including the holdback provisions set forth in Section 2.11 and the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 9; 

  
 17 












 (b) Certain Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned
by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their Affiliates shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor (such shares of
Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Cancelled Shares”); and 
 (c) Capital Stock of Merger
Sub. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation,
and thereupon each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall thereafter be deemed for all purposes to represent ownership of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. 

2.7 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares of Company Common Stock
in accordance with Section 29-311 of the DC Code (such shares of Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to
perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DC Code with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration, but shall be canceled and
shall cease to exist, and shall instead represent the right only to such rights as are granted by the DC Code; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s
right to appraisal pursuant to Section 29-311 of the DC Code or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 29-311 of the DC Code, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger
Consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, without interest thereon. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Company Common Stock, any
withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DC Code that relates to such demand, and the Company shall have the opportunity and right to direct all

any such demands.

 21 












 
distributed to the Persons entitled thereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, at the respective times and subject to the contingencies specified herein. Notwithstanding the

If, after the Effective Time, Company stock certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the
procedures set forth, in this Section 2. 
 2.10 Withholding Rights. Each of the Paying Agent, Parent,

the Surviving Corporation or their respective authorized affiliates, as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in

voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Shareholder Representative is not 

  
 22 












 
providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice. The Shareholder Representative shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than
as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Shareholder Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund, and, except as required by Applicable Law, has no Tax
reporting obligations in connection with the Expense Fund. Contemporaneous with or as soon as practicable following the release in full of the Indemnity Holdback Amount, the Shareholder Representative shall distribute the remaining Expense Fund (if
any) to the Company Shareholders based on their respective Pro Rata Portions of such amount.

Key Employee Agreement); or 
 (C) the employment of any Key Employee is terminated by the employee for Good Reason (as defined in such Key

 (c) Process. 

(i) The Parent shall calculate the 2022 Achieved Earnout Amount and 2023 Achieved Earnout Amount in connection with its ordinary year-end accounting processes and as soon as practicable thereafter, but in any event not later than June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, deliver to the Shareholder Representative a report showing such
calculation (each a “Draft Earnout Report”). 
 (ii) Following receipt by the Shareholder Representative of the Draft
Earnout Report, the Shareholder Representative may request a meeting with representatives of the Parent, which meeting shall take place promptly, and in any event not later than 30 days following such request, in person or by telephone conference or

reasonable inquiries for the purpose of providing the Shareholder Representative with a reasonably detailed understanding of the calculation of the Achieved Earnout Amount and the calculation of any corresponding payments. The Shareholder

 25 












 
specific itemized objections to, Parent’s calculation of the Achieved Earnout Amount (the “Shareholder Representative Response”). Shareholder Representative agrees to
maintain confidentiality of any and all information in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof. Failure by Shareholder Representative to object to Parent’s calculation of the Achieved Earnout Amount or, if earlier,
Shareholder Representative’s affirmative agreement in writing to Parent’s calculations shall be deemed to be Shareholder Representative’s acceptance of the Draft Earnout Report and that Draft Earnout Report shall automatically and
irrevocably be deemed a “Final Earnout Report” in accordance with this Section 2.12(c)(iii) and shall have full weight and accord of a res judicata decision (final judgment without any possible way of
recourse or appeal). Any objection to a Draft Earnout Report that could have been, but was not, raised as an objection prior to such Draft Earnout Report becoming a “Final Revenue Report” is expressly waived. Parent shall make the
payment of the Achieved Earnout Amount, if any, to the Company Shareholders in their respective Pro Rata Portion within fifteen (15) Business Days after a Draft Earnout Report becomes a Final Earnout Report. 

(d) Earnout Covenants. Until December 31, 2023 or the earlier payment in full of the Achieved Earnout Amount, Parent agrees to,
and agrees to cause and its Affiliates (including the Company) to:

manner as an integrated business unit subject to the requirements of this Section 2.12(d); 
 (ii) not act in bad
faith for the purpose of lessening or avoiding the Achieved Earnout Amount; 
 (iii) maintain books and records relating to the subject
matter of this Section 2.12 to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.12; 

(iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to perform contractual obligations with respect to the Company’s customer Contracts and use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide sufficient resources to the Company to fulfill and pursue customer opportunities in order to achieve Earnout Revenue; 

(v) use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to offer Company Products in substantially the same manner as offered by the Company
immediately prior to Closing; 
 (vi) not significantly reduce the number of employees of the Company or materially increase prices of
Company Products (other than periodic adjustments consistent with past practices of the Company or as a pass through of increased costs), which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed; and 

(vii) not transfer any Material Contracts. 

(e) Acceleration of Earnout Payments. Following any Earnout Acceleration Event, if such event takes place: 

(i) on or prior to December 31, 2022, Parent shall immediately pay to the Shareholder Representative the 2022 Earnout Maximum
Consideration and the 2023 Earnout Maximum Consideration; 

  
 26 












 (ii) after December 31, 2022 and on or prior to December 31, 2023, Parent shall
immediately pay to the Shareholder Representative the 2023 Earnout Maximum Consideration and any unpaid 2022 Achieved Earnout Amount. 
 2.13
Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. Each party hereto will take all such reasonable and lawful action as may be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate the Merger in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as possible. If, at
any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest Parent with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the
Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Company are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such
action is not inconsistent with this Agreement. 
 2.14 Post-Closing Adjustments. 

(a) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholder Representative a certificate (the
“Closing Certificate”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the Final Working Capital, (ii) the Final Net Cash, (iii) a balance sheet of the Company as of 12:01 am local time on the anticipated Closing Date which
shall have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Rules (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), and (iv) Parent’s calculation of each of the components of the Final Working Capital and Final Net Cash, and the aggregate
amounts thereof. Parent shall provide to the Shareholder Representative all material work papers used in the calculation of each of the components of the Final Working Capital and Final Net Cash. 

(b) The Shareholder Representative shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance
Sheet have been delivered to it to raise any objection(s) to the Closing Certificate or the Closing Balance Sheet, by delivery of written notice to Parent setting forth such objection(s) in reasonable detail (the “Disputed Items”).
In the event that the Shareholder Representative shall not deliver any such objection(s) with respect to the Closing Certificate or the Closing Balance Sheet within such thirty (30)-day period, then the
Closing Certificate shall be deemed final for purposes of this Section 2.14. In the event that any such objection(s) are so delivered, the Closing Certificate shall be deemed not final and Parent and the Shareholder
Representative shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve the Disputed Items and, if they are unable to resolve all of the Disputed Items within thirty (30) days of delivery of such notice, shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter (or
such earlier date as mutually agreed), submit the Disputed Items to the Independent Accounting Firm. Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall provide to the Independent Accounting Firm all work papers and
back-up materials relating to the Disputed Items requested by the Independent Accounting Firm to the extent available to Parent or its Representatives or the Shareholder Representative or its Representatives;
provided, however, that any materials so provided to the Independent Accounting Firm shall also be made available to the other disputing party hereto. Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall be afforded the opportunity to
present to the Independent Accounting Firm any material related to the Disputed Items and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accounting Firm. No party shall have or conduct any communication with the Independent Accounting Firm without the
other party either being present or, with respect to written communication, sending to the other party a concurrent copy thereof. The Independent Accounting Firm shall base its determination solely on the presentations and supporting material
provided by the parties. In resolving any Disputed Item, the Independent Accounting Firm shall not assign a value to any item higher than the highest value for such item, or lower than the lowest value for such item, claimed by either Parent or the
Shareholder Representative. The determination by the Independent Accounting Firm, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to Parent and the Shareholder Representative within thirty (30) days after the submission of the Disputed Items to the
Independent Accounting Firm, shall be final, binding and conclusive on Parent, the 

  
 27 












 
Shareholder Representative and the Company Shareholders. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be split equally between Parent and the Shareholder Representative. The
Final Working Capital and the Final Net Cash reflected in the Closing Certificate, as revised to reflect the resolution of any and all disputes by Parent and the Shareholder Representative and/or the Independent Accounting Firm, shall be deemed to
be the “Final Working Capital” and the “Final Net Cash”, respectively.

 6.2 Confidentiality. 

(a) The parties acknowledge that Parent (or one of its Affiliates) and the Company have previously executed a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated September 8, 2020 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which Confidentiality Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall continue in full force
and effect in accordance with its terms, as if such Confidentiality Agreement were entered into directly by each of the parties hereto; provided that from and after the Closing, all of Parent’s and its Affiliates obligations under the
Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. Following the Closing, all Trade Secrets owned by the Company shall be deemed to be Trade Secrets of the Parent and its Affiliates. 

(b) From and after the Closing, except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Shareholder Representative agrees to keep confidential
and not disclose (other than to the Company Shareholders and its and their officers, directors, employees, attorneys and other advisors with a bona fide need to know, provided that such Persons have agreed to the confidentiality restrictions
contained herein): (i) matters regarding the interpretation, performance, breach or termination of this Agreement or any agreement executed in connection herewith, and (ii) all confidential and/or proprietary information of the Company obtained
by the Shareholder Representative or its directors, officers, employees, agents or its other Representatives, except to the extent that (A) such information has otherwise been made public, (B) any such information is reasonably necessary
for enforcing the Company Shareholders’ or the Shareholder Representative’s rights hereunder or thereunder, or (C) the Shareholder Representative is required by Applicable Law to divulge or disclose any such information (in which case
the Shareholder Representative shall promptly notify Parent in advance of disclosing such information and use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent to limit such disclosure, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law). 

6.3 Public Disclosure. Parent shall consult with the Company regarding Parent’s initial press release. Prior to the Closing,
(a) neither the Company nor the Shareholder Representative shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or other public (or non-confidential) disclosure (whether or not in response
to an inquiry) regarding the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior approval of Parent and (b) Parent shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or other public (or non-confidential) disclosure (whether or not in response to an inquiry) regarding the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior approval of the Company, except in each case
as may be required by Applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange. From and after the Closing, neither the Parent nor the Shareholder Representative shall issue any press release or
otherwise make any public statement or other public (or non-confidential) disclosure (whether or not in response to an inquiry) regarding the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
without the prior approval of other party, except as may be required by Applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or as may be required to enforce this Agreement. For the avoidance of
doubt, each party may make statements that are not inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the parties in connection with this Section 6.3. 

6.4 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the Company and Parent shall give immediate notice to the other if any of the following

(e) the commencement or threat of any action involving or affecting the Company or any of its respective properties or assets; 

(f) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any fact or event that causes or is reasonably likely to cause
a breach by the Company or Parent of any provision of this Agreement applicable to it; 
 (g) the occurrence of any fact or event of which
such party becomes aware that results in any material inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of such party in this Agreement; and 

(h) the occurrence of any event that, had it occurred prior to the Agreement Date without any additional disclosure hereunder, would have
constituted a Company Material Adverse Effect; provided, that the delivery of any notice by any party pursuant to this provision shall not modify any representation or warranty of such party, cure any breaches thereof or limit or otherwise
affect the rights or remedies available hereunder to the other parties and the failure of the party receiving such information to take any action with respect to such notice shall not be deemed a waiver of any breach or breaches to the
representations or warranties of the party disclosing such information. 
 6.5 Employees. 

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts in
consultation with Parent to retain the employees of the Company, including the Key Employees, through the Closing Date and following the Merger. 

(b) Parent intends for the Company to continue to employ all of the employees of the Company, subject to confirmation that they satisfy
Parent’s generally applicable employment requirements. For all continuing employees and until December 31, 2021, Parent will continue to provide compensation and benefits under the Company’s existing plans. Effective on or about
January 1, 2022, all continuing employees will be provided compensation and benefits pursuant to Parent plans that are comparable in the aggregate with the compensation and benefits (excluding equity compensation, severance pay and benefits,
retiree health benefits, and defined benefit pension plan benefits) enjoyed by Company employees immediately prior to the Effective Time or by similarly-situated employees of Parent or its Affiliates. Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause that each continuing employee will receive credit for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting under each Parent plan for years of service with the Company prior to the Effective Time. In addition, with respect to any health and
welfare plan maintained by Parent or its Affiliates (including the Company) in which any continuing employee is eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date, Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) cause pre-existing conditions or limitations, exclusions, eligibility waiting periods, required physical examinations, and other evidence of insurability requirements under


  
 63 












 
any Parent plans that are welfare benefit plans in which such continuing employees will be eligible to participate upon or after the Effective Time to be waived and (B) provide credit for
any co-payments, co-insurance, deductibles, offsets, out-of-pocket expenses or similar
requirements under any such plans in which the continuing employee (and his or her eligible dependents) will participate upon or after the Effective Time. As of the Closing, Parent will cause all vacation accrued by continuing employees under the
vacation policies of the Company to be carried over by Parent and shall be permitted to be maintained up to the levels permitted under the applicable policy of the Company. 

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 6.5 shall not create any right
in any employee of the Company or any other Person, to any continued employment with the Company, Parent or any of its Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever. This Section 6.5 is not
intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, to create any agreement of employment with any Person or to otherwise create any
third-party beneficiary hereto. Nothing contained in this Section 6.5 shall be deemed to be the adoption of, or an amendment to, any employee benefit plan, program, arrangement, contract or practice, or otherwise limit the
right of the Parent to amend, modify or terminate any employee benefit plan, program, arrangement, contract, practice or other Company program, including but not limited to its travel or other policies. 

(d) In the event this Agreement is terminated without giving effect to the Merger, Parent agrees that it and its Affiliates will not, during
the two years after the date of termination, solicit for employment (as an employee, independent contractor, consultant or otherwise), any employee of the Company as of the Agreement Date. The foregoing shall not restrict the Parent and its
Affiliates from making general solicitations of employment not specifically directed to the employees of the Company. 
 6.6 Expenses.
Whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expense. For purposes of clarity, the Company shall be
responsible for the Transaction Expenses. 
 6.7 Release and Termination of Security Interests. The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to seek and obtain the release of all outstanding security interests, in any, of the Company’s assets and to terminate all UCC financing statements, if any, which have been filed with respect to such security interests. 

6.8 Required Contract Consents. To the extent requested by Parent, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
the consent to any Contract for which consent is required in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall deliver such consents to Parent. 

6.9 Shareholder Approval. 

(a) As promptly as practicable, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the Agreement Date, the Company shall submit
this Agreement and the Transactions (including the Merger) to all of the Company Shareholders for approval and adoption as provided by the DGCL and the DC Code and the Company’s Organizational Documents. Such notice shall advise the Company
Shareholders of their right to pursue appraisal rights and otherwise satisfy the requirements of the DC Code. Such submission, and any proxy or consent in connection therewith, shall specify that adoption of this Agreement shall constitute approval
by the Company Shareholders of: (i) the holdback 

  
 64 












 
and indemnification obligations of the Company Shareholders (subject to the limitations herein) and (ii) the appointment of Michael Whalen as the Shareholders’ Representative, with the
rights and responsibilities set forth in this Agreement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of or consent to the Merger and this Agreement of as many of the Company Shareholders as practicable following
the Agreement Date. 
 (b) Any materials to be submitted to the Company Shareholders in connection with the solicitation of their approval
of the Merger and this Agreement shall be subject to the reasonable review and approval by Parent. 
 6.10 Support Agreements. The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain prior to the Closing a Support Agreement executed by each Company Shareholder, other than a Company Shareholder who has executed and delivered a Voting and Support Agreement. 

6.11 Data Room. Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to Parent on one or more memory
sticks a complete and accurate electronic copy of the data room as it existed on the Closing Date. Delivery of any item included in the memory sticks pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall constitute “delivery”
within the meaning of Section 3. 
 6.12 Tax Matters. 

(a) 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. 
 (b) Preparation of Tax Returns. Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely
filed all Tax Returns for the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period and Straddle Period that are required to be filed after the Closing Date. All Tax Returns filed by Parent after the Closing Date will be
prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice and custom of the Company to the extent consistent with Applicable Law. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date that each such Tax Return is due, Parent shall submit such Tax Return to
the Shareholder Representative for its review and consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). When preparing such Tax Returns, Parent agrees that all Tax deductions and other benefits relating to the Transaction Expenses shall be
allocated to the Pre-Closing Period to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. 
 (c) Tax
Contests. After the Closing Date, Parent, the Company and the Shareholder 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 Parent may be entitled to indemnity under this Agreement. After the Closing Date,
Parent shall have the exclusive right to represent the interests of the Company in any and all Tax Contests; provided, however, that the Shareholder Representative shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest and to
employ counsel at its own expense of its choice (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent) for purposes of such participation to the extent that any such Tax Contest could reasonably be expected to result in a Tax liability subject to
indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and provided further that, to the extent such Tax Contest relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Parent shall promptly provide the


  
 65 












 
Shareholder Representative with any material correspondence with the applicable Tax Authority related thereto. In the event that Parent proposes to compromise or settle any Tax Contest, or
consent or agree to any Tax liability, relating to the Company that would result in an indemnity payment, the Shareholder Representative shall have the right to review such proposed compromise, settlement, consent or agreement. Parent shall not
agree or consent to compromise or settle any Tax Contest for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or liability for indemnification unless the Shareholder Representative consents to such settlement, compromise or
concession, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 (d) Cooperation. Parent and the Shareholder
Representative shall cooperate fully as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party in connection with the preparation and filing of any Return required of the Company and the defense of any Tax Contest, claim, audit, litigation or
other proceeding, with respect to Taxes which may be payable by the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Parent, the Company and the Shareholder Representative agree to abide by all record retention
requirements of, or record retention agreements entered into with, any Tax authority. 
 (e) Certain Taxes and Fees. All transfer,
documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne and paid fifty percent (50%) by the Company Shareholders and fifty percent (50%) by Parent when due. The party responsible under Applicable Law for submitting payment of such Taxes to the
applicable Tax authority shall file all necessary Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees. If required by Applicable Law, Parent or the Company shall
join in the execution of any such Returns and other documentation. 
 (f) Post-Closing Actions. Unless otherwise required by
Applicable Law, Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including after the Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Surviving Corporation) to, except as otherwise permitted under this Section 6.12,
file, re-file, supplement, or amend any Tax Return of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent such filing would result in a liability for
indemnification of the Company Shareholders under this Agreement or an increased personal Tax liability of the Company Shareholders. 
 (g)
Tax Agreements. Except for agreements entered into the ordinary course, the principal purpose of which is not Taxes, all Tax-sharing agreements or similar contracts with respect to or involving the
Company and any other person shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder. 

6.13 Release of Claims. 

(a) By execution and delivery of the Letter of Transmittal and effective for all purposes as of the Closing, each Company Shareholder

that are made available to Parent. 
 (c) By execution and delivery of the Letter of Transmittal, each Company Shareholder, on behalf of
itself and each of its (or, as applicable, his or her) Releasing Affiliates acknowledges that it, he or she may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those that such Company Shareholder or Releasing Affiliate now knows or

(f) Disclosures. The disclosures set forth in the Disclosure Schedules shall affect only the representations and warranties to which
they relate and the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 9.1(a); they shall not have any effect on or in any other way limit the indemnification provisions set forth in

acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the date the Closing occurs, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation,
warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition to the obligation of Parent or the Company to consummate the Merger, where such condition is based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or
compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. 

9.9 Exclusive Remedy. The provisions contained in this Section 9 are intended to provide the sole and
exclusive remedy for the parties following the Closing as to all money damages based on or arising out of the representations, warranties and covenants of the parties hereunder (it being understood that nothing in this
Section 9 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the parties right to seek specific performance or other equitable remedies to enforce their rights under this Agreement or any other instrument executed in connection
herewith). 
 9.10 Additional Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Company Shareholder may make
any claim for indemnification by reason of the fact that such Company Shareholder was a controlling person, director, officer, member, manager, employee or representative of the Company or was serving as such for another Person at the request of the
Company (whether such claim is for Damages of any kind or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to the Company’s Organizational Documents or any Applicable Law, order, Contract or otherwise) with respect to any claim for indemnification
brought by a Parent Indemnified Person against the Company Shareholders under this Agreement or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or that is based upon any facts or circumstances that form the basis
for a claim for indemnification by an Parent Indemnified Person.

 10.3 Entire Agreement; Nonassignability; Parties in
Interest. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including the exhibits and schedules hereto, including the Disclosure Schedule: (a) together
constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof except for the
Confidentiality Agreement, which except as set forth in Section 6.2 shall continue in full force and effect, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the Closing, in accordance with its terms; and (b) are
not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder and shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the written consent of the other party; provided, that (i) Parent may freely assign any of

employer under this Agreement and/or any of the other Transaction Documents in addition to and/or in lieu of Parent hereunder, provided in each such case that Parent shall remain fully responsible for all payment obligations pursuant to this
Agreement. 
 10.4 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof becomes or is declared
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as
reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic,
business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

 10.5 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies
herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any
other remedy. 
 10.6 Governing Law. 

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of Delaware applicable to parties residing in
Delaware, without regard applicable principles of conflicts of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights and obligations of the Company Shareholders with respect to the approval and effects of the Merger and their rights in respect to the
approval of the Merger shall be governed by the applicable provisions of the DC Code. 
 (b) The parties hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if such court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, then in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware, or if jurisdiction is not then available in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (but only in such event), then in any Delaware state court sitting in New Castle County) and any appellate court from any
of such courts (the “Chosen Courts”), for any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement (but not relating to any other claims between the parties) (and the parties agree not to commence any Action relating to this
Agreement except in the Chosen Courts), and further agree that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the addresses set forth in Section 10.1 shall be effective service of process for
any Action brought against the applicable party in any Chosen Court. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of this Agreement, in the Chosen Courts, and hereby further
irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION (WHETHER AT LAW, IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. 
 10.7 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been
represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document
will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. 
 10.8 Specific Enforcement. Each party acknowledges and
agrees that the other party would be irreparably harmed and would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the applicable party in accordance with their specific terms or
were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each party agrees that the other party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this
being in addition to any other remedy to which each party is entitled at law or in equity. 
 10.9 Amendment; Waiver. Any amendment or
waiver of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and must be duly executed by or on behalf of the party to be charged with such waiver. The failure of a party to exercise any of its rights hereunder or to insist upon
strict adherence to any term or condition hereof on any one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to the terms and conditions of this Agreement at a later date.
Further, no waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other term of condition hereof (whether or not similar).
