As a condition precedent to each Certificate holder’s receipt of his, her or its portion of the Merger Consideration, such holder shall (A) surrender such Certificate to Parent for cancellation (or, if such Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, make an affidavit of that fact with appropriate indemnification, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Representative), and (B) deliver an executed letter of transmittal. Upon receipt by Parent of the items set forth in the immediately preceding sentence (but in no event earlier than the Effective Time), the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, the Per Share Merger Consideration for each share of Company Stock represented by such Certificate, and Parent shall pay such Per Share Merger Consideration (i) on the Closing Date if all deliveries from the applicable holder of Company Stock are received by Parent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date or (ii) otherwise within five (5) Business Days after the date of receipt by Parent of such deliveries from the applicable holder of Company Stock, in each case by delivery of a certified or bank cashier’s check or by wire transfer, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled upon payment thereof by Parent. No interest will be paid or accrued on any portion of

the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Company Stock is presented to Parent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.

(d)Retention of Amounts. Notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth in this Agreement, no Company Stockholder holding Company Stock shall be entitled to receive that portion of the Merger Consideration represented by such Company Stockholder’s pro rata share of the Adjustment Escrow Amount or the Representative Holdback Amount until such time as such amount (or any portion thereof), if any, is distributed to such Company Stockholder pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement or Section 9.17, respectively. The Company represents and agrees that the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of the Merger by the Requisite Stockholder Approval and the delivery of the Stockholder Confirmations shall constitute approval by the Company Stockholders holding Company Stock of the Escrow Agreement and of all of the arrangements relating thereto, including the placement of the Adjustment Escrow Amount in escrow and the appointment of the Representative.

(a)Cancellation of Options. In connection with the Merger, effective at the Effective Time, all outstanding stock options to purchase Common Stock (each, an “Option”) shall automatically be cancelled, without any payment therefor except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.04. Each Option, to the extent unexercised as of the Effective Time, shall thereafter no longer be exercisable but shall entitle (subject to the immediately following sentence) the holder thereof (each, an “Option Holder”), in cancellation and settlement therefor, to a payment in cash equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (x) the Per Share Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to such Option, multiplied by

(ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Option immediately prior to its cancellation (such payment to be net of withholdings, if any, and without interest) (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to, collectively, as the “Option Payments”) subject to the same conditions under which other Company Stockholders receive Per Share Merger Consideration; provided that, all Option Payments shall be made through the applicable payroll system of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and shall be subject to all applicable employment and payroll Tax withholding in accordance with applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, any Option which has not vested in accordance with its terms (an “Unvested Option”) shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration, and shall be canceled, as of the Closing Date, with no consideration delivered in exchange therefor.

(b)Surrender of Options. As soon as practicable after the date hereof but no later than promptly following the Effective Time, the Company or its designee shall mail to each Option Holder (1) a letter of transmittal (which shall include the acknowledgment and agreement by the Option Holder that the Equity Agreements were terminated upon the Effective Time, except for those provisions of the Equity Agreements that survive such termination in accordance with their terms) and (2) instructions for use in effecting the cancellation and termination of the Option in exchange for the portion of Option Payments contemplated to be

paid to such Option Holder pursuant to this Section 2.04. As a condition precedent to each Option Holder’s right to receive his, her or its Option Payment, if any, such Option Holder shall deliver to the Company an executed letter of transmittal as determined above. Upon receipt by the Company or its designee of such Option Holder’s executed letter of transmittal (but in no event earlier than the Effective Time), the Company or its designee shall pay to such Option Holder, subject to any applicable withholdings and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.05 hereof, the portion of the Option Payments due under this Section 2.04 with respect to such Option, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to make such payment (i) on the Closing Date if all deliveries from the applicable Option Holder are received by the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date or (ii) otherwise within five

(5) Business Days after the date of receipt by the Company of such deliveries from the applicable Option Holder.

(c)Retention of Amounts. Notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall not pay to any Option Holder that portion of the Option Payments represented by such Option Holder’s pro rata share of the Adjustment Escrow Amount or the Representative Holdback Amount until such time as such amount (or any portion thereof), if any, is distributed to such Option Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement or Section 9.17, respectively. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Requisite Stockholder Approval shall constitute approval by the Option Holders of the Escrow Agreement and of all of the arrangements relating thereto, including the placement of the Adjustment Escrow Amount, in escrow and the appointment of the Representative.

(a)Promptly, but in any event within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Representative a statement, duly certified by Parent as accurately setting forth Parent’s good faith determination of (i) the Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) the Working Capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (iii) the Cash of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (iv) the Company Transaction Expenses, in each case as of the Closing Calculation Time, together with (x) the balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries from which such determinations were derived, and (y) such other relevant information on which the calculations reflected on such statement are based (such statement, together with such accompanying balance sheet and other information, the “Closing Statement”). Parent shall deliver such work papers and other documents and information supporting the Closing Statement and the calculations therein as the Representative may reasonably request.

(b)Following the delivery of the Closing Statement by Parent and until the Closing Statement has become conclusive and binding as set forth in this Section 2.05(b), the Representative shall have reasonable access to all books and records and work papers (including those of Parent’s and the Company’s accountants and auditors, subject to execution of reasonable and customary documentation) relating to the Closing Statement and all other items reasonably requested by the Representative related thereto. If the Representative disagrees with Parent’s determination of the Indebtedness, Working Capital, Cash and/or Company Transaction Expenses, in each case as reflected on the Closing Statement, the Representative may, within

forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Closing Statement, deliver a written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to Parent setting forth the Representative’s calculation of each disputed amount (each an “Item of Dispute”). If Parent does not receive a Dispute Notice within forty-five (45) days after delivery by Parent of the Closing Statement, or if the Representative notifies Parent in writing that it will not deliver a Dispute Notice, then the Closing Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties. If Parent receives a Dispute Notice from the Representative within forty-five (45) days after delivery by Parent of the Closing Statement, Parent and the Representative shall use reasonable efforts to resolve each Item of Dispute, and, if any Item of Dispute is so resolved, such resolution shall be in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties, and the Closing Statement shall be modified to the extent necessary to reflect such resolution. If any Item of Dispute remains unresolved as of the twentieth (20th) day after delivery by the Representative of the Dispute Notice, Parent and the Representative shall jointly retain a mutually agreeable independent valuation firm of recognized national standing to resolve such remaining disagreement; provided, further, that, in such case, if Parent and the Representative are unable to agree on the choice of such firm by the fortieth (40th) day after delivery by the Representative of the Dispute Notice, then such firm will be a nationally recognized valuation firm selected by lot (after the Representative and Parent shall have each submitted two proposed firms and then excluded one firm designated by the other party); provided that such firm shall not be the independent auditor of (or otherwise provide services under a contractual arrangement with) either Parent or the Representative (the firm actually retained pursuant to this sentence, the “Valuation Firm”). Parent and the Representative shall request that the Valuation Firm render a determination as to each unresolved Item of Dispute within thirty (30) days after its retention, and Parent and the Representative shall, and Parent shall cause the Company and each of their respective agents and representatives to, cooperate fully with the Valuation Firm so as to enable it to make such determination as quickly and accurately as reasonably practicable, including the provision by Parent, the Company and the Representative of all books and records and work papers (including those of their accountants and auditors, subject to execution of reasonable and customary documentation) relating to the Closing Statement, the Dispute Notice and all other items reasonably requested by the Valuation Firm (in each case in such a manner so as not to waive or eliminate any privilege applicable to any such information). The Valuation Firm shall consider only those items and amounts that were set forth on the Closing Statement and the Dispute Notice and that remain unresolved by Parent and the Representative. In resolving any Item of Dispute, the Valuation Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party, or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party, on the Closing Statement or the Dispute Notice, as applicable. The Valuation Firm’s determination(s) shall be based upon the definitions of Indebtedness, Working Capital, Cash and/or Company Transaction Expenses (as applicable) included herein. The Valuation Firm’s determination of each Item of Dispute submitted to it shall be in writing, shall conform to this Section 2.05 and shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties, and the Closing Statement shall be modified to the extent necessary to reflect such determination(s). The Valuation Firm shall allocate its fees, costs and expenses between Parent on the one hand, and the Representative on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each such Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party. The Indebtedness, the Working Capital, the Cash and the Company Transaction Expenses, in each case as finally determined pursuant to this

