 STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
 This Stock Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), is entered into on December 2, 2008, to be effective as of 11:59 p.m. on
November 30, 2008 (the “Effective Time”), by and among Kforce Government Holdings Inc., a Florida corporation (“Purchaser”), Kforce Inc., a Florida corporation (“Guarantor”), RDI Systems, Inc.,
a Texas corporation doing business as dNovus RDI (the “Company”), the undersigned owners and holders of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company whose names are set forth on Annex I attached
hereto (collectively, the “Shareholders” and each individually, a “Shareholder”) and Nancy R. Kudla, as representative of the Shareholders of the Company (the “Company Shareholder Representative”).

 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS,
each of the Shareholders owns the number of the shares of common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Stock”), of the Company set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Annex I attached hereto, which shares of the Stock
represent all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company; 
 WHEREAS, the Shareholders desire to sell to Purchaser, and
Purchaser desires to purchase from the Shareholders, all of the Stock, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; 
 WHEREAS,
Purchaser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor, and the Guarantor will guarantee the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, it is contemplated that the parties will make an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to the acquisition of the Company by Purchaser as contemplated under this Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties hereto that, upon consummation of the purchase and sale of the Stock pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser
will own all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual
covenants and agreements of the parties hereinafter contained, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS 
 For purposes of
this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meanings specified or referred to in Exhibit A attached hereto. 
 ARTICLE II 

 SALE OF STOCK 
 2.1 Sale of Stock. On the Closing Date, and subject to the terms and conditions herein stated, each of the Shareholders agrees to sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, 







 
and Purchaser agrees to purchase from such Shareholder, the number of shares of the Stock shown opposite such Shareholder’s name on Annex I
attached hereto. At the Closing, the respective certificates representing the shares of the Stock shall be duly endorsed in blank, or accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank, by the Shareholder transferring the same and constituting all
of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. 
 2.2 Purchase Price; Payment. 
 (a) As consideration for the purchase of the Stock, Purchaser shall pay to the Shareholders: (i) an amount equal to Thirty-Eight Million Dollars
($38,000,000) (the “Base Amount”), increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the Adjustment Amount as provided in Section 2.3 (the “Purchase Price”); 
 (b) At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver the following: 
 (i) Purchaser shall deliver to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), an aggregate amount equal to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Escrow Amount”). The
Escrow Amount shall be maintained and disbursed by the Escrow Agent subject to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”) by and among
Purchaser, the Company Shareholder Representative and the Escrow Agent; 
 (ii) Purchaser shall deliver to the Shareholders, in proportion
to their respective percentage ownership in the Company as set forth in Annex I hereto, an aggregate amount equal to (A) the Base Amount, increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the Estimated Adjustment Amount as provided in
Section 2.3 (the “Estimated Purchase Price”) minus the Escrow Amount. All amounts payable under this Section 2.2(b)(ii) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds, allocated among
the Shareholders in accordance with Annex I hereto, to the accounts of the Shareholders, written notice of which accounts shall have been provided to Purchaser by the Company Shareholder Representative not less than two (2) Business Days
prior to the Closing; and 
 (c) Following the Closing Date, upon the final determination of the Adjustment Amount and the Purchase Price,
Purchaser or the Shareholders, as the case may be, shall make the payment as provided in Section 2.3. 
 2.3 Purchase Price
Adjustment. 
 (a) Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Company shall deliver a schedule setting forth the estimated Current Assets and estimated Current Liabilities of the Company as of the Closing Date and setting forth a calculation of the Estimated Working Capital as of the Closing Date (as
delivered, the “Estimated Working Capital Schedule”). The Estimated Working Capital Schedule as delivered by the Company and the Company Shareholder Representative shall serve as the basis for calculating the Estimated Purchase
Price on the Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or agreed between the parties in writing, the Estimated Working Capital Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied with past accounting practices
of the Company, and the Company’s audited financial statements. 

  

