The Closing is effective as of 12:00 a.m., local time (i.e., the beginning of the day) on the Closing Date. In lieu of an in-person Closing, the Closing is being accomplished by email (in PDF or similar format)

transmission to the respective offices of legal counsel for the Parties of the requisite documents, duly executed where required, delivered upon actual confirmed receipt, with originals (if requested) to be delivered by overnight courier service on the next Business Day following the Closing Date. All proceedings taken and all documents executed and delivered by all Parties at the Closing are deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously.

(b) At least one day prior to Closing, the Company prepared and delivered to Purchaser a statement containing a good faith estimate of the Closing Balance Sheet (the "Estimated Closing Balance Sheet") based upon the most recent financial information reasonably ascertainable, and prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and, in the case of Working Capital, the Sample Working Capital Calculation, together with a summary statement (together with the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the "Estimated Closing Statement") containing the Company's good faith estimate of the Purchase Price (the "Closing Estimate Payment"), including the estimated Working Capital, Cash, Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses based upon the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet.

(c) At the Closing, Purchaser is paying, or causing the Company to pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds:

(i) to the Sellers, the Remaining Closing Estimate Payment, to the accounts designated in writing by the Sellers, in the following order and priority:

(A) first, to each Preferred Seller, an amount of cash equal to (1) the number of shares of Preferred Stock set forth beside the name of such Preferred Seller on Exhibit A multiplied by $1.00, plus (2) any accrued but unpaid dividends payable with respect to such Preferred Seller's shares of Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Aggregate Preferred Stock Closing Estimate Payment"); and

(B) second, to each Common Seller, an amount of cash equal to (1) such Common Seller's Pro Rata Portion, multiplied by (2) the Remaining Closing Estimate Payment minus the Aggregate Preferred Stock Closing Estimate Payment;

(ii) to the recipients of the Transaction Expenses, the Transaction Expenses, in accordance with the wire transfer instructions designated by such recipients;

(iii) to the Escrow Agent, the Adjustment Escrow Amount, which will be deposited and held in the Adjustment Escrow Account established under the Escrow Agreement; and

(iv) to Sellers' Representative, the Sellers' Representative Payment, to the account designated in writing by Sellers' Representative.

Section 2.4 Purchase Price Adjustment

.

(a) Following the Closing, the Purchase Price will be finally determined under this Section 2.4 and in Section 2.5 and Section 2.6.

(b) If the Purchase Price, as finally determined, is greater than the Closing Estimate Payment by an amount in excess of the Collar Amount, then Purchaser will, within two Business Days following the final determination of the Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pay to Sellers' Representative, to the account designated in writing by Sellers' Representative, an amount equal to the Excess Amount

for distribution by Sellers' Representative to the Common Sellers (based on each Common Seller's Pro Rata Portion of the Excess Amount). In addition, Purchaser and Sellers' Representative will deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Sellers' Representative, to the account designated in writing by Sellers' Representative, the Adjustment Escrow Funds for distribution by Sellers' Representative to the Common Sellers (based on each Common Seller's Pro Rata Portion of the Adjustment Escrow Funds).

(c) If the Purchase Price, as finally determined, is less than the Closing Estimate Payment by an amount in excess of the Collar Amount, then, within three Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4, Section 2.5 and Section 2.6, Purchaser and Sellers' Representative will deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to: (i) if the Shortfall Amount exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Amount, disburse to Purchaser the entire amount of the Adjustment Escrow Fund; or (ii) if the Shortfall Amount is less than the Adjustment Escrow Amount (such difference, the "Escrow Excess Amount"), disburse (A) to Purchaser a portion of the Adjustment Escrow Funds equal to the Shortfall Amount, and (B) to Sellers' Representative, to the account designated in writing by Sellers' Representative, an amount equal to the Escrow Excess Amount for distribution by Sellers' Representative to the Common Sellers (based on each Common Seller's Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Excess Amount). If the Shortfall Amount exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Amount, then such excess amount shall be paid by Sellers' Representative (on the Sellers' behalf) to Purchaser within 10 Business Days following the final determination of the Purchase Price; provided, however, as solely between the Sellers' Representative and the Sellers, such excess amount paid by the Sellers' Representative may be recovered by Sellers' Representative from (i) the remaining funds in the Sellers' Representative Fund or (ii) to the extent such excess amount paid by the Sellers' Representative exceeds the remaining funds in the Sellers' Representative Fund, the Sellers in the following order and priority, provided that any failure to collect will not affect Sellers’ Representative’s obligation to pay such amount to Purchaser in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence: (1) first, from each Common Seller in accordance with its Pro Rata Portion of such amount, and (2) second, from each Preferred Seller in accordance with its Preferred Pro Rata Portion of any remaining amount.