(c)Payments to Parent. If the Net Adjustment Amount is negative (in which case the “Net Adjustment Amount” for purposes of this Section 2.05(c) shall be deemed to be equal to the absolute value of such amount), the Representative and Parent shall, within five (5) Business Days after determination of the Net Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.05(b), instruct the Escrow Agent to (i) pay to Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Adjustment Escrow Account to a bank account designated in writing by Parent, the Net Adjustment Amount, and (ii) release to the Representative, for payment to the Company Stockholders, the balance remaining (if any) of the Adjustment Escrow Account (after any payment made to Parent from the Adjustment Escrow Account pursuant to clause (i) foregoing), including any earnings thereon. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Representative or any Company Stockholder be required to make any payments in respect of any adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.05 in excess of the then-remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account, including any earnings thereon, or from any source of funds other than the Adjustment Escrow Account. If the Representative does not provide the instruction to the Escrow Agent when it is required to pursuant to this Section 2.05(c), then Parent alone may provide such instruction to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.

(d)Payments by Parent. If the Net Adjustment Amount is positive, Parent and the Representative shall within five (5) Business Days after determination of the Net Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.05(b), (i) pay to the Representative, for payment to the Company Stockholders, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Representative, an amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount, and (ii) instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Representative, for payment to the Company Stockholders, the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account, including any earnings thereon; provided that with respect to Options, the Representative alone shall instruct Parent in writing to withhold and pay through the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ payroll the requisite amounts to the appropriate holders of Options. If Parent does not provide the instruction to the Escrow Agent when it is required to pursuant to this Section 2.05(d), then the Representative may provide such instruction to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.

(e)All adjustment payments made pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for all applicable Tax purposes.

Section 2.06 Effect of Merger on the Capital Stock of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, each share of Merger Sub’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Company Stockholders, be converted automatically into and exchanged for one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.07 No Appraisal Rights. Pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Stockholders Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute an “Approved Sale” (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) and none of the Company Stockholders shall be entitled to rights of appraisal for any shares of Company Stock.

Section 2.08 RWI Policy. To the extent Parent obtains a representation and warranty insurance policy (a “RWI Policy”), any such RWI Policy shall include a provision whereby the insurer expressly waives any subrogation rights against any Company Stockholder Party with respect to any claim made by any insured thereunder (except for Fraud). No insured party under the RWI Policy shall waive, amend, modify or otherwise revise this subrogation provision, or allow such provision to be waived, amended, modified, or otherwise revised without the prior written consent of the Representative. The Company shall cooperate reasonably with Parent in connection with obtaining the RWI Policy.

Section 2.09 Withholding. Parent, the Company, its Subsidiaries, and the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, may deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to any Person in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement such amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, however, that Parent and the Representative (for itself and on behalf of the Company Stockholders) shall (a) provide written notice to the other party of any such requirement that such Person becomes aware of to deduct or withhold with respect to the applicable payment made by, to or on behalf of such party (other than with respect to the Option Payments or with respect to withholding required pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code in the event of a failure to deliver the certificate described in Section 7.01(f)(ii)) at least three (3) days before such payment to which such deduction or withholding would apply is made (which notice shall identify the applicable Law pursuant to which such deduction or withholding is required) and (b) cooperate in good faith with any reasonable request to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding; provided, further, that, Parent and its Affiliates shall not be permitted to deduct and withhold any amounts in respect of Public Notice 7 (the application of which to the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be governed by Section 6.10(e) and Section 9.17(c)). Any such amounts so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(b)This Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby to which Parent or Merger Sub is a party have been or will be duly executed and delivered by Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, and constitute, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the valid and legally binding obligation of Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with their terms and conditions, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

Section 4.03 Noncontravention. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, nor the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby, will (i) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of Parent or Merger Sub, (ii) assuming compliance by the Company with Section 3.03, violate any Law or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which Parent or Merger Sub is subject or (iii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, constitute a default under, result in the termination (or right of termination), cancellation, creation or acceleration of any rights under, or require any consent or notice under, any contract to which Parent or Merger Sub is a party or by which either of their assets are bound. Except for the applicable requirements of the HSR Act, filings required by the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and state securities laws, and the filing of the Certificate of Merger, neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub, nor the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby, will require any consent or approval of or notice to any Governmental Authority, except for consents, approvals or notices the failure of which to obtain or provide would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impair Parent’s or Merger Sub’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.04 Broker’s Fees. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder or agent with respect to the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which the Company Stockholder Parties could become liable or obligated.

(a)Parent has received and delivered to the Company a true, correct and complete copy of the debt commitment letter addressed to Parent dated as of the date of this Agreement from Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as the same may be amended or replaced and including any executed commitment letter (or similar agreement) for any alternative financing, the “Debt Commitment Letter”) pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the lenders party thereto have committed to provide or cause to be provided debt financing as described therein (the “Debt Financing”).

(b)As of the date hereof, each of the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws of general application affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity. As of the date hereof, each of the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters is in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified, withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect.

(c)The aggregate net proceeds contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, together with other cash and cash equivalents available to Parent and its Affiliates, will in the aggregate be sufficient for Parent to satisfy the obligation to pay the Merger Consideration, the Adjustment Escrow Amount, and any amounts payable by Parent and pursuant to Section 2.02 and Section 2.05 and all of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s related fees and expenses, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof (such amounts, collectively, the “Required Amounts”). The obligations of the Debt Financing Sources to fund the commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter are not subject to any conditions precedent or other contingencies except as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and customary fee letters (the “Fee Letters”), true, correct and complete copies of which have been provided to the Company, and with respect to such fee letters, with only the amount of fees and other economic terms therein which do not affect the conditionality, availability or the amount of the Debt Financing redacted. As of the date hereof, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy any term or condition to be satisfied by it as a condition to the availability of the Debt Financing contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or that the Debt Financing Sources will not perform their respective funding obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms and conditions. There are no other side agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings that would

(A)    reduce the amount of the Debt Financing that will be available on the Closing Date, or (B) impose new or additional conditions or other contingencies to funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date, in each case except as explicitly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach or failure to satisfy a condition on the part of Parent (or to Parent’s knowledge, any other party thereto) under the Debt Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters.

