The actual date of the Closing is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3    Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Parent, Company, the FT Stockholders and Merger Sub will cause a certificate of merger, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged, and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings and take all other actions required or appropriate under the DGCL or the Laws of any jurisdiction in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is qualified to do business or holds a Permit issued by a Governmental Authority, including without limitation any filings, recordings or actions that may be necessary or appropriate so that as of the Effective Time the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Company may continue to engage in the businesses in which the Company and each such Subsidiary was engaged immediately prior to the Effective Time in each jurisdiction in which the Company and each of its Subsidiaries engaged in business. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with, and received the endorsed approval of, the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by the Company and Parent in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4    Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth herein and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, all property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses, and authority of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, and duties of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.5    Merger Consideration. (a) The aggregate merger consideration to be paid by Parent to the Company Stockholders in respect of all of the Company Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”) shall be the sum of (i) $45,000,000.00, as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.7 (the “Cash Consideration”), plus, (ii) subject to subsection (b) below, 10,000,000 shares of the Parent Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) (which for purposes of this Agreement have been valued at $1.50 per share), plus (iii) the Earn-Out Amount, if any. At the Closing, Parent shall (x) pay to each of the Company Stockholders for each share of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time the Per Share Consideration portion of the Cash Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account in the United States as each Company Stockholder shall designate in writing and (y) issue to each Company Stockholder for each share of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time the Per Share Consideration of the maximum number of shares of the Stock Consideration that may be issued in accordance with Rule 14c-2(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act (the “Closing Stock Consideration”). The Parent shall issue to each Company Stockholder for each share of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time the Per Share Consideration of the remaining shares of the Stock Consideration that were not issued at the Closing (the “Post-Closing Stock Consideration”) as soon as practicable in accordance with Rule 14c-2(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Any amounts paid by Parent pursuant to Section 1.8(a) shall be applied against and deducted from the Cash Consideration payable at the Closing in accordance with this Section 1.5(a).

(a)    The Stock Consideration will be subject to adjustment or modification as follows: if there is a reverse stock split of the Parent Common Stock any time between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the Stock Consideration shall be that number of shares of the Parent Common Stock equal to $15,000,000 divided by the volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market for the 60 trading day period ending on last trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date, provided that if such reverse stock split occurs fewer than 60 days prior to such last trading day, the period shall be the period from the trading date immediately after the day on which such reverse stock split occurs and ending on the last trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date. If such a reverse stock split occurs between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the number of shares comprising the Closing Stock Consideration shall be the maximum number of shares that may be issued at the Closing in accordance with Rule 14c-2(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, and the Post-Closing Stock Consideration shall consist of the remaining number of shares comprising the Stock Consideration (and such remaining shares shall be adjusted or modified in the same manner as other shares of Parent Company Stock as though such remaining shares were issued and outstanding immediately prior to such reverse stock split).

(b)    Within ninety days (90) after the end of each Earn-Out Period, Parent shall pay to each of the Company Stockholders, for each share of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Per Share Consideration of the earn-out amount (the “Earn-Out Amount”) (if any) for the applicable Earn-Out Period in accordance with Schedule 1.5(c).

(c)    Parent, in its sole discretion, shall have the option of paying up to one-half of the Earn-Out Amount payable for any Earn-Out Period in Parent Common Stock with such Parent Common Stock being valued at the greater of $1.50 or the volume weighted average price per share of the Parent Common Stock on the Trading Market for the sixty (60) trading day period ending on the last trading day of such Earn-Out Period; provided, however, that (i) if the EBITDA for any of the Earn-Out Periods is equal to or greater than 130% of the applicable EBITDA Target for such Earn-Out Period as set forth in Schedule 1.5(c), or (ii) if at the time the Earn-Out Amount for an Earn-Out Period is payable in accordance with Section 1.5(c), the Parent Common Stock is not then listed for trading on a Trading Market, then the Earn-Out Amount for that Earn-Out Period shall be paid entirely in cash.

(d)    The parties acknowledge and agree that the Earn-Out Amount represents consideration payable for the capital stock of the Company and not consideration for the services or the employment of any individuals.

Section 1.6    Closing Statement.

(a)    In order to facilitate payment of the amounts referenced in Section 1.5, the Company shall deliver to Parent, not fewer than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) the amount of any Company Transaction Expenses that will remain unpaid at the Closing Date and (ii) a calculation of the Closing Working Capital Ratio. The Closing Statement shall include the name of each Person to whom any Company Transaction Expenses are to be paid on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.8(a), the amount of each such payment and the payment instructions for each such Person.

(b)    The Closing Statement shall be accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that as of the Closing, the Working Capital Ratio will be not less than 1:1 and that the available free and unrestricted cash of the Company will be not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), exclusive of any amounts necessary to pay Company Transaction Expenses or any Indebtedness of the Company to be paid on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.8(a). The Closing Statement and such accompanying evidence shall be prepared (and the estimates, determinations and calculations contained therein shall be made) in accordance with this Agreement, including Section 1.8.

Section 1.7    Post-Closing Adjustment of Merger Consideration.

