Consideration applicable to the shares of Company Stock represented by the Certificates.

(c) At or following the Effective Time, and upon
surrender of a Certificate representing Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Class A Common Stock or Common Stock to Parent for cancellation, together with a letter of transmittal properly completed and duly executed, and such
other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, Parent shall pay to the holder of such Certificate, as applicable:

(i) the Series A Per Share Closing Cash (as defined in Section 11.6) for each share of Series A Preferred Stock represented by such Certificate;

(ii) the Series B Merger Price Per Share (as defined in Section 11.6) for each share of Series B Preferred Stock

---

(iii) the Common Per Share Closing Cash (as defined in Section 11.6)
for each share of Class A Common Stock or each share of Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

Any Certificate duly surrendered under this
Section 3.1(c)shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any of the Total Merger Consideration payable to holders of the Certificates.

(d) Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 3.1, each such Certificate (other than Certificates representing shares of
Common Stock to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 3.4(a))) shall represent solely the right to receive the Total Merger Consideration relating thereto
(subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat, and similar laws). If the Total Merger Consideration relating thereto (or any portion thereof) is to be delivered to any person other than the person in whose name the Certificate surrendered
therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to such right to receive such Total Merger Consideration relating thereto that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the person
surrendering such Certificate shall pay to Parent any Transfer Taxes (as defined in Section 7.6) or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of any portion of the Total Merger Consideration to a person other than the
registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(e) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter, there shall be no further registration or transfers of shares of Company Stock on the stock transfer books of the
Surviving Corporation of any shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Stock presented to the Surviving Corporation
or Parent shall be surrendered and canceled in return for the payment of the Total Merger Consideration relating thereto, as provided in this Article III.

(f) None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Equity Holders Representative or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be
liable to any person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(g) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making and delivery of an affidavit of that fact and an indemnity in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent by the person claiming such Certificate to
be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent in its discretion from any holder of more than five percent (5%) of the capital stock of the Company (on an as-if-converted to Common Stock basis), a bond in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Parent, Parent will issue the applicable Total Merger Consideration in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate in accordance with this Article III.

(h) If Parent is required to make a payment pursuant to Section 3.8(e), Parent shall promptly distribute all such amounts to the
Equity Holders (other than holders of the Series B Preferred Stock) pro rata in the proportion that the amount of the Closing Cash Merger Consideration received by each of them bears to the Closing Cash Merger Consideration received by all of such
Equity Holders in the aggregate.

---

(i) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Total Merger
Consideration or other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Equity Holder such amounts as Parent or the Surviving Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision
of United States federal, state or local Tax laws, and shall instead pay such amount to the applicable Governmental Authority. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, such amounts withheld shall be treated
for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Equity Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent or the Surviving Corporation.

Section 3.2. Options.

(a)
Vested Options. Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have made a determination pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Plan (as defined in Section 4.2(a)) to pay cash in retirement of all
vested Options (as defined in Section 4.2(a)) that are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (each such vested Option, a Vested Option, and each holder of a Vested Option,
individually, an Optionholder and, collectively, the Optionholders) in accordance with this Section 3.2. At the Effective Time, the Company shall pay to each holder of a Vested Option that is
outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time an amount of cash for each share of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of such Vested Option equal to the amount payable pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Plan, which shall
be (i) the Common Per Share Closing Cash less (ii) the exercise price of such Vested Option less (iii) any required employment and other withholding Taxes applicable or relating to the exercise of, or any other action
relating to, such Vested Options. Each Optionholder shall thereafter be entitled to receive in respect of each such share of Common Stock any additional amounts of Common Stock Merger Price Per Share payable in respect of shares of Common Stock
hereunder when, as and if paid pursuant to the terms hereof less any required employment and other withholding Taxes applicable or relating to the exercise of, or any other action relating to, such Vested Options.

(b) Unvested Options. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall have taken all actions necessary such that, as of the Effective Time, no
unvested Options will be outstanding, and no agreements with respect to any such unvested Options will be binding on the Company.

(c)
Treatment as Compensation. All consideration to be received by the Optionholders pursuant to this Section 3.2 (as well as any amounts paid to the Optionholders under Sections 3.8,7.6,9.2 and/or pursuant to the Escrow Agreement or the Equity Holders Agreement) shall be treated as compensation by the Company and shall be net of any applicable Taxes.

Section 3.3. Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall have provided notice to the Warrantholders (as defined below) of the
Merger and this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Warrant (as defined below), and the Warrantholders shall have elected to receive the Common Per Share Closing Cash less the applicable exercise price of such Warrants in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. At the Effective Time, the Company shall pay



6



---

to each holder of a warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (each such warrant, a Warrant, and
each holder of a Warrant, individually, a Warrantholder and, collectively, the Warrantholders) an amount of cash for each share of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of such Warrant (each such share, a
Warrant Share) equal to (i) the Common Per Share Closing Cash less (ii) the exercise price of such Warrant. Each Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to receive in respect of each such share of Common Stock
any additional amounts of Common Stock Merger Price Per Share payable in respect of shares of Common Stock hereunder when, as and if paid pursuant to the terms hereof. In consideration of receiving the Common Stock Merger Price Per Share in
accordance with this Agreement, each Warrantholder shall have entered into agreements with the Company canceling and terminating the Warrants.

Section 3.4. Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company
Stock (collectively, the Dissenting Shares) that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of the Company who have not executed the Written Consent (as defined in
Section 7.1(a)) and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the Appraisal Rights Provisions) will not be converted as described in
Section 2.1, but will thereafter constitute only the right to receive payment of the fair value of such shares of Company Stock in accordance with the Appraisal Rights Provisions; provided, however, that all shares of Company
Stock held by Equity Holders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Stock under the Appraisal Rights Provisions shall thereupon be deemed to have been
canceled and to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Total Merger Consideration, without interest, in the manner provided in Sections 2.1 and 3.1.
Persons who have perfected statutory rights with respect to Dissenting Shares as aforesaid will not be paid by the Surviving Corporation as provided in this Agreement and will have only such rights as are provided by the Appraisal Rights Provisions
with respect to such Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent and MergerCo prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for the exercise of appraisal rights with respect to shares of Company Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and

be necessary to facilitate such repayment and to facilitate the release, in connection with such repayment, of any mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, encumbrances, claims, charges, conditional sale agreements and restrictions of any kind
or character (collectively, Encumbrances) securing such Indebtedness and the delivery of payoff letters to Parent or Parents lenders.

