ACQUISITION AGREEMENT
This ACQUISITION AGREEMENT (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 19, 2018 by and among REALPAGE, INC., a Delaware corporation publicly listed on Nasdaq (“Buyer”), NovelPay LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), each of the holders of outstanding membership units of the Company except for ClickPay Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TopCo”) (as set forth on Schedule I hereto, each, a “Company Seller” and, collectively, the “Company Sellers”), and NP Representative, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (solely in its capacity as the “Sellers’ Representative”). Buyer, the Company, the Company Sellers, and the Sellers’ Representative are sometimes referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company Sellers and TopCo own, in the aggregate, all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company units of the Company (the “Company Units”);
WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase from the Company Sellers, and the Company Sellers desire to sell to Buyer, at the Closing (as defined below) the Company Units set forth on Schedule I, which Company Units are owned by the Company Sellers and along with the Retained Units (as defined on Exhibit A) represent all of the Company Units owned by the Company Sellers upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (such purchase, the “Company Purchase”);
WHEREAS, simultaneous herewith, Buyer and two subsidiaries of Buyer, RP Newco XXIII Inc., a Delaware corporation, and RP Newco XXIV Inc., a Delaware corporation, are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TopCo (the “TopCo Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Buyer will acquire all of the shares of capital stock of TopCo;
WHEREAS, TSL1, Agabs and Horowitz (collectively, the “Retained Unitholders”) will sell certain of their Company Units at Closing, but will also retain the number and type of Company Units that are designated as “Retained Units” herein and such Retained Units are subject to put rights and call rights, as set forth in Section 8.15 hereof; and
WHEREAS, the board of managers of the Company has approved this Agreement, which contemplates, among other things, the Company Purchase, in accordance the Delaware LLC Act and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

(d)    an amount equal to (i) any Net Working Capital Adjustment as of immediately prior to the Closing, multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Closing Percentage, minus
(e)    an amount equal to (i) the Closing Net Debt Amount as of immediately prior to the Closing, multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Closing Percentage, minus

2.5    Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a)    Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing Statement. The Company has prepared in good faith and provided to Buyer no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a written certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), which Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall identify the amounts of restricted cash appearing as customer deposits on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (the “Restricted Cash Customer Deposits”), together with a written statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its good faith estimates of the Company’s Net Working Capital, Closing Net Debt Amount, Closing Company Cash and any Transaction Expenses not satisfied prior to the Closing (the “Adjustable Financial Amounts”), each as derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and such good faith estimate of each Adjustable Financial Amount contained in the Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Estimated Closing Statement, which shall be in substantially the form of Schedule I attached hereto, shall also include the identity of each Person that is to be paid any Transaction Expenses; the amount owed or to be owed to each such Person; and the bank account and wire transfer information for each such Person.
(b)    Closing Payment. The Adjusted Equity Value used for the purposes of determining the amounts payable at Closing under Section 2.4(c) shall be calculated using the same estimates of the Adjustable Financial Amounts set forth in the final Estimated Closing Statement.
(c)    Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and Proposed Final Closing Statement. As promptly as possible and in any event within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and will provide to the Sellers’ Representative, a balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet”), including Buyer’s calculation of the Restricted Cash Customer Deposits as of the Closing, together with a written statement (the “Proposed Final Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its proposed final determination of the Adjustable Financial Amounts. The Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(d)    Dispute Notice. The Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement (and the proposed final determinations of the Adjustable Financial Amounts reflected thereon) will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties unless Sellers’ Representative provides a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Buyer no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the delivery to the Sellers’ Representative of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement (the “Proposed Final Closing Statement Response Period”). Any Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (i) any item on the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet or the Proposed Final Closing Statement which Sellers’ Representative believes is incorrect and the correct amount of such item and (ii) Sellers’ Representative’s alternative calculation of any Adjustable Financial Amount, as applicable. Any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in the Dispute Notice will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties on such thirtieth (30th) day of the Proposed Final Closing Statement Response Period. During the Proposed Final Closing Statement Response Period, Sellers’ Representative and its duly authorized advisors and representatives shall be permitted to review any working papers, trial balances and similar materials to the extent reasonably necessary for Sellers’ Representative and its duly authorized advisors and representatives to review the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement.
(e)    Resolution of Disputes. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative will attempt to promptly resolve the matters raised in any Dispute Notice in good faith. Beginning thirty (30) days after delivery of any Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 2.5(d), either Buyer or Sellers’ Representative may provide written notice to the other (the “Dispute Submission Notice”) that it elects to submit the disputed items to KPMG US LLP or another firm of regional standing

4




mutually acceptable to Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm will promptly and in accordance with such procedures as it deems fair and equitable (subject to the terms of this Agreement), provided that each party shall be afforded an opportunity to submit a written statement in favor of its position and to advocate for its position orally before the Accounting Firm, review only those unresolved items and amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the Dispute Notice, which resolution shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Accounting Firm will promptly resolve the items in dispute, provided that no calculation of any Adjustable Financial Amount in dispute shall be either greater than the greater of, or lesser than the lesser of, (i) the calculation of such Adjustable Financial Amount set forth on the Dispute Notice (as may be adjusted and as submitted by Sellers’ Representative to the Accounting Firm at the outset of the dispute resolution process with a copy to Buyer) and (ii) Buyer’s calculation of such Adjustable Financial Amount as set forth on the Proposed Final Closing Statement (as may be adjusted and as submitted by Buyer to the Accounting Firm at the outset of the dispute resolution process with a copy to the Sellers’ Representative). In any such case, the Accounting Firm shall render a written decision with respect to such disputed matter, including a statement in reasonable detail of the basis for its decision. The party whose position with respect to the matter in dispute is furthermost from the Accounting Firm’s final determination shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm. The decision of the Accounting Firm with respect to the disputed items of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement submitted to it will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. As used herein, the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement, as adjusted to reflect any changes agreed to by the parties and the decision of the Accounting Firm, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.5(e), are referred to herein as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet” and the “Final Closing Statement”, respectively. Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Accounting Firm (including by executing a customary engagement letter reasonably acceptable to it) and to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve any such dispute as soon as practicable after the commencement of the Accounting Firm’s engagement.

(f)    Closing Payment Adjustment. If any Adjustable Financial Amount as set forth in the Final Closing Statement differs from the estimated amounts thereof set forth in the Estimated Closing Statements, the Adjusted Equity Value shall be recalculated and using such final figures in lieu of such estimated figures:
(i)    If the Adjusted Equity Value calculated as set forth in Section 2.3 using the Adjustable Financial Amounts as set forth in the Final Closing Statement is greater than or equal to the Adjusted Equity Value calculated pursuant to Section 2.5(b) (such difference a “Purchase Price Underpayment”), then Buyer shall be required to pay the Company Sellers, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Adjusted Equity Value, an amount in cash equal to such Purchase Price Underpayment. Such amount shall be allocated among the Company Sellers based on their respective Adjustment Pro Rata Portion and paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of such Company Seller designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative to Buyer; and
(ii)    If the Adjusted Equity Value calculated as set forth in Section 2.3 using the Adjustable Financial Amounts as set forth in the Final Closing Statement is less than the Adjusted Equity Value calculated pursuant to Section 2.5(b) (such difference, a “Purchase Price Overpayment”), then Buyer shall be paid such Purchase Price Overpayment, which shall be satisfied (A) first, from the Holdback Consideration (initially from the 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares and then, to the extent such Purchase Price Overpayment is greater than the 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares Amount available, from the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares), and (B) second, if and to the extent the Purchase Price Overpayment is greater than the Holdback Consideration available, from each Company Seller, severally, in accordance with each such Company Seller’s respective Adjustment Pro Rata Portion; provided, however, that if the Purchase Price Overpayment is any amount greater than $1,000,000, then Buyer may recover the Purchase Price Overpayment directly from each Company Seller, severally, in accordance with each such Company Seller’s respective Adjustment Pro Rata Portion, without any requirement to first recover any amounts of the Purchase Price Overpayment from the Holdback Consideration. Any amounts directly paid to Buyer by a Company Seller pursuant to this Section 2.5(f)(ii) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Buyer.
2.6    Holdback. At the Closing, Buyer shall retain the 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares and 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares from the Purchase Price that is payable to the Company Sellers which shall be allocated