(a)    Within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative, a post-closing statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s calculation of the Working Capital Ratio as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital Ratio”). During the fifteen (15) day period after the Post-Closing Statement has been provided to the Stockholder Representative by Parent (the “Review Period”) the Stockholder Representative may dispute any of the items in the Post-Closing Statement by delivery of a written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to Parent, which Dispute Notice shall provide reasonable detail concerning each item that the Stockholder Representative disputes in the Post-Closing Statement, include reasonable support for each such position, and set forth the Stockholder Representative’s determination of the Closing Working Capital Ratio. If the Stockholder Representative does not deliver to Parent a Dispute Notice prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Company Stockholders shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any right to object to the Post-Closing Statement delivered by Parent and the Post-Closing Statement delivered by Parent shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Parent, the Company and the Company Stockholders. If the Stockholder Representative delivers a Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Parent of such Dispute Notice, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, attempt to resolve the items disputed by the Stockholder Representative in such Dispute Notice. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative resolve all of the disputed items in such Dispute Notice during such thirty (30) day period, the Post-Closing Statement shall be revised to reflect such resolution, and as so revised shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Parent, the Company and the Company Stockholders. If the Stockholder Representative delivers a Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of the Review Period and Parent and the Stockholder Representative do not resolve all of the disputed items in such Dispute Notice within such thirty (30) day period, they shall jointly engage a nationally recognized accounting firm reasonably acceptable to both Parent and the Stockholder Representative (the “Independent Accountants”) (it being acknowledged that an objection to proposed Independent Accountants shall be reasonable if such accounting firm has previously provided services to Parent, the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any thereof or the Stockholder Representative during the preceding three-year period) and submit the disputed items to the Independent Accountants for resolution. The Independent Accountants shall act as experts and not arbiters and shall determine only those items on the Post-Closing Statement that continue to be disputed by Parent and the Stockholder Representative as of the time of engagement of the Independent Accountants. Promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days after such engagement, the parties shall cause the Independent Accountants to deliver a written report to Parent and the Stockholder Representative as to the proper treatment of the disputed items, and the Independent Accountants’ determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Parent, the Company and the Company Stockholders and the Post-Closing Statement shall be revised to reflect such resolution. The Post-Closing Statement, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.7(a), shall be conclusively deemed the “Final Post-Closing Statement” and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Parent, the Company and the Company Stockholders. The Closing Working Capital Ratio set forth in the Final Post-Closing Statement is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Working Capital Ratio.” The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants incurred in connection with the resolution of disputes pursuant to this Section 1.7(a) shall be borne entirely by (i) Parent, if the difference between Parent’s calculation of Closing Working Capital Ratio and the Final Closing Working Capital Ratio exceeds by more than ten percent the difference between the Stockholder Representative’s calculation of Closing Working Capital Ratio and the Final Closing Working Capital Ratio, and for purposes of this determination (A) Parent’s “calculation of Closing Working Capital Ratio” shall be the Closing Working Capital Ratio set forth in the Post-Closing Statement (as adjusted to reflect any agreements on the Closing Working Capital Ratio reached by Parent and the Stockholder Representative prior to referring such dispute to the Independent Accountants) and (B) the Stockholder Representative’s “calculation of Closing Working Capital Ratio” shall be the Closing Working Capital Ratio set forth in the Dispute Notice (as adjusted to reflect any agreements on the Closing Working Capital Ratio reached by Parent and the Stockholder Representative prior to referring such dispute to the Independent Accountants), (ii) by the Company Stockholders, if the difference between the Stockholder Representative’s calculation of Closing Working Capital Ratio and the Final Closing Working Capital Ratio exceeds by more than ten percent the difference between the Company’s calculation of Closing Working Capital Ratio and the Final Closing Working Capital Ratio, or (iii) otherwise, split equally between Parent and the Company Stockholders. For the purposes of determining whether the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants are payable by a party pursuant to this Section 1.7(a), the Closing Working Capital Ratio (whether calculated by Parent or the Stockholder Representative) and the Final Closing Working Capital Ratio shall each be expressed as a percentage. For illustration purposes only, a Closing Working Capital Ratio of 1.2:1 shall be expressed for these purposes as 120%.

(b)    Once the Final Closing Working Capital Ratio is determined pursuant to Section 1.7(a), the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted as follows. If the Final Closing Working Capital Ratio is less than 1:1, the Merger Consideration shall be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis in an amount that, when added to the final determination of Good Accounts Receivable, would be sufficient to cause the Closing Working Capital Ratio to be 1:1. If the Final Closing Working Capital Ratio exceeds 1:1, the Merger Consideration will be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis in an amount that, when deducted from the final determination of Good Accounts Receivable, would be sufficient to cause the Closing Working Capital Ratio to be 1:1. If the Merger Consideration is so decreased, subject to Section 8.3(h) the Company Stockholders shall be jointly and severally liable to pay to Parent the amount of such decrease within thirty (30) days of determination of the Final Closing Working Capital Ratio. If the Merger Consideration is so increased, Parent shall pay to the Company Stockholders on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned immediately prior to the Effective Time, the amount of such increase within thirty (30) days of the determination of the Final Closing Working Capital Ratio. If any party fails to pay any amount when due under this Section 1.7(b), such unpaid amount shall thereafter bear simple interest at a rate equal to the prime rate in effect from time to time (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus two (2) percentage points, until paid in full.

Section 1.8    Closing Deliveries.

(a)    At the Closing, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the relevant payees, the entire amount of the unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and the unpaid Indebtedness of the Company, if any, in accordance with the Closing Statement. Any amount so paid by Parent shall be deducted from and applied against the cash portion of the Merger Consideration due at the Closing in accordance with Section 1.5(a).

(b)    On the Closing Date, Parent and Merger Sub shall deliver or cause to be delivered, to the Company the following, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Company:

(i)    irrevocable instructions to the Transfer Agent to issue shares of the Parent Common Stock to each Company Stockholder in a number equal to, for each share of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Per Share Consideration of the Closing Stock Consideration, all in book entry form unless a physical certificate is required by such Company Stockholder, registered in the name of such Company Stockholder;

(c)    If CFIUS Approval is dependent upon the acceptance of conditions proposed by CFIUS as described in Section 5.7(b), the Parent accepts such conditions, and those conditions materially impair the ability of the Surviving Company to achieve the applicable EBITDA Target for any Earn-Out Period as set forth in Schedule 1.5(c), the parties shall negotiate in good faith an alternative applicable EBITDA Target that reflects the impairing effect of these proposed conditions while maintaining the Earn-Out Amounts for the Earn-Out Period.

