 STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
 This Stock Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of January 8, 2009, among (a) DELL MARKETING USA L.P., a
Texas limited partnership (“Buyer”); (b) ALLIN CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”); (c) ALLIN INVESTMENT – CAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (“CA Seller”), and ALLIN
INVESTMENT – DELAWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“PA Seller” and, together with CA Seller, the “Sellers” and each a “Seller”); and (d) ALLIN CORPORATION OF CALIFORNIA, a California
corporation (“CA Company”), and ALLIN CONSULTING OF PENNSYLVANIA, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (“PA Company” and, together with CA Company, the “Companies” and each a
“Company”). Unless otherwise specified, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement will have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A. 
 BACKGROUND 
 CA Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CA Company and PA
Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PA Company. In accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Parties desire to consummate a series of transactions in which
(a) Buyer will acquire from the Sellers all of the Shares; (b) Buyer will pay the consideration set forth herein to the Sellers for the Shares; and (c) the Parties will take certain other actions ancillary to the transactions
described above. In order to provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated above, the Parties are entering into this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE I 
 THE ACQUISITION 
 1.1 Share Purchase. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, and upon the basis of the agreements, covenants and representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Sellers hereby
sell, transfer and convey to Buyer, free and clear of all Liens, and Buyer hereby purchases and acquires from the Sellers, all of the Shares. 
 1.2 Purchase Price. Subject to the Indemnification Holdback Amount described in Section 1.4, the aggregate consideration for the Shares is $12,000,000 minus (a) the amounts to be paid pursuant to
Section 1.3(a) and plus or minus, as applicable, (b) the Closing Adjustment Amount (such aggregate consideration, as so adjusted, the “Purchase Price”). 
 1.3 Closing Payments. At the Closing or as soon as practicable after the Closing, Buyer will pay or cause to be paid the following amounts
by wire transfers of immediately available funds: 
 (a) to each holder of Indebtedness set forth on
Schedule 1.3(a), to an account designated by such creditor in writing, the amount of Indebtedness specified in such creditor’s Pay-Off Letter; and 
 (b) to the Sellers, to the account(s) designated by the Sellers prior to Closing, an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price
minus the Indemnification Holdback Amount. 
  

 1 








 Each Seller agrees that the applicable payments set forth in this ARTICLE I (including the payments under
Sections 1.3(b) and 1.6) and Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement constitute the sole consideration to be received by the Sellers and their Affiliates for all of the Shares and all other ownership interests in the
Companies, and that the Sellers and each of their Affiliates have waived or hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any rights or claims to receive any other consideration for the Shares and any other ownership interests in the Companies under
any conflicting or contrary agreements, covenants or provisions contained in any Contract or Company Charter Documents. 
 1.4
Indemnification Holdback Amount. An amount equal to $1,500,000 (the “Indemnification Holdback Amount”) is hereby withheld by Buyer at the Closing and will be held by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Buyer is
entitled to retain and subtract from the Indemnification Holdback Amount (a) the amount that Buyer is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.6(d)(x) and (b) the amount of any Indemnified Losses for which the Seller Parties
are obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party under ARTICLE VIII. 
 1.5 Closing Adjustment Amount. The Companies
have delivered to Buyer an estimated balance sheet of the Companies and their consolidated Subsidiaries at and as of 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance
Sheet”), which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and sets forth a good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital. The Closing Date Balance Sheet was prepared by the Companies in accordance with GAAP. As used herein, the
“Closing Adjustment Amount” means an amount equal to (a) the Net Working Capital as set forth on the Closing Date Balance Sheet minus (b) $1,600,000. 
 1.6 Final Adjustment Amount. 
 (a) As promptly as practicable, but in any event within 90 days after the Closing Date, Parent will prepare and deliver to Buyer a balance sheet of the Companies and their consolidated Subsidiaries at and as of 11:59 p.m. (Eastern
time) on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Final Balance Sheet”), which will set forth the Net Working Capital and Long-Term Liabilities. The Final Balance Sheet will be prepared in accordance with GAAP. Buyer and
its representatives, including Buyer’s independent accountants, will be entitled to review all workpapers of Parent and the Companies and their representatives, including their independent accountants, prepared in connection with the delivery
of the Final Balance Sheet. 
 (b) Buyer will have 15 days following delivery of the Final Balance Sheet to Buyer to deliver to
Parent written notice (the “Objection Notice”) of its objections to the Final Balance Sheet (such Objection Notice must contain a statement describing each item in dispute, the amount of such item as determined by Buyer (and the
corresponding amount in dispute) and the basis of each objection, all in reasonable detail). If Buyer delivers the Objection Notice within such 15 day period, then Parent and Buyer will endeavor in good faith to resolve the objections for a
period not to exceed 15 days from the date of delivery of the Objection Notice. If at the end of such 15 day period there are any objections that remain in dispute, then the remaining objections in dispute will be submitted for resolution
to a “Big 4” independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Parent and Buyer or, if none of such “Big 4” accounting firms qualifies as being independent, then to any other nationally-recognized independent accounting firm
mutually 

  

