ARTICLE II 
 SALE
AND PURCHASE OF THE COMPANY COMMON STOCK 
 2.1 Sale and Purchase of the Company Common Stock. Subject to the terms and

opposite the name of each Seller on Exhibit A annexed hereto under the heading “Share Ownership,” free and clear of any Liens or rights or claims of others. No later than three Business Days prior to Closing, Sellers’ Representative
shall deliver to Purchaser an updated Schedule A that reflects any changes to Schedule A occurring between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date. 
 2.2 Optionholders. Immediately prior to the Closing, each holder of options (the “Optionholders”) to acquire shares of the Company Common Stock shall exercise such options by
executing option exercise letters in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 (with appropriate blanks filled in) (collectively, the “Option Exercise Letters”) and become a stockholder of the Company. In order to fund the exercise
price of the options, the Optionholder shall receive loans from the Company, which such loans shall be evidenced by promissory notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 (with appropriate blanks filled in) (collectively, the
“Notes”) in favor of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, “Sellers” shall include the Optionholders. The Company shall deliver copies of all of the Option Exercises and Notes promptly after execution thereof.

 2.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price payable by Purchaser for the Company Common Stock shall be $13,750,000, subject
to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.4 and Section 7.2(e) (the “Purchase Price”), which Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Sellers in accordance with each Seller’s pro rata share of the total number of
shares of Company Common Stock sold to Purchaser (the “Pro Rata Share”). A portion of the Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price payable to each Optionholder will be remitted to the Company at Closing in full payment of
the outstanding amount of his or her Note. 
 2.4 Adjustment to the Purchase Price. 

(a) No later than three Business Days prior to the date on which the Closing is scheduled to occur, Sellers’ Representative shall
deliver to Purchaser a good faith estimate of the 

  
 7 








 
Closing Balance Sheet and, based on such estimated Closing Balance Sheet, a good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”). The Estimated
Working Capital will be accompanied by a certificate of Sellers’ Representative specifying that it was prepared in accordance with GAAP and the policies, practices and methodologies used in connection with the preparation of the Balance Sheet
and the provisions of this Section. Sellers’ Representative shall also deliver to Purchaser copies of all work papers and other documents used in the calculation of Estimated Working Capital as necessary to allow Purchaser and Sellers’
Representative to determine the adjustments to the Purchase Price hereunder. 
 (b) If Target Working Capital exceeds Estimated
Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of such excess. If Estimated Working Capital exceeds Target Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such excess. “Target Working
Capital” means Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000). 
 (c) As promptly as practicable, but no later than 45 days
after the Closing Date, Purchaser will cause to be prepared and delivered to Sellers’ Representative a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and shall reflect fully the effectuation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement) prepared in accordance with GAAP and the policies, practices and methodologies used in connection with the preparation of the Balance Sheet (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). The Closing
Balance Sheet will be accompanied by a certificate of Purchaser specifying that it was prepared in accordance with the provisions of this Section and setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working Capital. “Closing Working
Capital” means the consolidated current assets of the Company minus the consolidated liabilities of the Company (excluding deferred revenues), each as shown on the Closing Balance Sheet, determined as set forth in this
Section 2.4. 
 (d) If Sellers’ Representative disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working Capital,
Sellers’ Representative may, within 45 days after Purchaser’s delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet, deliver a notice to Purchaser disagreeing with such calculation and which specifies Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of
such amount and, in reasonable detail, Sellers’ Representative’s grounds for such disagreement. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which Sellers’ Representative disagrees. 

(e) If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to the preceding subsection, Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative
shall, during the 15 days following such delivery, use their reasonable best efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of Closing Working Capital, which amount shall not be less
than the amount thereof shown in Purchaser’s calculations delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(c) nor more than the amount thereof shown in Sellers’ calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(d). If Purchaser and Sellers’
Representative are unable to reach such agreement during such period, they shall promptly thereafter cause BDO Seidman (or if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, independent accountants of nationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory
to Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative (who shall not have any material relationship with Purchaser or Sellers)), promptly to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating Closing Working Capital. In
making such calculation, such independent accountants shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Balance Sheet or Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working 

  
 8 








 
Capital as to which Sellers have disagreed. Such independent accountants shall deliver to Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth such
calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Sellers. The cost of such review and report shall be borne (i) by Purchaser if the difference between Final Working Capital and Purchaser’s calculation of Closing
Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(c) is greater than the difference between Final Working Capital and Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(d),
(ii) by Sellers if the first such difference is less than the second such difference, or (iii) otherwise equally by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand. 

(f) Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative agree that they will, and agree to cause their respective independent accountants and each
of Company and Company Subsidiary to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Closing Working Capital and in the conduct of the audits and reviews referred to in this Section 2.4. 

(g) If Estimated Working Capital exceeds Final Working Capital, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a payment from each Seller equal
to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such excess. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall receive from the Escrow Agent up to $75,000 of such payment, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive, at its option, any and all additional amounts
owed by the Sellers pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence from the Escrow Amount. If Final Working Capital exceeds Estimated Working Capital, each Seller shall be entitled to receive a payment from Purchaser equal to its Pro Rata Share of
the amount of such excess. “Final Working Capital” means the Closing Working Capital (i) as shown in Purchaser’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(c), if no notice of disagreement with respect thereto is

 ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS 
 6.1 Regulatory Matters. 

(a) Purchaser and each Seller shall (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or proper to comply with all legal
requirements which may be imposed on such party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, obtaining any third party consent which may be required to be obtained in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and (ii) obtain (and cooperate with the other party to obtain) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity which is required or advisable to be obtained by Sellers or
Purchaser, respectively, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, and to effect all applications, notices,
petitions and filings (including, if required, notification under the HSR Act), to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities which are necessary or advisable
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser and Sellers shall have the right to review in advance and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the
exchange of information, all the information relating to Sellers, Company or Purchaser, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any
Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.1(a), in taking each of the foregoing actions each party shall be required only to use commercially reasonable efforts (it
being understood that Section 6.5 shall (i) supersede this Section 6.1 and (ii) apply with respect to all consents necessary under management, advisory, sub-advisory and similar contracts of Company and Company Subsidiary).

 (b) Purchaser and Sellers shall, upon request, furnish each other with all information concerning Purchaser, Sellers, Company
and their respective Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Purchaser, Sellers, Company or any
of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

6.2 Access to Information. 
 (a) Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, Sellers agree to provide Purchaser and Purchaser’s officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel,
financial advisors, agents and other representatives (collectively, the 

  
 27 









 
“Purchaser Representatives”), from time to time prior to the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, such information as Purchaser shall reasonably request with
respect to Company and Company Subsidiary and their respective businesses, financial conditions and operations and such access to the properties and personnel of Company and Company Subsidiary as Purchaser shall reasonably request, which access
shall occur during normal business hours and shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of Company or Company Subsidiary. Except as required by law, Purchaser will hold, and will cause
Purchaser Representatives and Affiliates to hold, any nonpublic information received from Sellers or Company or Company Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. 

(b) Sellers and Company shall not be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would
violate or prejudice the rights of customers, jeopardize the attorney-client or other legal privilege of the institution in possession or control of such information or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or
binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. 

6.3 Public Disclosure. Promptly, but in any event no later than one (1) Business Day after Closing, Sellers and Purchaser
shall issue a joint press release with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Sellers and Purchaser shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or
otherwise making any public statement or making any other public (or non-confidential) disclosure (whether or not in response to an inquiry) regarding the terms of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither shall
issue any such press release or make any such statement or disclosure without the prior approval of the other (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except, in each case, as and to the extent that such party shall be so
obligated by applicable law, in which case such party shall advise the other party of such obligation and the parties shall attempt to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued. 

6.4 Employees; Employee Benefit Matters. 
 (a) Upon the Closing, Company and Company Subsidiary shall automatically cease to be participating employers in any Company Benefits Plans not solely maintained by Company and Company Subsidiary. Sellers
shall take (or cause the Company or Company Subsidiary, as applicable, to take) all actions necessary to terminate, effective as of the day immediately prior to, and conditioned upon, the Closing Date, all employee benefit plans (including any
tax-qualified retirement plan) sponsored or maintained by the Company or Company Subsidiary. Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall maintain or cause to be maintained compensation opportunities, tax-qualified retirement plans, and welfare plans
for the benefit of employees who are actively employed by Company and Company Subsidiary as of the Closing Date (“Covered Employees”) which, in the aggregate, are generally substantially comparable to those compensation
opportunities and other employee tax-qualified retirement and welfare benefits that are made available to similarly situated employees of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries as applicable. 

  
 28 









 (b) For purposes of their participation in the employee benefit plans, arrangements and
agreements of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”), Purchaser shall credit each Covered Employee of Company and Company Subsidiary with full credit for all service credited under the Company Benefit Plans (including service
with Company prior to the Closing Date and, where applicable, service with prior or predecessor employers to the extent credit is given for such service under the Company Benefit Plans) for purposes of eligibility to participate and receive
benefits, for purposes of vesting and, except under defined benefit pension plans or other benefit plans under which the crediting of such service would result in duplication of benefits, for purposes of benefit accruals. With respect to Purchaser
Benefit Plans that are welfare benefit plans, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to cause any such plan to waive any pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements thereunder with respect to the Covered
Employees and their eligible dependents (to the extent waived under the applicable Company welfare benefit plan) and (ii) to permit Covered Employees to participate in any such plan, as of the Closing Date, subject to and contingent on the
approval of Purchaser’s insurers. Purchaser will take commercially reasonable efforts to permit Covered Employees to make eligible rollover contributions in cash and with respect to loans, if any, in loan notes evidencing loans to such Covered
Employee as of the date of distribution, to a Purchaser Benefit Plan that is a tax-qualified defined contribution plan. 
 (c)
Purchaser shall cause Company to honor all written contractual obligations of Company and Company Subsidiary to their respective current and former employees, directors and independent contractors, including, but not limited to, all obligations
under employment, severance and consulting plans and arrangements; provided that nothing herein shall limit the right of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate any particular plan or agreement in accordance with its terms. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing: in the event Purchaser terminates the employment of any employee of Company or Company Subsidiary prior to February 29, 2012, Purchaser will provide such employee with severance and other
post-termination benefits with an aggregate value at least equal to those for which such employee would have been eligible to such employee from Company or Company Subsidiary (as the case may be) if such termination had occurred immediately prior to
the Closing Date, and in no event with severance less than three months of any such employee’s base pay. 
 (d) No
provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary or other right in any Person (including any Covered Employee or any beneficiary or dependent thereof) in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) with either
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, and no provision of this Agreement shall create any such rights in any such Persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Purchaser Benefit Plan. 

6.5 Certain Client Matters. Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts, or shall cause the Company to use its reasonable best
efforts, to obtain, in accordance with applicable law and the applicable Investment Advisory Agreement, and as promptly as practical following the date of this Agreement, such approvals, consents or other actions, if any, by Clients so that after
the Closing Company or Company Subsidiary may continue its applicable management, advisory or sub-advisory relationship on terms that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to such entity than the terms of the existing Investment Advisory
Agreement between such Client and the applicable Company entity. Any such approvals or consents obtained shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. 

  
 29 









 6.6 Cooperation. Following the Closing, each party agrees to cooperate in good faith
to provide information to the other party that is reasonably necessary in connection with regulatory, legal, accounting and similar matters of Sellers and their Affiliates on the one hand and Purchaser and its Affiliates on the other (and not
relating to any dispute, litigation or arbitration between the parties hereto or their Affiliates). The parties agree that any information provided pursuant to this provision shall be kept confidential and shall not be used for any purpose
except for the reason given in the request. 
 6.7 Non-Solicitation. 

(a) Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the second
(2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the
“Purchaser Non Solicitation Period”), not directly or indirectly to (A) induce or attempt to induce any officer, employee, representative or agent of Matrix or any Subsidiary of Matrix (collectively, the “Restricted

the Closing or (y) hiring any employee of a Restricted Entity who makes an unsolicited approach to Purchaser seeking employment in response to the general advertisement or other public announcement of a job opening.

technology, in the case of either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), anywhere within the United States (a “Competing Business”). Subject to any exceptions set forth by the separate written agreement of Matrix and Purchaser,

provision shall not prohibit Matrix from: (i) acquiring a company or business that is an Affiliate of a Matrix Competing Business, if such Matrix Competing Business comprises one-quarter or less of the total revenues of such company or
business; or (ii) continuing to conduct the businesses in which Matrix and its subsidiaries (other than Prima) are engaged in as of the date of this Agreement, including without limitation the continued development, marketing and provision of
the RetireTool(k)it suite of products. For these purposes, ownership of securities of five percent (5%) or less of any class of securities of a company engaged in a Competing Business or Matrix Competing Business, as applicable, shall not be
considered to be a Competing Business or Matrix Competing Business, for purposes of this Section 6.7(c). Furthermore, Matrix and Broadridge (pursuant to its separate joinder to this Agreement) each hereby covenants and agrees, for a period of
three (3) years from the Closing Date, not to, and to cause each of its respective Subsidiaries not to, induce or attempt to induce any client of Company or Company Subsidiary set forth on Exhibit 6.7(c)-2 to cease doing business with Company
or Company Subsidiary as set forth opposite such client’s name on such Exhibit, or in any way divert or attempt to divert the provision of such services to any such client away from Company or Company Subsidiary.

Affiliates (x) at any time during the year prior to the date hereof or (y) during the Sellers Non Solicitation Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will prevent any Seller from (x) hiring any Person who was
employed at any time by Company, Company Subsidiary, Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates and whose employment was terminated by such employing Person following the Closing or (y) hiring any employee of any such employing Person who
makes an unsolicited approach to such Seller seeking employment in response to the general advertisement or other public announcement of a job opening.

shall hold that the duration or scope stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration or scope under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration or scope and that the
court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period and scope permitted by law. 

(h) Purchaser recognizes and affirms that in the event of its breach of any provision of Section 6.7(a) or 6.7(b), money damages
would be inadequate and Matrix would not have adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Purchaser agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 6.7(a) or 6.7(b), Matrix, in addition and supplementary
to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, may apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions thereof
(without posting a bond or other security). In addition, in the event of a breach or violation of Section 6.7(a) or 6.7(b), the relevant period of restriction shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured. 

(i) Each Seller recognizes and affirms that in the event of its breach of any provision of Section 6.7(c) or 6.7(d), money damages
would be inadequate and Purchaser would have not adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, each Seller agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 6.7(c) or 6.7(d), Purchaser, in addition and
supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, may apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the
provisions thereof (without posting a bond or other security). In addition, in the event of a breach or violation of Section 6.7(c) or 6.7(d), the relevant period of restriction shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly
cured. 
 (j) Purchaser acknowledges that its covenants in this Section 6.7 are a material inducement to Matrix to enter
into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and each Seller acknowledges and agrees that its covenants in this Section 6.7 are a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby.

connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return, statement, report or form (including any report required pursuant to Section 6043A of the Code and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), any audit, litigation or other
proceeding with respect to Taxes. The Company, the Sellers and Purchaser agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Period until the expiration of the applicable
statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or the Representative, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority and
(ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Company, the Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall allow the

Except as provided in Section 6.7(b)(2), Purchaser shall have the sole right to control any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to Taxes (a “Tax Proceeding”). (2) In the event a Tax Proceeding could
give rise to an indemnity obligation of the Sellers under Article IX, Sellers’ Representative shall have the right (but not the obligation) to control the defense of any such Tax Proceeding provided, however, that if Sellers’
Representative elects to control the defense of any such Tax Proceeding (i) Purchaser may participate in, but not control, such Tax Proceeding at Purchaser’s expense and (ii) Sellers’ Representative may not settle or otherwise
compromise any such Tax Proceeding without Purchaser’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld).

hand, shall be terminated effective as of the Closing Date and have no further effect for any taxable year or period (whether a past, present, or future year or period), and no additional payments shall be made thereunder with respect to any period
after the Closing Date in respect of the redetermination of Tax liabilities or otherwise. 
 (d) All transfer, documentary,
sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this

of such refunds) included in the calculation of Final Working Capital (which refunds and credits against Tax shall be for the account of Purchaser) and (ii) to the extent such Tax refunds (or any credits against Taxes in lieu of such refunds)
directly result in a Tax liability for which Purchaser is not indemnified under Section 9.2, Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to receive on behalf of the Sellers prompt payment from Purchaser of an amount equal to (as
applicable), (i) any Tax refunds of Company or any Subsidiary for Pre-Closing Periods (including refunds arising by reason of amended returns filed after the Closing Date) that are received by Purchaser or its Affiliates or (ii) any
credits against Taxes in lieu of refunds described in clause (i) of this sentence (plus any interest thereon received with respect thereto from the applicable taxing authority). 

(f) Purchaser covenants that, without obtaining the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, it will not, and will not
cause or permit any Affiliate of Purchaser, to (i) take any action on the Closing Date other than in the ordinary course of business or as specifically contemplated by this Agreement that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Tax
liability of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any indemnification obligation of Sellers, (ii) amend any Tax Return for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, or Straddle Period Tax Return, of Company or any Subsidiary without
the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, or (iii) carry back any loss, deduction, or credit from a tax period ending after the Closing Date to a tax period beginning before the Closing Date without the prior written consent of

 33 









 (g) Sellers’ Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and Purchaser shall
cooperate in the filing of, all Tax Returns for the Company or Company Subsidiary for all Taxable Periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date. Sellers’ Representative shall permit Purchaser to review and
comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing, and Sellers’ Representative shall consider all such comments in good faith. Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed, any
Tax Returns of Company or Company Subsidiary for Straddle Periods. Purchaser shall permit Sellers’ Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing, and Purchaser shall consider

shall be split between Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser.

limiting the foregoing, Sellers shall, and shall cause Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause MG Trust to perform all necessary steps leading up to and at Closing to enable the transfer of MG Trust’s trustee responsibilities
for the collective investment funds to the new trustee designated by Purchaser as promptly following closing as possible. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event such transfer cannot be effected for any reason beyond Sellers’
reasonable control, such failure to effect the transfer shall not be deemed a breach of any kind under this Agreement.

 (b)
by either Sellers’ Representative or Purchaser, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before April 15, 2012 (provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to any party
whose action or failure to act has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of a condition precedent set forth in Article VII hereof which has caused the Closing not to have occurred on or before such date and such action or failure to act

material respect, which breach would, individually or together with all such other then uncured breaches by Purchaser, constitute grounds for the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or
7.2(b) not to be satisfied at the Closing Date and such breach is not cured within 15 Business Days after written notice thereof to Purchaser; or 
 (e) by Purchaser, if Sellers have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Sellers contained in this Agreement in any material respect, which breach would, individually
or together with all such other then uncured breaches by Sellers, constitute grounds for the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b) not to be satisfied at the Closing Date and such breach is not cured within 15 Business Days after

Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing but shall expire on May 15, 2013 at 5:00 p.m., Denver, Colorado time, except with respect to, and to the extent of, any claim of which written notice specifying, in reasonable
detail, the nature and, to the extent known, amount of the claim has been given by one party to the other prior to such expiration; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties set forth in
(i) Section 3.1 (Corporate Organization), Section 3.2 (Capitalization), Section 3.3(a) (Authority; No Violation) and Section 3.19 (Broker’s Fees) (the

9.2 Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Article IX: 

(a) Several and Not Joint Indemnification. Each Seller shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser and
its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisers, representatives and Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) harmless from and after the Closing Date for the period set forth in Section 9.1 (including any
extension thereof as expressly provided for in such Section) from and against any Damages incurred or suffered by the Purchaser Indemnitees to the extent resulting or arising from: (i) any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties
made in Sections 3.3 (Authority; No Violation) and 3.4 (Consents and Approvals) by such Seller or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of such Seller made in Sections 6.7 (Non-Solicitation); 

(b) Joint and Several Indemnification. Each Seller shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold the Purchaser
Indemnitees harmless from and after the Closing Date for the period set forth in Section 9.1 (including any extension thereof as expressly provided for in such Section) from and against any Damages incurred or suffered by the Purchaser
Indemnitees to the extent resulting or arising from: 
 (i) any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties made
herein (other than any made in Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.14 related to the Investment Advisors Act and 3.21); 
 (ii) any inaccuracy
in any of the representations and warranties made in Section 3.14 related to the Investment Advisors Act or in Section 3.21); 
 (iii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made herein (other than any made in Section 6.7); and 
 (iv) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of (1) Company and the Company Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Period except to the extent that any such Taxes reduced the Purchase Price on account of
being taken into account as a liability in the calculation of Final Working Capital, (2) any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which Company or the Company Subsidiary (or any predecessor of any of the
foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury Regulations or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign law or regulation and (3) any Person (other than the

 39 









 
on the Company or the Company Subsidiary as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring in a
Pre-Closing Period. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification obligation set forth in clause (i) of this Section 9.2(b) shall
not apply to any Damages arising from any inaccuracy of the representations set forth in Sections 3.3 (Authority; No Violation) and 3.4 (Consents and Approvals), which are solely the subject of Section 9.2(a), above. 

(c) Deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) no Seller shall be liable to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnitees against
Damages pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) or 9.2(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of such Damages exceeds one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) of the Purchase Price, and then only to the extent applicable Damages exceed one and
one-quarter percent (1.25%) of the Purchase Price; provided, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to any breach of the Designated Seller Representations.

inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties made herein by Purchaser, and (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser made herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing with respect to Damages arising under this
Section 9.3 (and except for Damages resulting from breaches of the Designated Purchaser Representations), (i) Purchaser shall not be liable to indemnify Sellers Indemnitees against Damages pursuant to Section 9.3(a) unless and until
the aggregate amount of such Damages exceeds one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Purchase Price, and then only to the extent applicable Damages exceed one percent (1.0%) of the Purchase Price, and (ii) Purchaser’s maximum
liability to the Sellers Indemnitees for Damages pursuant to Section 9.3(a) shall not exceed forty percent (40%) of the Purchase Price. 

  
 40 









 9.4 Indemnification Procedure. 

(a) Promptly after the incurrence of any Damages by the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified
Party”), including, without limitation, any claim by a third party described in Section 9.4(d) hereof, which might give rise to indemnification hereunder or the discovery of any facts or circumstances that the Indemnified Party
believes may result in an indemnification claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) and all Sellers a certificate (the “Claim
Certificate”), which Claim Certificate shall: 
 (i) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued
Damages, or anticipates that it shall incur liability for Damages for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and 
 (ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Damages included in the amount so stated to the extent known, the date such item was paid or properly accrued (if applicable), the basis for any
anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount, if reasonably capable of computation to which such Indemnified
Party claims to be entitled hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such Claim Certificate shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have prejudiced the
Indemnifying Party. 
 (b) In case the Indemnifying Party shall object to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect
of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall, within 10 Business Days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Certificate, deliver to the Indemnified Party a written notice to such effect and
the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, within the 10 Business Day period beginning on the date of receipt by the Indemnified Party of such written objection, attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties
with respect to each of such claims to which the Indemnifying Party shall have so objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall succeed in reaching agreement on their respective rights with respect to any of such claims, the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or
amounts, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall submit such dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section 10.7. 
 (c) Claims for Damages specified in any Claim Certificate to which an Indemnifying Party shall not object in writing within 10 Business Days of receipt of such Claim Certificate, claims for Damages
covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in Section 9.4(b) and claims for Damages the validity and amount of which have been the subject of a Final Determination under Section 10.7, are hereinafter referred to,
collectively, as “Agreed Claims.” Within 10 Business Days of the determination of the amount of any Agreed Claims, subject to the limitations of this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount
equal to the Agreed Claim by cashier’s check or wire transfer to the bank account or accounts designated in writing by the Indemnified Party not less than one Business Day prior to such payment. Any such amount required to be paid by Sellers
shall be paid from the Escrow Amount, to the extent available. 

  
 41 









 (d) Promptly after the assertion by any third party of any claim against any Indemnified
Party that in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party may result in the incurrence by such Indemnified Party of Damages for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified
Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice describing in reasonable detail such claim and such Indemnifying Party may, at its option, assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against such claim (including the employment of
counsel, who shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party) at such Indemnifying Party’s expense. Any failure on the part of the Indemnified Party to provide prompt notice shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying
Party (except to the extent such failure prejudices the defense of such claim). Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume such control, and shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Indemnified
Party’s counsel, if (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed, within 15 Business Days after having been notified by the Indemnified Party of the existence of such claim as provided in the preceding sentence, to assume the defense of
such claim or to notify the Indemnified Party in writing that it shall assume the defense of such claim, (ii) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (iii) the named parties to
any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified
Party which are not available to, or the assertion of which would be adverse to the interests of, the Indemnified Party, or (iv) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by counsel that the assumption of such defense by the
Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interest (provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties, other than
local counsel). No Indemnifying Party shall be liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any settlement of any such action or claim effected without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, but if settled with the written consent of the
Indemnifying Party, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.4(d), the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of such claim if the settlement does not release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim,
the settlement is in excess of the maximum liability set forth in Section 9.2 or 9.3, as applicable, or the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
each agrees to fully cooperate in all matters covered by this Section 9.4(d), including, as required, the furnishing of books and records, personnel and witnesses and the execution of documents, in each case as necessary for any defense of such
third party claim and at no cost to the other party (provided that any reasonable out-of-pockets expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred in connection with the foregoing shall be considered part of Damages hereunder).

 9.5 Certain Offsets; Tax Treatment of Payments. For purposes of this Article IX,
“Damages” shall be net of any insurance or other recoveries payable to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification. In addition, any indemnification payment made pursuant
to this Article IX shall be reduced by the amount of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party through a reduction in Taxes otherwise due as a result of the Damages incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party. The parties
agree to treat any payment pursuant to this Article IX (other than the portion treated as interest) as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. 
 9.6 Pre-Closing Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement: 
 (a) All Taxes of
Company and the Company Subsidiaries for a Tax period that ends on or before the Closing Date shall be treated as relating to a Pre-Closing period. 
 (b) In the case of any payroll or similar Taxes, or any Taxes based upon or related to income or gross receipts or similar Taxes, that are payable with respect to a Tax period beginning before and ending
after the Closing Date, the portion of such Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing period shall be determined on the basis of a deemed closing of the books and records of Company at the end of the Closing Date; provided that annual exemptions, allowances
or deductions that are calculated on a periodic basis, such as the deduction for depreciation shall be prorated on a daily basis. 
 (c) In the case of any Taxes other than those described in Section 9.6(b) that are payable with respect to a Tax period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date, the portion of such Taxes
relating to a Pre-Closing period shall be equal to the product of all such Taxes multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period from the commencement of such period through and including the Closing Date and
the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period; provided, that appropriate adjustments shall be made to reflect specific events that can be identified and specifically allocated as occurring on or prior to the Closing
Date or occurring after the Closing Date (in which case, Purchaser shall be responsible for any Taxes related thereto). 
 9.7
Interpretation of Representations and Warranties. For purposes of determining the amount of an indemnification payment under this Article IX, each representation and warranty in this Agreement will be interpreted without reference or giving
effect to any materiality qualification or limitation set forth in such representation or warranty, including the terms “material”, “materially”, “in all material respects” and “Material Adverse Effect” (which
instead shall be read as any adverse effect). 
 9.8 Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing Date, this Article IX shall
provide the exclusive remedy for any of the matters addressed herein or other claims arising out of this Agreement, except in the case of common law fraud or with respect to matters for which the remedy of specific performance, injunctive relief or
other non-monetary equitable remedies are available.

Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 10.11 Post-Closing Releases. 

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, each Seller hereby releases and discharges each of Company and Company Subsidiary from any and all
claims, demands and causes of action, whether known or unknown, liquidated or contingent, relating to, arising out of or in any way connected with the dealings of Company and such Seller or Company Subsidiary and such Seller from the beginning of
time through the Closing, it being understood, however, that such release will not operate to release Purchaser from any indemnity obligations, if any, under Article IX. Each Seller acknowledges that the Laws of many states provide substantially the
following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER
SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Each Seller acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, each Seller agrees that, effective as of the Closing, such
Seller will be deemed to have waived any such provision. Each Seller further agrees that such Seller shall not (a) institute any action or proceeding based upon, arising out of, or relating to any of the released claims, (b) participate,
assist, or cooperate in any such action or proceeding or (c) encourage, assist or solicit any third party to institute any such action or proceeding. The foregoing provision shall not effect the waiver, release or impairment of any right of a
Seller pursuant to any continuing contractual arrangement existing as of the Closing Date between such Seller and Company and/or Company Subsidiary. 
 (b) Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause Company and Company Subsidiary to release and discharge each Seller from any and all claims, demands and causes of action, whether known or
unknown, liquidated or contingent, relating to, arising out of or in any way connected with the dealings of Company and such Seller or Company Subsidiary and such Seller from the beginning of time through the Closing, it being understood, however,
that such release will not operate to release such Seller from any indemnity obligations, if any, under Article IX. Purchaser acknowledges that the Laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO
CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Purchaser acknowledges that
such provisions are designed to protect a party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, Purchaser agrees that, effective as of the Closing, Company and Company Subsidiary will be deemed to have waived any such
provision. Purchaser further agrees that it will cause Company and Company Subsidiary not to (a) institute any action or proceeding based upon, arising out of, or relating to any of the released claims, (b) participate, assist, or
cooperate in any such action or proceeding or (c) encourage, assist or solicit any third party to institute any such action or proceeding. The foregoing provision shall not effect the waiver, release or impairment of any right of Company or
Company Subsidiary pursuant to any continuing contractual arrangement existing as of the Closing Date between Company or Company Subsidiary and such Seller.