Section 2.5 Preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet

. As soon as practicable, but within 90 days after the Closing Date (the "Review Period"), Purchaser will prepare and deliver to Sellers' Representative a statement (the "Closing

Statement") setting forth Purchaser's calculation of the Cash, Working Capital, Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses, and the calculation of the Purchase Price based thereon, as determined from a consolidated balance sheet of the Company prepared as of the Measurement Time (the "Closing Balance Sheet") and delivered with reasonable supporting detail regarding the calculation of each component of the Purchase Price. During the Review Period, Sellers' Representative will have full access to the relevant books and records of the Company and the accounting personnel of Purchaser and related work papers to the extent that they relate to the Closing Statement, and such historical financial information (to the extent in Purchaser's possession) related to the Closing Statement as Sellers' Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Statement and to have a basis to prepare, to the extent Sellers' Representative may deem appropriate, a Dispute Notice (defined below), provided, that such access will be in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Purchaser. The Closing Balance Sheet will be prepared by Purchaser as of the Measurement Time in accordance with the Accounting Principles and, in the case of Working Capital, the Sample Working Capital Calculation. The Closing Statement and the Closing Balance Sheet (a) will not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase or other accounting adjustments or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) will be based on facts and circumstances as they exist as of the Measurement Time and will exclude the effect of any act, decision or event occurring on or after the Closing and (c) will not include, directly or indirectly, any additional reserve or accrual that is not reflected on the Sample Working Capital Calculation. The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and determining Cash, Working Capital, Indebtedness, Transaction Expenses and the final Purchase Price under this Section 2.5 is to adjust for inaccuracies in the estimates in the amounts of Cash, Working Capital, Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses and to determine the final Purchase Price, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies to prepare the Closing Balance Sheet or determine the amounts of Cash, Working Capital, Indebtedness or Transaction Expenses or the final Purchase Price. Notwithstanding any changes to the foregoing items under this Section 2.5, the Closing Balance Sheet will be deemed issued as of the Measurement Time.

Section 2.6 Disputes Regarding Closing Balance Sheet.

(a) Within 60 days following receipt of the Closing Statement (such period, the "Dispute Period"), Sellers' Representative may provide written notice to Purchaser disputing all or a part of the calculation of the Purchase Price in the Closing Statement (the "Dispute"), setting forth in reasonable detail the elements and amounts with which Sellers' Representative disagrees (the "Dispute Notice"). If Sellers' Representative does not deliver to Purchaser a Dispute Notice within the Dispute Period, then the Closing Statement will be deemed to have been accepted and agreed to by Sellers' Representative and the Sellers in the form in which it was delivered and will be final and binding on the Parties. If Sellers' Representative delivers the Dispute Notice to Purchaser within the Dispute Period, then Purchaser and Sellers' Representative will use reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute within 30 days following receipt of the Dispute Notice, provided that all such discussions will be governed by Rule 408 of the

Federal Rules of Evidence and the corresponding provisions of any state, local or foreign Law. If Purchaser agrees with Sellers' Representative's calculation of the Purchase Price in the Closing Statement, then Sellers' Representative's calculation of the Purchase Price in the Dispute Notice will be final and binding on the Parties.

(b) If Purchaser and Sellers' Representative cannot resolve each element of the Dispute within such 30-day period, then Purchaser and Sellers' Representative will jointly engage as the arbitrating expert resolving the Dispute one or more independent members (having no conflict of interest) of the dispute resolution group of an independent nationally recognized certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Sellers' Representative and Purchaser (such Person, the "Accounting Firm"). If Sellers' Representative and Purchaser are unable, after reasonable effort, to agree on the identity of the Accounting Firm, then either of them may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm's function will be to resolve each element of the Dispute not resolved by Purchaser and Sellers' Representative as an accounting expert and not as an arbitrator, to revise the Closing Balance Sheet to reflect such resolutions and to calculate the Purchase Price based on the elements and amounts reflected on the revised Closing Balance Sheet.