5




to those Closing Units of the Company Sellers that are set forth on the Payment Spreadsheet (as defined in Section 6.5(a)), which Holdback Consideration will constitute security for the satisfaction of the Company Sellers’ indemnity and Purchase Price Overpayment obligations under this Agreement (the “Company Seller Obligations”). Buyer shall retain and shall have the right to subtract from the Holdback Consideration (initially from the 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares until such shares are exhausted and then from the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares) any Buyer Indemnified Losses for which a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article VII. Buyer shall pay the balance of the Holdback Consideration to the Company Sellers (or their respective written designee(s)) as follows:
(a)    Initial Release Date. Within fifteen (15) days after the date that is one day following the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date (such date, the “Initial Release Date”), Buyer shall release to the Company Sellers a number of shares of fully paid, nonassessable Buyer Common Stock in an amount equal to the (A) the 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares minus (B) the amount of shares of Buyer Common Stock representing any Purchase Price Overpayments satisfied from the 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares (as determined by dividing such Purchase Price Overpayments by the Issue Price as of the Closing Date), minus (C) the amount of shares, if any, of Buyer Common Stock, representing aggregate outstanding Buyer Indemnified Losses as finally determined as of the Initial Release Date, with such amount of shares being determined in accordance with Section 7.6(a), minus (D) any amounts described in the following sentence. To the extent that as of the Initial Release Date there are properly asserted claims by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification against the Company Sellers pursuant to Section 7.1(a) pending, Buyer shall deduct from the 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock, determined by dividing such cash amount by the Issue Price as of the Closing Date, to cover a reasonable estimate of Buyer Indemnified Losses to be incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, as determined by Buyer in the reasonable exercise of its discretion. The Company Sellers hereby irrevocably authorize Buyer to submit to its transfer agent for cancellation the stock certificates representing the 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares retained by Buyer in order to permit the reductions to the 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares contemplated by this Section 2.6(a) and issue new stock certificates representing the 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares, if any, to be issued or released to the Company Sellers following such reductions.
(b)    On the Initial Release Date, Buyer shall issue to the Company Sellers a number of shares of fully paid, nonassessable Buyer Common Stock in an amount equal to (A) the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares, minus (B) the amount of shares of Buyer Common Stock representing any Purchase Price Overpayments satisfied from the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares (as determined by dividing such Purchase Price Overpayments by the Issue Price as of the Initial Release Date), minus (C) the amount of shares, if any, of Buyer Common Stock, representing aggregate outstanding Buyer Indemnified Losses as finally determined as of the Initial Release Date that have not been satisfied by 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares, with such amount of shares being determined in accordance with Section 7.6(a); with Buyer issuing a stock certificate in such Company Seller’s name evidencing shares of Buyer Common Stock representing such Company Seller’s Holdback Pro Rata Portion of the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares and which 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares shall be retained by Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.6(b). Within fifteen (15) days after the date that is one day following the 24-month anniversary of the Closing Date (such date, the “Second Release Date”), Buyer shall issue to the Company Sellers a number of shares of fully paid, nonassessable Buyer Common Stock in an amount equal to (A) the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares, minus (B) the amount of shares of Buyer Common Stock representing any Purchase Price Overpayments satisfied from the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares (as determined by dividing such Purchase Price Overpayments by the Issue Price as of the Closing Date), minus (C) the amount of shares, if any, of Buyer Common Stock, representing the aggregate outstanding Buyer Indemnified Losses as finally determined as of the Second Release Date that have not been satisfied by 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares, with such amount of shares being determined in accordance with Section 7.6(a), minus (D) any amounts described in the following sentence. To the extent that as of the Second Release Date there are properly asserted claims by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification against the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 7.1(a) pending, Buyer shall deduct from the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares Amount a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock, determined by dividing such cash amount by the Issue Price as of the Initial Release Date, to cover a reasonable estimate of Buyer Indemnified Losses to be incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, as determined by Buyer in the reasonable exercise of its discretion. The Company Sellers hereby irrevocably authorize Buyer to submit to its transfer agent for cancellation the stock certificates representing the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares retained by Buyer in order to permit the reductions to the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares contemplated by this Section 2.6(b) and issue new stock certificates representing the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares, if any, following such reductions.

6




(c)    Resolution of Existing Claims. If after the Initial Release Date or Second Release Date, any claims for indemnity are resolved in favor of the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Sellers) by mutual agreement or otherwise, or if upon resolution of a claim for indemnity in accordance with the provisions hereof, the amount withheld exceeds the amount ultimately payable to a Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, Buyer shall release to the Company Sellers a number of fully paid, nonassessable shares of Buyer Common Stock in an amount equal to the excess amount withheld, with such amount of shares being determined by dividing such excess amount withheld by the Issue Price as of the Closing Date, with respect to the 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares, or of the Initial Release Date, with respect to the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares.
(d)    Allocation of Holdback Consideration Among Company Sellers. All shares of Buyer Common Stock that are released to the Company Sellers on the Initial Release Date, the Second Release Date or upon resolution of existing claims shall constitute Purchase Price and shall be distributed to the Company Sellers based on their respective Holdback Pro Rata Portion.
(e)    Interest in Holdback Consideration.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY SELLERS
Each of the Company Sellers, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Buyer, as of the date hereof, as follows (with the understanding and acknowledgement that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement without being provided with the representations and warranties set forth herein, and that these representations and warranties constitute an essential and determining element of this Agreement):

4.4    Noncontravention. Neither the authorization, execution, delivery or performance by such Company Seller of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated to be conducted by such Company Seller pursuant to this Agreement, will:
(a)    conflict with or violate (i) any law applicable to such Company Seller, or (ii) any provision of the organizational documents of such Company Seller (if such Company Seller is not an individual);
(b)    result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event that would, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or require any action by (including any authorization, consent or approval) or notice to any Person under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which such Company Seller is a party;
(c)    result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Company Units of such Company Seller, other than Permitted Encumbrances; or

4.5    Title. Such Company Seller is the record and beneficial owner of the outstanding Company Units set forth opposite such Company Seller’s name on Schedule I hereto, and such Company Seller has good and

27




marketable title to such Company Units, free and clear of all Liens. Such Company Seller has full right, power and authority to transfer and deliver to Buyer valid title to the Company Units held by such Company Seller, free and clear of all Liens. Immediately following the Closing, assuming Buyer has the requisite power and authority to be the lawful owner of such Company Seller’s Company Units and the valid execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, Buyer will be the record and beneficial owner of such Company Seller’s Company Units, and have good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all Liens except for such Liens as are imposed by Buyer. Except pursuant to this Agreement, there is no contractual obligation pursuant to which such Company Seller has, directly or indirectly, granted any option, warrant or other right to any Person other than the Company to acquire any membership interest in the Company. Except as disclosed on Section 3.2(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, such Company Seller is not a party to, and the Company Units set forth opposite such Company Seller’s name on Section 3.2(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, are not subject to, any stockholder agreement, voting agreement, voting trust, proxy or other contractual obligation relating to the transfer or voting of such Company Units.
4.6    No Brokers. Such Company Seller has no any liability of any kind to, and is not subject to any claim of, any broker, finder or agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
4.7    No Other Payments. The payments contemplated by this Agreement to be made to such Company Seller in respect of the Company Units held thereby as of immediately prior to the Closing are the sole amounts owed and payable to such Company Seller with respect to such Company Units, and no such Company Seller has any rights or claims with respect to any payments with respect thereto other than the payments contemplated by this Agreement, in the amounts and subject to the terms set forth herein.
4.8    No Other Agreements to Sell Equity Interests. Neither such Company Seller nor any of its officers, directors, members, representatives or Affiliates have any commitment or legal obligation, absolute or contingent, to any other Person or firm other than Buyer to sell, assign, transfer or effect a sale of any of such Company Seller’s Company Units, or to enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. Such Company Seller is not currently engaged in discussions or negotiations with any party other than Buyer with respect to any of the foregoing.
4.9    No Registration. Such Company Seller understands that the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Company Seller’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.
4.10    Investment Intent. Such Company Seller is acquiring the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and that such Company Seller has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Such Company Seller further represents that it does not have any Contract with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such Person or to any other Person with respect to any of the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
4.11    Investment Experience. Such Company Seller has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities and acknowledges that such Company Seller can protect its own interests. Such Company Seller has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that such Company Seller is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in Buyer.
4.12    Speculative Nature of Investment. Such Company Seller understands and acknowledges that an investment in Buyer involves risk. The Company Seller can bear the economic risk of such Company Seller’s investment in Buyer Common Stock.

