 ARTICLE II 

PURCHASE AND SALE; CLOSING 

Section 2.1    Purchase and Sale of the Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Sellers shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and acquire from the Sellers, legal and beneficial ownership of all of the Shares, free and clear
of any Encumbrances, for the consideration specified in Section 2.2. 

Section 2.2    Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares shall
consist of the Cash Payment, as defined in this Section below), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.5 (the “Purchase Price”). The “Cash Payment” means the amount equal to: 

(a)    $50,600,000; 

(b)    minus Closing Liabilities; 

(c)    minus the Escrow Amount; 

(d)    minus the Closing Indebtedness Amount, if any; 

(e)    minus the unpaid Transaction Expenses Amount, if any; 

(f)     plus the Net Working Capital Surplus, if any, or minus the Net Working Capital Deficit, if any; 

(g)    plus the Closing Cash Surplus, if any, or minus the Closing Cash Deficit, if any; and 

(h)    plus the principal amount shown on that certain promissory note from StateServ in connection with the DME
Business sale (“StateServ Note”); At the Closing, the ESOP shall immediately use such portion of the Cash Payment paid to it as is necessary to fully pay and extinguish any outstanding loan between the ESOP and the Principals. 

Section 2.3    Payments at Closing. At the Closing, Buyer shall: 

(a)    pay the Cash Payment to the Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts
designated by the Sellers on Schedule 2.3(a); 
 (b)    deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Escrow Amount to
the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 2.4, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account identified by the Escrow Agent in writing on or before the Closing Date; 

(c)    pay the Closing Indebtedness Amount, if any, pursuant to any payoff letters delivered to Buyer by the Sellers prior
to the Closing; and 

  
 11 








 (d)    pay the Transaction Expenses Amount to the Persons and accounts in the
amounts designated by the Sellers. 
 Section 2.4    Escrow. At the
Closing, Buyer shall deliver the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. On the Business Day following the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the
“Escrow Release Date”), the Merrell Trust shall be entitled to receive a positive amount (the “Escrow Release Amount”), if any, calculated as (a) the Escrow Amount, plus (b) any interest thereon, less
(c) the aggregate dollar amount of any claims resolved prior to the Escrow Release Date pursuant to Section 8.4, less (d) the aggregate amount of claims for indemnification under
Section 8.1 outstanding at such time (each, an “Unresolved Claim”). From time to time, promptly after final resolution of any Unresolved Claim, the Merrell Trust and Buyer will instruct the Escrow Agent to
disburse to the Merrell Trust or Buyer, as appropriate, amounts held by the Escrow Agent in respect of such Unresolved Claim. At such date after the Escrow Release Date, as all Unresolved Claims arising prior to such date are resolved, Buyer and the
Merrell Trust will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Merrell Trust the remaining Escrow Release Amount. The fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by the Merrell
Trust. 
 Section 2.5    Adjustment. 

(a)    Estimated Cash Payment Statement. The Sellers shall deliver to Buyer, not less than three (3) Business
Days prior to the Closing Date, a statement (the “Estimated Cash Payment Statement”) in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2.5(a) which sets forth the Sellers’ good faith estimates, as of the Closing Date, of
(i) the Closing Cash Amount (ii) Closing Liabilities (iii) the Closing Cash Surplus, if any, or the Closing Cash Deficit, if any (iv) the Closing Indebtedness Amount, (v) the Transaction Expenses Amount, (vi) Net
Working Capital, (vii) the Net Working Capital Surplus, if any, or the Net Working Capital Deficit, if any, (viii) StateServ Note, and (ix) based on the foregoing amounts, the Cash Payment (the “Estimated Cash
Payment”). The amounts set forth on the Estimated Cash Payment Statement shall be used in calculating the Cash Payment to be delivered at the Closing. The Estimated Cash Payment Statement shall be prepared without giving effect to the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by, or any of the actions to be taken or amounts to be paid under or in connection with, this Agreement, and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, as modified by the definitions of Closing Cash
Amount and Net Working Capital contained in this Agreement and otherwise as set forth on Schedule 2.5(a). During the period between the delivery of the Estimated Cash Payment Statement and the Closing, the Sellers shall afford Buyer and its
Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records, personnel and advisors of the Company to the extent reasonably required in connection with Buyer’s review and verification of the Estimated Cash Payment
calculation, including the Company’s work papers underlying or utilized in preparing such estimates and calculations contained in such certificate, and the Sellers and Buyer shall consult in good faith with one another and the Sellers shall
incorporate any reasonable comments of Buyer into the Estimated Cash Payment Statement, without prejudice to Buyer’s or the Sellers’ other rights hereunder. 

(b)    Final Cash Payment Statement. 

(i)    Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to the Sellers a statement (the
“Cash Payment Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s good faith determinations, as of the Closing Date, of (A) the Closing Cash Amount, (B) the Closing 

  
 12 








 
Liabilities, (C) Closing Cash Surplus, if any or the Closing Cash Deficit, if any, (D) the Closing Indebtedness Amount, (E) the Transaction Expenses Amount, (F) Net Working
Capital, (G) the Net Working Capital Surplus, if any, or the Net Working Capital Deficit, if any, (H) the StateServ Note, and (I) based on the foregoing amounts, the Cash Payment. The Cash Payment Statement shall be prepared using the
same principles, practices, methodologies and policies that are required to be used pursuant to Section 2.5(a) to prepare the Estimated Cash Payment Statement. 