(b)    If the Company files any Tax Returns between the signing of this Agreement and the Closing, the FT Stockholders shall, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to filing, provide Parent with the opportunity to review and comment on such Tax Returns. The Company shall in good faith give reasonable consideration to any such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Parent.

(h)    The FT Stockholders and Parent agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request and as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (including access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for preparation of any Tax Return, claim for refund or audit, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries' Tax liability. The requesting party shall bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the other party hereto in providing such assistance.

Section 5.14    Transition and Business Plans. As a Subsidiary of Parent, the Surviving Company will be subject to Parent’s annual and long-range business plans; provided, however, that the parties shall, acting in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner, (a) prior to the Closing agree to a written transition plan for the Surviving Company, including support for sales force buildout and technology buildout and (b) agree to a written business plan pursuant to which the Surviving Company shall operate for the Earn-Out Period that includes the availability and use of cash, personnel, technical and other resources being made available to the Surviving Company, with the business plan for the first year after the Closing being agreed to prior to the Closing.

Section 5.15    R & W Insurance Policy. Prior to Closing, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a representations and warranties insurance policy with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company and the FT Stockholders in this Agreement (the “R&W Policy”) for the benefit of Parent at a commercially reasonable cost that is in an amount not less than $10,000,000.00 (the “Minimum Coverage”), issued by an insurance carrier and upon terms and conditions (including without limitation deductibles and exclusions) that are satisfactory to Parent and the Company. The Parent and the Company will cause the R&W Policy to include a waiver of subrogation by the insurer (except for fraud or willful concealment) in favor of the Company Stockholders. The Company will pay for the cost of the underwriting fees, taxes, premiums, diligence expenses and other charges associated with obtaining the R&W Policy (the “R&W Expenses”) having coverage up to the Minimum Coverage, and such R&W Expenses may be treated as Company Transaction Expenses. If Parent wishes to obtain an R&W Policy having a higher amount of coverage, it shall pay the R&W Expenses in excess of the R&W Expenses that would be required to obtain an R&W Policy for the Minimum Coverage. Parent will allow the Company to participate in the solicitation of quotes for and the negotiation of the R&W Policy, and the Company shall, and the FT Stockholders shall cause the Company to, cooperate in all reasonable ways with, make all relevant files and records reasonably available for inspection and copying, make employees reasonably available to, and otherwise render reasonable assistance to facilitate the issuance of the R&W Policy.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent, the Stockholder Representative and the Company Stockholders shall (A) except as required by applicable Laws, keep confidential and not disclose or reveal any of the information contained in any balance sheet, income statement, statement of shareholder’s equity or other financial statements received pursuant to this Section 5.16 to any Person and (B) not use any such information for any purpose other than in connection with its interests in the Parent Common Stock, the offered capital stock, or other securities issued by Parent. Each Company Stockholder acknowledges that federal securities laws, among other things, prohibit trading in securities on the basis of material non-public information and that balance sheets, income statements, statements of shareholder’s equity or other financial statements provided by Parent pursuant to this Section 5.16 may constitute such material non-public information. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Ranjan Shareholders shall have rights under clauses (ii) and (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 5.16(a) only so long as they collectively continue to be the beneficial owner(s) of at least two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the outstanding Parent Common Stock, (ii) the Ranjan Shareholders shall automatically cease to have rights under clauses (ii) and (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 5.16(a) when they no longer collectively continue to be the beneficial owner(s) of at least two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the outstanding Parent Common Stock, (iii) the Mathur Shareholders shall have rights under clauses (ii) and (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 5.16(a) only so long as they collectively continue to be the beneficial owner(s) of at least two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the outstanding Parent Common Stock and (iv) the Mathur Shareholders shall automatically cease to have rights under clauses (ii) and (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 5.16(a) when they no longer collectively continue to be the beneficial owner(s) of at least two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the outstanding Parent Common Stock.

(b)    Subject to Section 5.16(c), so long as either Ranjan or Mathur is alive and legally competent, during the Earn-Out Periods and thereafter so long as either Ranjan or Mathur remains employed by the Surviving Company pursuant to an Employment Agreement, Parent shall not permit any of the following to occur without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; it being agreed by the parties that the approval of any such matter in a transition plan or business plan approved in accordance with Section 5.14 constitutes prior written consent of Ranjan and Mathur) of (i) if Ranjan and Mathur are at the time both employed by the Surviving Company pursuant to an Employment Agreement, Ranjan and Mathur, (ii) if only one of them is at the time employed by the Surviving Company pursuant to an Employment Agreement, the one who is so employed and (iii) if neither of them is at the time employed by the Surviving Company, both Ranjan and Mathur, provided that if either Ranjan or Mathur is at the time not alive or not legally competent or has resigned from employment by the Surviving Company other than for Good Reason (as defined in the relevant Employment Agreement), the consent of such individual under this Section 5.16(b) shall in no event be required:

(i)    a substantial change in the business purpose of the Surviving Company or the establishment of any Subsidiary of the Surviving Company;

(ii)    a merger of the Surviving Company with or into, or consolidation of the Surviving Company with, another Person other than Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent;

(vi)    any transaction outside the Ordinary Course of Business involving income or expense to the Surviving Company in excess of $100,000 per annum;

Any agreement on the part of a party to any extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such party. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise will not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.2(b), the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be required to take good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a recovery under the R&W Policy for indemnifiable Losses under Section 8.1 that are covered under the R&W Policy, before seeking recovery for such Losses against the Company Stockholders, including without limitation pursuing all commercially reasonably administrative and judicial rights and remedies to obtain payment under the R&W Policy.

(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Company Stockholders to the extent such Losses would have been covered under the R&W Policy if not for a failure by a Parent Indemnified Party to properly make a claim thereunder (or otherwise comply with the terms thereof).

Section 8.3    Miscellaneous.

