ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

Section 1.1     The Merger and Related Matters.
(a)The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”).
(b)Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth herein and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.
(c)Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place electronically at (i) 7:00 a.m. Pacific time on the third (3rd) Business Day after the conditions set forth in Article V have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that, by their terms, are intended to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) or (ii) such other time as Parent and the Company agree. The date on which the Closing occurs is sometimes referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”
(d)Effective Time. A certificate of merger satisfying the applicable requirements of the DGCL in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Certificate of Merger”) shall be
2



duly executed by the Company and, concurrently with the Closing, the Company and Merger Sub shall cause the Certificate of Merger to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL in order to effect the Merger. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as Parent and the Company agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
(e)Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, at the Effective Time:
(i)the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to read as set forth in the Certificate of Merger, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL;
(ii)the bylaws of the Company shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical (other than as to name) to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; and
(iii)the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the only directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
Section 1.2     Effect on Capital Stock, Options, Company Phantom Stock Awards and Warrants.
(a)Treatment of Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Phantom Stock Awards. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any party hereto or any other Person:
(i)Company Capital Stock. Each share of Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (after taking into account the conversion of the shares of Company Special Stock into shares of Company Class B Common Stock and other than Dissenting Shares and shares that are owned by the Company as treasury stock) shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.3 and Section 1.4, a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio.
(ii)Company Options. Each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into an option to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock (each, a “Rollover Option”) with respect to that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, and at an exercise price
3



per share of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of such Company Option by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
(iii)Unvested Company Phantom Stock Awards. Each Company Phantom Stock Award that is outstanding and unvested (after giving effect to the accelerated vesting provisions under the Company Option Plan) immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested Company Phantom Stock Award”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock relating to such Unvested Company Phantom Stock Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration Value over the per share reference price of such Unvested Company Phantom Stock Award (the “Unvested Company Phantom Cash Award”). Each Unvested Company Phantom Cash Award shall remain subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the underlying Unvested Company Phantom Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that such awards shall vest and become payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the time-based vesting dates or such earlier date as may be determined by Parent in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code and (ii) to the extent that an Unvested Company Phantom Cash Award provides for acceleration on a “Payment Date” (in accordance with the terms of, and as defined in, the Company Option Plan), a Payment Date that occurs subsequent to the Closing.
(iv)Vested Company Phantom Stock Awards. Each Company Phantom Stock Award other than any Unvested Company Phantom Stock Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company Phantom Stock Award”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash amount equal to the (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock relating to such Company Phantom Stock Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration Value over the per share reference price of such Vested Company Phantom Stock Award (the “Vested Company Phantom Stock Award Consideration”). Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, deliver the Vested Company Phantom Stock Award Consideration to each holder of Vested Company Phantom Stock Awards, less any required withholding taxes and without interest, within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time.
(v)Company Warrants. Each Company Warrant that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of the Effective Time shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled.
(vi)Fractional Shares.
(1)For clarity, for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2, all shares of Company Capital Stock held by such holder shall be aggregated, and the Exchange Ratio shall be applied to that aggregate number of shares held by such holder, and not on a share-by-share basis. In addition, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender by such holder of a Letter of Transmittal in accordance with Section
4



1.5, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the Parent Closing Stock Price.
(2)As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Company Common Stock in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts to such holders of shares of Company Common Stock without interest, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.4.
(b)Certain Actions of the Parties. Following the Effective Time, each Rollover Option shall be subject to the same terms, conditions and vesting schedule as had applied to the corresponding Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. At or prior to the Effective Time, (i) Parent shall take all actions reasonably necessary to reserve for issuance a number of shares of Parent Common Stock in respect of each Rollover Option and (ii) Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8, Form S-3 or Form S-1 (or any successor or other appropriate form), as applicable, with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Rollover Option and shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such awards remain outstanding. If the service of a holder of a Rollover Option or Unvested Company Phantom Cash Award is terminated by Parent without Cause (as defined on Schedule 1.2(b) of the Disclosure Schedule) within twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, then any then-unvested portion of the Rollover Option or Unvested Company Phantom Cash Award shall become fully vested and exercisable as of the date of such termination. If, subsequent to a termination of employment or other service of the holder of a Rollover Option or Unvested Company Phantom Cash Award for any reason other than for Cause, it is discovered that such holder’s employment or other service relationship could have been terminated for Cause under clauses (B) or (D) of such definition and such actions or inactions resulted in a material harm to the Parent Group, such holder’s employment or other service relationship shall, at the good faith and reasoned discretion of the Board of Directors, be deemed to have terminated by the Parent Group for Cause for all purposes under this Agreement, and such holder shall be required to disgorge to the Company all after-tax amounts received by such holder in connection with the acceleration of such holder’s Rollover Option or Unvested Company Phantom Cash Award following such termination that would have been forfeited under this Agreement had such termination been by any Parent Group Member for Cause.
(c)Treatment of Company Capital Stock Owned by the Company or Parent. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock, and any shares of Company Capital Stock owned by Parent or any wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment of any cash or other property or consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.
(d)Treatment of Merger Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation (and the shares of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). From and after the Effective Time, each certificate evidencing ownership of a
5



number of shares of Merger Sub capital stock will evidence ownership of such number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(e)Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock occurring after the Agreement Date and prior to the Effective Time, all references herein to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the Parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change; provided, that this Section 1.2(e) shall not be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.
(f)Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Dissenting Shares (if any) shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the DGCL, becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the DGCL (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be deemed to have converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration (as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5) in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after), at the applicable time or times specified in Section 1.4, following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.4, the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration (as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5) as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares. The Company shall provide to Parent prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments related to such demands served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, and following the Effective Time, Parent (or any Parent Indemnified Party) shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, in either case, except as otherwise required under the DGCL, voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares (provided that, with respect to Parent (or any Parent Indemnified Party), the foregoing shall apply only to the extent such payment or settlement would result in Parent Indemnifiable Losses). The payout of consideration under this Agreement to the Stockholders (other than in respect of Dissenting Shares, which shall be treated as provided in this Section 1.2(f) and under the DGCL), shall not be affected by the exercise or potential exercise of appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights under the DGCL by any other Stockholder.
Section 1.3     Escrow Funds.
(a)Deposits. By virtue of this Agreement and as security for the payment and indemnity obligations provided for in Section 1.5 and Article VII, respectively, at the Effective Time,
6



Parent will deposit with (i) Acquiom Clearinghouse LLC as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the sum of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, the Special Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Amount (any and all of such deposits to constitute escrow funds to be governed by the terms of the Escrow Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Escrow Agreement”)) and (ii) the Stockholders’ Representative, the Expense Fund Shares, in each case without any act of the Stockholders. Parent shall be deemed to have contributed with respect to each Stockholder his, her or its Pro Rata Portion of each of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, the Special Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Amount to the Escrow Fund and the Expense Fund Amount to the Expense Fund, rounded to the nearest cent ($0.01) (with amounts greater than or equal to $0.005 rounded up). Amounts released from the Escrow Fund and/or the Expense Fund to the Stockholders shall be distributed to the Stockholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portion and the applicable terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(b)Escrow Fund.
(i)The Indemnity Escrow Amount (the “Indemnity Escrow Fund”), the Special Indemnity Escrow Amount (the “Special Indemnity Escrow Fund”) and the Adjustment Escrow Amount (the “Adjustment Escrow Fund”, and together with the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Special Indemnity Escrow Fund, the “Escrow Fund”) shall be governed by Section 1.5, Article VII and the terms of the Escrow Agreement and shall be available to compensate the Parent Indemnified Parties for any Final Deduction Excess or Parent Indemnifiable Losses suffered or incurred by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under Section 1.5 or Article VII, respectively, in accordance with the terms and subject to the limitations set forth therein.
(ii)The Escrow Agreement shall provide that Stockholders shall be entitled to exercise the voting rights of the Escrow Shares transferred to the Escrow Fund and to receive dividends (if declared) with respect to such Escrow Shares.
(c)Expense Fund. The Expense Fund Amount (the “Expense Fund”) shall be governed by Section 8.12(f) and shall be available to reimburse the Stockholders’ Representative for Agent Expenses pursuant to Section 8.12(f).
Section 1.4     Exchange Agent; Payment of Merger Consideration; Exchange of Certificates.
(a)Effect of Closing on Company Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Capital Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of each Certificate in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Article I and Article VII, without interest.
(b)Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to act as paying and exchange agent in connection with the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”) to receive, for the benefit of Stockholders, the aggregate Merger Consideration (as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5) to which Stockholders shall become entitled pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(i) and Section 1.3.
(c)Payment of Merger Consideration and Other Closing Payments. On the Closing Date, Parent shall:
7



(i)Pay the Transaction Expenses to the Exchange Agent for further distribution to the Persons owed any portion thereof, as set forth in the Company Closing Financial Certificate;
(ii)Pay the applicable payoff amounts in respect of Company Debt, if any, to the Persons owed any portion thereof in accordance with the payoff letter delivered pursuant to Schedule 5.3; and
(iii)Deposit shares of Parent Common Stock representing the Merger Consideration, less the amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 1.3(a) and less the Expense Fund Amount.
(d)Payment Procedures. By no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, to the extent not previously delivered to the Exchange Agent, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to send to each Stockholder a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (including any applicable attachments thereto or other documentation required thereby (including a properly completed IRS Form W-9, or the appropriate version of IRS Form W-8, as applicable), the “Letter of Transmittal”), and the Exchange Agent shall promptly following the Closing pay to the applicable recipient after such submission, the consideration provided for herein. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name a Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if and to the extent any duly completed and validly executed Letters of Transmittal are submitted at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, payment of the applicable Merger Consideration to which such submitting Stockholder is entitled hereunder shall be made on the Closing Date.
(e)Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The Merger Consideration (as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5) paid in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock (together with the contingent right to receive, if, when and to the extent payable, the amounts released from the Escrow Fund and the Expense Fund for payment to the Stockholder in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement) upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article I shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Certificates, and at the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation or Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(f)Termination of Exchange Fund. At any time following the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any shares of Parent Common Stock that had been made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of the Merger Consideration and that have not been disbursed to Stockholders, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Applicable Law) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of Merger Consideration that may be payable, as determined pursuant hereto, without any interest thereon.
8



(g)No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the Parties hereto, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person the aggregate Merger Consideration (as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

(h)Withholding Taxes.

To the extent amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, the deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
(i)Allocation of Merger Consideration.

Section 1.5     Post-Closing Adjustment.
(a)Within 75 calendar days after the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a statement (the “Parent Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Parent’s calculation of the Deduction Amount (defined below), and each element of the Deduction Amount (the “Post-Closing Deduction Amount Calculation”). The Parent Post-Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement, including the Company Accounting Principles and the calculation of the Deduction Amount set forth on the Capitalization Spreadsheet Trial Run.
(b)The Stockholders’ Representative shall have 35 days within which to review the Post-Closing Deduction Amount Calculation after Parent’s delivery of the Parent Post-Closing Statement. The Stockholders’ Representative may object to the Post-Closing Deduction Amount Calculation set forth in the Parent Post-Closing Statement by providing written notice of such objection to Parent within 25 days after Parent’s delivery of the Parent Post-Closing Statement (the “Notice of Objection”), specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection and Stockholders’ Representative’s proposed modifications to the Parent Post-Closing Statement. During such 35-day period and thereafter until the final determination of the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.5, the Stockholders’ Representative and its advisors (including, without limitation, its independent accounting firm) shall be provided with prompt access (including remote access) to the financial books and records (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters) and personnel of the Company and Parent as it may reasonably request to enable it to evaluate the calculations of the Deduction Amount, and each element of the Deduction Amount, as set forth on the Capitalization Spreadsheet Trial Run prepared by Parent and set forth in the Parent Post-Closing Statement.
(c)If the Stockholders’ Representative provides the Notice of Objection, then Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall confer in good faith for a period of up to 20 days following Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Objection in an attempt to resolve any disputed matter set forth in the
9



Notice of Objection, and any resolution by them shall be in writing and shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto and the Stockholder.
(d)If, after the 20-day period set forth in Section 1.5(c), Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative cannot resolve all matters set forth in the Notice of Objection, then either Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative may refer such items that remain in dispute (the “Disputed Items”) to a mutually agreed nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Reviewing Accountant”), acting in its capacity as an expert and not as an arbitrator, to resolve such Disputed Items and provide Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative with the calculation of applicable Disputed Items in accordance with such determination. The Reviewing Accountant shall determine such Disputed Item, based solely on the presentations made by, and submissions and supporting materials provided by, Stockholders’ Representative and Parent in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Reviewing Accountant to resolve all Disputed Items as soon as practicable and in any event within twenty (20) days after the submission of any dispute to the Reviewing Accountant. The Reviewing Accountant shall set forth such resolution in a written statement delivered to Stockholders’ Representative and Parent. The Reviewing Accountant’s determination shall be made solely in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement, including the Company Accounting Principles and the calculation of the Deduction Amount, and each element of the Deduction Amount, as set forth on the Capitalization Spreadsheet Trial Run, and consistent with the definitions contained herein. The Reviewing Accountant may not assign a value to any Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for such Disputed Item claimed by either Stockholders’ Representative or Parent or less than the smallest value for such Disputed Item claimed by either Stockholders’ Representative or Parent. Neither Stockholders’ Representative nor Parent may disclose to the Reviewing Accountant, and the Reviewing Accountant may not consider for any purpose, any settlement discussions or settlement offer(s) made by or on behalf of either Stockholders’ Representative or Parent unless otherwise agreed by Stockholders’ Representative and Parent. Neither Stockholders’ Representative nor Parent shall communicate with the Reviewing Accountant unless the other party is present or party to such communication. The Reviewing Accountant’s written determination of all Disputed Items shall, absent manifest error or mathematical error promptly corrected by the Reviewing Accountant, be final, non-appealable and binding on the Parties hereto. The Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate in good faith with the Reviewing Accountant, and shall give the Reviewing Accountant access to all data and other information it reasonably requests for purposes of such resolution. Any determinations made by the Reviewing Accountant pursuant to this Section 1.5(d) shall be final, non-appealable and binding on the Parties hereto, absent manifest error or fraud.
(e)If the Deduction Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.5 (the “Final Deduction Amount”) is greater than the Higher Deduction Band as set forth in the Company Closing Financial Certificate (the amount by which the Deduction Amount is greater than the Higher Deduction Band, the “Final Deduction Excess”), an amount equal to the difference between the Final Deduction Excess and the Estimated Deduction Excess (the “Excess Release Amount”) shall be recovered by Parent from the Escrow Fund (and in no event shall Parent be entitled to any additional shares of Parent Common Stock or payment from any Company Stockholders in respect of the Final Deduction Excess); provided that, and subject to Section 1.5(h) if the Excess Release Amount is a negative number (the absolute value of the amount by which the Deduction Amount is less than $0, the “Final Deduction Shortfall”), Parent shall promptly issue additional shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the lesser of the Estimated Deduction Excess and the Final Deduction Shortfall to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation (calculated as a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to
10



such lesser amount divided by the Parent Announcement Stock Price), as applicable, for further distribution of such amount and the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Stockholder according to their applicable Pro Rata Portion in accordance with Section 1.4. A joint written instruction setting forth the Excess Release Amount to be paid to Parent (calculated as a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Excess Release Amount divided by the Parent Announcement Stock Price) shall be prepared, signed by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative and delivered to the Escrow Agent. Upon receipt of such instruction, the Escrow Agent shall (i) distribute to Parent a number of shares of Parent Common Stock from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of such joint written instruction and (ii) distribute any remaining portion of the Escrow Fund to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable for further distribution to the Stockholder according to their applicable Pro Rata Portion in accordance with Section 1.4.
(f)The Reviewing Accountant shall allocate its fees and expenses between Parent and Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) according to the degree to which the positions of the respective Parties are not accepted by the Reviewing Accountant, all in the reasonable discretion of the Reviewing Accountant.
(g)Any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes to the extent permitted under Applicable Law.
(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.5, (i) if the Deduction Amount is equal to or lower than the Higher Deduction Band, then there shall be no adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.5 and the Parties shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent providing for the release of the full Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, for distribution of such amount to the Stockholders in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Portion in accordance with Section 1.4 and/or (ii) if the Final Deduction Amount is equal to or lower than the Higher Deduction Band, Parent shall promptly issue additional shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the difference between the Merger Consideration (calculated as if there had been no deduction of the Estimated Deduction Excess, if any) and the Merger Consideration for further distribution of such amount to the Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Portion in accordance with Section 1.4.
(i)For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Deduction Peg” shall mean $107,986,536, (ii) “Deduction Amount” shall mean an amount equal to the sum of (A) Company Debt, as of the Closing Date (or October 31, 2021, with respect to all Company Debt outstanding as of October 31, 2021 or incurred from Parent as cash advances pursuant to Section 4.24 as of October 31, 2021, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to October 31, 2021), plus (B) the Closing Net Working Capital Shortfall (if applicable), as of the Closing Date (or October 31, 2021 if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to October 31, 2021), plus (C) the Transaction Expenses as of the Closing Date, calculated, in each case, in a manner consistent with the Capitalization Spreadsheet Trial Run, minus (D) Cash, as of the Closing Date (or October 31, 2021 if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to October 31, 2021), minus (E) the Closing Net Working Capital Surplus (if applicable), as of the Closing Date (or October 31, 2021 if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to October 31, 2021) and (iii) “Higher Deduction Band” means an amount equal to the Deduction Peg increased by an amount equal to 7.5% of the Deduction Peg, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be $116,085,526.

(d)Prior to filing of the S-4 Registration Statement, Parent (and Merger Sub) and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver to Cooley LLP and to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (“Company Tax Adviser”) the applicable “Tax Representation Letters” referenced in Section 4.13(f).

(e)Parent and the Company will also use their respective reasonable best efforts to take any other action required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the Transactions. Each of Parent and the Company shall ensure that none of the information supplied by or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Form S-4 Registration Statement will, at the time the Form S-4 Registration Statement is filed with the SEC, at each time at which it is amended and at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading and (ii) the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will, at the date it is first mailed or sent to the stockholders of Parent and the Stockholders and at the time of the Parent Stockholder Meeting 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 are made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Closing any information relating to Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Parent or the Company which should be set forth in an
51



amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement, so that any of such documents would not include a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties and each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information to be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by law, disseminated to Parent’s stockholders.
Section 4.4     Information Statement.
(a)Promptly after the Form S-4 Registration Statement shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days following the later of the date that Parent provides printed copies of the Form S-4 Registration Statement to the Company for delivery to the Stockholders and the date of the Parent Information Approval contemplated below, the Company shall cause to be mailed (including by electronic means) to Stockholders an information statement (the “Information Statement”) prepared by the Company, with the cooperation of Parent, to solicit the Written Consent. Each of Parent and the Company agree to provide promptly to the other such information concerning its business and financial statements and affairs as, in the reasonable judgment of the providing Party or its counsel, may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Information Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, and to cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate with the other’s counsel and auditors in the preparation of the Information Statement. Except for information included in the Form S-4 Registration Statement, the Company shall not include in the Information Statement any information with respect to Parent or its Affiliates, the form and content of which information shall not have been approved by Parent prior to such inclusion (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (any approval of Parent required in this sentence, the “Parent Information Approval”).
(b)The Company covenants and agrees that the Information Statement (other than the information set forth in the Form S-4 Registration Statement, which is subject to the terms of Section 4.3) (Form S-4 Registration Statement; Proxy Statement/Prospectus), (and the letter to stockholders and form of Written Consent included therewith), will not, at the time that the Information Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto is first mailed to the Stockholders, 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 made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Information Statement (and the letter to the Stockholders and form of Written Consent included therewith), if any, based on information furnished in writing by Parent specifically for inclusion therein. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Information Statement to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC in all material respects.
(c)Promptly following receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company shall prepare and email a notice (the “Stockholder Notice”) to every Stockholder, except any stockholder as to which the Company does not have an email address, in which case the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide the Stockholder Notice to such person by acceptable alternative means, that did not execute the Written Consent. The Stockholder Notice shall (i) include a statement to the effect that the Company Board determined that the Merger is advisable in accordance with Section 251(b) of the DGCL and in the best interests of the Stockholders and approved and adopted this Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions, (ii) provide the Stockholders to whom it is sent with notice of the actions
52



taken in the Written Consent, including the adoption and approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions in accordance with Section 228(e) of the DGCL and the Company Organizational Documents and (iii) include a description of the appraisal rights of the Stockholders available under the DGCL, along with such other information as is required thereunder and pursuant to Applicable Law. All materials (including any amendments thereto) submitted to the Stockholders in accordance with this Section 4.4 shall be subject to Parent’s advance review and reasonable comment.
Section 4.5     Parent Stockholder Approvals; Company Drag-Along Right.
(a)Parent shall, as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, give notice of and convene and hold a special meeting of the stockholders of Parent (the “Parent Stockholder Meeting”) in accordance with the Parent Organizational Documents and the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq for the purposes of obtaining the following (the “Parent Stockholder Approvals”) which Parent shall, through the Parent Board and subject to Section 4.5(d) below, recommend to Parent’s stockholders: (i) approval of the issuance of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the Merger; (ii) the adjournment of the Parent Stockholder Meeting, if necessary, in the circumstances set forth in Section 4.5(b) below; and (iii) adoption and approval of any other proposals as the SEC (or staff members thereof) may indicate are necessary in its comments to the Form S-4 Registration Statement or in correspondence related thereto, and of any other proposals reasonably agreed by Parent and the Company as necessary or appropriate in connection with the Transactions (the “Parent Board Recommendation”). Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from its stockholders the Parent Stockholder Approvals.
(b)Once the Parent Stockholder Meeting has been convened and noticed, Parent shall not postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholder Meeting without the consent of the Company (other than: (A) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approvals because at the scheduled time of the Parent Stockholder Meeting there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt any of the Parent Stockholder Approvals; provided, that the Parent Stockholder Meeting is not postponed or adjourned to a date that is more than 30 days after the date for which the Parent Stockholder Meeting was originally scheduled, (B) to obtain a quorum of its stockholders present or represented by a proxy at the Parent Stockholder Meeting; or (C) as reasonably determined by Parent to comply with Applicable Law). If the Parent Board makes a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, it will not alter the obligation of Parent to submit the adoption of this Agreement, approval of the issuance of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by this Agreement, to the holders of Parent Common Stock at the Parent Stockholder Meeting to consider and vote upon, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with the terms set forth in Article VI prior to the Parent Stockholders Approval.
(c)Except as permitted by Section 4.5(d) below, neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold or withdraw (or qualify or modify in any manner adverse to the Company) the Parent Board Recommendation, or (ii) fail to include the Parent Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (any action described in this Section 4.5(c) being referred to as a “Parent Adverse Recommendation Change”).
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approvals, the Parent Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) may effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, but only in response to a Parent Intervening Event and only if (i) the Parent Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor) that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the
53



Parent’s directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; (ii) prior to the determination referenced in the foregoing clause (i), Parent has notified the Company in writing that it intends to effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change due to the occurrence of a Parent Intervening Event (which notice shall specify and describe the Parent Intervening Event in reasonable detail (including details of the underlying facts giving rise to the Parent Intervening Event) and the reasons as to why it intends to effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change and which notice shall not constitute a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change); (iii) for a period of three (3) Business Days following the notice delivered pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 4.5(d), Parent shall have made Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith (in each case to the extent Company desires to negotiate), with Representatives of the Company any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the failure to take such action would no longer be inconsistent with Parent’s directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to the Parent Intervening Event shall require a new notice and a new negotiation period (except that such new negotiation period shall be for two (2) Business Days)); and (iv) no earlier than the end of the negotiation period, the Parent Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor), after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement, that the failure to take such action would still be inconsistent with the Parent’s directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.
(e)Nothing contained in this Agreement will prohibit Parent or the Parent Board from (1) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Parent Board has reasonably determined in good faith after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach of the duties of the members of the Parent Board under Applicable Law or (2) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of Parent pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.
(f)Prior to Closing the Company shall take all actions that may be required or appropriate to implement the provisions of Section 4 of the Voting Agreement.
Section 4.6     No Solicitation by the Company.
(a)During the Pre-Closing Period, each Company Group Member and Affiliated Practice shall not and shall not permit any of their directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, agents and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly (i) initiate, solicit, seek, or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information or assistance) any inquiries, expressions of interest, proposal or offer with respect to or the making of, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or continue discussions or negotiate with any Person in furtherance of, or deliver or make available to any Person any non-public information with respect to, such inquiries or with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) enter into any Contract or any agreement in principle relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) enter into any other transaction or series of transactions not in the Ordinary Course of Business, the consummation of which would impede, interfere with, prevent or delay, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, prevent or delay, the consummation of the Transactions. “Acquisition Proposal” means any agreement, proposal, offer or bona fide indication of interest from any Person or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), other than Parent and its Representatives, relating to any (A) direct or indirect acquisition, lease, mortgage, pledge, exchange, transfer, license or disposition (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of at least 10% of the assets of the Company Group and the Affiliated Practices taken as a whole, (B) direct or indirect acquisition (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of more than 10% of the equity securities of any Company
54



Group Member or (C) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving any Company Group Member, in each case, other than the Transactions, or (D) any other transaction outside of the Ordinary Course of Business, the consummation of which would impede, interfere with, prevent or delay, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, prevent or delay, the consummation of the Transactions.
(b)The Company Group Member will, and will cause the Affiliated Practices and its and their Representatives to, (x) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted prior to or on the Agreement Date with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and (y) immediately revoke or withdraw access of any Person (other than Parent and its Representatives) to any data room (virtual or actual) containing any non-public information with respect to any Company Group Member in connection with an Acquisition Proposal and request from each Person (other than Parent and its Representatives) the prompt return or destruction of all non-public information with respect to any Company Group Member previously provided to such Person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal. If any of the Company’s or the Affiliated Practice’s Representatives, whether in his, her or its capacity as such or in any other capacity, takes any action that any Company Group Member is obligated pursuant to this Section 4.6 not to authorize or permit such Representative to take, then the Company shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have breached this Section 4.6.
(c)In addition to the other obligations of the Company and the Affiliated Practices set forth in this Section 4.6, the Company shall promptly advise Parent, in writing, and in any event no later than 24 hours after becoming aware of, (i) any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, by any Person other than Parent and its Representatives; or (ii) any request for non-public information that is being made in contemplation of an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall describe (i) the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer, notice or request and (ii) the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer, notice or request (except to the extent prohibited from doing so pursuant to any confidentiality agreement as in effect prior to the Agreement Date with the Party making any proposal, inquiry or other contact). The Company shall keep Parent fully informed of the status and material details of, and any material modification to, any such inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer and any material correspondence or communications related thereto and shall provide to Parent a true, correct and complete copy of such inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer and any material amendments, correspondence and communications related thereto, if it is in writing, or a reasonable written summary thereof, if it is not in writing. The Company shall provide Parent with 48 hours prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of the Company Board) of any meeting of the Company Board at which the Company Board is reasonably expected to discuss any Acquisition Proposal.
Section 4.7     280G Approval. Following the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain waivers of any parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code by each individual whom the Company reasonably believes is, with respect to the Company, a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) (the “Parachute Payment Waivers”) and (ii) submit to the Stockholders for approval (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Parent, with Parent having been given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any related calculations and documentation) any payments and/or benefits that the Company (in consultation with Parent) determines may separately or in the aggregate, constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), such that, if the Stockholders approve such
55



payments and benefits, such payments and benefits shall not be deemed to be “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent (i) that a Stockholder vote was solicited in conformance with this Section 4.7 and the requisite Stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the Stockholder vote (the “280G Approval”), or (ii) that the 280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, that such “parachute payments” shall not be made or provided, pursuant to the waivers of those payments and/or benefits that were executed by the affected individuals. Prior to the solicitation of Parachute Payment Waivers, Parent shall provide the Company with any compensatory arrangement that it or its Affiliates entered into or agreed with any disqualified individual.
Section 4.8     Regulatory Approvals.
(a)Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Parent agree, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries and the Affiliated Practices, to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Transactions and to use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions to each Party’s obligation to close the Transactions as set forth in Article V to be satisfied, including using reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to obtain all licenses, certificates, permits, approvals, clearances, expirations, consents, waivers or terminations of applicable waiting periods, authorizations, qualifications and orders of any Governmental Authority (each a “Governmental Consent”) required for the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1(b) and Section 5.2(d). The Parties shall cooperate fully with each other to the extent necessary in connection with the foregoing, and shall provide copies of any filing to be made with a Governmental Authority to the non-filing Party, other than the HSR Act filing, prior to submitting such filing, and the Parties shall agree on the content of any such filing prior to its submission to a Governmental Authority.
(b)In connection with the efforts referenced in Section 4.8(a), Parent and the Company shall promptly make all filings which may be required for the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 5.1(b) and Section 5.2(d) by each of them in connection with the consummation of the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent and the Company shall make their respective filings under the HSR Act no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date hereof. In addition, Parent and the Company agree, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries and the Affiliated Practices, to cooperate and to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to obtain any Governmental Consents required for the Closing contemplated by Section 4.8(a) above and to respond as promptly as practicable to any requests for information from any Governmental Authority regarding the Transactions, and to use their respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Transactions under any Applicable Law. Each Party shall furnish to the other such necessary information and assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any necessary filings or submissions by it to any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the Transactions.
(c)In connection with the efforts referenced in Section 4.8(a), Parent and the Company will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with, and provide to the other in advance (to the extent legally permissible), any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party hereto in connection with any Legal Proceedings under or relating to any
56



Governmental Consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with this Agreement, the Transactions, any related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Parties agree to (i) give each other reasonable advance notice of all meetings with any Governmental Authority relating to any Applicable Laws, (ii) give each other an opportunity to participate in each of such meetings, (iii) give each other reasonable advance notice of all substantive oral communications with any Governmental Authority relating to any Applicable Laws, (iv) if any Governmental Authority initiates a substantive oral communication regarding any Applicable Laws, to promptly notify the other Party of the substance of such communication, (v) provide each other with a reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon all substantive written communications (including any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals) with a Governmental Authority regarding any Applicable Laws, and (vi) provide each other with copies of all substantive written communications from any Governmental Authority relating to any Applicable Laws. Any disclosures or provision of copies by one Party to the other may be made on an outside counsel basis, if appropriate. Except as prohibited or restricted by Applicable Law, each Party or its attorneys shall provide the other Party or its attorneys the opportunity to review all substantive correspondence, filings or communications (or memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between such Party or its Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement, the Transactions, any related agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby.
(d)Each of Parent and the Company shall notify and keep the other advised as to (i) any material communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the Transactions, and (ii) any litigation or administrative proceeding pending and known to such Party, or to its Knowledge threatened, which challenges, or would challenge, the Transactions.

In the event that the Company Tax Adviser is not able to deliver the Tax Opinion with respect to the Merger as a result of an Adverse Tax Law Change, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable efforts to restructure the Merger in a manner that permits the Company Tax Adviser to deliver the Tax Opinion.

Parent, from and after the Closing Date, shall cause the organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to limitation of certain liabilities of directors, officers, employees and agents and indemnification than are set forth as of the Agreement Date in the Company Organizational Documents or equivalent organizational or governing documents of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, which provisions in each case shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the D&O Indemnified Parties.
(b)Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase “tail” coverage for the D&O Indemnified Parties in a form acceptable to Parent (the “Tail Policy”), which shall provide such D&O Indemnified Parties with coverage for six years following the Effective Time in an amount not less
61



than the existing coverage and that shall have other terms not materially less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage (including fiduciary liability insurance) presently maintained by the Company.

62



Employee from such Company 401(k) plan to a Parent plan that is qualified within the meaning of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code (each, a “Parent Qualified Plan”). If the Company’s 401(k) plan is terminated as described herein, the Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in a Parent Qualified Plan as of the Closing Date.
(d)Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to, pay to each Continuing Employee who remains employed with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries through December 31, 2021, at the same time or times that Parent or the Surviving Corporation pay annual bonuses in respect of the 2021 performance period to other similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries, but in no event later than March 15, 2022, a bonus for the 2021 performance period (the “2021 Annual Bonus”) that is no less than the sum of (i) the portion of 2021 Annual Bonus accrued between January 1, 2021 and through and including the Closing Date in respect of each Continuing Employee under the applicable cash incentive plan of the Company Group (the “Pre-Closing Accrued 2021 Annual Bonus”), and (ii) the 2021 Annual Bonus earned by such Continuing Employee for the period following the Closing Date through the remainder of calendar year 2021, based on actual performance as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Parent Board or a committee thereof based on actual results (and after giving appropriate effect to the Transactions and actions taken by Parent in connection therewith that affect the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) (the “Post-Closing 2021 Annual Bonus”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if a Continuing Employee’s employment is terminated without “Cause” (as such term is defined on Section 4.15(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) prior to payment of the 2021 Annual Bonus, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries to, pay to such Continuing Employee, at the same time or times that Parent or the Surviving Corporation pay annual bonuses in respect of the 2021 performance period to other similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries, but in no event later than March 15, 2022, a pro-rated portion of the 2021 Annual Bonus applicable to such Continuing Employee, with such proration equal to the sum of (x) the Pre-Closing Accrued 2021 Annual Bonus plus (y) the Post-Closing 2021 Annual Bonus, prorated to reflect the portion of the 2021 calendar year elapsed following the Closing Date and through December 31, 2021.
(e)The provisions of this Section 4.15 are solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 4.15 or otherwise in this Agreement is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan and no current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.

(ii)if there shall be in effect a final non-appealable order, injunction, judgment, decree, ruling, writ, stipulation, assessment or arbitration award of a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction (an “Order”) prohibiting the consummation of the Merger; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a Party if such Order was primarily due to the failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;
(a)by Parent, if it is not in material default of any of its obligations hereunder, upon written notice to the Company, if the Company shall be in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth herein, which breach or failure (A) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing Date) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b) and (B) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by the Company within 20 Business Days after its receipt of such written notice;
(b)by the Company, if it is not in material default of any of its obligations hereunder, upon written notice to Parent, if Parent shall be in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth herein, which breach or failure (i) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing Date) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.3(a) or Section 5.3(b) and (ii) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by Parent within 20 Business Days after its receipt of such written notice;

Section 6.2     Effect of Termination; Certain Payments.
(a)In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 6.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other Party or Parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than the provisions of Section 4.11 (Public Announcements), Section 4.12 (Access to Information; Confidentiality) but only as it pertains to confidentiality, Section 4.17 (Expenses) and this Section 6.2(a), all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or any of their respective directors, officers or Affiliates, except nothing shall relieve any Party from liability for Fraud or any willful and intentional breach of this Agreement prior to the termination of this Agreement.
70



(b)If (i) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(g), then Parent will pay or cause to be paid to the Company an amount in cash equal to $50,000,000; and (ii) the Company or Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(e), then Parent will (A) pay or cause to be paid to the Company an amount in cash equal to all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses actually incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, up to a maximum of $10,000,000 and (B) if requested by the Company in writing within three days of such termination, advance an amount no greater than any undrawn amount set forth in Section 4.24 of the Company Disclosure Schedules and subject to the terms set forth in Section 4.24 of the Company Disclosure Schedules, by wire transfer of same-day funds within ten (10) Business Days following the date on which the Company submits to Parent true and correct copies of reasonable documentation supporting such expenses (each of the fees referenced in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Termination Fee”). The Termination Fee shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a U.S. bank account designated by the Company, which payments shall be made within two (2) Business Days following such termination. If Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(f), then the Company will pay or cause to be paid to Parent an amount in cash equal to $50,000,000, which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a U.S. bank account designated by Parent, which payments shall be made within five (5) Business Days following such termination.
(c)Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 6.1(c) are an integral part of the Transactions and that each of the fees payable pursuant to Section 6.2(b) is not a penalty, but rather is a reasonable upfront payment toward a mutually beneficial agreement between Parent and the Company the receipt of which, to the extent representing a payment in advance of when amounts would otherwise be payable, is intended to compensate the Company in the circumstances in which the Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

73



Section 7.4     Limitations.
(a)Thresholds. The Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to make an indemnification claim for any Representation Breach (other than with respect to the Company Fundamental Representations) pursuant to Section 7.2(a) unless and until (i) the aggregate amount of Parent Indemnifiable Losses for such claim (or series of claims) with respect to any such Representation Breach equals or exceeds $15,000 (the “Per Claim Threshold”) and (ii)(A) the aggregate amount of all such Parent Indemnifiable Losses suffered by the Parent Indemnified Parties, with respect to such Representation Breaches (other than Company Regulatory Representations), exceed $10,000,000 and (B) the aggregate amount of all such Parent Indemnifiable Losses suffered by the Parent Indemnified Parties, with respect to Company Regulatory Representations, exceed $1,000,000 (each, a “Representation Threshold”), in which event the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Losses in excess of the Representation Threshold, subject to the other limitations set forth herein; provided however, that neither the Per Claim Threshold nor the Representation Threshold shall apply in the case of Fraud or Representation Breaches with respect to the Company Fundamental Representations.
(b)Sequence of Recovery; Aggregate Cap.
(i)Subject to Section 7.4(a), recovery from the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be the primary, but not the exclusive, remedy for Parent Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or resulting from a Representation Breach of (A) a Company Fundamental Representation or (B) subject to the Representation Threshold, a Company Regulatory Representation; or (C) based on Fraud (except in respect to the Fraud Persons(s) (as defined below)). If, and only if and to the extent, there are no funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund available for recovery in respect of Parent Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or resulting from a Representation Breach or Fraud, any additional liability for such Parent Indemnifiable Losses shall be satisfied first, from Parent R&W Policy Retention Amount, second, from the R&W Policy, and finally, once each of the Parent R&W Policy Retention Amount and the R&W Policy has been exhausted, directly from the Stockholders on a several and not a joint basis (in accordance with each Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion thereof).
(ii)Recovery from the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for Parent Indemnifiable Losses under subsections (b) through (h) of Section 7.2.
(iii)In the case of Fraud, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover any Parent Indemnifiable Losses directly from (A) the Stockholder(s) who perpetrated such Fraud or had actual knowledge of such Fraud at the time such Fraud was committed (such Person(s), the “Fraud Person(s)”), on a several and not a joint basis (in accordance with each such Fraud Person(s)’s Pro Rata Portion thereof) and (B) subject to Section 7.4(b)(i), any Stockholder(s) who are not Fraud Person(s) directly from such Stockholder(s) on a several and not a joint basis (in accordance with each such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion thereof); provided, that, solely in the case of such Stockholders in clause (B) of this Section 7.4(b)(iii), the aggregate amount of Parent Indemnifiable Losses shall not exceed the Merger Consideration actually received by such Stockholder(s)).
(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the maximum aggregate liability of a Stockholder to Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Party for Parent Indemnifiable Losses in connection with (i) (A) the breach of the representations and warranties contained herein, other than the Company Fundamental Representations and the Company Regulatory Representations, and (B) any Indemnifiable Matter pursuant to subsections (b) through (i) of Section 7.2, in each case, shall be limited to the Indemnity Escrow Fund; (ii) Representation Breaches with respect to Company Regulatory
74



Representations shall be limited to five percent (5%) of the aggregate portion of the Merger Consideration (as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5) actually received by such Stockholder hereunder other than in the case of Fraud and (iii) all other matters for which indemnification is available under this Article VII shall be limited to the aggregate portion of the Merger Consideration (as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5) actually received by such Stockholder hereunder, other than in the case of Parent Indemnifiable Losses based on Fraud perpetrated by the Fraud Person(s).
(c)Collateral Sources. The Parent Indemnified Parties shall in all cases (other than with respect to Taxes) exercise reasonable best efforts to mitigate the amount of any Losses prior to seeking indemnification against or from the Stockholders hereunder; provided, however, that no Parent Indemnified Party shall be required to commence or threaten any Legal Proceeding against any of its customers, suppliers, employees or other third parties with whom it has business relations. Without limiting the foregoing, the amount of Parent Indemnifiable Losses payable under this Article VII with respect to any Indemnifiable Matters shall be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Parent Indemnified Party with respect thereto (net of any applicable deductibles or premium adjustments or retrospectively rated premiums (as determined in good faith by an Parent Indemnified Party) incurred or paid to procure such recoveries) and (ii) indemnity, damages recovered or contribution amounts actually received from third parties (including any parties to the Joinder Agreements) (net of any applicable collection costs and reserves, or expenses incurred or paid to procure such recoveries).
(d)Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Other than with respect to (i) specific performance or other equitable relief made pursuant to Section 8.6, or (ii) remedies expressly provided under any Joinder Agreement, this Article VII shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing for recovery against or from the Stockholder by the Parent Indemnified Parties pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions.
(e)Other Limitations.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall have no right to make any claim in respect of an Indemnifiable Matter to the extent the Parent Indemnifiable Loss with respect to such Indemnifiable Matter was expressly included as a reduction to the Merger Consideration in the determination of the Deduction Amount, Company Debt, or Transaction Expenses.
(ii)For purposes of determining the amount of any Parent Indemnifiable Losses for a Representation Breach and whether such Representation Breach exists, any “materiality” and “Company Material Adverse Effect” qualifiers or words of similar import contained in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded and without effect.
(iii)Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article II, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that (a) none of the Company or any other Person on behalf of the Company makes any other express, implied or statutory representation or warranty with respect to the Company, its business, projections, forecasts, assets or liabilities, or any representation or warranty relating to current or future financial condition, results of operations, any implied warranties of merchantability, suitability, fitness, for a particular purpose, title, enforceability or non-infringement, or with respect to any other information provided to Parent and Merger Sub with respect to the Company, and Parent and Merger Sub have not relied upon any such representation and warranty other than those expressly set forth in Article II, and (b) neither the Company nor any Person on behalf of the Company shall have any liability to Parent or Merger Sub or any other Person for any
75



information provided to Parent or its Representatives relating to the business of the Company, including any materials made available to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective financial and legal advisors or other Representatives in connection with Parent’s due diligence review (including in the virtual data room established by Parent in connection with the Transactions) or management presentations, due diligence discussions or in any other form, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Article VII.

Section 7.5     Claims for Indemnification; Resolution of Conflicts.
(a)Direct Claims for Indemnification. Parent shall administer on behalf of the Parent Indemnified Parties all claims for indemnification of Indemnifiable Matters. Parent, on behalf of a Parent Indemnified Party that seeks recovery of Parent Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article VII, shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative (and, if such Claim Notice is delivered prior to the termination of the Escrow Fund, with a concurrent copy to the Escrow Agent) a Claim Notice in respect of such claim. To be valid pursuant to this Section 7.5(a), a Claim Notice relating to a Parent Indemnifiable Loss under Section 7.2 must be delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative prior to the expiration of the Survival Period for the underlying matter (the period of time during which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to the foregoing clause, a “Claims Period”); provided that any claims by Parent (on behalf of any Parent Indemnified Party) with respect to any such Parent Indemnifiable Loss made prior to the expiration of the applicable Claims Period shall continue until such claim is resolved pursuant to the terms of this Article VII. “Claim Notice” means a notice delivered by Parent (on behalf of a Parent Indemnified Party): (i) stating that an Parent Indemnified Party has paid, sustained, incurred or accrued Parent Indemnifiable Losses, (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the amount of such Parent Indemnifiable Losses (if known and quantifiable), the date each such Parent Indemnifiable Loss was paid, sustained, suffered, accrued or incurred (including, in the case of claims pursuant to Section 7.2(a), the applicable Company Fundamental Representation claimed to be inaccurate) and (iii) the nature of the Indemnifiable Matter to which such item is related (which shall include a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances giving rise to and supporting such claim). Parent may update a Claim Notice from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof. The Stockholders’ Representative may object to a claim for indemnification of an Indemnifiable Matter set forth in a Claim Notice by delivering to Parent (and, in the case of a claim against the Indemnity Escrow Fund, with a concurrent copy to the Escrow Agent) within 30 days of the delivery by Parent of a Claim Notice or any updated Claim Notice (such date, the “Objection Deadline”), a written statement of objection to the claim made in the Claim Notice (an “Objection Notice”), which Objection Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the objections to the claims in respect of which the
76



objection is made. If the Stockholders’ Representative either fails to issue an Objection Notice within the Objection Deadline or prior to the expiration of the Objection Deadline confirms in writing that the Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claims for Parent Indemnifiable Losses set forth in such Claim Notice, then the Escrow Agent shall, upon Parent’s and the Stockholders’ Representative’s direction, distribute to Parent a number of shares of Parent Common Stock from the Escrow Fund having a total value (calculated by reference to the Parent Announcement Stock Price) equal to the amount of any Parent Indemnifiable Losses corresponding to such claim or claims as set forth in such Claim Notice.
(b)Resolution of Conflicts.
(i)If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 7.5(a), the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent (on behalf of the Parent Indemnified Party) shall negotiate in good faith for 30 days to resolve such dispute (the “Negotiation Period”). If the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent reach an agreement with respect to such dispute, a written memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent (a “Settlement Memorandum”) and, in the case of a claim against the Indemnity Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such Settlement Memorandum and make distributions from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof. Upon receipt of the Settlement Memorandum, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to Parent a number of shares of Parent Common Stock from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of such Settlement Memorandum.
(ii)If the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent (on behalf of the Parent Indemnified Party) are unable to reach a written agreement with respect to such dispute after good faith negotiation during the Negotiation Period, any party to such dispute may bring an arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 7.8 to resolve such dispute.
(iii)All offers, promises, conduct, and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the Negotiation Period by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys are confidential, privileged, and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-disclosable as a result of its use in the negotiation.
(c)Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The Stockholder, the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent agree to treat (and cause their Affiliates to treat) any payments received pursuant to this Article VII as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
Section 7.6     Third-Party Claims.
(a)In the event that any Legal Proceeding is instituted, or that any claim is asserted, by any Person not Party hereto in respect of an Indemnifiable Matter against an Parent Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Parent Indemnified Party (or Parent on behalf thereof) shall promptly notify the Stockholders’ Representative of any such claim (describing the claim in reasonable detail, the amount therefor (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof in reasonable detail) to which it has knowledge. The failure so to notify the Stockholders’ Representative of the commencement of any such Third-Party Claim will not relieve any Stockholder from liability in connection therewith except to the extent that such Stockholder is materially prejudiced by such failure.
77



(b)If a Third-Party Claim is made against a Parent Indemnified Party, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and may upon written notice given to Parent within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the Stockholders’ Representative of the notice of such Third-Party Claim assume the defense thereof, at the expense of the Stockholders; provided, however, that the Stockholders’ Representative shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and the Parent Indemnified Parties shall have the right to control such defense if (i) such Third-Party Claim seeks injunctive, equitable or other non-monetary relief, (ii) such Third-Party Claim involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations or (iii) the Parent Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that an actual conflict of interest exists between the Stockholders’ Representative and one or more Parent Indemnified Parties. If the Stockholders’ Representative assumes such defense, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Stockholders’ Representative.
(c)If Stockholders’ Representative (i) does not elect within the 30 days after receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third-Party Claim or (ii) is not entitled to do so pursuant to the terms of Section 7.6(b), Parent shall defend against and use reasonable best efforts to resolve such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled, at the expense of Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders), to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
(d)If Parent (on behalf of a Parent Indemnified Party) assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, it may settle such Third-Party Claim only with the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the applicable Stockholder) (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Stockholders’ Representative assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, it may settle such Third-Party Claim only with the consent of Parent (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No Losses incurred by any Parent Indemnified Party in connection a Third-Party Claim shall constitute Parent Indemnifiable Losses under this Article VII unless the Stockholders’ Representative shall have consented in writing to such settlement (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).
Section 7.7     Escrow Arrangements.
Within five (5) Business Days following the termination of the Escrow Fund, which shall occur on the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to the Indemnity Escrow Fund and on the 36-month anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to the Special Indemnity Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Exchange Agent the balance of the Indemnity Escrow Fund or the Special Indemnity Escrow Fund, as applicable, (representing a number of shares of Parent Common Stock) for distribution to the Stockholders as provided in the Escrow Agreement (based on their Pro Rata Portion), less any amounts (calculated by reference to the Parent Announcement Stock Price) that would be necessary to satisfy any then pending and unsatisfied or unresolved claim for indemnification for any Parent Indemnifiable Loss pursuant to this Article VII delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative in accordance with and subject to the terms and limitations of this Article VII if such claim(s) were resolved in full in favor of the Parent Indemnified Parties (which amounts will continue to be held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund until the related claims have been finally resolved). Promptly following the time that any such pending and unsatisfied or unresolved claims shall thereafter have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, the remaining portion of such undistributed amount for distribution to the Stockholders, if any, not used to satisfy such claims to the Stockholders as provided in the Escrow Agreement (based on their Pro Rata Portion).
78



Any Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Section 7.7 (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the Parent Announcement Stock Price, and Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, such cash amount to such Stockholder.
Section 7.8     Dispute Resolution Relating to Claims for Indemnification.
(a)With respect to any dispute between Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) with respect to any claim for indemnification of Parent Indemnifiable Matters in accordance with the provisions hereof, either Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of a Stockholder) may submit the dispute (each such dispute, a “Dispute”) to confidential, final and binding arbitration in accordance with the J.A.M.S. Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect (the “J.A.M.S. Rules”) except as modified herein. The arbitral tribunal shall have the authority to grant any equitable and legal remedies that would be available in any judicial proceeding instituted to resolve a Dispute. The award rendered by the arbitral tribunal shall be in writing and shall state the reasons on which it is based (the “Award”). The Award shall be non-appealable, binding and conclusive upon the Parties hereto, the Parent Indemnified Parties and the Stockholders. In the event such Award relates to a claim against the Indemnity Escrow Fund, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the amounts from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 7.5(a) and the terms of such Award. Any judgment upon the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over any party or any of its assets.
(b)The seat of the arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware.
(c)The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators, one selected by the claimant in the demand for arbitration, the second selected by the respondent within 30 days of receipt of the demand for arbitration or in the answer thereto, whichever comes first, and the third, who shall act as the Chairperson, selected by the two party-appointed arbitrators within 30 days of the selection of the second arbitrator. Upon the written request of any Party, any arbitrator(s) not selected within these time periods shall be appointed in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, each arbitrator shall be familiar with the commercial law of Delaware and cannot work for a firm then performing services for either Party.
(d)The arbitration and this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.).
(e)Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) shall bear its own costs of the arbitration, including attorneys’ fees, and shall bear the expense of deposits and advances required by the arbitral tribunal and J.A.M.S. in equal proportions.

(a)This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law that would refer a matter to a different jurisdiction.
(b)Subject to Section 7.8, each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in the Delaware Court of Chancery or, to the extent required by Applicable Law, the federal court located within the State of Delaware, (b) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) in the Delaware Court of Chancery or in any state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, (c) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and (d) agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, 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.

(c)EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. Each of the
81



Parties hereto (i) certifies that no Representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and Transactions, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 8.5.
Section 8.6     Remedies. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled (without the requirement to post a bond or other security) to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, hereby agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company or Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Company or Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, under this Agreement.

Section 8.8     Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Applicable Law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. 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 to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, nothing contained in any representation or warranty, or the fact that any representation or warranty may or may not be more specific than any other representation or warranty, shall in any way limit or restrict the scope, applicability, or meaning of any other representation or warranty contained herein.
Section 8.9     Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the other Transaction Agreements (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and
83



understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and (b) except for the rights provided to D&O Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 4.14(a), are not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder. The Exhibits to this Agreement constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.
Section 8.10     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties hereto and delivered to the other Parties hereto; it being understood and agreed that all Parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. The delivery by facsimile or by electronic delivery in PDF format of this Agreement with all executed signature pages (in counterparts or otherwise) shall be sufficient to bind the Parties hereto to the terms and conditions set forth herein. All of the counterparts will together constitute one and the same instrument and each counterpart will constitute an original of this Agreement.
Section 8.11     Affiliated Practices. Notwithstanding the representations and warranties of the Company with respect to the Affiliated Practices in Article II nor the covenants of the Company relating to the Affiliated Practices set forth in Article IV (the “Covenants”), nothing contained herein or in any schedules are intended by the Company to, nor shall they be deemed for any purpose to mean, suggest, or serve as evidence that the Company is in any way engaged in the practice of medicine or is in violation of any Applicable Laws requiring that only duly licensed professionals engage in the practice of medicine. No Company Group Member owns or controls the Affiliated Practices. To the contrary, the Affiliated Practices are separate legal entities wholly owned and operated by duly licensed physicians who are solely responsible for the Affiliated Practices’ own conduct and actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall this Section 8.11 be construed to limit or otherwise modify any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or any of the rights or remedies of the Parent Indemnified Parties hereunder.
Section 8.12     Stockholders’ Representative.
(a)Appointment. By virtue of the Merger and the adoption of this Agreement and without any further action of any of the Stockholders or the Company, each of the Stockholders irrevocably nominates, constitutes and appoints Fortis Advisors LLC as his, her or its exclusive agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact (the “Stockholders’ Representative”), with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of the Stockholder for purposes of executing any documents and taking any actions that the Stockholders’ Representative may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with any claim under this Agreement or under the Escrow Agreement. Fortis Advisors LLC hereby accepts its appointment as Stockholders’ Representative.
(b)Authority. Each of the Stockholders grants to the Stockholders’ Representative full authority to do all things and to perform all acts pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Agent Engagement Agreement and to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of each such Stockholder (in the name of any or all of the Stockholders or otherwise) any and all documents that the Stockholders’ Representative may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Stockholders’ Representative may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, in performing its duties as contemplated by this Section 8.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders’ Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Stockholders, except as expressly provided herein, in the Escrow Agreement and in the Agent Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Stockholders’
84



Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Company Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other agreement executed in connection with the Transactions: (i) Parent shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholders’ Representative on all matters relating to any claim under this Agreement or pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and (ii) Parent, the Escrow Agent and each Stockholder shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Stockholder by the Stockholders’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Stockholder by the Stockholders’ Representative, as fully binding upon such Stockholder. The Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Estimated Capitalization Spreadsheet, (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 Stockholder or other party. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Agent Engagement Agreement, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2 and Section 8.4, shall constitute a decision of the Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Stockholders and their successors as if expressly confirmed and in writing by the Stockholders, and all defenses which may be available to any Stockholder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Stockholders’ Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Agent Engagement Agreement are waived. The Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder. The Escrow Agent and Parent are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative.
(c)Power of Attorney. The Stockholders recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted in Section 8.12(a) and the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Agent Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable, (ii) may be delegated by the Stockholders’ Representative, (iii) shall survive the death, bankruptcy, liquidation or incapacity of each of the Stockholder and shall be binding on each such Stockholder’s heirs, successors and assigns and (iv) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Stockholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Shares.
(d)Advisory Group. Certain Stockholders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Agent Engagement Agreement”) with the Stockholders’ Representative to provide direction to the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Agent Engagement Agreement (such Stockholder, including members, managers, directors, officers, agents and employees, and their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Stockholders’ Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, agents and employees, nor any member of the Advisory Group, (collectively, the “Agent Group”) shall be liable to any Stockholder for any act done or omitted hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Agent Engagement Agreement as Stockholders’ Representative or member of the Advisory Group while acting in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Stockholders shall severally but not jointly indemnify, defend and hold the Stockholders’ Representative and the Agent Group harmless against any Loss, claim, fee, judgment, fine or amount paid in settlement incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Stockholders’ Representative and the Agent Group and arising from the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Stockholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any third party retained by the Stockholders’ Representative and costs in connection with seeking recovery from insurers (collectively,
85



the “Agent Expenses”). Such Agent Expenses may be recovered first, from the Expense Fund, and second, directly from the Stockholders. The Stockholders acknowledge that the Stockholders’ 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 Stockholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Stockholders’ Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Stockholders’ Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Stockholders’ Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative in performing such actions.
(e)Replacement. If the Stockholders’ Representative shall die, resign, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill his responsibilities hereunder, the Stockholders shall (by consent of those Stockholders entitled to at least a majority of Escrow Fund), within 10 days after such death, disability or inability, appoint a successor to the Stockholders’ Representative (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent) and immediately thereafter notify Parent of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed the Stockholders’ Representative as Stockholders’ Representative hereunder. If for any reason there is no Stockholders’ Representative at any time, all references herein to the Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed to refer to the Stockholders as a group. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholders’ Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(f)Stockholders’ Representative Expense Fund. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Parties shall cooperate to provide for the sale of the Expense Fund Shares at then prevailing prices on the Nasdaq, which shares shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. The Expense Fund Amount shall be available: (i) as a fund for the Agent Expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Agent Engagement Agreement, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group. The Stockholders shall not receive interest or other earnings on the Expense Fund. The Stockholders’ Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations.
