2.2 Purchase Price

At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance on the representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in this Agreement, and in consideration of the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and delivery of the Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 2.1, the Buyer agrees to pay or cause to be paid the following amounts, subject to adjustment pursuant to Article III (the “Purchase Price”):

(a) Five (5%) of the Gross Revenue for a period of twelve (12) calendar months commencing on the first day of the next full calendar month immediately following Closing Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the “Cap”), payable on

the fifteenth (15^th) business day of each month for the prior month (the “Purchase Price Payments”), provided that the Purchase Price Payments or the Cap, whichever is less, shall be reduced, by the following amounts (1) $256,000 less the total amount of sales commission payments made by Sellers to their sales staff as of the Closing Date on those Installation Contracts included in the Purchased Assets on which no payment has been received by Sellers, Buyer or IES from OneRoof or SunRun as of the Closing Date, provided that any such sales commission payments have been duly made pursuant to and in accordance with agreements between Sellers and such staff, as set forth in Schedule B1 hereto, which shall amend and become a part of this Agreement as of the Closing Date, (2) any Funding Payments (as defined in the TSA) made by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.01 of the TSA that have not been reimbursed to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.02 of the TSA prior to the Effective Date and that are in respect of payments to any of the following parties: (i) SunRun, Inc., (ii) the State of California, (iii) the Encore Loan, or (iv) any other amount specified by Buyer to be included herein at the time of any Funding Payment under the TSA, which aggregate amount of clauses (i) through (iv) shall be calculated by the Buyer as of the Effective Time, as set forth on Schedule B2 hereof, which shall amend and become a part of this Agreement as of the Closing Date, and applied in equal installments over the ten Purchase Price Payments immediately following the second Purchase Price Payment made hereunder, (3) the Seller’s share of the Property Taxes as provided in Section 5.2(b), (4) any Excluded Liabilities assessed against and paid by Buyer, (5) any claims permitted to be made by Buyer under any indemnification provision provided by any Seller hereunder and that have not been submitted to or paid by the applicable Seller or Sellers, and (6) any other amounts required to be reimbursed or paid to Buyer hereunder (including without limitation any amount under Section 2.6 hereof) that are not paid or reimbursed as and when due and payable in accordance with this Agreement. The amounts under items (2) through (6) above shall be applied by Buyer toward reduction of the Purchase Price Payments only in such amounts as and after such item has been actually paid by Buyer. The Sellers hereby direct Buyer to pay all of the Purchase Price Payments solely to Residential on behalf of all of the Sellers.

(b) A waiver, release and forgiveness of the AR Balance effective on the Effective Time (the “Waiver and Release”), provided, however, that if the Contemplated Transaction or the transfer of any of the Purchased Assets to Buyer should for any reason subsequently be declared by any Order in any Proceeding to be void or voidable under any state or federal law or Legal Requirement and the transfer is avoided or unwound, or Buyer incurs any Damages in connection with or arising from the Contemplated Transaction or the transfer of any of the Purchased Assets to Buyer for which Buyer has not been indemnified and paid by Sellers, (all collectively, a “Voided Transfer”), then the liability of Sellers for the AR Balance shall automatically be revived, reinstated, and restored to the extent of the Voided Transfer, less the difference between any Gross Revenues generated by the Buyer from the Purchased Assets subject to the Voided Transfer and the Purchase Price Payments, and shall exist as though it had had never been released. On the Closing Date, the Parties shall execute and exchange mutual general releases substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B.

2.3 Deliveries at Closing

At the Closing, the Sellers will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Buyer, and the Buyer will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Sellers, the various certificates, instruments and documents required to be delivered pursuant to Article VIII.

2.4 Assumed Liabilities

The Buyer is not assuming any liabilities or obligations of the Sellers or any of their respective Related Persons in connection with Contemplated Transactions other than the Assumed Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the Sellers and their respective Related Persons shall retain all liability for, and the Buyer and its Related Persons shall not assume or have any obligation with respect to, any Excluded Liabilities.

2.5 Excluded Assets

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will constitute or be construed as conferring on the Buyer, the Buyer is not acquiring, and the “Purchased Assets” specifically exclude, any right, title or interest in or to the Excluded Assets.

2.6 Allocation of the Purchase Price

The Buyer and the Sellers agree to cooperate in good faith to determine the allocation of the Purchase Price, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6, and any other consideration required to be taken into account under applicable Legal Requirements among the Purchased Assets and the covenants set forth in Section 5.1 in accordance with IRC Section 1060 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. On or prior to the 60th day after the final Purchase Price Payment is made, the Buyer shall provide to the Sellers the Buyer’s proposed allocation of the Purchase Price and other consideration. Within 60 days after the date of the delivery of such allocation to the Sellers, the Sellers shall propose to the Buyer any changes to such allocation in writing or otherwise shall be deemed to have agreed with such allocation upon the expiration of such 60-day period. The Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate in good faith to mutually agree to such allocation and shall reduce such agreement to writing (as agreed upon, the “Purchase Price Allocation”). If the Sellers and the Buyer are unable to reach an agreement within 30 days after the Buyer’s receipt of the Sellers’ proposed written changes to such allocation, the dispute shall be resolved and the Purchase Price Allocation shall be determined by the nationally recognized accounting firm engaged by the Buyer for purposes of auditing or reviewing its financial statements. The Purchase Price Allocation, as agreed upon by the Buyer and the Sellers and/or determined by such accounting firm under this Section 2.6, shall be final and binding upon the Parties. Each of the Buyer and the Sellers shall bear all fees and costs incurred by it in connection with the determination of the Purchase Price Allocation, except that the Buyer and the Sellers shall each pay 50% of the fees and expenses of the accounting firm. The Parties shall file timely any forms and statements required under U.S. federal or state income Tax laws consistent with such agreed Purchase Price Allocation. The Purchase Price Allocation shall be revised to take into account subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price, Assumed Obligations or other consideration, in the manner provided by IRC Section 1060 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Parties shall not file any Tax Return or otherwise take any position with respect to Taxes which is inconsistent with such Purchase Price Allocation, unless required to do so by a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the IRC. The Buyer and the Sellers agree to promptly advise each other regarding the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or litigation related to the Purchase Price Allocation. The Purchase Price Allocation provided in this Section 2.6 shall in no way be viewed or asserted by any Party as indicative of the Damages that would be suffered by the Buyer if any Seller Party were to breach the provisions of Section 5.1.

2.7 Required Deductions and Withholding

The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable or deliverable to the Sellers such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the IRC, under any Tax law or pursuant to any other applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Sellers absent such deduction or withholding.

COVENANTS OF THE SELLERS

5.1 Noncompete; Nonsolicitation; Nondisparagement

(a) For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, such Non-Compete Subject Parties agree that he, she or it will not, and will cause each of his, her or its Controlled Related Persons, not to, directly or indirectly, own, manage, be employed by or affiliated with, operate or control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any Person that carries on or engages in the Business, including, by (i) developing, installing and/or selling solar systems or similar services or systems, or (ii) soliciting, or causing to be solicited, any Person who is or was a customer of the Business for the purpose of carrying on or engaging in the Business within the states of California, Hawaii or Arizona (the “Restricted Area”). Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit any Non-Compete Subject Party or any of their Controlled Related Persons from (i) performing any services for Buyer or any of its Related Persons (ii) owning any interest in Buyer or any of its Related Persons or (iii) directly or indirectly owning or acquiring, solely as a passive investment, securities of any entity traded on a national securities exchange (“Public Entity”) if such Person is not a controlling person of or a member of a group which controls such Public Entity and does not, directly or indirectly, own beneficially or of record more than three percent of any class of securities of such Public Entity.

(b) For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, each such Non-Compete Subject Party agrees that he, she or it will not, and will cause each of his, her or its Controlled Related Persons (including any spouses or children of such Non-Compete Subject Person) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) entice, induce or attempt to cause any director, officer, employee or consultant, other than such Non-Compete Subject Party, to terminate his or her employment or relationship with Buyer or any of its Related Persons, or (ii) on behalf of any Person that carries on or engages in the Business, hire or employ, or solicit or contact with a view to the hiring or employment of, any such director, officer, employee or consultant.

(c) Such Non-Compete Subject Party agrees that at any time, he, she or it will not, and will cause each of his, her or its respective Controlled Related Persons, not to, knowingly disparage the Buyer or any director, stockholder, equity holder, officer, employee, consultant or agent of the Buyer or any of their respective Related Persons.

(d) For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, such Non-Compete Subject Party shall maintain the confidentiality of, and not use, other than on behalf of the Buyer or his, her or its Related Persons, (i) confidential or proprietary information regarding the Business or the Purchased Assets or (ii) trade secrets regarding the Business or the Purchased Assets; provided that this Section 5.1(d) shall not apply to information: (A) that becomes available to such party after the Closing Date from a source other than the Buyer or any of its Representatives (and not as a result of a violation of a contractual restriction or fiduciary duty known to such Person); or (B) that was or becomes generally available to the public (and not as a result of a violation of a contractual restriction or fiduciary duty known to such Person). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, such Non-Compete Subject Party may, and may permit, disclosure of such information (x) in response to any judicial or administrative proceedings (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigation demand or similar process); (y) if required by a Governmental Body; or (z) to avoid violating any applicable Legal Requirement; provided that such Non-Compete Subject Party will, to the extent practicable, promptly notify the Buyer thereof and cooperate with the Buyer at the Buyer’s reasonable request and cost if the Buyer should seek to obtain an Order that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information.

(e) Such Non-Compete Subject Party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.1 are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Buyer, including preservation of the goodwill that such Non-Compete Subject Party is conveying under this Agreement. Such Non-Compete Subject Party further acknowledges that all of the restrictions in this Section 5.1 are reasonable in all respects, including duration, geographical limitation and scope of activity restricted and no greater than necessary to protect the Buyer’s legitimate business interests. In the event that it is judicially determined that the restrictions set forth in Sections 5.1(a), (b) or (c) are overly broad, such restrictions will be reformed to the extent necessary to make such restrictions reasonable. Such Non-Compete Subject Party agrees that the existence of any claim or cause of action by such Non-Compete Subject Party against the Buyer or any other entity, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the covenants and restrictions contained in this Section 5.1. In the event of a breach by such Non-Compete Subject Party of this Section 5.1, the term of this covenant will be extended by the period of the duration of such breach.

(f) Such Non-Compete Subject Party expressly agrees and acknowledges that, in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 5.1, the Buyer shall be entitled to obtain immediate injunctive relief, as any such breach would cause the Buyer irreparable injury for which it would have no adequate remedy at law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed so as to prohibit the Buyer from pursuing or realizing any other remedies available to it under this Agreement, at law or in equity for any such breach or threatened breach.

5.2 Tax Matters

(a) Property Tax Apportionment. All ad valorem taxes, personal property taxes and similar obligations (“Property Taxes”) attributable to the Purchased Assets with respect to a tax period in which the Closing Date occurs shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date between the Sellers and the Buyer determined by prorating such Property Taxes on a daily basis over the entire tax period (for purposes of Property Taxes, the term “tax period” means the period beginning on the assessment date for Property Taxes through the day before the next assessment date for such Property Taxes).

(b) Property Tax Payment. Upon determination of the actual amount of Property Taxes, amount equal to the Seller’s share of the Property Taxes shall be applied toward reduction of the Cap.

Each Party shall provide and make available to any other Party any resale certificates and other exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by any other party. The Sellers agree to assist the Buyer in establishing the applicability of the occasional sale exemption or other exemption from any sales and use tax applicable to the sale of the Purchased Assets.

(d) Tax Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation, or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets.

The Buyer shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with any Seller Party and will make available to such Seller Party, during normal business hours, the Books and Records which relate to the period preceding the Closing Date and which are necessary or useful in connection with any tax inquiry, audit or similar investigation, any dispute or litigation or any other legitimate business purpose of such Seller Party; provided that, prior to receiving access to any of the Books and Records, such Seller Party shall enter into a customary confidentiality agreement binding on it and any other Person to whom the information may be disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 7.10, the Buyer shall be entitled to destroy Books and Records in accordance with a customary document retention policy beginning on the sixth anniversary of the date hereof.

5.6 Employee Matters

(a) Hiring Process. Prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer, or one of the Buyer’s Related Persons, may make offers of employment to any or all of the Business Employees, or engage as a contractor any Business Employee or consultant of the Seller, on terms and conditions determined by the Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.6. Each such employment offer (“Employment Offer”) or engagement offer shall be subject to and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing and effective as of the Business Employee’s Hire Date or contractor’s commencement date. Those Business Employees who accept an Employment Offer, pass the Buyer’s or its Related Person’s applicable pre-employment screening processes, and are employed by a Seller on the Closing Date shall become employed by the Buyer or the Buyer’s Related Person, as applicable, immediately after the Closing; provided, however, that with respect to any Business Employee to whom the Buyer or one of the Buyer’s Related Persons has made an Employment Offer pursuant to this Section 5.6 but who is on any approved leave of absence on the Closing Date (other than vacation), such Business Employee shall become employed by the Buyer or the Buyer’s Related Person, as applicable, effective as of the date such Business Employee is available to begin active employment with the Buyer or the Buyer’s Related Person, as applicable (but, in all events, not later than 90 days following the Closing Date).

The Sellers shall assist the Buyer or its Related Person in communicating with the Business Employees or the Sellers’ contractors regarding potential employment or engagement with the Buyer or one of its Related Persons.

With respect to each employee benefit plan or policy, including severance, vacation and paid-time-off plans, policies and practices, sponsored or maintained by the Buyer or a Related Person of the Buyer, the Buyer or a Related Person of the Buyer shall grant, or cause to be granted to, each Business Employee who has accepted employment with the Buyer or one of its Related Persons (each a “Continued Employee”), from and after the Continued Employee’s Hire Date, credit for all service with the Sellers and respective Related Persons prior to the Continued Employee’s Hire Date using the same methodology used by such entities for employee benefit plan purposes, including eligibility to participate, vesting credit, eligibility to commence benefits, vacation days, sick days and severance but not including benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plans of the Sellers or any of their respective Related Persons; provided, however, that if the Sellers maintain a comparable benefit plan, service shall be credited solely to the extent that such service was or would have been credited for such purposes under such comparable plan (provided that the Sellers supply the Buyer with such information and represent its truth and accuracy).

(c) Cooperation with Respect to Continued Employees. With respect to each Continued Employee and effective as of the time immediately prior to the Continued Employee’s Hire Date, the Sellers shall (i) terminate the employment of such Continued Employee and (ii) waive and release any confidentiality, non-competition, non-disclosure and similar agreements between a Seller Party and such Continued Employee that would restrict or encumber such Continued Employee’s ability to perform his or duties as an employee of the Buyer or one of its Related Persons (except for any nondisclosure obligations relating to proprietary non-public information that is not related to the Business).

Claims of each Continued Employee and his or her eligible beneficiaries and dependents for welfare benefits (other than disability benefits and workers’ compensation that are incurred (i) prior to the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of the Sellers and (ii) from and after each Continued Employee’s respective Hire Dates shall be the sole responsibility of the Buyer or one of the Buyer’s Related Persons. For purposes of this paragraph, a medical/dental claim shall be considered incurred on the date when the medical/dental services are rendered or medical/dental supplies are provided, and not when the condition arose or when the course of treatment began. The Sellers shall be liable for claims for short-term disability benefits and workers’ compensation benefits by Continued Employees under such welfare benefit plans with respect to payments otherwise due prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer is not assuming responsibility and shall have no obligation under any Benefit Arrangements.

(e) Employee Records. Except as prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements, the Sellers shall provide to the Buyer or a Related Person of the Buyer copies of the personnel files of Continued Employees and such spreadsheets and other data as may be necessary or appropriate to establish payroll records and benefit enrollment records for such Continued Employees.

(f) No Duplication of Benefits. Nothing in this Agreement shall cause duplicate benefits to be paid or provided to or with respect to a Continued Employee under any employee benefit policies, plans, arrangements, programs, practices, or agreements. References herein to a benefit with respect to a Continued Employee shall include, where applicable, benefits with respect to any eligible dependents and beneficiaries of such Continued Employee under the same employee benefit policy, plan, arrangement, program, practice or agreement.

(g) Accrued and Unused Vacation. Vacation entitlement accrued but not utilized by a Continued Employee for the year in which the Closing Date occurs under the vacation policy applicable to such Continued Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, to the extent reflected as a current liability on the Latest Financials, shall be recognized by the Buyer or one of the Buyer’s Related Persons following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the terms of the Buyer’s or the Buyer’s Related Person’s vacation policy shall govern the utilization of vacation time after the Closing Date.

(h) Flexible Spending Accounts. As soon as administratively practicable following the Closing Date, the Sellers shall take, or cause to be taken, such action as is necessary to transfer the flexible spending account election and related account balance of each Continued Employee from the Sellers’ Flexible Benefit Plan (inclusive of its constituent plans) (“Seller’s FSA”) to the Flexible Benefit Plan established or maintained by the Buyer or a Related Person of the Buyer (“Buyer’s FSA”). The aggregate account balances of the Continued Employees who are participants in Seller’s FSA as of the Closing Date shall be expressly accrued for as a current liability on the most recent financial statements of the Sellers. From and after the date of such transfer, the Buyer or a Related Person of the Buyer shall cause Buyer’s FSA to assume the obligations of Seller’s FSA with respect to the elected flexible spending benefits of the Continued Employees under Seller’s FSA, and Seller’s FSA shall cease to be responsible therefor. The Buyer, the Related Persons of the Buyer and the Sellers shall cooperate in making all appropriate arrangements in connection with the transfer described in this Section 5.6(h).

(i) No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.6 with respect to employees and employee benefits are included for the sole benefit of the respective Parties and shall not create any right (a) in any other Person, including any current or former Business Employees, any participant in any Benefit Arrangement or any beneficiary thereof or (b) to continued employment with the Buyer or any of the Buyer’s Related Persons. Nothing contained in any Transaction Document shall (i) be construed to establish, amend, modify or continue any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement of any Party or (ii) constitute a limitation on or restriction against the right of any Party to amend, modify or terminate any such plan, policy or arrangement or the terms or conditions of employment of any Continued Employees after the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

With respect to each Real Property Lease, the Sellers shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Buyer in the transfer or assignment of any Real Property Lease to Buyer, in securing the consent of the landlord under such Real Property Lease to any such transfer or assignment or in the entry by Buyer into a new lease with any such landlord.

(b) If any Proceeding relating to a Third Party Claim referred to in Section 7.6(a) is brought against an Indemnified Party and it gives notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Proceeding and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification

with respect to any Damages arising under such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Article VII for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such a Proceeding, (i) no compromise or settlement of such Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other Claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) the Indemnified Party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Claims effected without its consent. If the Indemnifying Party, within fifteen days after receipt of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding relating to a Third Party Claim (or, if earlier, by the fifteenth day preceding the day on which an answer or other pleading must be served in order to prevent judgment by default in favor of the Person asserting such Third-Party Claim or initiating such Proceeding) does not assume actively and in good faith the defense of any such Third-Party Claim or Proceeding relating thereto, the Indemnified Party may, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim or Proceeding relating thereto, after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) such defense or Proceeding, with its counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Third-Party Claim or Proceeding relating thereto for which it asserts that it is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may subject it or any of its Related Persons to a liability other than monetary damages, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) The Sellers hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any Claim that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may be served on any Seller Party with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

(e) The Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall furnish such information in reasonable detail as it may have with respect to a Third-Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written Claim, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) to the other party if such other party is assuming defense of such Claim, and make available all records and other similar materials which are reasonably required in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with and assist the defending party in the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(f) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VII: (i) both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person reasonably informed of the status of such Third-Party Claims and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

7.7 Procedure for Other Indemnification Claims

A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought.

7.8 Adjustments to Purchase Price

For all Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat (and will cause each of their respective Related Persons to treat) any payment made under this Article VII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

7.9 Independent Reliance and Related Matters

(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that any of the subsections of Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 may be relied upon independently of and without regard to any other of such subsections more specifically or generally covering the same subject matter. An Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek recovery under such provisions of this Agreement that maximizes its recovery (e.g., if particular Damages would be subject to the deductible in Section 7.4(c) if a Claim were made under one provision but would not be subject to such deductible if made under another provision, then the Indemnified Party may seek recovery under the provision that is not subject to the deductible).

(b) The Sellers’ obligations to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Persons under Section 7.2 (as limited by the other provisions of this Agreement) shall not be affected or reduced by the Buyer’s obligations under Section 7.3(c).

7.10 Access and Information

With respect to any Claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party will give to the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, accountants and other representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon the giving of reasonable prior notice, to its Books and Records relating to such Claims, and to its employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives, all without charge to the Indemnifying Party except for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 5.5 to the contrary, if a Claim for indemnification is made hereunder, the Indemnified Party agrees to maintain their Books and Records then in its possession that may relate to such Claim for such period of time as may be necessary to enable the Indemnifying Party to resolve such Claim.

8.12 Dispute Resolution

Any dispute among the Parties that arises from or relates to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the relationship between such Parties that is created pursuant to such agreements, any alleged breach of any provision hereof or thereof, or in any way relating to the subject matter of such agreements (all of which are referred to herein as “Disputes”), including any Disputes that are extra-contractual in nature, or that are based on contract, tort, state or federal law,

or other legal or equitable bases, regardless of whether a Party is seeking Damages or any other relief and regardless of whether or not any specific Transaction Document refers to this Section 8.12 shall be resolved as provided in this Section 8.12; provided, however, that (i) the term “Disputes” does not include any disagreement under Section 2.6 because specific procedures are specified therein to resolve such disagreements and (ii) a Party shall be permitted to take the actions contemplated by Section 8.12(a).

(a) This Section 8.12 will not be construed to prevent the Parties from instituting, and the Parties are authorized to institute, formal proceedings (including seeking provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary injunction, and replevin from the appropriate court) earlier to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, to avoid irreparable harm, to enforce the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 5.1, to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or to pursue injunctive or other equitable remedies.

(b) Any Dispute shall be submitted to mandatory and binding arbitration at the election of any Party (the “Disputing Party”) pursuant to the following conditions:

(i) Procedures. The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the then applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, except as expressly provided in this Section 8.12 (the “AAA Rules”). The arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) shall be selected pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 8.12(b)(ii). In resolving the substance of the Dispute, the Arbitrator shall apply substantive law of the state of New York or applicable substantive federal law, without regard to any conflict of law or choice of law principles that would apply the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

(ii) Selection of Arbitrator.

1. The Disputing Party shall notify the other parties that it is submitting the Dispute to final and binding arbitration to be conducted privately and confidentially in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.13.

2. The Dispute shall be resolved by a single Arbitrator mutually acceptable to the parties to such Dispute. If such parties are unable to agree upon a mutually acceptable Arbitrator within 30 days of the submission of the Dispute to arbitration, such Arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the then-applicable AAA Rules.