 2 








 
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that such Estimated Working Capital Schedule shall contain material information based on good faith estimates by the
Company of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Estimated Working Capital” shall be the amount (positive or negative) equal to (i) estimated
Current Assets minus (ii) estimated Current Liabilities, each as set forth in the Estimated Working Capital Schedule. For purposes of determining the Estimated Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii), the Base Amount
shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount that the Estimated Working Capital is less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), or increased, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount that the Estimated Working Capital is greater
than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), as the case may be (the amount of such decrease or increase, the “Estimated Adjustment Amount”). 
 (b) Post Closing Adjustment Amount; Payment. In order to determine the actual Working Capital as of the Closing Date and any corresponding adjustment to the Purchase Price, Purchaser shall cause the Company to
prepare a schedule setting forth the Current Assets and Current Liabilities of the Company as of the Closing Date and setting forth a calculation of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (as finally determined, and subject to Sections
2.3(c), 2.3(d) and 2.3(e), the “Working Capital Schedule”). The Working Capital Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied with past accounting practices of the Company, and the Company’s
audited financial statements. For purposes of this Agreement, “Working Capital” shall be the amount (positive or negative) equal to (i) Current Assets minus (ii) Current Liabilities, each as set forth in the Working
Capital Schedule. For purposes of determining the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2(a), on the basis of the Working Capital Schedule, subject, however, to the rights of Purchaser and the Company Shareholder Representative as
provided in Section 2.3(d), the Base Amount shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount that the Working Capital as of the Closing Date is less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), or increased, on a
dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount that the Working Capital as of the Closing Date is greater than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), as the case may be (the amount of such decrease or increase, the “Adjustment Amount”). In the
event that the Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, then Purchaser shall, within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Adjustment Amount in accordance with this Section 2.3(b), pay to the
Shareholders (on a pro rata basis) cash in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price. In the event that the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Purchase Price, then the
Shareholders shall, within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Adjustment Amount in accordance with this Section 2.3(b), pay (in proportion to their respective percentage ownership in the Company as set forth in
Annex I hereto) to Purchaser the amount by which the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Purchase Price. 
 (c) Delivery of
Adjustment Documents; Disputes. Purchaser shall, no later than seventy-five (75) days following the Closing Date, deliver to the Company Shareholder Representative: (i) the Working Capital Schedule; (ii) a statement of the
calculation of the final Adjustment Amount, based on the Working Capital Schedule; (iii) a statement of the resulting Purchase Price; and (iv) to the extent known to Purchaser, a reasonably detailed description of the reasons for each
discrepancy, if any, between the Estimated Working Capital Schedule and the Working Capital Schedule (collectively, the above (i) - (iv) are the “Adjustment Documents”). The Adjustment Documents shall be final and binding on, and
deemed accepted 

  

 3 








 
by, Purchaser and the Shareholders, unless within forty-five (45) days after the Company Shareholder Representative’s receipt thereof, the Company
Shareholder Representative provides Purchaser with written notice of objection with respect to the Adjustment Documents (an “Objection Notice”). The Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail each item on the Adjustment
Documents that the Shareholders dispute, the nature of any objection so asserted, and any portions of the Adjustment Documents the Shareholders do not dispute. During the period from the Company Shareholder Representative’s receipt of the
Adjustment Documents until the final resolution of all disputes raised by any Objection Notice, Purchaser and the Company shall provide the Company Shareholder Representative and her representatives reasonable access during normal business hours and
in a manner not to interfere in the normal operations of the Company to all Books and Records of the Company relevant to the determination of the Working Capital or otherwise used in preparation of the Adjustment Documents (and to all relevant
personnel employed by the Company prior to the Closing) solely for the purposes of evaluating the Adjustment Documents. 
 (d) Resolution
of Disputes. During the forty-five (45) day period following the date on which the Objection Notice is received by Purchaser, Purchaser and the Company Shareholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any
dispute raised thereby. If Purchaser and the Company Shareholder Representative are unable to resolve the dispute within such forty-five (45) day period, then any disputed matter set forth in the Objection Notice which remains unresolved shall,
upon the request of either Purchaser or the Company Shareholder Representative, be submitted for final determination to Grant Thornton LLP (such firm, or such other firm as Purchaser and the Company Shareholder Representative shall agree upon in
writing, the “Independent Accounting Firm”). Each of Purchaser and the Company Shareholder Representative shall be entitled to submit to the Independent Accounting Firm such documents and materials and to make such presentations and
arguments as such party shall deem necessary or appropriate. The Independent Accounting Firm shall, based solely on such documents, materials, presentations and arguments, render a written report as to the resolution of each disputed matter set
forth in the Objection Notice which remains outstanding and as to the calculation of the Adjustment Amount and the final Purchase Price. Purchaser and the Company Shareholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Independent Accounting Firm to render its written report within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of any such disputed matter. The Independent Accounting Firm shall have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resort to the Independent Accounting
Firm shall be the sole recourse and remedy of the parties against one another or any other Person with respect to, any disputes referred to it under this under this Section 2.3(d). The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination
shall be conclusive and binding on all parties and shall be enforceable in a court of law. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by the party (i.e., Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Company Shareholder
Representative, on the other hand) whose last proposed written offer for the settlement of the terms in dispute prior to the commencement of such dispute resolution, taken as a whole, has a greater mathematical difference from the final
determination of the Independent Accounting Firm. If the final determination of the Independent Accounting Firm is equal to the mathematical difference between the last proposed written offers of Purchaser and the Company Shareholder Representative,
then Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company Shareholder Representative, on the other hand, shall each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm. 
  