 2 








 
acceptable to Parent and Buyer; provided, that if Parent and Buyer are unable to agree on the identity of such firm within 10 days after the
expiration of the 15-day good faith negotiation period, then each of Parent and Buyer shall select a nationally-recognized independent accounting firm within 5 days after the expiration of such 10-day period and such two firms shall, within 10 days
after the expiration of such 5-day period, then select a third nationally-recognized independent accounting firm to resolve the dispute (such selected firm, the “Referee”). Parent and Buyer will enter into reasonable and customary
arrangements for the services to be rendered by the Referee under this Section 1.6(b). The Referee will determine any unresolved items on the Final Balance Sheet within 30 days after the objections that remain in dispute are
submitted to it or such longer period as the Referee may reasonably require. If any remaining objections are submitted to the Referee for resolution, (i) each party will (A) furnish to the Referee such workpapers and other documents and
information relating to such objections as the Referee may request and are available to that party (or its independent public accountants), (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Referee in resolving any disputed matters
and (C) be afforded the opportunity to present to the Referee any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such determination with the Referee; (ii) the Referee will not assign a value to such
objection that is greater than the greatest value for such objection claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such objection claimed by either party; (iii) the determination by the Referee of the Final Balance Sheet, as set
forth in a written notice delivered to both parties by the Referee (the “Referee Report”), will be made in accordance with this Agreement and will be binding and conclusive on the parties and will constitute an arbitral award that
is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof; and (iv) the party whose aggregate claimed value of the matters submitted to the Referee for resolution is furthest from the
final aggregate value for such matters determined by the Referee will pay the fees and expenses of the Referee. 
 (c) The Final Balance
Sheet will become final, binding and conclusive upon Buyer, Parent and the Sellers for all purposes of this Agreement, upon the earliest to occur of the following: 
 (i) the mutual acceptance, in writing, by Buyer and Parent of the Final Balance Sheet, with such changes or adjustments thereto, if any,
as may be proposed by Buyer and consented to by Parent; 
 (ii) the expiration of 15 days after the delivery to Buyer of
the Final Balance Sheet without delivery of an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 1.6(b); and 
 (iii)
the delivery to Buyer and Parent by the Referee of the Referee Report. 
 (d) As used herein, the “Final Adjustment Amount”
means an amount equal to (i) the Net Working Capital as set forth on the Final Balance Sheet, minus (ii) the Net Working Capital as set forth on the Closing Date Balance Sheet and minus (iii) the Long-Term Liabilities
(to the extent not satisfied at Closing pursuant to Section 1.3(a)). To the extent that the Final Adjustment Amount is a positive number, Buyer will pay the Sellers an aggregate amount equal to the Final Adjustment Amount within
10 Business Days after the final determination of the Final Balance Sheet in accordance with Section 1.6(c). To the extent that the Final Adjustment 

  

 3 








 
Amount is a negative number, Parent or the Sellers will pay Buyer an amount equal to such deficiency (the “Deficiency Amount”) within
10 Business Days after the final determination of the Final Balance Sheet in accordance with Section 1.6(c); provided, however, that if Parent or the Sellers do not pay the Deficiency Amount to Buyer within such 10
Business Day period, then Buyer may elect in its sole discretion (x) to treat all or any portion of the Deficiency Amount as an Indemnified Loss, and if Buyer makes such election, then such amount will be deemed an Indemnified Loss, or
(y) offset all or any portion of the Deficiency Amount against any amounts payable by Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer) to Parent (or an Affiliate of Parent) under the Transition Services Agreement. For all Tax purposes, the Parties agree to
treat (and will cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any payment under this Section 1.6(d) as an adjustment to the Purchase Price payable to the Sellers for the Shares. 
 1.7 Interest. Any and all amounts due from Buyer, Parent or either Seller pursuant to this ARTICLE I will be payable without
interest, regardless of when paid. 
 1.8 Closing. The Closing will take place simultaneously with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement by the parties hereto on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”) at the offices of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., The Terrace 7, 2801 Via Fortuna, Suite 100, Austin, Texas 78746. The representations
and warranties of each party contained in ARTICLE II, ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV and ARTICLE V, as applicable, are made at and as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to have occurred and the Closing shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date hereof. 
 ARTICLE II 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES 
 REGARDING THE COMPANIES 
 The Sellers, the Companies and Parent, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to Buyer (with the understanding and acknowledgement that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement without being provided
with the representations and warranties set forth herein, and that these representations and warranties constitute an essential and determining element of this Agreement) that: 
 2.1 Organizational Matters. 
 (a) CA Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California. PA Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Each Company has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted and is duly qualified and in good standing to do business in each
jurisdiction set forth on Schedule 2.1(a), which jurisdictions represent every jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except where failure to be
so qualified would not have, or would not be reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 4 








 (b) Parent has delivered to Buyer true and complete copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws
or other organizational documents of each Company, in each case as amended to date and currently in effect (such instruments and documents, the “Company Charter Documents”). Neither Company is in violation of any of the provisions
of its Company Charter Documents. 
 (c) Schedule 2.1(c) sets forth a complete list naming each Person (each, a
“Subsidiary” and together, the “Subsidiaries”) in which either Company or any other Subsidiary owns, holds or has any interest in or right to acquire capital stock or other equity interests or ownership interests
and the jurisdiction of organization of each such Subsidiary. Each Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each Subsidiary has the requisite power and authority to
own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Each Subsidiary is duly qualified and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of
its properties makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Sellers have delivered to Buyer true and complete copies of the
certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other organizational documents of each Subsidiary, in each case as amended to date and currently in effect (such instruments and documents, the “Subsidiary Charter Documents” and, together
with the Company Charter Documents, the “Charter Documents”). No Subsidiary is in violation of any of the provisions of its Subsidiary Charter Documents. Schedule 2.1(c) sets forth a true and complete list of each record
and beneficial owner of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary, and the amount and type of each class or series of such capital stock or other equity interest held by each such Person. A Company owns 100% of the capital stock
or other equity interests or ownership interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of all Liens. There are no outstanding securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for capital stock or other equity interests or ownership interests
in either Company or any Subsidiary, or options, warrants or other rights to acquire capital stock or other equity interests or ownership interests in either Company or any Subsidiary. All outstanding capital stock or other equity interests or
ownership interests of the Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and non assessable and have not been issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights. There are no shares of capital stock or other securities, options,
warrants, calls, rights, commitments, agreements, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which any Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates is a party or by which any of them are bound obligating any Subsidiary to (i) issue, deliver or sell,
or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, shares of capital stock or other securities of a Subsidiary, (ii) issue, grant, extend or enter into any such security, option, warrant, call, right, commitment, agreement, arrangement or undertaking or
(iii) issue or distribute to holders of any shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary any evidences of indebtedness or assets of any Subsidiary. No Subsidiary is under any obligation to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of its
capital stock or any interest therein or to pay any dividend or make any other distribution with respect thereto. For purposes of ARTICLE II, ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV and ARTICLE VI, unless the context
dictates otherwise, all references to a Company will also include and be references to each of its Subsidiaries and all references to the Companies will also include and be references to each of the Subsidiaries. 
  

