At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub or the Company, (a) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company shall be amended and restated in the form of Exhibit A and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof or as provided by applicable Law, and (b) the bylaws of the Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company or as provided by applicable Law; provided that, in each case, the name of the corporation set forth therein shall be changed to MicroPact Holdings, Inc.

1.4    Officers of the Surviving Company. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the officers of the Surviving Company until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

1.5    Common Stock of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or Parent, each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall each be converted into and exchanged for one (1) share of common stock of the Surviving Company.

1.6    Effect on Company Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the Sellers, as the case may be:

(b)    Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock, including, subject to Section 1.7, Vested Restricted Stock but excluding Unvested Restricted Stock, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, extinguished and automatically converted

into the right to receive an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration (as reduced at the Closing by the Per Share Portion of each of the Holdback Amounts and the Representative Expense Fund Amount consistent with Section 1.9(a), and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.10(e)) in cash, payable in accordance with and subject to the conditions provided in this ARTICLE I.

(c)    Treasury Stock. Each share of treasury stock of the Company, if any, shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid or delivered in exchange therefor.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including this Section 1.6, shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Common Stock cancelled in accordance with Section 1.6(c)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder's appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares of Common Stock) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws, or loses such holder's right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6(b), without interest thereon. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

1.7    Employee Loans; Treatment of Unvested Restricted Stock.

(a)    To the extent that the purchase price for any shares of the Vested Restricted Stock payable under the applicable Restricted Stock Award Agreement was paid by a promissory note or other form of a loan or advance by the Company or its predecessor and any amounts payable pursuant to such note, loan or advance remain unpaid and outstanding as of the Closing, the amounts payable to the respective Seller by Parent pursuant to Section 1.6(b) shall be reduced by the applicable amounts so owed by such Seller in order to satisfy such obligations in full (the aggregate of the unpaid amounts as of the Closing of all Sellers pursuant to such notes, loans or advances, the “Seller Loans Balance”).

(b)    At the Effective Time, each share of Unvested Restricted Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, shall be canceled and extinguished. Holders of Unvested Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive an Unvested Restricted Stock Refund Payment to the extent required by such holder’s Restricted Stock Award Agreement(s).

1.8    Merger Consideration. The aggregate consideration in respect of all shares of Common Stock and Vested Restricted Stock shall be an amount equal to (a) One Hundred and Eighty-Five Million Dollars ($185,000,000), plus (b) the amount, if any, by which the Working Capital exceeds the Working Capital Target, minus (c) the amount, if any, by which the Working Capital Target exceeds the Working Capital, minus (d) Transaction Expenses, plus (e) the Seller Loans Balance (such resulting amount pursuant to clauses (a)-(e), and as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.10, the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration shall be allocated among the Sellers as specified in the Pre-Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 1.10. The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Parent, Merger Sub nor the Surviving Company shall have any liability to any Person relating to, or obligation to verify, the allocation of the Merger Consideration among the Sellers as set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement (including with respect to the determination of the Per Share Merger Consideration and the Per Share Portion), and upon payment of the amounts set forth in this Section 1.8 in accordance with the Pre-Closing Statement, Parent and Merger Sub will have satisfied all of their respective obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto, subject to any adjustments to the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.10.

1.9    Closing Payments. At the Closing, Parent shall make or cause to be made, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the following payments (each such payment, a “Closing Payment”):

(a)    payment to the account designated by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, appointed by Parent to act as its paying agent in the Merger (the “Paying Agent”) of a cash amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Estimated Closing Consideration payable to the Sellers accordance with Section 1.6(b) and as set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement to be distributed by the Paying Agent to the Sellers in accordance with this ARTICLE I; provided, that if any Seller has not delivered to Parent a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificate(s) prior to the Closing Date, the amount allocated with respect to such Seller will be paid to the Paying Agent on behalf of such Seller (and distributed thereto upon delivery of such executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificate(s)). The term “Estimated Closing Consideration” means the Estimated Merger Consideration less (i) the Holdback Amounts and less (ii) the Representative Expense Fund Amount.

(b)    payment to the Representative of a cash amount equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (such amount, the “Representative Expense Fund Amount”) to a bank account designated in writing by the Representative; and

(c)    payment on behalf of the Group Companies, to the payees thereof, of an aggregate cash amount equal to the amount of all Closing Date Indebtedness of the type identified in item (i) of the definition of “Indebtedness” and all Transaction Expenses (other than the Unvested Restricted Stock Refund Payments, which shall instead be paid by Parent to the account designated by the Company for further distribution to the holders of Unvested Restricted Stock entitled thereto in accordance with Section 1.7(b)).

Each of the Closing Payments shall be made in the amounts and as set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 1.10.

1.10    Adjustment of the Merger Consideration.

(a)    Pre-Closing Statement. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or at such earlier time as may reasonably be practicable), the Company shall deliver to Parent a statement (the “Pre-Closing Statement”) including or setting forth the following:

(i)    a good faith estimate of the Closing Balance Sheet;

(ii)    a calculation of estimated Working Capital;

(iii)    the amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness and the holders thereof;

(iv)    the amounts of the Transaction Expenses and the payees thereof, including the Unvested Restricted Stock Refund Payments, including wiring instructions with respect to each payee of Transaction Expenses;

(v)    the Company’s good faith estimate of the Merger Consideration as of the Adjustment Time (the “Estimated Merger Consideration”); and

(vi)    the allocation of the Estimated Closing Consideration among Sellers.

The Pre-Closing Statement shall include reasonably detailed calculations with respect to each component of the Estimated Merger Consideration. As applicable, the Pre-Closing Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the definitions of the terms Working Capital, Transaction Expenses and the Accounting Rules and practices referred to therein, including the definitions of any defined terms used in such definitions and including as reflected on Exhibit B).

(b)    Final Merger Consideration Adjustment. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted following the Closing based on the difference between the Final Closing Date Merger Consideration (as determined in accordance with this Section 1.10) and the Estimated Merger Consideration, if any, and payment shall be made in respect of any such post-Closing adjustment as set forth in Section 1.10(e).

(c)    Closing Statement. No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be prepared in good faith and delivered to the Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”), including an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Adjustment Time (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and setting forth Parent’s calculation of the Merger

Consideration as of the Adjustment Time (“Closing Date Merger Consideration”). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the definitions of the terms Working Capital, Transaction Expenses and the Accounting Rules and practices referred to therein (including as reflected on Exhibit B). The Closing Statement shall entirely disregard (i) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Group Companies as a result of the Transaction or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Parent or its Affiliates or any other transaction entered into by Parent or its Affiliates in connection with the consummation of the Transaction and (ii) any of the plans, transactions, or changes which Parent intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to any Group Company or their respective businesses or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Parent or its Affiliates or any of their assets or liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, unless the Representative otherwise agrees in writing, Parent may not amend, adjust, supplement or modify the Closing Statement or the amount of Closing Date Merger Consideration following its delivery to the Representative. If Parent fails to deliver the Closing Statement within such ninety (90)-day period, then in addition to any other rights the Representative may have under this Agreement, the Representative shall have the right to elect that the Estimated Merger Consideration be deemed to be the amount of the Closing Date Merger Consideration and be final and binding and used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 1.10(e). The Parties acknowledge that no adjustments may be made to the Working Capital Target.

(d)    Disputes.

(i)    The Representative shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Statement to review the Closing Statement; provided that if Parent does not promptly provide access or other information specified in Section 1.10(f) (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of any request by the Representative), then the Representative shall have thirty (30) days plus the number of days between the date of the Representative’s request for such access or information and the date Parent grants or provides such access or information. If the Representative disagrees with Parent’s calculation of the Closing Date Merger Consideration as set forth in the Closing Statement, the Representative may, within such period, deliver a written notice to Parent (a “Dispute Notice”) disagreeing with such calculation and, to the extent reasonably able to so specify, setting forth the Representative’s basis for such disagreement (the “Disputed Items”). If the Representative fails to deliver a Dispute Notice during such period, the Representative shall have waived its rights to contest the Closing Statement and the calculations of the Closing Date Merger Consideration set forth therein shall be deemed to be final and binding upon the Parties, and such amount shall be used as the Final Closing Date Merger Consideration for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 1.10(e).