(iii) Replacement of Arbitrator. Should any Arbitrator refuse or be unable to proceed with arbitration proceedings as called for by this Section 8.12(b), such Arbitrator shall be replaced in the same manner by which he or she was appointed.

(iv) Place of Arbitration. The arbitration shall be held in Houston, Texas and shall be conducted in the Houston, Texas office of the AAA for purposes of such arbitration. The Parties expressly consent to the location of such arbitration and agree not to contest this venue provision or the choice of law provision set forth in Section 8.12(b)(i), it being acknowledged and agreed that Texas bears a reasonable relation to this Agreement and the Parties have knowingly and voluntarily elected a Texas forum. Any action in order to enforce this arbitration clause or an award granted hereunder may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. Process in any such

Proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in Section 8.3 will be deemed effective service of process on such Party.

(v) Conduct of Arbitration. Upon the service of an arbitration demand, the Parties shall discuss and attempt to agree upon the manner, timing and extent of discovery that may be conducted prior to and in preparation for the arbitration hearing. In the event the Parties are unable to agree upon the manner, timing and extent of discovery, such issues shall be submitted to the Arbitrator for resolution. However, under no circumstances shall the Arbitrator allow more depositions, interrogatories, requests for production of documents and requests for admission than permitted by the presumptive limitations set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(2). The Arbitrator shall have the authority to impose appropriate sanctions, including an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party that fails to cooperate in good faith in discovery permitted by this Section 8.12(b)(v) or ordered by the Arbitrator. If the amount in dispute is less than $1,000,000.00, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties the arbitration hearing shall be conducted no later than 150 days after the determination of the Arbitrator in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.12(b)(ii). If the amount in dispute is $1,000,000.00 or more, the arbitration hearing shall be conducted at such time as the Parties have completed the discovery permitted by this Section 8.12(b)(v) and as determined by the Arbitrator. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the arbitration hearing shall be conducted on consecutive days. There shall be no transcript of the arbitration hearing. The Arbitrator must give effect to legal privileges including the attorney-client privilege and the work-product immunity.

(vi) Arbitration Award. The Arbitrator shall render a binding, reasoned decision within 20 days following the completion of the arbitration hearing. The award of the Arbitrator shall be in writing. The Arbitrator must certify in the award that such award conforms to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (e.g., the award must comply with the parameters set forth in Article VII). The award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive, and judgment on the award may be entered pursuant to Section 8.12(b)(iv).

(vii) Time of the Essence. The Arbitrator is instructed that time is of the essence in the arbitration proceeding, and that the Arbitrator shall have the right and authority to issue reasonable monetary sanctions against any Party if, upon a showing of good cause, such Party is unreasonably delaying the proceeding. The amount of such sanction shall be related to the additional harm, if any, caused by the delay.

(viii) Expenses. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to assess the costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding (including the Arbitrator’s fees and expenses) against any of the parties to such proceeding. The Arbitrator shall also have the authority to award attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing side.

(ix) Confidentiality. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the arbitration proceedings and award shall be maintained in confidence by the Parties.

(x) Severability. The provisions of this Section 8.12 are independent of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the Parties intend that the provisions of this Section 8.12 shall continue in effect even though one or more provisions of the Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any provision of this Section 8.12) shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate shall also survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

(c) Acknowledgment. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS SECTION 8.12 AND THAT THEY ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8.12(b).

8.13 Specific Performance

Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity. Each Party hereby waives the defense in any equitable proceeding that there is an adequate remedy at law for any such actual or threatened breach of this Agreement.

8.14 No Presumption Against Any Party

Neither any Transaction Document nor any uncertainty or ambiguity therein shall be construed or resolved against any Party, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, each Transaction Document has been reviewed by each of the Parties and their counsel and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of all Parties.

8.15 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission or scanned and e-mailed transmission will constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. At the request of any Party, the Parties will confirm facsimile or scanned and emailed transmission by signing a duplicate original document.