 5 








 (d) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(d), there are no outstanding powers of attorney
executed by or on behalf of either Company. 
 2.2 Capital Structure. 
 (a) (i) The authorized capital stock of CA Company consists of 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the
“CA Common Stock”). The authorized capital stock of PA Company consists of 500,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “PA Common Stock”). 
 (ii) At the date hereof, (A) there are 100 shares of CA Common Stock issued and outstanding; (B) there are 1,040 shares of
PA Common Stock issued and outstanding; and (C) neither Company has any other issued or outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests or ownership interests. No Shares are reserved for issuance for any purpose. All of the Shares
are owned and held beneficially and of record by Seller and have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to any preemptive rights. 
 (iii) No shares of CA Common Stock, PA Common Stock or other capital stock or other equity interests or ownership interests of either
Company are held as treasury stock or are owned by either Company. 
 (iv) No Person will be entitled to receive a portion of
the Purchase Price, other than the Sellers. 
 (v) Upon Buyer’s acquisition of the Shares at Closing pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Companies and all securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable into capital stock of the Companies, free and clear of
any Liens. 
 (b) There are no shares of capital stock or other securities, options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments, agreements,
arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which either Company or any of their Affiliates is a party or by which any of them are bound obligating either Company to (i) issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, shares
of capital stock or other securities of either Company, (ii) issue, grant, extend or enter into any such security, option, warrant, call, right, commitment, agreement, arrangement or undertaking or (iii) issue or distribute to holders of
any shares of capital stock of either Company any evidences of indebtedness or assets of either Company. Neither Company is under any obligation to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of its capital stock or any interest therein or to
pay any dividend or make any other distribution with respect thereto. Parent has furnished to Buyer complete and accurate copies of each Parent Equity Plan, and Schedule 2.2(b) sets forth each employee, officer, director or agent of
either Company entitled to a benefit under a Parent Equity Plan, together with a description of such benefit, as applicable. Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates are party to any Contract, including any plan or arrangement, under which any
officer, director, employee or agent of either Company has or may have any right to a bonus, payment or other consideration that is contingent on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Transaction Bonus”). For the
avoidance of doubt, the retention incentives to be put in place at or around Closing by Buyer are not Transaction Bonuses. 
  

 6 








 (c) All Shares have been issued in compliance with all Applicable Laws. 
 2.3 Authority and Due Execution. 
 (a) Each Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by each Company, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such
Company and no other corporate proceedings on the part of such Company are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by such Company or to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 (b) This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which either Company is a party has been duly
executed and delivered by each Company party thereto and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Company, enforceable against such Company in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforceability to (i) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at
law or in equity) (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”). 
 2.4 Non-Contravention and Consents.

 (a) The execution and delivery by the Companies of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document does not, and the performance by the
Companies of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document will not, result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or acceleration of any obligation or the loss of a benefit under, any
termination or right of termination or cancellation of, or any right of purchase under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company under, any provision of (i) the Charter Documents, (ii) any
loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, permit, franchise or license to which a Company is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties or assets are bound, (iii) any Applicable Law or
(iv) any Significant Contract. 
 (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(b), no Consent under any Significant Contract is
required to be obtained in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by the Companies or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 (c) No Consent of any national, state, municipal, provisional, local or foreign government, any instrumentality, subdivision, department, ministry,
board, court, administrative agency or commission, the European Union, or other governmental entity or instrumentality or political subdivision thereof, or any quasi-governmental or private body exercising any executive, legislative, judicial,
regulatory, taxing, importing or other governmental functions (a “Governmental Entity”) is required to be obtained or made by a Company in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document by the Companies or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 2.5 Financial Statements. 
 (a) The financial statements of Parent included in the Parent SEC Documents, including all notes and schedules thereto, complied in all material respects,
when filed or if amended prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of such amendment, with the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods
involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of the unaudited statements, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC) and fairly present in all material respects in accordance with applicable
requirements of GAAP (subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to normal, recurring adjustments, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, is material) the financial position of Parent as of their respective dates and the results of
operations and the cash flows of Parent for the periods presented therein. 
 (b) Parent has delivered to Buyer the consolidating financial
statements of Parent that includes the financial statements (consisting of a balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows) of each of the Companies for each of the quarters ended
March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, that occurred during the period from January 1, 2004 through the date hereof, and the notes thereto (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). The
Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly and accurately present in all material respects the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Companies as of the dates, and for the periods,
indicated therein. Each Company maintains a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP including complete books and records in written or electronic form. 
 (c) Except as disclosed or provided for in the Financial Statements (including the notes thereto), neither Company has any liabilities, whether accrued,

the date of the most recent Financial Statements and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not required under GAAP to be reflected in the Financial Statements, which liabilities

 2.6 Indebtedness. Each Company has been released in full from each Parent Credit Facility,
is no longer a party thereto or bound thereby and has no obligation, liability or cost with respect thereto. Subject solely to the payment by Buyer of the amounts contemplated by Section 1.3(a), no property or asset of any type of either
Company and none of the Shares are subject to any Lien of any nature pursuant to any provision of any Parent Credit Facility. Neither Company has any Indebtedness of any type (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, matured, unmatured or other and
whether or not required to be reflected in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP) that is not fully set forth on Schedule 2.6. Schedule 2.6 sets forth each item of Indebtedness identifying the creditor,
including name and address, the type of instrument under which the Indebtedness is owed and the amount of the Indebtedness as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof. With respect to each item of
Indebtedness, neither Company is in default, no payments are past due, and no circumstance exists that, with notice, the passage of time or both, could constitute a default by either Company under any item of Indebtedness. None of Parent, the
Sellers and the Companies has received any notice of a default, alleged failure to perform or any offset or counterclaim with respect to any item of Indebtedness that has not been fully remedied and withdrawn. Other than as set forth on
Schedule 2.6, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which either Company is a party will not cause a default, a breach or an acceleration, automatic or otherwise, of any
conditions, covenants or any other terms of any item of Indebtedness. Neither Company is a guarantor or otherwise liable for any liability or obligation (including Indebtedness) of any other Person. Parent, the Sellers and the Companies have
obtained and delivered to Buyer from each Person set forth on Schedule 1.3(a) a pay-off letter (each a “Pay-Off Letter”) setting forth (a) the amounts required to pay off in full at the Closing the Indebtedness
owing to such creditor (including the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and prepayment and other penalties), (b) upon payment of such amounts, (i) a complete release of the Companies and Buyer from any and all liabilities
and obligations arising out of the Indebtedness owing to such creditor, (ii) a complete release and termination of all of such creditor’s Liens and security interests held on any of either Company’s assets or properties,
(iii) the authorization of the applicable Company and Buyer to terminate and release all Liens and security interests and to file all applicable Uniform Commercial Code termination statements related to such Indebtedness and (iv) that all

Buyer.

the only votes or consents of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of either Seller or either Company necessary to approve this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

(c) This Agreement and such Transaction Documents and the consummation by Parent of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby have been duly and
validly executed and delivered by Parent and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject, as to enforceability, to the Enforceability Exceptions. 
 4.3 Non-Contravention and Consents. 
 (a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by Parent do not, and the performance of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by Parent will not, (i) conflict with or violate any


  

 30 








 
organizational documents or bylaws of Parent; (ii) conflict with or violate any Applicable Laws; or (iii) result in any breach of or constitute a
default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or impair the rights of Parent or alter the rights or obligations of any third party under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on any of the Shares pursuant to, any obligation to which Parent is a party or by which Parent may be bound. 
 (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(b), no Consent under any Significant Contract is required to be obtained by Parent or any Affiliate
of Parent in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by Parent or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by Parent. 
 (c) No Consent of any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by Parent or any Affiliate of Parent in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by Parent or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by Parent. 
 4.4 Certain Contracts. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.4, neither Parent, nor any Affiliate of Parent, is indebted to either Company, nor is a Company indebted (or committed to make loans
or advances or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them. Neither Parent, nor any Affiliate of Parent, has any direct or indirect ownership interest in (a) any Person with which a Company is Affiliated or with which a Company has a business
relationship or (b) any Person that competes with either Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.4, neither Parent, nor any Affiliate of Parent, is, directly or indirectly, a party to or interested in any Contract with a Company
or its Affiliates or any Contract in any manner relating to or in any way affecting Parent’s interests in the Companies. 
 4.5
Internal Controls. Parent has established and maintains a process of internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). Management of Parent, under the supervision of its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of Parent’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the last fiscal
period covered by the Financial Statements based on the framework in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its evaluation, management of
Parent has concluded that (a) there are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of Parent’s internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Parent’s
ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information to management and Parent’s board of directors or other governing body; (b) there is no fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who
have a significant role in Parent’s internal control over financial reporting; and (c) Parent’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. Since the most recent evaluation of Parent’s internal control over financial
reporting described above, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Parent’s internal control over financial reporting. 
 4.6 Brokers’ and Finders’ Fees. Except for the fees and expenses payable to Focus LLC, which are payable solely by Parent, Parent
has not incurred, nor will it incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or 

  

 31 








 
any similar charges in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which Parent is a party or any transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby. 
 4.7 Litigation. There is no Legal Proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened against Parent
relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. 
 4.8 Solvency. Neither
Parent nor either Seller or either Company is entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors. At and immediately after the Closing, and after giving
effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Companies) (a) will be solvent (in that both the fair value of their assets will not be less than the sum
of their debts and that the present fair saleable value of their assets will not be less than the amount required to pay their probable liability on their debts as they become absolute and matured); (b) will have adequate capital and liquidity
with which to engage in their business; and (c) will not have incurred and do not plan to incur debts beyond their ability to pay as they become absolute and matured.

insurance (the “D&O Policy”) in favor of Parent and each Person who is entitled to indemnification as a director, officer or employee of Parent (such Persons, together with Parent, the “Covered Persons”) for
actions or circumstances occurring prior to and including the Closing for at least a 36-month period from the date hereof, which D&O Policy will provide coverage to the Covered Persons not less than the existing coverage under, and have other
terms not materially less favorable than, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by Parent. Such D&O Policy will be on a “claims made” basis. If during such 36-month period
(a) Parent institutes or consents to the institution of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, (b) Parent makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (c) Parent applies for or consents to the appointment of any receiver,
trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer for it or for all or any material part of its property, (d) any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer is appointed

to alter the terms of its D&O Policy to provide coverage materially less favorable to the Covered Persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by Parent, Parent will purchase an extended
reporting period endorsement under such D&O Policy (the “D&O Tail”) for the Covered Persons in a form acceptable to Buyer, which will provide the Covered Persons with coverage for 36 months from the date of purchase of the
D&O Tail of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable to, the Covered Persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by Parent.

 6.4
Tax Covenants and Agreements. 
 (a) With respect to any Consolidated Return and any Tax Return covering a Pre-Closing Tax Period
with respect to either Company, Parent will cause such Tax Return to be prepared at Parent’s expense. Not later than 30 days prior to the due date (including any extension) for the filing of each such Tax Return (other than a Consolidated
Return) (i) Parent will deliver a copy of such Tax Return to Buyer for its review and consent and (ii) not later than five days prior to the due date for the payment of Tax with respect to each such Tax Return, Parent will pay to Buyer the

due date for the payment of Tax with respect to each such Tax Return, Parent will pay to Buyer the amount of any Indemnified Tax Losses with respect to such Tax Return. 
 (c) In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of any such Tax that is attributable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date will be: 
 (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts or (B) imposed in connection with any
sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Taxable years of either Company (and each partnership in which either Company is a partner) ended
with (and included) the Closing Date; provided, that all exemptions, allowances, or deductions for the Straddle Period that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) will be
allocated in proportion to the number of days in each period; and 
 (ii) in the case of Taxes that are imposed on a periodic
basis with respect to the assets of either Company, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied
by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. 
 (d) Parent and each Seller agrees that, if requested by Buyer, Parent and each Seller will join Buyer in making a timely, irrevocable and effective
election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and any similar provision of state or local law (each, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to Buyer’s purchase of either or both of the Companies. To facilitate
such election, at the Closing, Parent and each Seller shall deliver to Buyer IRS Forms 8023 or successor forms and any similar forms under state or local law (each a “Form 8023”) with respect to Buyer’s purchase of each of the
Companies, which Forms 8023 shall have been duly executed by authorized persons on behalf of Parent and each Seller. If Buyer elects to make one or more Section 338(h)(10) Elections, prior to the due date thereof, Buyer shall (i) notify
Parent by delivering a notice by October 15, 2009 in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D signed by Dell Inc.’s chief tax officer, (ii) cause the applicable Form 8023 to be duly executed by an authorized
person for Buyer; (iii) complete the schedules required to be attached thereto (including providing appropriate information for each entity for which Buyer elects to make a Section 338(h)(10) Election); (iv) provide a copy of the
executed Form 8023 and schedules to Parent and each Seller; and (v) duly and timely file the Form 8023 as prescribed by Treasury Regulations Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 or applicable provision under state or local law. If Buyer elects to make a
Section 338(h)(10) Election, the Companies, the Sellers and Parent will file all Tax Returns (such as IRS Form 8883 or any other forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 338 of the Code or any comparable provisions of
state or local law) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Tax Allocation, as finally determined, except as otherwise required by a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code. 
  

 35 








 (e) Buyer and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon an allocation of the
Purchase Price among the Shares of each Company (the “Purchase Price Allocation”) within 90 days after the Closing Date, which allocation of the Purchase Price shall not allocate less than $6,300,000 nor more than $9,300,000 to the
Shares of PA Company (such amounts to be appropriately adjusted to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price hereunder). If a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, Buyer shall provide to Parent and each Seller an allocation of the Purchase
Price and the liabilities of the relevant Company (plus other relevant items) among the assets of such Company pursuant to Section 338 of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the “Tax Allocation”), which Tax Allocation
(i) shall be consistent with any agreed Purchase Price Allocation, or (ii) if the Purchase Price Allocation has not been agreed to by Buyer and Parent, shall be consistent with an allocation of not less than $6,300,000 nor more than
$9,300,000 of the Purchase Price to the Shares of PA Company (such amounts to be appropriately adjusted to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price hereunder). Buyer shall adjust the Tax Allocation to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase
Price hereunder and shall provide Parent and each Seller with a copy of the revised Tax Allocation. 
 (f) In the event that a
Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, Buyer shall indemnify the Seller Parties for any Seller Incremental Tax Costs resulting from such Section 338(h)(10) Election; provided, that, the aggregate amount payable by Buyer pursuant to this
Section 6.4(f) shall not exceed (i) $644,000 reduced by (ii) the amount of any Buyer Incremental Tax Costs for which the Buyer has not been indemnified by Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, any Tax Proceeding (or portion
thereof) involving Seller Incremental Tax Costs shall be a Third Party Action governed by the provisions set forth in Section 8.2. 
 (g) Buyer and the Seller Parties will cooperate fully, and will cause the Companies to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with (i) the estimation, computation or determination
of any Incremental Taxes, (ii) the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 6.4 and (iii) any audit, litigation or other proceeding (each a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation will
include the retention and (upon the other party’s request and at the other party’s cost and expense) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a
mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the conduct and control of any Tax Proceeding that is a Third Party Action will be governed by
Section 8.2. 
 (h) Parent and the Sellers will be responsible for the payment of all transfer, sales, use, stamp, registration
or other similar Taxes resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transfer Taxes”). 
 6.5
Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition. 
 (a) (i) Parent and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that the proprietary
information of the Companies includes confidential data pertaining to customers of the Companies, that such data and goodwill are valuable and unique assets of the 

  

 36 








 
Companies’ business and that the success or failure of the Companies’ highly specialized business is dependent in large part upon the ability of
the Companies and their Affiliates to establish and maintain close and continuing personal contacts and working relationships with such customers, and to develop proposals that are specifically devised, refined, and adjusted to meet, satisfy, and
coincide with the interests and requirements of such customers. Moreover, Parent and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that they are heavily identified with the goodwill of the Companies and their Affiliates, which goodwill Buyer is purchasing, and
Parent and the Sellers are selling, in connection with Buyer’s purchase of the Companies and their assets. Therefore, for the duration of the Restricted Period, Parent and each Seller will not, and Parent will ensure that its Affiliates and any
Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Parent or any of its Affiliates will not, for any reason, individually or collectively or in conjunction with others, directly or indirectly: (A) solicit or
encourage (or assist another in soliciting or encouraging) any Covered Customer to terminate such customer’s relationship with either Company or any of their Affiliates, (B) solicit or encourage (or assist another in soliciting or
encouraging) any Covered Customer located anywhere within San Francisco, California or within 200 miles thereof or within Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania or within 120 miles thereof (the “Restricted Area”) to become a customer of Parent, a
Seller or any other Person, if Parent, such Seller or such other Person offers products or services which are competitive with those offered by either Company, or (C) provide products or services that are competitive with those offered by
either Company to a Covered Customer located anywhere within the Restricted Area to which either Company or any of their Affiliates provided such products or services; provided, however, that subsections (B) and
(C) shall not restrict the activities of Parent or a Seller, their Affiliates or any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Parent or any of its Affiliates, with respect to any office of a
Covered Customer that is located outside of the Restricted Area as long as the decision making by the Covered Customer with respect to such activities are made by person(s) whose primary office(s) are located outside the Restricted Area. 

(ii) Parent and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that the success of the Companies’ business is dependent in large part upon the
ability of the Companies and their Affiliates to attract, hire, and retain experienced and qualified employees. Moreover, Parent and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that the employees of the Companies and their Affiliates associate Parent and the
Sellers with the goodwill of the Companies and their Affiliates, and Parent and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that they possess confidential information regarding the employees of the Companies and their Affiliates (such as compensation
information, information regarding relative skills and abilities, etc.). Therefore, for the duration of the Restricted Period, Parent and the Sellers will not, and Parent will ensure that its Affiliates and any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under common control with Parent or any of its Affiliates will not, for any reason, individually or collectively or in conjunction with others, on Parent’s own behalf or on behalf of any other Person, directly or
indirectly: (A) solicit (or assist another in soliciting) the services of any Covered Employee of, or consultant or contractor then providing services full-time to, Buyer, either Company or any of their Affiliates; (B) solicit or encourage
(or assist another in soliciting or encouraging) any 

  

 37 








 
Covered Employee of, or consultant or contractor then providing services full-time to, Buyer, either Company or any of their Affiliates to terminate their
employment or agency with Buyer, either Company or any of their Affiliates; or (C) hire or employ any Covered Employee of Buyer, either Company or any of their Affiliates. 
 (b) For the duration of the Restricted Period, Parent and the Sellers will not, and Parent will ensure that its Affiliates and any Person directly or
indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with Parent or any of its Affiliates will not, anywhere within the Restricted Area, directly or indirectly manage, operate, control, participate in, engage in, or become interested in or
connected with in any way with (including as a partner, stockholder, investor, owner, director, officer, employee, agent, or consultant), or lend any money to or guaranty any obligations of any Person that is engaged in the Business. 
 (c) Parent and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that damages alone would be an insufficient remedy for Buyer, the Companies and their Affiliates, and
that Buyer, the Companies and their Affiliates would suffer irreparable injury, if Parent or a Seller violated this Section 6.5. Accordingly, Buyer, the Companies and their Affiliates, upon application to a court of competent
jurisdiction, will be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.5 in the event of any breach, or threatened breach, of its terms. The Seller Parties will reimburse Buyer, the Companies and their Affiliates
for any costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by the Buyer, the Companies and their Affiliates in connection therewith. Buyer’s, the Companies’ and their Affiliates’ right to seek injunctive relief pursuant to
this Section 6.5(c) will be in addition to any other remedies that they may have at law or in equity. If an action is brought to enforce the covenants in this Section 6.5, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its
reasonable expenses of suit, including attorneys’ fees. No waiver of any violation of this Agreement will be implied from any failure by Buyer, the Companies or their Affiliates to take action under this Section 6.5(c). 

(d) Although Buyer, the Companies, the Sellers and Parent understand and believe that the limitations as to time, geographical area, and scope of
activity contained in this Section 6.5 are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interest of Buyer, the Companies and their Affiliates, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines this is not the case, such limitations will be reformed to the extent necessary to make such limitations reasonable and not to impose a restraint that is greater than necessary to protect the goodwill or other business
interest of Buyer, the Companies and their Affiliates. 
 6.6 Employee Matters. 
 (a) Effective as of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, with respect to any Company Benefit Plan that either Company sponsors or in which any
employees and/or service providers of one or both of the Companies participate or in which either Company has liability, the Companies have taken such action as necessary to terminate any such sponsorship and/or participation (except as may be
required by Applicable Law) and, on and after such date, neither Company shall have any material liability, whether direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise, associated with any Company Benefit Plan; provided, however, that Buyer
will cause a plan containing a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Buyer 401(k) 

  

 38 








 
Plan”) to accept rollovers (but not rollover loans) from any Company Benefit Plan that is a 401(k) plan to the extent provided in such Buyer
401(k) Plan. Buyer has received evidence that such Company Benefit Plans and/or participation in such Company Benefit Plans have been terminated (effective as of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Boards
of Directors of the Seller and the Companies 
 (b) As of the Closing, Buyer will provide the employees of the Companies who are employed by
Buyer or one of its subsidiaries (including the Companies) after the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”) with comparable types and levels of employee benefits as those provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer
pursuant to the terms of the employee benefit arrangements of Buyer (such arrangements the “Buyer Benefit Arrangements”). For purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of
service is relevant under the Buyer Benefit Arrangements (other than a defined benefit plan) and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and subject to any applicable break in service or similar rule, Buyer will provide that the Continuing
Employees will receive service credit under the Buyer Benefit Arrangements for their period of service with the Companies prior to the Closing except where doing so would cause a duplication of benefits. Buyer will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause any and all pre-existing condition (or actively at work or similar) limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any Buyer Benefit Arrangements that are group health plans to be waived
with respect to such Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents in accordance with applicable laws and will provide them with credit for any co-payments, deductibles, and offsets (or similar payments) made during the plan year including the
Closing Date for the purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible, out-of-pocket, or similar requirements under any Buyer Benefit Arrangements in which they are eligible to participate after the Closing Date; provided, however,
that, as a precondition on Buyer’s obligation to provide such credit, the administrator of the relevant Buyer employee benefit plans will have first received from each affected Continuing Employee a complete and accurate listing of such
expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee from the first day of the applicable plan year in which the Closing Date occurs through the date on which his or her participation in such Buyer plans commences. Nothing in this Section 6.6
will prevent Buyer from changing its compensation structure or employee benefit programs or obligate Buyer to provide any particular type or amount of compensation or benefits to any employee, including any Continuing Employee, or will be construed
as resulting in any Continuing Employee being employed other than on an “at will” basis or as obligating Buyer to employ any Continuing Employee for any length of time following the Effective Time. 
 6.7 Filing of Satisfaction of Judgment. Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts at
Parent’s expense to cause the Acknowledgment of Satisfaction of Judgment related to the Judgment Lien, File No. 2001-0356858-00, filed on November 20, 2001 in Contra Costa County, California, evidencing Independent Electric Supply,
Inc. as the secured party, to be recorded with Contra Costa County, California, and/or take such other actions as are necessary to cause such Judgment Lien to be released and discharged.

 (a) Indemnification by Seller Parties. Subject to the provisions of this
ARTICLE VIII, from and after the Closing, the Seller Parties, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Indemnified Losses. All materiality qualifications
contained in Parent’s, the Sellers’ and/or the Companies’ representations and warranties made in ARTICLE II, ARTICLE III or ARTICLE IV of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including
the term “Material Adverse Effect”, will be taken into account under this ARTICLE VIII solely for purposes of determining whether a breach or violation or such representation or warranty has occurred for which an indemnity

indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses sustained, suffered or incurred by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties in connection with, or relative to, or arising out of (i) any breach or
default by Buyer of any of its representations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Transition Services Agreement) executed in connection herewith, or (ii) any breach or default in the performance by either
Company (solely with respect to covenants or agreements to be performed after the Closing) or Buyer of any of their covenants or agreements under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Transition Service Agreement) executed
in connection herewith (collectively, “Seller Indemnified Losses”). 
 8.2 Defense of Third Party Claims. An
Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE VII will give prompt written notice to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement or assertion of any action, proceeding, demand, or claim by a
third party in respect of which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder (collectively, a 

  

 41 








 
“Third Party Action”). Any failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability
that it may have to such Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VIII unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indemnifying Party will have
the right to assume control of the defense of, settle, or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Action on such terms as it deems appropriate; provided, that: 
 (a) The Indemnified Party will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Action (provided, that the Indemnifying Party will pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees of
the Indemnified Party if (i) the employment of separate counsel will have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Action; (ii) the Indemnifying Party has not employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to have charge of such Third Party Action and, within a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from the Indemnifying Party of such dissatisfaction, the Indemnifying Party has
neither addressed the Indemnified Party’s objections to such counsel nor engaged other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; or (iii) the Indemnified Party’s counsel will have advised the Indemnified Party in
writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that (A) there is a conflict of interest that could be reasonably be expected make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel or
(B) there are bona fide defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; 
 (b) The Indemnifying Party will obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party (i) before entering into or making any settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of the validity of such Third
Party Action or any liability in respect thereof or entailing any relief that is injunctive, equitable or non-monetary in nature against the Indemnified Party or (ii) in the event that the Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnified Party, before
entering into or making any settlement, compromise, admission or acknowledgment entailing relief that exceeds the then remaining Indemnification Holdback Amount; provided, that in the case of subclause (ii), such written approval will
not be unreasonably delayed or withheld if (1) the Seller Parties have acknowledged and admitted in writing to the Buyer Indemnified Parties that all Losses relating to such Third Party Action are Indemnified Losses for which the Seller Parties
are solely liable pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII (including any amounts that would otherwise exceed the limits in Sections 8.6 and 8.7(a)) and (2) the Seller Parties have demonstrated to Buyer’s reasonable
satisfaction that they have the financial means to pay all of such Indemnified Losses. 
 (c) The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability; and 
 (d) The Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to control (but will be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the
Indemnified Party will be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of any Third Party Action (i) relating to any Tax to be collected from an Indemnified Party or an Affiliate of an
Indemnified Party; (ii) as to which the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within a reasonable length of time after written notice has been provided to the Indemnifying Party thereof; (iii) as to which the Indemnifying Party
does not promptly acknowledge 

  

 42 








 
and admit in writing to the Indemnified Party that all Losses relating to such Third Party Action are Indemnified Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is
solely liable pursuant hereto; (iv) to the extent the Third Party Action seeks any relief against the Indemnified Party that is injunctive, equitable or non-monetary in nature or (v) in the event that the Indemnified Party is a Buyer
Indemnified Party, as to which the requested damages and rewards exceed the then remaining Indemnification Holdback Amount unless the Seller Parties have acknowledged and admitted in writing to the Buyer Indemnified Parties that all Losses relating
to such Third Party Action are Indemnified Losses for which the Seller Parties are solely liable pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII (including any amounts that would otherwise exceed the limits in Sections 8.6 and 8.7(a)),
and the Seller Parties have demonstrated to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction that they have the financial means to pay all of such Indemnified Loss. 
 The parties hereto will extend reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense of any Third Party Action pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII and, in connection therewith, will furnish such records, information and testimony and
attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested. 
 8.3 Direct
Claims. In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder that is not subject to Section 8.2 because no Third Party Action is involved, the Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party in writing,
in the case of a Buyer Indemnified Party, of any Indemnified Losses that such Buyer Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof or, in the case of a Seller Indemnified Party, of any Seller Indemnified Losses that
such Seller Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VIII and in Section 9.1, the failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise
promptness in such notification will not amount to a waiver of such claim unless the resulting delay materially and adversely prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim. 
 8.4 No Contribution or Circular Indemnification. Each of the Seller Parties hereby waives and releases any and all rights that it or any of
its Affiliates may have under this Agreement or otherwise to assert claims of contribution against Buyer or the Companies. Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein or in any other Contract, effective as of the Closing, each of the
Seller Parties also hereby waives and releases any and all rights that it may have under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any other Contract, any Charter Documents or otherwise for indemnification, contribution or reimbursement from
Buyer or either Company with respect to any matter that gives rise to an Indemnified Loss. 
 8.5 Procedures for Claims; Payment of
Indemnification Holdback Amount. 
 (a) Claims. Upon the making of any indemnification claim pursuant to this
ARTICLE VIII, the remaining amount of the Indemnification Holdback Amount will be reduced by the amount necessary to satisfy and pay such claim (each such amount, a “Pending Claims Amount”), and Buyer will only
thereafter distribute any Pending Claims Amounts in accordance with a Settlement Letter or a Final Court Order as provided in Section 8.5(b). 
 (b) Distributions. On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer will distribute to the Sellers an amount equal to (i) the Indemnification Holdback Amount, minus (b) the amount, if any,

a Final Court Order. Buyer will only distribute a Pending Claims Amount in accordance with a letter executed by Buyer and Parent settling in full the claim related to such Pending Claims Amount (a “Settlement Letter”) or a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction finally determining the amount, if any, of Indemnified Losses to which a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled for the claim related to such Pending Claims Amount (a “Final Court
Order”). 
 8.6 Minimum Loss. Except with respect to (a) claims for fraud or intentional or knowing

Seller and (f) claims for breaches or defaults by either Company (solely with respect to covenants or agreements to be performed at or prior to the Closing), either Seller or Parent of any of their covenants or agreements under this Agreement,
(i) the Seller Parties will only be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII for Indemnified Losses by offsetting against the Indemnification Holdback Amount pursuant to
Section 8.5 and (ii) the Buyer Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to be indemnified for any Indemnified Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of all Indemnified Losses (exclusive of amounts described in clause
(b) of this Section 8.6) exceeds $150,000 (the “Minimum Loss”); provided, that (x) the amounts described in clauses (a) and (c) through (f) of this
Section 8.6 will be included with the amount of any other Indemnified Losses (other than amounts described in clause (b) of this Section 8.6) for purposes of determining whether the Minimum Loss has been exceeded,
and (y) after the Minimum Loss is exceeded, the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to be paid the entire amount of any Indemnified Losses, including the Minimum Loss, subject to the limitations on recovery set forth in this Agreement.