(c) In the resolution of the Dispute, the Accounting Firm will limit its review to the positions submitted by Sellers' Representative and Purchaser. The Accounting Firm may conduct a conference concerning the Dispute, at which conference each of Purchaser and Sellers' Representative may present additional documents, materials and other information and to have present their respective advisors, counsel and accountants; provided that Purchaser and Sellers' Representative will be limited by their respective positions submitted to the Accounting Firm. In the resolution of the Dispute, there may be no other hearings or oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other similar Proceedings. Each of Purchaser and Sellers' Representative will provide to the other Party and the Accounting Firm during business hours and upon reasonable notice such documents, books, records, work papers and finance and accounting employees as such Party or the Accounting Firm may reasonably request to review the Closing Balance Sheet and to resolve the Dispute.

(d) The Accounting Firm will promptly, and no later than within 30 days, after its appointment decide on each element in the Dispute in writing to Purchaser and Sellers' Representative, together with a revised Closing Balance Sheet reflecting its decision and a revised Closing Statement reflecting its calculation of the Purchase Price based on its calculation of Cash, Working Capital, Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses. In resolving the Dispute, the Accounting Firm will be bound by this Agreement and may revise no element of the Closing Balance Sheet that is not contested by Sellers' Representative or Purchaser or assign a value to any disputed element of the Closing Balance Sheet greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. Each of the Accounting Firm's decisions, the revised Closing Balance Sheet and the revised calculation of the Purchase Price will be final and binding on the Parties, and judgment may be entered thereon. Sellers' Representative and Purchaser will share the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in inverse proportion to the relative amounts subject to the Dispute determined in favor of such Party, in accordance with the following formulas: (i) Purchaser will pay a

portion of such fees and expenses equal to the total fees, costs and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar amount subject to the Dispute resolved in favor of Sellers' Representative and the denominator of which is the total dollar amount subject to the Dispute, and (ii) Sellers' Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) will pay a portion of such fees, costs and expenses equal to the total fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar amount subject to the Dispute resolved in favor of Purchaser and the denominator of which is the total dollar amount subject to the Dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Purchaser and Sellers' Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) will pay the fees, costs and expenses of their respective attorneys, accountants and other representatives in the Dispute.

Section 2.7 Treatment of Restricted Shares

. Prior to the Closing, the Company will take all actions (including causing the Board of Directors or, if applicable, a committee overseeing the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan to take all actions) that are reasonably necessary to fully accelerate the vesting of all Restricted Shares.

The Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of operations of the Company for the periods covered by such statements, in accordance with GAAP, except as disclosed therein, which GAAP treatment has been consistently applied through the periods covered by the Financial Statements (subject to any required changes in GAAP during such periods) and, in the case of the Interim Financial Statements, except for (A) customary year-end adjustments (the effect of which would not reasonably be expected to be materially adverse), and (B) the omission of footnote disclosures (that, if presented, would not differ materially from those presented in the Annual Financial Statements).

To the Company's Knowledge, there exists no event, occurrence, condition or act which, with the giving of notice, the lapse of time or the happening of any other event or condition, would reasonably be expected to entitle any insurer to terminate or cancel any such policies.

PURCHASER REPRESENTS, WARRANTS, AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ARTICLE III AND ARTICLE IV, NONE OF ANY SELLER OR THE COMPANY HAS MADE, AND EACH SELLER AND THE COMPANY HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM AND NEGATE, AND EACH OF PURCHASER AND ITS AFFILIATES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND IS NOT RELYING ON, ANY EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY RELATING TO THE SHARES OR ANY ASSET (TANGIBLE, INTANGIBLE OR MIXED) OF THE COMPANY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), AND EACH OF PURCHASER AND ITS AFFILIATES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH, THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR MATERIALITY OF ANY EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL STATEMENT HERETOFORE FURNISHED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY SELLER OR THE COMPANY (IT BEING INTENDED THAT NO SUCH PRIOR EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL STATEMENT WILL SURVIVE THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT).

Section 10.2 No Survival of Representations, Warranties, and Pre-Closing Covenants; Sole Recourse; Limitation on Claims; No Reliance

.