(ii)    After receipt of the Cash Payment Statement, the Sellers shall have thirty (30) days to review it. The
Sellers shall deliver notice to Buyer on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of the Cash Payment Statement specifying in reasonable detail all disputed items, if any, and a summary of the basis therefor. If the Sellers fail to deliver
such notice in such thirty (30) day period, the Sellers will have waived the right to contest the Cash Payment Statement. If the Sellers notify Buyer of any objections to the Cash Payment Statement in such thirty (30) day period, the
Sellers and Buyer shall, within thirty (30) days following the date of such notice(s) (the “Resolution Period”), attempt to resolve their differences and any written resolution by them as to any disputed amount will be final
and binding for all purposes under this Agreement. 
 (iii)    If at the conclusion of the Resolution Period the
Sellers and Buyer have not reached an agreement on any objections of the Sellers with respect to the Cash Payment Statement, then all amounts and issues remaining in dispute will be submitted by the Sellers and Buyer to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
(the “Neutral Auditor”) for a determination resolving such amounts and issues. Buyer and the Merrell Trust each agree to execute, if requested by the Neutral Auditor, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to the determination
to be made by the Neutral Auditor. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Auditor will be borne by Buyer and the Merrell Trust respectively, in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the
disputed items submitted to the Neutral Auditor by Buyer or the Merrell Trust that are unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Neutral Auditor) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of disputed items submitted by Buyer and
the Merrell Trust. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by Buyer and the Merrell Trust in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Neutral Auditor will be borne by the Party incurring
such cost and expense. The Neutral Auditor shall determine only those issues still in dispute at the end of the Resolution Period, and the Neutral Auditor’s determination will be based upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. The determination by the Neutral Auditor will be based solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by Buyer and the Sellers to the Neutral Auditor and not on the Neutral Auditor’s independent review. Buyer and the
Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to make their respective presentations as promptly as practicable following submission to the Neutral Auditor of the disputed items (but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after
engagement of the Neutral Auditor), and each of Buyer and the Sellers will be entitled, as part of such Party’s presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other and any questions and requests of the Neutral Auditor. In deciding any
matter, the Neutral Auditor (A) will be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.5(b)(iii) and (B) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Buyer or the
Sellers or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Buyer or the Sellers. 
 (iv)    The Neutral
Auditor’s determination will be made within forty-five (45) days after its engagement (which engagement will be made no later than five (5) Business Days after the end of the Resolution Period), or as soon thereafter as possible, will
be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Sellers and Buyer and will be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder. The determination of the Neutral Auditor will not be
deemed an 

  
 13 








 
award subject to review under the Federal Arbitration Act or any other similar statute. The term “Final Cash Payment Statement” means the definitive Cash Payment Statement
determined in accordance with Section 2.5(b)(ii) or the definitive Cash Payment Statement resulting from the determination made by the Neutral Auditor in accordance with this Section 2.5(b)(iv).
The Net Working Capital Surplus, if any, the Net Working Capital Deficit, if any, the Closing Cash Amount, Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Transaction Expenses Amount and, based on the foregoing, the calculation of final Cash Payment, shall be set
forth on the Final Cash Payment Statement. 
 (v)    Within ten (10) Business Days after the Cash Payment
Statement becomes final and binding on the Parties in accordance with this Section 2.5(b): 

(A)    if the Cash Payment exceeds the Estimated Cash Payment, then such excess shall be paid by Buyer to
the Sellers in cash; or 
 (B)    if the Estimated Cash Payment exceeds the Cash Payment, then such
excess shall be paid by the Merrell Trust to Buyer in cash, and the Principals shall cause such payment to be made. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, in
accordance with paragraph (i) above, the payment in this Section 2.5(b)(v) shall reflect the aggregate impact of adjustments with respect to final determination of the Closing Cash Amount, the Closing Liabilities, the
Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Transaction Expenses Amount, StateServ Note, and Net Working Capital. All payments to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.5(b)(v) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to an account designated by the Sellers in writing. All payments to Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.5(b)(v) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer in writing.

 (vi)    If any payment required under Section 2.5(b)(v) is not made in full within such
ten (10) Business Day period, such payment will thereafter bear simple interest at a rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal plus four percent (4.0%) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
prohibit or limit the ability of Buyer to satisfy any payment obligations of the Sellers under this Section 2.5(b) from the Escrow Amount, which Buyer shall be entitled to recover from the Escrow Amount should it determine
in its sole discretion to proceed against the Escrow Amount with respect to such payment obligations of the Sellers. No such claim or recovery against the Escrow Amount shall be deemed to limit or otherwise waive Buyer’s right to proceed
directly against any Seller for such amounts. 
 (vii)    During the period required for the preparation and review of,
and resolution of disputes relating to, the Cash Payment Statement or the amounts set forth on the Cash Payment Statement, the Sellers and Buyer shall each afford the other’s accountants and other designated Representatives access during
regular business hours to the books and records as they may reasonably require in order to review and verify the items on the Final Cash Payment Statement. 

(c)    For Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the Sellers and Buyer agree to treat all payments
made under this Section 2.5 as adjustments to the Purchase Price. 

Section 2.6    Excluded Assets. As of the Closing Date, to the extent not already owned by the
Sellers, the Company hereby distributes, conveys, transfers and delivers to the Sellers, and the Sellers hereby purchase and acquire from the Company, all right, title, and interest in and to the assets set forth on Schedule 2.6 (the
“Excluded Assets”). 

  
 14 








 Section 2.7    No
Section 338(h)(10) Election. Buyer and Sellers shall not make an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under applicable state, local or foreign Tax law) with
respect to the acquisition of the Shares hereunder (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). Buyer and Sellers shall file all Tax Returns consistent with not making such Section 338(h)(10) Election.