 4 








 (e) Final Consideration. The Adjustment Amount and Purchase Price shall become final and binding
upon the parties upon the earliest of: (i) the failure by the Company Shareholder Representative to object thereto within the period permitted under, and otherwise in accordance with, the requirements of Section 2.3(c);
(ii) the written agreement between the Company Shareholder Representative and Purchaser with respect thereto; or (iii) the decision by the Independent Accounting Firm with respect to disputes under Section 2.3(d). 

2.4 Closing Date. The closing under this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on December 2, 2008 (the “Closing
Date”) and shall be effective as of the Effective Time. 
 2.5 Further Assurances. Each of the Shareholders hereby agrees
that, from time to time, at Purchaser’s request and without further consideration, such Shareholder will execute and deliver to Purchaser such other and further instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer and take such other action as
Purchaser may reasonably require to more effectively convey, transfer and assign the Stock to Purchaser. 
 2.6 Access to Books and
Records following Closing; Shareholders’ Access. Following the Closing, for the longer of four (4) years after the Closing or the period required by applicable law, and upon reasonable prior written notice to Purchaser from the
Shareholders, Purchaser shall permit the Shareholders to have access during normal business hours to the Books and Records of the Company relating to periods prior to the Closing Date (which shall be retained by Purchaser for such period) for the
purpose of preparing the Shareholders’ federal and state income tax returns, defending any audits of such returns or the Shareholders tax returns for prior years and fulfillment of the Shareholders obligations pursuant to Article X.
 
 2.7 Company Shareholder Representative. 
 (a) The Company Shareholder Representative is hereby designated by the Shareholders and the Company to serve as the representative of the Shareholders with respect to the matters expressly set forth in this Agreement
to be performed by the Company Shareholder Representative. 
 (b) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.7(a), upon the
execution of this Agreement by the Shareholders, each of the Shareholders irrevocably appoints the Company Shareholder Representative as the agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for such Shareholder for all purposes of this Agreement, including the
full power and authority on such Shareholder’s behalf, to the extent permitted by law, to: (i) negotiate, execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, together with such
additions, deletions, modifications or changes as the Company Shareholder Representative shall approve, such Company Shareholder Representative’s execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such Company Shareholder Representative’s
approval and the authorization of the Escrow Agreement hereby); (ii) amend, modify or waive any of the provisions of the Escrow Agreement or any other agreement contemplated by this Agreement for the benefit of the Shareholders in any manner in
which the Company Shareholder Representative believes to be in the best interests of such Shareholders; (iii) give all notices (including service of process) required to be given by or on behalf of any Shareholder under this Agreement, the
Escrow Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby; (iv) take any action (or determine to take no action) in 

  

 5 








 
connection with the defense, settlement, compromise, arbitration and/or other resolution of any claim for indemnification by any Purchaser Indemnified Party
pursuant to Article IX, including the release of any or all of the Escrow Amount in satisfaction of any such claim and compliance with any Order in connection with any such claim, or any other Proceeding in connection with this Agreement;
(v) assert, bring, prosecute, maintain, settle, compromise, arbitrate and/or otherwise resolve on behalf of the Shareholders any claim for indemnification by any Shareholder Indemnified Party pursuant to Article IX or any other
Proceeding in connection with this Agreement; (vi) take all actions (or determine to take no action) as the Company Shareholder Representative may deem necessary, appropriate or convenient in such Company Shareholder Representative’s sole
judgment to carry out the approvals and cooperation with respect to Tax Returns and Tax matters as set forth in Article IX; and (vii) take all such other actions (or determine to take no action) as the Company Shareholder Representative
may deem necessary, appropriate or convenient in such Company Shareholder Representative’s sole judgment to carry out the foregoing. By such Company Shareholder Representative’s execution hereof, the Company Shareholder Representative
hereby accepts such appointment. Each Shareholder irrevocably appoints the Company Shareholder Representative as such Shareholder’s lawful agent, for and in such Shareholder’s behalf, to accept and acknowledge service of, and upon whom may
be served, all necessary processes in any action, suit or proceeding arising under this Agreement that may be had or brought against such Shareholder’s successor and assigns, in any court of competent jurisdiction, such service of process or
notice to have the same force and effect as if served upon each and every Shareholder. 
 (c) The Shareholders may, at any time, remove the
Company Shareholder Representative and appoint a substitute representative by unanimous written consent signed by Shareholders (or, if applicable, their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns). If the Company Shareholder

or destroy, at the request and option of Purchaser, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information 

  