(d)In no event shall the receipt by, or the availability of any funds or financing to, the Company or its Subsidiaries or Parent or any of its Affiliates or any other financing be a condition to Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

Section 4.06 Litigation. There are no Actions pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened against or affecting Parent or Merger Sub before or by any Governmental Authority, which could adversely affect Parent’s or Merger Sub’s performance under this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 4.07 Solvency. Assuming the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is Solvent as of immediately prior to the Closing and assuming satisfaction of the conditions in Section 7.01 and the accuracy as of the Effective Time of all of the representations of and warranties of the Company in this Agreement to the extent that any such inaccuracy would render the Company and its Subsidiaries not Solvent as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and immediately after giving effect to all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be Solvent at and immediately after the Effective Time. For purposes of the foregoing, “Solvent,” with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary, means, with respect to a particular date, (a) the amount of the “present fair saleable value” of the assets of the Company or such Subsidiary will, as of such date, exceed the amount of all “liabilities” of the Company or such Subsidiary, “contingent or otherwise,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable federal Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Company or such Subsidiary will, as of such date, be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the liability of the Company or such Subsidiary on its debts as its debts become absolute and matured, (c) the Company or such Subsidiary will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to conduct its business, and (d) the Company or such Subsidiary will be able to pay its debts as they mature. No transfer of property is being made and no obligation is being incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 4.08 Investment Intent; Restricted Securities. Parent understands and acknowledges that (a) none of the Company Stock has been registered or qualified under the Securities Act, or under any securities laws of any state of the United States or other jurisdiction, in reliance upon specific exemptions thereunder for transactions not involving any public offering, (b) all of the Company Stock constitute “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (c) none of the Company Stock is traded or tradable on any securities exchange or over-the-counter and (d) none of the Company Stock may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to such Company Stock and qualification in accordance with any applicable state securities laws becomes effective or unless such registration and qualification is inapplicable, or an exemption therefrom is available. Parent will not transfer or otherwise dispose any of the Company Stock acquired hereunder or any interest therein in any manner that may cause any Company Stockholder to be in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Parent is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act.

Section 4.09 Ownership of Merger Sub; No Prior Activities. Merger Sub is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has engaged in no business activity other than as contemplated by this Agreement. Except for obligations or liabilities incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Merger Sub has not and will not have incurred, directly or indirectly, through any subsidiary or Affiliate, any obligations or liabilities or engaged in any business activities of any type or kind whatsoever or entered into any agreements or arrangements with any Person.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall instruct each Person (other than Parent and Merger Sub and their representatives) in possession of confidential information about the Company that was furnished pursuant to a confidentiality agreement within the prior twelve (12) months in connection with any actual or potential proposal by such Person to acquire the Company (or any portion thereof) to promptly return or destroy all such information pursuant to, and subject to, the terms of such confidentiality agreement.

(a)Parent shall use best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions and do or cause to be done all things that are necessary, proper or advisable to obtain all consents and approvals required by the HSR Act. The “best efforts” of Parent for purposes of this Section 5.06 shall include Parent’s agreement to hold separate and divest or license such portion of the business, or such businesses, products and/or assets, of Parent or its Affiliates, or give any other commitment, as may be necessary to obtain the agreement of any Governmental Authority not to seek an injunction against or otherwise oppose the transactions contemplated hereby, on such terms as may be required by such Governmental Authority; provided, that Parent shall not be required to take any such actions which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as measured prior to the Effective Time). If suit or other action is threatened or instituted by any Governmental Authority or other Person challenging the validity or legality of, or seeking to restrain the consummation of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent shall use best efforts to avoid, resist, resolve or, if necessary, defend such suit or action. Parent shall pay all filing fees and other charges for the filings and submissions by the Parties and their respective Affiliates required under the HSR Act.

(b)In furtherance of Section 5.06(a), Parent shall (i) respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries or requests received from any Governmental Authority for additional information or documentation, and (ii) use best efforts to cause the waiting periods or other requirements under the HSR Act to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date (including with respect to filings under the HSR Act, seeking “early termination” of the waiting period under the HSR Act). Parent shall (A) allow the Representative to review and comment on any and all regulatory filings as contemplated by Section 5.06(a) or any requests or inquiries as contemplated in this Section 5.06(b) and consult the Representative prior to the submission of any and all of the foregoing (except that Parent shall be permitted to remove any commercially sensitive information before sharing with the Representative, or Parent’s legal counsel may share complete versions on a counsel-to-counsel basis with the Representative’s legal counsel); (B)

promptly notify the Representative of any written communication to Parent or its Affiliates from any Governmental Authority and, subject to applicable Law, permit the Representative to review in advance any proposed written communication to any of the foregoing (and consider in good faith the views of the Representative in connection therewith); (C) not agree to participate, or to permit its Affiliates to participate, in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement unless it consults with the Representative in advance and, to the extent appropriate or permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the Representative the opportunity to attend and participate, or to designate a representative to attend and participate, thereat; (D) furnish the Representative with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it and its Affiliates and their respective representatives on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement (except that Parent shall be permitted to remove any commercially sensitive information before sharing with the Representative, or Parent’s legal counsel may share complete versions on a counsel-to-counsel basis with the Representative’s legal counsel); (E) promptly provide the Representative with any information or documentation reasonably required by the Representative in order to prepare any filings required by the HSR Act or in order to respond to any inquiry from any Governmental Authority in relation to the HSR Act (except that Parent shall be permitted to remove any commercially sensitive information before sharing with the Representative, or Parent’s legal counsel may share complete versions on a counsel-to-counsel basis with the Representative’s legal counsel); and (F) promptly inform the Representative of any material developments and keep the Representative reasonably informed of the progress. In the event that any Governmental Authority issues, or threatens to issue, a Second Request for Information, or any Governmental Authority or other Person institutes, or threatens to institute, any suit or action challenging the validity or legality of, or seeking to restrain the consummation of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then all costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Parties or their respective Affiliates in connection with such Second Request for Information (or similar request under any other antitrust or competition Law), suit or action shall be borne by Parent.

(c)The Company shall coordinate and cooperate with Parent in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as Parent may reasonably request in connection with all of the foregoing.

(a)    From the date of this Agreement until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, the Company shall disclose to Parent in writing (in the form of an updated Disclosure Schedule) if the Company becomes aware of any matter (i) heretofore existing which, if known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedule or which is otherwise necessary to correct any information in such Disclosure Schedule which has been rendered inaccurate thereby and (ii) hereafter arising which, if existing at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedule or which is otherwise necessary to correct any information in such Disclosure Schedule which has been rendered inaccurate thereby.

(b)    From the date of this Agreement until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, Parent shall disclose to the Company in writing any material variances from the representations and warranties contained in Article IV.