28




4.13    Accredited Investor. Such Company Seller is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and shall submit to Buyer such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by Buyer. Such Company Seller has furnished or made available to Buyer any and all information requested by Buyer to satisfy any applicable verification requirements as to “accredited investor” status. Any such information is true, correct, timely and complete.
4.14    Residency; Principal Place of Business. The residency of such Company Seller (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) is correctly set forth on Schedule I hereto.
4.15    Rule 144. Such Company Seller acknowledges that the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Such Company Seller is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which may include, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about Buyer; the resale occurring not less than a specified period after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold; the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations; the sale being effected through a “brokers’ transaction,” a transaction directly with a “market maker” or a “riskless principal transaction” (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder); and the filing of a Form 144 notice, if applicable. Such Company Seller acknowledges and understands that Buyer may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time such Company Seller wishes to sell the shares of Buyer Common Stock, and that, in such event, such Company Seller may be precluded from selling such securities under Rule 144, even if the other applicable requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Such Company Seller acknowledges that, in the event the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the shares of Buyer Common Stock. Such Company Seller understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
4.16    Tax Advisors. Such Company Seller has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to such matters, such Company Seller has relied solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of Buyer or any of its agents, written or oral. Such Company Seller acknowledges and agrees that it (and not Buyer) shall be responsible for its own Tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
4.17    Legends. Such Company Seller understands and agrees that the stock certificates evidencing the shares of Buyer Common Stock or the shares of capital stock of Buyer issued upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event with respect to such shares of Buyer Common Stock, shall bear the following legend:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR ASSIGNED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND/OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS THE ISSUER HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
Upon the request of a Company Seller, such legend shall be removed and Buyer shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder thereof at such time as the shares of Buyer Common Stock evidenced thereby cease to be restricted securities upon the earliest to occur of (i) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such shares of Buyer Common Stock shall have become effective under the Securities Act and such shares of Buyer Common Stock shall

29




have been disposed of in accordance with such registration statement, (ii) such shares of Buyer Common Stock shall have been sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act, or (iii) such shares of Buyer Common Stock may be sold by the holder without restriction, volume limitation or registration under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision); provided that in the case of (ii) and (iii), such Company Seller completes any standard Rule 144 representation letter that is required by Buyer’s transfer agent or legal counsel.
In addition, the shares of Buyer Common Stock evidencing the Holdback Consideration shall also contain the legend set forth below until such shares are released to the Company Sellers in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN AN ACQUISITION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND CERTAIN PERSONS AND ENTITIES.”
4.18    No “Bad Actor” Disqualification Events. None of (i) such Company Seller, (ii) any of such Company Seller’s managers, executive officers, other officers that may serve as a manager or officer of any company in which it invests, general partners or managing members, or (iii) any beneficial owner of Buyer’s voting equity securities (in accordance with Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act) held by the Company Seller is subject to any disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through (viii) under the Securities Act, except for disqualifications covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act.
4.19    Exclusive Representations.  The representations and warranties made by each Company Seller in this Article IV (and, with respect to Retained Unitholders only, together with any representations made by a Retained Unitholder pursuant to Section 8.15 below) are the exclusive representations and warranties made by such Company Seller. Each Company Seller hereby disclaims any other express or implied representations or warranties, whether written or oral.

6.2    Employment Matters
(a)    From the Closing Date and continuing until December 31, 2018, Buyer shall provide, or shall cause the Company to provide, to each employee of the Company who continues to be employed by the Buyer and/or the Company following the Closing (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with, to the extent employed by the Buyer and/or the Company, (i) base pay, commission opportunities, and cash bonus opportunities, as applicable, that are no less favorable in the aggregate than provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date (as determined in good faith by Buyer in its sole discretion) and (ii) employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, that, for purposes of determining whether such pay, opportunities, and benefits are no less favorable in the aggregate, defined benefit pension plan benefits and retention, sale, stay, or change in control payments or awards shall not be taken into account.
(b)    Those Continuing Employees set forth on Schedule 6.2(b) (collectively, the “Equity Plan Participants”) shall be presented with Restricted Stock Agreements promptly following the first regularly scheduled quarterly meeting of the Buyer’s Compensation Committee following the Closing, pursuant to which such Continuing Employees will be granted the right to receive the applicable amounts of Buyer Common Stock set forth on Schedule 6.2(b) under Buyer’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Buyer Equity Incentive Plan”), in accordance with current practices for the grant by Buyer of stock incentives; provided that under the terms of the Restricted Stock Agreements the quarterly vesting schedule shall commence no later than the earlier of (i) the actual grant date of the Buyer Common Stock to an Equity Plan Participant, or (ii) July 1, 2018; provided further that if the Compensation Committee does not grant the equity awards to eligible Continuing Employees in the amounts set forth on Schedule 6.2(b), the Equity Participants will receive incentive award of cash vesting on the terms set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit F.

32




would result in any duplication of benefits, and Buyer shall not be required credit for such service for eligibility, vesting or benefit accrual purposes under any Buyer Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan or postretirement medical plan. In addition, subject to the terms of the applicable Buyer Plan and applicable law, Buyer shall provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any Buyer Plans that are welfare plans in which such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date.
(d)    Without limiting the generality of Section 8.2, nothing contained in this Section 6.2, express or implied, shall (i) be treated as the establishment, amendment or modification of any Company Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan or, subject to compliance with the requirements of Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(c), constitute a limitation on rights to amend, modify, merge, or terminate after the Closing Date any Company Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan, (ii) give any current or former employee, director, or other independent contractor of the Company and its Affiliates (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) any third-party beneficiary or other rights or (iii) obligate Buyer or any of its Affiliates to (A) maintain any particular Company Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan or (B) retain the employment or services of any current or former employee, director, or other independent contractor.
6.3    Related-Party Transactions.  In consideration of the Purchase Price payments and other good and valuable consideration the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and each of the Company Sellers hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the Contracts between the Company, on the one hand, and such Company Seller or their respective Affiliates, on the other (other than this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, Contracts set forth on Schedule 6.3 and Contracts contemplated in Section 6.8), shall, on the Closing Date and without further action by any of the Parties hereto, terminate and be of no further force or effect and each of the Company Sellers hereby acknowledges and agrees that no further payments are due, or may become due, under or in respect of any such terminated Contracts.  In addition, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall pay or otherwise satisfy all obligations of the Company to any Company Seller or any of their respective Affiliates (other than obligations of the Company to its employees for accrued salary for the current payroll period). The Company hereby confirms that, effective as of the Closing, the NovelPay, LLC 2015 Profit Interest Equity Plan, as amended, shall, without further action by any of the Parties hereto, terminate and be of no further force or effect.
6.4    General Release. Effective at the Closing, each Company Seller, on his or her own behalf and on behalf of his or her respective heirs, family members, executors, agents, and assigns (“Releasors”), hereby and forever releases Buyer and the Company and their past, present and future officers, agents, managers, employees, investors, stockholders, administrators, affiliates, parents, predecessor and successor corporations and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) from, and agrees not to sue concerning, or in any manner to institute, prosecute, or pursue, any claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that such Releasors may possess against any of the Releasees arising from any omissions, acts, facts, or damages relating to any matter involving such Company Seller’s relationship with the Company occurring prior to the Closing, including the right to any payments in respect of any Company Units held thereby as of immediately prior to the Closing, other than the payments, in the amounts and subject to the terms, explicitly set forth in this Agreement or, to the extent applicable, the TopCo Merger Agreement (collectively, but excluding the Excluded Matters described below, the “Released Matters”). Such Releasors agree that the release set forth in this section shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. The foregoing notwithstanding, this release does not extend to any rights of such Releasor (a) under the explicit terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (b) for any accrued and unpaid salary and other unpaid employee benefits and reimbursements that have vested or accrued prior to the Closing, including any vacation pay or paid time off, (c) to any transaction bonuses payable pursuant to a written employment agreement (which for the avoidance of doubt constitute Transaction Expenses hereunder), in each case owed by the Company or, to the extent applicable, TopCo, (d) to any Releasor’s rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses (whether under the Company Charter Documents, insurance policy or other Contract of the Company), (e) with respect any claims that cannot be released as a matter of law or (f) that arise after the Effective Time (collectively, the “Excluded Matters”). Each of such Releasors, having consulted with counsel, hereby agrees and acknowledges that he, she or it is aware that applicable laws in such Releasor’s state of domicile may provide that such Releasor has the right not to release existing claims of which such Releasor is not aware unless such Releasor voluntarily chooses to waive this right and