(ii)    If a Dispute Notice is duly delivered pursuant to Section 1.10(d)(i), the Representative and Parent shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, attempt to reach an agreement on all or a portion of the Disputed Items. If Parent and the Representative reach an agreement on any Disputed Item during such period, the resolution of such Disputed Items shall be in writing and shall be final and binding upon the Parties. If, during such thirty (30)-day period, the Representative and Parent are unable to reach an

agreement on all of the Disputed Items, then all Disputed Items remaining in dispute following such thirty (30)-day period shall be submitted by the Representative and Parent to the Accounting Referee (the “Referred Disputed Items”) as promptly as reasonably practicable for a determination resolving such Referred Disputed Items (it being agreed and understood that the Accounting Referee shall act as an arbitrator to determine the Referred Disputed Items (and, as a result thereof, the Closing Date Merger Consideration) and shall do so based solely on presentations and information provided by Parent and the Representative, as further specified below, and not by independent review). In conducting its review, the decision of the Accounting Referee shall be solely based on (A) the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement, (B) a single presentation by each of the Representative and Parent limited to the Referred Disputed Items (which presentations the Accounting Referee shall be instructed to forward to Parent and the Representative, as applicable) and (C) one (1) written response submitted to the Accounting Referee by each of the Representative and Parent within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of each such presentation (which responses the Accounting Referee shall be instructed to forward to Parent and the Representative, as applicable), and not on independent review. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Referee shall be limited to resolving the Referred Disputed Items, and, in connection therewith, fixing mathematical errors and determining whether the Referred Disputed Items were determined in accordance with this Agreement (including the definition of the terms Working Capital, Transaction Expenses and the Accounting Rules) and the Accounting Referee is not to make any other determination. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to the Representative and Parent, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date of engagement of the Accounting Referee), a report setting forth its calculations of the Closing Date Merger Consideration based solely upon (x) the Accounting Referee’s final determination of the Referred Disputed Items and (y) the items which were finally determined pursuant to Sections 1.10(d)(i) and 1.10(d)(ii) and not submitted to the Accounting Referee for resolution, which such Closing Date Merger Consideration amount shall not be less than the applicable amount thereof shown in Parent’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 1.10(c) nor more than the amount thereof shown in the Representative’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 1.10(d)(i). Such report shall be final and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error, and shall be used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 1.10(b). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the dispute resolution mechanism contained in this Section 1.10(d) shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving disputes regarding the Merger Consideration adjustment. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Referee in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by the Parties in proportion to the relative amount each Party’s determination has been modified, with any amount borne by the Representative to be paid out of the Representative Expense Fund Amount. For example, if the Representative challenges the calculation of the Closing Date Merger Consideration by an amount of $100,000, but the Accounting Referee determines that the Representative has a valid claim for only $60,000, the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) shall bear 40% of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee and Parent shall bear the other 60% of such fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee. The Representative

and Parent shall, and Parent shall cause the Group Companies, and each of its and their representatives to, reasonably cooperate and assist in any review by the Accounting Referee of the Closing Statement and the calculations of the Closing Date Merger Consideration.

(e)    Final Closing Date Merger Consideration. Following the time that the Closing Date Merger Consideration is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.10 (such finally determined amount, the “Final Closing Date Merger Consideration”), payment shall be made as follows:

(i)    If the Final Closing Date Merger Consideration is greater than or equal to the Estimated Merger Consideration (the amount of such excess, the “Increase Amount”), then within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Date Merger Consideration is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.10, (A) Parent shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the Increase Amount to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Sellers who delivered to Parent a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificate(s) prior to such time), and (B) Parent shall disburse the Adjustment Holdback Amount to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Sellers who delivered to Parent a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificate(s) prior to such time).

(ii)    If the Final Closing Date Merger Consideration is less than the Estimated Merger Consideration, then within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Date Merger Consideration is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.10, (A) the Adjustment Holdback Amount shall be deemed automatically reduced by the full amount of such deficiency (for purposes of clarity, the absolute amount of such deficiency will be subtracted from the Adjustment Holdback Amount thereby resulting in a reduction of the Adjustment Holdback Amount) (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Adjustment Holdback Amount shall be the sole source of recovery for any payment required to be made to Parent pursuant to this Section 1.10(e)(ii)), and (B) Parent shall disburse in accordance with Section 1.11 to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Sellers who delivered to Parent a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificate(s) prior to such time) the balance of the Adjustment Holdback Amount, if any, remaining after the reduction of the Adjustment Holdback Amount pursuant to the preceding clause (A).

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.10(e), if, at the time that Parent is required to make any payments to the Paying Agent (on behalf of the Sellers) pursuant to this Section 1.10(e), any Seller has not delivered Parent a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificate(s) prior to such time, then the amount allocated with respect to such Seller will be paid to the Paying Agent on behalf of such Seller (and distributed thereto upon delivery of such executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificate(s)).

Upon payment of the amounts provided in this Section 1.10(e) in accordance herewith, none of the Parties may make or assert any claim under this Section 1.10.

(f)    Cooperation. During the period of time from and after the Closing Date through the final determination and payment of the Final Closing Date Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.10, Parent shall afford, and shall cause the Group Companies to afford, to the Representative and any accountants, counsel or financial or other advisers retained by the Representative in connection with the review of the Closing Date Merger Consideration, and afford to the Accounting Referee in connection with any review by it in accordance with Section 1.10(d)(ii), direct access during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to all the books, properties, records, contracts, documents, information, personnel and representatives of the Group Companies and their accountants (including the work papers of the Surviving Company’s accountants) relevant to the review or preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Closing Date Merger Consideration and, if requested by the Representative, shall provide any such books, records, contracts, documents and information electronically and in such formats as are reasonably requested.

(g)    No Further Ownership Rights in Common Stock. The Estimated Closing Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE I, subject to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement, payment of the amounts provided in Section 1.11, and the rights of Sellers with respect to the Holdback Amounts, the Representative Expense Fund Amount and any Additional Merger Consideration Payment, each as provided herein, shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by the Stock Certificates. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Company.

(h)    Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split), or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

1.11    Other Payments. In order to facilitate the payment of any Other Seller Payments pursuant to this Agreement, such funds shall be paid to an account designated by the Paying Agent (on behalf of the Sellers) for distribution to the Sellers entitled thereto on a pro rata basis (based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Share), subject to such Sellers delivering to Parent a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificate(s) prior to such time. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Parent and the Surviving Company shall have no liability to any Person relating to, or obligation to verify, the allocation of any Other Seller Payment among the Sellers as set forth in this Section 1.11, and upon payment of any Other Seller Payment in accordance with this Section 1.11 or as directed by the Representative, Parent will have satisfied all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto.

1.12    Withholding. Parent, the Company and Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it reasonably determines it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payments under any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or foreign tax Law and instead shall pay such amount to the applicable Governmental Authority. Before making any such deduction or withholding described in the previous sentence, except for (a) any withholding required as a result of a failure to deliver the certificate as described in Section 2.3(h), (b) any withholding on payments under any compensatory payments made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the payments with respect to Vested Restricted Stock and the payment of any Unvested Restricted Stock Refund Amount, Parent shall give the Representative notice of the intention to make such deduction or withholding, and such notice, which shall include the authority, basis and method of calculation for the proposed deduction or withholding, at least three (3) Business Days before such deduction or withholding is required, in order for the Representative to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are properly so withheld by Parent, the Company, or Paying Agent, and paid to the applicable Governmental Authority, such amounts withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipient in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent or other withholding agent.

