(b) Closing Statement. Within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Seller Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its proposed calculation of (i) the Closing Working Capital prepared in accordance with the principles set forth on the Working Capital Example and on a basis consistent with the Accounting Principles, (ii) the Closing Working Capital Adjustment, (iii) the Closing Cash, (iv) the Company Indebtedness, (v) the Company Transaction Expenses, and (vi) based on the foregoing, the adjusted Purchase Price. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with each of the definitions of the terms in the immediately preceding sentence and the Accounting Principles. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in good faith, be based on facts and circumstances existing on the Closing Date and shall reasonably specify each item taken into account in Purchaser’s proposed calculation of the Purchase Price. The Closing Statement will entirely disregard (A) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Company as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenants of Sellers herein) or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Purchaser or any other transaction entered into by Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (B) any of the plans, transactions, or changes which Purchaser intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Company or its business or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Purchaser or any of its assets or liabilities. In its delivery of the Closing Statement, Purchaser shall certify that the Closing Statement was prepared in accordance with this Section 2.3(b). If Purchaser does not deliver a Closing Statement within such seventy-five (75)-day period, then the Actual Adjustment shall be deemed to equal zero.

(c) Dispute. Within sixty (60) days following receipt by the Seller Representative of the Closing Statement, the Seller Representative shall deliver written notice to Purchaser if the Seller Representative disputes any calculation or item set forth in the Closing Statement. If the Seller Representative does not notify Purchaser of a dispute with respect to the Closing Statement within such sixty (60)-day period, such Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, and the Closing Statement shall be deemed to set forth the final Closing Working Capital, Closing Working Capital Adjustment, amount of Closing Cash, Company Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses, and Purchase Price, in each case, for purposes of determining the Actual Adjustment. In the event of a notification of such dispute, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Purchaser and the Seller Representative, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after the Seller Representative advises Purchaser of his objections, then Purchaser and the Seller Representative jointly shall engage RSM US LLP, provided that if RSM US LLP is not willing or unable to accept such engagement, then Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall jointly engage another nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm that is not presently providing and has not provided any of the Parties or their respective Affiliates with services in the last two (2) years, as mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and the Seller Representative (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve such dispute. As promptly as practicable thereafter, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall each prepare and submit a

16

presentation to the Accounting Firm regarding the differences, and only such differences, with respect to the Closing Statement (the “Disputed Items”). Purchaser and the Seller Representative will instruct the Accounting Firm to, and the Accounting Firm will, make a final determination of the Disputed Items (and only the Disputed Items) in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles and the definitions of Closing Working Capital, Closing Working Capital Adjustment, Closing Cash, Company Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses, and Purchase Price. Purchaser and the Seller Representative will instruct the Accounting Firm not to, and the Accounting Firm will not, assign a value to any Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Seller Representative, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Seller Representative, on the other hand. Purchaser and the Seller Representative will also instruct the Accounting Firm to, and the Accounting Firm will, make its determination based solely on presentations by Purchaser and the Seller Representative that are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement and the Accounting Principles (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). Purchaser and the Seller Representative will cooperate with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement and use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve such dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Disputed Items are submitted to the Accounting Firm. Except as Purchaser and the Seller Representative may otherwise agree, all communications between Purchaser and the Seller Representative or any of their respective representatives, on the one hand, and the Accounting Firm, on the other hand, will be in writing with copies simultaneously delivered to the non-communicating party. The Accounting Firm’s determination will, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction pursuant to Section 8.3, and will not be subject to court review or otherwise appealable. The process set forth in this Section 2.3 shall be the exclusive remedy for the Parties for any disputes related to items required to be reflected in the Closing Statement or included in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital and the Closing Working Capital Adjustment. The Closing Statement shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) and, as so revised, such Closing Statement shall be deemed to set forth the final Closing Working Capital, Closing Working Capital Adjustment, Closing Cash, Company Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses and Purchase Price, in each case, for all purposes hereunder (including the determination of the Actual Adjustment). Each of Purchaser and the Seller Representative will bear its or his own legal, accounting and other fees and expenses of participating in the dispute resolution procedure set forth in this Section 2.3(c). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm (i) will be borne by Sellers in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of Disputed Items submitted thereto for resolution that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Seller Representative (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such submitted Disputed Items and (ii) will be borne by Purchaser in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of Disputed Items submitted thereto for resolution that are successfully disputed by the Seller Representative (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such submitted Disputed Items; provided that in the event a retainer is required by the Accounting Firm, such retainer will be funded equally by Sellers and Purchaser and the cost of the retainer will be reallocated between Sellers and Purchaser consistent with the allocation of the total fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm pursuant to the methodology set forth in this sentence.

17

(d) Access. Subject to reasonable limitations to minimize disruptions to the operation of the Company’s business, execution of reasonable confidentiality agreements by the Seller Representative and his representatives to protect the Company’s proprietary or confidential information and without obligating Purchaser or the Company to incur any out-of-pocket expenses, Purchaser will, and will cause the Company to, (i) provide the Seller Representative and his representatives with full access during normal business hours to the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), supporting data, facilities and employees of the Company for purposes of their review of the Closing Statement, and (ii) cooperate fully with the Seller Representative and his representatives in connection with such review, including providing on a timely basis all other information necessary or useful in connection with the review of the Closing Statement as is reasonably requested by the Seller Representative or his representatives.

(e) Adjustment.

(i) If the Actual Adjustment is a negative amount (the “Shortfall”), then the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(c), instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow Amount funds in the Adjustment Escrow Account (a) to Purchaser an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the Actual Adjustment into an account designated in writing by Purchaser, and (b) the remainder, if any, of the Adjustment Escrow Amount in the Adjustment Escrow Account to Sellers by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the Seller Representative to Purchaser prior to the date such payment is due hereunder. If the Shortfall exceeds the amount contained in the Adjustment Escrow Account, Sellers shall be obligated, jointly and severally, within five (5) Business Days of the determination of such Shortfall pursuant to Section 2.3(c), to deposit or cause to be deposited an amount equal to the difference between the Shortfall and the funds contained in the Adjustment Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds, into an account designated in writing by Purchaser.

(ii) If the Actual Adjustment is a positive amount, then, within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(c), (a) Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Sellers an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the Actual Adjustment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Seller Representative to Purchaser prior to the date such payment is due hereunder, and (b) Seller Representative and Purchaser shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Sellers all of the funds contained in the Adjustment Escrow Account.

(iii) If the Actual Adjustment is zero, there will be no adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.3(e), and within two (2) Business Days from the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or 2.3(c), the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Sellers all of the funds contained in the Adjustment Escrow Account to an account designated in writing by the Seller Representative to Purchaser prior to the date such payment is due hereunder.

18

Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and cannot be sold under the Securities Act unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

The Company or Sellers have answered to Purchaser’s satisfaction all inquiries that Purchaser and its representatives and advisors have made concerning the business of the Company or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.7 Litigation. There is no legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened by or before any Governmental Body against Purchaser, nor to the knowledge of Purchaser is there any pending investigation by any Governmental Body, which would give any third party the right to enjoin or rescind the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise prevent Purchaser from complying with the terms and provision of this Agreement.

6.8 Solvency. Assuming the accuracy of all of Sellers’ representations and warranties contained herein, immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser and each of its Subsidiaries (including the Company) shall (a) be able to pay their respective debts as they become due and shall own property which has a fair saleable value greater than the amounts required to pay their respective debts (including a reasonable estimate of the amount of all contingent Liabilities); and (b) have adequate capital to carry on their respective businesses.

ARTICLE VII

COVENANTS

7.1 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Purchaser will not, and will not permit the Company to amend, repeal or modify any provision in the Company’s Governing Documents relating to the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses of any officers and directors (each, an “D&O Indemnified Person”) (unless to provide for greater exculpation or indemnification or unless required by Law), it being the intent of the Parties that the officers and directors of the Company will continue to be entitled to such exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses to the full extent of the Law.

(b) In addition to the other rights provided for in this Section 7.1 and not in limitation thereof, from and after the Closing, the Company (“D&O Indemnifying Party”) will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) indemnify and hold harmless (and release from any liability to Purchaser or the Company), the D&O Indemnified Persons against all D&O Expenses (as defined below), losses, claims, damages, judgments or amounts paid in settlement (“D&O Costs”) in respect of any threatened, pending or completed claim, action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, based on or arising out of or relating to the fact that such Person is or was a director or officer of the Company and arising out of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing (including in respect of acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder) (a “D&O Indemnifiable Claim”), and (ii) advance to such D&O Indemnified Persons all D&O Expenses incurred in connection with any D&O Indemnifiable Claim (including in circumstances where the D&O Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of such claim) promptly after receipt of reasonably detailed statements therefor; provided, however, that the Person to whom D&O Expenses are to be advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification. Any D&O Indemnifiable Claims will continue until such D&O Indemnifiable Claim is disposed of or all judgments, orders, decrees or other rulings in connection with such D&O Indemnifiable Claim are fully satisfied. For the purposes of this Section 7.1(b), “D&O Expenses” will include reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, to be a witness in or participate in any D&O Indemnifiable Claim, but will exclude damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement (which items are included in the definition of D&O Costs). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 7.1 will limit any Party’s liabilities under this Agreement, any Company Document or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated by this Agreement, including for Fraud.

44

(c) Simultaneously with the Closing, Purchaser will, or will cause the Company to, obtain, maintain and fully pay for irrevocable “tail” insurance policies naming the D&O Indemnified Persons as direct beneficiaries with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Closing Date from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date (the “D&O Tail Policy”). Purchaser will not, or will cause the Company to not, cancel or change such insurance policies in any respect. Purchaser on the one hand, and Sellers on the other hand, shall each bear one-half of the cost and expenses relating to the D&O Tail Policy.

(d) In the event that all or substantially all of the equity interest or Assets of the Company are sold, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, then Purchaser will, and will cause the Company to, in each such case, ensure that the successors and assigns of the Company assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.1. The provisions of this Section 7.1(d) will apply to all of the successors and assigns of the Company.

(e) The obligations under this Section 7.1 will not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to affect adversely any D&O Indemnified Person to whom this Section 7.1 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Person. The provisions of this Section 7.1 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by (as express third-party beneficiaries), each D&O Indemnified Person and his or her heirs and representatives, successors and assigns and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have had by Contract or otherwise.

7.2 Public Announcements. Except to the extent required by Law or applicable stock exchange listing standard, none of the Company, Purchaser, or the Seller Representative shall issue, or cause to be issued, any press release or public announcement of any kind (a) concerning the transactions contemplated hereby without the consent of the other Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or (b) disclosing the amount of the Purchase Price. If Purchaser determines that it must file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to disclose the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser will provide the Seller Representative with a draft of such filing at least one Business Day prior to its filing and consider in good faith any revisions proposed thereto by the Seller Representative.

7.3 Access and Information. Following the Closing and until any applicable statute of limitations (including periods of waiver) has run (the “Retention Period”), Purchaser agrees to retain all Books and Records in existence on the Closing Date and provided to Purchaser and, subject to reasonable limitations to minimize disruptions to the operation of the Company’s business, execution of reasonable confidentiality agreements by the Seller Representative and his representatives to protect the Company’s proprietary or confidential information and without obligating Purchaser or the Company to incur any out-of-pocket expenses, to grant to the Seller

45

Representative and his representatives during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to Purchaser, the right, at the expense of Sellers, (i) to inspect and copy the Books and Records and (ii) to have personnel of Purchaser made available to them or to otherwise cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with (A) preparing and filing Tax Returns and/or any Tax inquiry, audit, investigation or dispute, or (B) any litigation, audit, dispute, claim or investigation. No Books and Records shall be destroyed by Purchaser during the Retention Period without first advising the Seller Representative in writing and giving the Seller Representative a reasonable opportunity to obtain possession thereof at Sellers’ expense.

7.4 Tax Matters.

(i) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added, and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Company Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and paid by Purchaser. Purchaser will, at its own expense, duly and timely file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes and, if required by applicable Law, the Sellers will, and cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or other documentation. To extent of any Tax Returns to be filed by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.4(a)(i), Purchaser shall, or (as applicable) shall cause the Company to, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes (provided that the Seller Representative shall reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as necessary and Purchaser will provide, at least seven (7) days prior to the filing date thereof, a copy of each such Tax Return or other document for the Seller Representative’s review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)).

(ii) Tax Returns.

A. The Seller Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared consistent with past practice, unless the applicable previously filed Tax Return was materially inaccurate based on applicable Law or as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement, and timely file or cause to be timely filed (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all Pass-Through Income Tax Returns and net income Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company for any taxable period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Seller Returns” and each, a “Seller Return”); provided, with respect to any Seller Return or Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Seller Representative shall be permitted to request that the Company make any available election to elect out of any composite or similar Tax filing or payment regime, provided further that the Company properly withholds and remits any withholding Taxes from not filing any composite or similar Tax filing or payment regime. No later than twenty-five (25) days before the due date (as permissibly extended) for filing an applicable Seller Return, the Seller Representative will deliver a copy of such Seller Return, along with supporting workpapers, to Purchaser for its review and reasonable comment. Purchaser shall have ten (10) days from the date that the Seller Representative delivers such Tax Return to Purchaser to review and provide a written statement setting forth (in reasonably sufficient detail

46

and including all supporting workpapers) any reasonable comments it may have to such Tax Return. To the extent Purchaser and the Seller Representative are not able to resolve any matters relating to a Seller Return within ten (10) days following the expiration of the applicable review period set forth above for such Tax Return, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall submit such matter to the Accounting Firm for resolution pursuant to procedures substantially similar to those set forth in Section 2.3(d) of this Agreement; provided that (x) in resolving any such matter, the Accounting Firm shall be bound by and follow any explicit agreements forth in this Agreement (including this Section 7.4) as to the Tax reporting of any matter and (y) the expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be shared equally by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand. If any dispute with respect to a Seller Return is not resolved before the due date, Purchaser shall file, or caused to be filed, the Tax Return as originally prepared (but reflecting any changes to which the Seller Representative and Purchaser have agreed) and shall, as necessary, amend such Tax Returns to reflect the resolution of any remaining disputes to the extent resolved in accordance with the foregoing provisions. With respect to a Seller Return prepared in accordance with the above and filed after the Closing Date for a taxable period ending within 2020 or a taxable period ending within 2021 and on or before the Closing Date, no later than two (2) Business Days before the due date (as permissibly extended) of such Seller Return, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any Taxes shown as due on such Seller Return but only to the extent such Taxes were not included in the determination of Closing Working Capital, Company Indebtedness or Company Transaction Expenses or withheld or deducted pursuant to Section 3.4 and to the extent of the agreed amount shown on such Seller Returns, with any additional payment made by Sellers when all disputes or comments with respect to the applicable Seller Return are resolved.

B. Except for the Tax Returns to which Section 7.4(a)(ii)(A) applies and subject to the provisions of Section 7.4(a)(ii)(C)(iii), Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file, or cause to be timely filed (taking into account all extensions properly obtained), all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company and that are first due after the Closing Date with respect to (x) all Tax periods that end on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and (y) all Tax periods that begin before and end after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period,” and the Tax Returns required to be prepared by Purchaser pursuant this Section 7.4(a)(ii)(B) referred to herein as, collectively, the “Purchaser Returns” and each, a “Purchaser Return”). Each Purchaser Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice of the Company and without a change of any election or any accounting method, unless the applicable previously filed Tax Return was materially inaccurate based on applicable Law or as otherwise expressly contemplated this Agreement (including with respect to the reporting of any applicable Transaction Tax Deductions in the manner agreed and shown on Schedule 7.4(a)(ii)(B)) and (x) shall be submitted by Purchaser to the Seller Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by the Seller Representative, supporting documentation) (1) in the case of any income Tax Return, at least twenty-five (25) days before the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return and (2) in the case of any other Purchaser Return, at least ten (10) days before the due date (as permissibly extended) thereof. With respect to a Purchaser Return prepared in accordance with this Section 7.4(a)(ii)(B) and filed after the Closing Date for a taxable period ending within 2020 or a taxable period ending within 2021 and on or before the Closing Date, no later than two Business Days before the due date (as permissibly extended), Sellers shall pay the Purchaser the amount of Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns,

47

but only to the extent such Taxes were not included in the determination of Closing Working Capital, Company Indebtedness or Company Transaction Expenses or withheld or deducted pursuant to Section 3.4 and to the extent of the agreed amount shown on such Tax Returns, with any additional payment made by Sellers when all disputes or comments with respect to the applicable Tax Return are resolved. The Seller Representative shall have (x) in the case of a Purchaser Return that is an income Tax Return ten (10) days and (y) in the case of any other Purchaser Return five (5) days, from the date on which Purchaser delivers such Purchaser Return to the Seller Representative to review and provide a written statement setting forth (in reasonably sufficient detail and including all supporting workpapers) any reasonable comments it may have to such Tax Return (provided that, with respect to any Purchaser Return required by applicable Law to be filed within ten (10) days of the close of the applicable taxable period or other tax reporting event to which it relates, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall cooperate and work together in good faith to provide the Seller Representative with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comment to such Tax Return prior to its applicable due date (as permissibly extended) and filing by Purchaser). To the extent Purchaser and the Seller Representative are not able to resolve any matters relating to a Purchaser Return within ten (10) days (in the case of an income Tax Return) or three (3) day (in the case of any other Purchaser Return) following the expiration of the applicable review period set forth above for such Tax Return, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall submit such matter to the Accounting Firm for resolution pursuant to procedures substantially similar to those set forth in Section 2.3(c) of this Agreement; provided that (x) in resolving any such matter, the Accounting Firm shall be bound by and follow any explicit agreements forth in this Agreement as to the Tax reporting of any matter (including the reporting of any Transaction Tax Deductions) and (y) the expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be shared equally by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand. If any dispute with respect to a Purchaser Return is not resolved before the due date, Purchaser shall file, or caused to be filed, the Tax Return as originally prepared (but reflecting any changes to which the Seller Representative and Purchaser have agreed) and shall, as necessary, amend such Tax Returns to reflect the resolution of any remaining disputes to the extent resolved in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any payment covenant contained in this Section 7.4(a)(ii)(B) or in Section 7.4(a)(ii)(A) above, Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ recourse for any failure by a Seller to comply with any such covenant shall be limited to the provisions of Section 7.4(h) below.

C. For purposes of this Agreement (including the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns under this Section 7.4(a)(ii)(A) and (B)), the Parties agree that the applicable Transaction Tax Deductions shall be allocated to the taxable periods as agreed and stated on Schedule 7.4(a)(ii)(C)(ii) and (as applicable) the portions of any Straddle Periods ending on the Closing Date, in each case, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, and Purchaser shall not cause to be made any extraordinary transaction or event on the Closing Date that would result in any increased Tax liability for which Sellers would be negatively impacted pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement.

(i) To the extent that any of the Transaction Tax Deductions are not fully utilized in a Pre-Closing Tax Period in a taxable period other than a Pre-Closing Tax Period (such other taxable period, a “Post-Closing Tax Period”), the Company shall elect to carry back any item of loss, deduction, or credit from any Transaction Tax Deductions to prior taxable years to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

48

(ii) As additional consideration for the acquisition of the Shares, Purchaser will pay to the Seller Representative, for the benefit of the Sellers, any and all Seller Tax Benefits (as defined below) within ten (10) days of the filing of the Tax Return on which any such benefit is reported. For this purpose, a “Seller Tax Benefit” is any reduction in (including any credit against or refund of) the Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliate’s (including the Company’s) (collectively, the “Purchaser Group”) cumulative liability for net income Taxes in Post-Closing Tax Period to the extent attributable to a Transaction Tax Deduction (as determined by assuming the applicable Transaction Tax Deduction is the first item available for use for the relevant taxable period and assuming that such item offsets taxable income otherwise subject to a combined federal and state and local income tax rate of 10.5%) and only for such deductions shown or described on Schedule 7.4(a)(ii)(C)(ii). For this purpose, Transaction Tax Deductions shall include any carryforwards, net operating losses or similar item to the extent attributable to one or more Transaction Tax Deductions (including as a result of one or more Transaction Tax Deductions not being fully utilized in, or not arising in, a Pre-Closing Tax Period), and Purchaser agrees to (and to cause each other of the Purchaser Group to) deduct (and not capitalize) any and all Transaction Tax Deductions on the earliest possible Tax Returns in the manner agreed and stated on Schedule 7.4(a)(ii)(C)(ii). Within five (5) days following the filing of a Tax Return for the Purchaser Group after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify the Seller in writing, together with reasonable supporting documentation, the amount (if any) of any Seller Tax Benefit for such tax year. Purchaser covenants that it shall not take, and shall not permit any member of the Purchaser Group to take, any action (including any liquidation, merger, amalgamation, or any other transaction) a primary purpose or effect of which is to frustrate Seller’s entitlement to the benefits of this Section 7.4(a)(ii)(C).

(iii) Except as expressly set forth in Section 7.4(a)(ii)(A) and (B), neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall (or shall cause or permit the Company to) amend, refile or otherwise modify (including by way of carry back of any Tax attributes), or agree to any waiver or extension of the statute of limitations or any period during which a Tax may be assessed with respect to, any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period without the written consent of the Seller Representative, which consent may be unreasonably withheld. Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company to, enter into any voluntary disclosure agreement or enroll in any voluntary disclosure program with a Taxing Authority with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, of the Company without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Seller Representative; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Purchaser and the Sellers agree that Purchaser may cause the Company to engage the applicable taxing authorities with respect to, and cause the Company to participate in, any voluntary disclosure program for the VDA Jurisdictions (as defined on Schedule 7.4(h)) with respect to sales and use Taxes listed on Schedule 7.4(h) clause 2(a) so long as (i) Purchaser and the Company keep the Seller Representative reasonably informed of all material developments relating thereto, (ii) provide the Seller Representative with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide reasonable comment to all Tax Returns and written submissions in respect to any such program or participation prior to

49

any filing or submission thereof, (iii) allow the Seller Representative to participate in any such process if he so chooses, (iv) not finally resolve or settle any such matter without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (vi) Sellers shall pay all out-of-pocket and reasonable costs and expenses associated with implementing the voluntary disclosure programs (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such costs and expenses and payments shall be subject to and count against the VDA Cap set forth (and defined) on Schedule 7.4(h) and shall not include any Taxes).

(b) Elections.

(i) Except as provided for in clause (ii) below, Purchaser shall not, without the prior consent of the Seller Representative (which may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold such consent, unless required by Law), make, or cause or permit to be made, any Tax election, or adopt or change any method of accounting, or undertake any extraordinary action on the Closing Date, that would affect Sellers or the Company for any period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

(ii) Each Seller shall join (and, as necessary, cause any Person that is treated as the owner of the stock of the Company for income Tax purposes to join), in an appropriate and timely manner, with Purchaser in making an Election and provide as a deliverable at Closing pursuant to Section 3.2. Each Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to take all reasonable actions necessary and appropriate to effect and preserve a timely Election, including participating in the timely filing of IRS Form 8023 and related or comparable forms for state, local, or foreign applicable Law purposes (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Forms”). In advance of Closing, Purchaser has prepared all Section 338(h)(10) Forms (other than sections that relate to information regarding Sellers and parties in Sellers’ control) and provided them to Sellers for completion and execution. Each Seller shall promptly and properly complete and execute all of the Section 338(h)(10) Forms that Purchaser provides and return the appropriately executed copies pursuant to this Agreement for timely filing by Purchaser with the applicable Governmental Body.

(iii) Attached hereto as Exhibit H is a purchase price allocation methodology schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the “adjusted gross-up basis” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.338-5) among the Company’s assets in accordance the applicable provisions of Sections 338 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Within the later of (x) sixty (60) days following the Closing or (y) thirty (30) days following the finalization of the Closing Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.3, the Purchaser shall provide Seller Representative with a completed allocation of the acquired assets for its review and comment (provided that, the Seller Representative will provide any requested changes to the Allocation Schedule as prepared by Purchaser within ten (10) days following Purchaser’s delivery of such schedule to the Seller Representative and any such matter so raised which cannot be resolved by Purchaser and the Seller Representative within fifteen (15) days of being raised by the Seller Representative shall be submitted to the Accounting Firm pursuant to procedures consistent with the resolution procedures set forth in Section 7.4(a)(ii) and Section 2.3(c)). The Parties agree that all Tax Returns (including a IRS Form 8883) will be prepared and filed consistently with the Allocation Schedule (as finally determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section) and the Parties will not take any position for Tax purposes (whether in

50

a Tax-related audit, examination or proceeding or in a Tax Return) contrary to such Allocation Schedule (as finally determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section) unless required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Code Section 1313(a)(1). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers and Purchaser agree that the restrictive covenants described in Section 7.11 (and any similar agreement or covenant) are a component part of the Company’s goodwill and accordingly, for purposes of the IRS Form 8883, any other Tax Return and the Allocation Schedule, no portion of the Purchase Price (or any other consideration for applicable Tax purposes) will be allocated to such covenants or agreements, and further agree that no portion of the Purchase Price (or any other consideration for applicable Tax purposes) is for compensation relating to past or future services by the Sellers. The Seller’s Representative and Purchaser shall inform each other promptly of any challenge by any taxing authority to the allocation set forth on the Allocation Schedule. Purchaser and Seller Representative shall make appropriate adjustments to the Allocation Schedule to reflect changes in the Purchase Price contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Apportionment. For purposes of this section, in the case of any Taxes that are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of the Taxes other than Taxes based on or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period; and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date, provided that (x) other than with respect to property placed in service after the Closing Date, exemptions, allowances, credits or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period, (y) all income, gain or profit arising after the Closing at the Purchaser’s direction and outside of the ordinary course of business, shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not apply to income, gain or profit arising from any Election), and (z) all Transaction Tax Deductions shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date in the manner agreed and stated on Schedule 7.4(a)(ii)(C)(ii). Any credits relating to a Straddle Period shall be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended at the Closing Date, and the foregoing provisions are not intended to alter any obligation in respect of Taxes for which Purchaser is expressly responsible for or otherwise obligated to pay under this Agreement (including Section 7.4(a)(i)). As and to the extent applicable, Purchaser and Sellers agree to cause a termination of the Company’s taxable year at the end of the Closing Date and shall not use any proration or per-share, per-day (or similar) method of allocating any amount ratably over the year that the Closing occurs.

(d) Contests.

(i) After the Closing, Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller Representative in writing of any demand, claim or notice received by Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof (including the Company) from any Governmental Body or any other Person relating to

51

the commencement of any Tax-related action, audit, claim for refund, or administrative or judicial proceeding (each, a “Tax Action”) to the extent such Tax Action relates to (each, a “Seller Tax Action”) (x) a Pass-Through Income Tax Return for any period (or portion thereof) during which any Seller held an interest in the Company or (y) any Tax Action the resolution or outcome of which could result in any Tax or related Liability, damage or loss due or payable by any Seller to any Governmental Body or Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) pursuant to this Agreement (Section 7.4(h)) (each, an “Other Tax Action”). Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing the asserted Tax liability and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Governmental Body or any other Person in respect of any such asserted Tax liability.

(ii) The Seller Representative shall have the right (at its election and at its own expense and by the counsel and representatives of its own choosing) to control the defense and resolution all Seller Tax Actions by providing written notice to the Purchaser. With respect to any Seller Tax Action controlled by the Seller Representative, (i) the Seller Representative may not settle any Seller Tax Action without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent Purchaser will not be unreasonably withhold, conditioned or delayed), (ii) the Seller Representative will keep Purchaser reasonably informed of all material communications with any Governmental Body, and (iii) with respect to any Seller Tax Action that is an Other Tax Action or which is reasonably likely to result in any Tax imposed directly on the Company, Purchaser (at its sole expense) may passively participate in (but not control or otherwise settle or resolve) such Seller Tax Action. The Seller Representative will have the right to participate (at its sole expense) in any proceeding with respect to Tax Action that Seller Representative does not elect to control pursuant to this Section 7.4(d) or that Seller ceases to control (each, a “Purchaser Controlled Action”). Purchaser shall control the conduct of such Purchaser Controlled Action, but Seller shall have the right to participate in such Purchaser Controlled Action at its own expense and, with the written consent of Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, and at its expense, Seller may assume control of the conduct of such Tax Action. Purchaser shall not (and shall not cause or permit) the resolution or settlement of any Purchaser Controlled Action without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions, if Purchaser fails to assume control of the conduct of any such Purchaser Controlled Action within a reasonable period following the receipt by Purchaser of notice of such Tax Action or fails to defend or contest any such Tax Action in good faith or by appropriate proceeds, the Seller Representative shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume control of such Tax Action and shall be able to settle, compromise and/or concede such Tax Action in its sole discretion.

(e) Cooperation. Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, agents, auditors, representatives, officers and employees reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period (including amended returns and claims for refund), including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and with respect to any claim with respect to the Taxes of the Company, which cooperation shall include but not be limited to (i) providing all relevant information that is available to Purchaser and/or Sellers, as the case may be, with respect to such Tax claim; (ii) making personnel available at reasonable times; and (iii) preparation of responses to requests for

52

information. None of Purchaser, the Company or any of their Affiliates shall dispose of any Tax Returns, Tax schedules, material Tax work-papers or any other Books and Records with respect to the Company prior to the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations of the respective Pre-Closing Tax Period, unless it first offers in writing to the Seller Representative the right to take possession of such materials at Sellers’ sole expense and the Seller Representative fails to accept such offer within fifteen (15) days of the offer being made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Sellers and the Seller Representative shall have right to make and/or otherwise retain copies of any Books and Records (and any other documents, worksheets, or other information relating to any Tax Returns) which a Seller or the Seller Representative may determinate is reasonably necessary to the preparation or filing of any Pass-Through Income Tax Return or any Tax Action (or potential Tax Action) for a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, and, after the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall provide the Sellers and the Seller Representative with access to (and the right to make and retain copies of) all such Books and Records and other documents or information. Any information obtained under this Section 7.4(d) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims with respect to any Tax.

(f) Tax Refunds. Upon receipt, but without duplication for any Seller Tax Benefit already paid pursuant to Section 7.4(a)(ii)(C) above, Purchaser shall promptly forward to the Seller Representative, for the benefit of the Sellers, each and every refund, credit or rebate (whether direct or indirect through a right of set-off or credit) of Taxes of the Company, and any interest received thereon, with respect to any taxable year or period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date or otherwise in respect of any Taxes included in the determination of the Purchase Price (or any component thereof).

(g) Consolidated Group Issues. Purchaser and the Seller Representative intend that the Company will join Purchaser’s U.S. consolidated federal income Tax group upon Purchaser’s acquisition of the Shares and as a result the Tax year of the Company will end for applicable income Tax purposes at the end of the Closing Date. The Seller Representative and Purchaser agree that the income Tax Return of the Company for such taxable period ending on the Closing Date (x) none of Purchaser or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall make a ratable allocation election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2) or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law, and (y) in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76 and any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law, any Taxes arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any transactions or actions engaged in by the Company not in the Ordinary Course of Business or taken by or at the direction of Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof that occur on the Closing Date but after the Closing (an “Extraordinary Transaction”) shall be the responsibility of Purchaser and shall be allocable to the taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, including for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller Representative shall not be liable or responsible for, nor shall it be required to indemnify Purchaser or the Company for, any, such Tax and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers for any Tax or other loss arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any such Extraordinary Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, deemed events resulting solely from an Election shall not be considered an Extraordinary Transaction for purposes of this provision.

53

(h) Tax Indemnification. Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any actual damages, including all out-of-pocket and reasonable costs and expenses, directly attributable to Taxes resulting from the matters expressly set forth and listed on Schedule 7.4(h); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including any provision intended to override any conflicting provision), Sellers shall not have any obligation to indemnify or reimburse Purchaser (i) for any damage constituting (in whole or in part) punitive, consequential, incidental, special, or indirect damages, or lost profits, loss of future revenue or income, or any diminution of value or similar damages based on “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or other valuation methodology, whether or not such damages were reasonably foreseeable or the Parties contemplated that such damages would be a probable result of a breach of this Agreement or any matters listed on Schedule 7.4(h), (ii) for any Taxes (or related damages) relating to any Transfer Tax, Taxes withheld or deducted from any amounts due or payable to any Seller under this Agreement or Taxes that were included as Company Indebtedness, in the determination of Closing Working Capital or as a Company Transaction Expense, (iii) for any damage resulting from any Fraud or breach of any covenant, representation or warranty by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company post-Closing), (iv) damages which relates to any claim for indemnity for which written notice is not provided by Purchaser to the Seller Representative prior to the expiration of applicable period (taking into account the claim made) set forth on Schedule 7.4(h).

(i) Recovery for Tax Indemnity. To the extent Purchaser is entitled to an indemnity payment pursuant to Section 7.4(h) and Schedule 7.4(h), in each case subject to the limitations of Section 7.4(h) and those set forth on Schedule 7.4(h), such indemnification payments shall be satisfied in the following manner, order and priority: (i) first, such amounts shall be paid or satisfied from the R&W Insurance Policy until the limits of the R&W Insurance Policy have been met, to the extent the applicable claims are covered by the R&W Insurance Policy and (ii) second, against the Sellers jointly and severally.

7.5 No Other Representations or Warranties.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company and Sellers are not making any representations or warranties whatsoever, express or implied, beyond those expressly given regarding the Company in Article IV (as modified by the Disclosure Schedules hereto) and those expressly given by Sellers in Article V (as modified by the Disclosure Schedules). Any claims Purchaser may have for breach of representation or warranty shall be based solely on the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article IV (as modified by the Disclosure Schedules hereto) or the representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in Article V (as modified by the Disclosure Schedules hereto). Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that none of the Company, nor Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates nor any other Person has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not expressly set forth within this Agreement, and Purchaser is not relying on anything other than the express provisions of this Agreement in entering into this Agreement. None of the Company, nor Sellers, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to Purchaser or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Purchaser or its representatives

54

of or Purchaser’s use of, any such information, including any confidential information memorandum distributed on behalf of Sellers or the Company relating to the Company or other publications, representations, warranties, forecasts, statements or information, including any information provided in a “data room”, “management presentation”, “break-out session” or otherwise to Purchaser or its Affiliates or representatives, or any other document or information in any form provided to Purchaser or its representatives in connection with the Share Sale and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the representations and warranties made by the Company and Sellers in this Agreement (as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules) supersede, replace and nullify in every respect all other information, whether written or oral, made available to Purchaser, its Affiliates or its representatives. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein. No Person is asserting the truth of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement; rather the parties have agreed that should any representations and warranties of any party prove untrue, the other party shall have the specific rights and remedies herein specified as the exclusive remedy therefor, but that no other rights, remedies or causes of action (whether in Law or in equity or whether in contract or in tort) are permitted to any Party as a result of the untruth of any such representation and warranty. PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY AND SELLERS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IV AND ARTICLE V, RESPECTIVELY, (X) PURCHASER IS ACQUIRING THE COMPANY ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS AND (Y) NONE OF THE COMPANY, SELLERS OR ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING, ANY STOCKHOLDER, MANAGER, MEMBER, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER IN ANY INDIVIDUAL, CORPORATE OR ANY OTHER CAPACITY) IS MAKING, AND PURCHASER IS NOT RELYING ON, ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR OTHER STATEMENTS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO ANY MATTER CONCERNING THE COMPANY, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED TO (OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED BY) PURCHASER OR ANY OF PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIVES.

(b) No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, stockholder, trustee, beneficiary, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Company, Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates or any successor or assign thereof (collectively, the “Equityholder Parties”), will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation (whether in contract or in tort) to Purchaser or any other Person resulting from (nor will Purchaser have any claim with respect to) (i) the distribution to Purchaser, or Purchaser’s use of, or reliance on, any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Purchaser in certain “data rooms,” confidential information memorandum or management presentations in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Share Sale or with respect to the pre-Closing conduct of the Company, including any alleged non-disclosure or misrepresentations made by any such Persons, in each case, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at Law or in equity, or otherwise.

55

(c) In connection with the investigation by Purchaser of the Company, Purchaser has received or may receive from the Company certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information. Purchaser acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties, that Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and that Purchaser will have no claim against anyone with respect thereto. Accordingly, Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Company, Sellers, nor any Equityholder Party whether in an individual, corporate or any other capacity, make any representation, warranty, or other statement with respect to, and Purchaser is not relying on, such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and Purchaser agrees that it has not relied thereon.

7.6 WARN Act. In any termination or layoff of any Business Employee by Purchaser or the Company on or after the Closing, Purchaser and the Company will comply fully, if applicable, with the WARN Act and all other applicable Laws, including those prohibiting discrimination and requiring notice to employees, a Governmental Body and/or a government official. Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, at any time prior to ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, effectuate a “plant closing” or “mass layoff,” as those terms are defined in the WARN Act or other applicable Laws, affecting in whole or in part any facility, site of employment, operating unit or employee of the Company without complying fully with the requirements of the WARN Act or other applicable Laws. Purchaser and the Company will bear the cost of compliance with (or failure to comply with) any such Laws.

7.7 R&W Insurance Policy. The R&W Insurance Policy has been bound and issued effective as of the date hereof. Purchaser shall bear any and all R&W Insurance Costs incurred prior to, at or following the Closing. Purchaser and its Affiliates will not amend, waive or otherwise modify Section 8.2 of the R&W Insurance Policy or any other provision of the R&W Insurance Policy relating to subrogation against Sellers without the Seller Representative’s prior written consent. Purchaser shall cause the R&W Insurance Policy to provide expressly that Sellers shall be third-party beneficiaries of and entitled to enforce the foregoing provisions in the R&W Insurance Policy.

7.8 Release. Effective at Closing, Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser and the Company, on the other hand, in each case on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns and Affiliates (each referred to collectively as a “Releasor”, as context requires) hereby releases and forever discharges the Purchaser and the Company, in the case where Sellers are the Releasor, or Sellers in the case where Purchaser and the Company is the Releasor, and each of Purchaser’s and the Company’s or Sellers’, as applicable, respective current and former Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or independent contractors, agents and representatives, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (each, a “Releasee”) from

56

liability for any and all damages, of whatever kind or nature, at Law or at equity, known or unknown, vested or contingent, suspected or unsuspected, and whether or not concealed or hidden, whichever have or may have existed, or that do exist, that may now or hereafter at any time be made or brought against any of them relating to or in respect of any period prior to and including the Closing, but excluding (i) in the case of Sellers, claims for indemnification as a director or officer pursuant to Governing Documents and related rights against insurance policies and the rights of D&O Indemnified Persons under Section 7.1 of this Agreement, (ii) any obligations of any Releasee or any rights of a Releasor in each case arising under this Agreement, the Company Documents or the Purchaser Documents and (iii) any obligations of any Releasee or rights of a Releasor under any Contract with the Company that is intended to survive Closing (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Each Releasor agrees to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim, action or demand or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced any claim, action or demand of any kind against any Releasee, based on or arising from any of the Released Claims and represents and warrants that it has not previously transferred and agrees that it will not transfer any Released Claim.

7.9 Permits.

(a) Except to the extent resulting from a breach of any of Sellers’ representations and warranties herein, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall bear sole responsibility for and all liabilities relating to obtaining or maintaining all necessary Permits from any Governmental Body, including DCSA and CFIUS as applicable, under any applicable Laws required in connection with the continued operation of the business of the Company, including by making all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with any Governmental Body) and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain or maintain a Permit from any Governmental Body, including DCSA and CFIUS as applicable.

7.10 Continuing Employees.

(a) Compensation and Benefit Plans. Except to the extent set forth on Schedule 7.10(a) or in any Offer Letter, Purchaser shall cause the Company, for a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2021 (i) to provide each Business Employee who continues employment following the Closing Date (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”) with (i) base salaries or wages and target annual bonus and incentive compensation opportunities that are, in all material respects, no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those in effect for such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) employee benefits (excluding equity or equity-based, defined benefit, deferred compensation, retiree health or welfare, long-term incentive, change in control and retention benefits) under employee benefit plans, programs, contracts and arrangements that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) Service Credit. Purchaser covenants that, for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting (but excluding benefit accrual) under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by Purchaser (but excluding any equity or equity-based, defined benefit, deferred compensation, retiree health or welfare, long-term incentive, change in control and retention benefits), the Continuing Employees will receive full credit for service

57

accrued or deemed accrued under any Company Benefit Plan in which the Continuing Employees were eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing or under any new Purchaser employee benefit plan to the same extent and for the same purpose as such Continuing Employee was entitled immediately prior to the Closing to credit for such service under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan; provided, however, that no such service shall be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits under any similar employee benefit plan. With respect to any Purchaser group health plans, Purchaser covenants that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause its insurance carriers to waive, all limitations as to pre-existing and at-work conditions, or waiting periods or required physical examinations, if any, with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees under any such plans to the extent that such conditions, exclusions and waiting periods would have been waived or satisfied under the corresponding welfare plan in which any such employee participated immediately prior to the Closing.

(c) No Right to Future Employment. Nothing contained in this Section 7.10, express or implied, is intended to require Purchaser or its Affiliates to continue to employ any of the Continuing Employees for any specific period of time or to confer upon any Person that is not a party to this Agreement any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, constitute the establishment of, or an amendment to, any Company Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan of Purchaser or its Affiliates.

7.11 Covenants Not to Compete and Not to Solicit or Hire. Sellers acknowledge that the Company has over many years devoted substantial time, effort and resources to developing the Company’s trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information, as well as the Company’s relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and others doing business with the Company; that such relationships, trade secrets and other information are vital to the successful conduct of the Company’s businesses in the future; that because of Sellers’ access to the Company’s confidential information and trade secrets, Sellers would be in a unique position to divert business from the Company and to commit irreparable damage to the Company were Sellers to be allowed to compete with the Company or to commit any of the other acts prohibited below; that the enforcement of the restrictive covenants against Sellers would not impose any undue burden upon either Seller; and that the ability to enforce the restrictive covenants against Sellers is a material inducement to the decision of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, during the Restricted Period:

(a) Each Seller hereby agrees, within the United States of America, not to, directly or indirectly through any Subsidiary or otherwise, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or have any interest, financial or otherwise, in, or act as a partner, manager, member, principal, executive, employee, agent, representative, consultant or independent contractor of, or licensor to, any business engaged in a business similar to or competitive with the business as conducted by the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Business”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers may collectively own up to 3% of the outstanding equity securities of any entity listed on a national stock exchange or actively traded in the over-the-counter market.

58

(b) Each Seller hereby agrees not to, directly or indirectly, initiate contact with or solicit any person employed or individual independent contractor retained by Purchaser, the Company or any other Subsidiary of Purchaser at any time during the preceding six (6) months (each a “Restricted Employee”), with the intent of hiring such Restricted Employee, hire or otherwise engage any such Restricted Employee, or induce or otherwise counsel, advise or encourage any such Restricted Employee to leave the employment or independent contractor relationship with Purchaser, the Company or any other Subsidiary of Purchaser, provided, however, that, except for the foregoing restriction on hiring or engaging any Restricted Employee, the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any Seller (i) causing to be placed any general advertisements in newspapers and/or other media of general circulation (including advertisements posted on the Internet or social media) that are not directed to or designed specifically to target the Restricted Employees (or any one of them), or (ii) or engaging any recruiting firm or similar organization to conduct a search on behalf of such Seller that is not directed to or designed specifically to target the Restricted Employees (or any one of them).

(c) Neither Seller will directly or indirectly knowingly, for him- or itself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, strategic partner, supplier, distributor, landlord or others doing business with the Purchaser or the Company to cease or reduce the extent of its business relationship with the Purchaser or the Company or to deal with any competitor of the Purchaser or the Company.

As used herein, “Restricted Period” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the 5th annual anniversary of the Closing Date. The Restricted Period will be extended for a Seller by the length of any period during which such Seller has been found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in breach of the terms of this Section 7.11.

If any provisions of this Section 7.11 should be found to be void under applicable Law but would be valid if some part thereof was deleted or the period or area of application reduced, such provisions shall apply with such modification as may be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, necessary to make them valid and effective.

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall terminate and expire at the Closing and accordingly, from and after the Closing there shall be no liability in respect of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise; provided that nothing in this Section 8.1 shall limit a Party’s rights in the event of Fraud. All covenants and agreements of any Party set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date until fully performed in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that any of

59

the Parties’ respective covenants and agreements that contain express survival periods or contemplate future performance or obligations shall survive the Closing Date for the period provided in accordance with their express terms; provided further that nothing in this Section 8.1 shall limit Sellers’ obligations to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 7.4(h). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the survival period set forth in this Section 8.1 shall not affect or otherwise limit any claim made or available under the R&W Insurance Policy.

8.2 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all costs and expenses (including any brokerage commissions or any finder’s or investment banker’s fees and including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated hereby and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses.

8.3 Submission to Exclusive Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Subject to Section 2.3 (which will govern any dispute arising thereunder), the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, New Castle County, or to the extent such court declines jurisdiction, first to any federal court, or second to any state court, each located in Wilmington, Delaware, over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(b) Each of the Parties hereby consents to process being served by any Party in any suit, action or proceeding by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6.

(c) TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT HE OR IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER, RELATED TO, BASED ON OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 8.3 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

8.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules and any exhibits hereto), the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company Documents, the Purchaser Documents and the Seller Documents represent the entire understanding and agreement by and among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by Purchaser, Sellers, and the Seller Representative. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Furthermore, the Parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations; all Parties specifically acknowledge that no Party has any special relationship with another Party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction.

8.5 Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement and the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules hereto, and all claims or disputes arising hereunder or thereunder in connection herewith or therewith, whether purporting to sound in contract or tort, or at law or in equity, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

8.6 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) when sent by email (with written confirmation of transmission) if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice pursuant to clause (iii), or (iii) one Business Day following the day sent by commercial overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following postal addresses and email addresses (or to such other postal address or email address as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

8.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

8.8 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person not a Party except that the D&O Indemnified Persons, Equityholder Parties and Locke Lord LLP shall have the rights expressly provided to them in this Agreement. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any Party, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other Parties and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any Subsidiary of Purchaser, or to any lender to Purchaser

62

or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof as security for obligations to such lender in respect of the financing arrangements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and any refinancings, extensions, refundings or renewals thereof, provided that no assignment to any such Subsidiary or lender will in any way affect Purchaser’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, and (b) Sellers may assign this Agreement to any of their beneficial owners or successors by operation of law. No assignment or delegation of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the Parties of any such obligations. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to such Party shall also apply to its assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

8.9 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person.

8.10 No Recourse or Personal Liability. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser agrees and acknowledges, both for itself and its Affiliates, that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any of the Equityholder Parties, whether in their capacity as such or otherwise, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of the Equityholder Parties, whether in their capacity as such or otherwise, for any obligation of the Company or Sellers under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Nothing in this Section 8.10 will limit in any way any of the obligations of, or any Person’s recourse against, Sellers as expressly provided in this Agreement or any Seller Document.

8.11 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that one of the Parties does not perform its obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

63

8.12 Retention of Counsel. In any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement, Sellers and the Seller Representative shall have the right, at their election, to retain Locke Lord LLP to represent them in such matter, even if such representation shall be adverse to Purchaser and/or the Company. Purchaser and the Company, for themselves and for their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably consent to any such representation in any such matter. Purchaser and the Company, for themselves and for their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably waive any actual or potential conflict arising from any such representation in the event of: (1) any adversity between the interests of Sellers and the Seller Representative on the one hand and Purchaser and the Company on the other hand, in any such matter; and/or (2) any communication between Locke Lord LLP and the Company, its Affiliates or employees, whether privileged or not, or any other information known to such counsel, by reason of such counsel’s representation of the Company prior to Closing.

8.13 Protected Communication. The Parties agree that, immediately prior to the Closing, without the need for any further action (a) all right, title and interest of the Company in and to all Protected Communications shall thereupon transfer to and be vested solely in Sellers, the Seller Representative and their successors in interest, and (b) any and all protections from disclosure, including, but not limited to, attorney-client privilege and work product protections, associated with or arising from any Protected Communications that would have been exercisable by the Company shall thereupon be vested exclusively in Sellers, the Seller Representative and their successors in interest and shall be exercised or waived solely as directed Sellers, the Seller Representative or their successors in interest. None of the Company, Purchaser or any Person acting on any of their behalf shall, without the prior written consent of Sellers, the Seller Representative or their successors in interest, assert or waive or attempt to assert or waive any such protection against disclosure, including the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, or to discover, obtain, use or disclose or attempt to discover, obtain, use or disclose any Protected Communications in any manner, including in connection with any dispute or legal proceeding relating to or in connection with this Agreement, the events and negotiations leading to this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated herein, provided, however, the foregoing shall neither prohibit Purchaser from seeking proper discovery of such documents nor Sellers or the Seller Representative or their successors in interest from asserting that such documents are not discoverable to the extent that applicable attorney-client privileges and work product protections have attached thereto.

8.14 No Waiver of Privilege, Protection from Disclosure or Use. The Parties understand and agree that nothing in this Agreement, including the foregoing provisions regarding the assertions of protection from disclosure and use, privilege and conflicts of interest, shall be deemed to be a waiver of any applicable attorney-client privilege or other protection from disclosure or use. Each of the Parties understands and agrees that he or it has undertaken reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of Protected Communications. Notwithstanding those efforts, the Parties understand and agree that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement could result in the inadvertent disclosure of information that may be confidential, eligible to be subject to a claim of privilege, or otherwise protected from disclosure. The Parties further understand and agree that any disclosure of information that may be confidential, subject to a claim of privilege, or otherwise protected from disclosure will not constitute a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any claim of confidentiality, privilege, or protection from disclosure, including with respect to information involving or concerning the same subject matter as the disclosed information. The Parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to return any inadvertently disclosed

64

information to the disclosing party promptly upon becoming aware of its existence. The Parties further agree that promptly after the return of any inadvertently disclosed information, the Party returning such information shall destroy any and all copies, summaries, descriptions and/or notes of such inadvertently disclosed information, including electronic versions thereof, and all portions of larger documents or communications that contain such copies, summaries, descriptions or notes.

8.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile or PDF file, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

8.16 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

8.17 Conflict Between Transaction Documents. The Parties agree and acknowledge that to the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby, this Agreement will govern and control.

8.18 Deliveries to Purchaser. Any document or item will be deemed “delivered”, “provided” or “made available” to Purchaser within the meaning of this Agreement if such document or item (i) was included in the electronic data room maintained by or on behalf of Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date hereof and maintained therein for not less than two (2) Business Days or (ii) actually delivered or provided to Purchaser or any of its representatives at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date hereof.

8.19 Prevailing Party. In the event Legal Proceeding is commenced or threatened by any Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement against any other Party, all fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by the prevailing Party in such Legal Proceeding will be reimbursed by the non-prevailing Party; provided, that if any Party prevails in part, and loses in part, in such Legal Proceeding, the court, arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such Legal Proceeding will award a reimbursement of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the parties in such Legal Proceeding on an equitable basis.

8.20 Appointment of Seller Representative. Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Michael Shuman as the Seller Representative effective from and after the date of this Agreement, as his, her or its sole and exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact for each such Party, for and on behalf of such Party, with full power and authority to represent each Party and its successors and assigns, with full power of substitution in the premises, with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement and any other agreement to which such Seller is a party, and to defend or resolve any dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any such other agreement, and to amend or waive the performance by Purchaser of any provision of this Agreement or any such other agreement, and to receive all sums payable to such Party, and all actions taken by the Seller Representative under this Agreement or such other agreements will be binding upon such Seller and such Seller’s successors and assigns as if expressly ratified and confirmed in writing by such

65

Seller. The authority conferred under this Agreement will be an agency coupled with an interest, and all authority conferred hereby is irrevocable and not subject to termination by any of the aforementioned parties, or by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity or change of control of a Seller, or the termination of a Seller that is a trust or estate, or the occurrence of any other event. If a Seller should die or become incapacitated, a Seller that is a trust or estate should terminate, or if any other such event should occur, any action taken by the Seller Representative with respect to the Party in question will be as valid as if such death or incapacity, termination or other event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not the Seller Representative had received notice of such death, incapacity, termination or other event. Each of the Sellers will be deemed a party or a signatory to any agreement, document, instrument or certificate that the Seller Representative signs in its capacity as the Seller Representative. In performing any of his duties under this Agreement or any other agreement or in the event of any alleged failure to perform his duties under this Agreement or any other agreement, the Seller Representative will not be liable to Sellers for any liabilities that a Seller may incur as a result of any act, or failure to act, by the Seller Representative under this Agreement or any other agreement, and the Seller Representative will be indemnified and held harmless by each of the Sellers for such liabilities; provided, however, that the Seller Representative will not be entitled to indemnification for liabilities to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction has finally determined that the actions or omissions of the Seller Representative both (i) were taken or omitted not in good faith and (ii) constituted willful default under this Agreement or such other agreement. A decision, act, instruction or Consent of the Seller Representative constitutes a decision, act, instruction or Consent of all Sellers and is final, binding and conclusive upon Sellers, and the Purchaser may rely upon any such decision, act, instruction or Consent of the Seller Representative as being the decision, act, instruction or Consent of Sellers. The Purchaser is hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done or omissions by the Purchaser in accordance with such decision, act, instruction or Consent of the Seller Representative. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser is entitled to rely, without inquiry, upon any document delivered by the Seller Representative as being genuine and correct and having been duly signed or sent by the Seller Representative.
