(vii) to distribute to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Stockholders or the Company Optionholders, as applicable, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares and in accordance with the Payment Procedures, any amount of the Stockholder Representative Fund that the Stockholder Representative may from time to time determine in its sole discretion is properly distributable to the Stockholders or the Company Optionholders;

(viii) to enforce payment and distribution of any amount payable to the Stockholders or Company Optionholders, as applicable;

(ix) to agree, negotiate and enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, claims under this Agreement;

(xiii) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders that the Stockholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement as fully and completely as the Stockholders and Company Optionholders could do if personally present. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Stockholders or the Company Optionholders, except as expressly provided herein, in the Escrow Agreement and in the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Stockholder Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedules. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Closing Payment Schedule, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Stockholder, Company Optionholder or other party.

-3-

(b) The Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to (i) rely on the full power and authority of the Stockholder Representative to act hereunder on behalf of the Stockholders, (ii) deal exclusively with the Stockholder Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement (with respect to matters regarding the Stockholders), (iii) rely, without independent investigation or verification, upon all decisions, communications or writings made, given or executed by the Stockholder Representative (with respect to matters regarding the Stockholders) and actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement any Ancillary Document , all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Stockholders, and (iv) disregard any decisions or communications or writing made, given or executed by any Stockholder in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Document unless the same is made, given or executed by the Stockholder Representative. The Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to any Stockholder for any action the Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation takes or omits to take in reliance upon such power and authority.

(c) The Stockholder Representative shall not be entitled to any fee, commission or other compensation for the performance of its services other than in accordance with the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, and it shall be entitled to the payment of all its costs and expenses incurred as the Stockholder Representative as more fully described below. In connection with the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative Fund shall be funded with the Stockholder Representative Amount at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.9(d), which Stockholder Representative Fund shall be used by the Stockholder Representative to pay directly or reimburse the costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative or as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group. The Stockholder Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Stockholder Representative Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Stockholder Representative Fund and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. The Stockholders and the Company Optionholders will not receive any interest on the Stockholder Representative Fund and assign to the Stockholder Representative any such interest. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Stockholder Representative may contribute funds to the Stockholder Representative Fund from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Stockholders or the Company Optionholders. To the extent that the Stockholder Representative Fund is at any time insufficient (as determined by the Stockholder Representative in its sole discretion) to cover all of the costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative, then the Stockholder Representative may, at its option, (i) receive from the Paying Agent and/or retain such amount of the proceeds received by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Stockholders or the Company Optionholders after the Closing Date under any term or provision of this Agreement or other amounts otherwise payable to the Stockholders or the Company Optionholders, as determined by the Stockholder Representative in its sole discretion for purposes of reimbursement of such costs and expenses; or (ii) seek reimbursement of such costs and expenses directly from the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders. Once the Stockholder Representative determines, in its sole discretion, that the Stockholder Representative will not incur any additional expenses in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative and the Stockholder Representative Fund is no longer required to be withheld, then the Stockholder Representative will distribute the remaining unused Stockholder Representative Fund (if any) to the Paying Agent for further distribution pro rata to the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders based upon each such Stockholder’s and Company Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share.

(d) Certain Stockholders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Stockholder Representative to provide direction to the Stockholder Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement (such Stockholders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). In dealing with this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholder Representative’s responsibilities hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, and any instruments, agreements or documents relating thereto, and in exercising or failing to exercise any or all of the powers conferred upon the Stockholder Representative hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement, (i) neither the Stockholder Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Stockholder Representative Group”) shall have any liability whatsoever to any Stockholder or Company Optionholder (A) by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or thereunder or (B) in connection with this Agreement or any such other instrument, agreement or document, except in the case of and only to the extent any such action or omission constitutes the Stockholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (ii) the Stockholder 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 Stockholder Representative (which is not the result of willful misconduct) whether or not pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Stockholder Representative Group to liability to the Stockholders, the Company Optionholders or any of them. The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time, and may be removed or replaced by the Advisory Group. All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Stockholder Representative Group under this Agreement (x) shall survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, (y) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Stockholder or Company Optionholder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (z) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Stockholder or Company Optionholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Fund. All actions taken by the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement shall be binding upon each Stockholder and Company Optionholder and each such Stockholder’s and Company Optionholder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Stockholder or Company Optionholder, and all defenses which may be available to any Stockholder or Company Optionholder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Stockholder Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement are waived.

(e) The Stockholders and the Company Optionholders, severally and not jointly, in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares, shall (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative Group from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, costs, expenses (including fees, disbursements and costs of counsel and other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Stockholder Representative Expenses”) incurred by the Stockholder Representative arising out of or in connection with its acceptance or performance of its duties and obligations as Stockholder Representative hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, provided that, in the event that any such indemnified Stockholder Representative Expense is finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen primarily out of the Stockholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Stockholder Representative Expense attributable to such bad faith or willful misconduct and (ii) advance any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative arising out of the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder, in each case in

-5-

accordance with this Section 2.6(e); provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative shall repay any advanced amounts attributable to the Stockholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct upon the entry of final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that, in connection with the matter as to which such amounts were advanced, the Stockholder Representative acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any amounts owed in respect of the indemnification obligations set forth in this paragraph and any amounts owed in respect of the obligation to advance expenses described in the following paragraph may be advanced by the Stockholder Representative to itself in accordance with the following paragraph. The Stockholders and the Company Optionholders acknowledge that the Stockholder Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Stockholder Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Stockholder Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Stockholder Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Stockholder Representative in performing such actions.

