 -viii- 

 
cause the Neutral Accountant to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable. The resolution of the dispute by the Neutral Accountant shall be final,
binding and non-appealable on the parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be apportioned between Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, by the Neutral Accountant based on the degree to which each

shall be referred to as the “Final Working Capital Statement” and the Working Capital as set forth in the Final Working Capital Statement shall be referred to as the “Final Working Capital.” 
 (b) If the Final Working Capital is greater than Net Working Capital Target, Purchaser shall pay such excess (plus simple interest on such amount at the

designated by the Seller Representatives. 
 (c) If the Final Working Capital is less than Net Working Capital Target, the Escrow Agent,
after a request by the Purchaser or the Seller Representatives, shall pay out of the Escrow Amount such shortfall (plus simple interest on such amount at the Prime Rate, determined as of the date of final resolution, from the Closing Date through
the date of payment) to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Purchaser. 
 (d) In addition, to the extent the Purchaser is, 90 days after the Closing Date, unable to collect, after a good faith effort (which shall not require Purchaser to engage attorneys or collection agents), any amount of the Receivables listed
on Schedule 2.07(c) (except to the extent, if any, such Receivable is reserved for on the Interim Financial Statements), the Purchaser shall assign at its option such account(s) to the Seller Representatives (for the benefit of the Sellers)
and after written notice from the Purchaser or Seller Representatives, the Escrow Agent shall pay the amount of such account(s) from the Escrow Amount to the Purchaser. 
 (e) In addition, within a reasonable period of time following the Closing Date, the Corporation, as directed by Purchaser, will hire an outside consultant to conduct a valuation of the fair market value of the
Corporation shares acquired by Purchaser and an assessment of any and all amounts that were estimated to be required to be withheld by the Corporation, pursuant to Section 8.01(d), in connection with the regulations of any applicable
Taxing Authority with respect to the exercise of an Option pursuant to Section 1.09(a), including, without limitation, FICA and Medicare and the Option holders withholding obligations. If the Purchaser determines, based on such
consultant’s recommendations and findings, that any amount so withheld was inadequate to satisfy any obligations to the applicable Taxing Authority under any applicable Taxing Authority rule or regulation then, the Escrow Agent shall pay the
amount of such account(s) from the Escrow Amount to the Purchaser. 
 SECTION 1.09 Exercise of Options. As of the Closing Date, but
deemed to occur on the day prior to the Closing by virtue of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the receipt of a check from each Optionholder for such Optionholder’s aggregate exercise price for their
Shares: 
 (a) Each option or right to acquire Shares issued by the Corporation held by Sellers (each an “Option”) which is
outstanding, unexpired and unexercised as of the Closing Date shall be exercised into Shares, equal to the number of Shares for which such Option is then exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to the per share Option exercise price then
applicable to the Option and 

  

 -ix- 

 
otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions of the Option as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. Seller Representatives shall collect the
exercise price from each exercising Option holder and deliver all the monies related to the exercise price at Closing to the Corporation. Any such Share received pursuant to the exercise of an Option hereof shall be accounted for in Schedule
1.04, for purposes of payment of the Purchase Price, as if such Share existed as of the date of the signing of this Agreement. 
 (b) All
Options exercised pursuant to Section 1.09(a) shall from and after the Closing Date no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist and each holder of an Option which immediately prior to the Closing Date represented a right to acquire
Share shall cease to have any rights as an optionholder or shareholder of the Corporation or any surviving entity thereto. 
 SECTION 1.10
Further Assurances. If, at any time after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall reasonably determine that any deeds, assignments or assurances or any other acts or things are necessary (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise,
title to the Shares in Purchaser, or (b) otherwise to consummate the transactions provided for in this Agreement, Sellers shall, at Sellers’ expense, execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of Sellers, all such deeds, bills of sale,

and are current, and all registrations, applications and filings are valid and remain in full force and effect. 
 (b) To the Knowledge of
Founding Shareholders, the Corporation has sufficient ownership or rights, free and clear of any Encumbrances, to the Corporation Intellectual Property necessary for its Business as now conducted, and, giving effect to any consents required under
any Required Consent Contracts, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement shall not adversely affect the Corporation’s right to use the Corporation Intellectual Property in the conduct of the Business as presently conducted. To

 -xiii-

contingent rights to any Corporation Intellectual Property, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any third party gaining a right to access the Corporation Intellectual Property (as the result of an escrow release or
otherwise). To the Knowledge of Founding Shareholders, no contractor, former employee, or other Person has misappropriated or infringed, or is infringing, any of the Corporation Intellectual Property, or has asserted any claim or challenged the

contributions to the creation or development of the Corporation Intellectual Property such that without such contributions any aspect of the Intellectual Property would not function or operate, or could not be used as intended) has executed a
customary confidentiality, non-compete, and assignment of inventions agreement, all of which have been provided to Purchaser’s legal counsel or has otherwise assigned to Corporation all rights, title and interest in any Intellectual Property
developed by such employee or consultant during and within the scope of his employment or consultancy with Corporation. To the Knowledge of Founding Shareholders, no employees or consultants are in violation thereof.

licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would materially interfere with such employee’s or consultant’s ability to
promote the interest of the Corporation or that would conflict with the Corporation’s business. Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Corporation’s business by the employees
and consultants of the Corporation, nor the conduct of the Corporation’s business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, will, to the Knowledge of Founding Shareholders, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any such employee or consultant is now obligated. 
 SECTION 2.09 Employee Plans. 
 (a) Schedule 2.09 sets forth a list of each Employee Plan. With
respect to each Employee Plan, Sellers have provided to Purchaser: a copy of each Employee Plan (including all amendments thereto); a copy of the annual report and actuarial report, if required under ERISA or the Code, with respect to each Employee
Plan for the last two (2) plan years ending prior to the date hereof; if the Employee Plan is funded through a trust or any third party funding vehicle, a copy of the trust or other funding contract (including all amendments thereto) and the
latest financial statements with respect to the last reporting period ended immediately prior to the date thereof; a copy of the most recent “summary plan description”, together with each “summary of material modifications”, if
required under ERISA, with respect to each Employee Plan; and the most recent determination letter received from the IRS with respect to each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a). 
  

 -xiv- 

 (b) The Corporation or an ERISA Affiliate have never maintained, had an obligation to contribute to, or
actually made contributions to an Employee Plan that is subject to the provisions of Title IV of ERISA. 
 (c) To the Knowledge of the
Founding Shareholders, each Employee Plan has been operated and administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and Applicable Law, including ERISA and the Code. There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of the Founding
Shareholders, threatened audits, investigations or claims involving any Employee Plan by any Governmental Authority or other Person, other than routine claims for benefits. Each Employee Plan that is intended to be “qualified” within the
meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding its qualified status, and no fact exists, including any amendment or failure to amend any Employee Plan, that would cause the IRS to
revoke such favorable determination letter. 
 (d) Except (i) as may be provided in any employment Contract currently in effect between
Corporation and an Employee or former Employee, or (ii) as otherwise set forth on Schedule 2.09(d), the consummation of the transaction contemplated herein shall not (A) result in any payment becoming due, or increase the amount of
compensation due, to any Employee or former Employee or current or former director of the Corporation, (B) increase any benefits payable under any Employee Plan, or (C) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount of,
or otherwise enhance, any benefit due to any Employee or former Employee or current or former director of the Corporation. No such payment will result in the loss by reason of Section 280G of the Code, of any federal income Tax deduction by
Purchaser or by the Corporation. 
 (e) No Employee Plan provides benefits, including death or medical benefits (whether or not insured),
with respect to current or former Employees of Corporation or current or former directors of Corporation after retirement or other termination of service other than (i) coverage mandated by Sections 601-608 of ERISA and Section 4980B(f) of
the Code, (ii) death benefits or retirement benefits under any employee pension benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA), (iii) benefits the full cost of which is borne by the current or former Employee or current or
former director (or his or her beneficiary), or (iv) severance or deferred compensation benefits properly accrued as Liabilities on the books of either Corporation or an ERISA Affiliate. 
 (f) The Corporation has not made any representation or communication, oral or written, with respect to the participation, eligibility for benefits,
vesting, benefit accrual or coverage under any Employee Plan to any Employee or any former Employee or current or former director of Corporation which is not in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Employee Plans. 
 (g) No “leased employee” (within the meaning of Section 414(n) of the Code) performs (or during the preceding three years has performed)
services for Corporation. The Corporation has at all times been in material compliance with Applicable Law regarding the classification of Employees and independent contractors. No Person engaged by either Corporation as an independent contractor,
laborer, temporary Employee, or “leased employee” has ever been improperly excluded from participation in a Employee Plan, nor has Corporation used the services of any such individual to an extent that would reasonably be expected to
result in the disqualification of any of the Employee Plans or the imposition of material penalties or excise Taxes with respect to the Employee Plans by the IRS, the Department of Labor, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or any other
Governmental Authority. 
  