 38 








 
that are in his, her, or its possession; provided, however, that each Shareholder’s legal counsel shall be permitted to retain one copy of
all Confidential Information so requested to be returned or destroyed for so long as such Shareholder causes its legal counsel to provide to Purchaser upon request from time to time a complete and accurate list of such Confidential Information being
retained. In the event that any Shareholder is requested or required pursuant to written or oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process to
disclose any Confidential Information, such Shareholder will notify Purchaser promptly of the request or requirement so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.7.
If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any of the Shareholders is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, such
Shareholder may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the disclosing Shareholder shall use his, her, or its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request of Purchaser, an order or
other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Purchaser shall designate. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Confidential Information that is
generally available to the public immediately prior to the time of disclosure unless such Confidential Information is so available due to the actions of a Shareholder. 
 6.8 Cooperation by Founding Shareholders. Following the Closing, each of the Founding Shareholders, at the reasonable request of Purchaser, shall be available to Purchaser to respond to questions concerning the
Company and its Subsidiaries.

 9.1 Survival Period. The representations and warranties of Purchaser, the Company and the Shareholders contained in this Agreement or in any
certificate delivered at the Closing shall survive the Closing Date and continue in effect for a period of twenty four (24) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that: (a) the Core Representations and any matters
in which the Company is liable for actual fraud shall survive indefinitely, without limitation; and (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.13 (Taxes) shall survive for any applicable statute of limitations,
plus ninety days (the foregoing periods being referred to as the “Survival Period”). All covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be performed after the Closing shall expire upon the completion of performance or waiver
thereof. Any representation or warranty that would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 9.1 will continue to survive if a notice of claim for indemnification shall have been given under this Article IX on or prior
to such termination date until the related claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in this Article IX. 
 9.2 Shareholders’ Obligations to Indemnify. Subject to the limitations and procedures contained in this Article IX, following the Closing, the Shareholders shall, subject to
Section 9.10, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, the Company and each of their Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified
Party,” provided that such term shall not include any Shareholder regardless of his or her affiliation with the Company), from and against any and all claims, losses, settlements, fines, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs or expenses
(including interest, penalties, costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively, “Damages”), suffered, sustained, incurred or
required to be paid by any such Purchaser Indemnified Party due 

  

 41 








 
to, based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant and/or agreement of the Company or
Shareholders contained in this Agreement (or any schedule hereto or any certificate delivered to Purchaser on behalf of the Shareholders pursuant hereto). 
 9.3 Purchaser’s Obligations to Indemnify. Subject to the limitations and procedures contained in this Article IX, following the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each
Shareholder and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, trustees and representatives (each, a “Shareholder Indemnified Party” and, together with the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the
“Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Damages suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any such Shareholder Indemnified Party due to, based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any Breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant and/or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement (or any schedule hereto or any certificate delivered to the Company or the Shareholders on behalf of Purchaser pursuant hereto). 
 9.4 Procedure for Indemnification — Third Party Claims. The obligations and Liabilities of any party against which indemnification is sought
hereunder with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of Liability by third parties shall be subject to this Section 9.4. 
 (a) If any third party notifies any Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other party (the “Indemnifying Party”)
under this Article IX, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall
relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is thereby prejudiced. To the extent the Shareholders are the Indemnifying Party, such notice shall be made to the Company
Shareholder Representative. 
 (b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim
with counsel of his, her, or its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as: (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice
of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Damages (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX) that the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting
from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will
have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; (iii) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief;
(iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business
interests or the reputation of the Indemnified Party; and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently within their reasonable discretion. 
  

 42 








 (c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance
with Section 9.4(b): (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at his, her, or its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the
entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld); and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the
entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld). 
 (d) In the event any of the conditions in Section 9.4(b) is or becomes unsatisfied: (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and
consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner his, her, or it may reasonably deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from,
any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith); (ii) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the reasonable costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) within thirty (30) days of the request for such reimbursement; and (iii) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of,
relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article IX. 
 9.5
Procedure for Indemnification — Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought prior to the expiration of the
applicable Survival Period. 
 9.6 Limitations on Indemnification. The provisions of this Article IX are subject to the
following limitations: 
 (a) The Shareholders shall not be obligated to pay any indemnification amounts for Damages pursuant to
Section 9.2 until the aggregate amount of all Damages pursuant thereto exceeds an amount equal to $200,000, whereupon the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.2 for all such
Damages in excess of such amount, subject to paragraph (b) below. 
 (b) The maximum amount that all Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall
be entitled to recover under Section 9.2 shall in the aggregate not exceed an amount equal to Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000). 
 (c) No party shall be liable under this Article IX for any Damages resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation, inaccuracy in or Breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement, any certificate delivered pursuant
to this Agreement or any Breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement if the party seeking indemnification for such Damages had Knowledge of such Breach prior to the Closing. 
 (d) As recourse for any claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall first seek
payment out of the Escrow 

