(e) by the Sellers’ Representative if: (i) any of Buyer’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be inaccurate as of the Agreement Date, or shall have become inaccurate as of a date subsequent to the Agreement Date, such that the condition set forth in Section 7.1 would not be satisfied; or (ii) if any of Buyer’s covenants contained in this Agreement shall have been breached such that the condition set forth in Section 7.2 would not be satisfied; provided, however, that if an inaccuracy in any of Buyer’s representations and warranties as of a date subsequent to the Agreement Date or a breach of a covenant by Buyer is curable by Buyer through the use of reasonable efforts within ten (10) Business Days after the Sellers’ Representative notifies Buyer in writing of the existence of such inaccuracy or breach (the “Buyer Cure Period”), then the Sellers’ Representative may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) as a result of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the expiration of the Buyer Cure Period, provided Buyer, during the Buyer Cure Period, continues to exercise reasonable efforts to cure such inaccuracy or breach (it being understood that the Sellers’ Representative may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) with respect to such inaccuracy or breach if such inaccuracy or breach is cured prior to the expiration of the Buyer Cure Period).

If Buyer wishes to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a written notice stating that Buyer is terminating this Agreement and setting forth a brief description of the basis on which Buyer is terminating this Agreement.

9.2 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of Buyer Indemnified Parties. From and after the Closing, each Indirect Member (severally and not jointly, in accordance with its Pro Rata Portion) shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates (including the Company), and their respective direct and indirect partners, members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses directly or indirectly arising out of, related to, accrued or incurred in connection with:

(i) any breach of or inaccuracies in any representation or warranty made by the Members in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered to Buyer at the Closing (including the Members’ Closing Certificate) (other than Losses arising out of, related to, accrued or incurred in connection with any breach of or inaccuracies in any representations or warranties made in Article II by an Indirect Member, for which only the applicable Member responsible for such breach shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties);

(ii) any breach or nonperformance of any covenant or obligation in this Agreement to be performed by the Members or the Company hereunder (other than Losses arising out of, related to, accrued or incurred in connection with any breach or nonperformance of any covenant or obligation in this Agreement to be performed by an Indirect Member in his, her, or its capacity as an Indirect Member, for which only the applicable Indirect Member responsible for such breach or nonperformance shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties);

(iii) regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any inaccuracy in any information, or breach of any representation or warranty, set forth in a Consideration Spreadsheet, including any failure to properly calculate the portion of the Purchase Price payable to any Member;

(iv) any Member Transaction Expenses (to the extent not taken into account in determining the amount of the Closing Payment pursuant to Section 1.5(b));

(v) (A) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation committed by the Company (other than at the direction of the Buyer), the Member Representative, the Members or any of its or their Representatives or Affiliates in connection with the Transactions or (B) any willful breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Documents committed by the Company (other than at the direction of the Buyer), the Member Representative, the Members or any of its or their Representatives or Affiliates;

(vi) any Member-Related Claims;

(vii) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct prior to the Closing of the Company or any member of the Company’s senior management or, to the extent known to any member of the Company’s senior management, of its employees, agents or representatives;

(viii) any indemnifiable loss of the Company based upon a Third Party Claim under the Pearl Acquisition Agreement, including as a result of or arising from (A) any breach of the Fundamental Representations (as defined in the Pearl Acquisition Agreement) of Pearl set forth therein or in the other Transaction Documents, Schedules or certificates delivered in connection therewith (each capitalized term as defined in the Pearl Acquisition Agreement), (B) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Pearl under the Pearl Acquisition Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Pearl Acquisition Agreement), recognizing that the Company delayed the wind-down of Pearl and its subsidiaries, which is now addressed in Section 6.15, (C) the Excluded Liabilities (as defined in the Pearl Acquisition Agreement), or (D) all Taxes arising from the transactions contemplated by the Pearl Acquisition Agreement; and

(ix) any costs and expenses of enforcement to recover Losses due to any Buyer Indemnified Party under this Article IX.

(b) Materiality. For purposes of determining whether or not there has been an inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty as well as the amount of any Loss incurred in connection with any inaccuracy or a breach of a representation or warranty for which a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), all references to “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar qualifiers included in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded.

9.3 Limitations.

(a) Deductible. Subject to Section 9.3(c), no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made in Article III of this Agreement until such time as the total amount of all Losses (including the Losses arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Losses arising from any other inaccuracies or breaches of any such representations or warranties made in Article III of this Agreement) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of such Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $375,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible Amount”). If the total amount of such Losses exceeds the Deductible Amount, then the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for the portion of such Losses exceeding the Deductible Amount.

(b) Recourse to Escrow Fund. Subject to Section 9.3(c) and Section 9.8, recourse by the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the Escrow Fund shall be the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement against the Indirect Members for monetary Loss resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made in Article III of this Agreement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, the limitations set forth in Section 9.3(a) and Section 9.3(b) shall not apply (and shall not limit the indemnification or other obligations of any Indirect Member): (A) in the event of any claim of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach by or on behalf of the Company (other than at the direction of Buyer), the Sellers’ Representative, or any Member; or (B) for inaccuracies in or breaches of the Member Fundamental Representations.