(a) None of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto (other than the covenants and agreements that by their terms are expressly required to be performed after the Closing ("Surviving Covenants")) will survive the Closing, and the Surviving Covenants will survive the Closing only in accordance with the terms thereof, and thereafter there will be no liability on the part of, nor will any claim be made by, any Party or any of their respective Affiliates in respect thereof, and, after the Closing, there will be no liability on the part of, nor will any claim be made by, any Party or any of their respective Affiliates in respect of any covenant or agreement to be performed prior to the Closing (other than in accordance with the terms of the Surviving Covenants). It is the express intent of the Parties that the survival of the representations and warranties in this Agreement and any other purported representation or warranty (and the associated right to bring a claim for a breach of such representations and warranties) is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to

such representations or warranties, and, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such representation or warranty (and the associated right to bring a claim for a breach of such representations and warranties) are hereby reduced so they end at the Closing, as provided in this Section 10.2. The terms of this Agreement (including the specific representations and warranties set forth herein and the non-survivability of such representations and warranties) were specifically bargained-for among the Parties and were taken into account by the Parties in arriving at the Purchase Price. Each of the Parties acknowledges this Agreement results from arm's-length negotiations among the Parties and embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm's-length negotiations; Purchaser and Sellers specifically acknowledge that neither Purchaser nor Sellers have any special relationship with the other Party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and ordinary sellers in an arm's-length transaction, and there are no grounds for the tolling of any applicable statute of limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.2(a) will not prohibit Purchaser from obtaining any remedies Purchaser may have against any insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy. Purchaser will not consent to or otherwise permit the amendment or waiver of any provision of the R&W Insurance Policy relating to the protection of Sellers from subrogation (including Section VIII.C. of the R&W Insurance Policy) without the prior written consent of the Sellers.

(b) The Parties agree that the sole and exclusive remedy for any claims for any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or any Seller in this Agreement will be to recover from the R&W Insurance Policy, and neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate of Purchaser will be entitled to any remedy from the Company or any Seller for any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or any Seller in this Agreement or any other claim or cause of action arising under or related to this Agreement, except for claims by Purchaser against the Company for Fraud of the Company or a Seller for Fraud of such Seller and the remedies for such Fraud (as such claims and remedies have been excluded to the maximum extent permitted by Law under this Agreement).

(c) All claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out of or because of, be connected with, or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and are those solely of) the Persons expressly identified as Parties (the "Contracting Parties"). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, direct or indirect equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any Contracting Party, or any director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, direct or indirect equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the foregoing (the "Nonparty Affiliates") will have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity, strict liability or otherwise) for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any Contracting Party set forth or contained in this Agreement or in any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder based upon, arising under, out of, in connection

with, or related to this Agreement (including its negotiation, execution, performance or breach) or for any claims or causes of action based on, in respect of, or because of the sale and purchase of the Shares (including any non-disclosure or misrepresentations made by any such Nonparty Affiliates) or any other transactions contemplated hereby; and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Contracting Party waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, (a) each Contracting Party waives and releases (and will cause its respective Affiliates to waive and release) any rights, claims, demands or causes of action that may otherwise be available in law or equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of contract, tort, strict liability, equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization or otherwise; and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.

Information reflected in the Disclosure Schedule is not necessarily limited to matters required hereby to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedule. Such additional information is set forth for informational purposes and does not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Disclosure of such additional information will not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed, and disclosure of such information will not be deemed to enlarge or enhance any of the representations or warranties in this Agreement or otherwise alter in any way the terms of this Agreement. Inclusion of information in the Disclosure Schedule will not be construed as an admission that such information is material to the business, assets, liabilities, financial position, operations or results of operations of the Company.

Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party will bear all fees and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with, relating to, or arising out of the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including financial advisors', attorneys', accountants' and other professional fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided that (a) the fees payable to the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement shall be borne 50 percent by the Sellers and 50 percent by Purchaser, and (b) all costs and expenses related to the R&W Insurance Policy, including the total premium, underwriting costs, brokerage commissions and other costs and expenses of such policy, shall be borne by Purchaser.

.