Section 3.6. Payments at Closing for Expenses. As of the Closing Date, Parent and MergerCo shall provide sufficient funds to the Surviving Corporation to enable the Surviving Corporation to pay all
outstanding fees and expenses of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries in connection with the negotiation and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that have not been paid on or prior to the Closing Date (the

Section 3.7. Estimated Working Capital Adjustment; EBITDA Adjustment Amount.

(a) At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent and MergerCo a good faith
estimate of the Companys Net Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the Companys Estimated Working Capital), together with supporting documentation for such estimate and any additional
information relating thereto reasonably requested by Parent or MergerCo. Parent and its accountants and advisors shall be given full access to all of the Companys and its Subsidiaries books and records for purposes of evaluating the
accuracy and completeness of the Companys Estimated Working Capital. If Parent believes, in good faith, that the Companys Estimated Working Capital is in error, Parent may challenge the amount of the Companys Estimated Working
Capital within six (6) Business Days following delivery by delivering a written notice of disagreement to the Company. If Parent does not timely deliver a notice of disagreement to the Company, the amount of the Closing Cash Merger
Consideration to be paid at the Effective Time shall be based on the Companys Estimated Working Capital as delivered to Parent. If Parent timely delivers a written notice of disagreement to the Company, Parent and the Company shall use their
good faith efforts to resolve any disputes with respect to the Companys Estimated Working Capital prior to the Closing Date, and the amount of Closing Cash Merger Consideration to be paid at the Effective Time shall be based on the Estimated
Working Capital (as defined below) as mutually agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company. If Parent timely delivers a notice of disagreement to the Company but Parent and the Company are unable to resolve their dispute regarding the
Companys Estimated Working Capital within four (4) Business Days of the delivery by Parent to the Company of such notice of disagreement, then the amount of Closing Cash Merger Consideration to be paid at the Effective Time shall be based
on the amount of working capital set forth in such notice of disagreement. Estimated Working Capital shall mean the estimate of the Companys Net Working Capital at the close of business on the Closing Date as determined by
the parties pursuant to this Section 3.7(a).

(b) Target Working Capital means $285,980.00 in Net
Working Capital. The Estimated Working Capital Adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Estimated Working Capital, as determined in accordance with Section 3.7(a), less the Target Working Capital.

Section 7.9 of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Parent a calculation of the Companys EBITDA (as defined below) for the Companys fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (the FY 2006
EBITDA) which shall be derived from and based solely upon the elements of EBITDA that are set forth in such Audited Financial Statements. If FY 2006 EBITDA is less than $33,300,000 (the Target EBITDA), then the Purchase
Price shall be reduced by a dollar amount (the EBITDA Adjustment Amount) equal to (i) the difference between the Target EBITDA minus the FY 2006 EBITDA, with such difference then being multiplied by
(ii) 7.658. The term EBITDA shall mean the Companys total revenues, less the Companys total expenses, each for the Companys fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, except for its interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization expenses for such period. Such expenses shall also exclude the items set forth on Schedule 3.7(c).

Section 3.8. Post Closing Adjustments.

(a) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Parent shall
prepare and deliver to the Equity Holders Representative a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the Closing Balance Sheet), which will include
Parents calculation of the Companys actual Net Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the Closing Working Capital) and a certificate based on such Closing Balance Sheet setting forth
Parents calculation of the Closing Working Capital Adjustment (as defined in Section 3.8(b)) (such Closing Balance Sheet, statement of Net Working Capital, and certificate, collectively, are referred to herein as, the
Closing Statement). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (as defined in Section 11.6), consistent with the practices, policies and procedures used in preparation of the Base
Balance Sheet (as defined in Section 4.5(a)(ii)), and shall be certified by an authorized officer of Parent. The preparation of the Closing Statement shall be for the sole purpose of determining the Closing Working Capital
Adjustment. The Equity Holders Representative shall have twenty (20) Business Days following its receipt of the Closing Statement (the Review Period) to review the same. On or before the expiration of the Review Period,
the Equity Holders Representative shall deliver to Parent a written statement accepting or objecting to the Closing Statement. If the Equity Holders Representative objects to the Closing Statement, such statement shall include an
itemization of the Equity Holders Representatives objections and the reasons therefor. If the Equity Holders Representative does not deliver such statement to Parent within the Review Period, the Equity Holders Representative
shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Statement.

(b) The Closing Working Capital Adjustment shall mean
(i) if the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment was zero, then an amount equal to the Target Working Capital minus the Closing Working Capital; (ii) if the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment was positive, then an amount equal to
the Target Working Capital plus the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment minus the Closing Working Capital; or (iii) if the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment was negative, then an amount equal to the Target Working Capital
minus the absolute value of the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment minus the Closing Working Capital.

(c) The Closing
Working Capital Adjustment set forth on the Closing Statement, as accepted or deemed accepted under Section 3.8(a) or, if applicable, as determined in accordance with Section 3.8(d) below, shall constitute the
Final Closing Adjustment for purposes of determining any adjustment to the Total Merger Consideration.

(d) If the Equity Holders Representative objects to the Closing Statement within the Review Period,
Parent and the Equity Holders Representative shall promptly and in good faith attempt to resolve such objections. Any such objections that cannot be resolved between Parent and the Equity Holders Representative within thirty
(30) days following Parents receipt of the Equity Holders Representatives statement of objections shall be resolved in accordance with this Section 3.8(d). Any such unresolved objections shall be submitted
to Grant Thornton, LLP (the Accounting Referee) for review and resolution, with instructions to complete the same as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of its engagement, and to make any
calculations in accordance with GAAP, consistent with the practices, policies and procedures used in preparation of the Base Balance Sheet. Such Accounting Referee shall deliver a statement setting forth its own calculation of the Closing Working
Capital Adjustment within thirty (30) days of the submission of the matter to such firm, which calculation, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive on the parties and not subject to appeal. The fees and costs of the Accounting
Referee, if one is required, shall be payable (i) out of the Escrow Fund on behalf of the Equity Holders, on the one hand, and (ii) by Parent, on the other hand, on the basis, for each such party, of the ratio of (A) the positive
difference between the amount of Closing Working Capital Adjustment submitted by such party and the determination of the actual Closing Working Capital Adjustment made by the Accounting Referee to (B) the difference between the Closing Working
Capital Adjustment amounts submitted by each party.