Software”). To the extent that any Company-

  
 29

valid and enforceable agreement with such employee or Person assigning all of such Person’s rights in and to such Company-Owned Software (copies of which have been made available to Buyer) and thereby has obtained exclusive ownership of all
Intellectual Property in such Company-Owned Software by operation of law or by valid assignment. None of the source code owned or purported to be owned by any of the Company Entities has been published, disclosed or put into escrow by the Company

 Section 4.18    Employee Benefits. 

(a)    Set forth on Schedule 4.18(a) is a true, complete and correct list of all “employee benefit plans,”

insurance, disability, group insurance, vacation, holiday, sick leave, fringe benefit or welfare plan or any other similar plan, agreement, policy or understanding (whether oral or written, qualified or
non-qualified), including deferred compensation arrangements that are referenced in an employment agreement, and any trust, escrow or other funding arrangement related thereto (collectively, the
“Benefit Plans”), (i) which is maintained or contributed to, for or on behalf of the current or former employees of the Company, any ERISA Affiliate thereof or any other individuals who provide or have provided services to the
Company or any ERISA Affiliate thereof; (ii) with respect to which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate thereof has any expense, liability or obligation to or with respect to any current or former officer, director, employee, service provider or
the dependents or beneficiaries thereof, regardless of whether funded; or (iii) with respect to any employee pension benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA), which is sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Company or any
ERISA Affiliate thereof or that benefits any current or former employee or service provider of the Company or to which the Company is a party or has any expense, liability or obligation. Neither Company, any ERISA Affiliate thereof, nor any other
Person has announced any plan or made any commitment to create or enter into any additional plan, arrangement, agreement or policy which would constitute a Benefit Plan if in existence on the date hereof or to amend or modify any existing Benefit
Plan. 
 (b)    Except as set forth on Schedule 4.18(b), each Benefit Plan has been established, maintained and
administered in accordance with its terms and is in compliance with all applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code. Each Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a timely favorable
determination or opinion letter from the IRS as to its qualified status, or is maintained pursuant to a volume submitter or prototype document for which a favorable IRS opinion or advisory letter has been issued which may be properly relied upon by
the respective Benefit Plan. All contributions to, and payments from, each Benefit Plan that are required to be made in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof and applicable Laws (including ERISA and the Code) have been timely made. 

(c)    Except as set forth on Schedule 4.18(c), neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate thereof maintains,
contributes to, is required to contribute to, or has any liability with respect to (i) any defined benefit pension plan or any plan, program or arrangement subject to Title IV of ERISA, Section 302 or 303 of ERISA or Sections 412 or 436 of
the Code, (ii) any 

  
 30 








 
Multiemployer Plan (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA), (iii) any Multiple Employer Plan (as defined in Section 413(c) of the Code), or (iv) any Multiple Employer Welfare
Arrangement (as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA) and neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate thereof has maintained, contributed to, been required to contribute to, or had any liability with respect to any plan described in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv) above within the last six (6) years prior to the date of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 4.18, an “ERISA Affiliate” is any entity that is considered a single
employer with the Company under Section 414 of the Code. 
 (d)    Neither any Benefit Plan nor the Company or any
ERISA Affiliate thereof provides or has an obligation to provide medical, life insurance or other welfare benefits to any individual (other than to beneficiaries and dependents of active employees) at a time when he or she is not an employee of the
Company or any ERISA Affiliate thereof (other than as required under Section 4980B of the Code or any similar Law). Each “group health plan” (within the meaning of Code section 5000(b)(1)) maintained by the Company is in compliance in
all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), all documents are in compliance in all material respects with current ACA requirements, and there exists no basis upon which the Company
would reasonably be expected to be subject to any fine or penalty under the ACA. 
 (e)    Each funded Benefit Plan that
is a welfare plan as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, the benefits under which are not provided exclusively from the assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate of the Company or through insurance contracts, is qualified under
Section 501(c)(9) or Section 501(c)(17) of the Code; and the trusts maintained in connection with all such Benefit Plans are exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. All Benefit Plan assets that are not held by a regulated
insurance company are invested in a separate trust, or in a trust with one or more other similar plans under which the assets of each plan are separately accounted for and available only to provide benefits to employees and beneficiaries covered
under the Benefit Plan and to pay allocable administrative expenses. Each insurance contract through which benefits under a Benefit Plan are provided provides benefits only for employees and dependents covered under the Benefit Plan. Each Benefit
Plan is maintained by Company or any ERISA Affiliate of Company under a plan document which does not provide for other participating employers except for Company or any ERISA Affiliate of Company; and no Benefit Plan provides or has provided credit
with respect to service other than with Company or any ERISA Affiliate of Company. 
 (f)    The Sellers have made
available to Buyer with respect to each Benefit Plan, where applicable, true, complete and correct copies of (i) the current plan document and amendments thereto (including all insurance contracts, evidences of coverage and other related
documents); (ii) the current trust agreement or other funding arrangements (including insurance policies) and amendments thereto; (iii) the three (3) most recent Form 5500 annual reports; (iv) the most recent summary plan description
and summaries of any material modification thereto; (v) all material correspondence with the IRS, Department of Labor and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation regarding any Benefit Plan; (vi) all discrimination testing for each Benefit
Plan for the three (3) most recent plan years; (vii) the most recent determination or opinion letter received from the IRS regarding the Benefit Plans; (viii) the latest financial statements for the Benefit Plans; (ix) the
testing results showing compliance with Section 409(p) of the Code; (x) the most recent actuarial valuations, if applicable, and latest financial statement for each of the Benefits Plans; and (xi) any other material documents related
to a Benefit Plan. 
 (g)    Except as set forth on Schedule 4.18(g), there is no pending or, to the Knowledge of
the Company, threatened, Proceeding relating to a Benefit Plan (other than routine 