(a)    The parties agree that the rights to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be the sole remedy that any Indemnified Party will have in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, provided, however, that nothing in this Article VII limit any Parent Indemnified Party’s right (i) to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which it shall be entitled pursuant to Section 9.13, (ii) to seek any remedy on account of any party’s Fraud or criminal misconduct, or (iii) right to obtain any remedies a Parent Indemnified Party may have against any insurer under the R&W Policy providing coverage for any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties in this Agreement.

(b)    If the Company Stockholders fail to satisfy any of their indemnification obligations under this Article VIII or make a payment required under Section 1.7(b), then Parent is expressly authorized to set-off against and deduct from any payment of the Earn-Out Amount the amount of such unsatisfied obligations under this Article VIII or Section 1.7(b), and apply the amount so set-off and deducted against such obligations until such obligations are satisfied in full. This right of set-off and deduction shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies a Parent Indemnified Party shall have against a Company Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement, under law or in equity. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Parent Indemnified Party prevails in a claim for Fraud, criminal misconduct or breach of any covenant or agreement by FT Stockholders or the Company (as applicable) then such Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company Stockholders for all fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and court costs) incurred by it with respect to such claim and any proceeding with respect thereto (but excluding in-house counsel and compensation of or overhead charges for internal personnel).

The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification, recovery of Losses or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. No Person shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Person to be entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided that nothing in this Section 8.3(c) shall impair or diminish the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.13 of this Agreement.

(d)    Neither the Parent Indemnified Parties nor the Company Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses not arising from Third Party Claims relating to any difference, variation or change between the Company Unaudited Financial Statements and the Company Audited Financial Statements arising from, as a result of, or in connection with any adjustments made, recommended, requested or required by the Auditors or Parent, any change in method of accounting relating thereto or the inclusion of any item of income in, or exclusion of any item of deduction from, taxable income that is different as between the Company Unaudited Financial Statements and the Company Audited Financial Statements; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.3(d) shall diminish or affect any representation or warranty made in Section 4.4 or the obligations set forth in Section 5.10 or waive any rights or remedies of the Parent Indemnified Parties with respect to any breach of any of such representations, warranties or obligations.

(e)    Other than as a result of a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.7 (Taxes) or a breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company or the FT Stockholders contained in Section 5.13, the Company Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for any Losses arising from, as a result of, or in connection with, Parent voluntarily amending any Tax Return of the Company or its Subsidiaries for any pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period, provided, however, that (i) for the avoidance of doubt, if the Parent or the Surviving Company agrees to amend any such Tax Return as a result of a settlement of any audit or other Legal Action commenced by a Governmental Authority, such amendment shall not constitute a voluntary amendment for purposes of Section 5.13(e) and (ii) nothing in this Section 8.3(e) shall diminish or affect any representation or warranty made in Section 4.7 or the obligations set forth in Section 5.13 or waive any rights or remedies of the Parent Indemnified Parties with respect to any breach of any of such representations, warranties or obligations.

(f)    Each Company Stockholder and the Company acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Article VIII are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement.

(g)    Neither the Parent Indemnified Parties nor the Company Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses relating to any matter under one provision of this Agreement to the extent such Parent Indemnified Parties or Company Indemnified Parties has already recovered such Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to another provision of this Agreement.

(h)    Notwithstanding any reference in this Agreement to joint and several liability of the Company Stockholders to the contrary, (i) the Minor Company Stockholder shall be liable to the Parent Indemnified Parties for any obligation of the Company Stockholder only to the extent of such Minor Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of such obligation, and (ii) the aggregate liability of the Minor Company Stockholder under this Article VIII shall be equal to such Minor Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Merger Consideration received by such Minor Company Stockholder. Nothing in this Section 8.3(h), however, shall affect, impair or diminish the joint and several liability for the full amount of any obligation of the Company Stockholders under this Agreement of any Company Stockholder other than the Minor Company Stockholder.

(i)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall any party to this Agreement be required to indemnify or hold harmless any other party or otherwise compensate any other party for Losses with respect to mental or emotional distress, exemplary, consequential, special or punitive damages, lost profits, damage to reputation or the like (unless a party is required to pay such Losses to a third party as a result of a Third Party Claim), except as expressly provided in section 8.1.

Section 8.4    Indemnification Claim Procedure.

(a)    Promptly after obtaining knowledge of any matter that a Parent Indemnified Party or a Company Indemnified Party, acting in good faith, reasonably believes will entitle such Parent Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party (in such capacity, an “Indemnified Party”) to indemnification under this Article VIII from any Person who would be obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party if the claim is indemnifiable hereunder (such obligated Person, the “Indemnifying Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly provide to the Stockholder Representative, if the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party, or to Parent, if the Indemnified Party is a Company Indemnified Party (in this capacity, the “Indemnifying Party Representative”), written notice describing the matter in reasonable detail, including the nature of the claim, the basis for the indemnification obligation and the Losses resulting therefrom (a “Notice of Claim”); provided, however, that the failure to timely provide a Notice of Claim hereunder shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of the obligation to indemnify such Indemnified Party except to the extent that such Indemnified Party’s failure to provide or delay in providing a Notice of Claim actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against or contest or resolve such matter.