  

 43 








 
Amount pursuant to and in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement prior to exercising its rights under this Agreement including, without limitation, its
rights of offset as set forth in Section 9.8. 
 (e) Any amounts recoverable by any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article
IX with respect to any Damages shall be limited to the actual damages or losses suffered by the Indemnified Party (i.e., reduced by any insurance proceeds or other payment or recoupment received, realized or retained by the Indemnified Party as
a result of the events giving rise to the claim for indemnification net of any expenses related to the receipt of such proceeds, payment or recoupment, including retrospective premium adjustments, if any), and no Indemnified Party shall be entitled
to recover from any other party hereto any amount in respect to exemplary, punitive, special, indirect, consequential, remote or speculative damages, including lost profits except: (i) in the case of fraud; or (ii) if the Indemnified Party
is liable for such damages as a result of a Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Indemnified Party or its Affiliates shall in any event be liable to any Indemnifying Party or its Affiliates for
loss of future revenue or income, cost of capital, or loss of business reputation or opportunity except in the event that the Indemnified Party is liable for such items as a result of a Third-Party Claim. Upon the request of the Indemnifying Party,
the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with information sufficient to allow the Indemnifying Party to calculate the amount of the indemnity payment in accordance with this Section 9.6. An Indemnified Party shall take
all reasonable steps to mitigate damages in respect of any claim for which it is seeking indemnification and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any costs or expenses associated with such claim and, if such costs and expenses cannot
be avoided, to minimize the amount thereof. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any available insurance coverage or other rights of indemnity or reimbursement from third parties with respect to any Liability. Each of the
parties hereto further agrees that it shall not seek, and shall not be entitled to, punitive damages, except: (i) in the case of fraud; or (ii) in the event that a party is liable for punitive damages as a result of a Third-Party Claim, as
to any matter relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (f) All references to GAAP contained in this Agreement
refer to GAAP as in effect as of the Closing Date and the Shareholders will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for any Damages arising out of any changes in GAAP to the extent that such changes occur after the Closing Date. All
references to Legal Requirements contained in this Agreement refer to the applicable Legal Requirements, and the interpretations thereof as in effect as of the Closing Date, and Shareholders will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise)
for any Damages arising out of any changes in Legal Requirements, or the interpretations thereof, to the extent that such changes occur after such date. 
 (g) Each of the Shareholders and Purchaser will, and will cause each of the Shareholder Indemnified Parties (to the extent controlled by such Shareholder) or Purchaser Indemnified Parties, as applicable, to, use its
commercially reasonable best efforts to mitigate any Damages with respect to which it may be entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations in Sections 9.6(a) and 9.6(b) will not apply to: (w) the failure or refusal of the Shareholders to deliver good title to the 

  

 44 








 
Stock; (x) claims or losses arising from actual fraud committed by the Shareholders or the Company upon Purchaser; (y) any Breach of the Core
Representations or any Breach of the representations set forth in Sections 3.4 (Consents and Approvals), 3.5 (No Violation), 3.13 (Taxes), 3.28 (Title to Assets), and 4.4 (Consents and Approvals; No Violations);
and (z) any Indebtedness of the Company which is not included in the calculation of Working Capital or otherwise paid at or prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations in Section 9.6(a) will not apply to any
Breach of the representations set forth in Section 3.26 (Accounts Receivable). 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in Article IX, the maximum amount that all Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover in connection with a Breach by the Company of any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement related to the
Subsidiaries shall be only the Damages related to such Breach which is attributable to the Company resulting from its percentage ownership of such Subsidiary. 
 (j) This Section 9.6 is in no way intended to affect the obligation of Purchaser to deliver the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 9.7 Indemnification Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provided for in this Article IX shall be the exclusive remedy in any action
seeking damages or any other form of monetary relief brought by any party to this Agreement against another party to this Agreement with respect to any provision of this Agreement, provided that nothing herein shall be construed to limit the right
of a party, in a proper case, to seek injunctive relief for a breach of this Agreement. Purchaser hereby releases, waives, and discharges to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, and covenants not to sue or assert any
other claims, causes of action, and any and all other rights, known or unknown, it or any indemnified person may have against the Company or the Shareholders relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby arising under or based
upon any Legal Requirement. Any indemnity payment under this Article IX shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes unless a final determination (which shall include the execution of a Form 870-AD or successor
form) with respect to the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price consideration for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. 
 9.8 Right of Setoff Against Working Capital. Any indemnification to which a Purchaser is entitled under this Agreement as a result of any Damages
it may suffer shall first be made as a payment to Purchaser from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and, to the extent that the aggregate amount of such indemnification exceeds the Escrow Amount plus any interest
accrued thereon, Purchaser shall have the option of setting off all or any part of any remaining or additional Damages it may suffer (in lieu of seeking any indemnification to which it is entitled under this Article IX) against any payment to
be made by Purchaser to the Shareholders, if any, under Section 2.3 by notifying the Company Shareholder Representative of the same. Neither the exercise nor the failure to exercise such right of setoff will constitute an election of
remedies or limit Purchaser in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies available to it nor will the exercise of such right preclude the Company Shareholder Representative from disputing the validity of same. 
  