(ii) The total amount of indemnification payments that each Indirect Member can be required to make to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a) (in excess of the amount, if any, that was withheld with respect to such Indirect Member as a contribution to the Escrow Fund and paid to Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party out of the Escrow Fund) shall be limited to an amount equal to such Indirect Member’s Member Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise restrict the right of any Buyer Indemnified Party to pursue remedies (X) under any Transaction Document or other agreement or instrument against the parties thereto or (Y) in connection with any claim of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach by or on behalf of the Company (other than at the direction of the Buyer), Sellers’ Representative or any Member (for which there shall be no limitation of liability hereunder).

(iii) With respect to (X) any claim of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach by or on behalf of the Company (other than at the direction of the Buyer), Sellers’ Representative or any Member; (Y) inaccuracies in or breaches of any Member

Fundamental Representations; and (Z) any of the matters referred to in Sections 9.2(a)(ii) through 9.2(a)(ix), inclusive, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may, in their sole and absolute discretion, seek to recover amounts in respect of such claims, without order of priority, (1) directly from the Indirect Members, and (2) from the Escrow Fund.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.3, after the release of the Thompson Released Amount, in the event Buyer is entitled to a release of any funds from the Escrow Fund on account of any Losses, (i) the amount released to Buyer from the Escrow Fund shall be equal to the amount of such Losses recoverable from the Escrow Fund pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement multiplied by the aggregate Pro Rata Portion of all Indirect Members (other than the Pro Rata Portion of T5) and (ii) T5 shall pay to Buyer T5’s Pro Rata Portion of all such Losses.

(d) The Indirect Members shall not be liable under this Article IX for any Losses based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Members contained in this Agreement solely to the extent the Sellers’ Representative can demonstrate that a Buyer Knowledge Party had actual knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Agreement Date.

(e) Subject to Section 9.3(f) below, this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and after the Closing for any claims arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement, including claims of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto; provided, however, that this Section 9.3(e) shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief; provided, further, that this Section 9.3(e) shall not prevent or limit any claim in the event of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach by or on behalf of the Company (other than at the direction of Buyer), the Sellers’ Representative or any Member.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement, including Section 9.3(e) and Section 9.8, shall limit the right of Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party to pursue any and all available remedies under any Transaction Document against the parties thereto.

(g) All payments (if any) made to a Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with a breach of this Agreement will be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by Law.

(h) No Buyer Indemnified Party is to be entitled to recover any Losses pursuant to this Article IX to the extent such Buyer Indemnified Party has recovered the full cash amount of such Losses pursuant to another provision of this Agreement or otherwise, so as to avoid duplication or “double counting” of the same Losses. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under more than one provision of this Agreement with respect to Losses, then such Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to only one indemnification or recovery for such Losses to the extent it arises out of the same set of circumstances and events. This Section 9.3(h) is intended solely to preclude a duplicate recovery by a Buyer Indemnified Party. Nothing herein shall preclude a Buyer Indemnified Party from seeking the maximum amount of potential indemnifiable Losses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

9.4 No Contribution. Each Member waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such Member shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or advancement of expenses or other right or remedy against the Buyer or the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which such Member may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Effective

as of the Closing, the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of itself and each Member, and each Member expressly waives and releases any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against Buyer or the Company.

9.5 Claims Procedures. Any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX (and, at the option of any Buyer Indemnified Party, any claim pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(v)) shall be brought and resolved as follows:

(a) If any Buyer Indemnified Party has or claims in good faith to have incurred or suffered, or believes in good faith that it may incur or suffer, any Loss for which it is or may be entitled to indemnification under this Article IX or for which it is or may otherwise be entitled to a monetary remedy relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, such Buyer Indemnified Party may deliver a claim certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) to the Sellers’ Representative. Each Claim Certificate shall: (i) contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Buyer Indemnified Party’s claim; and (ii) if practicable, contain a non-binding, preliminary, good faith estimate of the amount to which the Buyer Indemnified Party might be entitled. Such Buyer Indemnified Party may update a Claim Certificate from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof. If a claim under this Article IX may be brought under different or multiple sections, clauses or sub-clauses of Article IX (or with respect to different or multiple representations, warrants or covenants), then, subject to the conditions, qualifications and limitations and other provisions of this Article IX, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to bring such claim under any or each such section, clause, subclauses, representation, warranty or covenant (each a “Subject Provision”) that it chooses, and the Buyer Indemnified Party will not be precluded from seeking indemnification under any Subject Provision by virtue of the Buyer Indemnified Party not being entitled to seek indemnification under any other Subject Provision.

(b) After the giving of any Claim Certificate pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article IX shall be determined (i) by the written agreement between the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative, (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) by any other means to which the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative shall agree. For purposes of this Agreement, the judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.