Section 5.08 280G Matters. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall solicit a vote by the Company Stockholders, intended to comply with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, with respect to the right of any “disqualified individual” (as defined under Section 280G of the Code) to receive or retain any payments that would, in the absence of such stockholder approval, constitute excess parachute payments. Prior to soliciting such vote, the Company shall seek from each Person determined by the Company in good faith to be a disqualified individual a waiver that provides that no payments and/or benefits that would separately or in the aggregate constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code (“Parachute Payments”) with respect to such disqualified individual shall, in the absence of stockholder approval obtained pursuant to the stockholder vote described in the immediately preceding sentence, be payable to or retained by such disqualified individual to the extent such Parachute Payments would not be deductible by the payor by reason of the application of Section 280G of the Code or would result in the imposition of the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code on such disqualified individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any contract, agreement, or plan is entered into by Parent, or any of its Affiliates and a disqualified individual in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement before the Closing Date (the “Parent Arrangements”), the Parent shall provide a confidential copy of such contract, agreement or plan to the Company’s legal Representative at least ten (10) days before the Closing Date and shall cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to calculate or determine the value (for the purposes of Section 280G of the Code) of any payments or benefits granted or contemplated therein, which may be paid or granted in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that could constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code. Any payments and benefits to be provided to any disqualifying individuals by Parent or its Affiliates that are timely provided to the Company in accordance with the previous sentence shall be taken into account for purposes of calculating Parachute Payments and for purposes of the Company’s compliance with this Agreement. All materials produced by the Company in connection with the implementation of this Section 5.08 shall be provided to Parent at least four (4) days in advance of distribution to the Company Stockholders, for Parent’s review and comment, and the Company shall consider any of Parent’s requested reasonable changes or comments in good faith.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary to arrange and obtain the Debt Financing on or prior to the Closing Date to the extent necessary to satisfy the obligation to pay the Required Amounts, and will not, without the Company’s prior written consent, amend, modify, replace, terminate or agree to any waiver under the Debt Commitment Letter or Fee Letters if such amendment, modification, replacement, termination or waiver (i) reduces the aggregate cash amount of the Debt Financing to an amount that, together with other cash and cash equivalents available to Parent and its Affiliates, would be less than an amount that would be required to satisfy the obligation to pay the Required Amounts or (ii) changes the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing or adds

new or additional conditions precedent to obtaining the Debt Financing, if such change would reasonably be expected to materially delay, prevent or impede the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or materially adversely affect the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or any other documentation relating to the Debt Financing, or make the funding of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing on the Closing Date) materially less likely to occur on the Closing Date; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may (1) amend or replace the Debt Commitment Letter and any related fee letters to add lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents, managers or similar entities who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement, and (2) implement or exercise any “flex” provisions provided in any fee letter related to the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement (including the Fee Letters) or as amended, modified, or replaced in accordance with this Section 5.09. In the event that new commitment letters are entered into in accordance with any amendment, modification or replacement of the Debt Commitment Letter pursuant to this Section 5.09, (x) such new commitment letters shall be deemed to be a “Debt Commitment Letter” for all purposes of this Agreement and references to the “Debt Financing” herein shall include and mean the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as so amended, modified or replaced, as applicable and (y) Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies (which may be redacted in the manner described in Section 4.05) of such new commitment letters and any related fee letters. Parent shall furnish to the Company a copy (which may be redacted in the manner described in Section 4.05) of any amendment, modification, waiver or consent of or under the Debt Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters promptly following execution thereof.

(b)    Parent will use its reasonable best efforts, to the extent necessary to satisfy its obligation to pay the Required Amounts, to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) satisfy (or, if deemed advisable by Parent, obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions to the Debt Financing that are within Parent’s control, including the payment of any commitment, arrangement, engagement or placement fees required to be paid as a condition to closing, (iii) negotiate and enter into and deliver definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing, and (iv) in the event that the conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived or, upon funding, would be satisfied or waived, draw an amount of the Debt Financing which, together with other cash and cash equivalents available to Parent and its Affiliates, is sufficient to enable Parent to satisfy the obligation to pay the Required Amounts.

(c)    In addition to the requirements of Section 5.09(a) hereof, upon the request of the Company, Parent will keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of Parent’s efforts to obtain the Debt Financing.

(d)    From and after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, the Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries (and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, and other representatives) to provide such assistance with the Debt Financing as is customary with financings of the type contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and reasonably requested by Parent, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) provide to Parent and its Affiliates and their Debt Financing Sources as promptly as practicable all financial information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries (including their businesses, operations, financial projections and prospects) as may

(ii) deliver to Parent and its Affiliates and their Debt Financing Sources as promptly as reasonably practicable of the documentation and other information requested by the Debt Financing Sources with respect to applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act (at least six days prior to the Closing Date, to the extent requested at least nine days prior to the Closing Date); (iii) facilitate the granting of guarantees in connection with the Debt Financing and (iv) assist Parent and its Affiliates in causing the conditions precedent set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter to be satisfied, solely to the extent satisfaction of such conditions is reasonably within the control of the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, and other representatives.

Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Parent Parties (including the Company and its Subsidiaries following the Closing), that Kirkland & Ellis LLP may serve as counsel to the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company Stockholder Parties in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Kirkland & Ellis LLP (or any successor) may serve as counsel to the Company Stockholder Parties, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding such prior representation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and each of Parent and Merger Sub, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Parent Parties (including the Company and its Subsidiaries following the Closing) hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom.

To the extent that files in respect of any Privileged Communications constitute property of the Company, only the Representative and its Affiliates shall hold such property rights.

(b)In addition to the other rights provided for in this Section 6.08, and not in limitation thereof, from and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (each, a “D&O Indemnifying Party”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) indemnify and hold harmless (and release from any liability to Parent or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), current and former managers, directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, determined as of immediately prior to the Closing (each, a “D&O Indemnitee”), against all D&O Expenses (as defined below), losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “D&O Costs”) in respect of any threatened, pending or completed claim or Action, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, based on, arising out of or relating to the fact that such Person is or was a manager, director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and arising out of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing (a “D&O Indemnifiable Claim”) and (ii) advance to such D&O Indemnitees all D&O Expenses incurred in connection with any D&O Indemnifiable Claim (including in circumstances where the D&O Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of such claim) promptly after receipt of reasonably detailed statements therefor; provided, however, that the Person to whom D&O Expenses are to be advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable Law. Any D&O Indemnifiable Claim shall continue until such D&O Indemnifiable Claim is disposed of or all judgments, orders, decrees or other rulings in connection with such D&O Indemnifiable Claim are fully satisfied. For the purposes of this Section 6.08(b), “D&O Expenses” means attorneys’ fees and all other costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in any D&O Indemnifiable Claim, but shall exclude losses, judgments and amounts paid in settlement (which items are included in the definition of D&O Costs).

(c)At the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company to, obtain, maintain and fully pay for irrevocable “tail” insurance policies naming all Persons who were directors or officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing as direct beneficiaries with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Closing Date from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount and scope at least as

favorable as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date (the “D&O Tail”); provided, that the Company shall not pay an aggregate amount for such insurance policy in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by the or on behalf of the Company for the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Company as of the date hereof (such amount, the “Premium Cap”). If such premiums for such D&O Tail would require an expenditure that exceeds the Premium Cap, then the Parent or the Surviving Corporation may obtain, in satisfaction of the foregoing, a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. Parent shall not, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to, cancel or change such insurance policies in any respect.

The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or its officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.08 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies. The provisions of this Section 6.08 shall survive the consummation of the Closing and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnitee to whom this Section 6.08 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnitees to whom this Section 6.08 applies shall be third- party beneficiaries of this Section 6.08, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.08)

Section 6.09 Post-Closing Record Retention and Access. From and after the Closing, Parent shall provide the Representative and its authorized representatives with reasonable access (for the purpose of examining and copying), during normal business hours, upon reasonable advanced notice, to any books and records and other materials in the possession of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with any matter relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to periods or occurrences prior to or on the Closing Date (including the preparation of financial statements including for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and the management and handling of any Action), or compliance with the rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other Governmental Authority.

Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Representative, Parent shall not and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to, for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any books and records of the Company and its

Subsidiaries, or any portions thereof, relating to periods prior to the Closing Date without first offering to surrender to the Representative such books and records and materials or such portions thereof.

(b)No Section 338 or 336 Election. Parent will not, and will not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, make any election under Section 338 or 336 of the Code (or any similar provision of applicable Law) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter. Neither Parent nor the Representative shall take (or cause their respective Affiliates to take) any action with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to constitute part of a transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the “Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter” described in Internal Revenue Service Notices 2001-16 and 2008-111.

(d)Intercompany Transactions. Without the prior written consent of the Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company shall not engage in any intercompany transaction outside the ordinary course of business that would or reasonably could be expected to result in any material Taxes for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries would be liable (other than any Taxes included in the calculation of the Tax Liability Amount) for any taxable period (or portion thereof).

The Representative shall provide Parent with copies of any applicable Tax payment certificates bearing the confirmation of the relevant taxing authority of the PRC making the assessment. Each of Parent and the Representative shall provide to the other Party such assistance and information as is reasonably required by the Representative or Parent, respectively, in relation to any Public Notice 7 matters with respect to this Agreement.

One half of all sales and transfer Taxes, real property Taxes, transfer Taxes, stamp duties, recording charges and similar taxes, fees or charges imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger and the cancellation or conversion of Company Stock pursuant to Section 2.03(a)) (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes,” it being agreed and understood that such term shall not include any Tax determined or assessed under Public Notice 7 or any Tax based on income or gains, in each case, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), together with any interest, penalties or additions to such Transfer Taxes, shall be paid by Parent, and one half of all such Transfer Taxes, together with any interest, penalties or additions to such Transfer Taxes, shall be paid by the Representative. The Representative and Parent shall reasonably cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of all applicable Laws in connection with the payment of such Transfer Taxes, and

Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and each of Parent and Merger Sub has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and the representations and warranties of expressly and specifically set forth in Article III, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule. Such representations and warranties by the Company expressly and specifically set forth in Article III, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule, constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of or regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries to Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and each of Parent and Merger Sub understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including in respect of any of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries or in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries furnished or made available to Parent, Merger Sub and their respective representatives) are specifically disclaimed by the Company and its Subsidiaries. In connection with Parent’s and Merger Sub’s investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, each of Parent and Merger Sub has received certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and certain business plan information. Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that such Person is familiar with such uncertainties and that such Person is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of, and expressly disclaims reliance upon, the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts.

(the “Settlement Agreement”). So long as any portion of the Settlement Amounts is outstanding, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) to not, take any action (or fail to take any action) which would be reasonably likely to cause any portion of the Settlement Amounts to fail to be repaid to the Company and its Subsidiaries (for the benefit of the Representative and the Company Stockholders) without first

obtaining the written consent of the Representative. If, at any time after the Closing, Parent, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates receives any portion of the Settlement Amount, Parent shall cause any such amount received to be paid to the Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders) by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days of the receipt thereof.

Section 6.15 Termination of Affiliate Transactions. Effective upon the Closing, the Company shall terminate, or cause to be terminated, all agreements set forth on Schedule 3.19 in the Disclosure Schedule, in each case without continuing liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the Effective Time.

The Company shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all of its covenants and agreements required to be performed or complied with by it under this Agreement prior to the Closing Date; provided, that performance and compliance with Section 5.09(g) shall only be a condition to the obligation of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions to be performed by it in connection with the Closing to the extent that a breach thereof is a proximate cause of the failure by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to obtain the Debt Financing.

(c)No Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)Absence of Illegality.

(b)by either the Company or Parent if there has been a material breach or failure to perform on the part of the other Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform would reasonably be expected to cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.01(a) or (b), or Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.02(b), as applicable, to not (in the absence of a waiver) be satisfied at the Closing and which breach or failure, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt by such other Party of written notice of such breach or failure from the terminating Party or its Affiliates (it being understood and hereby agreed that neither Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(b) if such breach or failure is cured within such twenty (20) Business Day period); provided that the failure by Parent to deliver the Merger Consideration and the Adjustment Escrow Amount as and when required hereunder shall not be subject to cure hereunder unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Representative;

Section 8.02 Effect of Termination. Except for the provisions of Section 6.02 (Press Releases), Section 6.03 (Parent Transaction Expenses) and Section 6.04 (Confidentiality) and Article IX (Miscellaneous), which shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in the event

of the termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and no Party shall have any liability to the other Parties or their members, stockholders, managers or directors or officers in respect thereof; provided, however, that no such termination shall relieve any Party of any liability for any willful and deliberate breach of this Agreement.

including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations and warranties shall survive the Closing (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof); provided that this sentence shall not prejudice or limit any claim for Fraud. The covenants and agreements herein requiring performance after the Closing shall survive in accordance with their respective terms, and nothing in this Section 9.01 will be deemed to limit any rights or remedies of any Person for breach of any such surviving covenant or agreement.

(a)Subject to Section 9.01, each of Parent and Merger Sub, for itself and on behalf of the other Parent Parties (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries), acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any Company Stockholder Party relating to the operation of the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether arising under, or based upon, any Law or otherwise (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law, and including with respect to any matter arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act or any other Environmental Law) are hereby irrevocably waived. Furthermore, subject to Section 9.01, without limiting the generality of this Section 9.02, no claim shall be brought or maintained by, or on behalf of, Parent, Merger Sub or any other Parent Party (including, after the Closing, the Company or its Subsidiaries) against any Company Stockholder Party, and no recourse shall be sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of, or based upon, any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company or any other Person set forth or contained in this Agreement, any certificate, instrument, opinion, agreement or other document of the Company or any other Person delivered hereunder, the subject matter of this Agreement or the disclosure schedules to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the business or the ownership, operation, management, use or control of the business of any of the Company or its Subsidiaries, any of their assets, or any actions or omissions at, or prior to, the Closing; provided that this Section 9.02 shall not prejudice or limit any claim for Fraud.

(b)Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 9.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements set forth in this Section 9.02, the Company

would not enter into this Agreement or otherwise agree to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 9.03 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 2.08 (RWI Policy), Section 6.08 (Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification) Section 9.04(b) (Remedies), and Section 9.19 (Debt Financing Sources), this Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(a)The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, including the right of the Company and/or the Representative to cause Parent and Merger Sub to fully perform the terms of this Agreement to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to this Agreement and applicable Laws and to thereafter cause this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any Party may have under this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereby waives

(i) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate, and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. If any Party brings any Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement by the other Party, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended for so long as the Party bringing such Action is actively seeking a court order for an injunction or injunctions or to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement. In the event of any claim under this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to, and the non-prevailing Party shall pay to the prevailing Party, the costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with enforcing its rights or defending claims hereunder.