(f) Any indemnification of the Stockholder Representative by the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders under this Agreement and any expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative which are advanced or incurred under this Agreement shall be first paid out of the Stockholder Representative Fund, then from amounts received by the Stockholder Representative or Paying Agent for the benefit of the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders before making any disbursements of such amounts to the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders or from amounts otherwise payable to the Stockholders or the Company Optionholders, and then directly from the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders. In connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, the Stockholder Representative shall have the right at any time and from time to time to select and engage, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, advisors, consultants and obtain such other professional and expert assistance (in all cases as reasonably necessary), and maintain such records, as reasonably necessary or desirable and incur other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. All such fees and expenses shall constitute expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in its capacity as such on behalf of the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders and shall be advanced, paid and repaid, as applicable, by the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders in accordance with this paragraph, the preceding paragraph and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement..

2.7. Effect on Capital Stock. The manner and basis of converting, exchanging or canceling the stock of the Constituent Corporations into or for cash (or the contingent right to receive cash of the Surviving Corporation) shall be as follows:

(i) each Stock certificate or book-entry evidencing shares of Stock, the name and address (including email addresses) of each holder of Stock, the respective certificate numbers or book-entry designation, and with respect to each such certificate or designation representing shares of Stock, the number of shares of Stock evidenced by such Stock certificate or book-entry immediately prior to the Effective Time and the portion of the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration allocable thereto,

2.10. Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration Adjustments.

(a) As promptly as possible, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Stockholder Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement,” and the date on which the Closing Statement is delivered to Stockholder Representative, the “Delivery Date”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the amount of: (i) Cash Equivalents, Indebtedness, and Closing Working Capital, (ii) Transaction Expenses, (iii) the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration derived therefrom and (iv) the adjustment necessary to reconcile the Estimated Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration to the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Agreed Accounting Principles and in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement. In preparing the Closing Statement: (y) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Company of any distributions, financing or refinancing arrangements entered into by Purchaser or the Company on or after the Closing Date or any other transaction entered into by Purchaser, the Company or the Surviving Corporation on or after the Closing Date in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be entirely disregarded; and (z) there shall not be taken into account any of the plans, transactions or changes that Purchaser intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made on or after the Closing Date with respect to the Surviving Corporation or its businesses or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Purchaser or any assets or liabilities of Purchaser, or any obligation for the payment of the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration hereunder.

(b) Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide Stockholder Representative (and its representatives) upon advance notice with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records, supporting data, and workpapers of the Surviving Corporation for purposes of Stockholder Representative’s review of the Disputed Items, to the employees of Purchaser who are knowledgeable about the preparation of the Closing Statement, and reasonably cooperate with Stockholder Representative (and its representatives) solely with respect to their review of the Closing Statement and the calculations therein.

(c) Stockholder Representative shall have forty-five (45) days following the Delivery Date (the “Dispute Period”) to review the Closing Statement. If Stockholder Representative has any objections to the Closing Statement, Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth its objections thereto (a “Dispute Notice”), which shall identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which Stockholder Representative objects (the “Disputed Items”). If a Dispute Notice is not delivered to Purchaser during the Dispute Period or if Stockholder Representative earlier delivers a written notice to Purchaser of its agreement with the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement as prepared by Purchaser shall be deemed accepted and agreed to by Stockholder Representative and shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. If Stockholder Representative delivers a Dispute Notice to Purchaser, Purchaser and Stockholder Representative shall attempt to resolve the Disputed Items within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve any Disputed Items within such thirty (30) day period, Purchaser and Stockholder Representative shall mutually engage and submit such unresolved Disputed Items to, and the same shall be finally resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement by, Ernst & Young or, if such firm is not available or unwilling to accept such engagement, such other independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Stockholder Representative (the “Independent Accountant”). Purchaser and Stockholder Representative shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to resolve the Disputed Items as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days (or such other period of time as Purchaser and Stockholder Representative shall agree) after engagement by Purchaser and Stockholder Representative, and to set forth in a written statement its final determination of the Closing Statement and the resulting Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration based upon its resolution of such Disputed Items and the items and amounts with respect to the Closing Statement that were not Disputed Items. The Independent Accountant shall review the submissions of Purchaser and Stockholder Representative and base its determination solely on such submissions. In resolving any Disputed Item, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the least value for such item claimed by either party.

-9-

The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be deemed final and binding upon the parties and enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such Disputed Items by the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated between Purchaser and Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) so that the amount of fees and expenses paid by Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Stockholders (with the remainder of such amount being paid by Purchaser) shall be equal to the product of (x) and (y), where (x) is the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses, and where (y) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount in dispute that is ultimately unsuccessfully disputed by Stockholder Representative (as determined by the Independent Accountant) and the denominator of which is the total value in dispute. The Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative may enforce the final determination of the Independent Accountant in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) If the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration, based upon the final determination pursuant to Section 2.10(a) and Section 2.10(c) (the “Final Closing Merger Consideration”), exceeds the Estimated Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration such excess, the “Upward Adjustment Amount”), then promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Merger Consideration): (i) Purchaser shall cause an amount equal to the Upward Adjustment Amount to be paid to the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders in accordance with the Payment Procedures, and (ii) Purchaser and Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay in accordance with the Payment Procedures an amount equal to the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Amount (plus all earnings thereon).

(e) If the Estimated Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration exceeds the Final Closing Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Downward Adjustment Amount”; provided that the Downward Adjustment Amount shall not exceed the Adjustment Escrow Amount plus all earnings thereon), then promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Merger Consideration), Purchaser and Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to Purchaser the Downward Adjustment Amount from the Adjustment Escrow Account, with the Downward Adjustment Amount to be deducted from the Adjustment Escrow Amount. If the Downward Adjustment Amount does not exceed the Adjustment Escrow Amount, Purchaser and Stockholder Representative shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Merger Consideration) jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Amount (plus all earnings thereon) to the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders in accordance with the Payment Procedures.

2.11. Time and Place of Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely through the electronic exchange and delivery of closing documents in Portable Document Format on the date that is no later than the second Business Day immediately following satisfaction of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) or such other date as Purchaser and Stockholder Representative may mutually agree, provided, however, Closing shall not occur prior to January 3, 2022, unless the Purchaser and Stockholder Representative mutually agree. The date on which the Closing occurs in accordance with this Section is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.” The Closing will be deemed to occur at the close of business on the Closing Date.

-10-

2.12. Escrow.

If, after the Effective Time, certificates representing shares of Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.16. Dissenting Shares. Each share of Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by stockholders who shall have properly exercised their right of appraisal with respect thereto in accordance with the DGCL (such rights the “Appraisal Rights,” and such shares the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration hereunder, but shall be entitled only to such rights with respect to such Dissenting Shares as may be granted to such holder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, as applicable, except that each Dissenting Share held by a stockholder who shall thereafter withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal, shall fail to perfect or otherwise waive or lose his, her or its Appraisal Rights or shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be entitled to the relief provided under the DGCL shall be deemed to be converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive the consideration hereunder such holder otherwise would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Merger.

(a) The Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration that is compensatory in nature and payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of federal, local or foreign Tax law or under any applicable legal requirement.

Each Company Option, whether or not vested or exercisable, under the Stock Option Plan shall be canceled in exchange for (A) the right to receive a cash payment at Closing (in accordance with Section 2.9(e)), subject to receipt by the Surviving Corporation of a Company Option termination agreement duly executed by the holder of such Company Option substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K (an “Option Termination Agreement”)), equal to (x) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the Exercise Price per share of such Company Option, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Stock underlying such Company Option (the “Option Closing Payment”); provided, however, that any such Company Option with respect to which the exercise price per Common Share subject thereto is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be canceled in exchange for no consideration at Closing, and (B) the right to receive their respective Pro Rata Share of any payment made pursuant to Section 2.9(e), Section 2.10(d) and Section 2.10(e). From and after the Effective Time, no Company Option shall be exercisable, and each Company Option shall only entitle the holder thereof to the payment provided for in this Section 2.18.

(b) The Purchaser shall cause sufficient funds from the Estimated Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration to be available to the Surviving Corporation for payment of all of the Option Closing Payments to each holder of Company Options immediately prior to the Effective Time.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1. Indemnification of Purchaser and Surviving Corporation. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.1, following the Closing, each Stockholder and Company Optionholder shall severally and not jointly in accordance with its Pro Rata Share indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation, their Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and other representatives and respective successors and permitted assigns (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) in respect of any Damages actually suffered by a Purchaser Indemnified Party resulting from or arising out of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement;

(b) [Reserved];

(c) any claim made by any Stockholder or holder of a Company Option arising from any inaccuracies in the calculations and determinations set forth on the Closing Payment Schedule (including any updated Closing Payment Schedule required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), including the determination and calculation of a Stockholder and holder of a Company Option’s Pro Rata Share, in each case, other than as a result of an action taken or a determination made by any Purchaser Indemnified Party that is not in accordance with the Closing Payment Schedule provided by the Stockholder Representative;

(d) any Closing Date Indebtedness or Closing Date Transaction Expenses, in each case only (i) to the extent not taken into account in the calculation of the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration and Adjustment Amount, and (ii) discovered after the date the Final Closing Merger Consideration is determined; or

(e) all Pre-Closing Taxes.

7.2. Indemnification of Stockholders and Company Optionholders. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.2, following the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholders and Company Optionholders in respect of any Damages actually suffered by the Stockholders and Company Optionholders resulting from or arising out of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser or Merger Sub in this Agreement; or

(b) any breach by Purchaser or Merger Sub of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.