(c) Subject to Section 9.7 and the limitations set forth in Section 9.3, in the event that any Losses are determined to be owed to any Buyer Indemnified Party, each Indirect Member shall promptly, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the determination of Losses hereunder, wire transfer to Buyer an amount equal to the product of (x) such Indirect Member’s Pro Rata Portion, multiplied by (y) the aggregate amount of such Losses (other than Losses arising out of, related to or incurred or accrued in connection with any breach of or inaccuracies in any representation or warranties made by an Indirect Member in Article II, any breach of a covenant by an Indirect Member or any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach by an Indirect Member, for which the applicable Indirect Member responsible for such breach or act shall wire transfer to Buyer an amount equal to the entire aggregate amount of such Loss).

9.6 Third Party Claims.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Buyer Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any claim or Action (whether against the Company, Buyer or any other Person) made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of any of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Buyer Indemnified Party

with respect to which the Indirect Members are obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall give the Sellers’ Representative reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to promptly give such written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indirect Members of their indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indirect Members are actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Buyer Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that have been or may be sustained by the Buyer Indemnified Party. With respect to any Third Party Claim for which any Buyer Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification hereunder, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend (at the expense of the Indirect Members) or to settle or compromise such claim; provided that any such settlement or compromise made without the Sellers’ Representative’s consent (not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld) shall not be determinative of the amount of any Losses under this Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative (at the expense of the Indirect Members) shall be entitled, at its sole option and expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of any such Third Party Claim; provided, further, that, for the sake of clarity, it is agreed that the Members shall not have the ability, without the prior written consent of such Buyer Indemnified Party, to petition, make any motion to, or take any other procedural action in connection with such Third Party Claim.

(b) Cooperation. The Sellers’ Representative, the Members, and the Buyer Indemnified Party shall each use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including, upon the reasonable request of Buyer, providing copies of records within the Member’s possession or control relating to such Third Party Claim and making available, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses), Representatives of the Members, as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

9.7 Release from Escrow.

(a) Within five (5) Business Days after the Expiration Date, Buyer will notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing of the amount that Buyer determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy all claims for indemnification that have been asserted against the Escrow Fund, but not resolved on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Expiration Date (each such claim a “Continuing Claim” and such amount, the “Retained Escrow Amount”). Subject to Section 9.7‎(b), within five (5) Business Days following the Expiration Date, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund an amount in the aggregate equal to (i) the amount held in the Escrow Fund as of the Expiration Date (as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) minus (ii) the Retained Escrow Amount, to the Payment Agent for distribution to Indirect Member, on behalf of the Direct Members, in accordance with each Indirect Member’s Pro Rata Portions. Upon the full and final resolution of any Continuing Claims, all remaining funds in the Escrow Fund shall be distributed to the Indirect Members, on behalf of the Direct Members, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 9.7(a).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.7(a), in the event of a Thompson Covenant Violation and related release of the Thompson Released Amount from the Escrow Fund, thereafter (i) T5 will no longer be permitted to receive any funds released from the Escrow Fund and (ii) any release from the Escrow Fund shall be made to the Indirect Members (other than T5), on behalf of the Direct Members, on a relative pro rata basis to the Indirect Members (other than T5) calculated by multiplying such amount to be so released from the Escrow Fund by a fraction the numerator of which is such Indirect Member’s Pro Rata Portion and the denominator of which is the aggregate Pro Rata Portion of all Indirect Members (other than T5).

(c) With respect to any amount to be released to the Direct Members pursuant to the Escrow Agreement or Section 9.7(a): (i) each distribution to be made from the Escrow Fund to a particular Indirect Member on behalf of a Direct Member shall be effected in accordance with the payment delivery instructions and in the amounts set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet; and (ii) all written instructions to be delivered to the Escrow Agent with respect to any distribution from the Escrow Fund shall be consistent with this Section ‎9.7(b).

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after any amounts are determined to be owed to Buyer from the Escrow Fund, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund such amounts payable to Buyer.

9.8 Bruce Thompson Escrow. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Bruce Thompson violates or breaches any provision of the Thompson Restrictive Covenant Agreement (“Thompson Covenant Violation”), T5 will forfeit its Pro Rata Portion of the amount remaining in the Escrow Fund at the time of such violation (“Thompson Released Amount”). Within (5) Business Days following the date of a Thompson Covenant Violation, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to the Thompson Released Amount to the Buyer. Notwithstanding the reduction of T5’s Pro Rata Portion, or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Bruce Thompson and T5 shall still remain responsible for T5’s Pro Rata Portion (without giving effect to any adjustment in T5’s Pro Rata Portion) of all Losses in accordance with the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.16, including any Losses that are otherwise limited to recovery from the Escrow Fund.

(iii) the provisions of this Section 10.15 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Member may have in connection with the Transactions; and

(iv) the provisions of this Section 10.15 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successor trustees and successors of each Member, and any references in this Agreement to a Member shall mean and include the successors to the rights of such Member hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.