(e) If the Final Closing Adjustment is a positive amount, Parent shall receive (out of
the Escrow Fund) an amount in cash equal to the Final Closing Adjustment, including all interest earned thereon. In the event the Final Closing Adjustment is a negative amount, then Parent shall pay to the Equity Holders an amount in cash equal to
the Final Closing Adjustment, plus interest on such amount, from the Closing Date until the date of determination of the Final Closing Adjustment, earned at the same rate of interest as was earned on the Escrow Fund for the same period of
time, and shall distribute such amount proportionally to the Equity Holders based on each such Equity Holders Pro Rata Portion of such amount. Any payment made under this Section 3.8(e) shall be made within five
(5) Business Days of the final determination of the Final Closing Adjustment.

Section 3.9. Holdback Amount. At the
Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be delivered to the Equity Holders Representative an amount in cash equal to the Holdback Amount. The distribution of the Holdback Amount to the Equity Holders Representative shall be governed by the
terms hereof and the terms of an agreement to be entered into by and among the Equity Holders Representative and the Equity Holders party thereto, such agreement to be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the
Equity Holders Agreement). The Holdback Amount shall be held in escrow by the Equity Holders Representative and shall be available to pay the fees and expenses of the Equity Holders Representative in connection with
the consummation of the Closing and the obligations of the Equity Holders Representative hereunder and under the Escrow Agreement. Any portion of the Holdback Amount not used to pay such fees and expenses shall be distributed to the Equity
Holders in accordance with the terms of the Equity Holders Agreement; it being understood and agreed that Parents sole obligation to the Equity Holders with respect to the Holdback Amount shall be Parents



10



---

obligation to pay the Holdback Amount to the Equity Holders Representative in accordance with this Section 3.9 at the Closing, and
following such payment, Parent shall have no further obligation with respect to the payment or delivery of such Holdback Amount to the Equity Holders.

Section 3.10. Increase in Transaction Price. In the event that the Closing occurs after the later of (i) the date which is sixty (60) days following delivery to Parent of the Audited Financial
Statements (as defined in Section 7.9) and (ii) June 1, 2007 (the later of such dates, the Price Increase Start Date), then the initial Transaction Price set forth in Section 2.1(d)
shall be increased by an amount equal to one percent (1%) per annum, based on a 360-day year, of such initial Transaction Price, pro-rated for the number of days beginning on and including the Price Increase Start Date and ending on and
including the day immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, that if on the Price Increase Start Date all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VIII (other than the condition set forth in
Section 8.2(p)) are not satisfied, or could not be satisfied subject only to consummation of the Closing, then the increase in the Transaction Price shall be calculated based on the number of days beginning on and including the
first date on which all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VIII (other than the condition set forth in Section 8.2(p)) are satisfied, or could be satisfied subject only to consummation of the
Closing, and ending on and including the day immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided further, however, that if at any time after any Price Increase Start Date any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in
Article VIII (other than the condition set forth in Section 8.2(p)) is no longer satisfied or capable of being satisfied subject only to consummation of the Closing (the Stop Date), then the increase
in the Transaction Price pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be terminated and all increases accrued prior to the Stop Date shall be ignored and have no effect, but if thereafter all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in
Article VIII (other than the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(p)) again become satisfied, or could be satisfied subject only to consummation of the Closing, then a new Price Increase Start Date shall be
deemed to have occurred on such date with the increase in the Transaction Price being calculated based on the number of days beginning on and including the date on which each of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VIII(other than the condition set forth in Section 8.2(p)) again become satisfied, or could be satisfied subject only to consummation of the Closing, and ending on and including the day immediately prior to the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Audited Financial Statements that comply with Section 7.9(c) have not been delivered to Parent on or before March 31, 2007, then this Section 3.10 will be null and void,
and no increase to the Transaction Price shall accrue or be payable hereunder.

Agreement, and the consummation by Parent and MergerCo of the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof, do not (i) violate, conflict with or result in a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or

Federal Trade Commission (the FTC), the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the DOJ) or any

other Governmental Authority, as applicable, for the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, Parent shall not be required, as a condition to obtaining such approval, to divest or hold separate or otherwise take or commit to take any action or enter into any agreement that limits its freedom of action with
respect to all or any portion of Parents or any of its Subsidiaries assets, businesses or lines of business, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall make any such divestiture or take any such action or make any such
commitment with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries business or assets in connection with obtaining any such approval without Parents prior written consent.

(b) Each of the parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to do, or cause to be done,
all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable, including to
(i) obtain the consents and approvals of the third parties and Governmental Authorities listed on Schedule 4.4 and (ii) promptly make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions required under
applicable law with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

(c) Section 7.4(b)
notwithstanding, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, within 30 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, all applications, including FCC Forms 394 or other
appropriate forms required to be filed (i) with the FCC and (ii) with any other Governmental Authority that are necessary for the transfer of control of the Franchises in connection with the consummation of the Merger. Parent shall provide
to the Company all information deemed reasonably necessary by the Company for the completion of the FCC Forms 394 required to be filed in order to obtain the approvals necessary to transfer the Franchises (including information reasonably required
by the terms of the Franchises and requested by the Company), and agrees to cooperate reasonably, diligently, and in good faith with the Company in the preparation of such FCC Forms 394 to permit the filing of such FCC Forms 394. Following
the execution hereof, until the Closing, the Company shall timely send or cause to be sent all required renewal letters with respect to the Franchises pursuant to Section 626(a) of the Cable Act to the proper Governmental Authority. The Company
shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries to not, without Parents prior written consent, agree or accede to any material modifications or amendments to, or in connection with, or the imposition of any material condition to the renewal of, any
of the Franchises that, individually or in the aggregate, will impose a material obligation on Parent following the Closing. The Company shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, notify Parent of all meetings, hearings and other discussions
before or with Governmental Authorities in connection with the renewal or extension of any Franchise, any governmental authorization relating to a Franchise or the granting of a Required Consent (as defined in Section 8.2(f)) such
that Parents representatives can participate to the extent reasonably practicable in such proceedings.