  
 31 








 
claims for benefits) or under workers’ compensation Law, and no Benefit Plan has within the three (3) years prior to the date hereof been the subject of an examination or audit by any
Governmental Authority or the subject of an application or filing under or is a participant in or considering being a participant in, an amnesty, voluntary compliance, self-correction or similar program sponsored by any Governmental Authority
(including the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System, the Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program or the Delinquent Filers Voluntary Correction Program). The Seller has properly classified individuals providing services as independent
contractors or employees, as the case may be. 
 (h)    Except as set forth on Schedule 4.18(h), none of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance by any Party of its obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions (alone or in conjunction with any other event, including any termination of employment on or following the
Closing Date) will (i) entitle any employee, director or other individual providing services to the Company to any compensation or benefit, (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or trigger any payment or funding, of any
compensation or benefit or trigger any other obligation under any Benefit Plan, or (iii) result in any breach or violation of, or default under, or limit the Company’s right to amend, modify or terminate any Benefit Plan. 

(i)    No Benefit Plan has engaged in any non-exempt “prohibited
transaction” (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code). No fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA) of any Benefit Plan subject to Part 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA has
committed a breach of fiduciary duty. The Company has not, nor to the Knowledge of the Company, has any other Person, engaged in any transaction with respect to any Benefit Plan that would be reasonably likely to subject the Company to any Tax or
penalty (civil or otherwise) imposed by ERISA, the Code or other applicable Law. Any transaction to which the ESOP was at any time a party involving the purchase, sale or exchange of any security complied with the applicable requirements of ERISA
and the Code, including Section 3(18) of ERISA. The sale of the ESOP Shares to Buyer and execution and performance of this Agreement do not create liability with respect to any prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of
ERISA or Section 4975. 
 (j)    Each Benefit Plan that constitutes in any part a “nonqualified deferred
compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and that is subject to Section 409A of the Code has been operated and maintained in all respects in operational and documentary compliance with Section 409A of the
Code and applicable guidance thereunder during the respective time periods in which such operational or documentary compliance has been required. No Benefit Plan or individual agreement with any employee or service provider of Seller or the Company
provides for any actual or potential obligation to reimburse or otherwise “gross up” any Person for the interest or additional tax set forth under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or otherwise. The Company is not a party to any
agreement that would require the Company to make any payment that would constitute an “excess parachute payment” for purposes of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. 

(k)    As of the Closing, the ESOP has been terminated by the Company, and except as set forth on Schedule 4.18(k),
neither the ESOP nor the Company is subject to any claims in respect of the ESOP, except for payment of benefits and expenses payable in the sale of the ESOP Shares and the ordinary course of the administration and winding up of the ESOP. 

(l)    The ESOP Shares constitute “employer securities,” as defined in Code Sec. 409(l), and “qualifying
employer securities”, as defined in Section 407(d)(5) of ERISA. Each 

  
 32 








 
purchase and sale of ESOP Shares to or from the ESOP was determined to be in the best interests of, and fair from a financial point of view to, the participants and beneficiaries in the ESOP,
including upon the establishment of the ESOP. At each time ESOP Shares were purchased, the valuation of such shares was performed by an independent appraiser within the meaning of Section 401(a)(28)(C) of the Code. Any transaction to which the
ESOP was at any time a party involving the purchase, sale or exchange of any security complied with the applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code, including Section 3(18) of ERISA. The sale of the ESOP Shares to Buyer and execution and
performance of this Agreement do not create liability with respect to any prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975. 

(m)    The ESOP complies and has always complied in all respects with Section 409(p) of the Code, and neither the
Company nor any participant in the ESOP is or may be subject to liability by reason of Section 4979A of the Code. There are no items that would be considered “synthetic equity” as defined in Section 409(p)(6)(C) of the Code or
under the regulations issued thereunder. No Company stock has been allocated to a “disqualified person” (as that term is defined in Section 409(p)(4) of the Code) in a “nonallocation year” (as that term is defined in
Section 409(p)(3) of the Code), and there has never been an “a “nonallocation year” for the ESOP. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.18(m), there are no documents that provide for indemnification of the fiduciaries of the
ESOP or such fiduciaries’ financial advisors in connection with any transactions involving the ESOP. 

(n)    There are no pending elections by any participant in the ESOP to receive distributions from the ESOP in the form of
securities of the Company. 
 (o)    Neither the terms of the ESOP nor any provision of ERISA, the Code or any
applicable legal requirement requires that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be approved by the vote of the participants in the ESOP as to Company stock allocated to their accounts or otherwise. 

(p)    The Company is not a party to any agreement that would require the Company to make any payment that would
constitute an “excess parachute payment” for purposes of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. 

Section 4.19    Labor Matters. 

(a)    Schedule 4.19(a) sets forth a true and complete list of the following information (to the extent applicable)
with respect to each employee of the Company Entities, including each employee on leave of absence or layoff status: (i) name; (ii) title or position (including whether full or part time); (iii) hire date; (iv) current annual base salary
rate or current hourly wage rate; (v) commission, bonus or other incentive-based compensation; (vi) accrued, unused paid-time off; (vii) leave status; (viii) exempt or non-exempt status
regarding the application of federal and state wage and hour Laws; and (ix) a description of the fringe benefits provided to each such individual as of the date hereof. No Person will have any claim for severance pay as a result of this
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (b)    There is no collective bargaining
agreement in effect or currently being negotiated between any of the Company Entities and any labor unions or organizations representing any of the employees of the Company Entities. The Company Entities have not experienced any threatened or actual
organized slowdown, work interruption, strike, work stoppage or material labor dispute by its employees and, to the Knowledge of the Company, there is no strike, labor dispute or union organization activity pending or threatened involving employees
of the Company Entities. 