1.13    Letters of Transmittal.

(a)    Promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall deliver to each Seller a Letter of Transmittal in a form mutually agreed to by Parent and the Company (a “Letter of Transmittal”). Promptly following the receipt by the Paying Agent of the Estimated Closing Consideration, the Paying Agent shall deliver to each Seller who delivered to Parent a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificates(s) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date the portion of the Estimated Closing Consideration allocated to each such Seller in accordance with the Pre-Closing Statement and to the bank account designated in such Seller’s Letter of Transmittal. Following the Closing, but subject to Section 1.13(c), upon delivery by a Seller that did not receive such portion of the Estimated Closing Consideration promptly following the Closing pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to Parent of a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificate(s), the Paying Agent shall pay to such Seller within five (5) Business Days after such delivery, (x) the amounts to which such Seller is entitled to pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and (y) if the Final Closing Date Merger Consideration has been finally determined as of such time, the amounts to which such Seller is entitled to pursuant to Section 1.10(e), in each case, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such Seller in such Seller’s Letter of Transmittal. No interest or dividends will be paid or accrued on the consideration payable to any Seller hereunder. At the Effective Time, all Common Stock will cease to exist and each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any Stock Certificate that prior to the Effective Time represented such shares of Common Stock) shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all purposes, to evidence the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.6(b) and of the Other Seller Payments as provided in Section 1.11. If after the Effective Time, any Stock Certificate is presented to the Paying Agent, it shall be exchanged as provided in this Section 1.13(a).

(b)    In the event that any stock certificate representing the shares of Common Stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of a customary affidavit of that fact by the Seller claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent or the Surviving Company, as applicable, will pay, in exchange for the shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the consideration to which such Seller would otherwise be entitled pursuant to Section 1.6(b) without any requirement to post any bond or other security.

(c)    Promptly following the date that is one (1) year after the Closing Date, Parent may instruct the Paying Agent to deliver to the Surviving Company all cash delivered to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement that is still in its possession at such time, in which case the Paying Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, each Seller may deliver a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificates(s) to the Surviving Company and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and the Surviving Company shall promptly pay, the portion of the Merger Consideration deliverable to such Seller in respect of its Surrendered Certificates(s) as determined in accordance with this ARTICLE I without any interest thereon.

1.14    Merger Consideration Holdbacks. Parent shall retain, and not pay at Closing, the Holdback Amounts for the purpose of securing any adjustment to the Merger Consideration to be paid by the Sellers in accordance with Section 1.10(e) and any indemnification claims pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iv). The Holdback Amounts shall be paid to the Sellers in the amount and at such time(s) as contemplated by Section 1.10(e) and Section 9.5(b), respectively.

1.15    Additional Merger Consideration.

(a)    EBITDA Statement. On or before February 1, 2020, Parent shall cause to be calculated and delivered to the Representative a statement (an “EBITDA Statement”), setting forth Parent’s calculation of the Net EBITDA for the period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2019 (the “Measurement Period”). During the thirty (30) days following the delivery of the EBITDA Statement, Parent shall provide the Representative and its advisors access to such accounting and other records of the Group Companies to the extent requested and reasonably necessary to evaluate the accuracy of the EBITDA Statements. If, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the EBITDA Statement, the Representative does not deliver to Parent written notice of a dispute with respect to the calculations set forth in such EBITDA Statement, then the Net EBITDA set forth in the EBITDA Statement shall be deemed to be the Net EBITDA for all purposes under this Agreement and Parent shall pay, or cause the Company to pay, the applicable Additional Merger Consideration Payment no later than March 15, 2020. In the event the Representative delivers written notice to Parent within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the EBITDA Statement stating that the Representative objects to Parent’s calculation thereof and specifying the basis for such objection in reasonable detail and setting forth the proposed modification to such EBITDA Statement, such dispute shall be resolved in the same manner as any dispute regarding the Closing Statement in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.10(d) (for the avoidance of doubt, the Accounting Rules shall not apply to calculation of the Net EBITDA); provided, however, that once the Net EBITDA is finally determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.10(d), the applicable Additional Merger Consideration Payment (as defined below) shall

be made no later than the later of (x) March 15, 2020 and (y) the date that is ten (10) days following such date of final determination.

(b)    Additional Merger Consideration Payment. Subject to Section 1.15(a), in the event the Net EBITDA for the Measurement Period exceeds the minimum EBITDA threshold set forth below, Sellers shall be entitled to receive, and Parent shall pay (or cause the Surviving Company to pay) to the Representative (for distribution to Sellers in accordance with Section 1.11), the applicable additional Merger Consideration payment set forth in the table below (the “Additional Merger Consideration Payment”) in accordance with this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, any Additional Merger Consideration Payments made to Sellers will be treated as additional Merger Consideration.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in no event shall the Additional Merger Consideration Payment exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).

(c)    Operation of the Group Companies during the Measurement Period.

(a)    Without prejudice to Parent's obligations set forth in Section 5.4(d), each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable (i) to consummate and make effective as promptly as possible, but in no event later than the Termination Date, the Transactions, (ii) obtain or provide, or cause to be obtained, as set forth in Section 3.3(a), all consents or approvals by or notices to third parties that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, (iii) to obtain all Governmental Approvals of any Governmental Antitrust Authority required to be obtained by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with the Transactions or the taking of any action contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) to defend vigorously, lift, mitigate or rescind the effect of any litigation or administrative proceeding involving any Governmental Antitrust Authority (including a private party challenge) adversely affecting this Agreement or the Transactions, including promptly appealing any adverse court or administrative decision; provided, however, that neither the Company and its Affiliates, nor the Parent and Merger Sub, shall be required to make any material monetary expenditures, offer or grant any material accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Person or commence or be a plaintiff in any litigation to satisfy their obligations under this Section 5.4(a); provided, further, that neither the Company and its Affiliates, nor the Parent and its Affiliates, shall be required to sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of the business

of the Group Companies or the Parent or its Subsidiaries in order to satisfy their obligations under this Section 5.4(a).

(b)    Each of the Company and Parent shall (i) as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the date of this Agreement) file or cause to be filed with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) the notification and report form, if any, required for the Transactions (which form shall request early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act) and to supply as promptly as practicable any supplemental information requested in connection therewith pursuant to the HSR Act and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable make all filings under the applicable Other Competition Laws, if any, required for the Transactions, and shall take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and the applicable Other Competition Laws. Any such antitrust notification and report form or filing and supplemental information shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act or the applicable Other Competition Laws, as the case may be. All other regulatory filings shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of applicable Law. Each of Parent and the Company shall furnish to the other Party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other Party may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act, the applicable Other Competition Laws or other applicable Law, as the case may be. The Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to comply promptly with any inquiries or requests for additional information from the FTC, the DOJ, other Governmental Antitrust Authorities and any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction.

(c)    Without limiting the generality of the undertakings set forth in Sections 5.4(a), 5.4(b) and 5.4(e) and subject to any appropriate confidentiality protections, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall each furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with Section 5.4(b) and shall each promptly provide counsel for the other Party with copies of all filings made by such Party, and all correspondence between such Party (and its advisors) with any Governmental Antitrust Authority, other Governmental Authority or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, and any other information supplied by such Party and such Party’s Affiliates to a Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions. Subject to applicable Law, the Company and Parent shall permit counsel for the other Party reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and shall consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with, any proposed written or, if practicable, oral communication to any Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions. Each of the Company and Parent agrees not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate.

