AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “Agreement”) is made as of the day of May, 2013 by and among Brown & Brown, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Parent”), Brown & Brown Merger Co., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Beecher Carlson Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and BC Sellers’ Representative LLC, as the Sellers’ Representative. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the text hereof are defined in Section 24 of this Agreement.

Preliminary Statement

Each of the Common Stockholders owns the number of the issued and outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and Class B Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock”; collectively, the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock are referred to as the “Common Stock”), of the Company set forth opposite his, her or its name under the caption “Total Common Shares” in Section 2.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

Each of the Preferred Stockholders owns the number of the issued and outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of the Company and in the series set forth opposite his, her or its name under the caption “Total Preferred Shares” in Section 2.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

The Preferred Stock and Common Stock, together, represent all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company.

The respective Boards of Directors of the Company, Parent, and Buyer have determined that the transactions described herein are in the best interests of such party and its respective stockholders. This Agreement provides for the acquisition of the Company by Parent pursuant to the merger of Buyer with and into the Company. At the effective time of such Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, and each Option and Warrant shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be converted into the right to receive a cash payment at Closing and contingent payments after Closing.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that this Agreement and the Merger must be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of (a) a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and voting Common Stock, voting together as a single class, (b) a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock voting together as a single class, and (c) a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class (collectively, the “Stockholders’ Approvals”). Immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Written Consent will be executed and delivered by the Investors and the Management Stockholders, which Written Consent when executed and delivered will be sufficient to obtain the Stockholders’ Approval.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual promises hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Buyer shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL (the “Merger”). The Company shall be the Surviving Corporation resulting from the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall continue to be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which has been approved and adopted by the respective Boards of Directors of the Company, Buyer and Parent.

1.1. Effective Time. A certificate of merger shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the Closing Date and the Merger shall be deemed effective as of the time of the filing of the certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”).

1.2. Articles of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to read in its entirety as set forth on Exhibit A.

1.3. Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to conform to the bylaws of Buyer as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.4. Directors and Officers. The directors of Buyer in office immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall continue to hold such office from the Effective Time until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed in the manner provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Surviving Corporation or as otherwise provided by Applicable Law. The officers of the Company in office immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue as the corresponding officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall continue to hold such offices from the Effective Time until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed in the manner provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Surviving Corporation or as otherwise provided by Applicable Law.

1.5. Conversion of Shares in Merger. Subject to the provisions of this Section 1, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Buyer or the Company:

(a) Each share of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (excluding Appraisal Shares and shares of Preferred Stock that were converted into shares of Common Stock at or immediately before the Effective Time) shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive from the Merger Consideration, the liquidation preference that such share’s series of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Liquidation Preferences”), plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on such share of Preferred Stock as provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

- 2 -

(b) Each share of Series D Preferred Stock that is converted to Common Stock at or immediately before the Effective Time shall also be entitled to receive from the Merger Consideration any accrued but unpaid dividends on such share of Series D Preferred Stock as provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. If the Merger Consideration is insufficient to permit the payment to the holders of Preferred Stock of the full amounts described in Sections 1.5(a) and (b), then the entire Merger Consideration shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Sections 1.5(a) and (b).

(c) To the extent any Merger Consideration remains after payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of the Liquidation Preferences and the accrued but unpaid dividends pursuant to Sections 1.5(a) and (b) (the “Remaining Merger Consideration”), each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (excluding Appraisal Shares, but including shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Preferred Stock) shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive an amount equal to (i) the Per Share Price, without any interest thereon, plus (ii) subject to Section 9, the Per Share Indemnity Escrow Consideration, if any, if and when released in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, plus (iii) the Per Share Working Capital Excess, if any. To the extent no Merger Consideration remains after payment of Merger Consideration in respect of the liquidation preferences of all series of Preferred Stock pursuant to Sections 1.5(a) and (b), each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(d) To the extent of any Remaining Merger Consideration, each Option, whether or not vested or exercisable, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive an amount equal to (i) the product of (X) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that would be issued to the holder of such Option if such Option were exercised in full multiplied by (Y) the Per Share Price Per Option, without any interest thereon, plus (ii) subject to Section 9, the Per Share Indemnity Escrow Consideration, if any, if and when released in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, plus (iii) the Per Share Working Capital Excess, if any.

(e) To the extent of any Remaining Merger Consideration, each Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive an amount equal to (i) the product of (X) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that would be issued to the holder of such Warrant if such Warrant were exercised in full multiplied by (Y) the Per Share Price Per Warrant, without any interest thereon, plus (ii) subject to Section 9, the Per Share Indemnity Escrow Consideration, if any, if and when released in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, plus (iii) the Per Share Working Capital Excess, if any.

- 3 -

(f) All shares of the capital stock of the Company which are held in the treasury of the Company shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(g) Each share of capital stock of Buyer issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for one newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and such shares shall, collectively, represent all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(h) Buyer, the Company, or the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable with respect to the conversion of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Agreement, Options pursuant to Section 1.5(d) of this Agreement or Warrants pursuant to Section 1.5(e) of this Agreement at the time such consideration is paid, such amounts as Buyer, the Company, or the Surviving Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of state, local, or foreign Tax law. Payments of the net consideration to be paid to holders of the Options at Closing shall be made by Company checks through the Company’s payroll process. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be timely paid to the appropriate Taxing Authority and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares (the “Appraisal Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 1.5, but rather the holders of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to the payment of the fair market value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to receive payment of the fair market value under Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair market value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 1.5, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing such shares. The Company shall give prompt written notice to Buyer of any written demands for appraisal of such Shares and shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands in excess of the payment of the applicable Liquidation Preference and accrued but unpaid dividends outlined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, in the case of Preferred Stock, or the Per Share Price, if any in the case of Common Stock, in respect of any Appraisal Share, without the written consent of Buyer, except to the extent that (i) the Company’s cash is used prior to the Closing to effect such payment or settlement, (ii) a full release is obtained from such holder and (iii) no obligations with respect to the Appraisal Shares remain following the Closing. As