 -xv- 

 (h) The Corporation and each ERISA Affiliate has complied in all material respects with the notice and
continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code and the regulations thereunder with respect to each Employee Plan that is, or was during any taxable year of either Corporation or any ERISA Affiliate for which the statute of
limitations on the assessment of federal income Taxes remains open, by consent or otherwise, a group health plan within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code. 
 (i) None of the Employee Plans, any trusts created thereunder, either Corporation or any ERISA Affiliate, or any Employee of the foregoing, nor, to the
Knowledge of the Founding Shareholders, any trustee, administrator or other fiduciary thereof, has engaged in a “prohibited transaction” (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA). To the
Founding Shareholders’ Knowledge, no sponsor, trustee or administrator of any Employee Benefit Plan has engaged in a transaction or has taken or failed to take any action with respect to an Employee Benefit Plan that would be reasonably
expected to subject the Corporation or an ERISA Affiliate to a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502(i) of ERISA or a Tax imposed pursuant to Section 4975 or 4980B of the Code. 
 (j) The Corporation and each ERISA Affiliate, and each Employee Benefit Plan has complied in all material respects with the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act of 1996, and the regulations issued thereunder. 
 (k) Each Employee Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred
compensation plan” as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code has been operated in good faith compliance with Code Section 409A for periods beginning after December 31, 2004. 
 (l) Set forth on Schedule 2.09 is a list of each individual who, as of a date not more than five (5) days preceding the date of this
Agreement, was a “M&A qualified beneficiary” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 54.4980B-9 Q&A-4) and to whom the Corporation was providing continued group health plan coverage under Section 4980B of
the Code. 
 SECTION 2.10 Real Property. 
 (a) The Corporation owns no real property and has no fee simple ownership interest in any real property. Schedule 2.10(a) contains a true and correct list of all of the Corporation Premises and all leases,
subleases or use or occupancy agreements with respect to the Corporation Premises to which the Corporation is a party and all monthly rental fees (and other recurring fees) related to such leases. 
 (b) The Corporation has undisturbed possession of the Corporation Premises and all leases, subleases or use or occupancy agreements with respect to the
Corporation Premises are in full force and effect, and the Corporation is not in default thereunder (with or without notice or lapse of time), and to the Knowledge of the Founding Shareholders, the other party is not in default thereunder (with or
without notice or lapse of time). The Corporation Premises (including improvements thereon) are in good operating condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and are adequate in all material respects for their present uses by the
Corporation and are, as to the Corporation’s interest, free and clear of all Encumbrances except Permitted Liens. 
 SECTION 2.11
Personal Property and Sufficiency of Assets. 
  

 -xvi- 

 (a) (i) the Corporation has valid title to or the right to use all tangible personal property material to
the conduct of the Business as presently conducted, and (ii) the tangible personal property owned by the Corporation is owned free and clear of Encumbrances other than Permitted Liens. 
 (b) The equipment and other tangible assets material to the conduct of the Business as presently conducted are in operating condition, ordinary wear and
tear excepted, and are suitable for their present use by the Corporation. 
 (c) The (i) building, structures, improvements,
automobiles, equipment and other tangible assets of the Corporation, and (ii) the Intellectual Property of the Corporation and other intangible assets of the Corporation are, in the reasonable judgment of the Founding Shareholders, sufficient
for the continued conduct of the business of the Corporation after the Closing in substantially the same manner as conducted prior to the Closing. No Seller, nor any other Person, owns or has the right to use any assets (whether tangible or
intangible) that are used in the conduct of the Business. 
 SECTION 2.12 Taxes. Sellers represent and warrant to Purchaser, as of the

be, or any officer, director, employee or agent thereof, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not
constitute a waiver of any defense that may be validly asserted. Sellers shall provide, twice per month, operating updates, including the status of employee terminations and hiring. 
 SECTION 4.05 Corporation Employees. 
 (a) As soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date, the employees of the Corporation shall cease participation in any and all Employee Benefit Plans of the Corporation and from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall
provide to each employee of the Corporation employee benefits and incentives that are the same or similar in all material respects to the benefits and incentives that are currently provided by Purchaser or its Affiliates to its similarly-situated
employees; provided, however, that as required by law, the Corporation’s employees will continue to participate in the Corporation’s SIMPLE IRA Plan through and including December 31, 2007 and will not be eligible to
participate in Purchaser’s qualified 401(k) Plan until January 1, 2008. 
 (b) For purposes of each Purchaser Plan providing
medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any employee of the Corporation, Purchaser shall cause each employee of the Corporation as of October 1, 2007 to be eligible and to participate, without any waiting period or break in
coverage, in each such Purchaser Plan to the extent that coverage under such Purchaser Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Employee Benefit Plan for such employee. 
 SECTION 4.06 Noncompetition/Nonsolicitation Obligations. 
 (a) Noncompetition. Each Founding
Shareholder expressly covenants and agrees that for a period of three years following the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), he or she will not, directly or indirectly on behalf of any other person, firm, limited liability
company, partnership or corporation, as owner, employee, creditor, consultant or otherwise, engage in any business in the United States that manufactures, produces or supplies products or services of the kind manufactured, produced or supplied (or
contemplated to be manufactured, produced or supplied) by the Corporation as of the Closing Date. 
  

 -xxxii- 

 (b) Customer Non-Solicitation. Each Seller expressly agrees that during the Restricted Period, he
or she will not solicit, divert, take away, or interfere with, or attempt to solicit, divert, take away or interfere with, any of the Corporation’s customers or the business or patronage of any such customers, either for himself or on behalf of
any other person, firm, partnership, limited liability company or corporation within the United States. 
 (c) Employee
Non-Solicitation. Each Seller expressly agrees that during the Restricted Period, he or she will not solicit or recruit any employees, officers, representatives or agents of the Corporation or its Affiliates, either for himself or on behalf of
any other person, firm, partnership, limited liability company or corporation or interfere with or attempt to interfere with any employment or consultant arrangement of the Corporation; provided, however, that the foregoing will not
prohibit a general solicitation to the public of general advertising. 
 (d) Enforcement. 
 (i) Reasonableness of Restrictions. Each Seller acknowledges that compliance with this Section 4.06, is reasonable and necessary to
protect Purchaser and Corporation’s legitimate business interests, including but not limited to Purchaser and Corporation’s goodwill. 
 (ii) Irreparable Harm. Each Seller acknowledges that a breach of his obligations under this Section 4.06 will result in great, irreparable and continuing harm and damage to the Purchaser and Corporation for which there is
no adequate remedy at law. 
 (iii) Injunctive Relief. Each Seller agrees that in the event he breaches this
Section 4.06, Purchaser and the Corporation shall be entitled to seek, from any court of competent jurisdiction, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to enforce the terms of this Section 4.06, in addition to any and
all monetary damages allowed by law, against him. 
 (iv) Extension of Covenants. In the event that a court determines that a Seller
violates any one or more of the covenants contained in this Section 4.06, the Seller agrees that the time periods set forth in this Section 4.06 are suspended during any period in which the Seller is breaching such covenants
and the Restricted Period shall be extended by the length of any such period of breach. 
 (v) Judicial Modification. The parties
expressly agree that the character, duration and geographical scope of such provisions in this Agreement are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date upon which this Agreement has been executed. The parties have attempted
to limit each Founding Shareholder’s right to compete only to the extent necessary to protect Purchasers and the Corporation’s goodwill and other business interests. The parties recognize, however, that reasonable people may differ in
making such a determination. Consequently, the parties hereby agree that a court having jurisdiction over the enforcement of this Section 4.06 shall exercise its power and authority to reform the Founding Shareholders’ covenants
under this Section 4.06 to the extent necessary to cause the limitations contained therein as to time, geographic area and scope of activity to be restrained to be reasonable and to impose a restraint that is not greater than necessary
to protect Purchaser and Corporation’s goodwill and other business interests. 
 SECTION 4.07 Indemnification. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.07 and the indemnification obligations section forth in Article V, effective as of and
after the Closing Date, Sellers shall, jointly and severally, 