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges that Perkins Coie LLP ("PC") serves as counsel to the Company, Sellers' Representative and certain Sellers, including in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. There may come a time, including after consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, when the interests of Sellers' Representative or any Seller, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may no longer be aligned or when, for any reason, the PC, Sellers' Representative, any Seller or the Company believes that PC can or should no longer represent each of the Company, Sellers' Representative and certain Sellers. The Parties understand and specifically agree that PC may withdraw from representing the Company and continue to represent Sellers' Representative or any Sellers, even if the interests of Sellers' Representative or such Seller (or any other Seller), on the one hand, and the interests of the Company, on the other hand, are or may be adverse, including in connection with any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and even though PC may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute or may be handling ongoing matters for the Company or any of its Affiliates, and each of Purchaser and the Company consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties intend that all communications at or before the Closing between the Company and any Seller (collectively, the "Seller Group") or any of them, on the one hand, and any of their attorneys, on the other hand, including all communications relating to the negotiation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any alternative transactions (collectively, the "Protected Communication"), and all associated rights to assert, waive and otherwise administer the attorney-client privilege and right of confidentiality of any member of the Seller Group (the "Associated Rights"), will, from and after the Closing, rest exclusively with Sellers' Representative and will not be transferred, assigned, conveyed or delivered, by operation of law or otherwise, to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any successor or assign of the foregoing (collectively, the "Purchaser Group"). Accordingly, the Parties hereby agree that, as of

immediately prior to the Closing, for the consideration set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged: (i) all Protected Communication and Associated Rights are, and will be deemed for all purposes, transferred, assigned, conveyed and delivered in full to the Sellers, and (ii) no member of the Purchaser Group will have any right, title, interest or benefit in or to any of the Protected Communication or any Associated Rights. Purchaser hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other members of the Purchaser Group, from and after the Closing, that Sellers' Representative will have the right to take possession and control of all Protected Communication effectively as of the Closing. If and to the extent that, at any time from and after the Closing, any member of the Purchaser Group will have any right or opportunity to assert or waive an attorney-client privilege or right of confidentiality with respect to any Protected Communication, each member of the Purchaser Group will not, and will cause the other members of the Purchaser Group not to, waive such privilege or right of confidentiality without the prior written consent of Sellers' Representative (which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in its sole discretion). In the event that a dispute arises between any member of the Purchaser Group, on the one hand, and a third party (other than a Seller or any of its Affiliates), on the other hand, (i) the Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of such privileged communications to such third party and (ii) Sellers' Representative, on behalf of Sellers, shall not unreasonably withhold consent to disclose privileged communications to Purchaser in connection with the defense of such dispute, or to a waiver of attorney-client privilege of such privileged communications is necessary to defend such dispute.

Section 11.18 Authorization of Sellers' Representative.

(a) Appointment of Sellers' Representative. Each Seller, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and such Seller's successors and permitted assigns, irrevocably constitutes and appoints Sellers' Representative as representative, attorney-in-fact and agent for such Seller and such Seller's successors and permitted assigns in connection with the execution and performance of this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto. This power is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and will not be affected by the death, incapacity, illness, dissolution or other inability to act of any Seller or any Seller's successors or permitted assigns.

(b) Authority of Sellers' Representative. Each Seller, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and such Seller's successors and permitted assigns, irrevocably grants Sellers' Representative full and exclusive power and authority: (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Seller and such Seller's successors and permitted assigns, and to accept delivery of, on behalf of such Seller and such Seller's successors and permitted assigns, such documents as may be deemed by Sellers' Representative, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; (ii) to make decisions on behalf of such Seller and such Seller's successors and permitted assigns with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and matters contemplated under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including adjustments to the Purchase Price; (iii) to acknowledge receipt at the Closing of the Sellers' Representative Payment by Sellers' Representative; (iv) to receive the Sellers' Representative Payment (the "Sellers' Representative Fund") as a fund for the payment of all costs and expenses

incurred by or on behalf of Sellers' Representative in connection with any adjustments to the Purchase Price or any dispute or claim under this Agreement; (v) to authorize deliveries to Purchaser of cash from the Adjustment Escrow Account and legally bind the Sellers to pay cash directly to Purchaser in satisfaction of any adjustments to the Purchase Price; (vi) after Closing, to give and receive notices and communications to or from Purchaser or the Escrow Agent relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent that this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication will be given or received by a Seller individually); (vii) to consent or agree to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or any exhibit, annex or schedule hereto or thereto; and (viii) to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Sellers' Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance.

(c) Reliance. Each Seller, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and such Seller's successors and permitted assigns, agrees to the following:

(i) In all matters in which action by Sellers' Representative is required or permitted, Sellers' Representative is exclusively authorized to act on behalf of such Seller, on behalf of such Seller and such Seller's successors and permitted assigns, notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement between Sellers or the Sellers' successors or permitted assigns, and Purchaser will be entitled to rely on any and all action taken by Sellers' Representative under this Agreement without any liability to, or obligation to inquire of, the Sellers or the Sellers' successors and permitted assigns, notwithstanding any knowledge on the part of Purchaser of any such dispute or disagreement. Purchaser will be fully protected in dealing with Sellers' Representative under this Agreement (or any other Transaction Document) and may rely upon any Sellers' Representative Decision.

(ii) Sellers' Representative will be entitled to rely on any directions received from the Sellers that collectively owned, as of immediately prior to the Closing, over 50 percent of the Shares. Sellers' Representative may engage such counsel, experts and other agents and consultants as it may deem necessary in exercising its powers and performing its function hereunder and (in the absence of willful misconduct by Sellers' Representative) will be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such Persons. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sellers' Representative as such will have no fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Seller and no duties or responsibilities except for those set forth herein, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on behalf of any Seller will otherwise exist against or with respect to Sellers' Representative as such.

(iii) Sellers' Representative shall be the sole and exclusive means of asserting or addressing any of the matters described in Section 11.18(b), and Purchaser shall have no obligation to deal with the Sellers with respect to any such matters. Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or

instruction of, Sellers' Representative that is within the scope of Sellers' Representative's authority pursuant to Section 11.18(b) (each a "Sellers' Representative Decision") shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Sellers. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Sellers' Representative Decision as being a notice or communication to, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Sellers.

(iv) The power and authority of Sellers' Representative, as described in this Agreement, will continue in force until all rights and obligations of the Sellers and the Sellers' successors and permitted assigns under this Agreement terminate, expire or are fully performed.

(v) The Sellers and the Seller's successors and permitted assigns who held a majority of the Shares immediately prior to the Closing will have the right, exercisable from time to time upon written notice delivered to Sellers' Representative and Purchaser, to remove Sellers' Representative, with or without cause, and to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation or removal of Sellers' Representative.

(vi) If Sellers' Representative resigns or is removed or otherwise ceases to function in its capacity as such for any reason whatsoever, and no successor is appointed by the Sellers and the Sellers' successors and permitted assigns who held a majority of the Shares immediately prior to the Closing within sixty (60) days, then Purchaser will have the right to appoint any Seller or any Seller's successor or permitted assign to act as Sellers' Representative to serve as described in this Agreement.

(d) Indemnification of Sellers' Representative. Sellers' Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by Sellers' Representative in connection with Sellers' Representative's services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from Sellers' Representative's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Sellers' Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission taken or omitted to be taken in good faith pursuant to the advice of counsel. Sellers will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers' Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, "Sellers' Representative Losses") arising out of or in connection with Sellers' Representative's execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Sellers' Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided that in the event that any such Sellers' Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sellers' Representative, Sellers' Representative will reimburse the Sellers the amount of such indemnified Sellers' Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to Sellers' Representative by the Sellers, any such Sellers' Representative Losses may be recovered by Sellers' Representative from (i) the funds in the Sellers' Representative Fund and (ii) Adjustment

Escrow Account at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Common Sellers; provided that while this section allows Sellers' Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Sellers from their obligation to promptly pay such Sellers' Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent Sellers' Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. Except as provided in Section 2.4(c), in no event will Sellers' Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Sellers or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Sellers set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to Sellers' Representative under this Section 11.18(d). The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of Sellers' Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Sellers' Representative Fund. The Sellers will not receive any interest or earnings on the Sellers' Representative Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to Sellers' Representative any ownership right that the Sellers may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. Sellers' Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Sellers' Representative Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Sellers' Representative will hold the Sellers' Representative Fund separate from its corporate funds, will not use the Sellers' Representative Fund for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make the Sellers' Representative Fund available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following completion of Sellers' Representative's responsibilities under this Agreement or such earlier date as directed by the Sellers, Sellers' Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Sellers' Representative Fund to the Common Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as the Common Sellers shall designate in writing to Sellers' Representative. For tax purposes, the Sellers' Representative Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Common Sellers at the time of Closing.

        The Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date indicated in the first sentence of this Agreement.