 45 








 9.9 Time Limitations. If the Closing occurs, no party shall have any liability with respect to any
Damages, unless on or before the Survival Period, the other party is notified of a claim, specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known. The parties hereto intend to shorten the statute of limitations and
agree that no claims or causes of action based upon, directly or indirectly, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements terminated as provided in this Section 9.9 may be brought after the expiration of the Survival
Period. 
 9.10 Nature of Shareholders’ Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except for actual fraud:
(i) each Shareholder’s aggregate liability under this Agreement shall in no event exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid or payable to such Shareholder pursuant to Section 2.2; (ii) no Shareholder shall have any
liability in excess of his or her pro rata share (based upon proceeds received pursuant to this Agreement) of any Damages (except with respect to any Breach of any representation or warranty made by such Shareholder set forth in Article IV),
and no Shareholder shall have any liability with respect to any representation or warranty of any other Shareholder set forth in Article IV; (iii) the Shareholders shall have no liability to indemnify the Purchaser for any Damages to the
extent reflected or reserved for in the calculation of Working Capital; and (iv) the Shareholders shall have no liability under this Article IX to the extent arising from actions taken or not taken by the Purchaser or the Company, or any
event or occurrence occurring, after the Closing other than as a result of a Breach of representations, warranties or covenants of the Company or any of the Shareholders. 
 ARTICLE X 
 TAX MATTERS 
 10.1 Section 338(h)(10) Election. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Shareholders and Purchaser, the Company, the Shareholders and
Purchaser shall make a Code Section 338(h)(10) Election (and any corresponding elections under state or local tax law) (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Election” with regard to Purchaser’s purchase of the Stock. The
Shareholders shall cooperate with Purchaser in making such elections, including executing all necessary IRS Forms 8023 (and any applicable state or local forms) and otherwise taking such other actions that are required under the Code or the Treasury
Regulations to make the Section 338(h)(10) Election (the “Section 338 Forms”). The Purchaser and the Shareholders agree that the ADSP will be allocated to the assets of the Company for all purposes (including Tax and financial
accounting) as shown on Exhibit F attached to this Agreement (the “Allocation”). The Allocation shall be the allocation used by the Company, the Shareholders, and Purchaser in any and all Tax Returns and shall be the
allocation used in each IRS Form 8883 and any supplements thereto for each of the “old target” and the “new target” as such terms are used in Code Section 338(h)(10) and the applicable Treasury Regulations. The Company, the
Shareholders and Purchaser shall make all Tax reports, Tax Returns and Tax refund claims and other statements, including IRS Form 8883 or any equivalent statements, in a manner consistent with such Allocation and shall not make inconsistent written
statements on any Tax Returns or during the course of any IRS or other Tax audit, except to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements. Each party agrees to notify the other if the IRS or any other Tax authority proposes a reallocation of
such amounts. Each Shareholder will report any income resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election, or cash to accrual change in accounting method, as the case may be. 
  

 46 








 10.2 Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns; Straddle Periods and Pre-Closing Date Tax Returns.