- 4 -

provided in Section 1.6(f)(i)(H), any payment by the Company prior to the Effective Time with respect to Appraisal Shares shall be a Company Fee and Expense. Compliance by the Company in delivering notice of any statutory rights to dissent to holders of capital stock of the Company or in complying with the applicable provisions of the DGCL related to appraisal rights shall not serve as any waiver of the rights the Company has under Section 5 of the Voting Agreement against any holder who dissents or exercises any rights of appraisal in the Merger. If a payment is made by the Company prior to the Effective Time with respect to Appraisal Shares, the Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall adjust the Per Share Price to reflect the additional Company Fees and Expenses and the reduced number of Shares Outstanding, if applicable, arising from the payments so made.

1.6. Exchange Procedures and Payments at Closing.

(a) As a condition to payment of any amounts payable to a Stockholder hereunder, (i) any such holder of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (other than Appraisal Shares) shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock to the Company and deliver a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, together with its attachments, (ii) any such holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock and outstanding at the Effective Time shall surrender the certificate or certificates formerly representing shares of Preferred Stock to the Company and deliver a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2, together with its attachments, and (iii) any such holder of shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (other than Appraisal Shares) shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Preferred Stock to the Company and deliver a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-3, together with its attachments (the letters of transmittal in the form of Exhibits C-1, C-2 and C-3 collectively, the “Letters of Transmittal”).

(b) As a condition to payment of any amounts payable to an Optionholder hereunder, such Optionholder shall deliver an Option Cancellation and Payment Acknowledgement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 (the “Option Cancellation and Payment Acknowledgement”), together with its attachments, including its Option, if available, for cancellation by the Company.

(c) As a condition to payment of any amounts payable to a Warrantholder hereunder, such Warrantholder shall deliver a Warrant Cancellation and Payment Acknowledgement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 (the “Warrant Cancellation and Payment Acknowledgement”), together with its attachments, including its Warrant for cancellation by the Company.

(d) (i) Payments of the Liquidation Preferences and accrued but unpaid dividends pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation shall be made by Parent on the later of the Closing Date or five business days after the receipt by the Company of the certificates representing all of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock and a corresponding Letter of Transmittal, by wire transfer or, at the option of the Company, if such payment is less than $100,000 and not made at the Closing, by check as described in such Letter of Transmittal.

- 5 -

(ii) Payment of the accrued but unpaid dividends on each share of Series D Preferred Stock that is converted to Common Stock at or immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be paid by Parent when holders receive the Per Share Price pursuant to subsection (iii) below.

(iii) Payments of the Per Share Price (less the value of any outstanding Stockholder Loans) to the holders of the Common Stock (including Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock) pursuant to Section 1.5(c)(i) shall be made by Parent on the later of the Closing Date or five business days after the receipt by the Company of the certificates representing all of such holder’s shares of Common Stock and certificates formerly representing all of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock and a corresponding Letter of Transmittal, by wire transfer or, at the option of the Company, if such payment is less than $100,000 and not made at the Closing, by check as described in such Letter of Transmittal.

(iv) Payments of the Per Share Price Per Option to the holders of the Options pursuant to Section 1.5(d)(i) shall be made by Surviving Corporation on the first day payroll payments are made after the later of the Closing Date or five business days after the receipt by the Company of such holder’s Option Cancellation and Payment Acknowledgement, together with its attachments, by check through the Company’s payroll system as described in such Option Cancellation and Payment Acknowledgement.

(v) Payments of the Per Share Price Per Warrant to the holders of the Warrants pursuant to Section 1.5(e)(i) shall be made by Parent on the later of the Closing Date or five business days after the receipt by the Company of such holder’s Warrants and corresponding Warrant Cancellation and Payment Acknowledgement, together with its attachments, by wire transfer as described in such Warrant Cancellation and Payment Acknowledgement.

(e) Neither Parent, Buyer nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of a certificate formerly representing shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or any holder of Options or Warrants for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

(f) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 5.1 and 5.2, from the date hereof through the Closing, the Company shall be entitled to utilize available cash of the Company (i) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Contemplated Transactions”) by Sellers, the Company or the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers) (collectively, “Company Fees and Expenses”), including, without limitation, (A) legal and accounting fees and expenses, (B) the advisory fees, expenses and any other payments owed to the Company Financial Advisor pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated September 13, 2012, by and between the Company and the Company Financial Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”),

- 6 -

(C) any fees or expenses in the nature of prepayment penalties, or make-whole payments or prepayment penalties associated with the payment of Indebtedness, (D) fees and expenses (other than one-half of the filing fees under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act which Buyer has agreed to pay) to obtain any Consents required for the Contemplated Transactions (the “Consent Fees”), (E) $500,000 for the fees and expenses of the Sellers’ Representative (which the Sellers’ Representative may use to pay any Third Party Payables in excess of the amount set forth therefor on Schedule I or that are not set forth on the Third Party Payables Schedule), (F) any compensation payable by the Company or its Subsidiaries to any director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or advisor as a result of the Contemplated Transactions, including those amounts payable to those individuals to be agreed upon by the Parties in writing, (G) amounts paid to any holder of Appraisal Shares prior to the Effective Time in settlement of such holder’s demand to be paid the fair market value of such Appraisal Shares in connection with the Merger, (H) all premiums, commissions and other charges, fees and expenses incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the Post-Closing D&O Policy and the Required Tail Coverage and (I) any special, change-in-control, closing or sale bonus payable at any time before, on or after the Closing Date in connection with or by reason of the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, arising out of any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into or made prior to the Closing between or binding upon the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any director, officer, employee or agent of, or any consultant or advisor to, the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, and (ii) to repay outstanding Indebtedness. On the business day prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a schedule (the “Third Party Payables Schedule”) setting forth (x) all Company Fees and Expenses that have been paid after the Current Balance Sheet Date and prior to the Effective Time (the “Pre-Closing Third Party Payments”) and (y) all Company Fees and Expenses and all Indebtedness that remain unpaid after giving effect to the Pre-Closing Third Party Payments (the “Third Party Payables”). At the Closing, Parent shall pay or shall cause to be paid in full the Third Party Payables. For the avoidance of doubt, Company Fees and Expenses shall not include payroll taxes payable by the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to compensation attributable to the exercise of Options and Warrants (provided, however, certain payroll taxes are included within Current Liabilities).

After the date hereof, the stock, option and warrant transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Options or Warrants of the Company shall thereafter be made or recognized other than the issuance of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of Options or Warrants, the conversion of Preferred Stock into Common Stock, or the repurchase of Common Stock by the Company pursuant to the Management Restricted Stock Agreement. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.6 of this Agreement, each certificate theretofore representing shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, each Option and each Warrant, shall from and after the Effective Time be deemed to be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and shall represent for all purposes only the right to receive the consideration set forth in Section 1.5.

At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent (i) the estimated unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date but prior to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), together with (ii) a certificate of the Company (the “Company Pre-Closing Certificate”) executed on its behalf by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company that sets forth in reasonable detail the Company’s good faith estimate of the Merger Consideration and the Per Share Price (assuming conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time) as well as its estimates of the Working Capital Amount (the “Estimated Working Capital”), Indebtedness (“Estimated Indebtedness”), and Third Party Payables (“Estimated Third Party Payables”) as of the time immediately prior to the Effective Time, such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and other estimates shall be prepared in accordance with the Sample Working Capital Calculation and GAAP, using the policies, conventions, methodologies and procedures used by the Company in preparing the Audited Financial Statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2012, subject to exceptions for customary year-end adjustments and other modifications specifically identified in this Agreement. The amount set forth as Estimated Working Capital, Estimated Indebtedness, or Estimated Third Party Payables, as applicable, on the Company Pre-Closing Certificate shall be deemed to be Estimated Working Capital, Estimated Indebtedness and Estimated Third Party Payables, as applicable, for all purposes under this Agreement, provided that prior to the Company’s delivery of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Company Pre-Closing Certificate, Parent shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and consult with the Company with respect to the Company’s preparation of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the above estimates set forth in the Company Pre-Closing Certificate. A sample calculation of the Working Capital Amount and the Closing Date Balance Sheet calculated as of June 30, 2013 is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Sample Working Capital Calculation”).

(b) Post-Closing Determination. Within ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation will conduct a review (the “Closing Date Review”) of the Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date but prior to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and will prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a balance sheet (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and a computation of the Working Capital Amount as of the time immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Closing Date Working Capital Amount”). The Closing Date Working Capital Amount shall be calculated in accordance with the Sample Working Capital Calculation and GAAP, using the policies, conventions, methodologies used by the Company in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, as of and for the period ended December 31, 2012, subject to exceptions for customary year-end adjustments. The Surviving Corporation will make available to the Sellers’ Representative all records and work papers used in preparing the Closing Date Balance Sheet. If the Sellers’ Representative disagrees with the computation of the Closing Date Working Capital Amount or the items reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Sellers’ Representative may, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, records

- 8 -

and work papers, deliver a notice (an “Objection Notice”) on behalf of the Sellers to the Surviving Corporation setting forth the Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital Amount. If the Sellers’ Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice within such thirty (30) calendar day period, then the Closing Date Working Capital Amount shall be deemed to be finally determined. If the Sellers’ Representative delivers an Objection Notice to the Surviving Corporation, the Sellers’ Representative and the Surviving Corporation will use reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreement as to the computation of the Closing Date Working Capital Amount as soon as practicable, but if they cannot reach a final resolution within forty-five (45) calendar days after the Surviving Corporation has received the Objection Notice, the Surviving Corporation and the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers will jointly retain a firm to be agreed upon in writing prior to Closing (the “Firm”) to resolve their disagreement. The Surviving Corporation and the Sellers’ Representative will direct the Firm to render a determination within sixty (60) calendar days of its retention and the Surviving Corporation and the Sellers’ Representative and their respective agents will cooperate with the Firm during its engagement. The Firm will consider only those items and amounts in the Closing Date Balance Sheet set forth in the Objection Notice which the Surviving Corporation and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve. In resolving any disputed item, the Firm may not assign a value to any item 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. The Firm’s determination will be based on such review as the Firm deems necessary to make its determination, and on the definition of the Closing Date Working Capital Amount included herein. The determination of the Closing Date Working Capital Amount by the Firm will be conclusive and binding upon the Surviving Corporation, the Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers. The Surviving Corporation and the Sellers shall bear the costs and expenses of the Firm based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by or on behalf of such party, and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) and the Surviving Corporation shall each pay one-half of any retainer required by the Firm at the initiation of the engagement, such amount to be reallocated and credited or reimbursed by the other party depending on the final award of the contested amount by the Firm. The Closing Date Working Capital Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.8(b), is referred to herein as the “Actual Closing Date Working Capital Amount.”

(i) Payment by the Surviving Corporation. If the Actual Closing Date Working Capital Amount exceeds the Estimated Working Capital (the amount of such excess being defined as the “Working Capital Excess Adjustment”), the Surviving Corporation shall, within five (5) business days after the determination thereof, pay to the Sellers’ Representative, for subsequent distribution in accordance with this Agreement, an amount equal to the Working Capital Excess Adjustment, together with interest on such amount from the Closing Date to and including the date of payment at an interest rate equal to the interest such amount would have earned in the escrow through the Escrow Agreement, if any, after taking into account any amounts paid pursuant to Section 1.8(c)(iii). Such payment shall be made by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds in United States Dollars to the Sellers’ Representative in cash, by cashier’s or certified check, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Sellers’ Representative.

- 9 -

(ii) Payment by Sellers. If the Actual Closing Date Working Capital Amount is less than the Estimated Working Capital (the amount of such deficit being the “Working Capital Deficit Adjustment”), the Surviving Corporation and the Sellers’ Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to the Surviving Corporation, from the Escrowed Amount, an aggregate amount equal to the Working Capital Deficit Adjustment, together with interest earned in the escrow thereon, if any, as provided in the Escrow Agreement, after taking into account any amounts paid pursuant to Section 1.8(c)(iii). Such payment will be made in cash, by cashier’s or certified check, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Surviving Corporation.

(iii) Payment Pending Resolution of Dispute. If, pursuant to Section 1.8(a) above, a dispute exists as to the final determination of the Actual Closing Date Working Capital Amount, the Surviving Corporation and Sellers shall promptly pay to the other, as appropriate in accordance with Sections 1.8(c)(i) and 1.8(c)(ii), such amounts as are not in dispute, pending final determination of such dispute pursuant to Section 1.8(b).

(c) In the event that the Sellers’ Representative is dissolved, becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, Sellers holding, prior to the Closing, a majority of the voting Common Stock and Preferred Stock as set forth in Section 2.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall select another representative to fill such vacancy and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Sellers’ Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) All decisions and actions by the Sellers’ Representative, including, without limitation, any agreement between the Sellers’ Representative and the Surviving Corporation relating to the determination of the Actual Closing Date Working Capital Amount or the defense or settlement of any Proceedings with respect to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 9 hereof, shall be binding upon all of the Sellers, and no Seller shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(ii) all actions, decisions and instructions of the Sellers’ Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Sellers and no Seller shall have any cause of action against the Sellers’ Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement, except for fraud or willful breach of this Agreement by the Sellers’ Representative;

(iii) the provisions of this Section 1.9 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Seller may have in connection with the Contemplated Transactions;

- 11 -

(iv) the provisions of this Section 1.9 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives and successors of each Seller, and any references in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to a Seller or Sellers shall mean and include the successors to Sellers’ rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise;

(v) the Company Fees and Expenses shall include the sum of $500,000 to be paid to the Sellers’ Representative and to be used by the Sellers’ Representative for the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with the exercise by it of the authority granted to it herein (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of any accountants or other professional advisors retained by the Sellers’ Representative). From time to time after the Effective Time, Sellers’ Representative may distribute to Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective ownership of all shares of Preferred Stock that are not converted at the Effective Time, plus the Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, such portion of such sum as the Sellers’ Representative reasonably determines will not be needed for the payment of future costs and expenses. Any portion of such sum remaining after the final resolution of all claims asserted against, or asserted by or on behalf of, Sellers hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement and the final distribution to Sellers of all monies that are or could be distributable to them hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement shall be distributed to Sellers in their respective percentages based upon all shares of Preferred Stock that are not converted at the Effective Time, plus the Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding; provided, however, that if the Sellers’ Representative incurs costs and expenses disproportionately due to a Seller’s breach of representations and warranties made by such Seller in one of the Seller Deliveries, such breaching Seller shall reimburse the Sellers’ Representative for the additional costs and expenses disproportionately incurred; and

(vi) they will indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative, severally and not jointly, from and against any and all damages which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Sellers’ Representative in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any related agreement or instrument or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Sellers’ Representative under or in connection herewith, unless such damages resulted solely from the bad faith of the Sellers’ Representative.

(f) All fees and expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in excess of $500,000 shall be paid from any funds otherwise due to Sellers (including from the Escrowed Amount, if any, after such amount is released to Sellers’ Representative) in proportion to their ownership of all shares of Preferred Stock that are not converted at the Effective Time, plus the Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding as set forth in Section 2.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule attached hereto and if no funds are available from the Escrowed Amount, then directly from Sellers pro rata in accordance with their respective ownership of all Shares of Preferred Stock that are not converted at the Effective Time, plus the Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

2.5. Title to Personal Property; Encumbrances; Leases; Condition and Sufficiency.

(a) Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company has good and marketable title to all items of tangible personal property owned by the Company or such Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be and material to the business and operation of the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company, taken as a whole (collectively, the “Personal Property”), free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Exceptions. A listing of the owned Personal Property of the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company is attached at Section 2.5(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; however, no certification is made in regards to any owned Personal Property with individual values below $5,000 and leased Personal Property involving annual payments below $100,000. All Personal Property held under lease by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is held by the Company or a Subsidiary of

- 17 -

the Company under a valid and enforceable lease and neither the Company nor a Subsidiary of the Company is in default under or in breach of any such lease, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no event has occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would result in a default or breach by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company under such leases. No written notice has been given, or Proceeding asserted, adverse to the rights of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company under any such lease or affecting its rights to the continued use and possession of any such leased property. The Personal Property owned, leased or used in the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company is in good operating condition and fit for use in the Ordinary Course of Business, except for ordinary wear and tear and ordinary and routine maintenance and repairs. The rights, properties and assets owned by, or leased or licensed to, the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company are sufficient in all material respects for the operation and conduct of the business as presently conducted by the Company and such Subsidiaries.

(b) Except as set forth on Section 2.5(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) engaged in any risk-bearing or risk-sharing activities, in any capacity, including, without limitation, as a party to any Material Contract whereby the Company or any of the Subsidiaries agrees (A) to return any portion of its Commissions already received to any Carrier based upon the loss ratios generated by any insurance program that the Company or any of the Subsidiaries administers for such Carrier, (B) to participate in any underwriting gains or losses, and/or (C) otherwise to bear any portion of the total insurance risk placed through any insurance program administered by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries for any Carrier; or (ii) placed or provided any securities products or services for any Client Account. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing description of activities shall not include arrangements or agreements with a Carrier for the receipt of Contingent Revenues.

The Company has also made available to Parent the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of April 30, 2013 (the “Current Balance Sheet”) and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows of the Company for the four-month period then ended (collectively, the “Current Financial Statements”). The date of the Current Balance Sheet is referred to herein as the “Current Balance Sheet Date.” The Audited Financial Statements, the Current Financial Statements and the interim financial statements (the “Interim Financial Statements”) to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof (collectively, the “Financial Statements”) have been (or, in the case of the Interim Financial Statements, will be) prepared from the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied as of the date the financial statements were prepared and applied consistently with past practices (“GAAP”) and fairly present the financial

- 18 -

condition and results of operation of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the dates of, and for the periods covered by, such Financial Statements. The Audited Financial Statements have been certified without qualification by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent public accountants.

5.6. Takeover Statutes.

(a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement;

(b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation contained in this Agreement required to be performed by the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to or at the Closing;

(c) any amounts in excess of the Per Share Price, if any, required to be paid to holders of Appraisal Shares that do not otherwise qualify as a Company Fee and Expense, including any interest required to be paid thereon and the costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other professionals incurred in connection with the determination of such amount required to be paid;

- 49 -

(d) without duplication, (i) any Third Party Payable that is not set forth on the Third Party Payables Schedule, and (ii) any Indebtedness outstanding after the Closing Date;

(e) any Pre-Closing Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries (except to the extent such Taxes were included as a Liability in the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital Amount), including the Tax indemnification set forth in Section 10.4(c) of this Agreement;

(g) subject to Section 10.8, the amount of any transition costs for transition employees in excess of $95,000 (“Transition Costs”).

9.2. Of the Seller Indemnities. Sellers and each of their officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, Affiliates, assigns and Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless (including by reimbursement for Losses) by Parent and Buyer (including the Surviving Corporation, as successor to Buyer after the Effective Time), as and to the extent provided for herein, in an amount, in the aggregate, up to the Aggregate Cap (except as set forth herein), for all Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties, or any of them, in connection with, based upon, arising from, or relating to, each and all of the following:

(a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Buyer in Section 3 of this Agreement; and

(b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation contained in this Agreement required to be performed by (i) Parent or Buyer prior to, at or after the Closing, or (ii) by the Surviving Corporation after the Closing.

9.3. Claims for Indemnification. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification under this Section 9, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party obligated to provide indemnification under this Section 9 (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim, but the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder except, and then only to the extent, the Indemnifying Party was actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In the event of any such claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any Proceeding by a third party, the notice shall specify the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom, if known.

- 50 -

9.4. Third-Party Claims. In connection with any claim which may give rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any Proceedings by a Person other than the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice under Section 9.3(a), assume the defense of any such Proceeding (at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party) if and only if (a) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any Losses resulting from such Proceeding, (b) the Proceeding does not seek to impose any liability on the Indemnified Party other than for monetary damages and (c) where a Buyer Indemnified Party is the Indemnified Party, the Proceeding does not relate to a Buyer Indemnified Party’s relationship with its customers or employees. If the Indemnifying Party is entitled to assume, and assumes, the defense of any such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Proceedings and shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or Proceeding, the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Proceeding, with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume, or does not assume within thirty (30) days after the date such claim is made, the defense of any such claim or Proceeding: (i) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to defend against such claim or Proceeding and shall have the right to undertake all steps in the defense or settlement thereof; provided that the Indemnified Parties shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or Proceeding, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party thereafter seeks to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such third party claim or the amount or nature of any such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the Indemnified Party did not defend or settle such third party claim in a reasonably prudent manner.

9.5. Survival of Representations; Claims for Indemnification. All representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 2 hereof, and all representations and warranties made by Parent and Buyer in Section 3 hereof, shall survive the Closing and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, unless prior to such time a claim is asserted in writing and identified as a claim for indemnification based upon the good faith belief of the party making such claim that a bona fide breach of any of such representations and warranties has occurred; provided, however, that (a) the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 2.16 hereof shall survive the Closing and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time two (2) years following the Closing Date, (b) all representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 2 hereof and all representation and warranties made by Parent and Buyer in Section 3 hereof that, in either case, are included in the definition of “Special Matter” shall survive the Closing and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 15, 2015, unless prior to such times a claim is

- 51 -

asserted in writing and identified as a claim for indemnification based upon the good faith belief of the party making such claim that a bona fide breach of any of such representations and warranties has occurred. All covenants and agreements herein that by their terms extend past the Closing shall survive the Closing without limitation as to time; provided, however, that except for the indemnification obligations set forth in Sections 9.1(a) and 9.2(a) related to breaches of representations and warranties which survive for the limited periods described above, the other indemnification obligations set forth in Sections 9.1, 10.4 and 10.5 shall only survive the Closing and any investigation at any time made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 15, 2015.

9.6. Limits.

(a) None of the Buyer Indemnified Parties nor the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to Losses under Section 9.1 until the aggregate amount of all Losses under such Sections equals or exceeds $500,000.00 (the “Threshold Amount”), at which time such Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount.

(b) The maximum aggregate amount that either the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to receive as indemnity for all Losses under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, respectively, shall not exceed the Escrowed Amount remaining in escrow at the time a claim is properly made (the “Aggregate Cap”). Any liability under Section 9.1 shall be satisfied to the extent of the Aggregate Cap exclusively out of the Escrowed Amount as provided in the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Aggregate Cap shall not limit the obligation of the Buyer to pay the Merger Consideration at the Closing.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Buyer Indemnified Parties nor the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be subject to the limits set forth in (a) above with respect to any Losses incurred by either of the Indemnified Parties with respect to or as a result of any Special Matter or, in regards to the Buyer Indemnified Parties, with respect to reimbursement of Aged Net Receivables, Transition Costs or Mississippi Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities.

(d) With respect to any representation or warranty that contains a materiality qualifier (including “material” and “in all material respects”), such materiality qualifier shall be deemed to have been satisfied and a breach of such representation or warranty shall be deemed to have occurred if the aggregate Losses arising from such breach or series of related breaches equals or exceeds $100,000. Solely for purposes of determining the amount of Losses actually incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 shall be read without giving effect to any materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect, or similar materiality qualification set forth therein.

9.7. Losses. Except in respect of a third party claim, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement for any Losses in the nature of punitive, incidental or consequential damages. Each of the Indemnified Parties and the

- 52 -

other parties to this Agreement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available in order to minimize the Losses for which indemnification is provided to it under this Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Buyer Indemnified Party, including the Surviving Corporation as successor in interest to Buyer, shall be entitled to recover under this Section 9 for Losses for any item (a) that is specifically included in the calculation of the Merger Consideration Deductions and taken into account to reduce the amount of the Merger Consideration, solely to the extent of such reduction, or (b) to the extent such item specifically caused the payment of a working capital adjustment pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof, solely to the extent of such adjustment. The preceding sentence is intended only to avoid a Buyer Indemnified Party receiving duplicate payments for a Loss.

9.8. Insurance Proceeds and Third Party Payments.

The amount of Losses recoverable by any Indemnified Party under this Section 9 with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by any amount actually paid to such Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof), with respect to the Losses to which such indemnity claim relates, from an insurance carrier or a third party, including any amount actually paid from any third party from which the Company has contractual indemnification rights. Each of the Indemnified Parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to pursue, and to cause its Affiliates to pursue, all insurance claims and claims against third parties to which it may be entitled in connection with any Losses incurred, and the Sellers’ Representative and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with each other and with such other Indemnified Parties in pursuing such claims with respect to any Losses or any indemnification obligations with respect to Losses. If any Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof) receives any insurance or third party payment in connection with any claim for Losses for which it has already received an indemnification payment pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, it shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within thirty (30) days of receiving such insurance or third party payment, an amount equal to the excess of (A) the amount previously received by such Indemnified Party under this Section 9 with respect to such claim plus the amount of the insurance or third party payments received, over (B) the amount of Losses with respect to such claim which such Indemnified Party has become entitled to receive under this Section 9.

9.9. Exclusive Remedy. (a) The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 9 will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties to this Agreement with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and (b) recourse by the disbursement of funds through the Escrow Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to claims covered by this Section 9.

9.10. Errors and Omissions and Employment Practices Liability Extended Reporting (“Tail”) Coverage.

(a) On or before the Closing Date, the Company will arrange to purchase, at the Company’s expense (to be treated as Company Fees and Expenses hereunder), extended reporting period (“tail”) coverage extensions for each of the Company’s professional liability (E&O) insurance policy and employment practices liability (EPL) insurance policy (each and collectively, the “Required Tail Coverage”).

- 53 -

The Required Tail Coverage shall extend for a period of at least five (5) years from the Effective Time, shall have the same limits and deductibles currently in effect, and shall otherwise be in form reasonably acceptable to Parent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the endorsement or policy evidencing the Required Tail Coverage shall not contain an “other insurance” or similar provision that purports to make the Required Tail Coverage excess rather than primary and non-contributory coverage as to any error or omission or EPL occurrence arising before later of the Closing Date and the Effective Time (an “Excess Coverage Provision”). If the Required Tail Coverage is procured as an endorsement to the Company’s existing E&O insurance policy or EPL insurance policy, and the existing policy contains an Excess Coverage Provision, the Required Tail Coverage endorsement shall amend the existing policy to (i) remove the Excess Coverage Provision and (ii) state expressly that the Required Tail Coverage shall be primary and non-contributory as to any error or omission or EPL occurrence arising before the Effective Time.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the parties’ intent that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9: (i) as between the Required Tail Coverage and any coverage that might be available under Parent’s policies, the Required Tail Coverage shall be primary and non-contributory; (ii) Parent may seek indemnity from the Escrowed Amount for any deductibles or retentions under the Required Tail Coverage (“Required Tail Deductible”) to the extent permitted under this Section 9.

(c) After the Closing, with respect to any Action that names or otherwise involves the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or their Affiliates as to which defense and/or coverage may be available for the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or their Affiliates under the Required Tail Coverage, Parent may, at its option and sole discretion, directly pay any applicable Required Tail Deductible under the Required Tail Coverage to the appropriate Carrier and seek indemnity for such Required Tail Deductible pursuant to this Section 9. Nothing in this Section 9.11 shall limit or affect the parties’ indemnity rights and obligations under Section 9.1.

9.11. Tax Treatment. The parties agree (a) to treat all payments made under this Section 9 as adjustments to the aggregate consideration paid hereunder, (b) that appropriate adjustments shall be made in calculating the amount of any Losses for which indemnification is sought under this Section 9 to take account of any net Tax benefit that will actually be realized for the year of the Loss by the Surviving Corporation related to the payment or incurrence of any item giving rise to such Loss.

10. Post-Closing Agreements.

10.1. Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall obtain a directors and officers liability insurance policy (the cost of which shall be a Company Fee and Expense) with coverage for post-Effective Time periods for the benefit of any Person who was an officer, director or manager of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or who served as a fiduciary of any Employee Benefit Plan maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (the “Post-Closing D&O Policy”).

- 54 -

10.2. Release of Sellers, Directors and Officers. In consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, effective at the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation hereby releases Sellers and the directors, managers, and officers of the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company serving prior to Closing for any and all actions taken or omitted to be taken by them in connection with the conduct of the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company for any and all periods prior to the Closing and agree not to assert any Proceedings against any of them for any such actions, whether in their capacities as officers, managers, directors or controlling parties of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to modify, impair or limit the rights of Buyer Indemnified Parties against Sellers with respect to any claim arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions.

10.3. Employee Matters. Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to continue the employment of those employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company agreed upon in writing between the Company and Buyer who are employed on the date prior to the Closing Date (the “Continuing Employees”) at the same wage and salary levels as in effect thereon. Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to the Continuing Employees employee benefits, including medical, dental, disability, severance, and 401(k) plan benefits as it shall determine in its sole discretion. Subject to the provisions of any written employment agreement, nothing contained in this Section will preclude Parent or the Surviving Corporation at any time after the Closing Date from terminating in its discretion the employment of any Continuing Employee, or from amending or terminating any Employee Benefit Plan; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall bear all costs (including costs associated with severance benefits, back pay, civil penalties, or benefits coverage under an Employee Benefit Plan) incurred as a result of any such termination. This Agreement shall not affect the “at will” employment of any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries and does not constitute an agreement to employ any Person or provide any level of wages, salary or benefits to any Persons for any duration.

10.4. Tax Matters.

(a) Pre-Closing Tax Period Tax Returns. The Sellers’ Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file each Tax Return to be filed by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date which applies to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. The Sellers’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Parent, no later than thirty (30) days (or in the case of income Tax Returns, forty-five (45) days) prior to the due date for filing (or such shorter period agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and Parent), such Tax Return in final form, and Parent will have the right to review and comment on each such Tax Return and will make such revisions to such Tax Return to the extent relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period as are reasonably requested by Parent, if received at least five (5) days (or, in the case of income Tax Returns, twenty (20) days) prior to the due date for filing (or such later date agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and Parent). If Parent does not deliver to the Sellers’ Representative its dispute (described in the previous sentence) within the permitted time periods (as described in the previous sentence), then the relevant Tax Return shall be deemed to be finally determined and the Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to file such Tax

- 55 -

Return. If Parent does deliver its dispute to the Sellers’ Representative within the requisite time period, the Sellers’ Representative and Parent agree to consult and to resolve in good faith any issue arising as a result of the review of such Tax Returns and to mutually consent to the filing of such Tax Returns as promptly as possible. To the extent required by the terms of Sections 9.1(e) and 10.4(c) of this Agreement, payable from the Escrowed Amount remaining in escrow at the time a claim is properly made as described in Section 9.6(b) of this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to receive as indemnity any Taxes shown as due by the Company and its Subsidiaries on the Tax Returns described in this Section 10.4(a) (and excluding such Taxes included as a liability in the calculation of the Working Capital Amount and net operating losses deductible against the income giving rise to any Pre-Closing Taxes). No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification under Sections 9.1(e) and 10.4(c) of this Agreement with respect to any Tax Claim arising in connection with any amendment of any Tax Return of the Company or any Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period, or the making of any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case absent the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative with respect to such amendment or election and as otherwise in accord with Sections 10.4 and 10.5 herein.

(b) Preparation of Tax Returns.

(i) All Tax Returns referred to in (a) will be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

(ii) Parent will prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for periods commencing after the Closing Date and will be responsible for paying any Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns (subject to the indemnification provisions hereunder).

(c) Tax Indemnification. Without duplication and subject to Section 9 as it applies to Tax matters, in addition to claims for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 9 of this Agreement relating to Tax matters, the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be indemnified and held harmless, against all Losses reasonably incurred, suffered or sustained by them, directly or indirectly, arising out of, as a result of, or with respect to or in connection with:

(i) all Losses attributable to (A) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (B) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502- 6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign law or regulation, and (C) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by contract (other than any contract the only parties of which are the Company and its Subsidiaries) or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing; and

- 56 -

(ii) in the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), (A) the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any entity classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership or disregarded entity in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time); provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (such as the deductions for depreciation and real estate taxes) will be apportioned to the Pre-Closing Tax Period in a manner consistent with the methodology described in clause (A) hereof, (B) the amount of Delaware franchise taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined using the proration method that is applicable in Delaware upon the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation changing the Company’s authorized number of shares of capital stock, and (C) the amount of other Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. If any party (the “Paying Party”) pays or has paid a Tax for which the other party (the “Non-Paying Party”) is responsible pursuant to the apportionment set forth in this Section 10.4, the Paying Party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Non-Paying Party, unless such payment was taken into account in the calculation of the Working Capital Amount.

(d) Satisfaction of Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) this Section 10.4 and Section 10.5 shall govern the procedures for all contests, defenses and indemnification obligations related to or attributable to Tax Claims, and (B) Sections 9, 10.4 and 10.5 shall govern the procedures for all contests, defenses and indemnification obligations for Claims relating to Tax Matters that are not Tax Claims.

(e) Section 338 Election. No election under Section 338(g) of the Code, or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, may be made with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Contemplated Transactions without the Seller Representative’s written consent (on behalf of Sellers).

(f) Transaction Tax Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties agree that the expenses and other costs incurred by the Company in connection with the Contemplated Transactions shall be reported on applicable income Tax Returns as income Tax deductions of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and shall not be treated or reported as income Tax deductions for a Post-Closing Tax Period (including under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) or any comparable or similar provision under state or local Applicable Law) unless otherwise required by Applicable Law. Unless otherwise requested by

- 57 -

the Sellers’ Representative, Parent shall cause the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to make an election under IRS Revenue Procedure 2011-29 to treat seventy percent (70%) of any success-based fees that were paid by or on behalf of the Company or the Surviving Corporation as an amount that did not facilitate the Merger and therefore as deductible in a Pre-Closing Tax Period for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

(g) Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of Section 9, on the one hand, and Sections 10.4 and 10.5, on the other hand, the provisions of Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall govern.

10.5. Cooperation on Tax Matters; Tax Claims.

(a) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Each of Parent and the Sellers’ Representative will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of all Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other claim with respect to Taxes (including the provision of appropriate powers of attorney). Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, Tax Return, litigation or other claim and using commercially reasonable efforts to make employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Parent agrees to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the relevant taxable periods (and any extensions thereof), and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Body.

(b) Amendment and Filing of Certain Pre-Closing Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except as may be required by Applicable Law, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) may amend any Tax Return with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including a Straddle Period) without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Notice of Tax Claims. If Parent or any of its Affiliates receives any notice of a pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment, or adjustment relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries which may give rise to an indemnification obligation of the Sellers hereunder (a “Tax Claim”), Parent will notify the Sellers’ Representative within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of such notice. The failure to so notify the Sellers’ Representative shall not relieve the Sellers’ Representative of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Sellers’ Representative or to the extent the survival periods stated herein have lapsed.

- 58 -

(i) With respect to any Tax Claim that relates to one or more taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice of a Tax Claim to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to Parent and at the expense of the Sellers’ Representative, of the settlement or defense thereof (to the extent relating to the taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date), and Parent shall cooperate with the Sellers’ Representative in connection therewith; provided that the Sellers’ Representative shall permit Parent to participate in (in the manner described in clause (iii) below), but not control, such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by Parent (the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by Parent) and further provided that the Sellers’ Representative shall not pay or settle such Tax Claim (or portion thereof) without the prior written consent of Parent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If (A) the Sellers’ Representative does not notify Parent within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Sellers’ Representative’s notice of such Tax Claim hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, or (B) the Sellers’ Representative elects in writing not to conduct the defense and settlement of such Tax Claim, Parent shall have the right to contest and defend the claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to Section 10.4(c). In such case, the Sellers’ Representative will reimburse Parent periodically (but not more than once each calendar quarter) for the reasonable cost of any third-party expenses (if any) incurred to defend against the portion of such Tax Claim relating to the taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, which amounts shall be treated as Losses. If the Sellers’ Representative does not conduct the defense and settlement of a Tax Claim, Parent shall not pay or settle such Tax Claim without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(ii) With respect to any Tax Claim that relates to a Straddle Period, Parent and the Sellers’ Representative shall jointly control the resolution and defense thereof and shall keep each other informed on a regular basis regarding the status of any such Tax Claim. Parent and the Sellers’ Representative will separately be responsible for their own fees and expenses incurred in the settlement and defense of such Tax Claim. Neither Parent nor the Sellers’ Representative shall pay or settle any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Additionally, clause (i) above shall apply to the Pre-Closing Tax Period portion of the Straddle Period.

(iii) For purposes of clause (i) above, if Parent or the Sellers’ Representative elects to participate in the settlement or defense of a Tax Claim pursuant to clause (i), such party will have the right to (A) participate in the defense of the Tax Claim with counsel selected by it (at its own cost), (B) be kept reasonably informed on a timely basis of all material communications relating to the Tax Claim (other than privileged communications), including e-mails and filings, (C) be consulted on all material decisions relating to the defense of the Tax Claim, including suggesting strategic approaches to the defense, which suggestions the controlling party shall consider in good faith, (D) participate in meetings with Governmental Bodies with respect to the Tax Claim, and (E) review and comment on drafts of material submissions (including settlement proposals) to Governmental Bodies (with such drafts and comments being provided on a timely basis).

10.8 Transition Costs Agreement. Company and Parent have agreed upon certain transition costs as set forth on Schedule 10.8, which identifies the names of certain Company employees and the length of time they will remain as employees of the Surviving Corporation after the Closing. Additional transition costs will not be deemed to be Transition Costs unless they are consented to by Sellers’ Representative. Sellers’ Representative will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent for up to a maximum of three months total transition time for any individual set forth on Schedule 10.8 based on the representations of Dan Donovan and Steve Denton.

(b) This Agreement may be terminated and the Contemplated Transactions abandoned by the Company if the Closing does not occur on or before the Termination Time unless the failure of such occurrence is due to the failure of the Company to perform or observe their respective agreements as set forth in this Agreement required to be performed or observed at or before the Closing.