  

 -xxxiii- 

 
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, and their respective stockholders, members, partners, managers, officers, directors,
employees, representatives, controlling persons, counsel, agents, successors and assigns (“Purchaser Indemnified Party”), from and against all Damages, whether involving a third party claim or between the parties to this Agreement,
that any Purchaser Indemnified Party may suffer or become subject to, as and when incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Party, as a result of (i) any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Sellers and the Corporation contained in this
Agreement or any other documents relating to the transaction contemplated herein (including all schedules, exhibits and annexes hereto and thereto), (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Sellers contained in this Agreement or any
other documents relating to the transaction contemplated herein, and (iii) to the extent not covered by the Corporation’s general liability insurance policy, any product shipped or manufactured by, or any services provided by, the
Corporation prior to the Closing Date. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.07, effective at and after the Closing
Date, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers, and their respective stockholders, members, partners, managers, officers, directors, employees, representatives, controlling persons, counsel, agents, successors and assigns
(“Seller’s Indemnified Party”), from and against all Damages, whether involving a third party claim or between the parties to this Agreement, that any Seller’s Indemnified Party may suffer or become subject to, as and when
incurred by such Seller’s Indemnified Party, as a result of (i) any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or any other documents relating to the transaction contemplated herein (including all
schedules, exhibits and annexes hereto and thereto), (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any other documents relating to the transaction contemplated herein, and (iii) all liability for
Taxes of Purchaser and taxes owed by the Corporation for all Tax periods (and portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. 
 (c) The
representations and warranties made herein shall survive the Closing until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, except that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.03 and
2.05 shall survive indefinitely, (ii) the representations and warranties in Section 2.12 and Article V, dealing with Tax matters, shall survive as provided in Section 5.04; (iii) insofar as any claim is made
by the Purchaser for the breach of any representation or warranty of Founding Shareholders or the Corporation contained herein relating to environmental matters, such representation and warranty shall, for purposes of such claims by the Purchaser,
survive the Closing until the tenth anniversary of the Closing; (iv) the representations and warranties which are the basis for claims asserted under this Agreement prior to the expiration of such applicable time periods shall survive until the
final resolution of those claims and (v) insofar as any breach of any representation or warranty is the result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation then such representation or warranty shall survive the Closing without limitation.

 (d) The right to indemnification, payment of Damages and other remedies based on representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in
this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the
accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. 
 (e) In the event that an
Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller’s Indemnified Party as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 4.07, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon payment in full of such indemnity, be
subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to claims to which such indemnification relates. Without limiting the 

  

 -xxxiv- 

 
foregoing, if at any time subsequent to the receipt by an Indemnified Party of an indemnity payment hereunder, such Indemnified Party (or any Affiliate of
such Indemnified Party) receives any recovery, settlement or other similar payment with respect to any Damage incurred by Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, for which such Indemnified Party received such indemnity payment, such Indemnified
Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the amount of such payment, less any expense incurred by such Person in connection with such payment; provided that nothing herein shall require Purchaser to submit or seek
recovery under Purchaser’s insurance policies for any Damages for which Seller is required to indemnify Purchaser hereunder. 
 (f) For
the purpose of determining the amount of any Damages that are the subject matter of a Claim for indemnification hereunder, each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any
“materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” standard or qualification contained in such representation or warranty. 
 SECTION 4.08 Defense of Claims. If a claim for Damages (a “Claim”) is to be made by a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall
give notice (a “Claim Notice”) to (i) Seller Representatives, in the case of an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 4.07(a) or (ii) Purchaser, in the case of an indemnification claim pursuant to
Section 4.07(b) (“Indemnifying Party”), in either case as soon as practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may reasonably give rise to Damages for which indemnification
may be sought under this Section 4.08; however, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent such Indemnified Party is actually prejudiced
by such failure (to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). If any proceeding is filed or instituted making a claim against any Indemnified Party with respect to a matter subject to indemnity hereunder, notice thereof shall be
given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable; however, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent such Indemnified Party is actually
prejudiced by such failure (to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). After receipt of such a notice of a proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the proceeding at the
Indemnifying Party’s expense with counsel of its choice satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, unless the nature of the claim creates an ethical conflict or otherwise makes it inadvisable for the same counsel to represent the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party, so long as (a) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the claim or proceeding that the Indemnifying Party will
indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the claim or raised in the proceeding, (b) 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 proceeding and fulfill its indemnification obligations
hereunder, (c) the proceeding involves only a claim for money damages and no other relief and (d) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the proceeding actively and diligently. The Indemnifying Party shall not compromise or settle
any such proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or enter into any settlement negotiations in connection with such proceeding without giving prior written notice to the Indemnified Party. In all other cases the
Indemnified Party may defend the claim or proceeding with counsel of its choosing at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of any such proceeding
defended by the Indemnifying Party and any appeal arising therefrom and employ its own counsel in connection therewith. The parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with any defense in any notifications to insurers. If the Indemnifying
Party fails to promptly and diligently assume the defense of such 

  

 -xxxv- 

 
proceeding after receipt of notice hereunder, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted shall (upon delivering notice to such effect
to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such proceeding with counsel of its own choosing at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate
therein at its own cost. 
 SECTION 4.09 Distributions from the Escrow Fund. In the event that (a) the Seller Representatives
shall not have objected to the amount claimed by the Purchaser for indemnification with respect to any Damages in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement, or (b) the Seller Representatives shall have delivered notice of
their disagreement as to the amount of any indemnification requested by the Purchaser and either (i) the Seller Representatives and the Purchaser shall have, subsequent to the giving of such notice, mutually agreed that the Sellers are
obligated to indemnify the Purchaser for a specified amount and shall have so jointly notified the Escrow Agent or (ii) a final nonappealable judgment shall have been rendered by the court having jurisdiction over the matters relating to such
claim by the Purchaser for indemnification from the Sellers and the Escrow Agent shall have received, in the case of clause (i) above, written instructions from the Seller Representatives and the Purchaser or, in the case of clause
(ii) above, a copy of the final nonappealable judgment of the court, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Purchaser from the Escrow Fund any amount determined to be owed to the Purchaser under this Section 4.09, in accordance with
the Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, in the event that one or more of the Milestones set forth in Schedule 1.05 are not fully achieved by the end of 24 months from the date hereof, the Escrow Agent shall return all
remaining amounts in the Escrow Fund to Purchaser and the Seller Representatives will provide written instructions directing the Escrow Agent to make such distribution. 
 SECTION 4.10 Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except with respect to claims relating to Taxes as set forth in Article V: (a) an Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 4.07, unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Damages which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party equals or exceeds $75,000, after
which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable only for those Damages in excess of $75,000; and (b) the maximum amount of indemnifiable Damages which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party (i) arising out of or resulting from the causes
set forth in Section 4.07(a) shall be an amount equal to his or her pro rata portion of the Purchase Price as indicated by the number of Shares held by such Seller as set forth on Schedule 1.02 and (ii) if arising out of or
resulting from the causes set forth in Section 4.07(b) shall be an amount equal to the pro rata portion of the Purchase Price received by such Seller seeking indemnification under Section 4.07(b) as indicated by the number of
Shares held by such Seller as set forth on Schedule 1.02. The provisions of this Section 4.10 shall not apply with respect to indemnification for (i) Taxes, including any representations or warranties made in
Section 2.12 or Article V, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.03, 2.05, or 2.28, or (iii) any breach of any representation or warranty as a result of fraud or
intentional misrepresentation. 
 SECTION 4.11 Use of Intellectual Property. The Sellers acknowledge that from and after the Closing
Date, the name of the Corporation and all similar or related names, marks and logos (all of such names, marks and logos being the “Corporation Marks”) shall be owned by the Corporation, that neither the Sellers nor any of their
Affiliates shall have any rights in the Corporation Marks and that neither the Sellers nor any of their Affiliates will contest the ownership or validity of any rights of the Purchaser or the Corporation in or to the Corporation Marks. 