 8.7 Additional Indemnification Limits. 
 (a) Except with respect to Indemnified Representation Losses that relate to or arise out of breaches of any representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1 (Organizational Matters),
Section 2.2 (Capital Structure), Section 2.3 (Authority and Due Execution), Section 3.1 (Owner of Shares), Section 3.2 (Authority and Due Execution), Section 4.1 (Owner of Shares) and
Section 4.2 (Authority and Due Execution), the maximum amount of Indemnified Representation Losses for which the Seller Parties will be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII will
be an amount equal to the Purchase Price. 
 (b) Except with respect to Seller Indemnified Losses that relate to or arise out of breaches of
any representations and warranties contained in Section 5.1 (Organization and Standing) and Section 5.2 (Authority and Due Execution), the maximum amount of Seller Indemnified Losses set forth in Section 8.1(b)(i)
for which Buyer will be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII will be an amount equal to the Purchase Price. 
  


 44 








 (c) If any claims for indemnification relating to any single matter or series of reasonably related or
reasonably similar matters results in aggregate Losses that do not exceed $2,500, such Losses shall not be eligible for indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII and shall not be considered in the calculation of the Minimum Loss.

 8.8 Tax Treatment. For all Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat (and will cause each of their respective Affiliates to
treat) any indemnification payment made under this ARTICLE VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. 
 ARTICLE IX 

 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 9.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties contained herein will be fully effective notwithstanding any investigations conducted by any Party or for and on behalf of any
Party, or of any information or knowledge any Party may have, in each case prior to, at or after the execution of this Agreement. Each of the representations and warranties made by Parent, the Sellers or the Companies in this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document (other than the Transition Services Agreement) will survive the Closing as provided below. The representations and warranties of Parent, the Sellers and the Companies set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
(other than the Transition Services Agreement) will terminate at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on the first anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that such time limitation will not apply to any of the following claims or to an Indemnified
Party’s rights to recover on such claims, and any representations and warranties relating thereto will survive until the date that is 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations: (a) claims for fraud or
intentional misrepresentation pursuant to Section 9.3 and (b) claims for breaches of any representations and warranties contained in the Excluded Representations. Following the date of termination of a representation or warranty, no
claim can be brought with respect to a breach of such representation or warranty, but no such termination will affect any claim for a breach of a representation or warranty that was asserted before the date of termination. Each of the covenants and
agreements contained in this Agreement and each other Transaction Document will survive the Closing indefinitely. 
 9.2 Further
Actions. After the Closing Date, each of the parties will execute and deliver such other certificates, agreements, conveyances, and other documents, and take such other action, as may be reasonably requested by any of the other parties in
order to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 9.3 No Waiver Relating to Claims for Fraud. The
liability of any Party under ARTICLE VIII will be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other liability that such Party may have at law or equity based on such Party’s fraudulent acts or omissions or intentional or knowing
misrepresentation. None of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions set forth in Section 9.1 and ARTICLE VIII, will be deemed a waiver by any Party to this Agreement of any right or remedy which
such Party may have at law or equity based on any other Party’s fraudulent acts or omissions or intentional or knowing misrepresentation, nor 

  

 45 








 
will any such provisions limit, or be deemed to limit, (a) the amounts of recovery sought or awarded in any such claim for fraud or intentional or
knowing misrepresentation; (b) the time period during which a claim for fraud or intentional or knowing misrepresentation may be brought, or (c) the recourse which any such Party may seek against another Party with respect to a claim for
fraud or intentional or knowing misrepresentation; provided, that with respect to such rights and remedies at law or equity, the parties further acknowledge and agree that none of the provisions of this Section 9.3, nor any
reference to this Section 9.3 throughout this Agreement, will be deemed a waiver of any defenses that may be available in respect of actions or claims for fraud, including defenses of statutes of limitations or limitations of damages.

 9.4 Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in writing
signed by Buyer and Parent, and any such amendment, modification or waiver will be binding on all Parties. 
 9.5 Waiver of
Compliance. Any failure by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Companies (prior to Closing), the Sellers or Parent, on the other hand, to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained herein may be waived only if set
forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound by such waiver (including, if such waiver is after the Closing, the third party beneficiaries set forth in Section 9.8), but such waiver or failure to insist
upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other failure. 
 9.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Applicable Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this
Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or
other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Governmental Entity making such determination is authorized and instructed to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in
order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 
 9.7
Expenses and Obligations. Each Party will bear all fees and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with, relating to or arising out of the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including financial advisors’, attorneys’, accountants’ and other professional fees and expenses; provided, that the Seller Parties will pay all Company Transaction Costs;
provided, further, that in the event of a dispute between the Parties in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Parties agrees that the prevailing Party will be entitled to reimbursement by
the non-prevailing Parties of reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding. 
 9.8 Parties
in Interest. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and their successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or
remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, that the Indemnified Parties will be third party beneficiaries of the indemnification rights set forth in ARTICLE VIII, entitled to enforce such
rights as if they were a party hereto.

any ambiguities in this Agreement against any Party that draft it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived. 
 (b) All references
in this Agreement to Exhibits, Schedules, Articles, Sections, subsections and other subdivisions refer to the corresponding Exhibits, Schedules, Articles, Sections, subsections and other subdivisions of this Agreement unless expressly provided
otherwise. Titles appearing at the beginning of any Articles, Sections, subsections or other subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute any part of such Articles, Sections, subsections or other subdivisions, and will
be disregarded in construing the language contained therein. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and “hereof” and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement as a whole