33




that such Releasor nevertheless hereby voluntarily waives such right and elects to assume all risks for all Released Matters that now exist in his, her or its favor, known or unknown. Each Company Seller represents that he or she has no lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in his or her name, or on behalf of any other Person, against Buyer or the Company or any of the other Releasees with respect to the Released Matters, and that he or she does not intend to bring any claims on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other Person against the Company or any of the other Releasees with respect to the Released Matters.
6.5    Spreadsheet.
(a)    At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a draft spreadsheet in substantially the form of Schedule I attached hereto (the “Payment Spreadsheet”) setting forth the following information, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer:
(i)    a calculation of the Adjusted Equity Value, the Purchase Price, and each component of all of the foregoing; and
(ii)    with respect to each Company Seller: (A) the name and address of such Company Seller, (B) the number and class of all Company Units held by such Company Seller, (C) the cash portion of such Company Seller’s Individual Closing Payment Amount, (D) the Buyer Common Stock portion of such Company Seller’s Individual Closing Payment Amount, (E) each Retained Unitholder’s Put/Call Amount, (F) the number of 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares to be issued to such Company Seller upon release of such shares in accordance with and subject to Section 2.6, (G) such Company Seller’s Holdback Pro Rata Portion, (H) such Company Seller’s Pro Rata Portion, (I) the amount of any required withholding on account of Taxes with respect to such Company Seller’s Individual Purchase Price Amount, and (J) the wire transfer instructions of such Company Seller with respect to the payments to be made by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4. No consent or approval of Buyer in respect of the Payment Spreadsheet shall be required in and of itself as a condition to Closing.
(b)    Buyer, any paying agent engaged by Buyer, and, following the Closing, the Company, may rely on the instructions of the Sellers’ Representative for distributions of cash and issuances of Buyer Common Stock and shall have no responsibility or liability with respect thereto; provided, that the distribution and issuance instructions of the Sellers’ Representative are followed. Buyer shall, or shall cause a paying agent engaged by Buyer to, make distributions of cash and issuances of Buyer Common Stock after the Closing to the Company Seller in the same form and in accordance with the same wiring instructions or delivery addresses, as applicable, as such distributions were made to each such Company Seller in connection with the Closing, except as otherwise indicated in any update delivered to Buyer by the Sellers’ Representative to reflect any assignments or other changes in factual information. Upon Buyer making each aggregate payment or issuance of Buyer Common Stock, required of it under this Agreement to the Company Seller in accordance with the final Payment Spreadsheet delivered by the Sellers’ Representative prior to the Closing as provided herein, Buyer shall have fulfilled its obligations with respect to such payments and issuances, as applicable. Buyer shall have, neither directly nor indirectly through the Company following the Closing, no liability whatsoever with respect to the allocation of the distribution of the payments of the Adjusted Equity Value among the Company Sellers.
(c)    No party to this Agreement shall take any tax or other position that is contrary to the allocations set forth in the Payment Spreadsheet unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.
6.6    Certain Tax Matters.
(a)    Buyer, on the one hand, and the Company Sellers, on the other (severally based on their respective Pro Rata Portion), shall be equally responsible for and shall each pay one half of all stock transfer Taxes, real property transfer or mortgage Taxes, sales Taxes, documentary stamp Taxes, recording charges and other similar Taxes, if any, arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”). The Party primarily responsible under Applicable Laws shall prepare and file, and each Party shall fully cooperate with each other Party

34




with respect to the preparation and filing of, any Tax Returns and other filings relating to any Transfer Taxes as may be required.
(b)    Preparation of Tax Returns.
(i)    The Sellers’ Representative shall timely prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, all income Tax Returns of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any IRS Forms 1065 or Schedules K-1) with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period that are filed after the Closing Date (the “Seller Prepared Tax Returns”). All such Seller Prepared Tax Returns shall be prepared at the cost and expense of the Sellers’ Representative (for the benefit of the Company Sellers and the TopCo Sellers) and in a manner consistent with past practice and this Agreement, except as otherwise required by Applicable Laws. The Sellers’ Representative shall deliver a draft of such Seller Prepared Tax Returns (together with any related workpapers, formulary apportionment calculations and supporting materials) to Buyer for its review and comment not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Seller Prepared Tax Returns are due to be filed (taking into account any applicable extensions). Within fifteen (15) days following Buyer’s receipt of any Seller Prepared Tax Return, Buyer shall notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing with any comments to such Seller Prepared Tax Return. The Sellers’ Representative shall consider any such reasonable comments of Buyer with respect to such Seller Prepared Tax Returns in good faith and Buyer shall file or cause to be filed such Seller Prepared Tax Return.
(ii)    Buyer shall timely prepare and file, or shall cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods due after the Closing Date that are not Seller Prepared Tax Returns (the “Buyer Prepared Tax Returns”). The cost and expense of such preparation and filing with respect to Buyer Prepared Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods shall be borne by the Sellers’ Representative (for the benefit of the Company Sellers and the TopCo Sellers) and the cost and expense of such preparation and filing with respect to Buyer Prepared Tax Returns for Straddle Periods shall be equitably apportioned between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative (for the benefit of the Company Sellers and the TopCo Sellers), on the other hand, based on the number of days in such Straddle Period occurring prior to or on the Closing Date and the number of days in such Straddle Period occurring after the Closing Date. Schedule 6.6(b)(ii) sets forth a complete and correct list of the Buyer Prepared Tax Returns. All Buyer Prepared Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice and this Agreement, unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws. Buyer shall deliver a draft of any income or other material Buyer Prepared Tax Returns to the Sellers’ Representative for its review and comment as soon as reasonably practicable (which, in the case of income Tax Returns, shall be not less than thirty (30) days) prior to the date on which such Buyer Prepared Tax Returns are due to be filed (taking into account any applicable extensions). As soon as reasonably practicable (which, in the case of income Tax Returns, shall be within fifteen (15) days) following the Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of any such Buyer Prepared Tax Return, the Sellers’ Representative shall notify Buyer in writing with any comments to such Buyer Prepared Tax Return. To the extent such comments relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period, Buyer shall consider such reasonable comments of the Sellers’ Representative with respect to such Buyer Prepared Tax Returns in good faith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be required to provide any U.S. federal consolidated income Tax Return (or any combined, consolidated, unified or similar income Tax Return) required to be filed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates as the “common parent” of an “affiliated group” (within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code or any similar or analogous provision of applicable income Tax law), or any portion thereof, in any form or manner whatsoever to any other Person pursuant to this Agreement, and in no event shall the Sellers’ Representative have any right to review or comment on any such Tax Return or any position taken therein.
(iii)    The Parties will cause a valid election under Section 754 of the Code to be made and maintained with respect to the Company for its taxable year that includes the Closing Date. The Tax Items of the Company shall be allocated for Tax Return reporting purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, between the pre-Closing and post-Closing portions of Straddle Periods by using the “closing of the books method” as of the end of the Closing Date.
(c)    Allocation. The Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall allocate the purchase price (as determined for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) of the Company Units sold in the Company Purchase among the

35




assets of the Company in accordance with Section 751 and Section 755 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Within thirty (30) Business Days after all items of the Final Closing Statement have become final, conclusive and binding pursuant to Section 2.5 or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative an allocation of such purchase price (such allocation, the “Allocation Schedule”) for the Sellers’ Representative’s review. The Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputed items with respect to the Allocation Schedule and, if the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer cannot resolve such disputed items following such cooperation, Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall engage the Accounting Firm to determine the final resolution with respect to such disputed items. For this purpose, the procedures set forth in Section 2.5(e) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, and all fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the parties in the manner set forth in Section 2.5(e). Any determinations made by the Accounting Firm in connection with the foregoing shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. Any adjustment to purchase price (as determined for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) of the Company Units sold in the Company Purchase shall be allocated among the assets of the Company in a manner consistent with this Section 6.6(c). All Tax Returns filed by Buyer (and any Buyer’s designee(s), as applicable), the Company Sellers, the Company, and their Affiliates shall be prepared consistently with the allocation as set forth on the Allocation Schedule (and, to the extent applicable, any updates or any determinations by the Accounting Firm with respect thereto), except upon a final determination by a Taxing Authority.
(d)    Straddle Period. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes of the Company not based upon or measured by income, activities, events, gain, receipts, proceeds, profits or similar items for the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date will be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period. The amount of any other Taxes for a Straddle Period that relate to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the day on the Closing Date (and for such purpose the taxable period of any partnership will be deemed to end at such time); provided, however, that any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (such as deductions for depreciation or real estate Taxes), other than with respect to property placed in service after the Closing, shall be apportioned on a daily basis; provided, further, that any deductions allowed to be claimed by the Company in respect of any Transaction Expenses shall be claimed as a deduction by the Company for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.
(e)    Amended Returns; Tax Elections. Except as required by Applicable Laws or as set forth on Schedule 6.6(e), Buyer will not, and will cause the Company not to, without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (i) make any amendment of any Tax Return of the Company to the extent such Tax Return relates to or includes any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period or (ii) make any election that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date.
(f)    Certain Tax Proceedings. In the event Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer (including after the Closing the Company) receives written notice of any Tax Proceeding with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company that would reasonably be expected to result in an Indemnified Tax Loss for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1(a) or an adjustment to the taxable income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of any Company Seller, Buyer shall inform the Sellers’ Representative of such Tax Proceeding as soon as possible but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after such receipt. Buyer shall afford the Sellers’ Representative the opportunity to control the conduct of such Tax Proceeding relating to income Taxes (a “Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding”), with counsel of its own choosing (and at the Sellers’ Representative’s sole cost and expense (for the benefit of the Company Sellers and the TopCo Sellers)), and to settle or otherwise resolve such Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding in such manner as the Sellers’ Representative may deem appropriate; provided, that the Sellers’ Representative may not settle such Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding without Buyer’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Sellers’ Representative shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of any material developments and events in such Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding (including by promptly forwarding copies to Buyer of any related correspondence) and shall permit Buyer to participate in such Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding and shall consult in good faith with Buyer in connection with the defense or prosecution of any such Seller-Controlled Tax

36




Proceeding. Buyer shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Proceeding relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company (if such Tax Proceeding is not a Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding) and any Straddle Periods of the Company (any such Tax Proceeding, a “Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding”); provided, that Buyer shall obtain the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding or ceasing to defend such Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding if such settlement or cessation would reasonably be expected to give rise to Indemnified Tax Loss for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1(a) or to result in an adjustment to the taxable income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of any Company Seller (including as a result of any election by the Company under Section 6226 of the Code or any corresponding election under the Treasury Regulations or any state or local law with respect to such Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding (a “Push-Out Election”)); and, provided further, that the Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose (the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by the Sellers’ Representative (for the benefit of the Company Sellers and the TopCo Sellers)) if such Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding would reasonably be expected to give rise to an Indemnified Tax Loss for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1(a) or to result in an adjustment to the taxable income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of any Company Seller (including as a result of any Push-Out Election). Buyer shall keep the Sellers’ Representative informed of all material developments and events relating to any Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding (including promptly forwarding copies to the Sellers’ Representative of any related correspondence), and shall consult in good faith with the Sellers’ Representative or the Sellers’ Representative's counsel in connection with the defense or prosecution of any such Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding, in each case, if such Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding would reasonably be expected to give rise to an Indemnified Tax Loss for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1(a) or result in an adjustment to the taxable income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of any Company Seller (including as a result of any Push-Out Election). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.6(f) shall apply, rather than Section 7.2 to any Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding or Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding to the extent of any conflict between such Sections.
(g)    Cooperation and Tax Record Retention. Buyer and any designee(s) of Buyer, as applicable shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly furnish to any of the Company Sellers (at such Company Seller’s sole cost and expense for reasonable out-of-pocket third party expenses) or the Sellers’ Representative (at the Sellers’ Representative sole cost and expense for reasonable out-of-pocket third party expenses for the benefit of the Company Sellers and the TopCo Sellers) such information as may be reasonably requested with respect to Tax matters relating to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Periods, including by providing access to relevant books and records and making employees available to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, Buyer and any designee(s) of Buyer, as applicable, shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Periods until at least thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions thereof) applicable to such Taxable periods, and shall abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority.
(h)    Tax Attributes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any Company Seller is making any representation or warranty and is not providing any other assurance, with respect to the amount of any Tax Attributes of the Company, or with respect to the availability after the Closing of any Tax Attributes of the Company.
(i)    Tax Treatment. The Parties agree that for U.S. federal income (and applicable state and local income) tax purposes, the Company Purchase shall be treated as a purchase of partnership interests.
6.7    E&O Tail Policy. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall purchase a 3-year errors and omissions tail policy with respect to Company’s current errors and omissions liability insurance coverage maintained by the Company with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Closing (collectively, the “E&O Tail Policy”). The Company shall be responsible for the cost of the E&O Tail Policy and such amount shall be deemed a Transaction Expense for purposes of this Agreement. The E&O Tail Policy shall contain terms and

37




coverage amounts at least as favorable as the terms and coverage amounts of the policies of the Company as currently in effect.

6.8    Indemnification of Officers and Managers of the Company; Insurance.

(a)    Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, continue to provide, fulfill and honor all rights to indemnification or exculpation existing in favor of a manager, officer, employee or other Affiliate of the Company (including rights relating to advancement of expenses and indemnification rights to which such persons are entitled), as provided in the Company Charter Documents, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement (and as permitted by Applicable Law), and relating to actions or events through the Closing Date, and such rights to indemnification shall survive the Company Purchase and other transactions contemplated herein, and shall continue in full force and effect, without any amendment thereto for a period of six years following the Closing.

(b)    Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall have purchased a three (3) year tail or extension of coverage policy with respect to Company’s current managers’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage maintained by Company with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Closing (including consummation of the Company Purchase) (the “D&O Tail Policy”) . The Company shall be responsible for the cost of the D&O Tail Policy and such amount shall be deemed a Transaction Expense for purposes of this Agreement.
(C)    The provisions of this Section 6.8 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Affiliate of the Company, his or her heirs and his or her personal representatives and shall survive the Company Purchase and other transactions contemplated herein, and be binding upon the successors and assigns of Buyer and the Company.
6.9    Further Assurances. Upon the request of Buyer, each of the other Parties hereto will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, all such further acts, assurances, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other instruments and papers as may be reasonably requested by any other Party to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the consummation of a Put/Call Closing).
6.10    Public Announcements. The Company and Buyer have agreed upon the form of a joint press release announcing the execution of this Agreement to be released immediately following the Closing. Following the Closing, except as required to comply with Applicable Law, (i) no Company Seller or the Sellers’ Representative shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the express prior written approval of Buyer, and (ii) Buyer will not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or filing that contains specific information naming any Company Seller or any TopCo Seller or disclosing the specific ownership or proceeds received by such Company Seller or TopCo Seller without the express prior written approval of the Company Seller or the TopCo Seller so impacted.
6.11    Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party will pay its own respective financial advisory, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred by it or for its benefit in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement, the compliance herewith and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6.12    Attorney Communications; Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation.
(a)    Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Davis & Gilbert LLP has been providing legal advice to the Company and TopCo in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that such advice constitutes attorney/client privileged communications or attorney work product (collectively, the “Attorney Work Product”). Buyer shall not knowingly review any such Attorney Work Product. Buyer hereby waives the right to present any Attorney Work Product as evidence in any lawsuit or proceeding in which any Company Seller, TopCo Seller or the Sellers’ Representative (on their behalf) is adverse to Buyer (or any Buyer Indemnified Party) in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

38




(b)    Recognizing that Davis & Gilbert LLP has been providing legal advice to the Company and TopCo, and that Davis & Gilbert LLP may act as legal counsel to certain of the Company Sellers and TopCo Sellers after the Closing, (i) the Company hereby waives, on their own behalf and agree to cause their Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Davis & Gilbert LLP representing the Company Sellers and/or TopCo Sellers after the Closing and (ii) the Company hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises between or among any of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, the Company) and any Company Seller and/or TopCo Seller, each of the Parties agree that Davis & Gilbert LLP may represent such Company Seller and/or TopCo Seller in such dispute even though the interests of such Company Seller and/or TopCo Seller may be directly adverse to Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company), and even though Davis & Gilbert LLP may have represented the Company and/or TopCo in a matter substantially related to such dispute, Buyer and the Company waive, on behalf of themselves, TopCo and each of their respective Affiliates, any conflict of interest in connection with such representation by Davis & Gilbert LLP. Buyer acknowledges, on behalf of itself, TopCo and the Company, that each has had the opportunity 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 Agreement, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than Davis & Gilbert LLP. This Section 6.12 is for the benefit of Davis & Gilbert LLP (including their respective partners and employees), which are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.12.
ARTICLE VII    
INDEMNIFICATION
7.1    Indemnification
(a)    Indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Buyer Indemnified Losses. Subject to the provisions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing, each of the Company Sellers, severally agrees, based on their respective Indemnity Pro Rata Portion, to indemnify and hold harmless, the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against the Applicable Percentage of any and all Buyer Indemnified Losses incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party. The Sellers’ Representative shall act on behalf of the Company Sellers, and the Buyer is hereby authorized to rely on determinations or communications by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Company Sellers, in connection with the indemnification provided under Section 7.1(a).
(b)    Special Indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Parties. Subject to the provisions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing, each of the Company Sellers hereby severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with, based upon, resulting from, attributable to, related to, or arising out of (i) any breach or inaccuracy by such Company Seller of any of its representations or warranties under Article IV of this Agreement or Section 8.14 (with respect to the Retained Unitholders only) or (ii) any violation, breach or default by such Company Seller of any covenants or agreements of such Company Seller under this Agreement.
(c)    Materiality Scrape. For purposes of determining the indemnification obligations under this Section 7.1, except for the Specified Instances (defined below), all references in this Agreement to the word “material,” “material respects,” “material adverse effect” and “Material Adverse Effect” (and similar materiality qualifications), shall be disregarded for purposes of determining (i) whether there has been a breach or failure of a representation or warranty for which a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and (ii) the amount of any Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder. “Specified Instances” means the use of the words “material” and “all material respects” as such terms are used in Section 3.5. It is agreed that the provisions of this Section 7.1(c) shall not change the titles of or change what otherwise constitutes a “Material Customer”, “Material Supplier” and “Material Contract”.
7.2    Defense of Third Party Claims
(a)    If any third party notifies any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Action”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, then such Buyer Indemnified Party shall promptly notify, with respect to a claim for indemnification under Section

39




7.1(a), the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Company Sellers or, with respect to a claim for indemnification under Section 7.1(b), the applicable Company Seller in writing (the “Third-Party Claim Notice”); provided, that no failure or delay on the part of the Buyer Indemnified Party to so notify the Sellers’ Representative or such Company Seller, as the case may be, shall limit any of the obligations of the applicable Indemnifying Party under Article VII, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced thereby. The Third-Party Claim Notice shall include a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and, if ascertainable, the amount of the claim. The Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, shall be entitled to control the defense of such Third-Party Action if it notifies the Buyer Indemnified Party of its election within 30 days after it receives a Third Party Claim Notice from the Buyer Indemnified Party.
(b)    The Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Sellers) or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of the Third-Party Action and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and shall attend such conferences, discovery proceedings and trials as may be reasonably requested in connection with such Third-Party Action; provided, that it shall not be required to grant access or furnish information to the extent that such information is subject to an attorney/client or attorney work product privilege; and provided further, that the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, and/or their counsel shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such joint defense agreements or other arrangements, as appropriate, so as to allow for such disclosure in a manner that does not result in the loss of attorney/client or attorney work product privilege. Each Party shall act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in addressing any adverse consequences that may result in the basis for an indemnifiable claim.
(c)    In the event that the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Sellers) or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, elects not to defend the Third-Party Action, fails to timely respond to a Third-Party Claim Notice or otherwise fails to defend the Third-Party Action in good faith, then the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Action in such manner as the Buyer Indemnified Party deems appropriate. In addition, in the event the Third-Party Action involves a Special Claim, then Buyer shall have the right to control such claim at its sole election and, if Buyer so elects, the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in the defense or settlement of, such Special Claim.
(d)    If within 30 days after a Third-Party Claim Notice is delivered to the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, such Person does not notify the Buyer Indemnified Party that it disputes such claim, the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the applicable Indemnifying Party hereunder.
(e)    In the event that, within 30 days after a Third-Party Claim Notice is delivered to the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, such Person disputes the claim for indemnification against the applicable Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Action, the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, shall attempt in good faith for 30 days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to such claim. If the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement and the agreed upon dollar amount of liability for such claim of the Indemnifying Party against whom the claim is made shall be prepared and signed by (or on behalf of) the parties. If the parties do not agree, each of the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, may take such actions and assert such rights, remedies and defenses as may then be available to it under the terms of this Agreement.
(f)    In the event a Buyer Indemnified Party has the right to defend and control a Third-Party Action in accordance with Section 7.2(c) and the Buyer Indemnified Party proposes to settle or compromise such Third-Party Action, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall provide notice to that effect (together with a statement describing in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of such settlement or compromise and including a copy of the proposed settlement agreement) to the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, which notice

40




shall be provided a reasonable time prior to the proposed time for effecting such settlement or compromise. Prior to settling or compromising any such Third-Party Action, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall obtain the written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Sellers) or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Buyer Indemnified Party effects any such settlement or compromise of such Third-Party Action with the written consent of the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, the amount payable pursuant to such settlement or compromise plus any additional related indemnifiable Losses, if any, specified in such consent shall, be payable by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the limitations and other provisions set forth in this Article VII. If a Buyer Indemnified Party effects any such settlement or compromise without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, and such consent has not been unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, then the dollar amount of the settlement or compromise shall not be dispositive of the dollar amount of the Indemnifying Parties’ obligations with respect to such Third-Party Action.
7.3    Direct Claims.  In any case in which a Buyer Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder which is not subject to Section 7.2, the Buyer Indemnified Party will notify the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, in writing of any Losses which such Buyer Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof. Such notification must state in reasonable detail, to the extent such information is reasonably available, the nature, amount and circumstances of such claim, and be accompanied by any other documentation or information reasonably required by the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, to evaluate the claim. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, if the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, does not notify the Buyer Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written notification that the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, disputes all or any portion of such claim, the amount of such undisputed claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder (subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Section 7.5 hereof). In case an objection is made in writing by the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, within such thirty (30)-day period, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a written statement to the objection. If the Buyer Indemnified Party so responds, or the time to respond has expired, and there remains a dispute as to any claim, the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each such claim. If the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, do not agree within such thirty (30)-day period, each of the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative or the applicable Company Seller, as the case may be, may take such actions and assert such rights, remedies and defenses as may then be available to it under the terms of this Agreement.
7.4    No Circular Recovery.  The Sellers’ Representative hereby agrees that it will not, and no Company Seller shall, make any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses against Buyer by reason of the fact that such Company Seller was a controlling person, officer, manager, member, unit holder employee, agent or representative of the Company (whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, Company Charter Document, Contract or otherwise) with respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnified Party in accordance with this Agreement.
7.5    Limits on Liability.
(a)    Termination of Indemnification Obligations of the Company Sellers. The obligation of the Company Sellers to indemnify under Section 7.1(a) for Indemnified Company Representation Losses shall terminate on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, except (x) as to matters as to which the Buyer Indemnified Party has made a good faith claim for indemnification under Sections 7.2 or 7.3 hereof on or prior to such date and (y) with respect to any claim for Indemnified Company Representation Losses pertaining to a misrepresentation or a breach of a Fundamental Company Representation. The obligation to indemnify referred to in:
(i)    the preceding clause (x) shall survive the expiration of such period until such claim for indemnification is finally resolved and any obligations with respect thereto are fully satisfied; and

41




(ii)    the preceding clause (y) shall terminate sixty (60) days after the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions or waivers thereof), except as to matters as to which any Buyer Indemnified Party has made a claim for indemnification on or prior to such date, in which case the right to indemnification with respect thereto shall survive the expiration of any such period until such claim for indemnification is finally resolved and any obligations with respect thereto are fully satisfied.
For avoidance of doubt, all covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed in accordance with their respective terms.
(b)    Minimum Claim Amount; Indemnity Threshold. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified for any Indemnified Company Representation Losses as to any individual indemnification claim with respect to such Losses if the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to any such claim does not exceed $10,000 (the “Minimum Claim Amount”). For purposes of illustration and not limitation, in determining whether the Minimum Claim Amount has been met, an individual Loss occurring or arising out of a fact pattern shall be aggregated with all other individual Losses arising out of identical or substantially similar fact patterns. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified for any Indemnified Company Representation Losses unless and until the sum of all Indemnified Company Representation Losses exceed $187,500 (the “Threshold”); provided, however, that after the Threshold has been met, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified for all such Indemnified Company Representation Losses including the amount of the Threshold. The Parties agree that the limitations set forth in this Section 7.5(b) shall not apply to any breach of a Fundamental Company Representation or Indemnified Company Representation Losses that arise as a result of Fraud.
(c)    Maximum Liability. Except in the case of Fraud, (i) the maximum aggregate liability of the Company Sellers under this Agreement shall be an amount equal to 100% of the total Purchase Price paid or payable by the Buyer to the Company Sellers pursuant to Section 2.4 and Section 8.14 hereof, and (ii) each Company Seller’s individual liability for such claims shall not exceed such Company Seller’s Individual Purchase Price Amount.
(d)    Exclusive Remedy for Indemnified Company Representation Losses is the Holdback Consideration. Buyer agrees that the Holdback Consideration has been withheld and held back by the Buyer to support the payment of indemnification claims by the Buyer Indemnified Parties following the Closing. Buyer, on behalf of itself and the other Buyer Indemnified Parties, acknowledges and agrees that except with respect to Fraud and breaches by the Company of the Fundamental Company Representations, recovery from the Holdback Consideration shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for Indemnified Company Representation Losses. Except with respect to Fraud and breaches by the Company of the Fundamental Company Representations, any deduction made from the Holdback Consideration in respect of an Indemnified Company Representation Loss incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII shall constitute full satisfaction of any obligation of each applicable Company Seller to make such payment to the Buyer Indemnified Party.
(e)    Clarification of Term “Losses”. Except in the case of Fraud, the Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall any Indemnifying Party hereunder be liable to a Buyer Indemnified Party for any punitive, exemplary or special damages unless such damages were actually assessed against the Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with a Third-Party Action. In addition, the term “Losses” as used in this Agreement shall only include consequential damages, damages for lost profits or any similar measure of damages if (i) the Buyer Indemnified Party seeking such damages is able to prove all elements necessary for recovery of such damages under Delaware law, or (ii) if such damages were actually assessed against the Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with a Third-Party Action.
(f)    Insurance Proceeds. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article VII shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by a Buyer Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss, less such Buyer Indemnified Party’s out-of-pocket costs of obtaining or receiving such recovery, including any deductible paid in obtaining such proceeds and increased costs of insurance related to the making of such claim, including retrospective premium adjustments and experienced based premium adjustments. In the event that an insurance recovery is made by any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses for which such Person has been indemnified hereunder and has received funds in the amount of the Losses or portion thereof,

42




then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the insurance recovery (less such Buyer Indemnified Party’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs of receiving such recovery, including any deductible paid in obtaining such proceeds and increased costs of insurance related to the making of such claim), but in no event in excess of the amount of such indemnification payment, shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party.
In addition, in the event Buyer obtains actual knowledge that a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to recovery under the E&O Tail Policy and/or the D&O Tail Policy, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to submit to the relevant insurance provider a corresponding claim for recovery.
(g)    Duplication of Recovery. No Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to indemnification hereunder for any amount that was already included in the Net Working Capital Adjustment, the Closing Net Debt Amount or the Purchase Price Overpayment amounts in accordance with this Agreement.
7.6    Procedures for Claims; Payment of Holdback Consideration
(a)    Claims. Buyer shall be entitled to reduce the Holdback Consideration by the amount necessary to satisfy and pay the amount of any Buyer Indemnified Losses with respect to which a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII by deducting from the Holdback Consideration a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount of such Buyer Indemnified Losses by (ii) the Issue Price as of the Closing Date, if such reduction is with respect to the 1st Anniversary Holdback Shares, or the Initial Release Date, if such reduction is with respect to the 2nd Anniversary Holdback Shares.
(b)     Distributions. The Holdback Consideration shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6 herein.
7.7    Exclusive Remedy.  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the indemnification provisions of this Article VII and the adjustments set forth in Section 2.5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Agreement, except for (i) claims arising out of Fraud and (ii) injunctive relief or specific performance and other equitable remedies.
7.8    Acknowledgement of Sellers’ Representative.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Buyer Indemnified Party shall only deal with the Sellers’ Representative with respect to an indemnification claim made pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and the Company Sellers will be bound by any action or agreement of the Sellers’ Representative made on their behalf with respect to an indemnification claim made pursuant to Section 7.1(a).
7.9    Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnity payments by an Indemnifying Party to a Buyer Indemnified Party under this Article VII shall be treated by the Parties for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Adjusted Equity Value.
7.10    Notices. Any notice, request, demand, claim or other communication required or permitted to be delivered, given or otherwise provided under this Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered personally, delivered by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or sent by electronic mail (subject to electronic confirmation of receipt, if requested). Any such notice, request, demand, claim or other communication shall be deemed to have been delivered and given (a) when delivered, if delivered personally, (b) the Business Day after it is deposited with such nationally recognized overnight courier service, if sent for overnight delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (c) the day of sending, if sent by facsimile or electronic mail prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on any Business Day or the next succeeding Business Day if sent by electronic mail after 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on any Business Day or on any day other than a Business Day, in each case, to the following address, or to such other address or addresses or facsimile number or numbers as such Party may subsequently designate to the other Parties by notice given hereunder:

7.11    Succession and Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, each of which such successors and permitted assigns will be deemed to be a Party for all purposes hereof. No Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder, without the prior written approval of Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, and any attempt to do so will be null and void ab initio.

44




Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assignees, and nothing herein expressed or implied will give or be construed to give any Person, other than the Parties and such successors and permitted assignees, any other right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
7.12    Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative (and in the case of any amendment to Section 8.14, the prior written consent of each of the Retained Unitholders as well), or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective (with the Buyer acting, after the Closing, on behalf of the Company). No waiver by any Party of any breach or violation of, default under or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach or violation of, default under, or inaccuracy in, any such representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof.
7.13    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with and any other documents, instruments and certificates explicitly referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties, covenants, or undertakings, other than those expressly provided for herein and therein.
7.14    Counterparts; Facsimile Signature. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement will become effective when duly executed and delivered by each Party. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or electronic delivery (i.e., by email of a PDF signature page) and each such counterpart signature page will constitute an original for all purposes.
7.15    Provisions Concerning the Sellers’ Representative.
(a)    Appointment. At the Closing, and without further act of the Company or any of the Company Sellers, the Sellers’ Representative is hereby appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact for each of the Company Sellers, for and on behalf of the Company Sellers, to give and receive notices and communications and to take any and all action on behalf of the Company Sellers pursuant to this Agreement and in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as specified herein, except for matters involving a Company Seller’s individual indemnification obligations to a Buyer Indemnified Party set forth in Section 7.1(b) hereof. Any vacancy in the position of the Sellers’ Representative may be filled by approval of the Company Sellers entitled to receive at least a majority of the Purchase Price to be issued and paid pursuant to Section 2.4. No bond will be required of the Sellers’ Representative, and the Sellers’ Representative will not receive compensation for its, his or her services; provided, that the Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to reimbursement of expenses pursuant to Section 8.6(c). Notices or communications to or from the Sellers’ Representative will constitute notice to or from each of the Company Sellers. Each Company Seller, by virtue of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, has (i) agreed that all actions taken by the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement shall be binding upon such Company Seller and such Company Seller’s successors, heirs and permitted assigns as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Company Seller, (ii) waived any and all defenses which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Sellers’ Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement, and (iii) granted the Sellers’ Representative full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof, and to take all actions otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, in each case on behalf of such Company Seller and his or her successors, heirs and permitted assigns. The Sellers’ Representative acknowledges that it has carefully read and understands this Agreement and hereby accepts the appointment and designation made hereunder.
(b)    Actions of the Sellers’ Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative (acting in its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative as authorized under Section 8.6(a)) will constitute

45




a decision of all of the Company Sellers and will be final, conclusive and binding upon each of the Company Sellers, and Buyer may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each of the Company Sellers; provided, however, that any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative in respect of an individual Company Seller’s breach (or asserted breach) of any representation, warranty or covenant of such Company Seller herein shall not be effective against such Company Seller without the prior written consent of such Company Seller. Buyer is hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by Buyer in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative. Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts that it reasonably determines to be experienced in the matter at issue, and will not be liable to any Company Seller for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith based on such advice or that it otherwise reasonably believes are necessary or appropriate under the Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative is serving in its capacity as such solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable in such capacity for any of the obligations of any Company Seller hereunder, and Buyer agrees that it will not look to the personal assets of Sellers’ Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by any of the Company Sellers hereunder.
(c)    Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund. The Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund Amount will be used solely to pay costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative for the benefit of the Company Sellers pursuant to this Agreement on or after the Closing Date, and will be paid or distributed at the direction of the Sellers’ Representative (the “Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund”). The Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund will be held by the Sellers’ Representative as agent and for the benefit of the Company Sellers in a segregated client account. The Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Sellers) will hold these funds in trust. Promptly following the Second Release Date, the Sellers’ Representative will distribute the then-remaining balance of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund (if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company Sellers, based on their respective Pro Rata Portion. For Tax purposes, the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Sellers at the time of Closing. Promptly following the appointment of a successor Representative pursuant to Section 8.6(a), the Sellers’ Representative will transfer the then-remaining balance of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund, if any, to the successor Sellers’ Representative.
(d)    In the event that any amount is owed by the Sellers’ Representative in respect of any actions it has taken hereunder, whether for fees, expense reimbursement or otherwise, that is in excess of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund (or after any or all of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund has been disbursed to the Company Sellers), the Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to be reimbursed by the Company Sellers, severally and not jointly, for the shortfall in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portion. Each Company Seller hereby severally and not jointly, indemnifies the Sellers’ Representative for such Company Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of any costs, fees and expenses incurred by Sellers’ Representative in excess of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund Amount arising out of its serving as the Sellers’ Representative hereunder.
(e)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers’ Representative shall not have any authority to take any action with respect to Section 8.14 hereunder, or to act on behalf of any Retained Unitholder with respect to Section 8.14 or the transactions contemplated therein.
7.16    Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision hereof would, under applicable law, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, each Party intends that such provision will be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable laws.
7.17    Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY MATTER OR DISPUTE ARISING HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE LAWS OR RULES OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE RELATING TO CONFLICT OF LAWS.

46




7.18    Resolution of Disputes.
(a)    No Party to this Agreement shall institute a proceeding in any court or administrative agency to resolve a dispute between the parties arising out of or related to this Agreement before that party has sought to resolve the dispute through direct negotiation in good faith with the other party.
(b)    If the dispute is not resolved within three (3) weeks after a demand for direct negotiation, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute through nonbinding mediation in New Castle County, Delaware, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its commercial mediation rules and procedures then in effect. If the mediator is unable to facilitate a settlement of the dispute within a reasonable period of time (but no more than three (3) weeks), any Party may then seek relief as provided in Section 8.9(c).
(c)    Subject to Section 8.9(b), any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be instituted in any state or federal court in New Castle County, Delaware, and each Party waives any objection which such Party may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action, suit or proceeding.
(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including this Section 8.9, each Party shall have the right to at any time apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for preliminary injunctive relief.
7.19    Certain Matters of Construction.
(a)    The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(b)    Section and subsection headings are not to be considered part of this Agreement, are included solely for convenience, are not intended to be full or accurate descriptions of the content of the Sections or subsections of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction hereof.
(c)    Except as otherwise explicitly specified to the contrary herein, (i) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or subsection of this Agreement and reference to a particular Section of this Agreement shall include all subsections thereof, (ii) references to a Section, Exhibit, Annex or Schedule means a Section of, or Exhibit, Annex or Schedule to this Agreement, unless another agreement is specified, (iii) definitions shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined, and references to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include each other gender, (iv) the word “including” means including without limitation, (v) any reference to “$” or “dollars” means United States dollars and (vi) references to a particular statute or regulation include all rules and regulations thereunder and any successor statute, rule or regulation, in each case as amended or otherwise modified from time to time.
(d)    Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, when used herein “or” shall not be exclusive (i.e., “or” shall mean “and/or”).
(e)    Time is of the essence with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement.
7.20    Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OF IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR

47




ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRAIL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SUCH ACTIONS WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
7.21    Specific Enforcement. Each of the Parties agrees that irreparable harm for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that it does not fully and timely perform its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement and the Closing) in accordance with its terms. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that (a) the other Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages and without posting a bond, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such other Parties are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right to obtain an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law.
7.22    Limitation on Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, no claim arising in whole or in part out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, interpretation, construction, validity or enforcement of this Agreement (whether sounding in contract, tort, statute or otherwise) shall be brought or maintained by or on behalf of any Party or any of its Affiliates or their respective successors or permitted assigns against any Person not a Party. Without limitation of the foregoing, no claim described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be brought or maintained against any past, present or future officer, director, employee, agent, direct or indirect general or limited partner, manager, management company, direct or indirect member, stockholder, equityholder, or controlling Person, representative or Affiliate, or any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of any of the foregoing, of Buyer, the Company, the Company Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative, as applicable (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”), and no recourse shall be had against any of them in respect of any such claim, including in connection with any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of or omission in any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any Party set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder.
7.23    Attorney’s Fees. If any action is brought to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing party, which fees may be set by the court in the trial of such action, or may be enforced in a separate action brought for that purpose, and which fees shall be in addition to any other relief which may be awarded.
7.24    Put/Call Rights on Retained Units.

(a)    Put Trigger Date. At any time on or after September 1, 2018, each Retained Unitholder may provide written notice (the “Put Notice”) to Buyer that such Retained Unitholder is electing to sell to Buyer, and Buyer is required to purchase from such Retained Unitholder, on a date no less than five (5) days following the Put Notice (such date, the “Put Date”), all of such Retained Unitholder’s Retained Units for an aggregate amount equal to the Put/Call Amount (as defined below) (the “Put Right”).
(b)    Call Trigger Date. At any time on or after October 1, 2018, Buyer may provide written notice (the “Call Notice”) to any Retained Unitholder that Buyer is electing to purchase from such Retained Unitholder and such Retained Unitholder is required to sell to Buyer, on a date no less than five (5) days following the Call Notice

(ii)    Agabs/Horowitz. Agabs and Horowitz shall receive cash equal to their applicable Put/Call Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such Company Seller.

(iii)    Representations. The following representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of the Put/Call Closing:
