This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 18, 2023, is made by and among Viemed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), Home Medical Products, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the “Company”), Kevin Atkins, in his individual capacity (“Atkins”), David Steele, in his individual capacity (“Steele,” and together with Atkins, the “Equityholders”), and David Steele, as the representative of the Equityholders appointed hereby (the “Equityholders’ Representative”).

WHEREAS, the Company and the Subsidiaries provide home medical equipment and post-acute sleep and respiratory services in the states of Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi (collectively, the “Business”);

WHEREAS, the Equityholders collectively own all of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company (collectively, the “Equity”), each as set forth opposite their name on Annex I;

WHEREAS, the Company owns all of the issued and outstanding equity of Schofield Homecare Solutions, Inc., an Alabama corporation (“Schofield Co”), and Spirocare DME, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Spirocare Co,” and together with Schofield Co, the “Subsidiaries”);

WHEREAS, the Equityholders desire to sell and convey the Equity to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase the Equity from the Equityholders, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Acquisition”); and

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of Atkins, Steele, and Jason Shiflet, each in their individual capacity, have entered into a Restrictive Covenant Agreement (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenant Agreements”), each of which shall become automatically effective at the Closing.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

1.1.    Sale and Purchase of Equity. At the Closing, the Equityholders shall sell, assign, transfer, and deliver their respective Equity to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase the Equity from the Equityholders, free and clear of all security interests, liens, claims, pledges, defaults of title, encumbrances, hypothecations, mortgages, restrictions, adverse rights or interests, charges, and other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever (collectively, “Liens”), and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

1.2.    Purchase Price.

(a)    The total consideration payable by Purchaser for the Equity and the other rights and benefits conferred in this Agreement shall be Thirty-One Million Dollars ($31,000,000) minus the Final Adjustment Amount (as defined below) (the “Purchase Price”).

(b)    At the Closing, Purchaser shall:

(i)    deposit or cause to be deposited by wire transfer of immediately available funds (A) Thirty One Million Dollars ($31,000,000), minus (B) the Adjustment Escrow Amount (as defined below), minus (C) the Indemnification Escrow Amount (as defined below), and minus (D) the Estimated Adjustment Amount (collectively, the “Closing Equityholder Payment”) into an account or accounts designated in writing by the Equityholders’ Representative, in trust for the benefit of the Equityholders;

(ii)    deposit or cause to be deposited by wire transfer of immediately available funds Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (the “Adjustment Escrow Amount”) with Regions Bank (the “Escrow Agent”), to be held in escrow (the “Adjustment Escrow”) and disbursed in accordance with the terms of that certain Escrow Agreement to be entered into at Closing by and among Purchaser, the Equityholders’ Representative, and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”);

(iii)    deposit or cause to be deposited by wire transfer of immediately available funds Three Million Four Hundred Twenty Four Thousand Dollars ($3,424,000) (the “Indemnification Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent, Four Hundred Twenty Four Thousand Dollars ($424,000) of which, subject to Section 5.11(c), is attributable to the Estimated Tax Refund (the “Tax Refund Escrow Amount”), to be held in escrow (the “Indemnity Escrow”) and disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; and

(iv)    pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company, (A) the amounts reflected in the Payoff Letters to the lenders or creditors named therein and in the manner set forth therein, (B) any Transaction Expenses of the Company that are unpaid as of the Closing to the parties specified in writing pursuant to Section 1.3(b), and (C) the aggregate amount of Transaction Bonuses and related payroll Taxes to be incurred by the Company and the Subsidiaries in connection with such Transaction Bonuses that are unpaid as of the Closing as specified in writing pursuant to Section 1.3(b) (collectively, the “Closing Transaction Payments”).

1.3.    Adjustment Amount.

(a)    Adjustment Amount. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Adjustment Amount” means, without duplication, as finally determined as provided herein, (i) the amount by which the Company’s Current Liabilities exceed the Company’s Current Assets (represented as a positive number, the “Net Working Capital Deficit”), plus (ii) the aggregate amount of any Excess LT Indebtedness, plus (iii) any Transaction Expenses of the Company that are unpaid as of the Closing, and plus (iv) the amount of any Transaction Bonuses and payroll Taxes to be incurred by the Company and the Subsidiaries in connection with such Transaction Bonuses that are unpaid as of the Closing.

(b)    Determination of Estimated Adjustment Amount for Closing. At least five (5) Business Days, but no more than ten (10) Business Days, prior to the Closing Date, the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver to Purchaser (i) Payoff Letters, and (ii) a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Company, certifying as to the Company’s good faith estimate of (A) any required payoff of Indebtedness, (B) Net Working Capital Deficit as of the Effective Time calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (C) Excess LT Indebtedness, (D) the Transaction Expenses of the Company that are unpaid as of the Closing, (E) the aggregate amount of Transaction Bonuses and related payroll Taxes to be incurred by the Company and the Subsidiaries in connection with such Transaction Bonuses that are unpaid as of the Closing, and (F) the Adjustment Amount calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the estimates set forth in this Section 1.3(b) (collectively, and expressed as a positive figure, the “Estimated Adjustment Amount”), including in each case reasonable detail with supporting documentation. The Equityholders’ Representative shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and without resulting in any delay of the Closing, consult in good faith with Purchaser regarding the calculation of the estimated Net Working Capital Deficit and the Estimated Adjustment Amount prior to the delivery of such estimates pursuant to this Section 1.3(b), and, to the extent in the possession or control of the Company or the Subsidiaries, provide Purchaser with documentation regarding the same as Purchaser may reasonably request.

(c)    Determination of Final Adjustment Amount Following Closing. Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to the Equityholders’ Representative of Purchaser’s calculation of the Adjustment Amount in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including reasonable detail with supporting documentation. The Equityholders’ Representative and any accountants and advisors engaged by the Equityholders’ Representative shall be permitted reasonable access to the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries and any documents, schedules, or workpapers used by Purchaser in its calculation of the Adjustment Amount, solely for purposes of evaluating Purchaser’s calculation of the Adjustment Amount. If the Equityholders’ Representative disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of the Adjustment Amount, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Purchaser’s calculation of the Adjustment Amount, the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver written notice to Purchaser setting forth Equityholders’ Representative’s calculation of the Adjustment Amount, including the basis for the disagreement in reasonable detail (the “Objection Notice”). If the Equityholders’ Representative fails to timely deliver an Objection Notice, Purchaser’s calculation of the Adjustment Amount shall be final and binding on Purchaser and the Equityholders. If the Equityholders’ Representative timely delivers an Objection Notice to Purchaser, then Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disputes as to the computation of the Adjustment Amount within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the Objection Notice. If Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative cannot reach agreement on all such disputes within such thirty (30)-day period (or such longer period as they may mutually agree), then all remaining disputes as to the computation of the Adjustment Amount shall be resolved in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 1.3(d). The Adjustment Amount finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.3(c) and/or pursuant to the dispute resolution processes set forth in Section 1.3(d), and expressed as a positive figure, shall be referred to as the “Final Adjustment Amount.”

(d)    Dispute Resolution Regarding Adjustment Amount. In the event that Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative cannot reach agreement on all disputes as to the computation of the Adjustment Amount within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Objection Notice (or such longer period as they may mutually agree), Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall jointly submit such disputed determination to an independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative (the

“Accounting Firm”) for computation or verification of the Adjustment Amount in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.3. Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall direct the Accounting Firm to review the matters in dispute and, within thirty (30) days following its engagement (or within the shortest time frame as the Accounting Firm shall agree), deliver a written report to Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative setting forth its determination of the proper amounts of such disputed matters and a calculation of the Adjustment Amount. The Accounting Firm shall determine only those items and amounts set forth in the Objection Notice that Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative were unable to resolve. Each of Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to make a presentation to the Accounting Firm regarding the items and amounts that they are unable to resolve, but neither Purchaser nor the Equityholders’ Representative shall meet separately with the Accounting Firm without the other party’s prior written consent. In making its determination, the Accounting Firm shall (i) be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the definitions of Current Assets, Current Liabilities, Adjustment Amount, and Net Working Capital Deficit, the methodology for calculating the Adjustment Amount and Net Working Capital Deficit, and the terms of this Section 1.3(d), and (ii) not assign any value with respect to a disputed amount that is greater than the highest value for such amount claimed by either Purchaser or the Equityholders’ Representative or that is less than the lowest value for such amount claimed by either Purchaser or the Equityholders’ Representative. Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall cooperate with and timely respond to all reasonable requests for information, books, records, and similar items by the Accounting Firm. Except as provided by the penultimate sentence of Section 1.3(c), the submission of the disputed matter to the Accounting Firm shall be the exclusive remedy for resolving disputes related to the determination of the Adjustment Amount, and the Accounting Firm’s determination shall be binding upon Purchaser and the Equityholders. The Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses shall be borne by the party whose calculation of the Adjustment Amount was farthest from the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount by the Accounting Firm, or, if the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount by the Accounting Firm is equidistant between the calculations of the parties of the Adjustment Amount, shall be borne equally by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Equityholders, jointly and severally, on the other hand.

(e)    Over-deduct. If the Estimated Adjustment Amount (expressed as a positive figure) exceeds the Final Adjustment Amount (expressed as a positive figure) (the positive amount of such difference, the “Over-deduct”), then, within three (3) Business Days of such determination, (i) Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Adjustment Escrow the entire amount held in the Adjustment Escrow to the Equityholders’ Representative, in trust for the benefit of the Equityholders, and (ii) Purchaser shall pay to the Equityholders’ Representative, in trust for the benefit of the Equityholders, an amount equal to the Over-deduct by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated in writing by the Equityholders’ Representative.

(f)    Under-deduct. If the Final Adjustment Amount (expressed as a positive figure) exceeds the Estimated Adjustment Amount (expressed as a positive figure) (the positive amount of such difference, the “Under-deduct”), then, within three (3) Business Days of such determination, (i) if the Under-deduct exceeds the amount held in the Adjustment Escrow, then (A) Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Adjustment Escrow the entire amount held in the Adjustment Escrow to Purchaser and (B) the Equityholders, jointly and severally, shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the excess of the Under-deduct over the amount held in the Adjustment Escrow by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated in writing by Purchaser, or (ii) if the Under-deduct is less than the amount held in the Adjustment Escrow, then Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Adjustment Escrow (A) to Purchaser an

amount equal to the Under-deduct and (B) to the Equityholders’ Representative, in trust for the benefit of the Equityholders, the entire remaining amount held in the Adjustment Escrow.

1.4.    Closing.

(a)    The closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) shall take place via the electronic exchange of documents and signature pages and other required documentation, in no event later than three (3) business days after all conditions in ARTICLE VI have been satisfied or waived by the appropriate party in writing, or at such other place and time and/or on such other date as Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” The Closing shall be deemed to be effective as of 12:01 a.m., local time for the Business the day immediately following the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”).

(b)    All deliveries, payments, and other transactions and documents relating to the Closing (i) shall be independent and shall not be effective unless and until all are effective (except to the extent that the party entitled to the benefit thereof has waived satisfaction or performance thereof as a condition precedent to the Closing) and (ii) shall be deemed to be consummated simultaneously.

1.5.    Purchase Price Distribution. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser’s sole obligation with respect to payment of all or any portion of the Purchase Price or other amount payable pursuant to this ARTICLE I shall be the making of such payment to the account or accounts designated by the Equityholders’ Representative, which the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver to Purchaser not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is required. Purchaser shall have no liability among the Equityholders and/or any other Persons entitled to any portion thereof or otherwise in connection with the distribution thereof with respect Purchaser’s payments as directed above.

1.6.    Withholding. The Equityholders will provide a FIRPTA Certificate to Purchaser at Closing to show that no withholding or deduction by Purchaser from the Purchase Price otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement is required pursuant to the Code or any other applicable Law.

1.7    Tax Treatment of Payments. Payments with respect to adjustments made pursuant to Section 1.3, if any, shall be deemed to be, and all parties shall treat such payments as, an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes except to the extent required by applicable Law to be characterized as interest payments.

There are no outstanding options (whether vested or unvested), warrants, convertible securities, calls, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, or other rights, agreements, or commitments of any nature obligating the Company or the Subsidiaries to issue, transfer, or sell any stock, other equity interests, or other voting securities in the Company or the Subsidiaries, or rights issued by the Company or the Subsidiaries, the value of which is based on the stock, other equity interests, or other voting securities in the Company or the Subsidiaries.

(d)    There are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company or the Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire any equity interests.

(a)    The execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of the Acquisition Documents do not, and the consummation of the Transactions will not, (i) conflict with or violate the articles of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, (ii) assuming that all consents, approvals, authorizations, and other actions described in Section 2.5(b) have been obtained or taken and all filings and obligations described in Section 2.5(b) have been made or fulfilled, conflict with or violate any Law or Order applicable to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or by which it or any of its respective properties or assets are bound, (iii) assuming that all consents, approvals, authorizations, and other actions described in Section 2.5(b) have been obtained or taken and all filings and obligations described in Section 2.5(b) have been made or fulfilled, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or give rise to any right of termination, amendment, or

acceleration of, any Permit or Material Contract, or (iv) create any Lien on any property or asset of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

(b)    Except as set forth in Section 2.5(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of the Acquisition Documents do not, and the consummation of the Transactions by the Company will not, require any consent, approval, authorization, or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any domestic (federal, state, or local) or foreign government or governmental, regulatory, or administrative authority, agency, instrumentality, or commission, any court, tribunal, or judicial or arbitral body (each, a “Governmental Authority”), or any other Person.

2.6.    Financial Statements; Accounts Receivable.

(b)    The Financial Statements are true, correct, and complete and, except as set forth in Section 2.6(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, have been prepared on an accrual basis, using consistent accounting practices for the periods and dates presented, in accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, except for the absence of footnotes and changes resulting from normal year-end adjustments for the Interim Financial Statements (that, if presented in the Interim Financial Statements, would not differ materially from those included in the Audited Financial Statements). The Financial Statements present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and present fairly the results of the consolidated operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries for the periods then ended, subject to the absence of footnotes and changes resulting from normal year-end adjustments (that, if presented, would not differ materially from those included in the Audited Financial Statements). The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the books and records of the Business, which have been properly maintained and are true, complete, and correct in all material respects. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries have received any advice or notification that it has used any improper accounting practice that would have the effect of not reflecting or incorrectly reflecting in the Financial Statements or the books and records, any properties, assets, Liabilities, revenues, or expenses.

(c)    The accounts receivable of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries, whether or not reflected on the most recent balance sheet included in the Financial Statements, represent bona fide transactions made in the ordinary course of business.

practice, there has not been any Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has taken any action prohibited or otherwise restricted under Section 5.1.

2.8.    No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth in Section 2.8 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has any Liabilities of any kind whatsoever other than Liabilities expressly described and adequately reserved against in accordance with GAAP in the Financial Statements or the notes thereto.

2.9.    Compliance with Laws; Permits; Inspections and Investigations.

(a)    Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has been, or is currently, in material violation of any Law or Order applicable to it or by which it or any of its properties or assets is bound. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is currently subject to any fine, penalty, or Liability as a result of a failure to comply with any requirement of any applicable Law or Order or has received any notice of such noncompliance.

All such Permits are current and valid and no revocation, suspension, restriction, cancellation, or adverse modification of any Permit is pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened. Section 2.9(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a correct and complete list of all such Permits, complete and correct copies of which have been provided to Purchaser. No violation, default, or deficiency exists with respect to any such Permits.

(o)    Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries shall agree or commit to take any of the foregoing actions prohibited by this Section 5.1.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that neither Purchaser nor its affiliates have the right to control or direct the Company’s or the Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Closing. Prior to the Closing, the Company and the Subsidiaries shall exercise, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, complete control, and supervision over its operations.

5.2.    Filings and Consents.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate with one another in determining which filings are required to be made by each party prior to the Closing with, and which consents, approvals, permits, or authorizations are required to be obtained by each party prior to the Closing from, Governmental Authorities or other Persons in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) assist the other parties in timely making all such filings and timely seeking all such consents, approvals, permits, authorizations, and waivers required to be made and obtained by the other parties. Prior to making any application to or filing with any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, each party shall provide the other parties with drafts of such application or filing (excluding any confidential information included therein) and afford the other parties a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts. Each of the parties shall promptly furnish all information required to be included in any such application or filing with any Governmental Authority.

(b)     Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Order that would restrain, prevent, or delay the consummation of the Transactions.

5.3.    Reasonable Assistance. Prior to the Closing, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all such actions, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in taking such action, as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as expeditiously as practicable, the Acquisition and the other Transactions on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Each party, at the reasonable request of the other parties, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of this Agreement and the Transactions.

(a)    Prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide Purchaser and its officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors, representatives, consultants, and financing sources (collectively, the “Purchaser Representatives”) reasonable access, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to the offices, facilities, books, and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries and to the Company’s executive officers, directors, managers, agents, counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors, and representatives (collectively, the “Company Representatives”).

(b)    The Company shall also furnish or make available to Purchaser and the Purchaser Representatives such financial and operating data and such other information with respect to the Company or the Subsidiaries as Purchaser or the Purchaser Representatives may from time to time reasonably request.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may withhold (i) any document or information that is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party, (ii) information that, if disclosed, would violate an attorney-client or other privilege or would constitute a waiver of rights as to attorney work product or attorney-client privilege, or (iii) information, the disclosure of which would violate applicable Law, such as portions of documents or information relating to pricing or other matters that are highly sensitive, if the exchange of such documents (or portions thereof) or information, as determined by the Company’s legal counsel, might reasonably result in antitrust compliance questions for such party (or any of its affiliates). If any material is withheld by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Equityholders’ Representative shall inform Purchaser as to the general nature of what is being withheld.

(d)    Except as otherwise agreed to by the Company, and notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2022 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between Purchaser and the Company shall apply to all information furnished to Purchaser or any Purchaser Representative by the Company or the Company Representative under this Agreement.

5.5.    Public Announcements. The Equityholders’ Representative (and the Company, prior to the Closing) agrees that it will not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to the Acquisition or the other Transactions without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except to the extent that disclosure is required by Law, in which case the Equityholders’ Representative shall give Purchaser prior written notice and an opportunity to review and comment upon such disclosure prior to its issuance.

5.6.    No Shop. Until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, none of the Company, the Subsidiaries, or any Equityholder shall, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, manager, employee, affiliate, agent, intermediary, or representative: (a) solicit, initiate, or encourage submission of proposals or offers from any Person relating to any purchase of the Company’s or any Subsidiaries’ assets, other than any purchase of assets in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, or any equity securities or any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, reclassification, or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (an “Acquisition Proposal”), (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to, or otherwise respond to, cooperate, or encourage any effort or attempt by any other Person to make an Acquisition Proposal, or (c) enter into any agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or any other transaction that would have the effect of preventing or limiting the Acquisition. The Company shall immediately (and in any event within one (1) Business Day of learning of the relevant

information) notify Purchaser if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry, or contact with respect to any of the foregoing, together with the details of such proposal, offer, inquiry, or contact, and the identity of the potential purchaser.

5.7.    Covenants Regarding Potential Breach. Prior to the Closing, each party shall promptly notify the other parties after learning of (a) any Material Adverse Effect with respect to such party, (b) any material Actions commenced or, to its Knowledge, threatened, involving or affecting the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or its respective rights, properties, or assets, (c) any representation or warranty made by such party in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, (d) any failure by such party to comply with or satisfy, in any material respect, any covenant, condition, or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement. Such party shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cure such matter or, to the extent a covenant or other agreement set forth in this Agreement requires an alternative standard of conduct (e.g., “reasonable best efforts”), such party shall act in accordance with such alternative standard of conduct to cure such matter. No disclosure by a party pursuant to this Section 5.7 (“Schedule Update”), however, shall be deemed to amend or supplement the schedule referred to in such representation or warranty or to prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or breach of covenant; provided, that if (i) the disclosure of the facts or conditions included in such Schedule Update (A) relates to events first arising or occurring after the date hereof and (B) would give Purchaser the right to elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE VII if the applicable cure period described therein has lapsed, and Purchaser does not make such termination election within twenty (20) Business Days of the delivery of such Schedule Update or otherwise proceeds to consummate the Closing after delivery of such Schedule Update, or (ii) relates to the addition of the Audited Financial Statements to Section 2.6(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, then such Schedule Update shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement for all purposes hereof, including with respect to ARTICLE VIII and the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a). The disclosure by any party in any Schedule Update shall not constitute an admission by it that any matters disclosed therein constitute or give rise to a failure of a condition under Section 6.2 or 6.3, as applicable, or a right to terminate in accordance with ARTICLE VII.

5.8.    Tax Matters.

(a)    Except as expressly covered by the provisions of this Agreement, all stock transfer, sales, use, excise, controlling interest, real estate transfer, documentary, stamp, recording, and other similar Taxes (including interest, penalties, and additions to any such Taxes) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the Transactions (regardless of the Person on whom such Transfer Taxes are imposed by Law) shall be paid by the Equityholders when due, and the Equityholders shall, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes; provided, that Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with the Equityholders’ Representative in preparing, executing, and filing any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

(b)    The Equityholders and Purchaser shall jointly make a timely election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding elections under state, local, or foreign Law) (collectively a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if Purchaser elects to make the Section 338(h)(10) Election, Purchaser shall pay to the Equityholders an additional amount equal to the agreed excess, if any, of the Tax incurred on the sale of Shares over the Tax that would have been incurred on the sale of Shares had no such Section 338(h)(10) Election been made, as agreed by the parties based upon good faith cooperation, which excess Purchaser shall pay to the Equityholders promptly following the filing of the Section 338(h)(10) Election as full and final satisfaction of Purchaser’s payment obligations to the Equityholders in respect of the Section 338(h)(10) Election. Purchaser shall prepare, execute, and deliver to the

Equityholders’ Representative, and each Equityholder shall execute and the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver to Purchaser, such documents and forms as each shall reasonably request or as are required by applicable Law for an effective Section 338(h)(10) Election, including IRS Form 8023 (together with any schedules or attachments thereto) or any successor form required pursuant to applicable Treasury Regulations and any applicable state form(s).

(c)    Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Equityholders’ Representative a schedule reflecting the allocation of the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to the Treasury Regulations under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code, in accordance with such Treasury Regulations and Section 1060 of the Code, among the asset classes of the Company and the Subsidiaries for all Tax purposes (as finalized pursuant to this Section 5.8(c), the “Allocation Schedule”). The parties hereto shall work together in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days following purchaser’s delivery of same to review and revise the proposed allocation as necessary to be mutually acceptable to the parties. Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall resolve any disputes regarding the Allocation Schedule by submission to the Accounting Firm using the procedures set forth in Section 1.3(d), mutatis mutandis. Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall amend the Allocation Schedule to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price and shall deliver such amended Allocation Schedule to Equityholders’ Representative within a reasonable time thereafter for Equityholders’ Representative’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. Purchaser and the Equityholders agree to adhere to, and not take any position for Tax purposes inconsistent with, the Allocation Schedule, as may be amended by mutual agreement of the parties, before any Governmental Authority or in any judicial proceeding and for the purposes of any Tax Returns filed by them subsequent to the Closing Date, unless required by applicable Law.

(d)    The Equityholders’ Representative, at the sole cost and expense of the Equityholders, shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns for the Company and the Subsidiaries (including any Flow-Thru Returns) with respect to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date, the portion of such taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date, including any deferred items triggered into income under Regulation 1.1502-13, any excess loss account taken into income under Regulation 1.1502-19, and the effects of a Section 338(h)(10) Election (the “Pre-Closing Period”), and shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes required to be paid with respect to such Tax Returns. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with applicable Law and, to the extent not inconsistent with the foregoing, the prior practice of the Company and the Subsidiaries. The Equityholders’ Representative shall provide Purchaser with completed drafts of any such Tax Returns for Purchaser’s review and comment at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the due date thereof, and the Equityholders’ Representative shall consider in good faith such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Purchaser prior to the filing thereof.

(e)    Purchaser will prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns for the Company and the Subsidiaries for all taxable periods commencing after the Closing Date and for any Straddle Period.

(f)    The Equityholders shall be responsible for any Tax with respect to the Company or the Subsidiaries that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Period or to that portion of the Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 5.8, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the

Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date, (iii) in the case of any Tax in the form of interest or penalties on any Tax for a Pre-Closing Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date), be treated as attributable to a Pre-Closing Period or that portion of the Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date, whether such items are incurred, accrued, assessed, or similarly charged on, before, or after the Closing Date, (iv) in the case of any Taxes imposed on the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or Purchaser as a result of income of any Flow-Thru Entity realized prior to the Closing Date (such income being computed assuming the Flow-Thru Entity had a year that ends on the Closing Date and closed its books), be treated as Taxes of the Company and the Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Period or that portion of the Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date, and (v) in the case of any Taxes imposed on the Company or any of the Subsidiaries with respect to the payment of any Transaction Expenses incurred or accrued at or prior to Closing by the Equityholders, the Company, or any of the Subsidiaries, be treated as Taxes of the Company for a Pre-Closing Period or that portion of the Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date.

(g)    To the extent reasonably requested, at the expense of the requesting party, Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall, respectively, (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of the Company and any of the Subsidiaries, (ii) assist in any audit or other Action with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company and any of the Subsidiaries, (iii) make available any information, records, or other documents in such party’s possession relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company and any of the Subsidiaries, (iv) provide any information in such party’s possession necessary or reasonably requested to allow Purchaser or the Company and any of the Subsidiaries to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Laws or to compute the amount of payroll or other employment Taxes due with respect to any payment made in connection with this Agreement, and (v) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Tax, in each case, with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.8(f) shall require the Purchaser to provide to the Equityholders’ Representative any Tax Returns of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates other than the Company and any of the Subsidiaries.

(h)    Following the Closing, Purchaser and Equityholders shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, (i) except as required by applicable Law, amend any Tax Return of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries filed with respect to any Pre-Closing Period, (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Period, (iii) extend or waive any statute of limitations for the assessment of any Tax with respect to any Pre-Closing Period, or (iv) enter into any voluntary disclosure agreement with any Governmental Authority with respect to any Tax for a Pre-Closing Period, in each case without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(i)    Following the Closing Date, if an audit or other Action is initiated by any Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (each a “Tax Contest”) for which (i) the Equityholders may have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement and (ii) the outcome is not reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Taxes or Tax positions of Purchaser or the Company or any of the Subsidiaries in periods or portions thereof after the Closing (including an increase in taxable income allocable to them) (a “Seller Tax Contest”), the party receiving notice of such audit or other Action shall promptly notify the other party in writing, stating the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known; provided, that the failure or delay to provide such notice will not relieve any party of any obligation or liability that it may have under this Agreement, except to the extent that the party entitled to receive such notice has been actually and materially prejudiced by the other party’s failure or delay to give such notice. The Equityholders’ Representative shall have the right, at its option and at the Equityholders’ Representative’s sole cost and expense, to elect to control any Seller Tax Contest; provided, that such election shall be made in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of such Seller Tax Contest. If the Equityholders’ Representative elects to control any Seller Tax Contest, then: (A) the Equityholders’ Representative shall provide Purchaser with a timely and reasonably detailed account of all material developments of such Seller Tax Contest, (B) Purchaser shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in such Seller Tax Contest and retain advisors of its choice, (C) the Equityholders’ Representative shall consult with Purchaser and offer Purchaser an opportunity to comment before submitting any material written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Seller Tax Contest and shall consider in good faith any such comments provided by Purchaser, and (D) in no event shall the Equityholders’ Representative settle, compromise, and/or concede any such Seller Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Purchaser. In connection with any Tax Contest other than a Seller Tax Contest and to the extent it relates to a Pre-Closing Period or a Straddle Period and for which the Equityholders may have any liability (including an increase in taxable income allocable to them) (each a “Purchaser Tax Contest”), Purchaser shall control each such Purchaser Tax Contest of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries at its own costs and expense, provided that (W) Purchaser shall provide the Equityholders’ Representative, at the Equityholders’ Representative’s expense, with a timely and reasonably detailed account of all material developments of such Tax Contest, (X) the Equityholders’ Representative shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate with representatives of its choosing in all stages of any such Tax Contest, (Y) Purchaser shall consult with the Equityholders’ Representative before submitting any material written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Contest and shall consider in good faith any such comments provided by the Equityholders’ Representative, and (Z) in no event shall Purchaser settle, compromise, and/or concede any such Purchaser Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Equityholders’ Representative. The provisions of this Section 5.8(h) shall take priority over the comparable provisions contained in ARTICLE VII.

5.9.    Additional Restrictive Covenant. In further consideration, and as a condition and inducement to Purchaser’s willingness to purchase the Equity for the Purchase Price and to protect the value of the Equity (including the customer relationships and goodwill in the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the Closing), each Equityholder covenants and agrees that such Equityholder shall not, directly or indirectly, publish, write, confirm, repeat, or otherwise communicate in any form, any information, misinformation, comment, opinion, or remark, regardless of its believed truth, that disparages, or could reasonably be expected to harm the reputation of Purchaser, the Company, any of the Subsidiaries, or any of their respective affiliates or their respective businesses, products, services, business practices, employment practices, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, consultants, or agents.

5.10.    Employment Matters.

(b)    At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cause to be adopted resolutions of the appropriate board of directors (or such other body, committee, individual, or person possessing the necessary plan termination authority) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, together with all necessary plan amendments, to (i) terminate all Benefit Plans intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 401(k) sponsored or maintained by the Company and the Subsidiaries (the “401(k) Plan”) effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the actual effective date of termination being referred to herein as the “Plan Termination Date”), (ii) freeze entry of new or rehired participants into the 401(k) Plan effective as of the Plan Termination Date, and (iii) cease all contributions to the 401(k) Plan effective as of the Plan Termination Date, other than contributions relating to periods of service prior to the Plan Termination Date. The form and substance of such resolutions and any necessary plan amendments shall be provided in advance to, and pre-approved by, Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall deliver to Purchaser a copy of such adopted resolutions and any necessary amendments, together with evidence of adoption, as soon as practicable following their adoption as provided above and shall fully comply with such resolutions and any necessary amendments thereto.

(c)    Nothing in this Agreement is intended or will be construed to (i) amend any Benefit Plan, (ii) affect the Company’s or any of the Subsidiaries’ or Purchaser’s, or any of their respective Affiliates’, right to amend or terminate any Benefit Plan or other benefit plan or program at any time, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of such plan, or (iii) require Purchaser, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Affiliates, to continue any specific benefit plan or program, or to continue the employment of any specific Person. No provision of this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Agreement will be construed to create any right to any compensation or benefits on the part of any employee, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, any collective bargaining representative thereof or any other future, present or former employee of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment, continued employment, and/or benefits that may be provided such Persons or under any benefit plan which the Company, any of the Subsidiaries, Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates may maintain.

5.11.    Treatment of Tax Refund Escrow Amount.

(a)    In the event that the Company receives payment from the Internal Revenue Service in respect of the Estimated Tax Refund after the Closing Date but before the twenty four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to promptly release from the Indemnity Escrow (i) to the Equityholders’ Representative (for and on behalf of the Equityholders) an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the Tax Refund Escrow Amount or (B) the amount of such payment received from the Internal Revenue Service and, if applicable, (ii) to Purchaser the amount by which the Tax Refund Escrow Amount exceeds such payment received by the Company from the Internal Revenue Service.

(b)    In the event that the Company does not receive payment from the Internal Revenue Service in respect of the Estimated Tax Refund after the Closing Date but before the twenty four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to promptly release from the Indemnity Escrow to Purchaser an amount equal to the Tax Refund Escrow Amount.

(c)    In the event that the Company receives payment from the Internal Revenue Service in respect of the Estimated Tax Refund prior to the Closing Date, the amount of the Tax Refund Escrow Amount shall be zero and the forgoing provisions of this Section 5.11 and Section 8.7(b)(i) shall be null and void and have no effect.

5.12.    Pre-Closing Transfer of Company Property. Prior to the Closing, the Company and the Equityholders shall take all actions required to complete the actions set forth in Section 5.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

5.13.    Savings Clause. To the extent that any provision of this ARTICLE V shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable as written, the parties stipulate and agree that such provision shall be retroactively amended to conform to the maximum restrictions allowed by Law, the same as if such provision as amended had originally been included in this ARTICLE V. Each party agrees that irreparable damage would occur and that the aggrieved party would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this ARTICLE V were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that an aggrieved party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions and other equitable relief, including specific performance, to prevent breaches of this ARTICLE V and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this ARTICLE V, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, including damages. Each party agrees that the aggrieved party will not be required to post bond or other similar security in seeking such relief. If, at any time, a party is in material breach of its duties and obligations under this ARTICLE V, any applicable statute of limitations affecting this ARTICLE V shall be tolled for such party during the period of time it is in such material breach.

(d)    Limitations.

(e)    Individual Equityholder Breaches. Notwithstanding the generality of anything in this ARTICLE VIII to the contrary, with respect to a breach of any representation or covenant by a specific Equityholder (each such individual Equityholder breach referred to herein as an “Individual Equityholder Breach”), such Equityholder shall be solely liable for all Losses arising in connection with such Individual Equityholder Breach (subject to the limitations and procedures set forth in this ARTICLE VIII), and no other Equityholder shall be liable hereunder for any such Individual Seller Breach; provided, however, that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be able to recover any Losses resulting from an Individual Seller Breach from the Indemnity Escrow Amount.

(d)    Limitations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser’s Liability Threshold shall not apply to claims against Purchaser under Section 8.2(a)(i) resulting from breaches of Sections 4.1, 4.2, or 4.6 or with respect to any claim based in-whole or in-part on fraud, bad faith, or willful misconduct.

8.3.    Notice and Opportunity to Defend.

(a)    If any party seeking indemnity under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) has notice of facts or circumstances that could reasonably result in a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII, then such Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice of any such claim to the party from whom indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”). No delay by the Indemnified Party in the delivery of such notice will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this ARTICLE VIII, except to the extent such delay actually and materially compromises or prejudices any right of the Indemnifying Party. If a third party has asserted any matter for which an Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party may participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may also assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against any such Third Party Claim if: (i) the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party intends to undertake such defense and the Indemnifying Party acknowledges and agrees in writing that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this ARTICLE VIII, (ii) the claimant making each Third Party Claim seeks only monetary damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, and (iii) the Indemnified Party has not been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in any proceedings, defense, and/or negotiation of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party (A) has not notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of notice of any such claim, (B) is not entitled to assume the defense, or (C) does not conduct the defense actively and diligently, the Indemnified Party may (without further notice to the Indemnifying Party) defend such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall nonetheless be responsible for the Losses to the fullest extent provided by this ARTICLE VIII. The Indemnifying Party may elect to participate in any proceedings, negotiations, or defense at any time at its own expense. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of the defense or investigation of a Third Party Claim (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) if (X) the claim for indemnification is with respect to a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation, or investigation, (Y) in which damages are sought in excess of an amount equal to the then-remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount (unless the Indemnifying Party provides to the Indemnified Party reasonable evidence of the Indemnifying Party’s ability to pay the amount in controversy with readily available or accessible funds), or (Z) the claim involves a dispute with a payor, material client or material vendor or a Governmental Authority; provided, that, in the case of clause (Z). No Indemnified Party shall settle or attempt to settle any Third Party Claim for which the Indemnified Party seeks to make a claim against the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE VIII without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. No Indemnifying Party shall settle or attempt to settle any Third Party Claim it is defending under this Section 8.3 without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, unless the settlement provides for no relief other than monetary damages for which the Indemnified Party will be fully indemnified under this ARTICLE VIII and provides for an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party.

(b)    In the event any Indemnifying Party receives an Indemnification Notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following its receipt of such Indemnification Notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes, or objects to, its Liability to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VIII (an “Objection”) specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute or objection. Failure to timely deliver an Objection shall constitute a final and binding acceptance of the claim by such Indemnifying

Party and such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed not to dispute the claim in such related Indemnification Notice. If the Indemnifying Party accepts a claim in an Indemnification Notice or elects not to dispute a claim described in an Indemnification Notice, whether by failing to provide a timely Objection or otherwise, then the amount of the Losses alleged in such Indemnification Notice will be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of the relevant Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party timely delivers an Objection, (i) the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any such claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and (ii) the parties shall in good faith seek to resolve any dispute within the twenty (20) Business Day period following the Objection (the “Dispute Resolution Period”). If the parties have not resolved their dispute within the Dispute Resolution Period, either Purchaser or a Selling Party may exercise any remedies such parties have under applicable Law to resolve such claim and dispute.

8.4.    Survival; Fraud. The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing, subject to the time limits on claims as provided in Sections 8.1(b) and 8.2(b), as applicable, and shall not be extinguished by the Closing. None of the limitations contained in this ARTICLE VIII shall apply to any claim based in-whole or in-part on fraud, bad faith, or willful misconduct.

8.5.    Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification rights provided in this ARTICLE VIII constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, other than (a) claims based in-whole or in-part on fraud, bad faith, or willful misconduct, (b) the remedy of specific performance provided by Section 5.13 and other equitable remedies, and (c) as provided by Section 1.3 with respect to the Adjustment Amount.

8.6.    Additional Limitations.

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the parties shall be liable to the other, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, for any punitive or exemplary or other similar type of damages whatsoever, that in any way arise out of, or relate to, or are a consequence of, its performance or nonperformance under the Acquisition Documents, except to the extent to which a Third Party Claim that is to be indemnified under this ARTICLE VIII includes such damages.

(b)    No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Losses to the extent such Losses are reflected in the Adjustment Amount.

(c)    Each Equityholder waives any right to (i) seek contribution or other payment from the Company or any of the Subsidiaries with respect to Losses for which such equityholder is required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII or (ii) bring a claim against the current or former directors, managers, or officers of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries as a result of Losses for which such Equityholder is required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII.

(d)    In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to receive indemnification for the same Loss more than once under this ARTICLE VIII even if the claim for indemnification in respect to such Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement.

(e)    For purposes of (i) determining whether there has been a failure of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement in this Agreement or any other Acquisition Document to be true and correct and (ii) calculating the amount of Losses with respect

thereto, such representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements alleged to have been breached shall be construed as if any qualification or limitation with respect to materiality, whether by reference to the terms “material,” “in all material respects,” “in any material respect,” “Material Adverse Effect” or other words or phrases of similar import or effect, were omitted or deleted from the text of such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.

(f)    Subject to Section 5.7, the right to indemnification, payment of Losses, or for other remedies based on any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement will not be affected by (i) any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time (including as may have resulted based on access rights hereunder), with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement or (ii) the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, and will not affect the right to indemnification based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements.

8.7.    Indemnity Escrow.

(a)    General. In order to provide security for any indemnification claims arising under Section 8.1, Purchaser shall deposit the Indemnification Escrow Amount in escrow with the Escrow Agent as the Indemnity Escrow, which Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be available to an appropriate Indemnified Party for any and all claims made under Section 8.1. The Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be held in the Indemnity Escrow for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date and disbursed in accordance with the terms of Section 8.7(b) and the Escrow Agreement. Any and all payments required pursuant to claims made under Section 8.1 shall first be made from the Indemnification Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided that, the Indemnification Escrow Amount shall not be the sole or exclusive relief afforded under this Agreement to an Indemnified Party for monetary damages for clams made under Section 8.1. All fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be paid by Purchaser.

(b)    Escrow Releases.

(i)    The Estimated Tax Refund shall be released from the Indemnification Escrow Amount in accordance with to the provisions of Section 5.11.

(ii)    On the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, one-third (1/3) of the balance of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, reduced by any amount subject to a timely claim made by an appropriate Indemnified Party under Section 8.1, shall be distributed to the Equityholders’ Representative for and on behalf of the Equityholders as provided in the Escrow Agreement.

(iii)    On the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, any residual balance of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, reduced by any amount subject to a timely claim made by an appropriate Indemnified Party under Section 8.1, shall be distributed to the Equityholders’ Representative for and on behalf of the Equityholders as provided in the Escrow Agreement.

9.1.    Equityholders’ Representative.

(a)    The Equityholders, by executing and delivering this Agreement to Purchaser, hereby irrevocably appoint David Steele as their agent to act on their behalf for purposes of the specific provisions of this Agreement involving the Equityholders’ Representative. All actions, decisions, and instructions of the Equityholders’ Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Equityholders, and no Equityholder shall have any cause of action against the Equityholders’ Representative for any action taken, decision made, or instruction given by the Equityholders’ Representative under this Agreement, except for fraud, bad faith, or willful breach of this Agreement by the Equityholders’ Representative.

(b)    Purchaser shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Equityholders’ Representative with respect to any actions required or permitted to be taken under this Agreement by the Equityholders’ Representative, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Equityholder by the Equityholders’ Representative with respect to any actions required or permitted to be taken by the Equityholders’ Representative under this Agreement. Purchaser shall also be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions given or made by, and on any other actions taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Equityholder by, the Equityholders’ Representative with respect to any actions required or permitted to be taken by the Equityholders’ Representative under this Agreement, including the settlement of any claims for indemnification by Purchaser pursuant to ARTICLE VIII.

(c)    In the event that the Equityholders’ Representative dies, becomes unable to perform his responsibilities hereunder, or resigns from such position, the Equityholders holding, immediately prior to the Closing, a majority of the Equity (excluding any Equity held by the Equityholders’ Representative or his successors) are authorized to and shall select another representative to fill such vacancy and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Equityholders’ Representative for purposes of this Agreement.
