense to maintain any such insurance policies.

(c) Any indemnification payments made pursuant to Section 9.01 or Section 9.02 shall be treated as an adjustment to the aggregate Merger Consideration for all applicable Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(d) The amount of the Loss arising out of any item included as a liability in calculating Closing Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.02, shall be calculated net of the amount so included. The amount of the Loss arising out of any reduction in value of any Current Asset acquired at the Closing shall be calculated net of any amount specifically reserved for against the reported value of such Current Asset included in calculating Closing Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of Parent’s Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to any recovery in respect of a Loss (or a part thereof) to the extent the amount of such Loss has been taken into account as a liability in the Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Deferred Revenue, Closing Transaction Expenses or Closing Net Working Capital as finally determined under this Agreement resulting in a Final Merger Consideration that is lower than if such amount had not been included.

(e) No party shall be entitled to make any claim for indemnification under this Article IX with respect to any Loss to the extent such Indemnified Party has been indemnified or reimbursed for such Loss under any other provision of this Agreement.

(f) The parties agree that, the amount of Losses any Parent’s Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover in each instance in which a Parent’s Indemnified Party has a valid indemnification claim pursuant to Section 9.01(g) shall be determined in accordance with the amounts and procedures set forth on Schedule 9.06(f). Any and all payments to any Parent’s Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 9.06(f) shall be made from the Escrow Funds.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than to the extent paid from the Escrow Funds, no Securityholder shall have any responsibility or liability for the breach of any other Securityholder.

SECTION 9.07 Release of Escrow Funds.

(a) In the event that any Parent’s Indemnified Person is determined to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to payment from the Escrow Funds in the amount of the Losses with respect to which such Parent’s Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification. In the event that any Parent’s Indemnified Person is determined to be entitled to recover from the Escrow Funds pursuant to Article IX, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall promptly issue joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent authorizing distribution of the amount of such Losses to Parent or (as directed by Parent) such Parent’s Indemnified Person.

(i) Promptly, but in any event within three (3) Business Days, following the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall cooperate to prepare and deliver a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent to release an amount of Escrow Funds to the Exchange Agent (on behalf of the Stockholders for payment in accordance with Section 2.05) and the Surviving Company (on behalf of the Optionholders for payment in accordance with Section 2.04(b)) with an aggregate value equal to the amount, if any, by which the value of the Escrow Funds as of such date exceeds the sum of (x) the amount required to be reserved in respect of the matters set forth on Schedule 9.01(g), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.06(f), and then the amounts required to be reserved pursuant to this clause (x) shall be reduced by the amount of the damages received by the Parent’s Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.06(f) prior to such date, plus (y) the Claimed Indemnity Amount (such notice, the “Initial Escrow Release Notice”). To the extent any claims for indemnification in respect of the Claimed Indemnity Amount are resolved prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, promptly following resolution of such claims, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release an amount of Escrow Funds to the Exchange Agent (on behalf of the Stockholders for payment in accordance with Section 2.05) and the Surviving Company (on behalf of the Optionholders for payment in accordance with Section 2.04(b)) with an aggregate value equal to the amount, if any, by which the value of the Escrow Funds which is related to such resolved claims exceeds the amount required to be reserved pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately the first sentence of this Section 9.07(a), as applicable, pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 9.07(a) or pursuant to Section 9.07(a)(i). The term “Claimed Indemnity Amount” means the aggregate amount of Losses, as of any date, in respect of claims that have been timely asserted but not finally resolved by such date.

(ii) During the period between twelve (12) months after the Closing Date and eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, the remaining Escrow Funds (other than Escrow Funds in respect of the Claimed Indemnity Amount for claims asserted prior to twelve (12) months after the Closing Date) shall be released only in the event any Parent Indemnified Person is determined to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.01(g). Promptly, but in any event within three (3) Business Days, following the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall cooperate to prepare and deliver a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent to release an amount of Escrow Funds to the Exchange Agent (on behalf of the Stockholders for payment in accordance with Section 2.05) and the Surviving Company (on behalf of the Optionholders for payment in accordance with Section 2.04(b)) with an aggregate value equal to the amount, if any, by which the value of the Escrow Funds as of such date exceeds the Claimed Indemnity Amount (such notice, the “Second Escrow

Release Notice”). Promptly following resolution of all claims for indemnification in respect of the Claimed Indemnity Amount from the Escrow Funds, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release the Escrow Funds, as applicable, to the Exchange Agent (on behalf of the Stockholders for payment in accordance with Section 2.05) and the Surviving Company (on behalf of the Optionholders for payment in accordance with Section 2.04(b)).

(iii) Any amounts released from the Escrow Funds to the Exchange Agent (on behalf of the Securityholders for payment in accordance with Section 2.05), the Stockholders (in the case of distributions described in Section 9.07(a)(iii)(C)), and the Surviving Company (on behalf of the Optionholders for payment in accordance with Section 2.04(b)) shall be distributed to the Securityholders as follows: (A) any Escrow Shares shall be distributed to the Securityholders in accordance with their Escrow Stock Pro Rata Shares, (B) any Escrow Cash shall be distributed to the Securityholders in such proportions as necessary so that the quotient of (I) the sum of (x) Escrow Shares (valued at the Parent Common Stock Value) distributed to a Securityholder and (y) the Escrow Cash distributed to such Securityholder, divided by (II) the sum of (x) Escrow Shares (valued at the Parent Common Stock Value) distributed to all Securityholders and (y) the Escrow Cash distributed to all Securityholders, equals as nearly as possible such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount, (C) any dividends paid on Escrow Shares that were deposited in the Stock Escrow Account in respect of Company Capital Stock (other than non-taxable stock dividends, which shall remain in and become part of the Escrow Shares) shall be promptly distributed to the Stockholders in accordance with their Escrow Stock Pro Rata Shares (excluding the Escrow Stock Pro Rata Shares attributable to Options), and (D) any dividends paid on Escrow Shares that were deposited in the Stock Escrow Account in respect of Options shall be added to the Stock Escrow Account and upon release from the Stock Escrow Account shall be distributed to the Optionholders in accordance with their Escrow Stock Pro Rata Shares (excluding the Escrow Stock Pro Rata Shares attributable to Company Capital Stock). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any release from the Escrow Funds to Parent shall first be distributed from the Escrow Cash until Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) remains in the Escrow Cash, and thereafter any Escrow Funds released to Parent shall be on a pro rata basis between the Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares of the remaining Escrow Funds in such a manner to preserve the Securityholders’ applicable Pro Rata Share of the remaining Escrow Funds relative to the Seucrityholders’ Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Cash and the Escrow Shares as of the Closing Date.

(iv) Anything to the contrary in the foregoing notwithstanding, the execution and delivery of the Initial Escrow Release Notice or the Second Escrow Release Notice by the Stockholder Representative shall not prevent or otherwise impair the Stockholder Representative from disputing the Claimed Indemnity Amount or any liability in respect of claims included in the determination of the Claimed Indemnity Amount.

(b) All claims for recovery for any Losses from the Escrow Funds shall be made pursuant to and in accordance with, and be governed by the terms of, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement and the Transactions for any Losses (including Losses from claims of breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that it may suffer, incur, or become subject to shall, in each case, be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX, other than with respect to (w) claims pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal, the Employment Agreements, the Stockholder Support Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, (w) claims under Section 10.09 for specific performance, (x) the matters covered by Section 2.02, (y) claims under applicable securities laws and (z) claims against any particular person for Fraud. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement (including this Section 9.08) shall affect or limit the rights of any party with respect to any insurance policies held by such party.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “or” is not exclusive. The words “ordinary course”, “usual course”, and “ordinary course of business” will be deemed to be followed by “consistent with past practice”. All references herein to “dollars”, “U.S. dollars” or “$” shall be deemed to be references to the lawful money of the United States, unless otherwise indicated. All provisions herein qualified by the term “domestic” or “foreign” shall be construed on the basis that the United States is the relevant domestic country. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a person

105

are also to its permitted successors and assigns. References to the “date hereof” refer to the date this Agreement is originally entered into by the parties hereto. The word “day” means calendar day unless Business Day is expressly specified. If any action under this Agreement is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a Business Day, then such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such day but on the first succeeding Business Day thereafter. When a representation, warranty or condition is made to an Event (or absence thereof) that has had or would reasonably be expected to have (or not reasonably be expected to have) a Company Material Adverse Effect, such representation, warranty or condition shall be made without giving effect to the words “has had or would reasonably be expected to have” in the definition of Company Material Adverse Effect. When a representation, warranty or condition is made to an Event (or absence thereof) that has had or would reasonably be expected to have (or not reasonably be expected to have) a Parent Material Adverse Effect, such representation, warranty or condition shall be made without giving effect to the words “has had or would reasonably be expected to have” in the definition of Parent Material Adverse Effect.

(b) References to documents or other materials “provided” or “made available” to Parent or similar phrases shall mean that such documents or other materials were (i) delivered to Parent and such delivery is acknowledged in writing by Parent or (ii) fully accessible to Parent and its Representatives in the Data Room as at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 5, 2019, maintained without modification therein through the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.04 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party, provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto agree that the remedies and limitations thereon (including under Article IX and Section 8.02) shall be considered integral provisions of this Agreement and that such remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that increases a party’s liabilities or obligations, or (in the case of Article IX) reduces a party’s rights, under this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

SECTION 10.05 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when such counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original.

SECTION 10.06 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholder Support Agreement and the Letters of Transmittal (i) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the Transactions and (ii) are not intended to confer upon any person other than the

106

parties any rights or remedies. Notwithstanding clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, (i) following the First Effective Time, the provisions of Article II shall be enforceable by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Securityholders, (ii) the D&O Indemnified Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of Section 6.07, (iii) Parent, Purchaser, Sub and the Debt Financing Sources are intended beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to enforce, the provisions of Section 8.03, Section 10.04, Section 10.06, Section 10.07 and Section 10.10, and (iii) the Parent’s Indemnified Persons and Securityholders’ Indemnified Persons are intended beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to enforce, Article IX.

SECTION 10.07 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

SECTION 10.08 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that each of Parent or Sub may without such consent assign, in its sole discretion, (a) any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to Parent (in the case of Sub) or to any direct or indirect affiliate or wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (in the case of Parent or Sub), and (b) its rights hereunder or under any instrument executed or delivered in connection herewith as collateral security to any lender or any other debt financing source providing financing in connection with the Transactions, but in each case no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Sub of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Subject to the immediately preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 10.09 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Transactions) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 10.10 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

(b) Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the

107

terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.09 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction, and the party opposing such injunction or injunctions hereby agrees that it shall not contest the amount or absence of any such bond or other security requested or offered by the party seeking such injunction or injunctions.

SECTION 10.10 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of Delaware sitting in New Castle County, or solely if none of those courts have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in the State of Delaware (and, in each case, any appellate court thereof) (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”). In addition, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the jurisdiction of such Chosen Courts in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such Chosen Courts, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the Chosen Courts and (iv) waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any action related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions (including any dispute arising out of or relating to the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive documentation with respect to the Debt Financing with respect to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive documentation with respect to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the Federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof). The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this paragraph shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

SECTION 10.11 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against, the persons who are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such person. None of the Debt Financing Sources (or any Related Person of any Debt Financing Source), and no Related Person, or Related Person of a Related Person, of any party hereto shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transactions, including, but not limited to, any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof.

108

SECTION 10.12 Privilege.

(a) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) Cooley LLP (“Sellers’ Counsel”) has acted as counsel to the Company in various matters involving a range of issues and as counsel to the Company in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the Transactions, and (ii) except for the Company, Sellers’ Counsel has not acted as counsel for any other person in connection with the Transactions and no other party or person has the status of a client of Sellers’ Counsel for conflict of interest or any other purpose as a result thereof.

(b) None of Parent, Purchaser, Sub, the Surviving Company or any of their respective subsidiaries shall assert that any communication occurring prior to the First Effective Time between Sellers’ Counsel (and any other counsel to the Company or a Company Subsidiary), on the one hand, and the Company or a Company Subsidiary (including any one or more officers, directors, employees or Securityholder of the Company or its Subsidiaries), on the other hand, that is attorney-client privileged, constitutes attorney work product or other attorney-client confidential information arising from communications related to or arising out of the preparation, negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transactions (the “Privileged Communications”) constitute attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Company. Each of Parent, Purchaser, Sub and the Surviving Company (including on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries) hereby acknowledges and agrees all Privileged Communications shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Securityholders and their affiliates (and not the Company or its Subsidiaries). Following the First Effective Time, the Stockholder Representative and the Securityholders will be permitted to use Privileged Communications in connection with the defense of any claim by Parent or any other Indemnified Party under Article IX. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) in the event that a dispute arises between Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries and a third party after the Closing, Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of any Privileged Communications by Sellers’ Counsel to such third party, (y) neither the Stockholder Representative nor any of the Securityholders or their respective affiliates may waive such attorney-client privilege or disclose such communications or files other than in connection with the enforcement or defense of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement; and (z) none of the Securityholders or their respective affiliates may waive such privilege or exercise such property rights without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of all of the Securityholders.

109

any other representations and warranties of any kind or nature express or implied (including, but not limited to, any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries); and (ii) none of the Securityholders, the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries or any other person has made any representation or warranty as to a Securityholder, the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries or the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished or made available to Parent, Purchaser, Sub or any of their respective Representatives, except as expressly set forth in Article III of this Agreement, the Stockholder Support Agreements or any of the other agreements contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In connection with the due diligence investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries by Parent, Purchaser, Sub and their affiliates and respective Representatives, Parent, Purchaser, Sub and their subsidiaries and respective Representatives have received and may continue to receive after the date hereof from the Company or any Company Subsidiary, their affiliates and respective representatives certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plan information, regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries and their businesses and operations. Parent, Purchaser and Sub hereby acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans, that actual results may differ materially from such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, and that Parent, Purchaser and Sub are not relying upon and will have no claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their affiliates or respective Representatives, or any other person, with respect thereto, including as to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided, except to the extent expressly set forth in Article III of this Agreement, the Stockholder Support Agreements or any of the other agreements contemplated by this Agreements.