 (a) The Company Shareholder Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed, within the time (taking
into account any extensions) and manner provided by any Legal Requirements, all S Corporation Tax Returns of the Company. The Shareholders shall include on their Tax Returns any income, gain, loss, deduction or other Tax item provided for in the S
Corporation Tax Returns of the Company (including Tax items attributable to the Section 338 (h)(10) Election) as required by any Legal Requirements and the Shareholders shall pay all Taxes of the Company arising from the Section 338(h)(10)
Election (except with respect to Taxes that are the liability of Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.2(b)). The Company Shareholder Representative shall provide Purchaser with drafts of all S Corporation Tax Returns prepared by the Company
Shareholder Representative no later than thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of the due date or filing date thereof. Purchaser shall have the right to review and provide comments on any such S Corporation Tax Returns during the fifteen
(15) Business Day period following the receipt of such S Corporation Tax Returns. 
 (b) Purchaser and the Company shall prepare or
cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed, within the time (taking into account any extensions) and manner provided by any Legal Requirements, all Tax Returns of the Company for periods beginning prior to the Closing Date (other than Tax
Returns referred to in Section 10.2(a)) that are required to be filed after the Closing Date, including those taxable periods beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”). Purchaser and the
Company shall provide the Shareholders with drafts of all such Tax Returns prepared by Purchaser or the Company no later than thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of the due date or filing date thereof. The Shareholders shall have the right to
review and provide comments on such Tax Returns during the fifteen (15) Business Day period following the receipt of such Tax Returns. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date for the payment of any Taxes with respect to
any such Tax Return, the Shareholders shall pay the Company an amount equal to the portion of the Taxes attributable to the taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Date Tax Period”),
determined in the case of any Straddle Period under Section 10.2(d), other than Taxes included in calculating Working Capital and any estimates thereof. 
 (c) The Shareholders and Purchaser shall consult with each other and attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising with respect to the Tax Returns referred to in Sections 10.2(a) and 10.2(b) above and, if
they are unable to do so, the disputed items shall be resolved (within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Tax Returns) by the Independent Accounting Firm or, if unable to serve, by an independent nationally
recognized accounting firm acceptable to Purchaser and the Company Shareholder Representative. Upon resolution of all such items, the relevant Tax Returns shall be timely filed on that basis, provided, however, that if after using
reasonable best efforts, the parties are unable to resolve the matter in dispute before any Tax Return that is the subject of a disagreement is due, such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by Purchaser or the Company Shareholder Representative, as
the case may be, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution, and the making of any payments necessary to give effect to the resolution. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by the party (i.e., Purchaser, on
the one hand, or the Company Shareholder Representative, on the other hand) whose last proposed written offer for the settlement of the 

  

 47 








 
terms in dispute prior to the commencement of such dispute resolution, taken as a whole, has a greater mathematical difference from the final determination
of the Independent Accounting Firm. If the final determination of the Independent Accounting Firm is equal to the mathematical difference between the last proposed written offers of Purchaser and the Company Shareholder Representative, then
Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company Shareholder Representative, on the other hand, shall each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm. 
 (d) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes that are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes that relate to the
Pre-Closing Date Tax Period (i) in the case of any property or ad valorem Taxes, shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax
Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax Period and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, shall be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable as computed on a
“closing-of-the-books” basis if the relevant Tax Period ended at the close of business on the Closing Date. 
 (e) All Tax Returns
prepared and filed pursuant to Sections 10.2(a) and 10.2(b) shall be prepared and filed in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and in a manner consistent with past practices of the Company (to the extent consistent with applicable
Legal Requirements). 
 (f) Any Tax refund received by Purchaser or the Company (or any Affiliate of Purchaser or the Company), and any
amount of Tax credit to which Purchaser or the Company (or any Affiliate of Purchaser or Company) becomes entitled, which relates to a Pre-Closing Date Tax Period shall be for the account of the Shareholders to the extent such refund or credit was
not reflected in the calculation of the Working Capital and any estimates thereof, and the associated Tax was not borne directly or indirectly by Purchaser. Purchaser or the Company (or any Affiliate of Purchaser or the Company) shall pay to the
Shareholders any refund or amount of credit within ten (10) days after receipt in the case of a refund or use in the case of a credit. In the case of a refund or credit applicable to a Straddle Period, the allocation of such refund or credit
shall be consistent with the principles of allocation set forth in Section 10.2(d). Purchaser or the Company (or any Affiliate of Purchaser or the Company) shall be entitled to retain from any payment required under this
Section 10.2(f) any reasonable costs (including the amount of any Tax liability incurred by the Company as a result of receiving a refund or credit to which the Company is entitled under this Section 10.2(f)) incurred by such
party in obtaining the refund or credit to which the Shareholders are entitled. Purchaser shall, at the request and expense of the Shareholders, cause the Company to file for and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and expedite the receipt of
any refund or credit to which the Shareholders are entitled under this Section 10.2(f). Purchaser and the Company shall permit the Shareholders to participate in (at the Shareholders’ expense) the prosecution of any such refund or
credit claim. 
 10.3 Amended Tax Returns. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall amend, refile or otherwise modify,
require the Shareholders to amend, refile or otherwise modify, or cause or permit the Company to amend, refile or otherwise modify, any Tax election or Tax Return with respect to any Pre-Closing Date Tax Period without the prior written consent of
the Shareholders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that nothing 

  

 48 








 
in this Section 10.3 shall require the Shareholders to consent to any action that would result in adverse consequences to the Shareholders unless
such action is required to correct a Tax position taken on any Tax Return that was, when taken, against applicable Tax law, or otherwise comply with applicable Tax law. 
 10.4 Transfer Taxes. As between Purchaser and the Shareholders, the Shareholders shall, on a pro rata basis, bear responsibility for paying all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other
such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 10.5 Cooperation. Purchaser and the Shareholders shall: (a) cooperate, as reasonably requested, in connection with the preparation and filing
of all Tax Returns prepared and filed pursuant to this Article X and the making of Code Section 754 elections with respect to the Subsidiaries; (b) make available to the other, as reasonably requested, all information, records or
documents with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and for Straddle Periods; and (c) preserve information, records or documents relating to Tax matters pertinent to the
Company that is in their possession or under their control until the expiration of all limitations periods under applicable Legal Requirements.

Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for any such enforcement proceeding. However, if a Delaware court rejects jurisdiction in any final adjudication, each party irrevocably submits to
the jurisdiction of the courts of the States of Florida and Texas for any such enforcement proceeding. The parties hereto agree that the service of process or any other papers upon them or any of them by registered mail at their respective addresses
where notices are to be sent pursuant to Section 11.1 shall be deemed good, proper, and effective service upon them. 
 11.8
Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any schedule, certificate or other document delivered by any party in connection with this Agreement or incident to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the
breach, termination or validity hereof or thereof or otherwise arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or any other agreement among them or between any of them, whether entered into prior to, on or subsequent
to the date of this Agreement or those arising under any Legal Requirement, shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. If the amount in
controversy in the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), exclusive of interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators. Otherwise, the
arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The parties shall endeavor to select neutral arbitrators by mutual agreement. If such agreement cannot be reached within thirty (30) calendar days after a dispute has arisen which
is to be decided by arbitration, any party or the parties jointly shall request the American Arbitration Association to submit to each party an identical panel of fifteen (15) persons. Alternate strikes shall be made to the panel, commencing
with the party bringing the claim, until the names of three (3) persons remain, or one person if the case is to be heard by a single arbitrator. The parties may, however, by mutual agreement request the American Arbitration Association to
submit additional panels of possible arbitrators. The person(s) thus remaining shall be the arbitrator(s) for such arbitration. If three (3) arbitrators are selected, the arbitrators shall elect a chairperson to preside at all meetings and
hearings. If a dispute is to be resolved by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the terms hereof, or if the dispute is to be resolved by a panel of three (3) arbitrators as provided hereinabove, then such sole arbitrator or the chairperson of
such panel, as the case may be, shall be a member of a state bar engaged in the practice of law in the United States or a retired member of a state or the federal judiciary in the United States. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall require a
majority of the arbitrators in the case of a panel of arbitrators, shall be in writing and reasoned, shall be based on the evidence admitted and the substantive law of the State of Delaware and shall contain an award for each issue and counterclaim.
The award shall be made within thirty (30) days following the close of the final hearing and the filing of any post hearing briefs authorized by the arbitrator(s). The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the parties hereto
and the subject matter. The award shall be made within thirty (30) days following the closing of the final hearing and the filing of any post hearing briefs authorized by the attorneys. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States
Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration 

  

 51 








 
shall be in the State of Delaware. Each party shall be entitled to inspect and obtain a copy of relevant documents in the possession or control of the other
party and to take depositions of the other parties’ employees, agents, representatives and witnesses (including expert witnesses). All such discovery shall be in accordance with procedures approved by the arbitrator(s). Unless otherwise
provided in the award, each party shall bear its own costs of discovery. No party shall be entitled to submit interrogatories to the other parties. All discovery shall be expedited, consistent with the nature and complexity of the claim or dispute
and consistent with fairness and justice. The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to compel any party to comply with discovery requests of the other parties and to issue binding orders relating to any discovery dispute which shall be enforceable in
the same manner as awards. The arbitrator(s) also shall have the power to impose sanctions for abuse or frustration of the arbitration process, including without limitation, the refusal to comply with orders of the arbitrator(s) relating to
discovery and compliance with subpoenas. The arbitrator(s) are not empowered to award damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages or multiple damages) in excess of compensatory damages and in no event shall consequential, special or
exemplary damages be awarded, and each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover damages in excess of those damages authorized by this Section 11.8. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for entry of any arbitration decision or to obtain any preliminary relief which may be necessary and hereby consents to the enforcement by such courts of any award rendered in such
arbitration.

other party hereto or thereto shall re execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine other electronic transmission (i.e.,
e-mail) to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine other electronic transmission (i.e., e-mail) as a defense to the formation of a Contract
and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity. 
 11.11 Joint
Preparation. This Agreement has been prepared by the joint efforts of the respective attorneys to each of the parties hereto. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if
drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 11.12 Guaranty by the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby guarantees the performance (and not merely the collection) of Purchaser under the terms of
this Agreement, including, without limitation, all obligations to make payments to the Shareholders under this Agreement, and waives notice of presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, any other demands and notices
required by law (but not any notices required under this Agreement) and any requirement that suit first be brought against Purchaser in order to enforce any of such obligations.
