1.8 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Effect on Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has made and perfected a demand for appraisal of such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and as of the Closing has neither effectively withdrawn nor lost such holder’s right to such appraisal (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the applicable Merger Consideration, but shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by the DGCL. Parent shall be entitled to retain any Merger Consideration not paid on account of such Dissenting Shares pending resolution of the claims of such holders, and the Effective Time Holders shall not be entitled to any portion of such retained Merger Consideration.

(b) Loss of Dissenting Share Status. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.8(a), if any holder of shares of Company Capital Stock who demands appraisal of such holder’s shares under the DGCL shall effectively withdraw or lose (through the failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s right to appraisal, then as of the Closing or the occurrence of such event, whichever occurs later, such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock shall automatically be converted into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, promptly following the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Company Capital Stock.

(c) Notice of Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal of shares of Company Capital Stock received by the Company, withdrawals of any demands, and any other instruments or notices served or otherwise delivered pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands for appraisal or other instruments or notices. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of shares of Company Capital Stock or offer to settle any such demands.

1.9 Exchange of Certificates and Payment.

(a) Paying Agent. On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to pay the cash consideration payable to Effective Time Holders pursuant to Sections 1.5(a) and 1.6 (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnity Escrow Amount, the Adjustment Escrow Amount and the portion of the Accelerable Escrow Deposit associated with Effective Time Holders who have not delivered Joinder Agreements, Warrant Surrender Agreements and/or Option Termination Agreements to the Parent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, as the case may be, all of which Escrow Amounts shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent, and the Expense Fund, which shall be deposited with the Securityholders’ Agent). The cash amount so deposited with the Paying Agent is referred to as the “Payment Fund.” The Paying Agent will be instructed to invest the funds included in the Payment Fund in the manner directed by Parent and shall be held in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Paying Agent Agreement. Any interest or other income resulting from the investment of such funds shall be the property of, and will be paid to, Parent.

(b) Letter of Transmittal; Warrant Surrender Agreements. Promptly, but in any event within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail (with a copy sent by email, if available) to each Person who is a record holder of Outstanding Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and who has not previously delivered a Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent: (i) a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (a “Letter of Transmittal”); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the exchange of Company Stock Certificates for the Merger Consideration, if any, payable with respect to such shares of Company Capital Stock.

stock certificate as described in Section 1.9(e)), together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as Parent or the Paying Agent may reasonably request, the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall, subject to Section 1.9(h), if applicable, be entitled to receive in exchange therefor cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration, if any, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.5(a) at the time of such surrender, and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. From and after the Effective Time, each Company Stock Certificate which prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Capital Stock shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, if any, payable with respect to such shares, and the holder of each such Company Stock Certificate shall cease to have any rights with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby. Promptly following the Effective Time, each holder of a Company Warrant who has executed and delivered the applicable Warrant Surrender Agreement shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration, if any, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.6.

(c) Payments. (i) On the Closing Date for each holder of Company Capital Stock who has delivered a duly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent prior to the Closing Date and (ii) within three (3) Business Days following the delivery of the Letter of Transmittal for each holder of Company Capital Stock that delivers a duly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent after to the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be paid by the Paying Agent to each such holder of Company Capital Stock the consideration specified in Section 1.5, without interest. If payment of Merger Consideration in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock converted pursuant to Section 1.5 is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name a surrendered Company Stock Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Company Stock Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Stock Transfer Books. As of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall not be any further registration of transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, certificates for shares of Outstanding Capital Stock (“Company Stock Certificates”) are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration, if any, payable with respect to such shares as provided for in Section 1.5. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of a Company Stock Certificate.

(e) Lost Certificates. In the event any Company Stock Certificate representing shares of Outstanding Capital Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of any Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Paying Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any affiliated party with respect to such Company Stock Certificate, provided that no Stockholder shall be required to deliver a bond in respect of such Company Stock Certificates.

(f) Undistributed Payment Funds. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to Effective Time Holders as of the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of this Agreement shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and Effective Time Holders who have not theretofore received their Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5 and 1.6 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for the Merger Consideration.

(g) Escheat. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Parent nor any other Person shall be liable to any Effective Time Holder or to any other Person for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar applicable Legal Requirement. Any Merger Consideration or other amounts remaining unclaimed by Effective Time Holders five (5) years after the Effective Time for payments to be made in connection with the Closing or such other relevant payment date for Further Distributions (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of Parent free and clear of any Encumbrance.

(h) Withholding. Each of the Paying Agent, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to (1) deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement (including all amounts to be deposited into the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 1.5(c)) such amounts as Parent is required to deduct or withhold under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law and (2) be provided any reasonably requested Tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) or the appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or successor form), as applicable, or any similar information from the Effective Time Holder and, to the extent required by applicable Tax Legal Requirements, any beneficial owner of any interest in any of the Effective Time Holder. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person on behalf of which such deduction or withholding was made. Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation will cooperate in good faith, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Paying Agent to agree in the Paying Agent Agreement that it will cooperate in good faith, with reasonable written requests from any Effective Time Holder concerning reduction of or relief from potential deduction or withholding of Tax; provided that such Effective Time Holder shall be responsible for any and all costs and expenses that may be incurred by the Paying Agent, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation; and provided further for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this Section 1.9(h) shall be construed in any way as undermining the ability of the Paying Agent, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation to make such deduction or withholding, have such amount be treated as paid to the Person on behalf of which such deduction or withholding was made or otherwise limit any rights of any Indemnitee as set forth in Sections 6 and 10.

(b) Review/Disputes.

(i) From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall provide the Securityholders’ Agent and any accountants, attorneys or advisors retained by the Securityholders’ Agent with reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the relevant books and records of the Surviving Corporation used by Parent in the preparation of,

If the Securityholders’ Agent disputes the calculation of the Net Working Capital Amount or the Closing Net Indebtedness Amount set forth in the Parent Closing Balance Sheet or the Parent Closing Date Schedule, then the Securityholders’ Agent shall deliver a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Parent at any time during the thirty (30) day period commencing upon receipt by the Securityholders’ Agent of the Parent Closing Balance Sheet and the Parent Closing Date Schedule (the “Review Period”). The Dispute Notice shall set forth the basis for the dispute of any such calculation in reasonable detail.

(ii) If the Securityholders’ Agent does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Surviving Corporation’s calculation of the Net Working Capital Amount and the Closing Net Indebtedness Amount set forth in the Parent Closing Balance Sheet and the Parent Closing Date Schedule shall be deemed final and binding on Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Securityholders’ Agent and the Effective Time Holders for purposes of this Section 1.10.

(iii) If the Securityholders’ Agent delivers a Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Securityholders’ Agent and Parent shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the Net Working Capital Amount and/or the Closing Net Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, within the thirty (30) day period commencing upon receipt by Parent of the Dispute Notice. If the Securityholders’ Agent and Parent are unable to reach agreement on the Net Working Capital Amount and the Closing Net Indebtedness Amount within such thirty (30) day period, then either Parent or the Securityholders’ Agent may submit the unresolved objections to KPMG LLP, or if such accounting firm is unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, an independent, national accounting firm reasonably acceptable to both Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent (such firm, and any successor thereto, being referred to herein as the “Accounting Firm”), and such Accounting Firm shall be directed by Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent to resolve the unresolved objections in accordance with the immediately following sentence. In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Accounting Firm: (A) each of Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Accounting Firm to provide their views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of the Net Working Capital Amount and the Closing Net Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, (B) the Accounting Firm shall determine the Net Working Capital Amount and the Closing Net Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, within thirty (30) days of its engagement) and upon reaching such determination shall deliver a copy of its calculations (the “Expert Calculations”) to the Securityholders’ Agent and Parent and (C) the determination made by the Accounting Firm of the Net Working Capital Amount and the Closing Net Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, shall be final and binding on Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Securityholders’ Agent and the Effective Time Holders for purposes of this Section 1.10, absent manifest error. In calculating the Net Working Capital Amount and the Closing Net Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, the Accounting Firm (x) shall be limited to addressing the particular disputes referred to in the Dispute Notice and (y) for each component of the Net Working Capital Amount and the Closing Net Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, such calculation shall, with respect to any disputed item, be no greater than the higher amount calculated by the Securityholders’ Agent or Parent, and no less than the lower amount calculated by the Securityholders’ Agent or Parent, as the case may be. The Expert Calculations shall reflect in detail the differences, if any, between the Net Working Capital Amount and the Closing Net Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, reflected therein and the Net Working Capital Amount and the Closing Net Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, set forth in the Parent Closing Balance

(i) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to calculate, and shall cause its outside auditors to complete a review of, the Company Net Revenue of the Surviving Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2017 no later than February 15, 2018. Upon completion of such review, Parent shall deliver to the Securityholders’ Agent a certificate (the “Company Net Revenue Earnout Certificate”) stating the auditor-reviewed Company Net Revenue for the Surviving Corporation for calendar years 2016 and 2017 and setting forth the calculation of the Company Net Revenue Earnout Payment in reasonable detail, together with reasonable supporting information.

(ii) The Securityholders’ Agent and its representatives and advisers shall be entitled to examine and have reasonable access to the books, records and supporting information of Parent and the Surviving Corporation relating to the calculation of the Company Net Revenue Earnout Payment.

Agent does not submit an Earnout Calculation Notice within the 30-day period provided herein, then the Company Net Revenue Earnout Certificate shall become final and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment, absent fraud or manifest error. Parent and its accountants shall be entitled to review the working papers and similar materials relating to the Securityholders’ Agent preparation of its Earnout Calculation Notice. If Parent shall concur with the Earnout Calculation Notice, or if Parent shall not object to the Earnout Calculation Notice in a writing received by the Securityholders’ Agent within 30 days after Parent’s receipt of the Earnout Calculation Notice, the calculation of the Company Net Revenue Earnout Payment set forth in the Earnout Calculation Notice shall become final and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment, absent fraud or manifest error.

(iii) In the event that the Securityholders’ Agent and Parent are unable to resolve any disputes regarding the Company Net Revenue Earnout Payment within 30 days after the date of Parent’s objection to the Earnout Calculation Notice, then such disputes shall be referred to the Accounting Firm and the determination of the Accounting Firm shall be final and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment, absent fraud or manifest error. The Accounting Firm shall determine the Earnout Amount and shall be instructed by Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent to use their reasonable best efforts to reach such determination not more than 30 days after such referral. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the Accounting Firm to resolve any item in dispute by making an adjustment to the Company Net Revenue Earnout Certificate that is outside of the range for such item defined by the Company Net Revenue Earnout Certificate and the Earnout Calculation Notice. In calculating the Company Net Revenue Earnout Payment, the Accounting Firm shall be limited to addressing any particular disputes referred to in the Earnout Calculation Notice. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by the prevailing party and non-prevailing party, as determined by the Accounting Firm, in inverse proportion with the extent to which the prevailing party prevails on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute.

(iv) If such calculation results in a Company Net Revenue Earnout Payment being payable to the Effective Time Holders, then within three (3) Business Days following the final determination of the Company Net Revenue Earnout Payment in accordance with this Section 1.11(a), Parent shall pay, or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, the Company Net Revenue Earnout Payment to the Effective Time Holders in accordance with Section 1.11(c).

with commercially reasonable business and accounting practices and in a manner necessary for the Surviving Corporation to calculate Company Net Revenue for calendar years 2016 and 2017, and (F) not take (or fail to take) any action the primary intent or purpose of which is avoiding, frustrating or reducing the amount of the Company Net Revenue Earnout Payment.

(vi) Subject to the limitations at the end of this Section 1.11 (a)(vi), in addition to the definition of Company Net Revenue in Exhibit A, for purposes of determining Company Net Revenue and the Company Net Revenue Earnout Payment: (A) any revenue recognized by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, including the Surviving Corporation, resulting from the acquisition, development or sale of a product that is competitive with GeneSight testing shall be treated as Company Net Revenue generated from the sale of the GeneSight testing; (B) any revenue recognized by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, including the Surviving Corporation, resulting from the sale of any product other than GeneSight testing generated by or attributable to sales personnel of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries shall be treated as Company Net Revenue generated from the sale of the GeneSight testing; and (C) any GeneSight testing revenue shall be treated as Company Net Revenue. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (x) any GeneSight sales revenue or other revenue generated by or attributable to sales personnel of Parent or its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) in calendar year 2016 shall not be treated as Company Net Revenue; and (y) any GeneSight testing revenue generated by or attributable to sales personnel of the Parent, or any Subsidiary of Parent other than Surviving Corporation, to health care providers in family or internal medicine practices (“Primary Care Providers”) who are not customers of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Date or who are not being actively pursued or targeted as a customer by the Surviving Corporation within 45 days after either (i) an expansion of the Medicare Local Coverage Determination to include Primary Care Providers or (ii) other coverage decisions by additional payers that provide reimbursement for tests ordered by Primary Care Providers shall not be treated as Company Net Revenue.

(i) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Surviving Corporation to complete the Company’s ongoing prospective clinical utility study (ID Number ARX1006) (the “Study”) in accordance with the study design in effect on the date hereof. If the Surviving Corporation achieves the main conclusion of the primary endpoint for the Study, which shall mean a statistically significant (p value < .05) improvement (i.e., the main conclusion calculated in accordance with the first paragraph of Section 5.1 of the statistical analysis plan attached hereto as Schedule 1.11(b), subject to Section 1.11(b)(ii) below) in depressive symptoms between baseline and week 8 as measured on the Hamilton D17 scale for GeneSight-guided treatment versus treatment-as-usual (the “Milestone”), Parent shall pay or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to the Effective Time Holders an amount equal to the difference between (i) $100 million in cash (the “Milestone Earnout Payment”) and (ii) any amounts paid pursuant to the Post-Closing Date Transaction Bonuses (including the employer portion of any payroll taxes thereon) and payable as a result of achievement of the Company Milestone Earnout Payment, which amount shall be paid within three (3) Business Days following the successful achievement of the Milestone. For avoidance of doubt, (x) only successful achievement of the “main conclusion” of the primary endpoint described in the first paragraph of Section 5.1 of the statistical analysis plan attached hereto as Schedule 1.11(b) shall constitute successful achievement of the Milestone that gives rise to an obligation to pay the Milestone Earnout Payment and (y) successful achievement of any “additional analyses” of the primary endpoint described in the second paragraph of Section 5.1 of

the statistical analysis plan attached hereto as Schedule 1.11(b) shall neither constitute successful achievement of the Milestone nor give rise to an obligation to pay the Milestone Earnout Payment.

In addition, the complete and final analyzable final data file(s) containing all the information needed to execute this analysis except for the indicator for the treatment group will be locked and submitted to Parent at least five (5) Business Days before data un-blinding. Immediately after un-blinding, the complete and final analyzable final data file(s), containing all the information needed to execute this analysis will be submitted to Parent. Each of the Company Net Revenue Earnout Payment and the Milestone Earnout Payment are referred to herein as an “Earnout Payment” and together as the “Earnout Payments.” From the Effective Time through the completion of the Study, Parent will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation to, (A) continue the separate existence of the Surviving Corporation as a stand-alone business, (B) provide sufficient funding, staffing and resources for the Surviving Corporation to achieve a full read-out no later than November 1, 2017 and (C) not take (or fail to take) any action the primary purpose or intent of which is avoiding, frustrating or reducing the Surviving Corporation’s ability to achieve the Milestone.

(ii) Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall mutually agree on the method of primary efficacy analysis pursuant to Section 5.1 of Schedule 1.11(b) (either parametric or non-parametric). In the event that Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent are unable to agree on such method within thirty (30) days, then such dispute shall be referred to an independent third party mutually agreeable to Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent. The determination of such third party shall be final and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment, absent fraud, conflict of interest, or manifest error.

(c) Additional Escrow Deposit; Payment Procedures. When any Earnout Payment becomes due and payable, Parent shall pay, or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, 8% of the amount of such Earnout Payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Indemnity Escrow and pay the balance of such Earnout Payment to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Effective Time Holders in accordance with Sections 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7; provided, however, that no such deposit into the Indemnity Escrow shall be required if an Earnout Payment is made more than eighteen (18) months following the Effective Time unless the amounts subject to Continuing Claims exceed the amount then held in the Indemnity Escrow, in which case Parent shall deposit into the Indemnity Escrow the lesser of (x) 8% of such Earnout Payment and (y) the amount by which the amounts subject to Continuing Claims exceed the amount then held in the Indemnity Escrow.

to a possible Acquisition Transaction. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of receipt thereof) notify Parent orally and in writing of any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request for non-public information relating to a possible Acquisition Transaction that is received by any Acquired Company during the Pre-Closing Period, which notice shall include: (i) the identity of the Person making or submitting such inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request, and the terms and conditions thereof; and (ii) an accurate and complete copy of all written materials provided in connection with such inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request).

Unless Parent provides an Election Notice to the Company, the Company shall deliver to Parent, prior to the Closing Date, evidence that the Company’s board of directors has validly adopted resolutions to terminate the 401(k) Plan (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent), effective no later than the date immediately preceding the Closing Date.

In the event that the distributions of assets from the trust of a 401(k) Plan which is terminated is reasonably anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges, or other fees to be imposed upon the account of any participant or beneficiary of such terminated plan or upon any Company or plan sponsor, then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent prior to the Effective Time.

Parent shall cause the D&O Tail Policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation. Following the Effective Time, Parent shall not take any steps, including the appointment of a different broker, that would prevent the Incumbent Brokerage from representing the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ for the purposes of the D&O Tail Policy and any claims related thereto throughout the term of the D&O Tail Policy.

4.7 Director and Officer Liability. Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation, expense advancement and indemnification for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time existing as of the date of this Agreement in favor of the individuals who on or prior to the Effective Time were the current and former directors and officers of any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their predecessors in all of their capacities (including as a stockholder, controlling or otherwise) or who were serving at the request of any Acquired Company as an officer or director of any other corporation, partnership or joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, including, in each case, the heirs, executors, trustees, fiduciaries and administrators of any

In addition, for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall not, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries not to, amend, repeal or otherwise modified in any manner that is less favorable to any Indemnified D&O in any material respect the Charter Documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries in effect immediately following the Effective Time.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, but subject to the remainder of this Section 5.1, each party to this Agreement: (x) shall make all filings (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given to any party to any Contract in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (y) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) required to be obtained pursuant to any applicable Contract by such party in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that no party to this Agreement or any of its Affiliates shall be required to compensate any Person or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Person in connection therewith; provided, further, that neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, shall, without Parent’s prior written consent, grant any waiver, make any concession or otherwise amend or alter in any material respect any terms of any Contract in order to obtain any Consent. The Company shall promptly upon its receipt make available to Parent copies of any and all substantive correspondence between the Company or any of its Affiliates and the party to any such Contract (or its agents) relating to any such Consent of the transactions contemplated hereby.

As promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall, in accordance with its Charter Documents and applicable Legal Requirements, provide to its stockholders an Information Statement and other appropriate documents in connection with the obtaining of: (i) written consents of the stockholders of the Company in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and approval of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) waivers by the stockholders of the Company of their appraisal rights in connection with the Merger. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such written consents and waivers from holders of all of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Information Statement and any other materials submitted to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to prior review and reasonable approval by Parent and its advisors.

(b) Parachute Payments. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to the stockholders of the Company (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Parent), for approval by stockholders of the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, a written consent in favor of a single proposal to render the parachute payment provisions of Section 280G inapplicable to any and all payments or benefits that could reasonably be deemed to result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any amount or the provision of any benefit that would, in the absence of such stockholder approval, constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (together, the “Section 280G Payments”). The Company agrees that (i) prior to soliciting such stockholder approval, the Company shall deliver to Parent waivers duly executed by each Person who could reasonably be deemed to be entitled to receive any Section 280G Payment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, of such Person’s rights to some or all of the Section 280G Payments; and (ii) for each such Person. in the absence of such stockholder approval, no Section 280G

Payments shall be made. The form and substance of all stockholder approval documents contemplated by this Section 5.2(b), including the waivers, shall be subject to the prior review and reasonable approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonable delayed or withheld.

5.3 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Prior to the Closing: (a) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 7 to be satisfied on a timely basis; and (b) Parent and Merger Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.9 to be satisfied on a timely basis.

5.4 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of one year following the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to, maintain for employees who continue in the employ of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) following the Closing Date (the “Continuing Employees”) (i) base salary or wage rate no less favorable than those provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) annual cash incentive compensation that is no less favorable than the cash incentive opportunities provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates (excluding the Continuing Employees), and (ii) (A) through December 31, 2016, welfare benefits that are no less favorable than the compensation and benefits provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing, and (B) after December 31, 2016, welfare benefits that are substantially comparable to the other compensation and benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates (excluding the Continuing Employees), but excluding equity compensation. This Section 5.4 shall not limit the obligation of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to maintain any compensation arrangement or benefit plan that, pursuant to an existing contract or applicable law, must be maintained for a period longer than one year. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of continued employment of any Continuing Employee and this Agreement shall not be construed so as to prohibit Parent or any of its Subsidiaries from having the right to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee, provided that any such termination is effected in accordance with applicable law.

(b) From and after the Closing, Parent shall give each Continuing Employee full credit for all purposes (including for purposes of eligibility to participate, level of benefits, early retirement eligibility and early retirement subsidies, vesting and benefit accrual) under any employee benefit plans, arrangements, collective agreements and employment-related entitlements (including under any applicable pension, 401(k), savings, medical, dental, life insurance, vacation, long-service leave or other leave entitlements, post-retirement health and life insurance, termination indemnity, severance or separation pay plans) provided, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries for such Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and with any predecessor employer, to the same extent recognized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing, except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under applicable law, Parent shall not be required to provide credit for such service for benefit accrual purposes under any employee benefit plan of Parent that is a defined benefit pension plan.

(c) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive for each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents, any waiting period provision, payment requirement to avoid a waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement and any other restriction that would prevent immediate or full participation under the welfare plans of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries applicable to such Continuing Employee to the extent such waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement or other restriction would not have been applicable to

such Continuing Employee under the terms of the welfare plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) give full credit under the welfare plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries applicable to each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents for all co-payments and deductibles satisfied prior to the Closing in the same plan year as the Closing, and for any lifetime maximums, as if there had been a single continuous employer.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall (i) be construed as an amendment or other modification of any Acquired Company Employee Plan, (ii) give any third party any right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or (iii) limit the right of Parent, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Acquired Company Employee Plan.

(e) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Closing Date Transaction Bonuses and Post-Closing Date Transaction Bonuses in accordance with the terms of the Equity Transition Plan.

5.5 Provision Respecting Legal Representation; Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that Latham & Watkins LLP and Thompson Hine LLP may serve as counsel to each and any Effective Time Holder and such Effective Time Holder’s respective Affiliates (individually and collectively, the “Holder Group”), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Existing Representation”), and that, following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Latham & Watkins LLP (or any successor) and/or Thompson Hine LLP (or any successor) may serve as counsel to the Holder Group or any director, member, partner, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Holder Group, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any such representation, a “Post-Closing Representation”) notwithstanding the Existing Representation, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each of such parties shall cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from the Existing Representation.

(b) From and after the Closing, Parent waives and hereby agrees not to control or assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) to waive and to not control or assert, any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or other similar privilege or protection applicable to, or any expectation of client confidence with respect to, (i) any communication between any legal counsel (including Latham & Watkins LLP and/or Thompson Hine LLP), on the one hand, and the Holder Group, on the other hand, regarding the negotiation, execution, and delivery of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any Post-Closing Representation (other than any Third-Party Claim), or (ii) any other advice given to the Holder Group by Latham & Watkins LLP and/or Thompson Hine LLP, occurring during the Existing Representation in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute between the Holder Group and one or more of Parent and its Affiliates (the items listed in clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Specified Privileges”), it being the intention of the parties hereto that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.1 or Section 1.2 hereof or Section 259 of the DGCL, the right to waive, assert and otherwise control such Specified Privileges in any Post-Closing Representation (other than any Third Party Claim) shall be (and are hereby) transferred to or retained by (as applicable), and vested solely in, the Holder Group, and shall not pass to or be claimed or used by Parent, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 5.5(b). Furthermore, Parent (on behalf of itself and its

Affiliates) acknowledges and agrees that any advice given to or communication with the Holder Group shall not be subject to any joint privilege (whether or not the Company also received such advice or communication) and shall be owned solely by the Holder Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent or the Company, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Holder Group, on the other hand, the Company shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) assert the Specified Privileges on behalf of the Holder Group to prevent disclosure of Privileged Materials to such third party; provided, however, that such privilege may be waived only with the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Agent.

(c) All such Specified Privileges, and all books and records and other documents of the Company containing any advice or communication that is subject to any Specified Privileges (“Privileged Materials”), shall be excluded from the Merger, and shall be distributed to the Securityholders’ Agent (on behalf of the Holder Group) immediately prior to the Closing with (in the case of such books and records) no copies retained by the Company. Absent the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Agent, neither Parent nor (following the Closing) the Company shall have a right of access to Privileged Materials.

(d) Parent hereby acknowledges that it has had the opportunity (including on behalf of its Affiliates) to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Section 5.5, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than Latham & Watkins LLP and Thompson Hine LLP. This Section 5.5 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 5.5 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Agent and each of Latham & Watkins LLP and Thompson Hine LLP.

6. Tax Matters.

6.1 Liability for Taxes.

(a) Indemnification. From and after the Effective Time, each Effective Time Holder shall, severally and not jointly, hold harmless and indemnify each of the Parent Indemnitees from and against such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of any Damages that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred at any time by any of the Parent Indemnitees or to which any of the Parent Indemnitees may otherwise directly or indirectly become subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any Third Party Claim) and that arise directly or indirectly from or as a result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with, without duplication, (1) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties of the Company in Section 2.20, (2) Taxes imposed on any Acquired Company, or for which any Acquired Company may otherwise be liable (including as a transferee or successor, by contract, agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, but excluding Contracts not primarily related to Taxes entered into in the ordinary course of business), for any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, (3) any Transfer Taxes for which the Effective Time Holders are liable pursuant to Section 6.7, and (4) any withholding Tax imposed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any payment thereof, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the employer portion of any payroll and employee withholding Taxes, employment, unemployment insurance, social security, workers’ compensation, and other obligations of a similar nature, imposed in connection with any payment made pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, in each case, that no Effective Time Holder shall be liable for any Tax Liability to the extent such Tax Liability is taken into account in computing Closing Net Indebtedness Amount or the Net Working Capital Amount.

CONFIDENTIAL

 

(b) Straddle Period. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of any Acquired Company for a Straddle Period, (1) the amount of any Taxes imposed on or calculated by reference to income, gain, receipts, capital, sales, use or payment of wages of an Acquired Company for the period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the Taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Acquired Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time); provided, however, that exemptions, allowances, and deductions calculated on an annual basis, such as depreciation deductions, shall be apportioned between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle period commencing after the Closing Date as described immediately hereafter in clause (2), and (2) the amount of all other Taxes of the Acquired Company for the portion of any Straddle Period through the and including the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(c) Controlled Foreign Corporation. For purposes of Section 6.1(a), whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of the Company under Section 951 of the Code with respect to any Subsidiary that is of a controlled foreign corporation within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code (a “CFC”) attributable to the taxable year or period of such CFC that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date, the determination of liability for any such Taxes shall be made by assuming that the taxable year or period of the CFC consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other of which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date and relevant items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of the controlled foreign corporation shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the controlled foreign corporation were closed at the close of the Closing Date.

6.2 Tax Returns.

(a) Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for any Acquired Company that relate to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date which are due after the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”) or Straddle Period. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice of the applicable Acquired Company, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including any extensions) of any such Pre-Closing Tax Return or Straddle Period Tax Return, Parent shall cause a draft copy of such Tax Return to be delivered to the Securityholders’ Agent for the Securityholders’ Agent’s review and comment. Parent shall consider in good faith any and all reasonable comments provided by the Securityholders’ Agent with respect to any such Tax Returns to the extent such comments are consistent with past practices of the applicable Acquired Company; provided that such reasonable comments are delivered in writing by the Securityholders’ Agent to Parent within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the draft Tax Returns by Parent to Securityholders’ Agent (the “Tax Comments”). If the Securityholders’ Agent does not provide Tax Comments within such period, the amount of Taxes shown to be due and payable on such Tax Return shall be deemed to be accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of this Section 6.2(a). If Tax Comments are timely provided by the Securityholders’ Agent in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then Parent shall consider in good faith such Tax Comments and the parties shall act in good faith to resolve any dispute prior to the due date of any such Pre-Closing Tax Return or Straddle Period Tax Return. If Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent cannot resolve any such disputed Tax Comment, the disputed items shall be referred to a senior Tax partner at the Accounting Firm (the “Tax Arbitrator”) for prompt resolution (in

accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2(a)), whose determination shall be final and conclusive for purposes of this Section 6.2(a). The Tax Arbitrator shall be instructed to use every reasonable effort to complete its services as soon as practicable after such submission. If the Tax Arbitrator is unable to resolve the dispute prior to the due date (including any extensions) of such Tax Returns, Parent shall cause the Tax Comments with respect to which there is no dispute among the parties to be reflected on such Tax Returns, and the parties agree to amend any such Tax Returns to the extent necessary based on the final determination of the Tax Arbitrator with respect to the disputed items. The fees and expenses of the Tax Arbitrator in connection with its work pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) shall be apportioned between the Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent (on behalf of the Effective Time Holders) based upon the relative success of each such party’s claims as reflected in the determinations made by the Tax Arbitrator. Any and all third-party costs, fees or expenses incurred by Parent, its Affiliates or any Acquired Company in connection with any Pre-Closing Tax Return and fifty percent (50%) of any such fees and expenses in current in connection with any Straddle Period Tax Return, in each case prepared or filed in connection with this Section 6.2(a), shall be considered Damages for which the Parent Indemnitees shall be indemnified and held harmless.

6.3 Tax Proceedings.

(a) Parent shall notify Securityholders’ Agent in writing upon receipt by Parent, any of its Affiliates or, after the Closing Date, the Acquired Companies of notice of any pending federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments relating to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or to any Straddle Period (the “Tax Proceeding Notice”). The failure to promptly give such Tax Proceeding Notice shall not, however, relieve any Effective Time Holder of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that such Effective Time Holder is actually prejudiced thereby.

(b) The Securityholders’ Agent shall have the right to participate in or, upon providing written notice to the Parent within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such Tax Proceeding Notice, to assume the defense of any audit, investigation or similar proceeding or claim (a “Tax Proceeding”) relating solely to taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date at the Securityholders’ Agent’s expense (on behalf of the Effective Time Holders) and by the Securityholders’ Agent’s own counsel; provided that (i) Securityholders’ Agent shall be obligated to keep Parent reasonably informed of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Proceeding (including promptly forwarding copies to the Parent of any related correspondence, and providing the Parent with an opportunity to review and comment on any material correspondence before the Securityholders’ Agent’s sends such correspondence to any Tax Authority), (ii) Parent shall have the right, at Parent’s expense, to participate in any Tax Proceedings with counsel selected by it, and (iii) Securityholders’ Agent’s shall not settle, resolve, or abandon such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) If the Securityholders’ Agent is not entitled to control a Tax Proceeding under Section 6.3(b), fails to give timely and duly written notification to the Parent of its election to defend such Tax Proceeding as provided in this Agreement, fails to diligently defend such Tax Proceeding, or otherwise comply with its obligations in controlling such Tax Proceeding pursuant this Section 6.3, Parent may, without prejudice to its right to indemnification hereunder, assume control of such Tax Proceedings and seek indemnification for any and all Damages based upon, arising from or relating to such Tax Proceedings; provided that (i) Parent shall be obligated to keep Securityholders’ Agent reasonably informed of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Proceeding (including promptly forwarding copies to the Securityholders’ Agent of any related correspondence), (ii) Securityholders’ Agent (on behalf of the Effective Time Holders) shall have the right to participate, at its sole expense, in any Tax Proceedings with counsel selected by it, and (iii) Parent shall not and shall not allow any Affiliate thereof to settle, resolve, or abandon such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Parent shall have the sole right to represent each Acquired Company’s interests in any Tax Proceedings with respect to any Straddle Period, provided that (i) Parent shall be obligated to keep Securityholders’ Agent reasonably informed of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Proceeding (including promptly forwarding copies to the Securityholders’ Agent of any related correspondence), and (ii) Parent shall not and shall not allow any Affiliate thereof to settle, resolve, or abandon such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Agent’s (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.4 Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each of Securityholders’ Agent and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to):

(a) timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns or other reports with respect to sales, transfer and similar Taxes;

(b) assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing;

(c) cooperate fully in preparing for and defending any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of any Acquired Company;

(d) make available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of the Acquired Companies, including any ownership information necessary to determine the presence or absence of an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code;

(e) furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any such taxable period; provided, that Parent shall only be obligated to furnish copies of such correspondence to Securityholders’ Agent to the extent such audit or information request relates to Taxes for which the Effective Time Holders may be liable under the terms of this Agreement; and

(f) furnish all books and records with respect to Taxes for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date.

6.5 Termination of Tax Sharing Arrangements. Any Tax Sharing Arrangement entered into by any Acquired Company, other than this Agreement, shall be terminated as to each Acquired Company on or prior to the Closing, and after the Closing no Acquired Company shall have any Liability thereunder.

6.6 Survival, Etc.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 10), the obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 6 shall survive the Effective Time until the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (including any extensions thereof); provided, however, that if, at any time on or prior to the expiration date referred to in this sentence, any Parent Indemnitee delivers to the Securityholders’ Agent a written notice asserting a claim for recovery under

this Section 6 based on such alleged breach, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. No claim made pursuant to this Section 6 shall be subject to the limitations in Section 10.3 (except for Sections 10.3(f) and 10.3(g)). The obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 6 shall not be subject to any limitation under Section 10.3 (except for Sections 10.3(f) and 10.3(g)).

6.7 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, stamp, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne by 50% by Parent and 50% by the Securityholders. Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.8 Tax Refunds. The Effective Time Holders shall be entitled to the amount of any refund (or credit of Taxes claimed in lieu of any refund at the election of Parent or any affiliate thereof after the Closing Date) of any Acquired Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (to the extent such Taxes were paid by any Acquired Company prior to the Closing or by the Effective Time Holders pursuant to a claim for indemnification after the Closing) which refund is actually received (or credit is actually recognized) by Parent or its Subsidiaries (including any Acquired Company) after the Closing, net of any cost to Parent and its Affiliates attributable to the obtaining and receipt of such refund or credit, except to the extent such refund or credit arises as the result of a carryback of a loss or other tax benefit from a Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Effective Time Holders any amount to which the Effective Time Holders are entitled pursuant to the prior sentence within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of the applicable refund or claim of such credit by Parent or its Subsidiaries. To the extent requested by the Securityholders’ Agent, Parent will reasonably cooperate, at the expense of the Effective Time Holders, with reasonable written requests by the Securityholders’ Agent in obtaining such refund or credit, including through the filing of amended Tax Returns for periods ending before or on the Closing Date or refund claims. To the extent such refund or credit is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Tax Authority, the Effective Time Holders agree promptly to repay the amount of such refund or credit, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Tax Authority, to Parent.

6.9 Certain Actions. Except with the express written consent of the Securityholders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld, Parent shall not (i) make any election for any Subsidiary of the Company under Section 338(g) of the Code or (ii) except in connection with any Tax Proceeding or as otherwise governed by the procedures governing filings of Tax Returns pursuant to Section 6.2, (a) amend any Tax Return of any Acquired Company for any period ending on or before the Closing Date, (b) change any annual Tax accounting period or any period ending on or before the Closing Date, (c) surrender any right to claim a Tax refund for any period ending on or before the Closing Date, or (d) consent to any extension or waiver of the statute of limitations period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment (other than in connection with ordinary course extenuations for filing Tax Returns), in each case to the extent such action could reasonably be expected to result in any increased Tax liability for which the Securityholders would be required to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 6.6 or Section 10 hereof.

6.10 Coordination. If there shall be any conflicts between the provisions of this Section 6 and Section 10, the provisions of this Section 6 shall control with respect to Taxes.

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any payments made to any party pursuant to Section 1.10(c) and any indemnification payments made in respect of any Damages shall constitute an adjustment of the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the parties hereto on their Tax Returns to the greatest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11(c).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sustain the tax treatment described in this Section 6.11 in any subsequent Tax audit or other administrative Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that no party shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax Authority challenging such Tax treatment.

If any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments, reimbursements or other recoveries are subsequently recovered by an Indemnitee (or any of its Affiliates) after payment has been made by Parent or the Effective Time Holders, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 10 with respect to the Damages to which such insurance recoveries relate, then the Indemnitee shall remit or cause to be remitted to Parent or the Effective Time Holders, as applicable, such insurance recoveries (net of any deductible or co-payment and all out of pocket costs related to such recovery); provided that in no event shall any Indemnitee have any obligation hereunder to remit any portion of such insurance recoveries in excess of the indemnification payment or payments actually received by such Indemnitee with respect to such Damages.

(ii) Without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Section 10, for purposes of computing the amount of any Damages incurred by any Indemnitee under this Section 10 or Section 6.1, there shall be deducted an amount equal to the net amount of any Tax benefit actually realized in connection with such Damages on or before the year following the year when such Damages were incurred, calculated on a with and without basis.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10 or Section 6 for any Damages resulting from, or relating or attributable to, any Tax attribute of any Acquired Company, including but not limited to any net operating loss, any net operating loss carryover, any Tax credit, any Tax credit carryover or any other Tax attribute of any Acquired Company which may be affected in any way by the acquisition of control under the applicable Legal Requirements, or the determination that any such Tax attribute is subject to any limitation on its use under the applicable Legal Requirements.

10.4 No Contribution. Each Effective Time Holder waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such Effective Time Holder shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or advancement of expenses or other right or remedy against the Surviving Corporation or any Acquired Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which such Effective Time Holder may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument delivered to Parent in connection with this Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, the Securityholders’ Agent, on behalf of itself and each Effective Time Holder, and each Effective Time Holder expressly waives and releases any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Acquired Company.

10.5 Claim Procedures. Any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10 (and, at the option of any Indemnitee, any claim based upon fraud) shall be brought and resolved exclusively as follows:

(a) If any Indemnitee has or claims in good faith to have incurred or suffered, or believes in good faith that it may incur or suffer, Damages for which it is or may be entitled to indemnification under Section 6 or this Section 10 or for which it is or may otherwise be entitled to a monetary remedy relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, such Indemnitee may deliver a claim notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Securityholders’ Agent or Parent as applicable. Each Claim Notice shall: (i) contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnitee’s claim; and (ii) if practicable, contain a non-binding, preliminary, good faith estimate of the amount to which the Indemnitee might be entitled.

(b) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 6 or this Section 10 shall be determined (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnitee and the Securityholders’ Agent or Parent, as applicable, (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnitee and the Securityholders’ Agent or Parent, as applicable, shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.

(c) In the event that any Parent Indemnitee is determined pursuant to this Section 10.5 to be entitled to indemnification, such Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to a distribution from the Indemnity Escrow in an amount equal to the Damages incurred or suffered in connection therewith.

10.6 Release from Indemnity Escrow and Accelerable Escrow.

(a) Parent will notify the Securityholders’ Agent in writing of the amount that Parent determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy all claims for indemnification that have been asserted, but not resolved on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date (the “Indemnity Escrow Release Date”) (each such claim an “Indemnity Escrow Continuing Claim” and such amount, the “Indemnity Escrow Retained Amount”). Subject to Section 10.6(c), within three (3) Business Days following the Indemnity Escrow Release Date, Parent and Securityholders’ Agent shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnity Escrow an amount in the aggregate equal to (A) the Indemnity Escrow Amount minus (B) any amounts released to the Parent Indemnitees from the Indemnity Escrow prior to such date minus (C) any amounts paid pursuant to the Post-Closing Date Transaction Bonuses and payable as a result of such release from the

(c) With respect to any amount to be released from the Indemnity Escrow to the Effective Time Holders pursuant to this Section 10.6(c): (i) if any former holder of Outstanding Capital Stock has not executed and delivered a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and surrendered such Effective Time Holder’s Company Stock Certificate in accordance with Section 1.9(b) (collectively, the “Payment Conditions”) prior to the date of any scheduled release from the Indemnity Escrow, then any amount that would otherwise be released to such Effective Time Holder shall be held by the Paying Agent, without interest, until such holder satisfies all of such Effective Time Holder’s applicable Payment Conditions; (ii) amounts to be released from the Indemnity Escrow to be distributed to each such Effective Time Holder shall be deemed to be the product of (A) the aggregate amount to be released from the Indemnity Escrow to such Effective Time Holder; multiplied by (B) such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share (excluding all shares of Company Preferred Stock that are designated as “Series D Preferred Stock” and shares of Series D Preferred Stock subject to Company Warrants); and (iii) each distribution to be made from the Indemnity Escrow with respect to amounts to be distributed in respect of an Effective Time Holder’s Fully Diluted Shares of Company Capital Stock (excluding all shares of Company Preferred Stock that are designated as “Series D Preferred Stock” and shares of Series D Preferred Stock subject to Company Warrants) shall be effected in accordance with the payment delivery instructions set forth in such Effective Time Holder’s Letter of Transmittal, Warrant Surrender Agreement or Option Termination Agreement.

(e) Upon the full and final resolution of all Accelerable Escrow Continuing Claims, any Accelerable Escrow Retained Amounts in the Accelerable Escrow shall be distributed pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 10.6(d) to the Effective Time Holders who did not deliver Joinder Agreements, Warrant Surrender Agreements or Option Termination Agreements, as the case may be, to Parent prior to the Accelerable Escrow Release Date.

10.7 Defense of Third Party Claims. The party making a claim for indemnification under this Section 10.7 is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the party against whom such claim for indemnification is asserted under this Section 10.7 is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against the Company, Parent or any other Person) made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of any of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to promptly give such written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in or, upon providing written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim in which the Indemnifying Party acknowledges without qualification its indemnification obligation hereunder (subject only to the applicable limitations set forth in this Section 10.7), to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, which counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 10.7(b), the Indemnified Party shall cooperate reasonably in the defense thereof. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such fees and disbursements shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to give timely and sufficient notification to the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, subject to Section 10.7(b), without prejudice to its right to indemnification hereunder, defend such Third Party Claim and may seek indemnification for any and all Damages based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.7, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall control such Third Party Claim, if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, investigation or allegation, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief or relief other than for monetary Damages against the Indemnified Party (except, in each

case, where such injunctive or other equitable relief is merely incidental to a primary claim or claims for monetary Damages), (iii) an actual or readily apparent conflict of interest (in the opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party) exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim that precludes effective joint representation or (iv) a claim is made by a Parent Indemnitee and the amounts reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with such Third Party Claim, together with all other outstanding claims on the Indemnity Escrow, exceed the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow. If, pursuant to this Section 10.7(a), the Indemnified Party so contests, defends, litigates or settles a Third Party Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of defending the Third Party Claim which are incurred from time to time, promptly following the presentation to the Indemnifying Party of itemized bills for such attorneys’ fees and other expenses, subject, however, to any applicable limitations set forth in this Section 10.7. Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in this Section 10.7, all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as: (i) a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim that (A) does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates (including any equitable remedies or other obligations or restrictions upon the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates), (B) would not lead to any liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (C) provides, in customary form, for the full, unconditional written release of each Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim, and (D) does not adversely affect the conduct of the business of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides written notice to the Indemnified Party that it desires to accept and agree to such offer and the terms thereof. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 10.7(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Cooperation. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including, upon the reasonable request of the defending party, providing copies of records within the non-defending party’s possession or control relating to such Third Party Claim and making available, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses), Representatives of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

10.8 Exclusive Remedy. Except (a) in the event of fraud and (b) for equitable remedies, from and after the Effective Time, the rights to indemnification, compensation and reimbursement set forth in this Section 10 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Parent Indemnitees with respect to any breach of this Agreement.

10.9 Order of Recovery. In the event any Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to any indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 10, such amount shall be paid first from the Indemnity Escrow and, to the extent there are insufficient funds in the Indemnity Escrow, then the remainder from pursuant to Section 10.3(e) before recovery can be made against any Effective Time Holder; provided that in the case of Effective Time Holders who have not delivered a Joinder Agreement, Warrant Surrender Agreement or Option Termination Agreement, as the case may be, prior to Parent’s becoming entitled to such indemnification payment, amounts shall be paid first from the Accelerable Escrow prior to set off, deduction or retention pursuant to Section 10.3(e).

11. Miscellaneous Provisions.

11.1 Securityholders’ Agent.

(a) Appointment. By virtue of the adoption and approval of this Agreement, the Joinder Agreements, the Warrant Surrender Agreements and the Option Termination Agreements and without any further action by any of the Effective Time Holders or the Company, the Effective Time Holders irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the exclusive agent and true and lawful attorney in fact of the Effective Time Holders (the “Securityholders’ Agent”), with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of the Effective Time Holders for purposes of executing any documents and taking or refraining from any actions that the Securityholders’ Agent may, in the Securityholders’ Agent’s sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Securityholders’ Agent engagement agreement, and any other agreement, document or instrument referred to in or contemplated by this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, and any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any such other agreement, document or instrument, including with respect to, any claim for indemnification under Sections 6 and 10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholders’ Agent shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Effective Time Holders, except as expressly provided herein and in the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Securityholders’ Agent engagement agreement. The Securityholders’ Agent hereby accepts its appointment as Securityholders’ Agent.

(b) Authority. The Effective Time Holders grant to the Securityholders’ Agent full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of such Effective Time Holders (in the name of any or all of the Effective Time Holders or otherwise) any and all documents that the Securityholders’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Securityholders’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, in performing its duties as contemplated by Section 11.1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby: (i) each Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Securityholders’ Agent on all matters relating to any claim for indemnification under Section 10; and (ii) each Parent Indemnitee 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 Effective Time Holder by the Securityholders’ Agent, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Effective Time Holder by the Securityholders’ Agent, as fully binding upon such Effective Time Holder and such Effective Time Holder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Effective Time Holder. All actions, decisions and instructions of the Securityholders’ Agent taken, made or given pursuant to the authority granted to the Securityholders’ Agent pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall be conclusive and binding upon each Effective Time Holder, and no such holder shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are hereby made, and are hereby acknowledged to be, dependent upon the determinations and actions that are contemplated or permitted to be made by the Securityholders’ Agent pursuant to this Section 11.1, and the rights of all Effective Time Holders shall be qualified by and dependent upon such determinations and actions, irrespective of whether the Securityholders’ Agent is acting as an agent or power of attorney of such Effective Time Holder.

(c) Power of Attorney. The Effective Time Holders recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted in Section 11.1(a), immunity and indemnity granted to the Securityholders’ Agent Group: (i) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; (ii) may be delegated by the Securityholders’ Agent; (iii) shall survive the death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of each of the Effective Time Holders and shall be binding on any successor thereto; and (iv) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Effective Time Holder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in any Further Distributions.

(d) Replacement. The Securityholders’ Agent (i) may resign at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Advisory Group or (ii) may be removed and replaced by consent of those Effective Time Holders who contributed at least fifty percent (50%) of the Indemnity Escrow. If the Securityholders’ Agent shall be removed by the Effective Time Holders, or shall die, resign, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, the Effective Time Holders shall (by consent of those Persons who contributed at least fifty percent (50%) of the Indemnity Escrow), within ten (10) days after such removal, death, disability or inability, appoint a successor to the Securityholders’ Agent and immediately thereafter notify Parent of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed the Securityholders’ Agent as Securityholders’ Agent hereunder. If for any reason there is no Securityholders’ Agent at any time, all references herein to the Securityholders’ Agent shall be deemed to refer to the Effective Time Holders.

(e) Expense Fund. The Expense Fund shall be used (i) for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Securityholders’ Agent for, any expenses incurred by the Securityholders’ Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other agreement, document or instrument referred to in or contemplated by this Agreement and any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any such other agreement, document or instrument, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group. The Securityholders’ Agent will hold these funds separate from its other funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Securityholders’ Agent is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholders’ Agent is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. The Effective Time Holders will not receive any interest on the Expense Fund and assign to the Securityholders’ Agent any such interest. Subject to prior written consent by the Advisory Group, the Securityholders’ Agent may, as reasonably necessary, contribute funds to the Expense Fund from any Further Distributions otherwise distributable to the Effective Time Holders. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Securityholders’ Agent’s responsibilities, the Securityholders’ Agent shall disburse the balance of the Expense Fund to the Effective Time Holders in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Share in such manner as the Securityholders’ Agent determines reasonably appropriate, including, if the Securityholders’ Agent elects, through a paying agent for further distribution.

(f) Access. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide the Securityholders’ Agent with reasonable access to information about the Surviving Corporation and the reasonable assistance of the officers and employees of Parent and the Surviving Corporation for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its rights under this Agreement, provided, that the Securityholders’ Agent shall treat confidentially any nonpublic information about the Surviving Corporation (except in connection with the performance by the Securityholders’ Agent of its duties or the exercise of its rights under this Agreement).

(g) Limitation of Liability. Certain Effective Time Holders have entered into an engagement agreement with the Securityholders’ Agent to provide direction to the Securityholders’ Agent in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Securityholders’ Agent engagement agreement (such Effective Time Holders, including their individual representatives and any advisory group formed on behalf of the Company or the Effective Time Holders, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Securityholders’ Agent nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Securityholders’ Agent Group”), shall be liable to any Effective Time Holder for any action or failure to act in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Securityholders’ Agent’s responsibilities hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or under any Securityholders’ Agent engagement agreement, unless and only to the extent such action or failure to act constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholders’ Agent shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Merger Consideration Certificate, (ii) rely upon any signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Effective Time Holder or other party.

(h) Indemnification. The Effective Time Holders shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Securityholders’ Agent Group from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, costs, expenses (including fees, disbursements and costs of counsel and other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Securityholders’ Agent Expenses”) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Securityholders’ Agent Group and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or under any Securityholders’ Agent engagement agreement. Such Securityholders’ Agent Expenses may be recovered first, from the Expense Fund, second, from any distribution of any Further Distributions otherwise distributable to the Effective Time Holders at the time of distribution, and third, directly from the Effective Time Holders. The Effective Time Holders acknowledge that the Securityholders’ Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby. Furthermore, the Securityholders’ Agent shall not be required to take any action unless the Securityholders’ Agent has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its reasonable determination, are sufficient to protect the Securityholders’ Agent against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Securityholders’ Agent in performing such actions.

11.2 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

11.3 No Waiver Relating to Claims for Fraud. The Liability of any Person under Section 10 will be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other Liability that such Person may have at law or in equity based on such Person’s fraudulent acts or omissions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions set forth in Section 10, shall be deemed a waiver by any party to this Agreement of any right or remedy which such party may have at law or in equity based on any other Person’s fraudulent acts or omissions, nor will any such provisions limit, or be deemed to limit: (a) the amounts of recovery sought or awarded in any claim for fraud against such other Person; (b) the time period during which a claim for fraud may be brought against such other Person; or (c) the recourse which any such party may seek against such other Person with respect to a claim for fraud.