(b)    For claims for indemnification under this Article VIII other than those relating to Third Party Claims, during the period of fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the Notice of Claim, the Indemnifying Party Representative may deliver to the Indemnified Party who delivered such Notice of Claim a response (a “Response Notice”) in which the Indemnifying Party Representative (i) agrees that the full amount of Losses stated in the Notice of Claim is owed to such Indemnified Party, (ii) agrees that part (but not all) of the amount of Losses stated in the Notice of Claim is owed to such Indemnified Party or (iii) asserts that no part of the amount of Losses stated in the Notice of Claim is owed to such Indemnified Party. Unless the Indemnifying Party Representative agrees in such Response Notice that the full amount of Losses stated in the Notice of Claim is owed to such Indemnified Party, such Response Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the Indemnifying Party Representative’s objections to the claims and its basis for such objections. If the Indemnifying Party Representative fails to provide such a Response Notice to the Indemnified Party who delivered the related Notice of Claim within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, the Indemnifying Parties shall be deemed to have agreed that the full amount of Losses set forth in the Notice of Claim is owed to such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party Representative or the Indemnified Party may thereafter pursue any legal remedies available to it under this Agreement with respect to the claims set forth in such Notice of Claim, subject, to the extent applicable, to the Basket, the Indemnification Cap and the other provisions of this Article VIII. If the Indemnifying Party Representative provides a Response Notice within such fifteen (15) Business Day period and such Response Notice objects to any of the claims set forth in the Notice of Claim, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party Representative, as the case may be, shall negotiate the resolution of the claim(s) for a period of not less than fifteen (15) Business Days after such Response Notice is delivered to such Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party Representative are unable to resolve all such claims within such time period, the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party Representative may thereafter pursue any legal remedies available to it with respect solely to the unresolved claims, subject, to the extent applicable, to the Basket, the Indemnification Cap and the other provisions of this Article VIII.

Section 8.5    Third Party Claims.

(a)    The Indemnifying Party Representative shall have the right to assume and pursue the defense of any claim or Legal Action by a Person that is not a party to the Agreement or an Affiliate or Related Party of a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), with legal counsel selected by it that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, upon written notification thereof to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days after the Notice of Claim has been delivered to the Indemnifying Party Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnifying Party Representative shall not have the right to assume or pursue the defense of a Third Party Claim if (i) such Third Party Claim relates to a Legal Action that is reasonably expected to result in imprisonment or any criminal action; (ii) such Third Party Claim involves a request exclusively for equitable relief or any other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party; (iii) such third party claim involves or is reasonably expected to involve a request for monetary relief and also equitable relief or any other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates which, if granted, would materially and adversely impact the current or future business operations, assets or properties, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) of the Indemnified Party or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) such Third Party Claim involves a Legal Action in which an Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the applicable Legal Action and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded based on the advice of counsel that representation of both parties by the same counsel, or the conduct of such defense by the Indemnifying Party Representative, would result in a conflict of interest or that different defenses may be available; (v) the Losses claimed or likely to be claimed in such Third Party Claim will exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount such Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover as a result of the limitations on indemnification contained herein (including the Basket and the Indemnification Cap); or (vi) such Third Party Claim involves any Governmental Authority as a party thereto, and, in each such case, the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel (limited to one firm for all Indemnified Parties and, if applicable, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for all Indemnified Parties) if such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Article VIII.

(b)    Unless and until the Indemnified Party receives such notification from the Indemnifying Party Representative within such twenty (20) day period that it will assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, if the Indemnifying Party does not have the right to assume and pursue the defense of such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.5(a) or, at any time after the Indemnifying Party Representative has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim if (i) the Indemnifying Party Representative has failed to or is failing to vigorously prosecute and defend such Third Party Claim or (ii) such Third Party Claim involves a Legal Action in which an Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded based on the advice of counsel that representation of both parties by the same counsel, or the conduct of such defense by the Indemnifying Party Representative, would be result in a conflict of interest or that different defenses may be available, the Indemnified Party shall thereafter fully assume, commence and pursue its defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim on a timely and prudent basis in its sole discretion (without waiving any rights against the Indemnifying Parties) and promptly inform the Indemnifying Party Representative of all material developments related thereto.

(c)    During the twenty (20) day period referred to in Section 8.5(a), the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives and Affiliates to, provide such information to the Indemnifying Party Representative as the Indemnifying Party Representative may reasonably request in connection with its evaluation of whether a Third Party Claim is an indemnifiable claim under this Article VIII. If during such twenty (20) day period the Indemnifying Party Representative fails to acknowledge to the Indemnified Party that any Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim are indemnifiable Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.1, Section 8.2 and the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party may at any time after such twenty (20) day period assume the defense of such Third Party Claim upon notice to that effect to the Indemnifying Party Representative.

(d)    If the Indemnifying Party Representative assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, it shall thereafter promptly inform the Indemnified Party of all material developments related thereto. With respect to any Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party Representative has assumed the defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate, at its own cost and expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim through legal counsel reasonably selected by it and, except to the extent provided in Section 8.5(b), at its own cost and expense. The Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives and Affiliates to, during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, cooperate in all reasonable ways with, make its and their relevant files and records reasonably available for inspection and copying by, make its and their employees reasonably available to, and otherwise render reasonable assistance to, the Indemnifying Party Representative.

(e)    If the Indemnifying Party Representative (having assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim) or the Indemnified Party (having proceeded with its own defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.5) proposes to settle or compromise such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party Representative and the Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall provide written notice to that effect (together with a reasonably detailed statement of the terms and conditions of such settlement or compromise) to the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party Representative, as applicable, which notice shall be provided a reasonable time prior to the proposed time for effecting such settlement or compromise, and shall not affect any such settlement or compromise without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party Representative, as applicable, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If: (i) the Indemnifying Party Representative provides any such notice; (ii) the related settlement or compromise offer provides for (A) the full release of the Indemnified Party from any and all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (B) involves no admission of liability, guilt or wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, (C) excludes any non-monetary relief that would limit or restrict or otherwise be materially adverse to the business or operations of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates and (D) any monetary relief contemplated by such settlement is fully covered by the Company Stockholders’ or Parent’s, as the case may be, indemnification payments pursuant to this Article VIII; and (iii) the Indemnified Party fails to provide, in a reasonably timely manner, its consent to such settlement or compromise, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation under this Article VIII with respect to such Third Party Claim will not exceed the amount of such settlement or compromise offer and the Indemnified Party will be required to pay the excess of the amount necessary to settle or compromise such Third Party Claim over the amount of such settlement or compromise offer.