(d)    Without expanding any obligation set forth under this Section 5.4, Parent agrees to consider, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and, as determined in its good faith, to take, or cause to be taken, such reasonable actions with respect to the Group Companies, post-Closing, that are identified by any Governmental Antitrust Authority as a condition to the granting of any Governmental Approval necessary for the consummation of the Transactions or as may be required to avoid, lift, vacate, reverse or resolve any legislative, administrative or judicial action (including any suit instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by the FTC, the DOJ or any other applicable Governmental Authority or any private party challenging the Transactions as a violation of the HSR Act or Other Competition Laws) that would otherwise reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay the consummation of the Transactions. Parent’s consideration of any such reasonable action shall be undertaken in good faith, and if, after such good-faith consideration, Parent and its Affiliates determine that they will not undertake the action, such decision shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Group Companies understand and acknowledge that neither Parent, nor any of its Affiliates, will depreciate, sacrifice, limit, alter or cannibalize the pre-Closing existing lines of business or operations of the Parent and its Affiliates, even if such action is identified as a condition for consummation of the Transactions by a Governmental Antitrust Authority. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed so as to require Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than, after the Closing, the Group Companies, to the extent such action is determined and agreed to by Parent under this Section 5.4(d)), to (i) sell, license, dispose of, hold separate or operate in any specified manner any of its respective assets or businesses (or to discuss, agree or commit to any of the foregoing), other than assets or businesses of the Group Companies, or (ii) enter into any consent decree, Order or agreement that alters its business or commercial practices in any way or that in any way limits or could reasonably be expected to limit the right of Parent to own, operate or retain all or any portion of Parent’s assets, properties or businesses (other than, after the Closing, the Group Companies) or Parent’s freedom of action with respect thereto. Further, Parent and/or its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to take such action as identified by a Governmental Antitrust Authority if not agreed to by the Company. To the extent Parent and/or its Affiliates do decide to take such action as identified by a Governmental Antitrust Authority with respect to the Group Companies, such action, provided it has been agreed to by the Company, shall not constitute a violation of Section 1.15(c).

(e)    Without limiting any other obligation under this Agreement, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall not take or agree to take any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the Parties from obtaining any Governmental Approval in connection with the Transactions, including entering into an agreement to acquire (whether via merger, consolidation, stock or asset purchase or otherwise) any material amount of assets of or any equity in any other Person or any business or division thereof if such agreement would be reasonably expected to create a material risk of making it more difficult to obtain the Governmental Approval of the FTC or DOJ or any other Governmental Antitrust Authority required in connection with the Transactions.

(f)    The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred with obtaining any consents or approvals from third parties or giving notices as set forth in clause (ii) of Section 5.4(a) (provided, however, that any such fees and expenses shall be paid by the Company in full prior to the Closing or accrued in full on the books and records of the Company prior to the Closing). Parent (i) shall be responsible for the filing of the Certificate of Merger and (ii) shall pay the filing fee under the HSR Act. Each of the Company and Parent shall otherwise be responsible for their respective fees and expenses in connection with their respective filings under the HSR Act.

5.5    Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give notice to Parent and Parent shall give notice to the Company, as promptly as reasonably practicable, upon becoming aware of (a) any fact, change, condition, circumstance, event, occurrence, or non-occurrence that has caused or is reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement made by it to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at any time after the date of this Agreement and before the Effective Time that would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 6.2(a) and 6.2(b) or Sections 6.3(a) and 6.3(b), as applicable, not to be satisfied as of the Closing Date, (b) any material failure on its part to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, or (c) the institution of or a credible written threat of institution of any Legal Proceeding related to this Agreement or the Merger; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available under this Agreement to such Party (including the right to seek indemnification in accordance with ARTICLE VIII or ARTICLE IX and the rights of the Representative to seek indemnification in accordance with Section 10.13), the representations or warranties of the Parties, or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties; provided further, however, that the unintentional failure to give notice under this Section 5.5 will not be deemed to be a breach of covenant under this Section 5.5 and will constitute only a breach of the underlying representation, warranty, condition or agreement, as the case may be.

5.6    Confidentiality. Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that the information provided to it and its representatives in connection with this Agreement (including Section 5.2(a)) and the Transaction is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated September 19, 2018, by and between Parent and MicroPact, Inc.

5.8    Publicity. None of the Representative or, prior to the Closing, the Company, on the one hand, or Parent, Merger Sub or, following the Closing, the Surviving Company, on the other hand, shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement, the other

Transaction Agreements or the Transaction or make any other public disclosure containing or pertaining to the terms of this Agreement without obtaining the Representative’s or Parent’s, as applicable, prior written approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless, in the judgment of the Party seeking to disclose, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which such disclosing Party lists securities; provided that, to the extent any disclosure is required by applicable Law or stock exchange rule, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with applicable Law or stock exchange rule to consult with the Representative or Parent, as applicable, with respect to the text thereof and; provided, further, that (i) the Company and Representative, on the one hand, and Parent and its equityholders and Affiliates, on the other hand, shall be entitled to disclose such information to their respective directors, officers, executive employees, equity owners, partners, prospective partners, investors, prospective investors, professional advisors and lenders who have a need to know the information and who agree to keep such information confidential or are otherwise bound to confidentiality and (ii) Parent’s financing sources and other professional advisors may publish “tombstones” or other customary announcements which do not contain pricing details that are not otherwise publicly available.

5.9    Director and Officer Liability; Indemnification.

(a)    For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Parent shall cause the Group Companies, to the fullest extent provided in the Organizational Documents thereof or in any other agreements disclosed on Section 5.9 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, in each case as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, to indemnify and hold harmless (and advance applicable expenses to) each Person who is as of the Effective Time, or has been at any time prior to the Effective Time, an officer, manager or director of a Group Company (each, a “D&O Indemnified Person”) against any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any claim, threatened, pending or completed, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or Losses arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date and relating to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Person was an officer, manager or director of any Group Company.

Such policy shall provide coverage that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Group Companies’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; provided that the Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date. The premium amounts for such tail policies shall be fully paid by the Company prior to the Closing or included as a Transaction Expense. Any such tail policies shall include a successor endorsement that names Parent and the Surviving Company as additional insureds. During the term of such tail policies, neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall take any action

following the Closing to cause any such tail policy to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived.

(c)    If Parent, the Surviving Company, any of the Operating Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and other assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the applicable successors and assigns or transferees expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

5.4    Frustration of Closing Conditions. No Party may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this ARTICLE VI to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such Party’s failure to use best efforts to cause the Closing to occur, as required by Section 5.3(a).

(a)    This Agreement may be terminated and the Transaction may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(i)    by mutual written consent of Parent and the Representative;

(ii)    by either the Representative or Parent, if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction in the United States shall have issued an Order or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transaction (after giving effect to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s respective obligations under Section 5.4) and such Order or other action shall have become final and nonappealable;

(iii)    by either the Representative or Parent, if the Closing does not occur on or prior to May 1, 2019 (such date, as it may be extended by the written mutual agreement of the Parties or as provided in this Section 7.1(a)(iii), the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(a)(iii) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement has been a principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date; and, provided further, that, if at any time prior to the Termination Date the DOJ or the FTC makes a request for additional information or documentary materials from either or both of the Company or Parent authorized by Section 7A(e) of the Clayton Act (a “Second Request”), then the Termination Date shall be extended for an additional

sixty (60) days unless Parent and the Representative by mutual written consent agree not to extend the Termination Date;

(iv)    by the Representative, upon written notice to Parent, if there shall have been a breach of any of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Sub or any of such representations and warranties shall have become untrue in a manner that would result in any conditions set forth in Sections 6.3(a), 6.3(b) or 6.3(c) not being satisfied prior to the Termination Date, such breach or inaccuracy has not been waived by the Representative, and the breach or inaccuracy, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within thirty (30) days following the Representative’s written notice to Parent of such breach or inaccuracy or is not capable of being cured on or prior to the Termination Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(a)(iv) shall not be available to the Representative if the Company is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained herein;

(v)    by Parent, upon written notice to the Representative, if there shall have been a breach of any of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Company or any of such representations and warranties shall have become untrue in a manner that would result in any conditions set forth in Sections 6.2(a), 6.2(b) or 6.2(c) not being satisfied prior to the Termination Date, such breach or inaccuracy has not been waived by Parent, and the breach or inaccuracy, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within thirty (30) days following Parent’s written notice to the Representative of such breach or inaccuracy or is not capable of being cured on or prior to the Termination Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(a)(v) shall not be available to Parent if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained herein;

from the Company or the Representative relating to the Transaction, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof.

7.2    Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated and the Transaction is abandoned as described in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of any Party or their respective directors, officers, employees, owners, representatives or Affiliates, and the Transaction shall be abandoned without further action by the Parties, except for (i) the penultimate sentence of Section 5.2(a) (Access to Information) and (ii) Sections 7.2 (Effect of Termination) and ARTICLE X (Miscellaneous), each of which, shall survive such termination. Nothing in this Section 7.2, however, shall be deemed to release any Party from any liability for any willful breach by such Party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement prior to termination. For purposes of this Sections 7.2, “willful” shall mean a breach that is a consequence of an act undertaken by the breaching Party with the knowledge (actual or constructive) that the taking of such act would, or would be reasonably expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement.

8.1    Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties are entering into this Agreement with the intention that the Merger qualify as a taxable purchase of the stock of the Company for federal income tax purposes, and none of the Parties or any Seller will take any position or actions inconsistent with such treatment.

8.2    Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Representative, the Surviving Company, and Parent shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as any of them reasonably may request of the others, and at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party, in preparing or filing any Tax Return pursuant to this ARTICLE VII or in connection with any audit, examination or other Legal Proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Group Companies. Such cooperation and information shall include providing powers of attorney, copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of the Representative, the Surviving Company, and Parent shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of The Company for any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the Taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by any of the other parties in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods.

8.3    Tax Returns.

(a)    The Company shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of the Group Companies required to be filed by it that are due on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions), and shall timely pay all Taxes that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions). Any such Tax

Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law).

(b)    The Representative shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Group Companies after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Seller Tax Return”). Any such Seller Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Group Companies’ past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and, if it is an income or other material Tax Return, shall be submitted by the Representative to Parent (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Parent, supporting documentation) at least forty-five (45) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Parent objects to any item on any such Seller Tax Return, Parent shall, within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify the Representative in writing that it so objects, specifying with reasonable particularity any such item and stating with reasonable specificity the factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Parent and the Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Parent and the Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Representative of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Accounting Referee and any determination by the Accounting Referee shall be final. The Accounting Referee shall resolve any disputed items within twenty (20) days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by the Representative and then amended to reflect the Accounting Referee’s resolution. The costs, fees, and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall ultimately be borne by Parent, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, in the same proportion as the aggregate amount of the disputed items that is unsuccessfully disputed (as determined by the Accounting Referee) by Parent and the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), as applicable, bears to the total amount of the disputed items submitted to the Accounting Referee. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Accounting Referee shall be borne by the Party incurring such cost and expense.

(c)    Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Group Companies after the Closing Date with respect to a Straddle Period (a “Parent Tax Return”). Any such Parent Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Group Companies’ past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and, if it is an income or other material Tax Return, shall be submitted by Parent to the Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by the Representative, supporting documentation) at least forty-five (45) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If the Representative objects to any item on any such Parent Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Representative shall, within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Parent in writing that it so objects, specifying with reasonable particularity any such item and stating with reasonable specificity the factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Parent and the Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Parent and the Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten days after receipt by Parent of such

notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Accounting Referee and any determination by the Accounting Referee shall be final. The Accounting Referee shall resolve any disputed items within twenty (20) days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Parent and then amended to reflect the Accounting Referee’s resolution. The costs, fees, and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall ultimately be borne by Parent, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, in the same proportion as the aggregate amount of the disputed items that is unsuccessfully disputed (as determined by the Accounting Referee) by Parent and the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), as applicable, bears to the total amount of the disputed items submitted to the Accounting Referee. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Accounting Referee shall be borne by the Party incurring such cost and expense. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Group Companies that does not relate to a Straddle Period shall be exclusively within the control of Parent.

8.4    Straddle Period Taxes. To the extent permissible under applicable Laws, the Parties agree to elect (and have the Company and each Operating Subsidiary elect) to have each Tax year of the Company and each Operating Subsidiary to end on the Closing Date and, if such election is not permitted or required in a jurisdiction with respect to a specific Tax such that the Company or any Operating Subsidiary is required to file a Tax Return for a Straddle Period, to utilize the following conventions for determining the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date: (i) in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall equal the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes (including income Taxes, sales Taxes, employment Taxes, withholding Taxes, etc.), the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Company or Operating Subsidiary filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology.” For purposes of clause (ii), (A) any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as compared to the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; and (B) any item (or Tax) resulting from a Parent Closing Date Transaction shall be attributed to the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of allocating amounts required to be included by Parent or any Group Company in income under Section 951(a) or 951A of the Code with respect to any Straddle Period of a foreign Group Company, the taxable year of the relevant foreign Operating Subsidiary giving rise to the income required to be included shall be deemed to close on the Closing Date in the same manner as described above.

8.5    Contests. Parent agrees to give written notice to the Representative of the receipt of any written notice by a Group Company or the Surviving Company, Parent, or any of Parent’s Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Legal Proceeding, in each case relating to Taxes and in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Parent pursuant to Section 8.10 (a “Tax Claim”); provided that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Parent’s right to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Sellers are materially prejudiced thereby. The Representative shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim that relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Seller Tax Claim”); provided, however, that the Representative shall obtain the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a Seller Tax Claim or ceasing to defend such Seller Tax Claim; and, provided, further, that Parent shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Seller Tax Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Parent. Parent shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim that relates to a Straddle Period (a “Parent Tax Claim”); provided, however, that Parent shall obtain the prior written consent of Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a Parent Tax Claim or ceasing to defend such Parent Tax Claim; and, provided, further, that Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Parent Tax Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Representative (on behalf of the Sellers).

8.6    338(g) Elections. Neither Parent nor any Group Company shall make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the Transactions, or make any other Tax election or take any other action that has the effect of increasing the amount of Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

8.7    Other Tax Matters. Parent shall cause the Group Companies that are U.S. entities to join Parent’s “consolidated group” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(h)) effective on the day after the Closing Date.

8.8    Transfer Taxes. Any Transfer Taxes payable in connection with the Transaction shall be borne solely by Parent. Except as otherwise required by Law, Parent shall duly and timely prepare and file any Tax Return relating to such Taxes. Parent shall give the Representative a copy of each such Tax Return for its review and comments at least fifteen (15) days prior to filing and shall give the Representative a copy of such Tax Return as filed, together with proof of payment of the Taxes shown thereon to be payable. The Parties further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority responsible for Taxes or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce, or eliminate any Transfer Taxes (to the extent applicable) that could be imposed with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

8.9    Tax Refunds. Parent shall cause the Company to pay to the Representative for the benefit of the stockholders of the Company, promptly upon receipt thereof, any and all refunds of Taxes (including interest thereon if any received from any Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) received after the Closing Date with respect to, or attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, except to the extent that such refund (i) arises as the result of a carryback of a loss or other Tax benefit from a period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date or (ii) is included in the calculation of Working Capital.

8.10    Tax Indemnification. Except to the extent treated as a liability in the calculation of Working Capital, Sellers shall (severally, but not jointly, based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Share) indemnify Parent, the Surviving Company, and each Purchaser Indemnitee and hold them harmless from and against (a) all income Taxes of the Group Companies or relating to the business of the Group Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (b) all income Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary group of which a Group Company (or any predecessor of a Group Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state, or local Law; (c) all income Taxes of any person imposed on a Group Company arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by Contract (other than a Contract entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business that does not primarily relate to Taxes), relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date, and (d) all Taxes arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and incurred by a Group Company (except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Agreement) with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, all Transfer Taxes. In each of the above cases, Sellers shall (severally, but not jointly, based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Share) reimburse Parent for any Taxes of the Group Companies that are the responsibility of Sellers pursuant to this Section 8.10 within sixty (60) Business Days after Parent or the Surviving Company provides written notice to the Representative of the payment of such Taxes, which notice shall set forth the amount and type of such Taxes with reasonable specificity, and certified evidence of payment thereof. The limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 9.4, including the limitations set forth in Section 9.4(a) and Section 9.4(b), shall apply to this Section 8.10 mutatis mutandis.

8.11    Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment for Tax purposes to the Merger Consideration, unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law.

8.12    Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII shall survive until the earlier of (A) the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation, or extension thereof) plus 60 days and (B) the six (6)-year anniversary of the Closing Date.

8.13    Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to ARTICLE IX may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII shall govern. The indemnities of Sellers set forth in this ARTICLE VIII and the indemnities of Sellers set forth in ARTICLE IX, to the extent relating to Taxes, shall be applied without duplication.

9.1    Survival of Representations and Covenants. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.1, the representations and warranties of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub contained in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV, or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(e) or Section 6.3(d), shall survive the Closing until March 15, 2020. The representations and warranties in Section 3.1 (Organization and Power), Section 3.2 (Authorization of Agreement), Section 3.4 (Capitalization; Operating Subsidiaries), Section 3.24 (Financial Advisors), Section 4.1 (Organization and Power), Section 4.2 (Authorization of Agreement), Section 4.5 (Financial Capability), Section 4.6 (Solvency), and Section 4.8 (Financial Advisors) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive until the earlier of (A) the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable for breach of contract claims in the State of Delaware and (B) the six (6)-year anniversary of the Closing Date. The representations and warranties contained in Section 3.10 (Taxes) shall survive until the earlier of (A) the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation, or extension thereof) plus 60 days and (B) the six (6)-year anniversary of the Closing Date. All covenants set forth herein to be performed prior to or at the Closing shall terminate at the Closing, and all other covenants set forth herein to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms. It is the express intent of the Parties that, if an applicable survival period set forth in this Section 9.1 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise apply, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations shall be reduced to the survival period contemplated hereby. Any claim for indemnity under this Agreement with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant shall be deemed time-barred, and no such claim shall be made after the survival period specified in this Section 9.1; provided, however, that if a claim notice is delivered in good faith pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of this ARTICLE IX with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, the indemnification claim under this ARTICLE IX with respect to such representation, warranty or covenant shall survive until such indemnification claim is finally resolved pursuant to this ARTICLE IX.

9.2    General Indemnification.

(a)    Subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE IX, from and after the Closing, each Seller shall (severally but not jointly based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Share), indemnify, defend and hold each of Parent, Merger Sub and/or their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents (each a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) harmless from any direct damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, claims of any kind, interest or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (“Loss”) actually incurred as a result of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company (A) contained in ARTICLE III or (B) in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(e), (ii) any breach by any Seller of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed after the Closing Date, (iii) any claim made by any Seller relating to the calculations and determinations set forth on the Pre-Closing Statement of such Person’s rights with respect to the Total Merger Consideration or any part thereof or (iv) the potential

material liability described as “Microsoft SPLA Matter” in Section 3.16(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Potential Liability”).

(b)    Subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE IX, from and after the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify, defend and hold each Seller and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (each a “Seller Indemnitee” and, together with any Purchaser Indemnitee, an “Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any Loss actually incurred as a result of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Merger Sub (A) contained in ARTICLE IV or (B) in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.3(d), or (ii) any breach by Parent or the Surviving Company (including by way of being the successor of Merger Sub and the Company) of any of their respective covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by Parent or the Surviving Company, as applicable, after the Closing Date.

(c)    The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for the applicable period set forth in Section 9.1, except for claims for indemnification asserted in good faith prior to the end of such applicable period (which such specific claims shall survive until final resolution thereof).

9.3    Notice of Claims; Third Party Claims.

(a)    Notice of Claims.

(i)    Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall give promptly (and, in any event, within the applicable periods set forth in Section 9.1) to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnitor”) a written notice (the “Notice of Claim”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Notice of Claim (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement upon which such claim is based; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give the Claim Notice promptly as required by this Section 9.3(a) shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights under this ARTICLE IX except to the extent (x) such failure is actually prejudicial to the rights and obligations of the Indemnitor or (y) such Notice of Claim is delivered after the expiration of the applicable periods set forth in Section 9.1.

(ii)    After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this ARTICLE IX shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Losses suffered by it. All amounts due to the Indemnified Party as so finally determined shall be paid by wire transfer within thirty (30) days after such final determination.

(b)    Third Party Claims.

(i)    If a claim, action, suit or proceeding by a Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”) is made against any Indemnified Party, and if such Person intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this ARTICLE IX, such Indemnified Party shall promptly (and, in any event, within the applicable periods set forth in Section 9.1) give a Notice of Claim to the Indemnitor; provided that the failure to give such Notice of Claim shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent (x) such failure is actually prejudicial to the rights and obligations of the Indemnitor or (y) such Notice of Claim is delivered after the expiration of the applicable periods set forth in Section 9.1. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnitor, within five (5) days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a Person be physically served with a complaint with regard to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnitor with a copy of the complaint within five (5) days after receipt thereof and shall deliver to the Indemnitor, within five (5) days after the receipt of such complaint, copies of notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim (or in each case such earlier time as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitor to respond to the court proceedings on a timely basis).

(ii)    The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to assume the conduct and control, at the expense of the Indemnitor, of the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall, at its sole cost and expense, cooperate with the Indemnitor in connection therewith; provided that the Indemnitor shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party (and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party). So long as the Indemnitor is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim. If the Indemnitor elects to conduct the defense and settlement of a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle such Third Party Claim; provided, that, in such event, it shall waive any right to indemnity by the Indemnitor for all Losses related to such claim unless the Indemnitor shall have consented to such payment or settlement. If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s Notice of Claim hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement. The Indemnitor shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), enter into any settlement that does not include as a term thereof the giving by the Person(s) asserting such claim to all Indemnified Parties of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or consent to entry of any judgment.

(iii)    All of the Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and each of Parent and the Surviving Company (or a duly authorized representative of such Party) shall (and shall cause the Group Companies to) furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such

conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

9.4    Limitation on Indemnification Obligations. The rights of the Purchaser Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 are subject to the following limitations:

(a)    The Purchaser Indemnitees, on the one hand, and the Seller Indemnitees, on the other hand, shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(i) until the total amount which the Purchaser Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, respectively, would recover thereunder (as limited by the provisions of Section 9.4(f) and Section 10.15), but for this Section 9.4(a), exceeds $1,850,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, respectively, shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount, subject to the other limitations herein; provided, that Losses indemnifiable in respect of (i) breaches of the Fundamental Representations, (ii) the Potential Liability, or (iii) any facts or circumstances which constitute Actual Fraud shall neither be applied toward, nor limited by, the Deductible.

(b)    The maximum liability of Sellers under Section 9.2(a) or of Parent and the Surviving Company under Section 9.2(b) with respect to indemnifiable Losses (except with respect to breaches of Fundamental Representations, the Potential Liability or in cases of Actual Fraud) shall be an amount equal to $9,000,000.

(c)    The maximum liability of Sellers under Section 9.2(a) or of Parent and the Surviving Company under Section 9.2(b) with respect to indemnifiable Losses for breaches of Fundamental Representations and in cases of Actual Fraud shall not exceed the Final Closing Date Merger Consideration. The maximum liability of Sellers under Section 9.2(a)(iv) with respect to indemnifiable Losses related to the Potential Liability shall be not exceed the Special Holdback Amount.

(d)    The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) for any Loss to the extent that (i) prior to the date hereof the Group Companies recorded a reserve in their consolidated books and records with respect to such Loss or in a general category of items or matters similar in nature to the specific items or matters giving rise to such Loss, (ii) such Loss was taken into account in the Final Closing Date Merger Consideration or if Parent shall have requested a reduction in the Merger Consideration in a Dispute Notice on account of any matter forming the basis for such Loss or alleged Loss, (iii) the Purchaser Indemnitees could have, with commercially reasonable efforts, mitigated or prevented such Loss, or (iv) such Loss results from or is magnified by the action or inaction of any Purchaser Indemnitee after the Closing.

(e)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Losses for which Sellers may be liable pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) shall exclude all Losses relating to the breach of any representation or warranty of the Company to the extent the Representative establishes to a reasonable certainty that Parent or Merger Sub had actual knowledge as of the Closing of material information that is materially inconsistent with the representation or warranty on which the claim of the Purchaser Indemnitee is based, and could reasonably be expected to have an

understanding of the relevance of such materially inconsistent information to such representation and warranty, and thereby it can reasonably be concluded that Parent or Merger Sub has waived the right to rely on such representation or warranty or should be estopped from asserting such claim as a result thereof. Parent and Merger Sub expressly acknowledge Sellers’ and the Representative’s right to establish that Parent or Merger Sub have waived such right or should otherwise be estopped from asserting such claim based on the breach of such representation or warranty due to such actual knowledge.