SECTION 4.12 Schedules. 
  

 -xxxvi- 

 (a) The parties shall promptly revise or supplement their respective Schedules hereto upon the occurrence
of any event or change in condition that would render any Schedule hereto incorrect or incomplete as of the Closing Date to reflect information learned of or that came into existence after the date hereof and that would have been required to be
disclosed on one or more Schedules hereto if such information was known or in existence on the date hereof. 
 (b) The disclosure of any
matter, event, condition or state of facts in any Schedule to this Agreement, as may be amended or supplemented prior to the Closing shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by Sellers, the Corporation or Purchaser, or to otherwise
imply, that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement. Any updates shall not serve as a basis to qualify the Sellers’ representations or warranties unless accepted by Purchaser. 
 (c) In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and any Schedule (other than an exception expressly set forth
as such in such Schedule with respect to a specifically identified representation or warranty), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control. 
 SECTION 4.13 Exclusivity. Beginning on the date of the execution of this Agreement through September 30, 2007 (“Exclusivity Period”), Sellers will not, and Sellers will cause Corporation,
and all the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or representatives of such parties, not to, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, initiate or participate in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any
information to, and cease all discussions and negotiations with, any third party (other than Purchaser) concerning, or otherwise facilitate, any acquisition, merger or business combination or the sale or license of all or any material portion of the
Corporation’s assets, securities, or other similar transaction or any sale of debt or equity securities involving the Corporation. 
 SECTION 4.14 Leases. Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall use reasonable commercial efforts where necessary to enter into amendments to its leases or obtain landlords consents related to the change in control of the Corporation
contemplated by this Agreement; provided that Sellers shall be responsible for all expenses associated with the leases in excess of the rental and other fees set forth on Schedule 2.10(a) resulting from lease amendments referred to herein.

 SECTION 4.15 Seller’s Post Closing Release. Effective as of the Closing Date, and subject to the payment of all amounts due
Sellers from Purchaser hereunder, each Seller hereby releases and discharges the Corporation and any of its affiliates (whether in such Seller’s capacity as a shareholder, director, officer, employee or otherwise) from any and all claims,
demands and causes of action, whether known or unknown, liquidated or contingent, relating to, arising out of or in any way connected with the dealings of the Corporation or its affiliates, and such Seller from the beginning of time through the
Closing, it being understood, however, that such release shall not operate to release the Corporation or Purchaser from any obligations under this Agreement. Each Seller acknowledges that the Legal Requirements of many states provide substantially
the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER
SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Each Seller acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, each Seller agrees that, effective as of the Closing, such
Seller shall be deemed to waive any such provision. Each Seller further agrees that such Seller shall not (i) institute any action, arbitration, audit, hearing, investigation, litigation, or suit (whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative, or informal) commenced, brought, conducted, or heard by or 

  

 -xxxvii- 

 
before, or otherwise involving, any governmental body or arbitrator (“Proceeding”) based upon, arising out of, or relating to any of the
released claims, (ii) participate, assist, or cooperate in any such Proceeding, or (iii) encourage, assist and/or solicit any third party to institute any such Proceeding. 
 SECTION 4.16 Tax Receipts. Sellers Representatives shall assist Purchaser in obtaining a receipt or certificate for the Corporation from each
state in which the Corporation files Tax Returns showing that all state and local Taxes have been paid by Corporation. 
 SECTION 4.17
Confidentiality. 
 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, the
following information, which is the confidential, proprietary information, and trade secrets of the Corporation: (1) customer lists, consultant lists, and customer information as compiled by the Corporation, including customer orders, product
usage, product volumes, pricing, customer technology, sale and contract terms, contract expiration dates, and other compiled customer information; (2) the Corporation’s own internal practices and procedures, compensation and payroll
information, and personnel data; (3) the Corporation’s financial condition and financial results of operations; (4) supply of materials information, including sources and costs; (5) information relating to designs, formula,
developmental or experimental work, know-how, products, processes, computer programs, source codes, data bases, designs, schematics, inventions, creations, original works of authorship, or other subject matter relating to the Corporation’s
research and development, strategic planning, manufacturing, engineering, purchasing, finance, marketing, promotion, distribution, licensing, and selling activities; (6) all information which Seller has a reasonable basis to consider
confidential or which is treated by the Corporation as confidential; and (7) any and all information, whether in oral or written form, having independent economic value to the Corporation that is not generally known to, and not readily
ascertainable by proper means by a person who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. Confidential Information shall also include information which, though not specifically disclosed to Seller by the Corporation, is made available to
Seller through Seller’s access to or inspection of the Corporation’s facilities or products. Excluded from this paragraph is information that is already disclosed to third parties by proper means and is in the public domain. 
 (b) Seller shall not directly or indirectly disclose, utilize, or authorize any disclosure of Confidential Information to any third person or party.

 ARTICLE V 
 TAX
MATTERS 
 SECTION 5.01 Indemnification and Allocation of Liabilities. 
 (a) Tax Indemnification. Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, its successors, heirs and assigns, and affiliates, subsidiaries,
stockholders, officers and directors of each, from and against, without duplication, on an after-tax basis, all losses or liabilities incurred by it or them directly and indirectly with respect to, in connection with, or arising from: 
  

	 	(i)	any and all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of Sellers and the Corporation for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and the portion of any Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date,
as determined in Section 5.01(c); 

  

 -xxxviii- 

	 	(ii)	any breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant relating to or with respect to Taxes which includes but is not limited to the provisions set forth in
Section 2.12 and this Article V; 

  

	 	(iii)	any and all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of any Person (other than the Corporation) imposed on the Sellers or the Corporation as a transferee or successor by contract or
pursuant to any Law, rule or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring on or before the Closing Date; and 

  

	 	(iv)	subject to the limitation on liability set forth in Section 5.04(b), a reduction of Tax attributes of the Corporation (as owned by Purchaser) as a result of any action
or inaction involving the Sellers. 

 (b) Procedure for Reimbursement. The Sellers shall fully reimburse the Purchaser
for any Taxes or other amounts of the Purchaser or the Corporation, which are the responsibility of the Seller pursuant to this Article V pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 5.03 (“Timing and Treatment of
Payments”). 
 (c) Straddle Period. For purposes of this Article V, whenever it is necessary to determine the amount
of Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Corporation for a Straddle Tax Period, the determination of the Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Tax Period (1) beginning prior to the Closing Date and ending on the Closing Date, and
(2) beginning the day after the Closing Date, shall be determined: 
  

	 	(i)	in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (y) imposed in connection with any distribution, sale or other transfer or
assignment of property, by assuming that the Corporation had a taxable year or period which ended at the close of the Closing Date and closing the books of the Corporation as of such date (and for such purpose the taxable period of any partnership,
joint venture or other pass-through entity in which the Corporation holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), except that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the
deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned on a time basis; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 in the case of Taxes not described in clause (i) that are imposed on a periodic basis and measured by the level of any item, shall be deemed to be the amount
of such Taxes (including any minimum) 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 period determined in clause (1) above and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Tax Period. In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or
long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this subsection shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to 

  

 -xxxix- 

	 	 
effect the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Corporation. 

  

	 	(iii)	Subject to the limitations on liability provided in Section 5.04, for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes (including but not limited to those arising under Code
§1374) resulting from a §338(h)(10) Election shall be the responsibility of Sellers; and neither Corporation nor Purchaser shall be liable for any such Tax. 

 (d) S Corporation Status. Corporation and Sellers shall not revoke Corporation’s election to be taxed as an S corporation within the meaning
of Code Sections 1361 and 1362. Corporation and Sellers shall not intentionally take or intentionally allow any action that would result in the termination of Corporation’s status as a validly electing S corporation within the meaning of Code
Sections 1361 and 1362. 
 (e) Tax Periods Ending on or before Closing Date. Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and
file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for Corporation for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date. With respect to Corporation’s short-year income Tax Return, Purchaser and
Seller Representatives shall mutually agree to such return prior to filing, provided that any comments to such return submitted by Seller Representatives are permitted by law. If Purchaser and Seller Representatives are
unable to mutually agree on such return, then the Parties shall refer any dispute to an independent national accounting firm, whose decision shall be binding on both Parties. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Purchaser shall
report on the Corporation’s short-year income Tax Return and allocate to the Sellers individual K-1s the compensation deduction attributable to the exercise of Sellers’ options. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Sellers
shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other Tax items for such periods on their Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Schedule K-1’s furnished by Corporation to Sellers for such periods.
 (f) Cooperation on Tax Matters. 
  