Section 9.1    Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company Stockholders and the Company, on the other hand, shall each bear their respective expenses, costs and fees (including attorneys’, auditors’ and financing fees, if any) incurred in connection with the Merger, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Transactions, including the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and compliance herewith, regardless of whether the Closing occurs.

Section 9.2    Interpretation; Construction.

(a)    The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section, Exhibit, Article, or Schedule, such reference shall be to a Section of, Exhibit to, Article of, or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

Whenever the words “include,” “includes,” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” and the word “or” is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and does not simply mean “if.” A reference in this Agreement to $ or dollars is to U.S. dollars. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereto,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

Section 9.9    Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.11    Authorization of Stockholder Representative.

(a)    By virtue of the vote of all of the Company Stockholders that approved the Merger and adopted this Agreement, and without any further act of any of the Company Stockholders, Ranjan and Mathur are hereby appointed, authorized and empowered to act as Stockholder Representative for the benefit of the Company Stockholders, as the sole and exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of each Company Stockholder and such Company Stockholder’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, in connection with and to facilitate the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, which shall include (without limitation) the power and authority:

(i)    To execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (with such modifications or changes therein as to which the Stockholder Representative, in its sole discretion, shall have consented) and to agree to such amendments or modifications thereto as the Stockholder Representative, in its sole discretion, determines to be desirable;

(ii)    To negotiate, execute and deliver such waivers, modifications, amendments, consents and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as the Stockholder Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable;

(iii)    To take any action on behalf of the Company Stockholders or any individual Company Stockholder that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by the Stockholder Representative in its sole discretion, in connection with negotiating or entering into settlements, resolutions and compromises with respect to the adjustments or payments contemplated by this Agreement;

(iv)    To collect and receive all moneys and other proceeds and property payable to the Stockholder Representative or the Company Stockholders, as applicable, from Parent as described herein or in the other Transaction Documents, and, subject to any applicable withholding retention laws, and net of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative shall disburse and pay, except as otherwise provided hereunder, any amount payable to the Company Stockholders to each of the Company Stockholders to the extent of such Company Stockholder’s share of such amount;

(v)    To enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Company Stockholders and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Stockholder Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and each other agreement, document, instrument or certificate referred to herein or therein or the transactions provided for herein or therein, and to take any and all actions which the Stockholder Representative believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, including actions in connection with the determination of any payment due hereunder or thereunder for and on behalf of the Company Stockholders, including: (A) assert any claim or institute any action, proceeding or investigation; (B) investigate, defend, contest or litigate any claim, action, proceeding or investigation initiated by Parent or any other Person, or by any federal, state or local Governmental Authority against the Stockholder Representative or any of the Company Stockholders, and receive process on behalf of any or all Company Stockholders in any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation and compromise or settle on such terms as the Stockholder Representative shall determine to be appropriate, and give receipts, releases and discharges with respect to, any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation; (C) file any proofs of debt, claims and petitions as the Stockholder Representative may deem advisable or necessary; (D) settle or compromise any claims asserted under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; and (E) file and prosecute appeals from any decision, judgment or award rendered in any such action, proceeding or investigation, it being understood that the Stockholder Representative shall not have any obligation to take any such actions, and shall not have any liability for any failure to take any such actions;

(vi)    To refrain from enforcing any right of any Company Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document in connection with the foregoing; provided, however, that no such failure to act on the part of the Stockholder Representative, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any such right or interest by the Stockholder Representative or by such Company Stockholder unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving party or by the Stockholder Representative; and

(vii)    To make, execute, acknowledge, deliver and receive all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Stockholder Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, and all other agreements, documents or instruments referred to herein or therein or executed in connection herewith and therewith.

(b)    All actions, decisions and instructions of the Stockholder Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Company Stockholders and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and no Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors or assigns or any other Person acting on behalf of any Company Stockholder shall have any claim or cause of action against the Stockholder Representative or the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same, and the Stockholder Representative shall have no liability to any Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors or assigns or any other Person acting on behalf of any Company Stockholder, for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Stockholder Representative in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document, except in the case of the Stockholder Representative’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to rely upon any document or instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine, accurate as to content and signed by any Company Stockholder, Parent or any other Person. The Stockholder Representative may assume that any Person purporting to give any notice in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(c)    The Stockholder Representative shall have such powers and authority as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the functions assigned to it under this Agreement and in any other document delivered in connection herewith. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to engage such counsel, experts and other agents and consultants as it shall deem necessary in connection with exercising its powers and performing its function hereunder and (in the absence of willful misconduct on the part of the Stockholder Representative) shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such Persons. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Stockholder Representative in its capacity as such shall have no fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Company Stockholder or the Company and no duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth herein, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on behalf of any Company Stockholder shall otherwise exist against or with respect to the Stockholder Representative in its capacity as such. Parent and Merger Sub shall be able to rely on any action or information provided by the Stockholder Representative without inquiry and no Company Stockholder and such Company Stockholder’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, any party hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or any other Person shall have any cause of action against Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Company to the extent such Persons have relied upon the instructions or decisions of the Stockholder Representative.

(d)    In no event shall the Stockholder Representative (in its capacity as such) be liable hereunder or in connection herewith for any special, indirect, consequential, contingent, speculative, punitive or exemplary damages, or lost profits, diminution in value or any damages based on any type of multiple of earnings, cash flow or similar measure or for any liabilities resulting from the actions of a Company Stockholder other than the Stockholder Representative acting in its capacity as such. Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, without any duty of inquiry, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Company Stockholders. The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable by any act of any Company Stockholder or by operation of Law and all of the indemnities, immunities, authority and power granted to the Stockholder Representative hereunder shall survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Company Stockholder and (ii) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

(e)    The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholder Representative while acting in good faith. The Company Stockholders shall indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Stockholder Representative or any of its Affiliates and any of their respective partners, members, attorneys, accountants, advisors or controlling Persons and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholder Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Stockholder Representative. Parent (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, including, after the Closing, the Company) acknowledges that the Stockholder Representative is party to this Agreement solely for purposes of serving as the Stockholder Representative hereunder.

