In no event will the Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates have any responsibility or liability for the allocation of the Closing Payments or any others amounts among the Stockholders, Optionholders, Warrant Holders, creditor, lender, officer, service provider or any other Person, whether such allocation was made by the Company, the Company Board, the Sellers’ Representative, or any other representative of the Company.

2.9 Earn-Out.

If the Surviving Corporation’s 2020 GAAP Revenue exceeds $36,000,000, the Earn-Out shall equal the lesser of the amount of such excess and $3,000,000.

2.9.2 As used herein, 2020 GAAP Revenue means the Company’s revenue generated by the business of the Company on a stand-alone basis in ordinary course from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, all as calculated by the Surviving Corporation in accordance with GAAP.

Any dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions contained in this Agreement.

2.9.4 The Earn-Out will be paid within the earlier of 20 days after the date on which Sellers have accepted or are deemed to have accepted the Earn-Out calculations in accordance with Section 2.9.3 above.

2.9.5 During the period under which Sellers are entitled to receive the Earn-Out payment pursuant to this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor the Surviving Corporation shall (i) take any action with the specific intent and purpose of reducing the Earn-Out payment or the ability of the Surviving Corporation to achieve the revenue metrics set forth in Section 2.9.1, or (ii) take any action that Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation then knows would, or would reasonably be expected to, materially and adversely affect the ability of the Sellers to receive the Earn-Out payment or the Surviving Corporation to achieve the revenue metrics set forth in Section 2.9.1.

2.9.6 For accounting purposes, the Earn-Out shall be accounted for as additional Merger Consideration.

2.10 Payment Procedures.

2.10.1 Paying Agent. The Sellers have designated the Sellers’ Representative to act as the payments administrator (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of paying each Stockholder’s share of the Merger Consideration, to be allocated among the Stockholders in accordance with the Payment Schedule delivered to Purchaser by the Company pursuant to Section 2.7. The aggregate Per Share Closing Consideration payable to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.6.1, shall be paid at Closing to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Stockholders in accordance with the Payment Schedule, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing to the Purchaser by the Paying Agent prior to the Closing.

2.10.2 Reserved.

2.10.3 Following the Closing, the aggregate amount of the Closing Payment payable to such Stockholder in exchange for such holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-1 NV Preferred Stock and shall, within two (2) Business Days of the receipt by Paying Agent of any other distribution to the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement (including the Escrow Documents), deliver to such Stockholder such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of any such distribution as set forth on the Payment Schedule; provided, however, that to the extent that all such required documentation is provided to the Paying Agent at least two (2) Business Days before the Closing Date by a Stockholder, then Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall cause the Paying Agent to pay the aggregate share of the Closing Payment payable to such Stockholder in exchange for such holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series A-1 NV Preferred Stock on the Closing Date.

2.10.4 In the event of a conflict between the Payment Schedule and the provisions of this Agreement, the Payment Schedule (as may be adjusted upon the mutual agreement of the Company and Purchaser, if prior to or on the Closing Date, or the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser, if after the Closing Date, to correct any manifest errors) shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Company’s Organizational Documents, the Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Sellers’ Representative and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the Payment Schedule as conclusive evidence of amounts payable to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement.

2.10.5 Transfers of Ownership. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Capital Stock thereafter on the records of the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

2.10.6 Escheat. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation, the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent, the Sellers’ Representative nor any Seller shall be liable to any Person for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

2.10.7 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) contemporaneously with the Closing, the Company shall notify all its Stockholders who have not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing prior to the Effective Time, of their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, and (b) shares of Capital Stock (other than any such shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.6.2) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Stockholder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who properly demands appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, if such Section provides for appraisal rights for such shares in the Merger (any of such shares, “Dissenting Shares”), within 20 days (the “Final Dissent Date”) of receiving such written notice of appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration unless and until such Stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such Stockholder’s right to appraisal and payment under Section 262 of the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any such Stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses such Stockholder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such Stockholder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, to which such Stockholder is entitled, without interest thereon. As soon as practicable following the Final Dissent Date, if after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation to give the Sellers’ Representative (a) reasonably prompt written notice of any demands received by the Surviving Corporation for appraisal of Capital Stock pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Surviving Corporation prior to the Final Dissent Date that relates to such demand, and (b) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands after Closing, provided if the Surviving Corporation is solely responsible for such settlement payments and Purchaser waives in writing any rights against Sellers it may have under this Agreement in connection with such payment other than Purchaser’s rights under the Escrow Documents, the consent of the Sellers’ Representative will not be necessary.

2.11 Estimated Merger Consideration. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall estimate in good faith the amount of the Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital and Unpaid Selling Expenses, respectively, and shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate (the “Closing Certificate”) setting forth such estimates, together with its calculation of the Estimated Merger Consideration. As used herein, “Estimated Closing Cash,” “Estimated Closing Indebtedness,” “Estimated Closing Working Capital” and “Estimated Unpaid Selling Expenses” mean the estimates of the Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital and Unpaid Selling Expenses, respectively, set forth in the Closing Certificate and “Estimated Merger Consideration” means an amount equal to the Merger Consideration calculated as set forth herein, assuming for purposes of such calculation that the Closing Cash is equal to the Estimated Closing Cash, that the Closing Indebtedness is equal to the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, that the Closing Working Capital is equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital and that the Unpaid Selling Expenses are equal to the Estimated Unpaid Selling Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, adjustments shall be made to the Estimated Merger Consideration or the Merger Consideration with respect to the Estimated Closing Working Capital or the Closing Working Capital on a dollar for dollar basis if the Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than $0. The Closing Certificate shall (a) be prepared in accordance with GAAP and, except where inconsistent with GAAP, shall use the same accounting principles and practices the Company has used in the Financial Statements (b) be derived from the books and records (including the general ledgers) of the Company, and (c) properly reflect such books and records (including the general ledgers).

2.12 Reserved.

2.13 Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy. The Purchaser shall obtain the R&W Policy with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement in an amount to be agreed upon by the parties, and on terms reasonably acceptable to the parties, including that (i) the insurer shall have no, and shall waive and not pursue any and all subrogation rights against the Sellers except for fraud by the Sellers or the Company; (ii) the Sellers and the Purchasers are intended third party beneficiaries of such waiver; and (iii) neither party shall amend the R&W Policy in any manner adverse to the other party (including with respect to the subrogation provisions or the exclusion provisions) without the party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. All costs and expenses and other amounts incurred in connection with the R&W Policy, whether incurred prior to or after the Closing, shall be paid by the Purchaser.

2.14 Proceedings. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, all proceedings that will be taken and all documents that will be executed and delivered by the Parties on the Closing Date will be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously, and no proceedings will be deemed taken nor any document executed and delivered until all such proceedings have been taken, and all such documents have been executed and delivered.

2.15 Exemption from Registration. Subject to Section 2.16, the MTBC Warrant Shares and the MTBC Preferred Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger shall be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and, until such stock is registered pursuant to Section 2.16 may not be re-offered or resold other than in conformity with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other laws or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The certificates issued by the Purchaser with respect to such securities issued hereunder, or if no certificates shall be issued, book entry notations evidencing the securities issued hereunder, shall be legended to the effect described above and shall include such additional legends as necessary to comply with applicable U.S. federal securities laws, and Blue Sky laws. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all stockholders of the Company to execute such documents as the Purchaser may reasonably determine to be necessary to ensure that the securities to be issued in connection with the Merger are issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by reason of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

2.16 Resale Registration.

2.16.1 As soon as practicable after the completion of the CareCloud 2019 audit by BDO, the Purchaser shall (i) prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to) the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate form (the “Registration Statement”) to register the MTBC Preferred Shares, and the securities underlying the MTBC Warrants (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) under the Securities Act; and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter.

2.16.2 The Purchaser may postpone the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement if the Purchaser’s board of directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such registration would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate organization, financing, securities offering or other similar transaction involving the Purchaser; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Purchaser has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Purchaser unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act; provided that such postponement shall not extend for more than 30 consecutive days and shall not occur more than once in the following 90 day period, unless such postponement is due to circumstances outside of the Purchaser’s control.

2.16.3 In connection with any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities the Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to select the investment banker or bankers and managers to administer the offering, including the lead managing underwriter; provided that the selection of such investment banker or bankers and managers shall be subject to the approval of MTBC, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2.16.4 The Purchaser shall notify the Sellers’ Representative, promptly after the Purchaser receives notice thereof, of the time when such Registration Statement has been declared effective with the SEC.

2.16.5 The Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which the MTBC Warrant Shares and the MTBC Preferred Stock is then listed.

2.16.6 The Purchaser shall advise the Sellers’ Representative, promptly after it shall receive notice, of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued.

2.16.7 The Purchaser shall pay all expenses relating to the registration of the Registrable Securities, including fees relating to filings required to be made with, or the listing of any Registrable Securities on, any securities exchange or over-the-counter trading market on which the Registrable Securities are listed or quoted.

The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the date hereof, as follows, with each such representation and warranty subject to such exceptions, if any, as are set forth in the disclosure schedule of the Company (the “Disclosure Schedule”). Disclosures in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall not only address the corresponding Section or subsection of this Agreement, but also other Sections or subsections of this Agreement to the extent that it is readily apparent that such disclosure is applicable to such other Sections or subsections.

3.1 Existence and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the requisite entity power and authority and all Permits required to own, operate or lease the properties and assets now owned, operated or leased by it and to carry on its respective businesses as presently conducted. Schedule 3.1 sets forth each jurisdiction in which the Company is licensed or qualified to do business. The Company is duly licensed or qualified to conduct business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the properties owned or leased by it or the operation of its business as currently conducted makes such licensing or qualification necessary. The Company has made available to the Purchaser true and complete copies of its Organizational Documents. The Company is not in violation of any material provision of its Organizational Documents.

3.2 Authorization; Board Approval.

3.2.1 The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is or will be a party and, subject to, in the case of the consummation of the Merger, the adoption of this Agreement by the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of (i) majority of the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, voting together on an as-converted to Common Stock basis and (ii) a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, voting together on an as-converted to Common Stock basis (the “Requisite Company Vote”), to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Requisite Company Vote is the only vote or consent of the holders of any class or series of the Capital Stock necessary to approve and adopt this Agreement, approve the Merger, and consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which the Company is or will be a party has been or will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and once executed, will constitute a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). No other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, subject only, in the case of consummation of the Merger, to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote.

3.2.2 The Company Board, by resolutions duly adopted by unanimous vote at a meeting of all directors of the Company duly called and held, or by unanimous written consent in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL and, as of the date hereof, not subsequently rescinded or modified in any way, has, as of the date hereof (i) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable the “agreement of merger” (as such term is used in Section 251 of the DGCL) contained in this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, in accordance with the DGCL, (iii) directed that the “agreement of merger” contained in this Agreement be submitted to the Stockholders for adoption, and (iv) resolved to recommend that the Stockholders adopt the “agreement of merger” set forth in this Agreement and directed that such matter be submitted for consideration of the Stockholders at the meeting of the Stockholders.

3.2.3 Certain Stockholders will not receive, and none of the Optionholders and Warrant Holders will receive, any of the Closing Payments for their respective securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the allocation of the Closing Payments to be allocated to each of the Stockholders, Optionholders and Warrant Holders in exchange for their respective securities in the Company represents the fair value of those securities and is not less than the amount that each such security holder would reasonably expect to receive in an arm’s-length sale of the Company at its fair market value. There are no Stockholders that have informed the Company or the Company Board that they believe the allocation of the Closing Payments is unfair, and to the Knowledge of the Company, no Stockholder intends to exercise its appraisal rights under the DGCL in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of Purchaser included in the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects Purchaser’ financial position as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year end audit adjustments) which will not be material either individually or in the aggregate.

4.6 Litigation. There is no action, suit, arbitration, or administrative or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against or affecting the Purchaser, and the Purchaser is not subject to or bound by any Order, that would prevent or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or to otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which the Purchaser is or will be a party.

4.7 Finders’ Fees. There is no investment banker, broker, finder, or other intermediary that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof, who might be entitled to any fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. All amounts disclosed on Schedule 4.7 or required to be paid to the investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary identified thereon shall be paid by the Purchaser.

4.8 Activities of Merger Sub. Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the Merger. Merger Sub has not and will not prior to the Effective Time engage in any activities other than those contemplated by this Agreement and has, and will have as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, no liabilities other than those contemplated by this Agreement.

4.9 Financing. The Purchaser has, and will have on the Closing Date and at all times during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Closing Date, sufficient cash in hand that is available to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including to pay the Merger Consideration and the fees and expenses of the Purchaser related to the transactions contemplated hereby. There is no circumstance or condition that, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, individually or in the aggregate with all other circumstances or conditions, could reasonably be expected to prevent or substantially delay the availability of such funds at the Closing. The Purchaser acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are not contingent or conditioned in any manner on obtaining any financing.

4.10 Purchaser’s Investigation. The Purchaser is a highly sophisticated purchaser and has on its own and through its Representatives conducted its own comprehensive investigation, due diligence, review, and analysis regarding the Company, the Sellers, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Based on the Company’s representations herein, Purchaser and its Representatives believe that they have been provided with full and complete access to the Representatives, properties, offices, facilities, and books and records of the Company and all other information that they have requested in connection with Purchaser’s investigation of the Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

V. CERTAIN COVENANTS

5.1 Further Actions.

The Company shall promptly notify Purchaser of any inquiry or proposal received by the Company, the Sellers, Stockholders, or any Representative thereof with respect to any such Acquisition Transaction. The Company, the Sellers and their Representatives shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person other than the Purchaser in respect of any Acquisition Transaction.

5.5 Review of the Company. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give the Purchaser, directly or through its Affiliates or Representatives, full access to the operations, books, Tax returns and records of the Company to the extent the Purchaser deems it necessary or advisable to have such access.

5.6.2 [Reserved]

5.6.3 Each Party shall (i) give the other Parties prompt notice of the commencement of any investigation, inquiry, or legal proceeding by or before any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) keep the other Parties informed as to the status of any such investigation, inquiry, or legal proceeding and (iii) promptly inform the other Parties and provide them with copies of any communication to or from the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority regarding the transactions contemplated hereby.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the parties hereto shall, directly or indirectly, acquire (via merger, consolidation, stock or asset purchase, or otherwise), or agree to so acquire, any material amounts of assets of, or any equity in, any other Person or any business or division thereof, unless that acquisition or agreement could not reasonably be expected to (i) materially increase the risk of not obtaining any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any waiting periods relating to the filings subject to this Section 5.6; or (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an order prohibiting, preventing, limiting, restricting, delaying, or otherwise restraining the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or of not being able to remove, or have lifted or vacated, any such order on appeal or otherwise.

5.7 280G Covenant. To the extent required, prior to the Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to submit to the Stockholders, for approval (in a manner and with a disclosure document reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser) by a vote of such Stockholders as is required pursuant to Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “280G Stockholder Vote”), any such payments or other benefits that may, separately or in the aggregate, cause there to be “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “280G Payments”), such that, if the 280G Stockholder Vote is received approving the 280G Payments, such 280G Payments shall not cause there to be “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Prior to such 280G Stockholder Vote, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, from each person whom the Company reasonably believes to be with respect to the Company a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) and who might otherwise receive or have the right or entitlement to receive a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code, a written waiver pursuant to which such person agrees to waive any and all right or entitlement to such parachute payment, to the extent such payment would cause any payment not to be deductible pursuant to Section 280G of the Code. Such waivers shall cease to have any force or effect with respect to any item covered thereby to the extent the 280G Stockholder Vote for such item is obtained.

5.8 Written Consent; Information Statement. Following the execution and delivery of the Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to diligently solicit the written consent of the Stockholders approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including the Merger, in accordance with the Law and the Organizational Documents (the “Written Consent”). The Written Consent shall be accompanied by an information statement describing this Agreement, the Merger and the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL.

5.9 Employee Covenants. For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, (a) to each Continuing Employee his or her base salary, base wages and commissions that are comparable to what is provided or made available to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (b) Plans, programs, policies, and arrangements for Continuing Employees that are comparable in the aggregate as those provided under the applicable Plans, programs, policies, and arrangements of the Company and of the Purchaser in effect on the Closing Date for a period of twelve (12) months following the closing or until such time the Continuing Employee’s employment with Company terminates, whichever is sooner. Continuing Employees shall be deemed to have the same length of service for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and benefit accrual under each Plan, program, policy, or arrangement of the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as such Continuing Employee had with the Company on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date. In addition, Purchaser shall provide, or cause to be provided, each Continuing Employee whose employment terminates without cause during the six (6) month period following the Closing Date with severance benefits required under applicable law. For purposes of this section, “Continuing Employees” means each person who is an employee of the Company on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and who remains employed at the time of Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any severance obligations accruing prior to the Closing shall remain obligations of Sellers and shall not transfer to Purchaser. Moreover, all change of control payment obligations, if any, with respect to the Transactions (including those severance and change of control obligations to Company’s CEO), shall be payable solely by Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the employment of each Continuing Employee is terminable by the Company at will.

The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other document, certificate or instrument delivered by the Company or the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate at, and not survive, the Closing, and thereafter there will be no liability on the part of, nor will any claim be made by, any Party or any of their respective Affiliates in respect thereof. It is the express intent of the Parties that if the survival period of the representation and warranties is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise apply, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations shall be reduced to the survival period contemplated hereby. The Parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 7.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’-length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the parties.

7.2 Liability. No Seller or any of its Non-Party Affiliates shall have any liability under this Agreement with respect to claims for any inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any other document, certificate or instrument delivered by the Company or the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise and pursuant to any theory of liability, including in law or equity, except in the event of fraud or willful misconduct committed by such Seller or its Non-Party Affiliates.

7.3 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree that the sole and exclusive remedy for any claims (other than claims of fraud or willful misconduct against a party committing such fraud or willful misconduct) for any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement will be to recover from the R&W Policy.

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS.

8.1 Sellers’ Representative.

8.1.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any right or action that may be taken at the election of the Sellers will be taken by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf thereof. The Sellers’ Representative may resign upon 20 days’ written notice. Upon its resignation, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company Securities at any time prior to the Closing or, if after Closing, persons who held a majority of the voting power of the Company Securities at Closing, may designate a successor Sellers’ Representative, subject to the approval of the selection of the successor Sellers’ Representative by Purchaser, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

8.1.2 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any right or action that may be taken at the election of the Sellers will be taken by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers. By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, or by participating in the Merger and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with such transactions, each of the Sellers hereby irrevocably appoints (except if, and only if, a successor Sellers’ Representative is appointed pursuant to Section 8.1.1 by the requisite vote of the relevant holders of Company Securities) the Sellers’ Representative (and any successor chosen as Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 8.1.1) as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of each of the Sellers for the purposes of acting in the name and stead of such Seller and for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto, including: (a) giving and receiving all notices permitted or required by this Agreement and acting on the Sellers’ behalf hereunder for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto; (b) employing legal counsel on behalf of the Sellers; (c) paying any legal, accounting, investment banking, or any other fees and expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative on the Sellers’ behalf in consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (d) prosecuting, defending or settling claims arising under this Agreement; and (e) making, executing, acknowledging, and delivering all such Contracts, Orders, receipts, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, letters, and other writings, and in general doing all things and taking all actions, which the Sellers’ Representative in its sole discretion, may consider necessary or proper in the best interests of the Sellers in connection with or to carry out the terms of this Agreement, as fully as if such Sellers were personally present and acting. This power of attorney and all authority conferred hereby is granted and conferred in consideration of those interests and for the purpose of completing the transactions contemplated hereby, and this power of attorney and all authority conferred hereby shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by the Sellers or by operation of Law, whether by the termination of the Sellers’ Representative or by the occurrence of any other event. If any Seller who is an individual should die or become incompetent or incapacitated, any Seller that is a legal entity should be dissolved, liquidated, or wound up, or any other similar event should occur before the delivery of certificates or other instruments of transfer representing shares of Capital Stock pursuant to this Agreement, such certificates and instruments shall nevertheless be delivered by or on behalf of such Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and all actions taken by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement shall be as valid as if such death, incompetence, incapacity, dissolution, termination, winding up, or other similar event had not occurred, regardless of whether the Purchaser or the Sellers’ Representative has received notice of such death, incompetence, incapacity, dissolution, termination, winding up, or other similar event.

8.1.3 The Sellers’ Representative will incur no liability of any kind to the Sellers with respect to any action or omission by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with the Sellers’ Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Sellers’ Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Sellers will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Sellers’ Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative will reimburse the Sellers the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Sellers’ Representative by the Sellers, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Sellers’ Representative from the Escrow Fund at such time as remaining amounts are distributed to the Sellers; provided, that while this section allows the Sellers’ Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Sellers from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Sellers’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Sellers’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Sellers or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Sellers set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Sellers’ Representative under this section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Sellers’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

8.1.4 [Reserved]

8.1.5 Upon the Closing, the Purchaser shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Sellers’ Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller by Sellers’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller by Sellers’ Representative, as being fully binding upon such Person. Notices or communications to or from Sellers’ Representative after Closing shall constitute notice to or from each of the Sellers. After Closing, any decision or action by Sellers’ Representative hereunder, including any agreement between Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims for indemnification hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Person. No Seller shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same.

8.1.6 The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successor trustees, and successors of each Seller, and any references in this Agreement to a Seller shall mean and include the successors to such Seller’s rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

8.2 Expenses. The Purchaser will pay or cause to be paid the fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser (and its Affiliates) in connection with (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or relating to the negotiation, preparation, or execution of this Agreement or any documents or agreements contemplated by this Agreement (including the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent); and (ii) the performance or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all expenses of the Paying Agent, whether incurred before, on or after the Closing, and all such expenses incurred by the Company on or prior to the Closing, whether or not assumed by the Surviving Corporation by operation or law, shall remain the sole responsibility of the Sellers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Section 8.2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

8.3 Press Release and Announcements. No press releases related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be issued or released without the consent of the Purchaser and the Company.