	 	(i)	Purchaser, Corporation and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax returns and any audit,
litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other
proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Corporation, Sellers and Purchaser agree (A) to retain all books and records with
respect to Tax matters pertinent to Corporation relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or Sellers, any extensions thereof), of the
respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and
records and, if the other party so requests, Corporation or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records. 

  

 -xl- 

	 	(ii)	Purchaser and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may
be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). 

  

	 	(iii)	Except as otherwise required by Law, or with the consent of the Purchaser, the Sellers covenant and agree that they shall not file or amend any Tax Return, file any claim for
refund, change any method of Tax accounting, surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment relating to the Corporation, enter into any closing
agreement, settle or compromise any federal, state, local or foreign Tax liability or claim regarding the Corporation, or make or change any Tax election with respect to any Tax period, in each case that may result in any increased Tax liability of,
or loss of Tax benefits by, the Purchaser or the Corporation. Nothing in this Article shall prohibit Purchaser (or the Corporation, if directed by Purchaser) to amend, refile, or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any statute of limitations
with respect to) any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to the Corporation with respect to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date or with respect to any Straddle Period provided such amendment, refiling, modification,
or extension will (i) be mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and a Seller Representative prior to filing so long as any comments to such return submitted by Seller Representative are permitted by law, and (ii) not have an adverse
affect on the liability of the Sellers or the Corporation for which Sellers are liable pursuant to this Agreement. 

 (g)
Tax-Sharing Agreements. All tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Corporation shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, Corporation shall not be bound thereby or have any
liability thereunder. 
 (h) Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees
(including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by Sellers when due, and Sellers shall, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer,
documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. 
 (i) Filings. Purchaser and Sellers agree, upon request, to provide the other Party with all information that either Party may be required to
report pursuant to Code Section 6043, Code Section 6043A, or any other Section of the Code and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 SECTION 5.02 §338(h)(10) Election. 
 (a) Election. At Purchaser’s option, Purchaser
and Sellers shall join in making an election under Code Section 338(h)(10) (and any corresponding election under state, local, or foreign tax law), with respect to the purchase and sale of the Corporation’s stock hereunder (collectively,

  

 -xli- 

 
a “§338(h)(10) Election”). Sellers shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction, or other tax item resulting from the
§338(h)(10) Election on their Tax Returns to the extent required by applicable law and will pay any Tax attributable to the making of a §338(h)(10) Election. Sellers shall also pay any Tax imposed on Corporation attributable to the making
of the §338(h)(10) Election , including (i) any Tax imposed under Code §1374, (ii) any tax imposed under Treas. Reg. §1.338(h)(10)-1(e)(5), or (iii) any state, local or foreign Tax imposed on the Corporation’s
gain; provided, however, that all such taxes are included in the Gross-Up Amount and paid by Purchaser to Sellers as provided herein. The obligation of Purchaser to pay the Gross-Up Amount to Sellers is intended to equal the amount of incremental
Taxes owed by Sellers resulting from making the §338(h)(10) Election, so that Sellers’ incremental Tax liability resulting from such election is, by way of the Gross-Up Amount, borne by Purchaser. 
 (b) Form 8023. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare Form 8023 and submit the form to the Sellers for
their approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Purchaser has failed to provide Form 8023 to Sellers (or Sellers’ representative for distribution to Sellers) within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, then Sellers may (but
shall have no obligation to) prepare such form and submit such form to Purchaser for its approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If submitted by either party, all Sellers shall timely execute and file the Form 8023. 
 (c) Allocation of Purchase Price. The Parties agree that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Corporation (plus other relevant items)
will be allocated to the assets of the Corporation for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting purposes) as shown on the allocation scheduled (the “Allocation Schedule”) attached hereto as Schedule 5.02(c), which
was agreed to by the Parties and prepared in a manner consistent with Code Sections 338 and 1060, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Any subsequent adjustments pursuant to this Agreement to the sum of the Purchase Price and liabilities shall
be reflected in the Allocation Schedule in a manner consistent with Sections 338 and 1060, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Purchaser, Corporation and Sellers shall timely file all Tax Returns (including Form 8883, amended returns and claims
for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with this Agreement including the Allocation Schedule, as amended, and none of them will take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return, in any refund claim, in any litigation,
or otherwise. If, pursuant to this Agreement, the amount allocated to any asset is increased or decreased after the filing of the Form 8883, then the parties shall timely file a supplemental Form 8883 in a manner consistent with this Agreement, Code
Sections 338, 1060, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. 
 (d) Valid §338(h)(10) Election. Without limiting the obligations
of Sellers pursuant to this Article V, if a §338(h)(10) Election is made with respect to the acquisition of the stock of the Corporation, then Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge that if Purchaser had purchased the assets of the
Corporation directly, rather than its outstanding stock, and Purchaser had neither assumed nor purchased such assets “subject to” any Tax obligations of the Corporation or Sellers, then Purchaser would not have any obligation for the Taxes
of the Corporation or Sellers for the period ending as of the Closing. Purchaser and Sellers intend and agree that the Tax indemnification obligations of Sellers set forth in this Article V shall be applied to indemnify and hold Purchaser and
Corporation harmless, at a minimum, from the same Taxes that would have remained the obligation of Sellers, if the Parties had effected the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a direct purchase of the Corporation’s assets by
Purchaser, and the Corporation had been liquidated, with Seller succeeding to the Corporation’s pre-Closing Tax liabilities, including the Tax liabilities arising from such sale and liquidation. 
 SECTION 5.03 Timing and Treatment of Payments. 
  

 -xlii- 

 (a) Payment by the Sellers of any amounts due under this Article V shall be made at the
earlier of (a) at least three Business Days before the due date of the applicable Tax Return required to be filed by the Purchaser for which the Sellers are responsible under this Article V, (b) within three Business Days following
earlier of the establishment of the Sellers’ responsibility that an indemnity amount is payable to the Purchaser pursuant to this Article V, or following the payment of Taxes by the Purchaser or the Corporation. 
 (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, if liability under this Article V is in respect of costs or expenses other than Taxes, payment
by the Sellers of any amounts due under this Article V shall be made within five Business Days after the date when the Sellers have been notified by the Purchaser that the Sellers have a liability for a determinable amount under this
Article V and is provided with calculations or other materials supporting such liability. 
 (c) Purchaser and Sellers agree that
any payments made under this Article will be treated by the parties on their Tax Returns as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. 
 SECTION
5.04 Survival. 
 (a) General. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, this Article V and the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.12, shall survive and shall remain in effect until 90 days after the expiration of all applicable statute of limitations and shall survive any death, corporate reorganization,
dissolution or liquidation of the Sellers, the Purchaser or the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Tax indemnification obligations of the Sellers are not subject to any threshold requirement relating to the
amount to be reimbursed or, except as set forth in Section 5.04(b), any ceiling on the maximum amount subject to indemnification, and Purchaser shall not be treated as having assumed the risk of any Taxes by reason of the closing of the
transaction or by reason of any knowledge that the Purchaser had or should have had about the Sellers’ or the Corporation’s Tax obligations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary. 
 (b) §338(h)(10) Limitation. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated in conjunction with the §338(h)(10)
Election contemplated by Section 5.02, then Sellers and Purchaser agree as follows: 
 (i) Covenant to Inform Others. If
any of Sellers, Sellers’ Representatives, Corporation, Purchaser or any of their affiliates is notified, in writing or otherwise, that the §338(h)(10) Election will not apply to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such
Person covenants to immediately inform all Sellers, Sellers’ Representatives, Corporation and Purchaser of such information. 
 (ii)
Covenant to File Tax Return. If the §338(h)(10) Election will not apply to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then Purchaser shall timely notify each Seller that they should file an amended income Tax Return in order to
claim a refund for their share of the Gross Up Amount. Purchaser, at its own cost and expense, shall hire a certified public accounting firm to prepare the amended returns on behalf of each Seller, and each seller hereby names and appoints Purchaser
its attorney-in fact, with full power of substitution, to act for and file such amended returns on behalf of Seller and Seller further agrees to otherwise cooperate in all reasonable respects with Purchaser in preparing such Seller’s amended
Tax Return. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the preparation and filing of all Seller amended income Tax Returns. Upon the actual receipt of any Tax refund resulting form the filing of the amended Tax Returns, such Seller shall promptly
remit such payment or refund to Purchaser. 
  

 -xliii- 

 (iii) Acknowledgement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser
acknowledges that Sellers only liability arising from the failure of the §338(h)(10) Election shall be to (x) remit to Purchaser any Tax refund received by Sellers under this Section 5.04(b), and (y) remit to Purchaser any
portion of the Gross-Up Amount received by Sellers, which were not paid or otherwise remitted with respect to Sellers Tax Returns. The exception provided in (y) is intended to cover situations where the Gross-Up Amount did not go to pay a
Seller’s taxes. For example, if a Seller has a tax loss carryforward and uses that tax loss carryforward to offset the income resulting from the §338(h)(10) Election then they will not have to use the Gross-Up amount to pay taxes.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION 8.01 Seller Representatives. 
 (a) Sellers hereby designate the individuals set forth on Schedule 8.01 as the Sellers representatives (individually, a “Seller Representative” and collectively, the “Seller Representatives”), to
represent Sellers, their successors and assigns following the Closing Date as agent and attorney-in-fact in all matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including without limitation,
(i) accepting the Purchase Price on behalf of the Sellers as provided in Section 1.04 from Purchaser and distributing the applicable amounts to each Seller; (ii) determining whether the conditions to Closing in Article VI have been
satisfied and supervising the Closing, including 

  

 -xlvi- 

 
waiving any such condition if any Sellers Representative, in his or her sole and absolute discretion, determines that such waiver is appropriate;
(iii) accepting notices on behalf of any and all Sellers in accordance with this Agreement; (iv) negotiating and entering into the Escrow Agreement on behalf of Sellers and taking any and all actions that may be necessary or desirable in
connection therewith, as determined by a Sellers Representative in his or her sole and absolute discretion, (v) granting any consent or approval on behalf of any and all Sellers under this Agreement; and (vi) taking any and all other
actions and doing any and all other things provided in or contemplated by this Agreement to be performed by a Sellers Representative on behalf of any and all Sellers. Any Seller Representative shall have full power and authority to take any and all
actions and make any and all decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by Sellers under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement following the execution of this Agreement, including related to any indemnification matters hereunder, which
power and authority shall include, without limitation, full power and authority to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of and demand arbitration, and comply with orders of a court and awards of arbitrators with respect to
(i) any claim for Damages by Purchaser against Sellers, and (ii) any claim for Damages by Sellers; provided that the Seller Representatives shall have no authority to take or agree to any action which would have the effect of increasing
the maximum liability of any Seller or changing any Seller’s proportionate share of the liability without the prior written consent of such Seller. All actions taken by the Seller Representatives which they deem necessary or appropriate shall,
subject to the proviso of the preceding sentence, be binding upon each Seller and his, her or its successors, heirs, representatives and assigns as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Seller, and each Seller hereby ratifies and
confirms all that the Seller Representatives shall do or cause to be done in accordance with the authority granted hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that no Seller Representative acts with respect to an action or a decision
required or permitted to be taken then each Seller shall be entitled to negotiate, enter into a settlement or compromise any claim, including a claim for Damages, that covers the respective pro rata share for each Seller. 
 (b) Any Seller Representative may be changed from time to time upon not less than 30-days prior written notice to Purchaser. Any vacancy in the position
of a Seller Representative may be filled by approval of a majority-in-interest of the Sellers based upon their percentage of ownership of the Shares at the time of Closing. 
 (c) The Sellers’ Representative identified on Schedule 1.04 shall provide wire instructions to a designated bank account at an FDIC insured
financial institution for the purposes of (i) receiving the Purchase Price (less applicable withholding taxes) specified in Section 1.04 on behalf of the Sellers and (ii) distributing such Purchase Price in the appropriate
proportions, to each Seller in accordance with Schedule 1.04. At the Closing, the Sellers Representative designated on Schedule 1.04 shall distribute, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Purchase Price in her
possession to each Seller in an amount set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule 1.04. The above distributions shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.01(d). 
 (d) Payment to the Sellers Representative designated in Schedule 1.04 of the Purchase Price or any other amount payable hereunder by Purchaser to
Sellers, and delivery by Purchaser to such Sellers Representative of any notice under this Agreement, shall constitute proper payment or proper delivery of notice (as applicable) by Purchaser to all of Sellers. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, Purchaser shall have no obligation to distribute, or liability with respect to the distribution of, the Purchase Price or any other payment, or any notice among Sellers other than to the Sellers Representative designated on Schedule
1.04. Each Seller agrees that Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on any act or omission by such Sellers Representative as an act or omission authorized by and made on behalf of Sellers (each, an “Authorized Action”), without
any obligation on the part of Purchaser to 

  

 -xlvii- 

 
investigate or verify that Sellers Representative is authorized to undertake such Authorized Action. Each Authorized Action undertaken by the Sellers
Representative shall be binding on each Seller as fully as if such Seller had directly undertaken such Authorized Action.

 -lii-Escrow Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10.12 
 ESCROW AGREEMENT 
 THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (the “Escrow Agreement”) is dated as of the 4th day
of September 2007, by and among Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), Glenn Takayama and Haiying Xia (“Seller Representatives”) on behalf of the individuals set forth on Exhibit
A hereto (“Sellers”), and Thomas Title & Escrow, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (the “Escrow Agent”). 
 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, Purchaser, Spring Bioscience Corporation, a California S-Corporation (the
“Company”), Seller Representatives and Sellers are parties to a certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) dated as of September 4, 2007, whereby Purchaser has acquired all of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Company; 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Purchaser is required to deliver to Escrow
Agent on the date of the closing of the purchase and sale transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”), $11,700,000 of immediately available funds (the “Escrowed Property”), which
is to be held to secure Sellers’ obligations under Articles IV and V and under Section 1.08 of the Stock Purchase Agreement and shall be held by Escrow Agent in escrow pending release thereof in accordance with the terms hereof, upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions under the Stock Purchase Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, the parties desire that Escrow Agent serve as escrow agent
to hold the Escrowed Property, and Escrow Agent is willing to do so based upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and 
 WHEREAS, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and in the Stock Purchase Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. Purchaser and Seller
Representatives jointly appoint Escrow Agent to receive, hold, administer and deliver the Escrowed Property (the “Escrow Account”) in accordance with this Escrow Agreement and Escrow Agent accepts such appointment, all subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Escrow Agreement. 
 2. Escrow. 
 2.1 Escrowed Property. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall wire transfer the Escrowed Property to the Escrow Account. 
 2.2 Interest-Bearing Account. Upon receipt by Escrow Agent of the Escrowed Property, Escrow Agent shall be permitted, and is hereby directed to
deposit and invest all Escrowed Property, including principal and interest, into an interest-bearing money market account at a bank insured by the FDIC, or in a fund agreed to by Purchaser and Seller Representatives. Except as provided in Sections
3.4 and 5.4 below, any accrued interest shall be retained in the Escrow Account until, on joint 

  

 -1- 

 
instruction of Purchaser and a Seller Representative (or otherwise pursuant to the terms hereof), it is disbursed to either Purchaser or Seller
Representatives in the same manner as directed for Escrowed Property. 
 3. Delivery of Escrowed Property by Escrow Agent. 

Except as provided in Section 5.4 below, Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrowed Property in escrow until authorized hereunder to deliver the same or
any portion thereof as follows: 
 3.1 Escrow Claims. At any time prior to the
Escrow Termination Date, Purchaser or Seller Representatives (each, a “Party”) may demand payment from the Escrow Account by providing to Escrow Agent a copy of any claims notice given by such demanding Party pursuant to Sections
4.08, 4.09 and Article V of the Stock Purchase Agreement, together with a written request for disbursement to Escrow Agent and the other Party, stating the amount (the “Disputed Amount”) in dollars to be disbursed to the demanding
Party (a “Claim”). Escrow Agent, without concerning itself with the explanation as to the grounds for such disbursement, shall: (a) promptly (and in any event within two business days after receipt) forward a copy of such Claim
to the other Party; and (b) comply with the terms of such request on the 10th business day following receipt of such Claim unless, prior to such time,
it shall have received from the other Party, a written notice objecting to such disbursement, which notice shall set forth in general terms the grounds upon which the objection to such Claim is being made. In the event Escrow Agent receives such a
notice, Escrow Agent, without concerning itself as to the grounds for such notice, shall (a) promptly (but in any event within two business days after receipt) forward a copy of such notice to the demanding Party; (b) not distribute the
funds for which it has received the Claim; and (c) continue to hold such funds under the terms of this Agreement until such Claim has been resolved as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Escrow Agent shall disburse funds in accordance
with the final non-appealable judgment or award of any court having jurisdiction over the matter or earlier on the written instruction of both the Seller Representatives and Purchaser. 
 3.2 Distributions For Negative Working Capital Adjustment. If the Final Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Target, Purchaser
and/or a Seller Representative may request payment from the Escrowed Property to Purchaser (pursuant to Section 1.08(c) of the Stock Purchase Agreement) by providing to Escrow Agent and the other party a written notice and a copy of the Final
Working Capital Statement that sets forth the deficiency relative to the Net Working Capital Target. In such event, Escrow Agent shall not release any funds except in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.1 of this Escrow
Agreement related to a Claim. Alternatively, promptly after Escrow Agent receives either (a) joint written instructions from Purchaser and a Seller Representative, or (b) written instructions from Purchaser and the Neutral Accountant
together with a copy of the written report of such independent certified public accountant as selected pursuant to Section 1.08 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which confirms the amount of the Final Working Capital and the amount to be
released and returned by Escrow Agent to Purchaser, then Escrow Agent shall release such designated amount of the Escrowed Property (including any accrued interest thereon) to Purchaser. 
 3.3 Distributions for Receivables Adjustment. If the Purchase Price is required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.08(d) of the
Stock Purchase Agreement, then, Purchaser and/or a Seller Representative may request payment to Purchaser from the Escrowed Property by providing to Escrow Agent and the other party a written notice that sets forth the adjustment to the Purchase
Price. In such event, Escrow Agent shall not release any funds except in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.1 of this Escrow Agreement related to a Claim. 
 3.4 Milestone Payments. If, and when, each Milestone is achieved (as set forth in Schedule 1.05 to the Stock Purchase Agreement), the listed
percentage of the remaining Escrowed Property, if any, shall be released to Sellers. Purchaser and Seller Representatives may request payment 

  

 -2- 

 
from the Escrowed Property by providing to Escrow Agent joint written instructions setting forth in reasonable detail the achievement of any Milestone. In
such event, Escrow Agent shall not release any funds except in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.1 of this Escrow Agreement related to a Claim. Alternatively, promptly after Escrow Agent receives joint written instructions
from Purchaser and Seller Representatives, then (i) Escrow Agent shall release such designated amount of the Escrowed Property (including any accrued interest thereon) to Sellers. In the event that one or more of the Milestones are not fully
achieved by the end of 24 months from the date hereof, the Escrow Agent shall return all remaining amounts in the Escrowed Property to Purchaser (including any accrued interest thereon to the extent not previously distributed); provided,
however, that if either party has delivered to Escrow Agent notice of a Claim in accordance with this Escrow Agreement prior to the Escrow Termination Date, then Escrow Agent shall deliver the excess, if any, of the remaining Escrowed
Property over the aggregate Disputed Amount to Purchaser. 
 3.5 Distributions for Tax Withholding Adjustment. Within a reasonable
period of time following the Closing Date, the Corporation, as directed by Purchaser, will hire an outside consultant to conduct a valuation of the fair market value of the Corporation shares acquired by Purchaser and an assessment of any and all
amounts that were estimated to be required to be withheld by the Corporation, pursuant to Section 8.01(d) of the Stock Purchase Agreement, in connection with the regulations of any applicable Taxing Authority with respect to the exercise of an
Option pursuant to Section 1.09(a) of the Stock Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, FICA and Medicare and the Option holders withholding obligations. If the Corporation determines, based on such consultant’s recommendations
and findings, that any amount so withheld was inadequate to satisfy any obligations to the applicable Taxing Authority under any applicable Taxing Authority rule or regulation then, upon notice from Purchaser, Escrow Agent will release to Purchaser
from the Escrowed Property such amount set forth in the notice, which shall be equal to the amount necessary to cover the deficiency of such withholding and the adjustment so required. In such event, Escrow Agent shall not release any funds except
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.1 of this Escrow Agreement related to a Claim. 
 4. Disputes. Any
dispute which may arise under this Escrow Agreement between Purchaser and Seller Representatives shall be settled pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to institute or defend any legal proceedings
involving Purchaser, Sellers or Seller Representatives, and none of the costs or expenses of any such proceedings shall be borne by Escrow Agent. If the terms of a settlement of any dispute hereunder increase the duties or liabilities of Escrow
Agent and Escrow Agent has not participated in such settlement so as to be bound thereby, then such settlement shall be effective as to Escrow Agent in respect of such increase in its duties or liabilities only upon Escrow Agent’s written
consent thereto. Prior to the settlement of any dispute between Purchaser and Sellers or Purchaser and Seller Representatives, Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to retain in its possession, without liability to any party, that portion of the
Escrowed Property that is the subject of or involved in the dispute. Escrow Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, interplead that portion of Escrowed Property it then holds with any court of competent jurisdiction, and name Purchaser and
Seller Representatives as parties in such interpleader action. Upon filing the interpleader action, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability as to the Escrowed Property and shall be entitled to recover from Purchaser and Seller
Representatives its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining such action. In no event shall the institution of such interpleader action impair the rights of the Escrow Agent described elsewhere in this
Escrow Agreement. 
 5. General Provisions. 
 5.1 Termination. This Escrow Agreement shall continue in force until the final distribution of all of the Escrowed Property (the “Escrow Termination Date”). 
  

 -3- 

 5.2 Compensation. Upon execution of this Escrow Agreement, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
compensation for its services hereunder as set forth on Exhibit B hereto. All fees and related expenses of Escrow Agent for its services hereunder (including legal expenses incurred in accordance with Section 5.6.5) will be shared
equally by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller Representatives, on behalf of Sellers, on the other hand, and will be paid in United States currency. If Purchaser or Seller Representatives fail to pay Escrow Agent any fee due hereunder promptly
following such demand, then Escrow Agent may charge such sum to the Escrow Account. All amounts charged thereto to compensate or reimburse Escrow Agent for amounts owing to it hereunder shall, from the time of such loss or charge, no longer
constitute part of the Escrowed Property; provided, however, that Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller Representatives, on the other, shall be required to reimburse the other for any such amounts charged to the Escrow Account on such
party’s behalf. 
 5.3 Expenses. Each of Purchaser and Seller Representatives, on behalf of Sellers, shall be responsible for its
own expenses incurred in connection with this Escrow Agreement. 
 5.4 Tax Treatment. For the sole purpose of tax reporting, all
interest earned on the Escrowed Property shall be for the account of and reported to the appropriate governmental authorities under the name of Haiying Xia, one of the Seller Representatives, acting as a proxy for all the Sellers. Escrow Agent shall
distribute to Haiying Xia (pursuant to joint written instruction from the Purchaser and the Seller Representatives) from the Escrow Account an amount equal to 48% of such reportable interest on a quarterly basis to reflect estimated taxes due based
on an approximation of the tax liability imposed on her as a result of such interest. It is the intention of the parties that such distribution shall be provided 10 days prior to the due date of any estimated taxes, provided, however,
that the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to make such distribution unless and until it receives written joint instruction from the Purchase and the Seller Representatives agreeing on the appropriate distribution amount. The Purchaser and
Haiying Xia will provide Escrow Agent with a certified tax identification number by signing and returning a Form W-9 (or Form W-8, in the case of non-U.S. persons) to Escrow Agent within 30 days of the date of execution of this Escrow Agreement. In
the event the Purchaser or Haiying Xia does not certify the tax identification numbers to Escrow Agent, the Internal Revenue Code, as amended from time to time, may require withholding of a portion of any interest or other income earned on the
investment of the Escrow Account. 
 5.5 Transfer Instructions. 
 5.5.1 In the event funds transfer instructions are given (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Escrow Agreement), whether in writing,
by telecopier or otherwise, Escrow Agent is authorized, but shall have no obligation, to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated in Exhibit C hereto, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the
confirmations of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by Escrow Agent. The parties to this Escrow Agreement
acknowledge that such security procedure is commercially reasonable. 
 5.5.2 It is understood that Escrow Agent and Purchaser’s bank
or a Seller’s bank, as the case may be, in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying number provided by either of the other parties hereto to identify (i) Purchaser or Sellers,
(ii) Purchaser’s bank or a Seller’s bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank. Escrow Agent may apply any of the escrowed funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even where its use may result in a
person other than Purchaser or Seller Representatives, on behalf of Sellers, being paid or the transfer of funds to a bank other than Purchaser’s bank or a Seller’s bank, or an intermediary bank designated. 
  

 -4- 

 5.5.3 Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for following the instructions herein contained or
expressly provided for, or written instructions given by the parties hereto. 
 5.5.4 Only the authorized representatives of the respective
parties hereto on record with Escrow Agent in connection with the opening of the Escrow Account shall be authorized to sign notices and issue instructions on behalf of such parties. 
 5.6 Obligations of Escrow Agent. The obligations of Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement are subject to the following terms and conditions:

 5.6.1 Escrow Agent is not a party to and is not bound by any agreement other than this Escrow Agreement. 
 5.6.2 Escrow Agent acts hereunder as a depository, with ministerial duties only, and is not responsible for or liable in any manner whatsoever for the
sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any funds, shares, documents or other materials deposited with it. Purchaser and Seller Representatives agree to and hereby do waive any suit, claim, demand or cause of action of any kind which
they may have or may assert against Escrow Agent arising out of or relating to the execution or performance by Escrow Agent of this Escrow Agreement, unless such suit, claim, demand or cause of action is based upon the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of Escrow Agent or any of its officers, employees, agents or representatives. 
 5.6.3 Escrow Agent shall not have any
responsibility for the genuineness or validity of any notice, evidence or other document or item delivered to it or any signature thereon, and Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon and shall be protected in acting upon any written
notice, waiver, consent, receipt or other evidence or paper document which Escrow Agent reasonably believes to be genuine and to be signed by the proper person. 
 5.6.4 Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any acts done or steps taken or omitted or admitted by it or for any mistake of facts or law or for anything which Escrow Agent may do or refrain
from doing in connection herewith except for Escrow Agent’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence or that of its officers, employees, agents or representatives. 
 5.6.5 As to any legal questions arising in connection with the administration of this Escrow Agreement, Escrow Agent may rely absolutely upon the
opinions given to it by its counsel and shall be free of liability for acting in reliance on such opinions. 
 5.6.6 In the event that
Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, it shall be entitled to
refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by all of the other parties hereto or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. 
 5.6.7 It is the intention of the parties hereto that Escrow Agent shall never be required to use or advance its own funds
or otherwise incur personal financial liability in its performance of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder. 
 5.6.8 The duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent hereunder shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Escrow Agreement, and no other or further duties, covenants or responsibilities shall be implied, including any
covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 

  

 -5- 

 
Escrow Agent shall not have any liability under, or duty to inquire into the terms and provisions of, any agreement or instructions, other than outlined in
this Agreement. 
 5.6.9 Purchaser and Seller Representatives agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from
any costs, damages, expenses, loss, liability or claims, including attorneys’ fees, which Escrow Agent may incur or sustain as a result of or arising out of this Escrow Agreement or Escrow Agent’s duties relating thereto except to the
extent caused by Escrow Agent’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence or that of its officers, employees, agents or representatives; and Escrow Agent is hereby given a lien upon, and security interest in, the Escrowed Property, to secure
Escrow Agent’s rights to such payment or reimbursement. Anything in this Escrow Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, lost profits). This section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. 
 5.6.10 Each of Seller Representatives and Purchaser covenants and agrees to promptly provide Escrow Agent, upon request, with any information required by Escrow Agent to comply with any laws or requirements to which
it may be subject, including without limitation the United States Bank Secrecy Act, and represents and warrants that to the best of its reasonable knowledge, the Stock Purchase Agreement and all related documents, and the transactions contemplated
thereby are in compliance with all material applicable law, including without limitation the United States Export Administration Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 5.6.11 Under no circumstances shall the Escrow Agent be expected to use, risk or advance its own funds in the performance of its duties or exercise of
its rights hereunder. 
 5.6.12 The Purchaser and Seller Representatives agree that the Escrow Agent shall not assume any responsibility for
the failure of the other parties to perform in accordance with this Escrow Agreement. This Escrow Agreement set forth all matters pertinent to the escrow contemplated hereunder, and no additional obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be implied by
nor inferred from the terms of any other agreement. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable, directly or indirectly, for any (i) damages or expenses arising out of the services provided hereunder, other than damages which result from the
Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) special or consequential damages, even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages, except for such damages which result from the Escrow
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 5.7 Successor Escrow Agent. 
 5.7.1 Escrow Agent agrees that Purchaser and Seller Representatives may, by mutual agreement at any time, remove Escrow Agent as escrow agent hereunder,
and substitute another therefor. In such event, Escrow Agent shall, upon receipt of a joint written notice from Purchaser and Seller Representatives of such removal, account for and deliver to such substituted escrow agent the Escrowed Property
after deducting payment for all monies owing to it in accordance with the terms hereof and Escrow Agent shall thereafter be discharged of all liability hereunder. 
 5.7.2 Purchaser and Seller Representatives agree that Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving notice of such resignation to Purchaser and Seller Representatives, which
shall specify a date (not less than thirty (30) days following the date of such notice) when such resignation shall take effect. Upon such notice, a successor escrow agent shall be selected by Purchaser and Seller Representatives (as evidenced
by a written amendment to this Escrow Agreement signed by all parties), such successor escrow agent to become Escrow Agent hereunder upon the resignation date specified in such notice and Escrow Agent shall account for and 

  

 -6- 

 
deliver to such substituted escrow agent the Escrowed Property after deducting payment for all monies owing to it in accordance with the terms hereof and
Escrow Agent shall thereafter be discharged of all liability hereunder. If Purchaser and Seller Representatives are unable to agree upon a successor escrow agent within 15 days after the date of such notice, Escrow Agent shall be entitled petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent, which shall be a state or national bank or trust company having combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000, or for other appropriate relief, and any such
resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties. 
 5.8 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing. Any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly delivered one (1) business day after it is sent by (a) a reputable courier service guaranteeing

 5.12 Counterparts; Execution. This Escrow Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. All signatures of the parties to this Escrow Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile, and such facsimile will,
for all purposes, be deemed to be the original signature of such party whose signature it reproduces and will be binding upon such party. Original signatures must be provided to any party upon such party’s request. 
 5.13 Waiver. The parties may waive any provision of this Escrow Agreement at any time. No waiver of any provision of this Escrow Agreement shall
be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the waiving party. No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior
or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. 
 5.14 Severability. Any term or provision of this Escrow Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the body making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of
the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or
unenforceable term or provision, and this Escrow Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. 
 5.15 Submission to Jurisdiction. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement shall solely be brought against any of the parties in the
courts of the State of Arizona, County of Maricopa or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the
appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world. 
 5.16 Seller Representatives. Pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Sellers have approved and ratified the designation of
Seller Representatives (or any successor thereto) to serve as the sole and exclusive representative of Sellers with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement, and have agreed that Escrow Agent and Purchaser shall be entitled to rely upon
any actions taken by Seller Representatives as the duly authorized action of Seller Representatives on behalf of each Seller with respect to any matters set forth in this Agreement. 
 5.17 Force Majeure. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible nor have any liability for failures or delays in the performance of its obligations
hereunder during any period in which such non-performance is caused by or arises from acts, causes or occurrences beyond its control, including without limitation war, natural emergencies, hostilities or acts of terrorism, natural disasters, weather