(f)    All fees and expenses (including legal, accounting and other advisors’ fees and expenses, if applicable) reasonably incurred by the Stockholder Representative in performing any actions under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be borne by the Stockholder Representative.

(g)    EACH COMPANY STOCKHOLDER INTENDS FOR THE AUTHORIZATIONS AND AGREEMENTS IN THE FOREGOING SECTIONS OF THIS SECTION 9.11 TO REMAIN IN FORCE AND NOT BE AFFECTED IF SUCH COMPANY STOCKHOLDER SUBSEQUENTLY DIES, BECOMES MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY DISABLED, INCOMPETENT, OR INCAPACITATED AND DOES HEREBY AUTHORIZE SUCH RECORDINGS AND FILINGS HEREOF AS THE STOCKHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE MAY DEEM APPROPRIATE.

Section 9.12    Waiver of Conflicts; Attorney-Client Privilege. Recognizing that Osborn McDerby LLP (the “Company Law Firm”) has acted as legal counsel to the Company prior to the Closing, and that the Company Law Firm intends to act as legal counsel to the Stockholder Representative after the Closing, each of Parent and the Surviving Company, and on behalf of their Subsidiaries, hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with the Company Law Firm representing the Stockholder Representative after the Closing as such representation may relate to the Transactions and the Parent and/or the Surviving Company. In addition, except as disclosed to Parent by the Company or the Stockholder Representative in the negotiation of the Transactions, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between the Company, including its Board of Directors, officers, employees and Representatives in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of this Agreement and the Transactions hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client communications that belong solely to such Stockholder Representative, not the Surviving Company. Accordingly, neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall have access to any such communications, or to the files of the Company Law Firm relating to its engagement, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (a) the Stockholder Representative, and not the Surviving Company, shall be the sole holder of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of the Company Law Firm in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the Stockholder Representative, and not the Surviving Company, shall hold such property rights, and (c) the Company Law Firm shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Surviving Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between the Company Law Firm and the Surviving Company or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent or the Surviving Company and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates) after the Closing, the Surviving Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by the Company Law Firm to such third party; provided, however, that neither the Surviving Company nor the Parent may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative.

Section 9.13    Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court referred to in Section 9.4, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity.

Section 9.14    Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will be one and the same agreement. Delivery of a signature page by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed to be the equivalent of a manually executed original signature page. This Agreement will become effective when each party to this Agreement will have received counterparts signed by all of the other parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of ______________, 2019, by and between Cinedigm Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the purchasers listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Purchasers”). The Company and each of the Purchasers have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 14, 2019 (the “Agreement and Plan of Merger”) by and among the Company, C&F Merger Sub, Inc., Future Today Inc, Alok Ranjan and Vikrant Mathur, in the capacities of FT Stockholders and Stockholder Representative. Terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement and Plan of Merger.

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the Closing that, among other things, this Agreement has been executed and delivered by the parties hereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, mutual promises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

For the purposes of this Agreement:

“Registrable Securities” shall mean the Purchased Shares and any Class A Shares issued pursuant to Section 1.5(d) of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, together with any Class A Shares obtained by each Purchaser or any party that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Purchaser (a “Related Transferee” of such Purchaser) through any stock split, stock dividend or any similar issuance in respect of the Purchased Shares or any Class A Shares issued pursuant to Section 1.5(d) of the Agreement and Plan of Merger.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Registrable Securities” shall exclude (i) any Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which rights under this Agreement are not expressly assigned in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) any Registrable Securities sold into the public market, whether sold pursuant to Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or in a registered offering, or otherwise, or (iii) any Registrable Securities upon becoming eligible for sale without restriction by the holder thereof pursuant to Rule 144.

The number of the “Outstanding Registrable Securities” means the number of Class A Shares held by the Holders which are Registrable Securities.

“Holder” shall mean any Purchaser and any permitted assignee of the Registrable Securities to whom rights under this Agreement have been duly assigned in accordance with this Agreement.

“Form S‑3” shall mean any such form under the 1933 Act being in effect on the date hereof or any successor registration form under the 1933 Act subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States (the “Commission”). Such form permits the inclusion or incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the Commission.

2.    Demand Registration

Subject to Section 9 of this Agreement and after the expiration of the Lockup Period (as defined in the Agreement and Plan of Merger), if the Company shall receive a written request from the Holders possessing collectively at least fifteen percent (15%) of the Outstanding Registrable Securities that the Company file a registration statement under the 1933 Act covering the registration of the resale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2, then the Company shall, within ten (10) business days of the receipt of such written request, give written notice of such request (“Request Notice”) to all the Holders, and use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the 1933 Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered in such registration by providing written notice to the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Request Notice, subject only to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.

If the Holders initiating the registration request under this Section 2 (“Initiating Holders”) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, then they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Clause 2(a). In such an event, the right of any Holder to include his Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditional upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All the Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all the Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced as required by the underwriter(s) and allocated among the Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis according to the number of the Outstanding Registrable Securities held by each Holder requesting registration (including the Initiating Holders); provided, however, that in any public offering of securities, the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), which notice shall be delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.

The Company shall be obligated to effect only four (4) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2; provided, that a registration requested pursuant to this Section 2 shall not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of this Section 2(c) unless (i) it has been declared effective by the Commission, (ii) it has remained effective for the period set forth below and (iii) the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is not subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission (other than any such stop order, injunction, or other requirement of the Commission prompted by act or omission of the Holders of Registrable Securities) that has not been withdrawn. The Company shall use its best efforts to keep effective any registration effected pursuant to this Section 2 until the earlier of (i) that date that all of the Registrable Securities registered thereon have been sold, (ii) the date that the Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such registration notify the Company in writing that they will not make any further sales thereunder, and (iii) 120 days from the effective date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company furnishes to the Holder or Holders initiating a registration request under this Section 2 a certificate signed by a director of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

All expenses incurred in connection with any registration, pursuant to this Section 2, including without limitation all federal and “blue sky” registration, filing and qualification fees, printer’s and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters or brokers, and the Holders’ legal fees, in connection with such offering by the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered, unless the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Registrable Securities agree that such registration constitutes the use by the Holders of one (1) demand registration pursuant to Section 2 (in which case such registration shall also constitute the use by all Holders of Registrable Securities of one (1) such demand registration); provided, further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company not known to the Holders at the time of their request for such registration and have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration pursuant to this Section 2.

3.    Piggyback Registrations

Subject to Section 9 of this Agreement and after the expiration of the Lockup Period, the Company shall notify all the Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the 1933 Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (other than (i) a registration on Form S‑4 or Form S‑8, or any successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes, and (ii) demand registrations pursuant to Section 2) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 3 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders. In such event, the right of any such Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditional upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All the Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first to the Company, and second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder; provided, however, that the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, excluding the Company but including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.

All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 3 (excluding underwriters’ and brokers’ discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Holders and legal-fees of counsel for the Holders), including, without limitation all federal and “blue sky” registration, filing and qualification fees, printer’s and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the Company.

Registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 2 above. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3.

4.    Form S-3 Registration

promptly give written notice of the proposed registration and the Holder’s or Holders’ request therefor, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities;

as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within twenty (20) days after the Company provides the notice contemplated by paragraph (a) of this Section 4.1; and

be obligated to effect (i) only one (1) such registration in any calendar year pursuant to this Section 4, and (ii) no such registration with respect to any Registrable Securities while any other such registration with respect to such Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4 remains effective. The Company shall use its best efforts to keep the Form S-3 continuously effective until the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Form S-3 have been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Form S-3 or any amendment or supplement thereto, or cease to constitute Registrable Securities.

furnish to the Holders such number of conformed copies of the applicable registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (including in each case all exhibits), and copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, if applicable, in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration;

use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement;

notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time (i) when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Class A Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (iv) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 5(f)(i) above, promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with Section 5(f)(i) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such prospectus and use their reasonable efforts to return to the Company all copies of such prospectus (at the Company’s expense) other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, and the period of effectiveness of such registration statement provided for above shall be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to the date Holders shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 5(g);

furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated as of such date, from the independent auditors of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent auditors to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities;

otherwise use its reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act generally available to the Holders no later than 45 days after the end of any twelve-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, or (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the registration statement, which statements shall cover said twelve-month periods; provided, however, that the filing with the Commission of periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q (including reports filed in compliance with the time extensions permitted by Rule 12b-25 promulgated under the 1933 Act) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 5(i).

use its reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are listed or traded;

make reasonably available for inspection by the representatives of the Holders, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such representatives or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by such representative or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the registration; and

6.    Furnish Information

It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4 that the selling Holder or Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, other Company securities held by them, and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.

7.    Indemnification

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Section 2, 3 or 4:

To the extent permitted by law the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers and directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as determined in the 1933 Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):

and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer or director, underwriter or controlling person for any out of pocket legal (such legal expenses not to exceed $25,000) or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in paragraph 7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder or underwriter; and provided, further, that the Company shall only be obligated to reimburse legal expenses for one counsel for all Holders.

To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action: provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph 7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this paragraph 7(b) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises.

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person (as defined in the 1934 Act) guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding; provided, however, that if the Company is the indemnifying party, it shall only be obligated to pay for legal expenses for one counsel for all Holders. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 7 to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnified party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7.

The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 7 shall survive until the fifth anniversary of the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, regardless of the expiration of any statutes of limitation or extensions of such statutes.

8.    No Registration Rights to Third Parties

Without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority in interest of the Outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any person or entity any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the demand, "piggyback" or Form S-3 registration rights described in this Agreement, or otherwise) relating to shares or any other voting securities of the Company, other than rights that are subordinate in right to the Holders; provided, that (x) such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (y) if Bison Entertainment Investment Limited consents to any such registration rights, the Holders shall be deemed to have given their consent under this Section 8, without further action on the part of such Holders.

9.    Assignment

The registration rights under this Agreement may be assigned by any Holder:

10.    Reports Under the 1934 Act

With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

11.    Termination of the Company’s Obligations

The Company shall have no obligations pursuant to Sections 2, 3 and 4 with respect to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to Section 2, 3 or 4 at the earlier of the date at which such Holder (A) can sell all Registrable Securities held by it in compliance with Rule 144 or (B) holds one percent (1%) or less of the Company’s outstanding Class A Shares and all Registrable Securities held by such Holder (together with any affiliate of the Holder with whom such Holder must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) can be sold in accordance with Rule 144 in any three (3) month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144. In addition, the Company shall have no obligations pursuant to Sections 2 and 4 hereof from and after such time as the Holders in the aggregate beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than fifteen percent (15%) in number of the Purchased Shares.

12.    Term and Amendment

This Agreement shall become effective immediately at the Closing, and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding and entitled to the registration rights set forth in this Agreement or (ii) the termination of the Company’s obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 11 hereof.

Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding and entitled to the registration rights set forth in this Agreement. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 12 shall be binding upon all parties hereto including any Holder who become a Holder in connection with an assignment after the date hereof.

13.    Severability

If at any time any one or more provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal, unenforceable or incapable of performance in any respect, the validity, legality, enforceability or performance of the remaining provisions hereof shall not thereby in any way be affected or impaired, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

14.    Entire Agreement