  
 33 








 (c)    The Company Entities are, and since January 1, 2013, have been,
in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws regarding employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, wages and hours, anti-discrimination, work authorization and occupational health and safety, including
Laws concerning unfair labor practices within the meaning of Section 8 of the National Labor Relations Act. All individuals who are performing consulting or other services for the Company Entities are correctly classified as either
“independent contractors” or “employees,” as the case may be. There is no Proceeding brought by or on behalf of any employee or former employee of the Company Entities under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, the Family and Medical Leave Act or any other Law pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, against any of the Company Entities.

“WARN Act”), and there has been no “employment loss” as defined by the WARN Act within the ninety (90) days prior to the Closing Date. No notice shall be required under the WARN Act or any similar applicable Law in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)    None of the Company Entities or any Seller has disposed of or Released any Contaminant on the Leased Property so as
to give rise to any liabilities or investigatory, corrective or remedial obligations under any Environmental Laws. 

Section 4.22    Insurance. Schedule 4.22 sets forth a true, correct and

Company Entities are otherwise in compliance in all material respects with the terms of such policies applicable to them. To the Knowledge of the Company, there is no threatened termination of, or material premium increase (other than increases that

(a)    Sellers will prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns for the Company and each of the Subsidiaries for all
taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date but which are filed after the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Laws, and to the extent not inconsistent with applicable Laws, the past practices of
the Company and the Subsidiaries, as applicable, in preparing Tax Returns. Sellers will provide Buyer with copies of any such Tax Returns for Buyer’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof, giving effect
to any extensions thereto (or, in the case of Tax Returns other than with respect to Income Taxes, a reasonably practicable amount of time, which shall not be less than three (3) Business Days prior to the due date thereof, giving effect to any
extensions thereto), and Sellers shall incorporate any such reasonable comments into such Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns of the Company for any Straddle Periods. Buyer will provide Sellers with copies of any
such Tax Returns for Sellers’ review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof, giving effect to any extensions thereto (or, in the case of Tax Returns other than with respect to Income Taxes, a reasonably
practicable amount of time, which shall not be less than three (3) Business Days prior to the due date thereof, giving effect to any extensions thereto), and Buyer will consider any such comments in good faith. 

(b)    Any Transfer Taxes shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by the Merrell Trust. Buyer
and Sellers shall cooperate in preparing, executing and filing all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including, for instance, the delivery
of resale certificates) to minimize the occurrence of Transfer Taxes and any associated Tax Return (or other documentation) filing requirements in connection therewith. 

(c)    After the Closing, the Parties shall cooperate with each other by furnishing any additional information and
executing and delivering any additional documents as may be reasonably requested by such Parties in their preparation of any Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries. Such cooperation shall
include access during normal business hours afforded to the Parties and their respective agents and Representatives to, and reasonable retention by such Parties of, Tax records related to the Company and the Subsidiaries. 

(d)    For purposes of this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of the Company for a
Straddle Period, the determination of the Taxes of the Company for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle
Period consisted of two (2) taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date, and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit, and
state and local apportionment factors of the Company for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the Company were closed at the close
of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, and (ii) periodic Taxes such as real and personal property Taxes shall be
apportioned ratably between such periods on a daily basis. 

  
 40 








 (e)    For Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the

respective Affiliates and Representatives to, hold in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning Buyer, the Company or the Business, except to the extent that the Sellers or the Principals can show that such information
(i) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of the Sellers, the Principals, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives; or (ii) is lawfully acquired by the Sellers, the Principals, or any of their
respective Affiliates or Representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If the Sellers, the Principals, or any of their respective
Affiliates or Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, such Parties shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such
information which such Parties are advised by their counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed; provided that the Sellers or the Principals shall use best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable
assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information. 
 (b)    Public Announcement. Except as
required by Law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange, no Party will issue any report, statement or release to the public with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written approval of the other
Parties hereto. 
 Section 6.8    Restrictive Covenants. In consideration of the
Purchase Price received by the Sellers under this Agreement, the Merrell Trust and the Principals hereby covenant and agree as follows: 

(a)    During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the six (6) year anniversary of the Closing
Date (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Merrell Trust nor any Principal shall, directly or indirectly, do any of the following: 

(i)    engage or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, be employed by, render services or advice or other
aid to, or be connected or associated with in any capacity, including without limitation as an individual, partner, shareholder, manager, officer, director, employee, principal, agent, consultant, advisor, developer or trustee, any Person or
enterprise that engages in, or plans to become engaged in, any Competing Business within the Covered Area;

period ending on the Closing Date, a customer, supplier or business relation of the Company Entities or the Business to cease doing business with Buyer, the Company Entities or Business or any of their respective successors or Affiliates, in any way
interfere with the relationship between or among Buyer, the Company Entities, the Business or any of their respective successors or Affiliates and any such customer, supplier or business relation, or solicit the business of any such customer,
supplier or business relation for any Competing Business. 

  
 41 








 (b)    During the Restricted Period, neither the Merrell Trust nor any
Principal shall, directly or indirectly or by assisting others, induce or solicit, or attempt to induce or solicit, any employee or independent contractor of Buyer, the Company Entities, the Business or any of their respective successors or
Affiliates who was an employee or independent contractor of the Company Entities or the Business at any time during the two (2) year period ending on the Closing Date to leave the employ or service of Buyer, the Company Entities, the Business
or any of their respective successors or Affiliates, in any way interfere with the relationship between or among Buyer, the Company Entities, the Business or any of their respective successors or Affiliates and any such employee or independent
contractor, or solicit, offer employment to, otherwise attempt to hire, employ or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, any such employee or independent contractor. 

(c)    As used herein, the term “Competing Business” shall mean the business of providing:
(i) hospice care and skilled health services and (ii) home care and unskilled home health services. As used herein, the term “Covered Area” shall mean the States of New Mexico. 

(d)    The Company, the Merrell Trust, and each Principal acknowledge and agree that: (i) the duration, scope and
geographic area of the covenants contained in this Section 6.8 are fair, reasonable and necessary in order to protect the goodwill and legitimate business interests of the Company and Buyer and to prevent any unfair
advantage conferred upon the Merrell Trust or the Principals; (ii) that adequate consideration has been received by the Merrell Trust and the Principals for such obligations, and that these obligations do not prevent the Merrell Trust or the
Principals from earning a livelihood; (iii) Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement or made the payments to the Merrell Trust hereunder unless the Merrell Trust and the Principals agreed to be subject to all of the restrictions set
forth in this Section 6.8; and (iv) the Merrell Trust and the Principals have been represented by counsel of their choosing in the negotiation of this Agreement, including this Section 6.8,
and that the Merrell Trust and the Principals are voluntarily agreeing to this Section 6.8. If, however, any of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.8 are held to be invalid or unenforceable,
the remainder of such covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any of the restrictive covenants, or any part
thereof, are unenforceable because of the duration of such provision, the geographical area covered thereby, or any other determination of unreasonableness of the provision, the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the
duration, area or scope of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. 

(e)    In the event of a breach by the Merrell Trust or any Principal of any covenant set forth in this
Section 6.8, the Restricted Period with respect to the Merrell Trust or such Principal, as applicable, will be extended by the period of the duration of such breach. 

(f)    The Company, the Merrell Trust, and each Principal acknowledge that a breach by such Party of any of the covenants
set forth in Section 6.8 of this Agreement cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law, and that Buyer will be entitled to, among other remedies, and without posting any bond or other
undertaking, injunctive relief, which may include, but will not be limited to: (i) restraining such Party from engaging in any action that would constitute or cause a breach or violation of this Section 6.8, (ii)
obtaining specific performance to compel such Party to perform his or its obligations and covenants hereunder, and (iii) obtaining damages available either at law or in equity.

prior to the Closing Date, which the Releasors can, shall or may have against the Released Parties, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, unanticipated as well as anticipated (collectively, the “Claims”), and hereby
irrevocably agree to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Claim or demand or commencing (or causing to be commenced) any suit, action or Proceeding of any kind, in any court or before any tribunal, against any Released Party based

(c)    For the purpose of implementing a full and complete release of Claims, each Seller and Principal understands and
agrees that the release in this Section 6.9 is intended to include all Claims, if any, which such Party may have or which such Party does not now know or suspect to exist in such Party’s favor against Buyer and/or any
of the Released Parties, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.9(a). By signing this Agreement, each Seller and Principal hereby discharges and extinguishes those Claims, subject to the limitations set forth in

or investigation (such as reinstatement or monetary damages) hereby are barred.

represents that such Party has not filed any action, complaint, charge, grievance or arbitration against any of the Released Parties.

 (d)    Closing Deliveries. Buyer must have caused the documents and
instruments required by Section 3.2(b) to be delivered (or tendered subject only to Closing) to the Sellers. 

Section 7.3    Frustration of Closing Conditions. Neither Party may rely on

ARTICLE VIII 

INDEMNIFICATION 

Section 8.1    Indemnification by the Merrell Trust and Principals. 

(a)    Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, the Merrell Trust and the Principals shall,
jointly and severally, indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its officers, directors, managers, shareholders, members, employees, agents and Affiliates (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) from and
against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, obligations, amounts paid in settlement, claims, demands, judgments, damages, fines, suits, actions, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively,
“Losses”) incurred by them arising from or in connection with: 
 (i)    any breach or inaccuracy of
any representation or warranty of any Seller contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including any breach of any such representation or warranty alleged by a third party; 

(ii)    any breach of or failure to perform any covenant or obligation of any Seller or Principal contained in this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document; 
 (iii)    any Closing Liabilities, Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness
not deducted in calculating the Cash Payment;

to Section 6.6(d)); (B) any Taxes of any Seller for any taxable period; (C) any Transfer Taxes for which Sellers are liable pursuant to Section 6.6(b); (D) the lost
benefit of any credit, deduction or loss for Tax purposes which would have been available to reduce or otherwise offset Taxes of Buyer or any Affiliate thereof but for a breach of any representation or warranty made in
Section 4.9; (E) any Taxes arising by reason of the Company or any Subsidiary being a member of any “affiliated group” (within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code) on or prior to the Closing Date,
including pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6(a) (or any predecessor or successor thereof or any analogous or similar provision of state, local or
non-U.S. Law); and (F) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company or the Subsidiaries) imposed on the Company or any Subsidiary as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any
Laws, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing; and

Schedule 8.1. 

  
 48 








 (b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Merrell Trust and the
Principals’ obligations to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person for Losses incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Person under Section 8.1(a)(i) are subject to the following limitations: 

(i)    the Merrell Trust and the Principals’ indemnity obligations shall not accrue until the aggregate amount of
Losses exceeds One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the “Basket”) (at which point it being understood that the Merrell Trust and Principals shall be liable for the full amount of the Losses, including the Basket amount);

 (ii)    the aggregate amount required to be paid or indemnified by both the Merrell Trust and the Principals shall
not exceed the Escrow Amount (the “Cap”); and 
 (iii)    notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the
Basket nor the Cap shall apply to claims (A) for breaches of Section 4.1 (Organization and Good Standing), Section 4.2 (Authorization, Validity and Effect of Agreement),
Section 4.3 (No Conflicts; Consents), Section 4.4 (Capitalization), Section 4.7 (No Undisclosed Liabilities), Section 4.9 (Taxes),
Section 4.11 (Compliance with Laws), Section 4.12 (Health Care Regulatory Matters), Section 4.18 (Employee Benefits), and Section 4.26 (Brokers)
(collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), (B) for any fraud; provided, however, that the aggregate amount required to be paid for all claims for breaches of this Agreement other than for claims arising out of or related to
fraud shall not exceed the Purchase Price; or (C) for any Losses arising from or in connection with the Specified Matter. 

(c)    The indemnification provided for in Section 8.1(a)(i) shall terminate on the Escrow
Release Date (and no claims shall be made by Buyer under Section 8.1(a)(i) thereafter), provided that the indemnification provided for in Section 8.1(a)(i) as it relates to claims for
breaches of the Fundamental Representations shall terminate upon the expiration of the statute of limitations related thereto. The indemnification by the Merrell Trust and the Principals shall continue as to any Losses of which a Buyer Indemnified
Person has given a Claim Notice to the Merrell Trust and the Principals on or prior to the date such indemnification would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 8.1(c), as to which the obligation of the
Merrell Trust and the Principals shall continue solely with respect to the specific matters in such Claim Notice until the liability of the Merrell Trust and the Principals shall have been determined pursuant to this Article VIII, and the
Merrell Trust and the Principals shall have reimbursed the Buyer Indemnified Persons for the full amount of such Losses that are payable with respect to such Claim Notice in accordance with this Article VIII. 

(d)    It is understood and agreed by the Parties that any Losses payable by the Merrell Trust or the Principals pursuant
to this Article VIII shall first be paid out of the Escrow Amount to the extent funds are available therefor. 

(e)    The Parties agree that, with the exception of breaches of the covenants set forth in Sections 6.7 or
6.8, equitable remedies, and fraud, Buyer’s exclusive remedy for any and all Losses incurred by Buyer in connection with or arising from any of the items listed in Section 8.1(a)(i) through and including
(v) is the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. 
 (f)    Only for purposes of
determining the amount of any Loss under this Article VIII, any representation or warranty made by the Sellers that is qualified in scope as to materiality (including material adverse effect) shall be deemed to be made or given without such
qualification. 

  
 49 








 (g)    The Merrell Trust and the Principals agree that if Buyer Indemnified
Persons are entitled to indemnity, reimbursement of Losses or defense under Schedule 8.1(a)(v) with respect to Item No. 1 on Schedule 8.1 (the “ESOP Indemnity”), the Merrell Trust and the Principals, in their
individual capacities or in their capacities as trustees of the ESOP, shall not be entitled to indemnification by the Company, the Buyer or the ESOP under any agreement by and between one or more of the parties, including by not limited to the
document or documents set forth on Schedule 4.18(m). 

Section 8.2    Indemnification by Buyer. 

(a)    Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Sellers and their respective officers, directors, managers, shareholders, members, employees, agents and Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by them arising
from or in connection with: 
 (i)    the breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document; and 
 (ii)    the breach of any covenant or obligation of Buyer contained in this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document. 
 (b)    The indemnification provided for in
Section 8.2(a)(i) shall terminate on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date (and no claims shall be made by any Seller Indemnified Person under Section 8.2(a)(i) thereafter),
provided that the indemnification provided for in Section 8.2(a)(i) as it relates to Section 5.2 (Authorization, Validity and Effect of Agreement) shall terminate upon the expiration of the statute
of limitations related thereto. The indemnification by Buyer shall continue as to any Losses of which any Seller Indemnified Person has validly given a Claim Notice to Buyer in accordance with the requirements of
Section 8.3 on or prior to the date such indemnification would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 8.2(b), as to which the obligation of Buyer shall continue solely with respect to
the specific matters in such Claim Notice until the liability of Buyer shall have been determined pursuant to this Article VIII, and Buyer shall have reimbursed the Seller Indemnified Persons for the full amount of such Losses that are
payable with respect to such Claim Notice in accordance with this Article VIII. 

Section 8.3    Notice of Claims. Any Person seeking or intending to seek
indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give promptly to the Party or Parties obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (each, the “Indemnifying Party”) a written notice (a
“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and, to the extent reasonably ascertainable, a good faith estimate of the dollar amount of such claim. The failure to
give a Claim Notice as provided in this Section 8.3 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. 

Section 8.4    Resolution of Indemnifiable Claims. After the giving of any
Claim Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article VIII shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction after all appeals have been adjudicated or the time periods to file appeals have expired; or (iii) by any other means
to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall 

  
 50 








 
agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been
finally determined. Once a Loss is payable pursuant to this Section 8.4, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the
Indemnified Party; provided that, in the event that Sellers are required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person, such payment shall be satisfied according to the following priority of recourse: (A) first, by withdrawals of the Escrow
Amount in accordance with Section 2.4 and the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, (B) second, after the Escrow Amount has been reduced to zero (0), by the Sellers, jointly and severally. 

Section 8.5    Third Party Claims. Any Indemnified Party seeking or intending to seek indemnification
under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving any claim, action, demand or Proceeding made by any Person who is not a Party or Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”) against the Indemnified Party shall promptly
give a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party with respect to the Third Party Claim. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party, after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices,
pleadings, demands and documents received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates or Representatives relating to the Third Party Claim. The failure to give notice and information as provided in this Section 8.5 shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. 

ARTICLE IX 
 TERMINATION

 Section 9.1    Termination. By written notice given prior to the Closing, subject to
Section 10.2, this Agreement may be terminated as follows: 
 (a)    by the mutual written
consent of the Sellers and Buyer; 
 (b)    by Buyer or the Sellers upon written notice to the other, if the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement have not been consummated on or prior to September 30, 2018 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the termination rights under this
Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose material breach of this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated by such
time. 
 (c)    by either Buyer or the Sellers, upon written notice to the other, if a Court or Governmental Authority
shall have issued an Order or taken any other action that is final and non-appealable and that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) is not available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in or causes such Order or
other action or such party is not in compliance with its obligations under Section 6.11; 

(d)    by Buyer, if Buyer is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, if (i) the Sellers, the
Principals, or any of the Company Entities have breached or failed to perform any of their covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement to be complied with by them such that the closing condition set forth in
Section 7.1(b) would not be satisfied or (ii) there exists a breach of any representation or warranty of the Sellers or the Company Entities contained in this Agreement such that the closing condition set forth in
Section 7.1(a) would not be 

  
 51 








 
satisfied, and in the case of both (i) and (ii) above, such breach or failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Sellers or the Principals of written
notice thereof or is incapable of being cured by the Sellers or the Principals by the End Date; or 
 (e)    by the
Sellers, if none of the Company Entities or the Sellers are in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, if (i) Buyer has breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement to be
complied with by Buyer such that the closing condition set forth in Section 7.2(b) would not be satisfied or (ii) there exists a breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement such
that the closing condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) would not be satisfied, and in the case of both (i) and (ii) above, such breach or failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by
Buyer of written notice thereof or is incapable of being cured by Buyer by the End Date 

Section 9.2    Effect of Termination. Each Party’s right of termination under
Section 9.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of such right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 9.1, all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Section 6.7, this Article IX and Article X will survive;
provided, however, that termination of this Agreement will not preclude a Party from bringing a claim against the other Party hereto for a breach arising prior to such termination pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 ARTICLE X 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS 
 Section 10.1    Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, whether or not the
Closing occurs, each Party will pay all fees and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its
counsel, financial advisors and accountants. For the avoidance of doubt, all expenses incurred by the Sellers or the Company in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be the obligation of the Sellers (jointly
and severally), and not the obligation of the Company or Buyer. 
 Section 10.2    Notices. All
notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by
the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (return receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or email of a .pdf document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient,

Section 10.3    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and shall supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement, and the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), this
Agreement shall control. 
 Section 10.4    Interpretation. For purposes of this
Agreement: (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation;” (b) the 

  
 53 








 
word “or” is not exclusive; and (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a
whole. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (i) to Articles, Sections, Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (ii) to an
agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof; and (iii) to a statute means such statute as
amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the
drafting Party. The Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. 

Section 10.5    Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only by a written
instrument duly executed by Buyer and the Sellers. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver must be in writing and must be duly executed by such Party. All rights
and remedies of the Parties hereto are cumulative and not alternative. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents will operate as a waiver of such right, power
or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver on one occasion
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the same or any other breach, provision or requirement on any other occasion. 

Section 10.6    Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any right hereunder or part hereof may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties
hereto, except that Buyer may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of Buyer without the prior written consent of the Sellers, provided that no such assignment will relieve Buyer from any of its obligations hereunder.

 Section 10.7    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole
benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature
whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.8    Exhibits and
Disclosure Schedules. All Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules or other documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement.
Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any section or paragraph of the Schedules is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or
lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, or are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any
dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any section or paragraph of the Schedules is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement, or is or is not in the
ordinary course of business. 
 Section 10.9    Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice 

  
 54 








 
of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or otherwise) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
Each Party hereby irrevocably submits in any suit, action or Proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware,
and irrevocably waives any immunity from the jurisdiction of such courts and any claim of improper venue, forum non conveniens or any similar objection which it might otherwise be entitled to raise in any such suit, action or Proceeding. 

Section 10.10    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES
HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT
ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO
THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 
 Section 10.11    Remedies. 

(a)    The Parties recognize and agree that if for any reason any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, immediate and irreparable harm or damage would be caused for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, it is hereby agreed that the Parties hereto shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which a Party is entitled at
law or in equity, and the Parties hereby waive any requirement for the posting of bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other
equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in
equity. 
 (b)    In the event of any controversy, claim or action being filed or instituted between the Parties to
enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or arising from the breach of any provision hereof or in connection with the indemnity provisions contained herein, the prevailing Party in any final
non-appealable action shall receive from the other Party or Parties all costs, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including, but not limited to, fees on appeal), incurred by the
prevailing Party. 
 Section 10.12    Severability. If any term or provision of
this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the
transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to the Parties. Upon such determination that any term or provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties


  
 55 








 
hereto shall negotiate in good faith to amend or otherwise modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner such
that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible. 

Section 10.13    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission shall be
deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