(f)    The amount of any and all Losses shall be determined net of (i) any amounts recovered or recoverable by the Purchaser Indemnitees under insurance policies or other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses, in each case, net of costs of collection resulting from making any claim thereunder and (ii) any Tax benefits realizable by or accruing to the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to such Losses.

(g)    In the event that a Purchaser Indemnitee realizes Tax benefits or recovers, under insurance policies or from other collateral sources, any amount in respect of a matter for which such Purchaser Indemnitee was indemnified pursuant to Section 9.2(a), such Purchaser Indemnitee shall promptly pay over to an account or accounts designated by the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) for distribution to the Sellers the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the expenses incurred by such Purchaser Indemnitee in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid to or on behalf of such Purchaser Indemnitee in respect of such matter and (ii) any amount expended by the Sellers in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter; and

(h)    For purposes of determining Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(i) (but not for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred), the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be considered without regard to any materiality qualification (including such terms as “material,” “Company Material Adverse Effect” and “Parent Material Adverse Effect”) set forth therein.

9.5    Manner of Payment.

(a)    Except as provided in Section 9.5(b) with respect to the Potential Liability, any indemnification payment to be made by Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE IX is to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Indemnified Party within five (5) Business Days after the date of the determination of the indemnification payment either by a mutual agreement of Parent and the Representative or by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event Sellers are the Indemnitors, then Purchaser may elect, in its sole discretion and upon written notice to the Representative, that all or any part of any indemnification payment to be made to the Purchaser Indemnitees (provided that such indemnification payment has been determined either by a mutual agreement of Parent and the Representative or by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction) is to be paid by reduction, dollar for dollar, of the Additional Merger Consideration Payment actually payable to Sellers.

(b)    As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Surviving Company shall initiate an effort on behalf of Parent and the Surviving Company and use its best efforts to confirm and resolve, including with any necessary third party or third parties, the Potential Liability. This effort shall be led by Kristoffer Collo in his capacity as President, MicroPact, of the Surviving Company, or his designee (subject to reasonable approval by Parent), in consultation with Parent and the Representative. The Surviving Company’s objective shall be to confirm and resolve the Potential Liability, while minimizing the costs, fees, expenses and settlement amounts payable in connection with such efforts, no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after Closing (the “Resolution Date”). Parent and the Representative acknowledge and agree that it may not be possible to determine with certainty the amount of the Potential Liability on or before the Resolution Date and, therefore, that the Resolution Date shall be extended for such additional period as reasonably necessary to make such determination, as mutually agreed in writing by Parent and the Representative. Once the Potential Liability is confirmed and resolved, (i) if the amount thereof (the “Resolved Amount”) is greater than zero, the Special Holdback Amount shall be deemed automatically reduced by the Resolved Amount, (ii) if the Resolved Amount is less than the Special Holdback Amount (including if the Resolved Amount is zero), Parent shall disburse the balance of the Special Holdback Amount to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Sellers who delivered to Parent a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificate(s) prior to such time). If the Resolved Amount is greater than the Special Holdback Amount, then the Representative may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such excess amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent within five (5) Business Days after the date of the determination of the Resolved Amount, or, in the event the Representative elects not to make such payment, Parent shall cause such excess amount to be recorded as a 2019 expense on the consolidated income statement of the Group Companies (regardless of whether Parent may have accrued a balance sheet reserve for any portion of the Potential Liability), which shall not constitute a violation of Section 1.15(c). If the amount of the Potential Liability has not been finally determined on or before the first anniversary of the Closing, Parent and the Representative agree to negotiate the release of the Special Holdback Amount (through the disbursement to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Sellers) except to the extent all or any portion thereof is reasonably subject to continuing negotiations or dispute with a third party or third parties as to the amount of the Potential Liability. This Section 9.5(b) shall be the exclusive manner of payment by or on behalf Sellers with respect to the Potential Liability. Parent shall otherwise be responsible for any payment to a third party or third parties with respect to the Potential Liability.

9.6    Representative. Each Seller hereby appoints the Representative to act as the agent of the Sellers with full power to resolve all questions, disputes, conflicts and controversies concerning Losses as provided in this ARTICLE IX. Purchaser Indemnitees are entitled to rely on the acts and agreements of the Representative as the acts and agreements of the Sellers under this ARTICLE IX. With respect to any amount payable to the Seller Indemnitees under this ARTICLE IX by Parent, payment by Parent of such amount to the Representative shall be deemed a payment of such amount to the Seller Indemnitees, and upon making any such payment to the Representative, Parent shall have no further obligation or liability with respect thereto.

9.7    Exclusive Remedy. Except (a) with respect to the matters covered by Sections 1.10 and 1.15, (b) in the case where a Party seeks to obtain specific performance pursuant to Section 10.10, (c) a Party’s right to seek and obtain any other equitable relief to which it shall be entitled under any other Transaction Agreement, (d) any Party’s right to seek any remedy on account of the Company’s Actual Fraud or actual common law fraud of Parent or Merger Sub arising under this Agreement, as applicable and (e) the Representative’s rights to indemnification under Section 10.13, from and after the Closing, the rights of the Parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parties with respect to any matter in any way arising from or relating to this Agreement or its subject matter. Subject to the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Parties hereby waive all other rights and remedies with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith, whether under any Law at common law, in equity or otherwise.

10.1    Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated hereby or thereby and the consummation of the Transaction. Parent shall be solely responsible for all governmental fees and charges applicable to any requests for Governmental Approvals or to the consummation of the Transaction. Parent, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other hand, shall each pay one-half of all charges and expenses of the Paying Agent in connection with this Agreement.

10.2    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

10.3    SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. SUBJECT TO SECTION 1.10(d)(ii) AND SECTION 1.15(a) (WHICH WILL GOVERN ANY DISPUTE RESPECTIVELY ARISING THEREUNDER), THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, BREACH OR TERMINATION THEREOF, INCLUDING CLAIMS SEEKING REDRESS OR ASSERTING RIGHTS UNDER ANY LAW, SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE (THE “DELAWARE COURTS”). IN THAT CONTEXT, AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY:

(a)    SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY ACTION RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE DELAWARE COURTS, AND APPELLATE COURTS HAVING

JURISDICTION OF APPEALS FROM ANY OF THE FOREGOING COURTS, AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH DELAWARE COURTS OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH APPELLATE COURTS;

(b)    CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION MAY AND SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN SUCH COURTS AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OR JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH ACTION IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)    WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ITS PERFORMANCE UNDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT;

(d)    AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 10.8; AND

(e)    AGREES THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

10.4    Recovery of Costs and Attorneys’ Fees . If there are any Legal Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, after the entry of a final written non-appealable order, if one Party has prevailed in the dispute, it shall be entitled to recover from the other Party all court costs, fees and expenses relating to such Legal Proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees that are specifically included in such court award.

10.5    Further Assurances. After the Closing, each Party shall from time to time, at the request of and without further cost or expense to the other, execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and assumption and take such other actions as may reasonably be requested in order to more effectively consummate the Transaction.

10.6    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto), the documents delivered pursuant hereto and the other Transaction Agreements represent the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the Transaction and supersedes all prior agreements among the Parties respecting the Transaction. The Parties have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the Transaction exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement; and the Parties expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

10.7    Amendments and Waivers. Prior to Closing, this Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by Parent and the Company. Following Closing, this Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by Parent and the Representative. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In the event any provision of any other Transaction Agreement shall in any way conflict with the provisions of this Agreement (except where a provision therein expressly provides that it is intended to take precedence over this Agreement), this Agreement shall control.

10.8    Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications to any Party or given under this Agreement will be in writing and delivered personally, by overnight delivery or courier, by registered mail, or by electronic transmission (with confirmation of receipt of electronic transmission) to the Parties at the address or electronic mail address specified below. Each notice, request, demand, or communication that is mailed, delivered, or transmitted in the manner described above shall be deemed sufficiently given, served, sent, and received for all purposes at such time as it is delivered to the addressee with the return receipt, the delivery receipt, the affidavit of messenger, the confirmation of receipt of electronic transmission, or at such time as delivery is refused by the addressee upon presentation. Each Party may designate by notice in writing a new address to which any notice, demand, request, or communication may thereafter be so given, served, or sent.

10.9    Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transaction is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transaction is consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.10    Specific Performance.

(a)    Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone, even if available. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which any Party may be entitled at law or in equity, before or after the Closing, each Party shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking. Each of the Parties further agrees that it shall not object to, or take any position inconsistent with respect to, whether in a court of law or otherwise, (i) the appropriateness of the specific performance contemplated by this Section 10.10 and (ii) the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts set forth in Section 10.3 with respect to any action brought for any such remedy.

(b)    Each Party further agrees that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.10, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such party under this Agreement or in the event that the remedies provided

for in this Section 10.10 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 10.10 shall require any Party to institute any action for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 10.10 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under ARTICLE VII, nor shall the commencement of any action pursuant to this Section 10.10 or anything set forth in this Section 10.10 restrict or limit any such Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE VII, or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

10.11    No Third-Party Beneficiaries; No Recourse Against Affiliates. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to give any rights to any Person or entity other than (a) the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, (b) the Purchaser Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees and (c) each D&O Indemnified Person, who shall have the right to enforce the obligations of Parent and the Company solely with respect to Section 5.9. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Company, any Operating Subsidiary, any Seller or any of its respective Affiliates shall have any liability (whether in Law or in equity or in contract or in tort) for any obligations or liabilities of the Company arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transaction, including any alleged nondisclosure or misrepresentations made by any such Persons.

10.12    Assignment. No Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any right, interest or obligation hereunder, directly or indirectly (by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written approval of Parent, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other hand; provided, that each of Parent and Merger Sub may assign its rights, but not its obligations, under this Agreement to (a) any of its Affiliates or (b) its financing sources for collateral purposes; and, provided, further that any such assignment shall not relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations hereunder. Any assignment in violation of this Section 10.12 shall be void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.13    Authorization of Representative.

(a)    By virtue of adoption of this Agreement by the Sellers, and without further action by any such Seller, the Representative is hereby appointed, authorized and empowered to act as an agent, representative and attorney-in-fact for each of the Sellers in connection with and to facilitate the consummation of the Transactions, including pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement and the matters related to (w) the Merger Consideration contemplated by Section 1.10, (x) the payment of amounts from the Representative Expense Fund Amount, (y) the preparation and filing of the Tax Returns with respect to the Group Companies contemplated by ARTICLE VIII and (z) all other such items and matters set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements contemplating participation by the Representative (collectively, “Representative Actions”), in each case with the power and authority, including power of substitution, acting in the name of or for and on behalf of each Seller, and subject to the limitations set forth herein or therein: (i) to execute and deliver and receive such waivers and consents as the Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable; (ii) to collect and receive all moneys and other proceeds

and property payable to the Representative from the Representative Expense Fund Amount, and, subject to any applicable withholding Laws, and, net of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Representative, disburse and pay the same to each Seller in accordance with such Seller’s Pro Rata Share; (iii) to authorize the set off, reduction, cancellation or the release of any funds from the Holdback Amounts in accordance with this Agreement; (iv) to authorize the release of any funds by the Paying Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement; (v) to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Sellers and the Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to any Representative Action, and to take any and all actions which the Representative believes are necessary or appropriate in respect thereof, including asserting or pursuing any claim, action, proceeding or investigation (a “Claim”) against Parent, Merger Sub and/or any of the Group Companies (after the Closing) or defending any Claim by Parent, Merger Sub and/or any of the Group Companies (after the Closing) against the Sellers relating to this Agreement, consenting to, compromising or settling any such Claims, conducting negotiations with Parent, Merger Sub, the Group Companies (after the Closing) and their representatives regarding such Claims; (vi) agree to, object to, negotiate, resolve, enter into settlements and compromises of, demand arbitration or litigation of, and comply with Orders with respect to, indemnification claims by Parent or any other Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to ARTICLE IX; (vii) to refrain from enforcing any right of any Seller or the Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to any Representative Action in connection with the foregoing; provided, that no such failure to act on the part of the Representative, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any such right or interest by the Representative or by the Sellers unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving party or by the Representative; (viii) to make, execute, acknowledge, deliver and receive all such other agreements, guarantees, Orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the Representative Actions, and all other agreements, documents or instruments executed in connection therewith; and (viii) take all such other actions as the Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate, in its discretion, for the accomplishment of the foregoing and the consummation of the Transactions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the appointment, authorization and empowerment of the Representative set forth in this Section 10.13(a) shall not include any matter specifically reserved for a Seller in this Agreement.

(b)    The Representative shall be entitled to the payment of all its out-of-pocket expenses incurred as the Representative subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including Section 1.9(b), which such amounts to be used by the Representative to pay expenses incurred by the Representative in its capacity as the Representative; provided, that if the Transaction is not consummated, the Company shall reimburse the Representative for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Representative in connection with the Transaction and neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall have any liability to the Representative or the Company in connection therefor. Once the Representative determines, in its sole discretion, that the Representative will not incur any additional expenses in its capacity as the Representative, then the Representative will distribute the remaining unused Representative Expense Fund Amount, if any, to the Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. If, however, the Representative incurs expenses, in its capacity as the Representative, in an amount exceeding the Representative

Expense Fund Amount, then the Representative shall be entitled to receive from the Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares an amount for the difference between the total expenses incurred by the Representative and the Representative Expense Fund Amount. Furthermore, the Representative shall be entitled to cause the Paying Agent to withhold and pay a portion of any Other Seller Payments to the Representative, by providing written notice thereof to the Paying Agent and Parent prior to its distribution of such Other Seller Payment, for the purpose of the Representative making any payments or paying any expenses under or in connection with this Agreement on behalf of the Sellers to satisfy costs, expenses and/or liabilities of the Representative in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement. In connection with this Agreement, and any instrument, agreement or document relating hereto or thereto, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Representative hereunder, (i) the Representative shall incur no responsibility whatsoever to any of the Sellers by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or any such other agreement, instrument or document, excepting only responsibility for any act or failure to act which represents willful misconduct, (ii) the Representative shall not be liable to Sellers for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by the Representative in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Seller to whom payment was due, but not made or not made in full, shall be to recover from the other Sellers any payment in excess of the amount to which such Seller is determined to have been entitled, and (iii) the Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Representative pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Representative to liability to any of the Sellers. Each Seller shall indemnify, on a pro rata basis (based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Share), the Representative against all Losses (including any and all expense whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened or any claims whatsoever), arising out of or in connection with any claim, investigation, challenge, action or proceeding or in connection with any appeal thereof, relating to the acts or omissions of the Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnification shall not apply in the event of any action or proceeding which finally adjudicates the liability of the Representative hereunder for its willful misconduct.

(c)    All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and/or any termination of this Agreement. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Representative pursuant to this Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Sellers. The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survives the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any of the Sellers and (ii) shall survive the Closing. Any amounts received by the Representative on account of the Sellers, whether pursuant to Section 1.9 or otherwise, shall be distributed to the Sellers, net of any reserve the Representative may deem necessary in its reasonable discretion, in accordance with Section 1.11.

(d)    The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Representative shall have no liability to, and shall not be liable for any Losses of, any Party in connection with any obligations of the Representative under this Agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or the Transaction.

(e)    In the event of the death, incapacity, liquidation, dissolution or resignation of any Person serving as the Representative, as applicable, within twenty (20) days of such death, incapacity, liquidation, dissolution or resignation, the Sellers shall choose the successor representative by affirmative vote of the Sellers who hold a majority of the voting power of the Company based on their Pro Rata Share.
