          Section 1. Party to the Agreement. Each of the LLCs hereby agrees to become a party to the Stock Purchase Agreement as a “Shareholder” thereunder, effective as of the date hereof, and to be bound by, and subject to, all of the representations, covenants, agreements, terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement that are applicable to a Shareholder, and to be entitled to all the rights and benefits of such a party under the Stock Purchase Agreement, in each case as if a signatory directly thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the LLCs, by executing this Joinder Agreement, is (a) making the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Stock Purchase Agreement as a Shareholder (provided that such representations and warranties are being made by each such LLC as of the date hereof, and provided further that in the case of the representation and warranty of each LLC pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Stock Purchase Agreement, such representation and warranty is being made by such LLC as of immediately prior to the Closing) and (b) agreeing to be bound by, and subject to, all of the covenants and agreements set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement applicable to a Shareholder. Execution and delivery of this Joinder Agreement by each of the LLCs shall constitute execution and delivery by it of the Stock Purchase Agreement, without further action of any party. Each of the LLCs hereby acknowledges that the Stock Purchase Agreement provides for the escrow, in accordance with an escrow agreement as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, of a portion of the proceeds otherwise payable by Buyer to each Shareholder in exchange for such Shareholder’s shares of Company Stock. Each of the LLCs hereby (i) appoints Craig Ketchum to serve as each such LLC’s agent in selling such LLC’s Company Stock to Buyer and (ii) grants Craig Ketchum an irrevocable power of attorney to sell such LLC’s Company Stock to Buyer pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

Each of the Former Shareholders hereby represents and warrants that the Restructurings, including without limitation the direct and indirect transfers of Company Stock from the Former Shareholders to the LLCs acquiring such Company Stock, as described in third “Whereas” clause above, do not (a) violate any Law or Order to which such Former Shareholder is subject, result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance upon the Company Stock formerly held of record or beneficially owned by such Former Shareholder, or require such Former Shareholder to give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent or approval of, any Person.