7.3. Third-Party Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third-party claim (including any action or proceeding commenced or threatened to be commenced by any third-party) that such Person reasonably believes may result in an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable (any such claim, a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such Third-Party Claim (such notice, the “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party (which in the case of the Stockholders and Company Optionholders shall be the Stockholder Representative) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability under this Agreement except to the extent, and only to the extent, that such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

-42-

The Claim Notice shall be accompanied by copies of any documentation submitted by the third party making such Third-Party Claim and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third-Party Claim and the amount (if known) of the claimed Damages. Within 20 Business Days after receipt of any Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party (which in the case of the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders shall be the Stockholder Representative) may, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8, by written notice to the Indemnified Party assume control of the defense of the Third-Party Claim referred to therein at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense (which in the case of the Stockholder Representative shall be on behalf of the Stockholders and Company Optionholders and subject to Section 2.6) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim for equitable or injunctive relief, any Third-Party Claim containing criminal allegations or any claim pertaining to material Intellectual Property and, in such event the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend any such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume control of such defense of the Third-Party Claim only for so long as it conducts such defense with reasonable diligence. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall control the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The party not controlling the defense of such Third-Party Claim (the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Stockholder Representative assumes control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Stockholders, Company Optionholders and Purchaser have materially conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third-Party Claim that cause Purchaser to hire its own separate counsel with respect to such proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to Purchaser shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling the defense of such Third-Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party reasonably advised of the status of such Third-Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third-Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Purchaser (or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party) nor the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Company Optionholders) shall agree to any material settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Once the Indemnity Escrow Amount has been depleted, Purchaser will, thereupon, automatically have the exclusive right to contest, defend, litigate and settle such Third-Party Claim and any and all other Third-Party Claims. A party’s consent to any settlement of a Third-Party Claim shall not be used as evidence of the truth of the allegations in any Third-Party Claim or the merits of such Third-Party Claim, in each case, vis a vis the third-party bringing such Third-Party Claim. Furthermore, the existence of any Third-Party Claim shall not create a presumption of any breach by a party to this Agreement of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement. The procedures in this Section shall not apply to any Tax Claim, which shall be governed solely by Section 8.3, or to the determination of the Adjustment Amount, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.10.

7.4. Indemnification Mechanics.

(a) In order to seek indemnification under this Section, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written demand in good faith (an “Indemnification Demand”) to the Stockholder Representative (if the Indemnified Party is Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation) or Purchaser (if the Indemnified Party is a Stockholder or Company Optionholder) which contains (i) a description and the amount of any Damages (if reasonably determinable at such time) incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred (if reasonably determinable at such time) by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable, for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages.

-43-

(b) Upon reasonable request, the Indemnified Party shall, in a manner so as to preserve attorney-client privilege, furnish the Stockholder Representative or Purchaser, as applicable, with any information to the extent that such information is reasonably necessary in order to evaluate the Indemnification Demand. If the Stockholder Representative or Purchaser, as applicable, in good faith objects to any claim made by the Indemnified Party in the Indemnification Demand, then the Stockholder Representative or Purchaser, as applicable, shall deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Dispute Notice”) to the Indemnified Party and shall provide a copy of such Indemnification Dispute Notice to the Escrow Agent (if the Indemnity Escrow Fund has not ceased to exist and the Indemnified Party is Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation) within 30 days following receipt by the Stockholder Representative or Purchaser, as applicable, of an Indemnification Demand from such Indemnified Party. The Indemnification Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by the Indemnified Party in the Indemnification Demand. If the Stockholder Representative or Purchaser, as applicable, fails to deliver an Indemnification Dispute Notice prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, then the indemnity claim set forth in the Indemnification Demand shall be conclusively determined in the Indemnified Party’s favor for purposes of this Section, and the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for the amount of the Damages stated in such Indemnification Demand (or, in the case of any notice in which the Damages (or any portion thereof) are estimated, the amount of such Damages (or such portion thereof) as finally determined) on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the Damages (or any portion thereof) are estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Damages (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined, in either case, subject to the limitations of this Section.

If the Stockholder Representative or Purchaser, as applicable, delivers an Indemnification Dispute Notice, then the Indemnified Party and the Stockholder Representative or Purchaser, as applicable, shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised in such Indemnification Dispute Notice. If the Indemnified Party and the Stockholder Representative or Purchaser, as applicable, agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by the Indemnified Party and the Stockholder Representative or Purchaser, as applicable, shall be prepared and signed by both parties, and shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto.

(c) If no such resolution can be reached during the 45-day period following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 45-day period (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed), either Stockholder Representative or Purchaser shall have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 10.10.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the Stockholder Representative as “Indemnifying Party” or similar references are solely in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders for purposes of notices, participation in claims and other administration and in no way obligate the Stockholder Representative to provide any indemnification or otherwise impose any liability on the Stockholder Representative.

7.5. Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the certificates of the Company delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that claims that involve Fraud shall survive until the date that is 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement which by their terms contemplate actions or impose

-44-

obligations following the Closing shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for the time period contemplated for performance, or, if no time period for performance is contemplated, until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date (or, in the case of obligations to the Stockholder Representative Group pursuant to Section 2.6, such obligations shall survive indefinitely). All other covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing and shall terminate upon the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any claim as to which an Indemnified Party shall have, on or prior to such date, delivered an Indemnification Demand, the indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such claim, and the claim asserted in such Indemnification Demand, shall survive until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved.

7.6. Sole and Exclusive Remedy; Limitations

(a) From and after the Closing, except (i) for the right to pursue specific performance pursuant to Section 10.14, (ii) any claim of Fraud asserted against the Person who committed such Fraud (but otherwise subject to the limitations of this Section) and (iii) pursuant to Section 2.10 (but otherwise subject to the limitations therein), the indemnification provisions of this Section shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties for any and all Damages or other claims relating to or arising from this Agreement, including in any schedule or certificate delivered hereunder. In no event shall any Stockholder or Company Optionholder’s liability, other than for Fraud committed by such Stockholder or Company Optionholder (which may be made solely against the Person(s) who committed such Fraud), exceed the portion of the Final Closing Merger Consideration actually received by such Stockholder or Company Optionholder.

(b) The parties hereto agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on the remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Stockholder or Company Optionholder hereunder.

(c) The sole and exclusive sources of recovery in respect of any indemnification claim made by any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(d) and Section 7.1(e) (but otherwise subject to the limitations of this Section) shall be (i) first, the Indemnity Escrow Amount, and (ii) second, the Warranty Policies.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any Damages under Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.1(e) unless and until the aggregate Damages for which they would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1 exceed Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) (the “Indemnity Deductible”); provided, that the Indemnity Deductible shall not apply to Section 7.1(c) and Section 7.1(d) or any Damages related to claims based on Fraud asserted against the Person who committed such Fraud.

(e) Nothing contained herein shall limit any Purchaser Indemnified Party’s rights under the Warranty Policies.

(f) No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to make a claim under Section 7.1(c) and Section 7.1(d) until such Purchaser Indemnified Party has utilized all commercially reasonable best efforts to recover under the Warranty Policies (solely to the extent such Damages are recoverable thereunder) for the facts and circumstances of such claim, including, for the avoidance of doubt, asserting such claim as a claim under Section 7.1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any indemnification owing from the Stockholders to a Purchaser Indemnified Party under Section 7.1(c) shall be several and not joint and each Stockholders’ indemnification obligation shall be limited to the excess Merger Consideration such Stockholder received as a result of the inaccuracy in the calculation or determination set forth on the Closing Payment Schedule. Any claim under Section 7.1(c) or Section 7.1(d) must be asserted prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date.

-45-

7.7. Net Insurance Proceeds. Any indemnification obligations under this Section will be net of any insurance proceeds or any indemnity payment, contribution payments or reimbursements actually received by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from a third party with respect thereto, net of documented associated expenses and costs of recovery.

7.8. Mitigation of Damages. The Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages, which in the absence of mitigation might give rise to or increase Damages in respect of any claim under this Section.

7.9. Provisions. No indemnification will be available to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of any Damages to the extent the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to the claim or on which it is based is expressly allowed, provided, accrued or reserved for in such amount in the Company Financial Statements or is expressly provided for or otherwise expressly taken into account in determining the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.8 or any Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.10.

7.10. Subrogation. If Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate of Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation receives or becomes entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section, the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Company Optionholders) shall be entitled to exercise and shall be subrogated to any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and rights of recovery) that Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or such Affiliate may have against any other Person with respect to any Damages, circumstance or matter to which such indemnification payment is directly or indirectly related. Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation shall take such actions as the Stockholder Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders) to perfect or exercise all rights of subrogation hereunder.

7.11. Reserved.

7.12. Materiality Scrape. For purposes of Section 7.1(a), in determining whether there has been a breach of any representation or warranty, and for purposes of calculating any Damages pursuant to Section 7.1(a), all qualifications in a representation or warranty referencing the terms “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or other terms of similar import or effect with respect to materiality shall be disregarded (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any specific dollar amount thresholds), except for the definition of “Material Contract”.

7.13. No Circular Claims. Each Stockholder and Company Optionholder agrees that it shall not have, and hereby expressly waives and agrees not to exercise or assert, solely in its capacity as a Stockholder or Company Optionholder and not as an officer or director of the Company, any right of indemnification or contribution against the Surviving Corporation in connection with any Damages which the Stockholder or Company Optionholder are required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in accordance with this Agreement other than (i) any rights by virtue of his or her status as an officer, director, employee or consultant, including any rights to accrued compensation that remains unpaid as of the Closing or earned employee benefits that remain unpaid or unused accrued vacation as of the Closing and (ii) any claims for reimbursement for expenses incurred in the ordinary course.

-46-

7.14. Tax Treatment of Payments. The parties hereto agree to treat any payments made pursuant to this Section as adjustments to the Final Closing Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

ARTICLE VIII

POST-CLOSING AGREEMENTS

8.1. Access to Records. Purchaser shall cause the Company to provide reasonable access to the books and records of the Company Group to Stockholder Representative and its designees and representatives, for reasonable business purposes at all reasonable times during normal business hours, for a six (6) year period after the Closing Date, to the extent relating to the business of the Company Group prior to the Closing Date, as reasonably required by Stockholder Representative. As used in this Section 8.1, the right of access includes the right to make extracts or copies.

8.2. Officers and Directors Liability.

(a) From and after the Closing Date until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, Company shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Company to: (i) honor all exculpation, advancement and indemnity obligations to present or former officers, directors, managers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (“D&O Indemnified Persons”) by reason of any act or omission occurring on or prior to the Closing Date (including any such acts or omissions which arise out of or relate to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), whether asserted or commenced prior to, on or after the Closing Date (each, a “D&O Claim”), to the full extent required or permitted by, and in accordance with, the express provisions as in effect on the date hereof of Article Sixth of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Article VI of its Bylaws, under the indemnification agreements set forth on Schedule 8.2(a) between a member of the Company Group and an Indemnified Person regarding such Indemnified Person’s indemnification rights, or as required by applicable Law, with respect to the indemnification of an Indemnified Person (the “Indemnification Provisions”) ; (ii) advance expenses to the D&O Indemnified Persons in connection with each D&O Claim to the full extent required or permitted by the Indemnification Provisions; and (iii) honor the Indemnification Provisions as contract rights in favor of the D&O Indemnified Persons, with respect to any D&O Claim.

(b) All rights to exculpation and indemnification for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing Date now existing in favor of the D&O Indemnified Persons as provided in the Company’s organizational documents on the date hereof shall be maintained in such documents and shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of six years following the Closing Date.

(c) The Company will (at its sole cost and expense) obtain a bound and non-cancellable prepaid insurance policy (the “D&O Policy”) under terms equal or better to the Company’s current directors and officers liability insurance package policy that provides coverage for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years with respect to claims arising from acts, events or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Closing.

(d) The provisions of this Section 8.2 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons, their heirs and their personal representatives and shall be binding on all successors and permitted assigns of the Company and Purchaser. Purchaser shall cause the surviving or resulting entity of any merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving any member of the Company Group to assume the obligations imposed by this Section 8.2.

-47-

8.3. Tax Matters.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Cooperation. The Purchaser shall and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company Group relating to the Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Purchaser or the Stockholder Representative, any extension thereof) for the respective taxable periods. The Stockholder Representative, at the request of Purchaser, shall (i) assist the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries in preparing any Tax Returns and conducting any Tax audit, claim, investigation or other proceeding and (ii) retain all books and records in its possession with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company Group relating to the Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Purchaser or the Stockholder Representative, any extension thereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative shall have no obligation to prepare or file any Tax Returns.

(d) Allocation of Taxes. In the case of any Taxes relating to a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (the “Straddle Period”), the portion of such Tax which relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income, gains or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income, gains or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date.

(e) Tax Return Preparation. The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company Group for the Pre-Closing Tax Period and Straddle Period that are required to be filed after the Closing Date. All Returns filed by the Purchaser after the Closing Date will be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice and custom of the Company Group to the extent consistent with applicable Law. The Purchaser shall permit the Stockholders Representative to review and comment on each income and other material Tax Return relating to or including a Pre-Closing Tax Period prior to filing and shall consider in good faith any requested revisions.

(f) Tax Contests. After the Closing Date, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholder Representative, respectively, shall inform the other party in writing of the commencement of any claim, audit, investigation, examination, or other proceeding or self-assessment relating in whole or in part to Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (“Tax Contest”) for which the Purchaser may be entitled to indemnity from the Stockholders and Company Optionholders. After the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to represent the interests of the Company Group in any and all Tax Contests; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest and to employ counsel at its own expense (on behalf of the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders) of its choice (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser) for purposes of such participation to the extent that any such Tax Contest could reasonably be expected to result in a Tax indemnification liability of the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the Purchaser proposes to compromise or settle any Tax Contest, or consent or agree to any Tax liability, relating to the Company Group that would result in an indemnity payment by the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders, the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to review such proposed compromise, settlement, consent or agreement. The Purchaser shall not agree or consent to compromise or settle any Tax Contest on a basis that would result in a Tax liability of the Company Group for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or liability of the Stockholders and the Company Optionholders for indemnification unless the Stockholder Representative consents to such settlement, compromise or concession, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

-48-

(g) Tax Agreements. All Tax-sharing agreements or similar contracts with respect to or involving any member of the Company Group and any other person shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, no member of the Company Group shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(h) Other Tax Matters.

(i) To the extent applicable under the Tax Law in respect of this transaction, the Parties shall treat any gains, income, deductions, losses, or other items realized by the Company Group for income Tax purposes with respect to any transaction outside the ordinary course of business engaged in by the Company Group on the Closing Date, which occurs after the Closing or at the direction of the Purchaser, as occurring on the day immediately following the Closing Date and to utilize the “next day rule” in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law) for purposes of reporting such items on applicable Tax Returns.

(ii) Until such time as the Indemnity Escrow Amount is exhausted or released to Stockholders and the Company Optionholders, Purchaser shall not take any action that constitutes a Stockholder Tax Matter without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except as required by applicable law.

8.4. Employee Matters.

(a) For at least one (1) year following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to the employees of the Company Group, including employees not actively at work due to injury, vacation, military duty, disability or other leave of absence, who continues to be employed by Purchaser or its Affiliates as of the Closing (“Company Employees”) with (i) as to each Company Employee at least the same level of base salary or hourly wage rate, as the case may be, that was provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) target annual cash performance bonus opportunities (but not equity-based incentive opportunities) that are not materially less than the target annual cash performance bonus opportunities in effect with respect to Company Employees in the aggregate immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) other employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to either (A) those provided to Company Employees immediately prior to the Closing, or (B) those provided by Purchaser to similarly situated Purchaser employees, as elected by Purchaser in its discretion. In the event the compensation and benefits described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) materially differs on the Closing Date from the compensation and benefits described in Schedule 4.13(a) Schedule 4.14(c), the Company will deliver a list of such differences to the Purchaser on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing.

(b) Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, honor all vacation, sick pay and other paid time off for Company Employees accrued but unused as of the Closing Date which will be set forth on a Schedule 8.4(b) to be delivered on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, on terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Periods of employment with the Company Group and any of its predecessors and Affiliates shall be taken into account for purposes of determining eligibility, vesting, and for purposes of vacation or paid time off level of benefits for each Company Employee under all broad-based employee benefit plans, programs, policies or arrangements of Purchaser or its Affiliates in which such Company

Employee is eligible to participate on or following the Closing Date excluding any Purchaser equity incentive, defined benefit pension, retiree health, change in control, severance and similar programs (each, a “Purchaser Benefit Plan”), in each case, to the same extent such service was recognized under a comparable Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that no such crediting of service shall result in duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

8.5. Warranty Policies. During the term of the Warranty Policies, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates or representatives shall cancel, modify or waive the anti-subrogation provisions contained in the Warranty Policies (or any rights thereunder) if such cancellation, modification or waiver would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Stockholder Representative or the Stockholders (which by way of example shall include, allowing any amendment, termination, cancellation or revocation that requires the insurer thereunder to subrogate or otherwise make or bring any action or proceeding against the Stockholder Representative or the Stockholders based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (other than in the event of Fraud) or that could otherwise increase the liability of any Stockholder).

-51-

(d) by prompt notice, given in accordance with Section 10.2, by either Purchaser and Merger Sub or the Company if the Closing shall not have occurred at or before 11:59 p.m. on February 14, 2022 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to the aforesaid date;

(e) By Purchaser, if the Company shall not have obtained and delivered to Purchaser the Requisite Stockholder Vote within 24 hours following the time of execution and delivery of this Agreement; or

(i) subject to Section 9.2(b), the provisions of this Agreement shall immediately become void and of no further force or effect;

(ii) each party hereto, if so requested by another party hereto, will return promptly every document furnished to it by such other party (or any subsidiary, division, associate or Affiliate of such other party) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution of this Agreement, and any copies thereof (except for copies of documents publicly available) which may have been made, and will use reasonable efforts to cause its representatives and any representatives of financial institutions and investors and others to whom such documents were furnished promptly to return such documents and any copies thereof any of them may have made;

(a) proceed to close (including a closing following exercise of specific performance rights under Section 9.3(c)) despite the non-fulfillment of any closing condition, it being understood that consummation of the Closing shall waive any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant and of such party’s rights and remedies with respect thereto to the extent that such party has actual knowledge of such breach and the Closing shall nonetheless occur;

(b) decline to close, terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1 and may also elect to seek damages to the extent permitted in Section 9.4; or

(c) seek specific performance of the obligations of another party hereto.

All Warranty Policies’ Insurance Premiums due under the Warranty Policies shall be treated as provided in the definition of Transaction Expenses.

10.4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the instruments to be delivered by the parties pursuant to the provisions hereof, and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. Purchaser acknowledges that it has conducted an independent investigation of the financial condition, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company Group in making its determination as to the propriety of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and in entering into this Agreement, has relied solely on the results of said investigation and on the representations and warranties of the Company expressly contained in this Agreement.

10.5. Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by the Company without the prior written consent of Purchaser, or by Purchaser and Merger Sub without the prior written consent of Seller, in each case not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by such party, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and of no force and effect; provided, however, that (a) Purchaser and Merger Sub (i) may assign any of their rights or delegate any of their duties under this Agreement to any Affiliate; and (ii) may assign its rights, but not its obligations, under this Agreement to any lender to Purchaser, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates as security for obligations to such lender in respect of the financing arrangements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, further, that no assignment to any such Affiliate or lender shall in any way affect Purchaser’s or Merger Sub’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, and (b) after the Closing, Stockholder Representative may assign this Agreement to any of its owners or successors by operation of Law; provided, that no such assignment shall in any way affect the Company’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.

10.6. Schedules and Exhibits. The Schedules and Exhibits (including the Disclosure Schedules) referenced in this Agreement constitute an integral part of this Agreement as if fully rewritten herein and shall be considered incorporated herein. The information and disclosures set forth on any particular schedule of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference with respect to all other schedules of the Disclosure Schedules to the extent that the applicability of such information and disclosures to such other schedules is reasonably apparent. The inclusion of any information or disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed an admission that such information or disclosure is material for the purposes of this Agreement. Where the representations and warranties in this Agreement contain specific dollar threshold items, disclosures listed in response thereto may include items that are below such dollar thresholds. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only. The inclusion of any information or disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any contract or Law will not be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

In addition, any failure of a party hereto to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained herein may be waived only if set forth in an instrument in writing and duly executed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. The failure in any one or more instances of a party hereto to insist upon performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, to exercise any right or privilege in this Agreement conferred, or the waiver by said party of any breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed as a subsequent waiver of any such terms, covenants, conditions, rights or privileges, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect as if no such forbearance or waiver had occurred.

10.8. Counterparts and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile or other copy of a signature, including execution and delivery of the Agreement by electronic exchange bearing the copies of the signature of a party hereto, shall be deemed an original for purposes of this Agreement.

10.9. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction so as to best give effect to the intent of the parties hereto under this Agreement.

10.10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice-of-laws or conflicts-of-laws provisions thereof.

10.11. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer on any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, including third party beneficiary rights, except that the Officers shall be third party beneficiaries of Section 8.2.

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND, SUIT, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION, INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER, RELATED TO, BASED ON, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT, THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 10.12 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.    ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 10.12 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

-56-

10.13. Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties to this Agreement submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of Delaware Chancery Court, any other state court in the State of Delaware, and the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (and the appropriate appellate courts), in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and any related agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith, and by this Agreement, waive, and agree not to assert, any defense in any Action for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement and any related agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith, that they are not subject thereto or that such Action may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts or that their property is exempt or immune from execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of the Action is improper. Each party hereto waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consents that all services of process be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, directed to it at its address as set forth in Section 10.2, and service so made shall be treated as completed when received. Nothing in this Section 10.13 shall affect the right of the parties hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

10.14. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by a party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by a party hereto. It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by another party hereto and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof against another party hereto in any court having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which a party hereto is entitled at law or in equity.

10.15. Interpretation. Unless the context indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The term “person” shall be construed broadly to include any individual, any type of business entity (including a corporation, joint-stock company, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association or unincorporated association), any other type of legal entity (including a trust), or any other entity or organization, but shall not include any Governmental Authority. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation” or “but not limited to.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereby,” “herewith” and “hereof” and words of like import, unless otherwise stated, refer to this entire Agreement as a whole (including any schedules and exhibits hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Article, Section, Schedules and Exhibit references are to the Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto and not otherwise defined therein shall have the meanings set forth in this Agreement. The term “pending” shall mean pending (but shall not be construed as referring to any Action against any member of the Company Group that has been filed but not yet served on such member of the Company Group), and “threatened” means threatened (and shall be construed as referring, without limitation, to any Action against any member of the Company Group that has been filed but not yet served on such member of the Company Group). The words describing the singular number will include the plural and vice versa. The phrase “made available” in this Agreement will mean that the information referred to has been made available if requested by the party to whom such information is to be made available and such requested information shall be deemed to have been “made available” if such information has been posted to an electronic datasite that is accessible by such requesting party or a representative thereof or such requested information has been emailed or otherwise sent to such requesting party or representative or such requesting party or representative otherwise has knowledge of how to obtain access to such requested information. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a national holiday or a day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized to close.

-57-

All references to “dollars” or “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (a) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and by this Agreement; and (b) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event of an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

10.16. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, do not themselves form a part of this Agreement and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.17. Waiver of Conflicts; Attorney-Client Communications.

(a) Recognizing that Blank Rome LLP has acted as legal counsel to the Company, and that certain Stockholders, officers, directors, employees or other Affiliates of the Company may engage Blank Rome LLP to act as legal counsel to such Stockholders, officers, directors, employees or other Affiliates of the Company after the Closing, Purchaser consents to, waives, and will not assert, and agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation to consent to, waive, and to not assert any present, past or future actual or potential conflict of interest that may arise in connection with (i) Blank Rome LLP representing any or all of the Stockholders, officers, directors, employees or other Affiliates of the Company prior to or after the Closing and (ii) the communication by Blank Rome LLP to the Stockholders, officers, directors, employees or other Affiliates of the Company, in any such representation, of any fact known to Blank Rome LLP, including attorney-client communications, including with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) in connection with any negotiation, arbitration, mediation, litigation or other Action in any way related to a dispute with Purchaser or the Company or any other person following the Closing, and the disclosure of any such fact in connection with any process undertaken for the resolution of such dispute.