(d)
Section 7.4(b) notwithstanding, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, within 30 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, all
applications required to be filed with the FCC and with any other Governmental Authority that are necessary for the transfer of control of any Company Licenses in connection with the consummation of the Merger. Parent shall provide to



39



---

the Company all information deemed reasonably necessary by the Company for the completion of the applications necessary to obtain the approvals necessary to
transfer the Company Licenses (including information reasonably required by the terms of the Company Licenses and requested by the Company), and agrees to cooperate reasonably, diligently, and in good faith with the Company in the preparation of
such applications to permit the filing of such applications. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, upon Parents request, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an extension or renewal of any Company
License that has expired or will expire prior to July 31, 2007, and such extension or renewal shall be for a term reasonably requested by Parent and shall otherwise be on substantially the same or on other commercially reasonable terms that are
reasonably acceptable to Parent. The Company shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries to not, without Parents prior written consent, agree or accede to any material modifications or amendments to, or in connection with, or the imposition of
any material condition to the renewal of, any of the Company Licenses that, individually or in the aggregate, will impose a material obligation on Parent following the Closing. The Company shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, notify Parent
of all meetings, hearings and other discussions before or with Governmental Authorities in connection with the renewal or extension of any Company License or the granting of a Required Consent such that Parents representatives can participate
to the extent reasonably practicable in such proceedings.

(e) Upon Parents reasonable request, the Company shall deliver with each
FCC Form 394 a proposed Franchise transfer resolution, which will include a request to extend, for a term of 36 months following the Closing, on substantially the same or on other commercially reasonable terms that are reasonably acceptable to
Parent, any Franchise that has expired or will expire after the date hereof and prior to the date which is 30 months after the Closing Date in accordance with its terms. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, upon Parents
reasonable request the Company shall seek to obtain any such extension or renewal of any Franchise that has expired or will expire after the date hereof and prior to the date which is 30 months after the Closing Date in accordance with its terms in
the ordinary course of business, provided, that, in any event, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such extension or renewal (i) with a term of 36 months following the Closing and (ii) on substantially the same
or on other commercially reasonable terms that are reasonably acceptable to Parent.

(f) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing
Date, upon Parents request, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an extension or renewal of any lease set forth on Schedule 7.4(f), and such extension or renewal shall be for a term of up to 36 months (as
so requested by Parent) and shall otherwise be on substantially the same or on other commercially reasonable terms that are reasonably acceptable to Parent; provided, however, that no such extension or renewal shall require the Company
to incur or pay any extension or renewal fees; provided further, however, that no ordinary course rental increase will be considered an extension or renewal fee.

(g) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, agree, without Parents prior written consent to any material change to the terms
of any Franchise, Company License or Material Contract as a condition to obtaining any consent or approval related to such Franchise, Company License or Material Contract. If in connection with obtaining any consent or approval, a Governmental
Authority or other third party seeks to impose any condition or



40



---

adverse change to any Franchise, Company License or Material Contract to which such consent or approval relates as a requirement for granting such consent or
approval, the Company shall promptly notify Parent of such fact, and the Company shall not agree to such condition or adverse change unless Parent shall, in its reasonable discretion, consent to such condition or change in writing.

(h) Each of Parent and MergerCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining the Required Consents, including
(i) providing to such third parties and Governmental Authorities such financial statements and other financial information as such third parties or Governmental Authority may reasonably request and (ii) agreeing to commercially reasonable
adjustments to the terms of the Franchises, Company Licenses and Material Contracts with such third parties and Governmental Authorities (provided that neither party hereto shall be required to agree to any adjustment increasing the amount payable
with respect thereto).

Section 7.5. Officers and Directors Indemnification.

(a) In the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including,
without limitation, any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which any Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or
agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the Indemnified Parties) is, or is threatened to be, made a party based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that he or
she is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or (ii) the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after the
Effective Time, the Company, Parent and MergerCo agree to cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to defend against and respond thereto. It is understood and agreed that the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, and after the Effective
Time the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless, as and to the full extent permitted by applicable law, each Indemnified Party against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable
attorneys fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, demand, proceeding or investigation, and in the event of any such threatened or actual claim,
action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time), (A) the Company, and the Surviving Corporation and Parent after the Effective Time, shall promptly pay expenses incurred by each
Indemnified Party as the same are incurred in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to such Indemnified Party, (B) the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and the Company,
Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall pay all fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties within thirty (30) days after statements therefor are received and (C) the Company, Parent and the Surviving Corporation will
use their respective reasonable best efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of any such matter; provided, however, that none of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably



41



---

withheld); and provided further that the Company, Surviving Corporation and Parent shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party when and if a
court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable, that indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable law. Any
Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 7.5, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall notify the Company and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving
Corporation and Parent thereof; provided that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligations of the Company, the Surviving Corporation and Parent except to the extent such failure to notify materially prejudices such party.

(b) Parent and MergerCo agree that all rights to indemnification or exculpation existing in favor of, and all limitations on the personal liability of,
each present and former director, officer, employee, fiduciary and agent of the Company and its Subsidiaries provided for in their respective charters or by-laws or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof shall continue in full force and effect
for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claims asserted or made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such claim. From and after the
Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation also agree to indemnify and hold harmless the present and former officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time to
the extent provided in any written indemnification agreements between the Company and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries.

(c) At the
Effective Time, Parent shall purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under the Companys existing directors and officers liability insurance coverage for the Companys and its Subsidiaries directors and officers
in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company that shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six (6) years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage and have other terms not materially less favorable
to, the insured Persons than the directors and officers liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company. Parent shall maintain such policy in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(d) The obligations under this Section 7.5 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect
any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 7.5 applies without the consent of such Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 7.5 applies shall be third party
beneficiaries of this Section 7.5 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein).

(e) In the event
Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or
(ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving
Corporation, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.5.

that may prevent the tax year of the Company and its Subsidiaries from ending for federal and applicable state, local and foreign income tax purposes at the end of the day on the Closing Date.

(d) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 9.4 and 9.5, Parent, the
Surviving Corporation and the Equity Holders Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other parties, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or any amended Tax Returns, any Tax audits, Tax
proceedings or other Tax-related claims, the authorization and execution of any appropriate powers of attorney to accomplish the foregoing, allowing the Equity Holders Representative to review Tax Returns to determine or verify the proper
amounts payable thereunder, and any mechanisms or payment processes reasonably requested by the Equity Holders Representative to pay any Tax refunds to the Equity Holders to the extent, but only to the extent, that the Equity Holders are
entitled thereto pursuant to Section 7.6(f) hereof. Such cooperation shall include, upon the Equity Holders Representatives request, providing records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such matters,
making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information, and explaining any materials provided pursuant to this Section 7.6. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries

---

Holders Representative and, before any disposition or destruction of such materials at any time, Parent shall give Equity Holders Representative
the opportunity to take possession of such materials and documents.

transfer, stamp, recording, registration and any similar Taxes (including penalties and interest thereon, Transfer Taxes) that become payable in connection with the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne
50% by Parent and 50% by the Company. The applicable parties shall cooperate in filing such forms and documents as may be necessary to permit any such Transfer Tax to be assessed and paid on or prior to the Closing Date in accordance with any
available pre-sale filing procedure, and to obtain any exemption or refund of any such Transfer Tax.

(f) Tax Refunds. The Equity

Section 7.7. Books and Records. Parent and MergerCo shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of the Surviving
Corporations Subsidiaries to, until the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date, retain all books, records and other documents pertaining to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries in existence on the Closing Date and to
make the same available for inspection and copying by the Equity Holders and the Equity Holders Representative at the expense of the Equity Holders Representative during the normal business hours of Parent, MergerCo, the Surviving
Corporation or such Subsidiary, as applicable, upon reasonable request and upon reasonable notice. No such books, records or documents shall be destroyed after the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date without first advising the Equity
Holders Representative in writing and giving the Equity Holders Representative a reasonable opportunity to obtain possession thereof.

Section 7.8. Employment Matters.

(a) As of the Effective Time, the Company shall have terminated all Company Plans
except for those Company Plans that Parent requests not be terminated. Parent shall take all necessary action so that, after the Effective Time, any current or former employee of the Company who is eligible to participate in a Company Plan as of the
Effective Time shall either be eligible to continue his or her participation in such Company Plan or participate in a corresponding employee benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its subsidiaries, subject to the terms of such corresponding
plan. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, within thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall provide written notification to Company of the Company Plans to be terminated and Company plans to be maintained
post-Closing. Parent shall have the sole discretion to determine which current or former employees of the Company will continue participation in a Company Plan after the Effective Time and which will commence participation in a corresponding
employee benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its subsidiaries after the Effective Time and, with respect to current or former employees who transfer participation to such a corresponding plan, when such transfer will occur. Parent need not
treat all current and former employees of the Company (including those who are similarly situated) in the same manner with respect to which plans they participate in and when, if at all, they transfer participation from a Company Plan to a
corresponding employee benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its subsidiaries. Parent may take such actions (or cause its



44



---

subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation to take such actions) as are necessary or advisable to accomplish the foregoing, including, without limitation,
amending the eligibility provisions of the employee benefit plans maintained by Parent, its subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation.

(b)
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.8, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting the power of the Surviving Corporation to amend or terminate any particular Company Plan or any other particular employee
benefit plan, program, agreement or policy or as requiring the Surviving Corporation or Parent to offer to continue (other than as required by its terms) any Company Plan or any written employment contract or to continue the employment of any
specific person; provided, however, that no such termination or amendment may take away benefits or any other payments already accrued as of the time of such termination or amendment without the consent of such person, except as
allowed by law.

Section 7.9. Interim Financial Statements; Other Reports; Audited Financial Statements.

(a) Not later than 30 days after the end of each calendar month and each fiscal quarter following the date hereof and through and until the Closing Date,

each calendar month and calendar quarter following the date hereof and certified by the Companys Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the Interim Financial Statements), and such Interim Financial Statements will be

the Company and its Subsidiaries, (B) shall have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, (C) will fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the date thereof and for the period indicated therein, and (D) shall have been audited by Eide Bailly, LLP.

Section 7.10. Exclusivity. The Company agrees on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates that following the Time of the Requisite Vote until the earlier of (a) the Closing Date



45



---

and (b) the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective directors,
employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the Company Parties) not to, discuss, pursue or enter into any contract with respect to a possible sale or other disposition (whether by merger, reorganization, recapitalization
or otherwise) of all or any part of the capital stock of the Company or its Subsidiaries or all or any material part of its or their assets with any other Person (an Acquisition Proposal) or provide any information to any Person
other than Parent and MergerCo (and their representatives) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall, and shall cause the Company Parties to, (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all contracts, discussions
and negotiations with all Persons other than Parent and MergerCo (and their representatives) regarding the foregoing and (ii) promptly notify Parent if any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or contact with any Person other than Parent and
MergerCo (and their representatives) with respect thereto is subsequently made to any Company Party.

Section 7.11. Further
Action. At and following the Closing, each party hereto will execute such further documents and instruments and take such further actions as may reasonably be requested by one or more of the other parties to (a) consummate the Merger,
(b) vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all assets, properties, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of either MergerCo or the Company and (c) effect the other purposes of this Agreement.

terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent or MergerCo in such definitive agreements that are within their control and (iv) consummate the Financing no later

financing terms are not reasonably expected to materially delay or prevent the Financing and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In the event that any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable in the manner or from the sources contemplated in the Commitment Letter, (i) Parent shall promptly deliver a written notice of such fact to
the Company (the Financing Termination Notice), and (ii) Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources, on terms, reasonably acceptable to Parent and that Parent
does not reasonably expect to materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If Parent is successful in obtaining such alternative financing, Parent shall inform the Company of such fact by delivering written
notice to the Company (the Alternative Financing Notice). If Parent has not delivered the Alternative Financing Notice to the Company by the ninetieth (90th) day following the date of delivery to the Company of the Financing
Termination Notice or such later date as agreed to in writing by the parties, (i) Parent may terminate this Agreement upon three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Company without any liability to Parent, and (ii) the
Company may terminate this Agreement upon three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Parent without any liability to the Company, in each case, so long as no Alternative



46



---

Financing Notice is received by the Company prior to the effective date of such termination; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section 7.12(b) shall be deemed to affect any partys right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1.

years 2006 through 2011 and for the eight quarters beginning with the fourth quarter of 2006, (v) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Companys accountants comfort letters to any underwriters or initial purchasers
consistent with Statement of Accounting Standards 72 (as amended), including standard negative assurance on any interim period of pro forma financial statements, (vi) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Companys
auditors a consent to the inclusion of the Companys audited financial statements in prospectuses, offering memoranda or public filings to be made by Parent, and (vii) helping procure other definitive financing documents or other
reasonably requested certificates or documents, including pledge and security documents, customary certificates (including a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company with respect to solvency matters), legal opinions and real estate

event or condition hereafter arising or discovered, which if existing or known at the date of this Agreement would have been required to be set forth or described in the Schedules (as defined in Section 11.2), supplement or amend
such Schedules with respect to such matter, event or condition. Any such supplemental or amended disclosure with respect to those matters, events or conditions arising or discovered after the date of this Agreement shall not be deemed to have cured
any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement for purposes of the indemnifications provided for in Article IX hereof and shall not be deemed to have cured any such inaccuracy of representation or warranty

ARTICLE IX - SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1.
Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a) All covenants in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and remain
in full force and effect indefinitely (unless any such covenant by its terms terminates as of an earlier date). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the representations and warranties contained in Article IV and
Article V will terminate, without further action, on the date which is



51



---

the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the Anniversary Date) except for
(i) Sections 4.1,4.2,4.8,4.10(a),4.10(d), 4.16, 5.1, 5.2and5.5, which representations and warranties shall
continue until expiration of their respective statutes of limitations and (ii) Section 4.14, which representations and warranties shall terminate on the date which is five (5) years following the Closing Date (the
Environmental Expiration Date).

(b) The indemnification contained in this Article IX will survive
the Closing and shall remain in effect:

(i) to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any
indemnifiable claim related to the breach of any covenant or the breach of any representation or warranty that pursuant to Section 9.1(a) survives until the expiration of its applicable statute of limitations; provided,
however, that claims for indemnification for pre-Closing breaches of covenants shall expire on the Anniversary Date,

(ii) until the Environmental Expiration Date for any indemnifiable claims that are specified in Section 9.1(a)(ii),

(iii) until the Anniversary Date for any indemnifiable claims that are not specified in Section 9.1(b)(i) or Section 9.1(b)(ii), and

(iv) until the Anniversary Date for any indemnifiable claims that are specified in Section 9.2(a)(v).

Unless a claim for indemnification with respect to any alleged breach of any representation or warranty is asserted by notice given as herein provided
that identifies a particular breach and the underlying facts relating thereto, which notice is given within the applicable period of survival for such representation or warranty, such claim may not be pursued and is irrevocably waived after such
time. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing sentence, no claim for indemnification with respect to any representation or warranty will be deemed to have been properly made except (i) to the extent it is based upon a Third
Party Claim (as defined in Section 9.4(a)) or (ii) to the extent based on Indemnifiable Losses (as defined in Section 9.3(a)(iv)) incurred by an Indemnitee (as defined in
Section 9.3(a)(ii)), and such indemnification claim is made or brought prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representation or warranty. For purposes of clarity, claims asserted in writing before the applicable
period of survival for such representation or warranty terminates shall be deemed timely made regardless of whether litigation or arbitration proceedings are commenced by such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if
either party makes a claim for indemnification in writing and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to any matter for which indemnification is provided under Section 9.2(a) or
Section 9.2(b) prior to the applicable expiration date as provided in Section 9.1(b), the indemnification contained in this Article IX with respect to such claim shall survive until such claim
is finally resolved in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 9.2. Indemnification.

(a) Following the Closing, and subject to the other sections of this Article IX, the Equity Holders, from the Escrow Fund as
contemplated by the final sentence of Section 9.3(d),



52



---

and to the extent the Escrow Fund is insufficient, the Indemnifying Equity Holders, severally and not jointly, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Parent and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, and agents from and against all Indemnifiable Losses, relating to, resulting from or arising out of:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Company in Article IV and the
certificate provided pursuant to Section 8.2(a) of this Agreement;

(ii) a breach by the Company of any
covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement; and

(iii) any amount payable in respect of any Dissenting
Share, Option or Warrant in excess of the applicable portion of the Total Merger Consideration;

(iv) reasonable out of
pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any dissenters rights pursuant to Section 3.4; and

(v) (1) the Companys participation in the National Telecommunications Cooperative Associations Retirement and Security Program, (2) benefits to be paid under the PrairieWave Communications, Inc.

subject to the Special Indemnification Cap Limitation (as defined below).

(b) Following the Closing, and subject to the other sections of
this Article IX, Parent will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Equity Holders and their respective directors, officers and agents from and against all Indemnifiable Losses relating to, resulting from or arising out of:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Parent or MergerCo in
Article V and the certificate provided pursuant to Section 8.3(a) of this Agreement; and

(ii) a breach by Parent or MergerCo of any covenant or agreement of Parent or MergerCo contained in this Agreement.

(c) All
payments made on behalf of the Equity Holders (including out of the Escrow Fund), by Parent or by MergerCo (or any of their respective Affiliates), as the case may be, to or for the benefit of other parties pursuant to Section 3.8
or Section 7.6 or this Article IX shall be treated as adjustments to the Total Merger Consideration for tax purposes, and such agreed treatment shall govern for purposes of this Agreement. Parent, MergerCo and
the Company shall file all Tax Returns consistent with such treatment. As between Parent and the Equity Holders Representative, upon the settlement or resolution of any claim for indemnification by Parent or Merger Co while the Escrow Fund
remains held by the Escrow Agent, Parent and the Equity Holders Representative agree to provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent regarding the disbursement of funds to the applicable party, all in accordance with the Escrow
Agreement.

(ii) Indemnitee means any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement;

(iii) Indemnifying Party means any Person required to provide indemnification under this Agreement; and

(iv) Indemnifiable Losses means any losses, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, assessments, fines, interest, penalties, awards, deficiencies and other obligations and expenses (including
reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys fees and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) actually incurred in connection with any matter for which indemnification is granted pursuant to
Section 9.2(a)(i)(v), inclusive, or Section 9.2(b)(i)(ii), inclusive, in any such case (x) reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds actually recovered from any
Person or entity with respect thereto and (y) excluding any such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses to the extent that the underlying liability or obligation is the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Indemnitee; provided, however, that in no event shall Indemnifiable Losses include any such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses arising out of or relating to the availability or use of any Tax attributes of the Company and
its Subsidiaries following the Closing.

(b) As between the Company, any Affiliate of the Company and the Equity Holders
Representative, on the one hand, and Parent and any Affiliate of Parent, on the other hand, the remedies, rights and obligations set forth in this Article IXwill be the exclusive remedies, rights and obligations with respect to
the liabilities and obligations referred to in Sections 9.2(a)(i)and9.2(b)(i) and any breach of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, except with respect to matters of fraud. Without
limiting the foregoing, as a material inducement to entering into this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the parties waives any claim or cause of action that it otherwise might assert based upon any breach of the
representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, except for claims or causes of action brought under and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX and except with respect to matters of fraud.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or of any applicable law, except for Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or relating to any
inaccuracy of representations and warranties under Section 4.2 and Section 4.8 (which shall not be subject to this Section 9.3(c)), no Indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification for a
claim against an Indemnifying Party for any Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or relating to any inaccuracy of representations or warranties under Sections 9.2(a)(i) or 9.2(b)(i) until the aggregate amount of



54



---

Indemnifiable Losses incurred by such Indemnitee exceeds $500,000 (all amounts up to and including such amount, the Basket Amount);
provided, however, that in determining whether the Basket Amount has been exceeded, there shall not be included any Losses arising from any claim with respect to which the total Losses are less than $10,000; provided,
further, that it is expressly understood that claims for indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(v) shall not be subject to the Basket Amount.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the indemnification obligations of the Equity Holders under Section 9.2(a)(i) and Section 9.2(a)(v), collectively, or
the indemnification obligation of Parent under Section 9.2(b)(i) shall not exceed an amount equal to the amount of the Escrow Fund, respectively (the Cap Limitation); provided, however, that
(i) the Cap Limitation shall not apply to breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.8, 4.10(a), 4.10(d), 4.14, 5.1 and
5.2 or to matters of fraud; (ii) notwithstanding clause (i) above, in no event shall the indemnifiable obligations of the Equity Holders for any breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in

Environmental Cap Limitation); and (iii) in no event shall the indemnification obligations of the Equity Holders for the Special Indemnification Matters, including pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) for breaches
of representations and warranties relating to any of the Special Indemnification Matters, exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the Special Indemnification Cap
Limitation). The Equity Holders shall be obligated to provide indemnification from the Escrow Fund as contemplated by the final sentence of Section 9.3(d), and to the extent the Escrow Fund is insufficient, the
Indemnifying Equity Holders shall be required to provide indemnification severally and not jointly, for all Indemnifiable Losses that may be asserted pursuant to Section 9.2(a), subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Parent
shall be obligated to provide indemnification for all Indemnifiable Losses that may be asserted pursuant to Section 9.2(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IXor
Section 7.6, all amounts due from the Equity Holders pursuant to Article IXor Section 7.6 shall be paid first out of the Escrow Fund and, if the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Losses
exceeds the Escrow Fund, then each of the Indemnifying Equity Holders shall, severally and not jointly, pay such Indemnifying Equity Holders Pro Rata Portion of the amount of such excess to Parent; provided, however, that
(x) such Indemnifying Equity Holders shall not be obligated to reimburse Parent for an aggregate amount greater than the Total Merger Consideration, (y) in no event shall the liability of the Indemnifying Equity Holders for claims of
breaches of the representations and warranties of Section 4.14 exceed, in the aggregate, the Environmental Cap Limitation, and (z) in no event shall the liability of the Indemnifying Equity Holders for the Special
Indemnification Matters, including pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) for breaches of representations and warranties relating to any of the Special Indemnification Matters, exceed, in the aggregate, the Special Indemnification Cap
Limitation (less any amounts related to the Special Indemnification Matters (including for any breach of any representation or warranty with respect to any such Special Indemnification Matter) otherwise paid out of the Escrow Fund).

(e) No Indemnifying Party shall be liable to or obligated to indemnify any Indemnitee hereunder for any punitive or exemplary damages, or
any consequential, special or multiple damages, except to the extent such damages have been recovered by a third person (including a Governmental Authority) and are the subject of a Third Party Claim for which indemnification is available under this
Article IX.



55



---

(f) The Company, Parent and the Equity Holders Representative shall cooperate with each other with
respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one Party is obligated to indemnify the other Party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability.

(g) No Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any Indemnifiable Losses arising from a breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement set forth herein (and the amount of any Indemnifiable Losses incurred in respect of such breach shall not be included in the calculation of any limitations on indemnification set forth herein) to the extent that such liability
is included in the calculation of the Estimated Working Capital and/or the Closing Working Capital.

(h) Any liability for indemnification
under this Section 9.3 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement.

Section 9.4. Defense of Claims.

(a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding by any Third Party (a Third Party Claim) against such Indemnitee, with respect
to which an Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee will give such Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than ten (10) calendar days after
receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall only relieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee pursuant to this
Article IX to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure (whether as a result of the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or otherwise). Upon receipt of notification of a Third Party
Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Indemnitee, to assume the investigation and defense thereof, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense if (i) the
Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to defend or is failing to defend in good faith the Third Party Claim,
(iii) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee are both named parties to the Third Party Claim, and the Indemnitee reasonably concludes based on the advice of counsel that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be or could
reasonably be expected to become inappropriate under applicable ethical standards due to actual or potential conflicting interests, (iv) in the case of Losses suffered by a Parent Indemnitee, such Losses would result in Indemnifiable Losses in
excess of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), (v) the Indemnifying Party does not, in the Indemnitees reasonable judgment, have sufficient financial resources to satisfy the amount of any adverse judgment that is reasonably likely to
result with respect to such Third Party Claim, or (vi) the Indemnifying Party fails to acknowledge in writing that it would have an indemnity obligation in accordance with the terms hereof for any and all Losses resulting from such Third Party
Claim. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the investigation and defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel



56



---

and to participate in the investigation and defense thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall pay the fees and disbursements of such separate
counsel unless (i) the employment of such separate counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within a reasonable
time after receipt of notice thereof, or (iii) the named parties to the proceeding in which such claim, demand, action or cause of action has been asserted include both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnitee and, in the reasonable judgment
of counsel to such Indemnitee, there exists one or more defenses that are in conflict with those available to the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and disbursements of more
than one counsel for all Indemnitees in connection with any one proceeding or any similar or related proceedings arising from the same general allegations or circumstances. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party
will not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim that would result in (A) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of, or impose any non-monetary liability, obligation
or commitment on, the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, (B) a finding or admission of a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, (C) a finding or admission that would have an
adverse effect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, or (D) any monetary liability of the Indemnitee that shall not be promptly paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party. Any such settlement or
compromise shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant of a release of the Indemnitee and the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim. If a settlement offer solely for money damages
is made by the applicable third party claimant (which offer provides for a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee), and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnitee in writing of the Indemnifying Partys willingness to accept the
settlement offer and pay the amount called for by such offer without reservation of any rights or defenses against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee may continue to contest such claim, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, and the amount
of any ultimate liability with respect to such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (1) the amount of the settlement offer that the Indemnitee declined to accept plus
the Indemnifiable Losses of the Indemnitee relating to such Third Party Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer or (2) the aggregate Indemnifiable Losses of the Indemnitee with respect to such claim.

(b) Any claim by an Indemnitee on account of an Indemnifiable Loss that does not result from a Third Party Claim will be asserted by giving the
Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after the incurrence thereof, provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnitee to notify the Indemnifying Party shall only relieve the
Indemnifying Party from its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee pursuant to this Article IX to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure (whether as a result of the forfeiture of
substantive rights or defenses or otherwise). The Indemnifying Party will have a period of 30 calendar days within which to respond in writing to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) calendar day
period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnitee will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee on the terms and subject to the provisions of this
Article IX.



57



---

(c) If, after the making of any Indemnification Payment, the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss to which
such payment relates is reduced by actual recovery, settlement or otherwise under any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other entity, the amount of such reduction (less any costs,
expenses, premiums or Taxes incurred in connection therewith) will promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. Upon making any Indemnification Payment, the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such Indemnification Payment,
be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee against any third party that is not an Affiliate of the Indemnitee in respect of the Indemnifiable Loss to which the Indemnification Payment relates; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall
then be in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss, and (ii) until the Indemnitee recovers full payment of its Indemnifiable Loss, all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such third
party on account of said Indemnification Payment will be subrogated and subordinated in right of payment to the Indemnitees rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision of this
Article IX, each such Indemnitee and Indemnifying Party will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation and subordination rights.

Section 9.5. No Indemnifiable Claims Resulting From Governmental Authority Action. No party has any indemnifiable or otherwise compensable
claim that any of the other parties representations or warranties is inaccurate, or that any covenant or agreement has been breached, if such claim is predicated on any new law or any action or order enacted or taken by a Governmental
Authority after the Closing and that is effective retroactively for periods of time prior to the Closing; provided that the first party had no knowledge of such law, action or order prior to the Closing.

Section 9.6. Equity Holders Representative.

(a) Powers. The Equity Holders Representative shall have full power and authority to take all actions under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreement entered into or document delivered
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are to be taken by the Equity Holders Representative, and Parent shall not be required to obtain the consent of any or all Equity Holders in connection with such matters;
it being understood and agreed that Parent shall be entitled to rely in all respects upon the decisions and actions of the Equity Holders Representative with respect thereto. The Equity Holders Representative shall be authorized to take
any and all actions which it believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreement entered into or document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including,

interpreting all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, authorizing payments to be made with respect hereto or thereto, obtaining reimbursement as provided for herein or therein for all out-of-pocket fees and
expenses and other obligations of or incurred by the Equity Holders Representative in connection with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, defending all indemnity claims against the Escrow Fund, consenting to, compromising or settling all
indemnity claims, conducting negotiations with Parent and its agents regarding such claims,



58



---

Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and engaging counsel, accountants or other representatives in connection with the foregoing matters. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Equity Holders Representative shall have the full
power and authority to interpret on behalf of the Equity Holders all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreement entered into or document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof on behalf of the Equity Holders in its capacity as Equity Holders Representative.

(b) Access to Information. The Equity Holders Representative shall have reasonable access to information of and concerning any indemnity claim and which is in the possession, custody or control of Parent or the Surviving
Corporation and the reasonable assistance of Parents and the Surviving Corporations officers and employees for purposes of performing the Equity Holders Representative duties and exercising its rights under this Agreement, the
Escrow Agreement and any other agreement entered into or document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including for the purpose of evaluating any indemnity claim against the Escrow Fund; provided that the
Equity Holders Representative shall treat confidentially and not, except in connection with enforcing its rights under this Agreement, the Escrow or any other agreement entered into or document delivered in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, disclose any nonpublic information from or concerning any indemnity claim to anyone (except to the Equity Holders Representatives attorneys, accountants or other advisers, to the Equity Holders and to any
other Person on a need-to-know basis, but only if such other Person agrees to keep such information confidential).

(c) Reasonable
Reliance. In the performance of its duties and exercise of its rights under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreement entered into or document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the
Equity Holders Representative shall be entitled to rely upon any document or instrument reasonably believed to be genuine, accurate as to content and signed by any party to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, any other agreement entered into
or document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Equity Holder. The Equity Holders Representative may assume that any Person purporting to give any notice in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other agreement entered into or document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized to do so.

(d) Orders. The Equity Holders Representative is authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with final, non-appealable orders or
decisions issued or process entered by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator with respect to the Escrow Fund. If any portion of the Escrow Fund is disbursed to the Equity Holders Representative and is at any time attached,
garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or
entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such event, the Equity Holders Representative is authorized, in its sole discretion, but in good faith, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ,
judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel selected by it is binding upon it without



59



---

the need for appeal or other action; and if the Equity Holders Representative complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be
liable to any Equity Holder or to any other Person by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled set aside or vacated.

(e) Irrevocable Appointment. Subject to the terms of the Equity Holders Agreement, the powers of the Equity Holders Representative hereunder
are irrevocable, and any action taken by the Equity Holders Representative pursuant to the authority granted in the Equity Holders Agreement shall be effective and absolutely binding as the action of the Equity Holders.

ARTICLE X - TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER
