The Closing shall be deemed effective as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”). The parties agree that the Closing may take place by exchange of appropriate documentation among the parties via overnight delivery, electronic transmission and other similar means of exchanging documentation, and the parties will not be required to be in attendance at the same location on the Closing Date.

Section 2.6Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Company shall in good faith prepare and deliver to Buyer a written estimate of the amount of (i) the Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”), including any Estimated Net Working Capital Deficit or Estimated Net Working Capital Surplus, (ii) the Closing Cash Amount (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”), (iii) the Closing Loan Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Loan Indebtedness”), (iv) the Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses”), and (v) the Estimated Purchase Price, each calculated as of the Effective Time, together with an estimated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies, on a consolidated basis, as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”, and together with the items set forth in clauses (i) through (v), the “Estimated Closing Statement”). The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Company’s Accounting Principles and consistent with Exhibit C, provided that in the event of any conflict between the Company’s Accounting Principles and Exhibit C, the Company’s Accounting Principles shall govern. At such time, the Company shall also deliver a draft of the Funds Flow Statement. As promptly as practicable but not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing, Buyer shall identify any adjustments that it believes are required to the Estimated Closing Statement. If Shareholder Representative disputes any such adjustments, then Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute, after which the Company shall re-deliver to Buyer the Estimated Closing Statement and Funds Flow Statement with such adjustments as the parties have agreed are appropriate. Buyer shall be entitled to rely in full on the information provided by the Company in the Estimated Closing Statement and Funds Flow Statement. The Initial Purchase Price minus the Estimated Net Working Capital Deficit (if any), plus the Estimated Net Working Capital Surplus (if any), plus the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, minus the Estimated Closing Loan Indebtedness, minus the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses shall be the “Estimated Purchase Price.” Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Estimated Closing Statement, the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and in turn the calculation of the amounts set forth therein shall not reflect any liabilities or assets related to actions taken on the Closing Date by Buyer or its Affiliates, including in connection with any financing or transfer of cash into the Acquired Companies.

(b)As soon as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall in good faith prepare and deliver to Shareholder Representative a written statement with a calculation, as of the Effective Time, of (i) the Net Working Capital (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), including the amount of Net Working Capital Surplus or Net Working Capital Deficit, if any, (ii) the Cash (the “Closing Cash Amount”), (iii) the Loan Indebtedness (the “Closing Loan Indebtedness”), (iv) the Transaction Expenses (the “Closing Transaction Expenses”), and (v) the Final Purchase Price, together with the balance sheet of the Acquired Companies, on a consolidated basis, as of the Effective Time, and reasonable supporting documentation for the forgoing calculations and material differences between the Estimated Closing Statement and the Closing Statement (such statement including items in clauses (i) through (v) and such balance sheet, the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with Company’s Accounting Principles and consistent with Exhibit C, provided that in the event of any conflict between the Company’s Accounting Principles and Exhibit C, the Company’s Accounting Principles shall govern.

(c)During the review periods provided pursuant to Section 2.6(d) and Section 2.6(e) and the Resolution Period, Buyer shall (i) provide Shareholder Representative and Shareholder Representative’s authorized representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of the Acquired Companies to the extent reasonably requested by Shareholder Representative or his authorized representatives to review the amounts and calculations in the Closing Statement, and (ii) reasonably and timely cooperate with Shareholder Representative’s and his authorized representatives’ reasonable requests with respect to the amounts and calculations included in the Closing Statement.

(d)After Buyer delivers the Closing Statement required by Section 2.6(b) to Shareholder Representative, Shareholder Representative shall have sixty (60) days to review such statement and supporting materials. Buyer shall cooperate with Shareholder Representative and its authorized representatives to the extent reasonably required to complete Shareholder Representative’s and its authorized representatives’ review of the Closing Statement. Unless Shareholder Representative delivers written notice to Buyer on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day after Shareholder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement, specifying in reasonable detail the amount, nature and basis of all disputed items, Shareholder Representative shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement and the proposed Final Purchase Price. If Shareholder Representative timely notifies Buyer of its objection to any calculation included in the Closing Statement, Shareholder Representative and Buyer shall, within sixty (60) days (or such longer period as the parties may agree in writing) following such notice (“Resolution Period”), attempt to resolve their differences and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(e)If, at the conclusion of the Resolution Period, there are any amounts remaining in dispute with respect to the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement, then such amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted to KPMG, or, if such firm is unable to serve in such capacity, to a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants selected by Shareholder Representative and Buyer within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Resolution Period (the firm selected pursuant to this Section 2.6(e), the “Neutral Auditors”). If KPMG

cannot serve as Neutral Auditors and Shareholder Representative and Buyer are unable to agree on the Neutral Auditors, then each of Shareholder Representative, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall have the right to request the office of the American Arbitration Association to appoint the Neutral Auditors, which Neutral Auditors shall not have had a material relationship with Shareholder Representative, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates within the past two (2) years. Each party agrees to execute, if requested by the Neutral Auditors, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Auditors shall be borne as between the Shareholders, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, in proportion to the allocation of the dollar amount of the amounts remaining in dispute between Shareholder Representative and Buyer made by the Neutral Auditors such that the prevailing party pays the lesser proportion of the fees and expenses. For example, if Shareholder Representative claims the Final Purchase Price is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Buyer, and if the Neutral Auditors ultimately resolve the dispute by awarding the Shareholders $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Neutral Auditors will be allocated 30% (i.e., 300 ÷ 1,000) to Buyer and 70% (i.e., 700 ÷ 1,000) to the Shareholders. The Neutral Auditors shall act as arbitrators to determine, based solely on the provisions of this Section 2.6 and the presentations by Shareholder Representative and Buyer, and not by independent review, only those issues still in dispute. The Neutral Auditors’ determination shall be made within thirty (30) days of their selection, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Shareholder Representative and Buyer and shall be deemed a final, binding and conclusive arbitration award. A judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the Neutral Auditors’ determination. The terms “Final Closing Net Working Capital”, “Final Closing Cash Amount”, “Final Closing Loan Indebtedness”, and “Final Closing Transaction Expenses” shall mean the definitive Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash Amount, Closing Loan Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses agreed to (or deemed to be agreed to) by Buyer and Shareholder Representative in accordance with Section 2.6(d) or resulting from the determinations made by the Neutral Auditors in accordance with this Section 2.6(e) (in addition to those items agreed to by Shareholder Representative and Buyer prior thereto).

(f)The “Final Purchase Price” shall equal the Initial Purchase Price minus the Net Working Capital Deficit (if any), plus the Net Working Capital Surplus (if any), plus the Final Closing Cash Amount, minus the Final Closing Loan Indebtedness, minus the Final Closing Transaction Expenses.

(i)If the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, within five (5) Business Days after the Final Purchase Price is agreed to by Buyer and Shareholder Representative or any remaining disputed items are ultimately determined by the Neutral Auditors, (A) Buyer will pay to the Escrow and Paying Agent for further distribution to the Shareholder Representative (on behalf of the Escrow Participating Shareholders) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Shareholder Representative an amount equal to such excess and (B) Buyer and Shareholder Representative will arrange for the release of the entire Adjustment Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to Shareholder Representative (on behalf of the Escrow Participating Shareholders), whereupon, as soon as practicable following the receipt by Shareholder Representative of the

funds referenced in (A) and (B), Shareholder Representative will distribute such funds to the Escrow Participating Shareholders in accordance with each Escrow Participating Shareholder’s Pro Rata Escrow Portion;

(ii)If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price (such deficit, a “Downward Adjustment”), within five (5) Business Days after the Final Purchase Price is agreed to by Buyer and Shareholder Representative or any remaining disputed items are ultimately determined by the Neutral Auditors, (A) if the Downward Adjustment is less than the Adjustment Escrow Fund, (I) Buyer and Shareholder Representative will arrange for the release of the Downward Adjustment from the Adjustment Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to Buyer and (II) Buyer and Shareholder Representative will arrange for the release of the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Fund after giving effect to the distribution contemplated by the foregoing clause (I) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to Shareholder Representative (on behalf of the Escrow Participating Shareholders), whereupon, as soon as practicable following the receipt by Shareholder Representative of such funds, Shareholder Representative will distribute such funds to the Escrow Participating Shareholders in accordance with each Escrow Participating Shareholder’s Pro Rata Escrow Portion, (B) if the Downward Adjustment is equal to the Adjustment Escrow Fund, Buyer and Shareholder Representative will arrange for the release of the Downward Adjustment from the Adjustment Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to Buyer or (C) if the Downward Adjustment is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Fund, (I) Buyer and Shareholder Representative will arrange for the release of the entire Adjustment Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to Buyer and (II) in Buyer’s sole discretion, (x) Buyer and Shareholder Representative will arrange to release any remaining amount of the Downward Adjustment not satisfied by operation of clause (I) from the Indemnification Escrow Fund to Buyer in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and/or (y) the Escrow Participating Shareholders shall, on a joint and several basis, pay any remaining amount of the Downward Adjustment not satisfied by operation of clause (I) (and, if applicable, clause (II)(x)), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer in writing; or

(iii)If the Final Purchase Price is equal to the Estimated Purchase Price, Buyer and Shareholder Representative will arrange for the release of the entire Adjustment Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to Shareholder Representative (on behalf of the Escrow Participating Shareholders), whereupon, as soon as practicable following the receipt by Shareholder Representative of such funds, Shareholder Representative will distribute such funds to the Escrow Participating Shareholders in accordance with each Escrow Participating Shareholder’s Pro Rata Escrow Portion.

Any portion of any matter taken into account, to the extent such matter or portion thereof is taken into account, in the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price or the Final Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall not also be claimed as a Loss pursuant to ARTICLE IX.

Section 2.7Shareholder Representative Expense Amount. At the Closing, Buyer will deposit a portion of the Estimated Purchase Price equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the “Shareholder Representative Expense Amount”) by wire transfer of

immediately available funds into the account specified in the Funds Flow Statement (the “Shareholder Representative Expense Account”) for the purpose of funding any expenses and fees of Shareholder Representative arising in connection with the administration of Shareholder Representative’s duties under this Agreement. Shareholder Representative will not use the Shareholder Representative Expense Amount for any purposes other than as provided in this Agreement. As soon as practicable following the completion of Shareholder Representative’s duties, Shareholder Representative will distribute the balance of the then-remaining funds in the Shareholder Representative Expense Account to the Escrow Participating Shareholders in accordance with each Escrow Participating Shareholder’s Pro Rata Escrow Portion. For Tax purposes, the Shareholder Representative Expense Amount will be treated as having been received by the Escrow Participating Shareholders and voluntarily set aside by the Escrow Participating Shareholders at the time of the Closing.

Section 2.8Withholding. Buyer, the Escrow and Paying Agent or any of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other provision of applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Buyer, the Escrow and Paying Agent, or any of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, such withheld amounts (a) shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such amounts were withheld. Buyer shall provide written notice to the Shareholder Representative at least three (3) days prior to the date that any such amount is anticipated to be deducted or withheld from any payment payable hereunder and shall reasonably cooperate with the Shareholder Representative to establish any available exemptions from such deduction or withholding.

Each of the Escrow Participating Shareholders, jointly and severally, and the Company hereby represent and warrant to Buyer as follows:

Section 3.10Intellectual Property.

(a)Schedule 3.10(a) sets forth a complete and accurate list of all the following that are owned by any Acquired Company: (1) registered Intellectual Property and other applications for registration of Intellectual Property (“Company Registered IP”); (2) all material service marks and domain names; (3) all material Software (other than commercially-available, off-the-shelf Software) ((1) through (3) collectively, the “Company-Owned IP”); and (4) all licenses or similar agreements or arrangements to which any Acquired Company is a licensee or licensor of Intellectual Property (excluding licenses for commercially-available, off-the-shelf Software with one-time or annual fees of $10,000 or less, and excluding non-exclusive licenses issued in the Ordinary Course the principal purpose of which was not the license of Intellectual Property) (“IP Licenses”). Schedule 3.10(a) also lists any deadlines related to (X) registration, maintenance or renewal fees, or (Y) the filing of any documents, applications or certificates (including responses to office actions), in each case, that are required within ninety (90) days of the date hereof to maintain any of the Company Registered IP. No registration relating to the Company Registered IP is the subject of any inter-partes proceeding, opposition, cancellation, or other similar Actions. The Company Registered IP is valid and subsisting, and each was duly registered in, filed in or issued by the official governmental registers and/or issuers (or officially recognized registers or issuers) for such Intellectual Property. Each such registration, filing, issuance and/or application (i) has not been abandoned or cancelled, (ii) has been maintained effective by all requisite filings, renewals and payments, and (iii) remains in full force and effect. To Company’s Knowledge, no Acquired Company has misrepresented or failed to disclose, and there has been no misrepresentation of, any fact or circumstances in any application or registration for any Company Registered IP that would constitute fraud or a misrepresentation with respect to the application or registration or that would otherwise, as a matter of law, cause any Company Registered IP to be rendered unenforceable.

(b)Except as set forth in Schedule 3.10(b)(i), the Acquired Companies are the owners of, or have rights to use, all of the Intellectual Property used in or otherwise necessary for the conduct of the Business as currently conducted (the “Company IP”). The Acquired Companies own, with the unrestricted right to use, modify, improve, make derivative works, sell, license, transfer or assign, the Company-Owned IP free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens). Except for the licenses, sublicenses, and other agreements disclosed in Schedule 3.10(b)(ii), there are no agreements under which any Acquired Company has granted rights to others in any Company IP (other than customer agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business). The Company IP constitutes all Intellectual Property necessary and sufficient for the conduct of the Acquired Companies’ business in the same manner as conducted by the Acquired Companies during the eighteen (18) months prior to Closing. True, correct and complete copies of each IP License have been made available to Buyer.

(c)Except as set forth in Schedule 3.10(c), (1) the Acquired Companies have not received any written notices of, and the Company has no Knowledge of any facts which indicate a reasonable likelihood of, any infringement or misappropriation by, or conflict with, any third party with respect to any Intellectual Property rights (including any demand or request that any Acquired Company license any rights from a third party), (2) there are no actions, claims or proceedings pending, or to the Company’s Knowledge threatened in writing, against any Acquired Company asserting the invalidity, misuse or unenforceability of any of the Intellectual Property owned by any Acquired Company, (3) the conduct of the Business as currently conducted does not infringe upon or misappropriate the Intellectual Property rights of any third party and has not infringed upon or misappropriated the Intellectual Property rights of any third party, (4) to the Company’s Knowledge, there is no infringement of any of Company-Owned IP by any third party, and (5) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not have an adverse effect on any Acquired Company’s right, title or interest in and to the Company IP and all such Company IP shall be owned or available for use by the Acquired Companies on identical terms and conditions immediately following the Closing.

(d)No Company IP is subject to any outstanding order, decree, judgement, consent or settlement restricting the ownership or disposition thereof by the Acquired Companies. Neither the Acquired Companies, nor to Company’s Knowledge, any other party thereto, is in material breach or default of the IP Licenses, in any respect, nor to Company’s Knowledge has any event occurred that with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a material default thereunder. Other than the terms of the applicable IP License, there are no restrictions on the use of in-licensed Intellectual Property rights used by the Acquired Companies. The Acquired Companies have all rights necessary to grant the licenses granted by the Acquired Companies in the IP Licenses.

(e)The Acquired Companies have taken commercially reasonable measures to establish and preserve the confidentiality, secrecy and ownership of all Company-Owned IP that constitutes confidential information or trade secret information, as well as the confidential information and trade secrets of customers, licensors and vendors, and have preserved the confidential and/or trade secret status thereof. The Acquired Companies have protected trade secrets and source code for any Company-owned Software and in-licensed Software from unauthorized use or disclosure, and have maintained the trade secrets and such Software and source code in confidence so as to preserve their status as trade secrets or proprietary source code. There has been no violation of the confidentiality of any non-public confidential information or trade secrets owned by the Acquired Companies or otherwise held for use by the Acquired Companies. The Acquired Companies are not making and do not have current plans that make unlawful use of any confidential information or trade secrets of any third party. To Company’s Knowledge, none of the employees, consultants, or independent contractors of the Acquired Companies have any agreements or arrangements with any former employers relating to confidential information or trade secrets of such employers that would interfere with the activities of the Company. To Company’s Knowledge, none of the activities of the employees, consultants, or independent contractors of the Acquired Companies violate any agreements or arrangements which such persons have with former employers or any other third party, including any non-competition, non-solicitation and/or confidentiality agreements. The Acquired

Companies have not received any written or, to the Company’s Knowledge, oral notice that any current or former employee is in violation or breach of any confidentiality agreement and/or agreement not to compete.

All Company-Owned IP developed by current and former employees and contractors of the Acquired Companies has either (i) been assigned to the Acquired Companies pursuant to a valid written agreement, or (ii) fully vested in the Acquired Companies as a “work made for hire” under applicable copyright Law.

(b)Buyer and its Affiliates will not amend, waive or otherwise modify the R&W Insurance Policies in any manner that would allow the insurer thereunder to subrogate or

otherwise make or bring any action or proceedings against any Shareholder or any Affiliate of any Shareholder or any past, present or future officer, director, employee or advisor of any of the foregoing based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, except in the case of Fraud.

Section 6.9Tax Matters.

(a)Shareholder Representative will prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, all Returns for the Acquired Companies for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date the due date of which (taking into account extensions of time to file) is after the Closing Date but only if not filed prior to the Closing (the “Shareholder Prepared Returns”). All such Shareholder Prepared Returns will be prepared in a manner consistent with the past custom and practice of the Acquired Companies, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Shareholder Representative shall submit each Shareholder Prepared Return prepared for a Pre-Closing Tax Period to Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Return. If Buyer objects to any item on any Shareholder Prepared Return, Buyer shall notify Shareholder Representative in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item (including how such item could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Buyer’s Tax liability) and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection is duly delivered, Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such items. Any amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted to the Neutral Auditors in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6(e), mutatis mutandis (including, the allocation of responsibility for the fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditors). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in all events, Shareholder Representative shall file or cause to be filed all Shareholder Prepared Returns when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) and timely pay all Taxes that are shown as payable with respect to any Shareholder Prepared Returns, except to the extent the amount of any such Taxes was included in the calculation of Loan Indebtedness or Net Working Capital, as finally determined, and, if such Return is sent to the Neutral Auditors and changes are required as a result thereof, Shareholder Representative shall thereafter file an amended Return as required by the Code or any other relevant Tax Law and timely pay any all Taxes that are shown as payable (or be entitled to any refund payable in connection therewith as contemplated by Section 6.9(h)) with respect to such amended Shareholder Prepared Returns.

(b)Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, all Returns for the Acquired Companies other than Shareholder Prepared Returns that are due after the Closing Date (the “Buyer Prepared Returns”). All such Buyer Prepared Returns related to a Straddle Period will be prepared in a manner consistent with the past custom and practice of the Acquired Companies, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Buyer shall submit each Buyer Prepared Return prepared for a Straddle Period to Shareholder Representative at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Return. If Shareholder Representative objects to any item on any such Buyer Prepared Return, Shareholder Representative shall notify Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item (including how such item could reasonably be expected to result in a

material adverse effect on the Shareholders’ Tax liability) and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection is duly delivered, Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such items. Any amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted to the Neutral Auditors in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6(e), mutatis mutandis (including, the allocation of responsibility for the fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditors). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in all events, Buyer shall file or cause to be filed all Buyer Prepared Returns when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained), and, if such Return is sent to the Neutral Auditors and changes are required as a result thereof, Buyer shall thereafter file an amended Return as required by the Code or any other relevant Tax Law. Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, shall pay to Buyer any Taxes shown on any Buyer Prepared Return that are properly allocable to the Shareholders in a manner consistent with Section 6.9(j) no later than five (5) Business Days before the due date (including extensions) of such Return, except to the extent the amount of any such Taxes was included in the calculation of Loan Indebtedness or Net Working Capital, as finally determined or was otherwise paid to or deposited with the applicable Taxing Authority as of the Closing.

(c)The Acquired Companies will elect with the relevant Taxing Authority to treat for all purposes the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period of the Acquired Companies. The parties agree that Buyer and its Affiliates and the Acquired Companies will neither (i) make an election under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D) to ratably allocate items (or make any similar election or ratably allocate items under any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign law) nor (ii) apply the “next day” rule of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) with respect to any of the Transaction Tax Deductions.

(d)With respect to the preparation of Returns, Buyer and Shareholders agree that all Transaction Tax Deductions will be treated as properly allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent permitted under applicable Law as determined in good faith by the Shareholder Representative. Shareholder Representative will include all Transaction Tax Deductions in the Returns of the Acquired Companies for the Pre-Closing Tax Period for U.S. federal income (and applicable state and local income) Tax purposes and will request a refund (rather than a credit against future Taxes) with respect to any overpayment for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Buyer will, and will cause its Affiliates to provide Shareholder Representative with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of any Return, or any audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority, or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to any Acquired Company. Company shall execute any power of attorney or other authorization in favor of Shareholder Representative that is requested by Shareholder Representative in connection with any audit or similar governmental review related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, and shall retain in its possession, and shall provide Shareholder Representative reasonable access on a timely basis to (including the right to make copies of), such supporting books and records and any other materials that Shareholder Representative may reasonably specify in writing with respect to matters relating to Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Buyer shall cooperate and assist Shareholder Representative, and will take any actions required to ensure that the Acquired Companies promptly (and in every case prior to the expiration of any applicable deadline or limitation period) respond to any such

request for information (including requests for information set forth in any information document request or similar request by any Taxing Authority) in a manner that preserves all available appeal rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall not be required to provide the Shareholders or Shareholder Representative with a complete copy of any Return of Buyer or any Return filed on an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or other group basis with any Person that is not an Acquired Company (however, for the avoidance of doubt, relevant pro-forma Returns of the Acquired Companies shall be provided to Shareholder Representative if reasonably requested by Shareholder Representative in connection with a Tax Contest).

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all sales, use, stamp, registration, value added, goods and services and other substantially similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods, shall be borne (i) fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and (ii) fifty percent (50%) by the Shareholders.

(f)Buyer will not make any election under Code Section 338 or Section 336 (or any similar provisions under state, local, or foreign law) with respect to the acquisition of the Acquired Companies.

(g)(i)    Following the date of this Agreement, Shareholder Representative will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Companies to enter into any Voluntary Disclosure Agreement with respect to state and local income, franchise, margins, gross receipts, commercial activity and similar state and local Taxes (“State Income Taxes”), in each case, only for those states listed on Schedule 6.9(g) and only with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods. In connection with each such Voluntary Disclosure Agreement, Shareholder Representative may file State and Local Income Tax Returns in such jurisdictions, and make such other filings required by the fully executed Voluntary Disclosure Agreement. A related revenue ruling, private letter ruling or other ruling may be sought with a Taxing Authority in such jurisdictions, provided any such ruling is initiated prior to the Closing. Following the Closing, Shareholder Representative shall retain control of any such Voluntary Disclosure Agreement filed or initiated prior to Closing by Shareholder Representative or the Acquired Companies, including any Tax Contest for a Pre-Closing Tax Period related thereto. A Voluntary Disclosure Agreement shall be considered initiated prior to the Closing if, prior to the Closing, there has been (A) written correspondence between an authorized representative of the Shareholder Representative or the Acquired Companies and a Taxing Authority, which correspondence can be made on an anonymous basis, setting forth the Company’s business activities in the state, the nature of liability, and all other relevant facts required to be received by the Taxing Authority, in order to constitute a valid submission by an Acquired Company pursuant to which such Acquired Company shall have voluntarily disclosed and offered to pay to such Taxing Authority any State Income Taxes owed to such Taxing Authority, or (B) the submission of information through a Taxing Authority’s website that actually initiates a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement process with a Taxing Authority under applicable Law. After the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to reasonably cooperate with Shareholder Representative with respect to the matters referred to in the prior sentence. “Funded State and Local Tax Liability Amount” shall mean the aggregate amount of State

and Local Tax Liabilities incurred pursuant to this Section 6.9(g)(i) with respect to a state set forth on Schedule 6.9(g) that is paid by Shareholder Representative or an Acquired Company prior to the Closing.

(ii)If as of the Closing, Shareholder Representative has not caused the Acquired Companies to initiate a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement with respect to a state listed on Schedule 6.9(g), then Buyer shall be permitted to cause the Acquired Companies to file Returns for State Income Taxes, enter into any Voluntary Disclosure Agreement with respect thereto, and make such other filings, including requesting any revenue ruling, private letter ruling or other ruling, with a Taxing Authority, in each case, for such state, in each case, with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Following the Closing, Buyer shall control any such Voluntary Disclosure Agreement that is filed or initiated by Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.9(g)(ii), including any Tax Contest related thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Post-Closing Tax Period, Buyer shall be permitted to, or to cause the Acquired Companies to file a Return in any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction where the Buyer determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that such Return is required to be filed under applicable Law.

(iii)The party controlling the filing of the Return, Voluntary Disclosure Agreement or other filing (i.e., Shareholder Representative under Section 6.9(g)(i) or Buyer under Section 6.9(g)(ii), the “Controlling Party”) shall submit each Return, Voluntary Disclosure Agreement or other filing described in the applicable Section to the non-Controlling Party (Buyer under Section 6.9(g)(i), or Shareholder Representative under Section 6.9(g)(ii)) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing of such Return, Voluntary Disclosure Agreement or other filing. If the non-Controlling Party objects to any item on any such Return, the non-Controlling Party shall notify the Controlling Party in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item (including, in the case of Shareholder Representative as the non-Controlling Party, how such item could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Shareholders’ Tax liability) and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection is duly delivered, Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such items. Any amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted to the Neutral Auditors in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6(e), mutatis mutandis (including, the allocation of responsibility for the fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditors). The Controlling Party (A) shall keep the non-Controlling Party reasonably informed and consult in good faith with the non-Controlling Party with respect to the negotiation of and any issue relating to a Voluntary Disclosure Agreements, and (B) shall provide the non-Controlling Party with a copy of, and an opportunity to review and comment on, all submissions made to or correspondence received from a Taxing Authority in connection with such Voluntary Disclosure Agreement.

(iv)Except as provided in this Section 6.9, following the Closing, Buyer will not cause or permit the Acquired Companies or any of their Affiliates to (i) file or amend or otherwise modify any Return that relates in whole or in part to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) make or change any Tax election or Tax accounting methods for, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) voluntarily approach or contact any Taxing

Authority with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iv) extend or waive the statute of limitations with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent such actions would reasonably be expected to increase the liability of any Shareholder under this Agreement.

(v)In the event a Return of an Acquired Company is filed after the Closing that relates in whole or in part to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and such Return reports income or other determinative of Tax that was reported in another Return of an Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, if requested in writing by the Shareholder Representative, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, cooperate in the preparation and filing of an amendment to such other Return to reflect the allocation of income or other determinative of Tax and to pursue a Tax refund thereunder.

(vi)The provisions of this Section 6.9(g), rather than those of Section 6.9(i), Section 9.4(a) and Section 9.4(b), shall apply with respect to any Voluntary Disclosure Agreements or Tax Contests related to State Income Taxes.

(h)The Shareholders will be entitled to any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer, any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer, any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates become entitled in any Post-Closing Tax Period to the extent not applied to reduce any Acquired Company’s Tax liability in any Pre-Closing Tax Period, that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of an Acquired Company. Buyer will, or will cause such Acquired Company or Affiliate to pay over to Shareholder Representative (for the benefit of the Shareholders) any such refund or amount of any such credit less the amount of any expenses incurred by the Buyer, any Acquired Company, or any of their respective Affiliates in obtaining such refund or credit and the amount of any Taxes incurred (or that will be incurred) by the Buyer, any Acquired Company, or any of their respective Affiliates with respect thereto within ten (10) days after actual receipt of such refund by or credit against Taxes of Buyer, an Acquired Company or any such Affiliate. Shareholder Representative and Buyer will cause the Acquired Companies to request a refund (rather than a credit in lieu of refund) with respect to all Pre-Closing Tax Periods. In the event any previously referenced refund or credit is disallowed by an applicable Taxing Authority, Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, shall promptly reimburse the Buyer for the amount of such disallowed refund or credit.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholders shall not be entitled to any payment or other compensation for any reduction in Taxes payable with respect to any Post-Closing Tax Period that is attributable to the carry-forward and application of any losses, deductions, credits or other Tax attributes from a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(i)Buyer shall promptly notify Shareholder Representative in writing upon receipt by Buyer or an Acquired Company of written notice of any audit or proposed assessment by a Taxing Authority for Taxes of an Acquired Company (“Tax Contest”) with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Such notification by Buyer shall include a copy of the notice or other document received from such Taxing Authority. Following the Closing, except as set forth in Section 6.9(g), Shareholder Representative (at the Shareholders’ expense) shall control the

conduct of any such Tax Contest, provided that, if Buyer so requests in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, Buyer shall have the right to participate in (at its own expense) the conduct of the Tax Contest to the extent such matter relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Periods. If Buyer so requests, Shareholder Representative (i) shall keep Buyer reasonably informed and consult in good faith with Buyer with respect to any issue relating to such Tax Contest, (ii) shall provide Buyer with a copy of, and an opportunity to review and comment on, all submissions made to a Taxing Authority in connection with such Tax Contest and (iii) Shareholder Representative shall not settle any such Tax Contest without Buyers’ written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The provisions of this Section 6.9(i), rather than those of Section 9.4(a) and Section 9.4(b), shall apply with respect to any Tax Contests.

(j)In the case of Taxes with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date shall be:

(i)in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (B) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible) (other than conveyances pursuant to this Agreement, as provided under Section 6.9(e)), deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable period ended on and including the Closing Date; and

(ii)in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, including ad valorem property taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

(k)All Tax sharing, Tax allocation, Tax indemnification and similar agreements, Contracts and arrangements (other than any commercial Contract or agreement, including commercial Contracts or agreements with customers, vendors, lenders, lessors or the like, entered into in the Ordinary Course, the principal purpose of which is not Taxes) with respect to or involving any Acquired Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, no Acquired Company shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

Section 6.10Public Announcements. On and after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, none of the parties shall issue any press release or make any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent disclosure may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement of any party (or any Affiliate of Buyer), or for financial reporting purposes, provided that the disclosing party shall advise the other(s) prior to issuing any such press release or making any public statement and the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable press release or announcement to be issued. Following the Closing, the parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the parties shall issue any press release or

make any public statement prior to obtaining the other party’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that no such approval shall be necessary to the extent disclosure may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement of any party (or any Affiliate of Buyer) or for financial reporting purposes, provided that the disclosing party shall advise the other(s) prior to issuing any such press release and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable press release or announcement to be issued.

Section 6.11Financing Cooperation.

(a)Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause appropriate senior management of the Acquired Companies to, provide Buyer such reasonable cooperation as is necessary, customary or advisable and reasonably requested by Buyer to assist Buyer, in each case at Buyer’s sole expense, in connection with the obtaining of and consummation of any Debt Financing, including using its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) upon reasonable notice, participate in a reasonable number of lender meetings, due diligence presentations and sessions with rating agencies, in each case solely with respect to information regarding the Acquired Companies, in each case as reasonably requested by Buyer and reasonably required in connection with the obtaining of Debt Financing at Closing and in each case on a telephonic or other remote basis, (ii) assist Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources in benefitting from the existing lending relationships of the Acquired Companies, (iii) furnish Buyer with (1) the Financial Statements and (2) such other pertinent and customary financial and other information and disclosures (including financial information and data derived from the historical books and records of the Acquired Companies) regarding the Acquired Companies that is (x) required to permit Buyer to prepare relevant pro forma financial statements or (y) customary and necessary to permit the consummation of debt financings similar to the Debt Financing, including all information relating to the Acquired Companies customary for use in information documents with respect to the placement, arrangement and/or syndication of loans of the type contemplated by such Debt Financing, to the extent applicable, including in connection with the preparation by the Buyer of materials for rating agency presentations, marketing materials, bank information memoranda (including with respect to the presence of or absence of material non-public information relating to the Acquired Companies and the accuracy of the information relating to the Acquired Companies contained therein), confidential information memorandum, lender presentations, private placement memoranda and similar documents reasonably required in connection with the Debt Financing, in each case as reasonably requested by the Buyer, (iv) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, furnish Buyer and any prospective Debt Financing Sources with all documentation and other information required by any Governmental Entity with respect to such financing under applicable law (including “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations), to the extent requested in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (v) provide assistance in connection with the execution and delivery of customary credit agreements (or amendments thereto), pledge and security documents, guarantees, indentures, contribution agreements, management and services agreements, purchase agreements, solvency certificates, and other customary definitive documentation relating to the relevant Debt Financing provided that the foregoing documentation

Section 9.4Claims Procedures.

(a)Third Party Claims. If a claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) is made against a Shareholder Indemnified Party or a Buyer Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”), and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this ARTICLE IX, such Indemnified Party shall promptly provide an Indemnity Claim Notice to the indemnifying party (which shall include Shareholder Representative if the Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnified Party) (each an “Indemnifying Party”). The failure to timely provide such notice shall not result in a waiver of any right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of an Indemnity Claim Notice to assume by written notice to the Indemnified Party (which shall include the acknowledgment of the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Agreement and subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE IX), the entire

control of the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim or demand (including the selection of counsel), subject to the right of the Indemnified Party to participate (with counsel of its choice, but the fees and expenses of such additional counsel shall solely be at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party (subject to the limitations herein), if based on the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, an actual conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with such Third Party Claim); and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall have the right, at its own cost and expense and with counsel selected by it, to participate in), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have control over, the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim (and the cost of such defense and any Losses with respect to such Third Party Claim shall constitute an amount for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, subject to the limitations herein) if (i) the Third Party Claim involves a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks injunctive or equitable relief, (iii) the Third Party Claim may result in suspension of debarment of a Buyer Indemnified Party by a Governmental Entity, (iv) with respect to a Buyer Indemnified Party, the Third Party Claim has reasonable likelihood of resulting in Losses that, at the time of such Third Party Claim, would exceed the then-remaining balance of the Indemnification Escrow Funds, (v) (A) the assumption of the defense by the Indemnifying Party is reasonably likely to cause a Buyer Indemnified Party to lose coverage under the R&W Insurance Policies or (B) a Buyer Indemnified Party or the insurer is required to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policies, (vi) if the Third Party Claim alleges a claim relating to fraud against the Company or any Company Subsidiary, and (vii) if the applicable claimant in the Third Party Claim is a Governmental Entity. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnity Claim Notice (or ceases in good faith and with reasonable diligence to continue the defense of such Third Party Claim), the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.4(b), pay, compromise, or defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Shareholder Representative and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim. The party defending a Third Party Claim shall keep the other party reasonably informed in a timely fashion of the status of, and material developments pertaining to, such Third Party Claim.

(b)Settlement of Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not compromise or settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party and the insurer under the R&W Insurance Policies, if required by such policy, unless, after consultation with the Indemnified Party, (x) such settlement is solely for the payment of money and does not impose any injunctive or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party nor require any admission or acknowledgement of liability or fault of the Indemnified Party, (y) the

Indemnifying Party makes such payment in full (irrespective of any limitations contained herein) and (z) the Indemnified Party receives an unconditional release from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such matter, with prejudice. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.4(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c)Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party by prompt delivery to the Indemnifying Party of an Indemnity Claim Notice. The failure to timely provide such Indemnity Claim Notice shall not, however, result in a waiver of any right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. Such Indemnity Claim Notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have forty-five (45) days (the “Response Period”) after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim; provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing of any objection to such Direct Claim (an “Indemnity Objection Notice”) within the Response Period, such Direct Claim and the amount of such Direct Claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE IX. During the Response Period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party delivers an Indemnity Objection Notice within the Response Period, the parties shall attempt in good faith for twenty (20) Business Days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each such claim. If the parties should so agree, (i) a memorandum setting forth such agreement and the agreed upon dollar amount of Liability for such claim of the party against whom the claim is made shall be prepared and signed by (or on behalf of) the parties and (ii) if the Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnified Party, the Buyer and the Shareholder Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow and Paying Agent instructing the Escrow and Paying Agent to release to Buyer the amount of such agreed claim from the Indemnification Escrow Fund within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such joint written instructions by wire transfer of immediately available funds. At any time following delivery of an Indemnity Objection Notice pursuant to this Section 9.4(c) or in the event of any dispute arising pursuant to ARTICLE IX, such objection or dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 11.12 and the Escrow and Paying Agent shall only distribute funds thereafter pursuant to joint written instructions as described in this Section 9.4(c) or a final, non-appealable court order from a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 9.5Indemnification Offset. All indemnification payments required pursuant to this Agreement shall be made net of all insurance benefits actually received by the Indemnified Party and after accounting for any Tax Benefit actually received in respect of Losses by the Indemnified Party. In the event that any claim for indemnification hereunder is, or may be, the subject of any insurance coverage or other right of indemnification or contribution from any third Person (other than an Affiliate of the Indemnified Party), the Indemnified Party expressly agrees that it shall promptly notify, use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any available claim and reasonably cooperate with the applicable insurance carrier, and shall also promptly notify and use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any available claim against any potential third party indemnitor or contributor which may be liable for any portion of such Losses or claims; provided, however, in no event shall an Indemnified Party be obligated (i) to make any claim under any insurance coverage or otherwise exercise any other right of indemnification or contribution from any third party prior to making a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE IX or with respect to the R&W Insurance Policies or (ii) to commence or engage in litigation or initiate any other legal proceedings or action against any such insurance carrier or third party indemnitor or contributor. In the event insurance benefits or Tax Benefit are actually received by the Indemnified Party with respect to a Loss, the amount of such insurance benefit or Tax Benefits actually received (net of documented out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with such recovery, including the amount of any co-payment or deductible and any increase in premiums arising from or relating to the underlying claim) shall be deducted from the aggregate amount of the Loss associated with such claim, and, to the extent the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnification Escrow Fund has made a payment indemnifying the Indemnified Party for such Loss, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party or to the Escrow and Paying Agent for deposit into the Indemnification Escrow Fund, as applicable, the amount of the insurance benefits or Tax Benefit received by it (net of documented out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with such recovery, including the amount of any co-payment or deductible and any increase in premiums arising from or relating to the underlying claim) not to exceed the amount of the indemnifying payment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Tax Benefit” shall mean any reduction of Taxes paid in the year of the Loss or the immediately following year by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of a Loss.

Section 9.6Recourse.

(a)Except in the case of Excluded Claims, no Escrow Participating Shareholder shall be liable for any indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(ii) or Section 9.3(b)(ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Escrow Participating Shareholders pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(ii) and Section 9.3(b)(ii) equals or exceeds in the aggregate Five Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($5,250,000) (the “Deductible”) after which the Buyer indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder only for such Losses in excess of the Deductible and, solely to the extent of and solely from the Indemnification Escrow Amount or the R&W Insurance Policies.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have no direct recourse against any Shareholder with respect to claims pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(ii) or Section 9.3(b)(ii) other than with respect to the Excluded Claims.

(c)With respect to any Losses for which a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification for the Excluded Claims or under Section 9.3(a)(i), Section 9.3(b)(i) or Section 9.3(a)(iii), Item (B) on Section 9.3(a)(iv) or Item (C) on Section 9.3(a)(iv), such Losses shall be satisfied as follows: (i) first, from the Indemnification Escrow Funds to the extent of such Indemnification Escrow Funds; (ii) second, with respect to Losses covered by the R&W Insurance Policies, from the R&W Insurance Policies, to the extent a Buyer Indemnified Party obtains such recoveries after exercising commercially reasonable efforts to seek and procure such recoveries; provided that Buyer shall have no obligation to commence or engage in litigation or initiate any other legal proceedings or action against the insurer under the R&W Insurance Policies; and (iii) third, if coverage under the R&W Insurance Policies is exhausted in full or if such Losses are not covered by the R&W Insurance Policies, (A) for Company Excluded Claims or claims under Section 9.3(a)(i) or Section 9.3(a)(iii), Item (B) on Section 9.3(a)(iv) or Item (C) on Section 9.3(a)(iv) from the Escrow Participating Shareholders, in accordance with their Pro Rata Escrow Portion and (B) for Shareholder Excluded Claims or claims under Section 9.3(b)(i), from the applicable Shareholder.

(f)Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, except in the case of Fraud, no Shareholder shall be liable for aggregate Losses in excess of the amount of proceeds such Shareholder actually received in connection with the sale of such Shareholder’s Shares.

Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid directly to the applicable Taxing Authority and/or vendors such State and Local Tax Liability in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Deducted Uncertain Income Tax Positions Amount. On the date that is the thirtieth (30th) month anniversary of the Closing Date, to the extent the aggregate amount of State and Local Tax Liability incurred under Section 6.9(g) following the Closing is less than the Deducted Uncertain Income Tax Positions Amount, Buyer shall pay, or shall cause to be paid the difference between the Deducted Uncertain Income Tax Positions Amount and the aggregate amount of State and Local Tax Liability incurred under Section 6.9(g) following the Closing and as of such date to the Escrow and Paying Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds,

for further distribution to the Escrow Participating Shareholders, such Person’s pro rata share of such difference.

(ii)If any Buyer Indemnified Party incurs a State and Local Tax Liability under Section 6.9(g)(ii) or otherwise which is not credited against the Deducted Uncertain Income Tax Positions Amount under clause (i) of this Section 9.10(c) or a Personal Deduction Tax Liability at any time on or before the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, (A) such Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive a payment in cash from the Tax Escrow Funds in an amount equal to such State and Local Tax Liability or Personal Deduction Tax Liability, and (B) Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to make a payment to Buyer (or its designee) out of the Tax Escrow Funds in an amount equal to such State and Local Tax Liability or Personal Deduction Tax Liability.

(iii)If Shareholder Representative incurs a State and Local Tax Liability under Section 6.9(g)(i) after the Closing which is not credited against the Deducted Uncertain Income Tax Positions Amount under clause (i) of this Section 9.10(c), (A) Shareholder Representative (for payment to the applicable Taxing Authority and/or vendors or for reimbursement for the payment of such amounts, as applicable) shall be entitled to receive a payment in cash from the Tax Escrow Funds in an amount equal to such State and Local Tax Liability, and (B) Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to make a payment to Shareholder Representative (or his designee) out of the Tax Escrow Funds in an amount equal to such State and Local Tax Liability.

(iv)On the date that is the thirtieth (30th) month anniversary of the Closing Date (“Preliminary Tax Escrow Release Date”), to the extent funds are available in the Tax Escrow Funds in excess of $6,000,000, Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to release the Tax Escrow Funds in excess of $6,000,000 to Shareholder Representative, provided that if Buyer determines that the reasonable potential State and Local Tax Liability is in excess of $6,000,000, Buyer shall provide written notice thereof (the “Preliminary Escrow Retention Notice”) to Shareholder Representative at least thirty (30) days prior to the Preliminary Tax Escrow Release Date, which Preliminary Escrow Retention Notice shall set forth a list of remaining unresolved jurisdictions and Buyer’s calculation of the reasonable potential State and Local Tax Liability in such jurisdictions (such amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 9.10(c)(iii), the “Preliminary Retained Amount”), Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to release the Tax Escrow Funds in excess of the Preliminary Retained Amount, if any, to Shareholder Representative. If Shareholder Representative objects to any jurisdiction included in the Preliminary Escrow Retention Notice or Buyer’s calculation of all or any portion of the Preliminary Retained Amount, Shareholder Representative shall notify Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such jurisdiction or item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection is duly delivered, Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such items. Any amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted to the Neutral Auditors in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6(e), mutatis mutandis (including the allocation of responsibility for the fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditors). In the event the

Preliminary Retained Amount is subsequently reduced as a result of Shareholder Representative’s objection, Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to release an amount of the Tax Escrow Funds equal to the lesser of (A) such reduction or (B) the Preliminary Retained Amount less $6,000,000, to Shareholder Representative in accordance with this Section 9.10(c).

(v)On the date that is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Tax Escrow Release Date”), to the extent funds are available in the Tax Escrow Funds, Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to release the available Tax Escrow Funds to Shareholder Representative, provided that if Buyer determines that the State and Local Tax Liability will not be fully resolved prior the Tax Escrow Release Date, Buyer shall provide written notice thereof (the “Escrow Retention Notice”) to Shareholder Representative at least thirty (30) days prior to the Tax Escrow Release Date, which Escrow Retention Notice shall set forth a list of remaining unresolved jurisdictions and Buyer’s calculation of the reasonable potential State and Local Tax Liability in such jurisdictions (such amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 9.10(c), the “Retained Amount”), and the Retained Amount shall be retained by the Escrow and Paying Agent and not released on the Tax Escrow Release Date. If Shareholder Representative objects to any jurisdiction included in the Escrow Retention Notice or Buyer’s calculation of all or any portion of the Retained Amount, Shareholder Representative shall notify Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such jurisdiction or item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection is duly delivered, Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such items. Any amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted to the Neutral Auditors in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6(e), mutatis mutandis (including the allocation of responsibility for the fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditors). In the event any portion of the Tax Escrow Funds becomes a Retained Amount, then, following the final determination of and payment to Buyer of the State and Local Tax Liability or Personal Deduction Tax Liability in respect of which the Retained Amount relates, Buyer and Shareholder Representative shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, jointly direct the Escrow and Paying Agent to release the amount remaining in the Tax Escrow Funds relating to such Retained Amount to Shareholder Representative in accordance with this Section 9.10(c).

Section 11.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that no party shall assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of each other party, including Shareholder Representative (acting on behalf of all of the Shareholders); provided, however, that Buyer may assign any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any of the Debt Financing Sources as collateral security, but no such assignment by any party shall relieve such party of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment of rights or delegation of obligations in violation of this Section, whether voluntary or involuntary, by merger, consolidation, dissolution, operation of law, or otherwise, is void.

Section 11.7 Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by each party; (b) no waiver that may

be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.

Section 11.8 Severability. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such decision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other provisions of this Agreement, which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the application of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

Section 11.9 Representation of Parties. The parties acknowledge that they have been represented by competent counsel of their own choice and that this Agreement has been the product of negotiation among them. Accordingly, the parties agree that in the event of any ambiguity in any provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed against any party regardless of which party was responsible for the drafting thereof.

Section 11.10 Time of the Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Section 11.11 Execution of Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, 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. This Agreement shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been executed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by electronic transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by electronic transmission shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

Section 11.12 Governing Law.

(a)This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts-of-law principles that would require the application of any other Law.

(b)Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Delaware for any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such Action may be heard and determined exclusively in such state or federal court. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action. The parties further agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that a final and unappealable judgment against any of them in any Action contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States

by suit on the judgment, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment.

(c)To the extent that any party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto (i) agrees that it will not, and it will not permit any of its Affiliates to, bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing (including with respect to any debt commitment letter and/or any other financing agreements) or the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby, in any forum other than exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof), (ii) submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (iii) waives and hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such action in any such court, (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law, and (v) agrees that the provisions of Section 11.13 relating to the waiver of jury trial shall apply to any such action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim.

(e)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action of any kind or nature (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) involving a Debt Financing Source that is in any way related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing (including with respect to any debt commitment letter and/or any other financing agreements) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles (other than sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).

Section 11.13 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS AMONG THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO (INCLUDING ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM AGAINST ANY DEBT

FINANCING SOURCE), IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 11.14 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation.

(a)Notwithstanding that the Acquired Companies and Shareholder Representative have been represented by Bodman PLC in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and any related agreements, Buyer agrees that after the Closing Bodman PLC may represent Shareholder Representative in all matters related to this Agreement and any related agreements, including in respect of any indemnification claims pursuant to this Agreement and any related agreements (the “Future Representation”). Buyer hereby acknowledges, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that it has had an opportunity to ask for and has obtained information relevant to such representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of such representation, and it hereby waives any conflict arising out of such Future Representation as such representation may relate to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer.

(b)Buyer hereby acknowledges that Bodman PLC, together with the Acquired Companies’ in-house counsel, have represented the Acquired Companies and Shareholder Representative in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any related agreements, including the processes and procedures with respect to such transactions and the evaluation and negotiation of such transactions with Buyer and other prospective buyers. The parties agree that any attorney-client privilege as a result of Bodman PLC’s or the Acquired Companies’ in-house general counsel’s representation of the Acquired Companies and Shareholder Representative in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any related agreements, and all communications covered by such attorney-client privilege (the “Covered Communications”) shall, after the Closing, belong to and be controlled solely by Shareholder Representative and may only be waived by Shareholder Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer, or any Acquired Company, on the one hand, and a Person other than the Shareholder Representative, a Shareholder or one of their Affiliates, on the other hand, after the Closing, Buyer, and the Acquired Companies, as applicable, may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of Covered Communications to such third party. To the extent that Buyer receives or takes physical possession of any Covered Communications after the Closing, Buyer shall keep such Covered Communications strictly confidential and such physical possession or receipt shall not, in any way, be deemed a waiver by Shareholder Representative or any other Person of the privileges or protections described in this section.

Section 11.15 Shareholder Representative.

(a)By the execution of this Agreement, each Shareholder hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Shareholder Representative as Shareholder Representative, agent, proxy, and attorney-in-fact for each of the Shareholder Group Members for all purposes authorized under this Agreement, including the full power and authority on behalf of the Shareholder Group Members (i) to disburse any funds received hereunder to the applicable Shareholder Group Members; (ii) to endorse and deliver any certificates or instruments representing the Shares and execute such further instruments of assignment as Buyer shall reasonably request; (iii) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Shareholder Group Member any amendment or waiver hereto; (iv) (A) to dispute or refrain from disputing, or to deliver instructions, on behalf of such Shareholder Group Member relative to any amounts to be received by such Shareholder Group Member under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, any claim made by Buyer under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, (B) to negotiate and compromise, on behalf of any Shareholder Group Member, any dispute that may arise under, and exercise or refrain from exercising any remedies available under, this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, and (C) to execute, on behalf of each Shareholder Group Member, any settlement agreement, release or other document with respect to such dispute or remedy; (v) to engage attorneys, accountants, agents or consultants on behalf of the Shareholder Group Members in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby and pay any fees related thereto; (vi) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Shareholder Group Member in connection herewith; and (vii) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which such Shareholder Group Member individually or collectively with the other Shareholder Group Members are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby. Each of the Shareholder Group Members agrees that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of Shareholder Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any such Shareholder Group Member. If any Shareholder Group Member dies or becomes incapacitated, disabled or incompetent (such deceased, incapacitated, disabled or incompetent Shareholder Group Member being a “Former Shareholder”) and, as a result, the agency and power of attorney conferred by this Section 11.15 is revoked by operation of law, it shall not be a breach by such Former Shareholder under this Agreement if the heirs, beneficiaries, estate, administrator, executor, guardian, conservator or other legal representative of such Former Shareholder (each a “Successor Shareholder”) confirms the appointment of Shareholder Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact for such Successor Shareholder. All decisions and actions by Shareholder Representative (to the extent authorized by this Agreement) shall be binding upon all of the Shareholder Group Members, and no Shareholder Group Member shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(b)Each Shareholder Group Member agrees that Buyer and Company shall be entitled to rely on any action taken by Shareholder Representative, on behalf of such Shareholder Group Member, pursuant to Section 11.15(a) (an “Authorized Action”), and that each Authorized Action shall be binding on each such Shareholder Group Member as fully as if such Shareholder Group Member had taken such Authorized Action.

(c)Shareholder Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Shareholder Group Member, except in respect of amounts received on behalf of such Shareholder Group Member. Shareholder Representative shall not be liable to any Shareholder Group Member for any action taken or omitted by it or any agent employed by it hereunder or under any other document entered into in connection herewith, except that Shareholder Representative shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by law for willful misconduct. Shareholder Representative shall not be liable to the Shareholder Group Members for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by Shareholder Representative in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Shareholder Group Member to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the other Shareholder Group Members any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. Shareholder Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. Neither Shareholder Representative nor any agent employed by it shall incur any liability to any Shareholder Group Member by virtue of the failure or refusal of Shareholder Representative for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the performance of its other duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions constituting actual and intentional fraud.

Section 11.16 Exculpation of Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor any Shareholder Group Member shall have any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, any debt commitment letter, the related financing agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and no Debt Financing Source shall have any rights or claims against any Acquired Company or any Shareholder Group Member or any of their Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) and each Shareholder Group Member, (a) hereby waive any claims or rights against any Debt Financing Source relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, any debt commitment letter, the related financing agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether at law or in equity and whether in tort, contract or otherwise, (b) hereby agrees not to bring or support any action against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, any debt commitment letter, the related financing agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (c) hereby agrees to cause any action asserted by any Acquired Company or by any Shareholder Group Member, respectively, against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, any debt commitment letter, the related financing agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to be dismissed or otherwise terminated; provided that following the Closing, the foregoing will not limit the rights of the parties to the Debt Financing under any financing agreements related thereto. In addition, in no event will any Debt Financing Source or Affiliate of any Debt Financing Source, or any representative of the foregoing be liable for any damages of any kind (including consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or indirect damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) or damages of a tortious nature) in connection with this

Agreement, the Debt Financing, any debt commitment letter, the related financing agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 11.17 Specific Performance. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that the other parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter (subject to the provisions set forth in Section 11.12), in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity, without the need to provide any bond or other security. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that the party seeking such relief has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of such relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

Section 11.18 Parent Guaranty.

(a)To induce the Company, the Shareholders and the Shareholder Representative to enter into this Agreement, Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Company and the Shareholder Indemnified Parties (the “Guaranteed Parties”) the due and timely payment, performance and discharge (and not merely collection) of all obligations of Buyer under this Agreement (collectively, the “Obligations”) when due and/or payable (the “Guarantee”), in each case as if the Obligations were direct and primary obligations of the Guarantor.

(b)Guarantor hereby waives any rights it may have to require the Guaranteed Parties to proceed first against or claim payment from Buyer before enforcing the Obligations directly against Guarantor, with the intent that Guarantor shall be liable to the Guaranteed Parties as a principal debtor on the Obligations as if it had entered into all undertakings, agreements and other obligations jointly and severally with Buyer. Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure or delay on the part of the Guaranteed Parties to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Buyer; (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Obligations or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment to or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement (other than any waiver, amendment or modification of any Obligation) made in accordance with the terms hereof or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Obligations; or (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Buyer or any other person now or hereafter liable with respect to any of the Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of the Guarantee and of the Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest,

notice of any Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind (other than notices expressly required to be provided to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement), all defenses that may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium, or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Buyer or any other person now or hereafter liable with respect to any of the Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all suretyship defenses. Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Guarantee, including specifically the waivers set forth in this Section 11.18, are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. The Shareholder Representative and Shareholders are hereby authorized from time to time, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of the Guarantor, to extend the time for payment of the Obligations, to accept partial payment on the Obligations and to settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Obligations, in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of Guarantor; provided that any such settlement, release, compromise, collection or liquidation shall reduce the Obligations pro tanto.

(d)Guarantor agrees to pay the costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Guaranteed Parties in connection with any Action brought or maintained against Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee.

(e)Guarantor covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by the complete payment and performance of the Obligations and any other obligations contained in Section 11.18(d).