(b)All rights, claims and causes of action that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and are those solely of) the Parties. No Person who is not a Party, including any current, former or future representative or Affiliate of any Party, or any current, former or future representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach, and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. The Parties agree that the Nonparty Affiliates shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 9.04(b).

Section 9.05 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule, the exhibits hereto, the Confidentiality Agreement and the other documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof.

No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Party; provided that Parent may (i) assign any or all of its respective rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates or to any lender providing financing for the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its respective obligations hereunder; provided, however, in either case of clause (i) or (ii), Parent shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its respective obligations hereunder.

Section 9.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Where the terms of a contract or other item have been summarized or described in the Disclosure Schedule, such summary or description does not purport to be a complete statement of the material terms of such contract or other item, and, all such summaries and descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the contract or item being summarized and/or described. The information provided in the Disclosure Schedule is being provided solely for the purpose of making disclosures to Parent and Merger Sub under this Agreement. In disclosing this information, the Company does not waive, and expressly reserves any rights under, any attorney-client privilege associated with such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed therein.

(a)    In order to administer efficiently the determination and payment of the Merger Consideration (and any adjustment thereto pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof) and the defense and/or settlement of any claims or actions related to this Agreement, effective upon and by virtue of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, and without any further act of any of the Company Stockholders (provided the appointment contemplated by this Section 9.17(a) will be confirmed in the Stockholder Confirmations), the Representative is hereby irrevocably appointed

as the agent, attorney in fact and representative (with full power of substitution in the premises) of all of the Company Stockholders for all purposes under this Agreement, and, by its execution hereof, the Representative hereby accepts such appointment.

(b)    The Representative is authorized (and the Stockholder Confirmations will confirm that the Representative is authorized) (i) to take all action necessary in connection with the acceptance, rejection, determination and payment of the Merger Consideration (and any adjustment thereto pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof) and the defense and/or settlement of any claims or actions related to this Agreement, (ii) to give and receive all notices required to be given under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby to which all of the Company Stockholders are subject, and (iii) to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents as the Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power:

(i)    to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement and any amendments thereto as the representative of the Company Stockholders; to execute any instructions or directions to the Escrow Agent with respect to disbursements or other matters thereunder; to pay any expenses of the Company Stockholders or the Representative from the Adjustment Escrow Amount or the Representative Holdback Amount; and to take such further actions under the Escrow Agreement as the Representative deems to be necessary or appropriate;

(ii)    to execute and deliver all amendments, waivers, ancillary agreements, stock powers, certificates and documents that the Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii)    to execute and deliver all amendments and waivers to this Agreement that the Representative deems necessary or appropriate, whether prior to, at or after the Closing;

(iv)    to receive funds, make payments of funds, and give receipts for funds;

(v)    to receive funds for the payment of expenses of the Company Stockholders (including, without limitation, the Representative Holdback Amount), to deposit such funds in such accounts as the Representative deems appropriate and to apply such funds in payment for such expenses;

(vi)    to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Company Stockholders that the Representative deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as the Company Stockholders could do if personally present; and

(vii)    to receive service of process in connection with, and to defend and/or settle, any claims or actions under this Agreement.

(c)    The Representative requires that a portion of the Merger Consideration in an amount equal to the Representative Holdback Amount be withheld by (and deposited with) the Representative, on behalf of the Company Stockholders, to satisfy potential future obligations of the Company Stockholders; provided that the portion of the Representative Holdback Amount delivered to, and held by, the Representative on behalf of each Company Stockholder shall be determined according to the aggregate Per Share Portions represented by such Company Stockholder’s Company Stock and Options. The Representative Holdback Amount shall be retained by the Representative for such time as the Representative shall determine in its sole discretion; provided that the Representative shall not distribute any portion of the Representative Holdback Amount to the Company Stockholders until the earlier of (i) the six (6)-month anniversary of the Closing and (ii) if a relevant taxing authority of the PRC makes a final, non-appealable determination or assessment that the Merger is taxable under Public Notice 7 prior to such six (6)-month anniversary of the Closing, the date on which the Representative pays the applicable Tax so determined or assessed under Public Notice 7; provided, further that, notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 9.17(c), if a relevant taxing authority of the PRC makes a formal determination or assessment that the Merger is taxable under Public Notice 7 prior to the six (6)-month anniversary of the Closing and the Representative appeals such determination or assessment without paying the applicable Tax, the Representative shall not distribute any portion of the Representative Holdback Amount to the Company Stockholders until the date on which the Representative pays the applicable Tax determined or assessed under Public Notice 7 or the Representative’s appeal is ruled (in a final, non-appealable ruling) in the Representative’s favor. Any remaining amounts from the Representative Holdback Amount returned to the Company Stockholders shall be distributed to the Company Stockholders based upon the respective aggregate Per Share Portions represented by the Company Stock and Options held by each such Company Stockholder. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.17(c) shall limit the Representative’s obligations under Section 6.10(e).

(d)    If the Representative needs to make any payments to Option Holders following the Closing, Parent agrees to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to make such payments through the Company’s or such Subsidiaries’ payroll systems after the Company or such Subsidiary’s receipt from (or withholding of payment to) the Representative of an equivalent amount.

(e)    In the event that the Representative becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Company Stockholders (or, if applicable, their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns) who held a majority of the voting power represented by the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall select another representative to fill such vacancy, and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f)    All decisions, actions and instructions by the Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Company Stockholders, and no Company Stockholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. No Party or Company Stockholder shall have any cause of action against the Representative for any action

(g)    Parent and Merger Sub shall be able to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Representative as to the determination and payment of the Merger Consideration (and any adjustment thereto pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof) and any other actions taken by the Representative hereunder as the act of each Company Stockholder in all matters referred to herein, and no Party or Company Stockholder shall have any cause of action against Parent or Merger Sub for any action taken by Parent or Merger Sub in reliance upon the written instructions or decisions of the Representative.

(h)    The provisions of this Section 9.17 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Company Stockholder may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(i)    The provisions of this Section 9.17 shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each Company Stockholder, and any references in this Agreement to a Company Stockholder shall mean and include the successors to the rights of the Company Stockholders hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

(j)    All reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Representative in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Company Stockholders on a pro rata basis based on the respective aggregate Per Share Portions represented by the Company Stock and Options held by each such Company Stockholder; provided that the Representative shall first make payment of such fees and expenses from the Representative Holdback Amount and the Representative shall be authorized to withhold from any distribution from the Adjustment Escrow Account any amounts reasonably anticipated to be necessary to pay for such reasonable fees and expenses in excess of the Representative Holdback Amount.

(k)    The Company Stockholders shall severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Per Share Portions), indemnify and hold harmless the Representative from and against, compensate it for, reimburse it for and pay any and all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising out of and in connection with its activities as the Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby (“Representative Losses”), in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss was caused by Fraud by the Representative, the Representative shall reimburse the Company Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such Fraud. The Representative Losses shall be satisfied first from the Representative Holdback Amount and then, to the extent the amount of the Representative Losses exceeds amount available to Representative Holdback Amount, from the Company Stockholders, severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Per Share Portions).

Agreement, each Company Stockholder, hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Equity Agreements shall automatically terminate upon the Effective Time, except for those provisions of the Equity Agreements that survive such termination in accordance with their terms.

This Escrow Agreement, dated this [ ] day of [     ], 2018 (this “Escrow Agreement”), is entered into by and among Methode Electronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Industrial Growth Partners IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Representative”) (Parent and the Representative collectively the “Parties,” and each individually a “Party”), and Citibank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 20, 2018, by and among Parent, Flash Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Grakon Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Representative, as the representative of the Company Stockholders (the “Merger Agreement”).

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement provides, among other things, for the merger of the Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent.

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement provides for the delivery by Parent at the Closing to the Escrow Agent of $3,000,000 (the “Adjustment Escrow Amount”), to be held in a separate bank account designated in writing by the Escrow Agent (the “Adjustment Escrow Account”).

WHEREAS, the Adjustment Escrow Amount, as such amount is decreased or increased, including by the accumulation of Earnings (as defined below) pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, is referred to herein as the “Escrow Property.”

WHEREAS, the Parties agree to place in escrow the Adjustment Escrow Amount, and the Escrow Agent agrees to hold, invest and distribute the Escrow Property, in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and agreements of the Parties and the Escrow Agent and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties and the Escrow Agent agree as follows:

Section 1.1 Acceptance of Appointment as Escrow Agent. The Parties hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to act as escrow agent hereunder, and the Escrow Agent, by signing this Escrow Agreement, accepts such appointment and agrees to hold, invest and distribute the Escrow Property only in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement.

(b)    The Escrow Agent hereby agrees that it shall not distribute any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Account to any Person, except in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement.

(c)    The Escrow Property shall not be subject to lien or attachment by any creditor of any party hereto and shall not be available to, and shall not be used by, the Escrow Agent to set off any party hereto owing to the Escrow Agent in any other capacity.

(a)The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Property in the Adjustment Escrow Account in accordance with this Escrow Agreement. In the absence of joint written investment instructions from the Parties, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Property in one or more separate “non-interest-bearing transaction accounts” insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to the applicable limits. The Escrow Property shall at all times remain available for distribution as may be instructed in writing by the Parties in accordance with this Escrow Agreement. In the event the Escrow Property ever earns Earnings, the Parties shall treat whoever is entitled to such Earnings hereunder as the owner of the corresponding portion of the Escrow for tax purposes and shall attribute such Earnings to such person for tax reporting purposes (and the Parties shall provide written instruction to the Escrow Agent to such effect). In no instance shall the Escrow Agent have any obligation to provide investment advice of any kind. Any Earnings on the Escrow Property shall be retained by the Escrow Agent and reinvested in the Escrow Property and shall become part of the Escrow Property and be disbursed only in accordance with Section 1.4 of this Escrow Agreement.

(b)For purposes of this Escrow Agreement, “Earnings” means, with respect to the Escrow Property or any portion thereof on any particular date, the interest, dividends, gains and any other income earned on such amount from the date hereof through such date in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c)On a monthly basis, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Parent and the Representative a written statement setting forth the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account, all Earnings earned thereon and all distributions made therefrom, which statement shall be delivered to Parent and the Representative in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof.

(i)    If, on a net basis in accordance with Section 2.05(b) of the Merger Agreement, a payment is due to Parent pursuant Section 2.05(c) of the Merger Agreement, then, within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the amount of such payment due to Parent (the “Adjustment Amount”), the Representative and Parent shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to (x) pay to Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Adjustment Escrow Account to a bank account designated in writing by Parent, the lesser of (A) the Adjustment Amount and (B) the then-remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account, and (y) release to the Representative, for payment to the Company

Stockholders, by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Adjustment Escrow Account to a bank account designated in writing by the Representative, the balance remaining (if any) of the Adjustment Escrow Account (after any payment made to Parent from the Adjustment Escrow Account pursuant to clause (x) foregoing), including any Earnings thereon. The Escrow Agent shall pay or release the amounts described in this Section 1.4(a)(i) from the Adjustment Escrow Account no later than two (2) Business Days following delivery of such joint instruction.

(ii)    If, on a net basis in accordance with Section 2.05(b) of the Merger Agreement, a payment is due to the Representative pursuant to Section 2.05(d) of the Merger Agreement, then, within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the amount of such payment due to the Representative, the Representative and Parent shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release to the Representative, or upon written authorization by the Representative, to the designees specified by the Representative, for payment to the Company Stockholders, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Representative, the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account, including any Earnings thereon. The Escrow Agent shall release the amounts described in this Section 1.4(a)(ii) from the Adjustment Escrow Account no later than two (2) Business Days following delivery of such joint instruction.

(iii)    Following delivery of a final and binding determination of the Net Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 2.05(b) of the Merger Agreement (the “Determination”), if Parent and the Representative have not delivered joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent providing for the disbursement of the Adjustment Escrow Amount within five (5) Business Days following such Determination, then either Party shall be entitled to deliver to Escrow Agent a written certificate from a representative of the instructing Party who is authorized to sign in accordance with the procedures of Section 2.3, instructing Escrow Agent to deliver to Parent and/or the Representative, as applicable, the amount provided in such Determination, to the extent of the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account. Such certificate shall be accompanied by a true, correct and complete copy of the Determination and a written certificate from counsel for the instructing Party attesting that such Determination is final and binding in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any such instruction and the Determination and shall have no responsibility to make a determination as to whether such Determination is final and binding.

(iv)    If, at any time, either of the Parties receives a final non-appealable order of any court of competent jurisdiction which may be issued, together with (A) a certificate of the prevailing Party to the effect that such judgment is final and non-appealable and from a court of competent jurisdiction having proper authority and (B) the written payment instructions of the prevailing Party (such documents, a “Final Order”), then upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of a copy of such Final Order from any Party, the Escrow Agent shall (a) promptly deliver a copy of such Final Order to the other Party and (B) on the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt by the applicable Party from the Escrow Agent of the Final Order, disburse the portion of the Adjustment Escrow Account to be released pursuant to such Final Order to Parent and/or the Representative in accordance with such Final Order.

(c)Any amount paid to Parent (or a designee, successor or permitted assignee thereof), or released to the Representative (or a designee, successor or permitted assignee thereof), as applicable, in accordance with the terms hereof shall no longer be deemed a part of the Escrow Property or otherwise be subject to the provisions of this Escrow Agreement.

(d)Each Party hereby agrees that it will cooperate with the other Party and the Escrow Agent in good faith in executing any joint instructions in writing as reasonably required pursuant to this Section 1.4 and to ensure distributions of the Escrow Property to the relevant Party entitled thereto under the terms of the Merger Agreement.

(e)Any disbursement or release of the Escrow Property shall be made from the Adjustment Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent to Parent (or a designee, successor or permitted assignee thereof) or the Representative (or a designee, successor or permitted assignee thereof), as applicable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions specified in the joint written instructions provided by the Parties to the Escrow Agent.

Section 1.5 Income Tax Allocation and Reporting. The Escrow Agent shall be responsible for reporting any income earned with respect to the Escrow Property (if any) to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and any other applicable taxing authority, including on IRS Form 1099 (or other appropriate form). A properly completed IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8 for each of Parent and the Representative shall be provided to the Escrow Agent upon execution of this Agreement, to the extent required by applicable law. If such tax documentation is not provided to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may withhold any taxes required to be withheld by applicable law, and shall timely remit any such taxes to the appropriate authorities.

Section 1.6 Termination. Upon the disbursement of all of the Escrow Property, including any Earnings thereon, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, except that the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof shall survive termination.

Section 2.1 Scope of Responsibility. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no duties, including but not limited to any fiduciary duties, shall be implied.. Under no circumstances will the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable for the failure of either Party to perform in accordance with this Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding the terms of any other agreement between the Parties, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will control the actions of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document other than this Escrow Agreement, whether or not an original or a copy of such agreement has

been provided to the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to know or inquire as to the performance or nonperformance of any provision of any other agreement, instrument or document other than this Escrow Agreement. References in this Escrow Agreement to any other agreement, instrument or document are for the convenience of the Parties, and the Escrow Agent has no duties or obligations with respect thereto. This Escrow Agreement sets forth all matters pertinent to the escrow contemplated hereunder, and no additional obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be inferred or implied from the terms of this Escrow Agreement or any other agreement.

Section 2.2 Attorneys and Agents. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Escrow Agent in good faith in accordance with, the advice of outside counsel; provided that such action or inaction is not inconsistent with the terms of this Escrow Agreement or the obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed to the extent provided under Section 3.1 for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and other costs actually paid to one such outside counsel. The Escrow Agent may perform any and all of its duties through its agents, representatives, attorneys, custodians and/or nominees.

Section 2.3 Reliance. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the direction or consent of the Parties or their respective agents, representatives, successors or assigns. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any notice, request, consent, direction, requisition, certificate, order, affidavit, letter or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed and presented by the proper authorized person or persons on behalf of the applicable Party. Concurrently with the execution of this Escrow Agreement, the Parties have delivered to the Escrow Agent authorized signers’ forms in the form of Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 to this Escrow Agreement, in each case, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time with the written consent of the applicable Party.

Section 2.4 Right Not Duty Undertaken. The permissive rights of the Escrow Agent to do things enumerated in this Escrow Agreement shall not be construed as duties.

Section 2.5 No Financial Obligation. No provision of this Escrow Agreement shall require the Escrow Agent to risk or advance its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability or potential financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its rights under this Escrow Agreement.

Section 3.1 Indemnification. The Parties, severally and not jointly (i.e. one-half by Parent and one-half by the Representative), shall indemnify the Escrow Agent from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and out-of-pocket expense (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorney’s fees and expenses of one outside counsel) (collectively “Escrow Agent Losses”) which the Escrow Agent may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding brought against the Escrow Agent, arising out of or relating to this Escrow Agreement or any transaction to which this Escrow Agreement relates, in each case except to the

extent caused by the Escrow Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or material breach of this Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent any Escrow Agent Losses result from or are attributable to a Party’s failure to provide a fully executed applicable IRS Form W-8, W-9 and/or other required documentation pursuant to Section 1.5, such Party shall be solely responsible for indemnifying the Indemnitees for such Escrow Agent Losses to the extent attributable to such failure. The provisions of this Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

SECTION 3.2 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. THE ESCROW AGENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OTHER THAN DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES TO THE EXTENT ARISING FROM THE ESCROW AGENT’S BAD FAITH, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, FRAUD, OR MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR THE ESCROW AGENT BE LIABLE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE PARTY OR THE ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION IN WHICH SUCH DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT.

Section 3.3 Resignation or Removal. Subject to the remainder of this Section 3.3, the Escrow Agent may resign by furnishing a written notice of its resignation to the Parties, and the Parties may remove the Escrow Agent, with or without cause, by furnishing to the Escrow Agent a joint written notice of its removal along with payment of all fees and expenses to which it is entitled through the date of termination. Such resignation or removal, as the case may be, shall be effective thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice or upon the earlier appointment of a successor, and the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility thereafter shall be to safely keep the Escrow Property and to deliver the same to a successor escrow agent as shall be appointed by mutual agreement of the Parties, as evidenced by a joint written notice filed with the Escrow Agent, or in accordance with a court order. If the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days following the delivery of such notice of resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, no resignation by the Escrow Agent shall be effective prior to the appointment of a successor escrow agent. Upon appointment of the successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall forward all documents and the Escrow Property to the successor.

disagreement or dispute arises between, among or involving any of the parties hereto concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Escrow Agreement, or the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to retain the applicable portion of the Escrow Property until (i) such conflicting or adverse claims or demands shall have been determined by a final order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction or a final arbitration decision or settled by agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing executed by such parties, in which event the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with such final court order, judgment or decree or arbitration decision or agreement, or (ii) the Escrow Agent shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to it sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all losses which it may incur by reason of so acting. The Escrow Agent shall act on any such court order, judgment or decree or arbitration decision without further question.

(b)    The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the contents of any writing of the arbitrators or any third party contemplated herein as a means to resolve disputes and may conclusively rely without any liability upon the contents thereof.

Section 3.5 Compensation. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services as stated in the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B, which compensation shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Parent. The fee agreed upon for the services rendered hereunder is intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent’s services as contemplated by this Escrow Agreement. In the event that the Escrow Agent renders any service not contemplated in this Escrow Agreement as requested by the Parties, or there is any material expansion of the subject matter of the Escrow Agreement, or any material modification of the Escrow Agreement that requires additional services by the Escrow Agent, in each case, as agreed and directed by the Parties, then the Escrow Agent shall be compensated for such extraordinary services (which compensation shall be agreed to by each of the Parties and the Escrow Agent) and reimbursed for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses of one outside counsel, occasioned by any such extraordinary services.

Section 3.7 Attachment of Escrow Property; Compliance with Legal Orders. In the event that any Escrow Property shall be attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court order affecting the Escrow Property, the Escrow

Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to respond as it deems appropriate or to comply with all writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, or which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction; provided that the Escrow Agent shall provide a prior written notice thereof to the Parties as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such writ, order or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding that such writ, order or decree is subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

Section 3.8 Force Majeure. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligation under this Escrow Agreement to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; wars; acts of terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemic; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities or communications services; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental action; it being understood that in any such case the Escrow Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances and to mitigate the adverse impact of such circumstances.

The Escrow Agent shall not assign all or any portion of its rights or obligations under this Escrow Agreement without the prior written consent of the Parties, and any attempted assignment without the prior written consent of the Parties shall be null and void. To comply with federal law including requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, successors and permitted assigns of each Party shall provide to the Escrow Agent the appropriate IRS Forms W-9 or W-8, as applicable, and such other forms and documentation that the Escrow Agent may request to verify identification and authorization to act.

Section 4.2 Escheat. The Parties are aware that under applicable state law, property which is presumed abandoned may under certain circumstances escheat to the applicable state.
