 (d) If any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase
agreement or other Contract under which the Company has any rights, then the Merger Consideration delivered in exchange for such shares of Company Capital Stock will also be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or
other condition, and need not be paid or otherwise delivered to the former holder of such shares of Company Capital Stock until such time as such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition lapses or otherwise terminates. The Company
shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all action that may be reasonably necessary to ensure that (and Parent shall have the right, from and after the Effective Time, to take all action that may be necessary to ensure that): (1) such Merger
Consideration shall remain so unvested and subject to such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition; (2) such Merger Consideration need 
  

 4. 

 not be paid or otherwise delivered until such time as such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition
lapses or otherwise terminates; and (3) Parent is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other Contract. 
  
 (e) In the event the Company at any time or from time to time between
the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time declares or pays any dividend on Company Capital Stock payable in Company Capital Stock or in any right to acquire Company Capital Stock, or effects a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Company
Capital Stock into a greater number of shares of Company Capital Stock, or in the event the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Company
Capital Stock, then the amounts payable in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to Section 1.5(a) shall be appropriately adjusted. 
  
 1.6 Employee Stock Options. 
  
 (a) At the Effective Time, all outstanding unexercised Company Options, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with
the terms of the Company Option Plan and in accordance with the terms of the stock option agreements by which such Company Options are evidenced. All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under Company Options assumed by Parent shall thereupon
be converted into rights with respect to Parent Common Stock; and, from and after the Effective Time: 
  
 (i) each assumed Company Option may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; 
  
 (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such
assumed Company Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Ratio (as defined below),
and rounding to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; 
  
 (iii) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each assumed Company Option shall be the amount determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company
Common Stock subject to such Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Option Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price to the nearest whole cent, and 
  
 (iv) all restrictions on the exercise of each such Company Option
shall continue in full force and effect, and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of each assumed Company Option shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that each assumed Company Option shall, in
accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected by Parent after the Effective Time. 
  

 5. 

 For purposes of this Agreement, (I) each Company Option assumed by Parent in accordance with this Section 1.6(a) shall be
referred to as an “Assumed Option,” and (II) the “Option Exchange Ratio” shall be the fraction having a numerator equal to the Common Stock Per Share Closing Amount and having a denominator equal to the volume weighted average
trading price of a share of Parent Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Parent Closing Date Stock Price”). 
  
 (b) After the Effective Time, Parent will send to each holder of an
Assumed Option a written notice setting forth (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option and (ii) the exercise price per share payable to Parent upon the exercise of such Assumed Option. Parent shall file with the
SEC, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date (and in any event within 30 days after the Closing Date), a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the Parent Common Stock underlying the Assumed Options. 
  
 (c) The Company shall take all actions that may be necessary, or that
Parent considers appropriate (as disclosed to the Company by Parent in writing prior to the Closing), under the Company Option Plan and otherwise, in each case prior to the Closing, to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.6 and to ensure
that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Company Options have no rights with respect to such Company Options other than those specifically provided in this Section 1.6. 
  
 1.7 Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all shares of Company Capital
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and all holders of certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company; and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Company Capital Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.8.

  
 1.8 Surrender of Certificates. 
  
 (a) At or prior to the Closing, Parent will deliver to the holders of
Company Stock Certificates (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (a “Letter of Transmittal”), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock
Certificates in exchange for Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to Parent for exchange, together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by Parent, the holder
of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1, and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered
shall be canceled. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that if any Non-Dissenting Stockholder delivers to 
  

 6. 

 Parent at the Closing one or more Company Stock Certificates with duly executed Letters of Transmittal and such other
documents as may be reasonably required by Parent, then Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Merger Consideration with respect to such Company Stock Certificate to such Non-Dissenting Stockholder at the Closing or within
two business days after the Closing Date. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.8, each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender Merger
Consideration as contemplated by this Section 1. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any Merger Consideration, require the owner of
such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving
Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate. 
  
 (b) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any Merger Consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any holder or former holder of Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Agreement such
amounts as Parent or the Surviving Corporation determines in good faith are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any other Legal Requirement relating to Taxes. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld,
such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. 
  
 (c) Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Capital Stock or any other person with
respect to any Merger Consideration delivered to any public official in good faith pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement. 
  
 1.9 Dissenting Shares. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has made a demand
for payment of the fair value of such shares in accordance with Part 13 of the UBCA (any such shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s
dissenters’ rights under Part 13 of the UBCA with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are
granted by the UBCA to a holder of Dissenting Shares. 
  
 (b)
Subject to Section 1.5(c), if any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the date of loss of such status, such shares shall automatically be
converted into and shall represent only the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Company Stock Certificate representing such shares. 
  

 7. 

 (c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt written notice of any written demand for payment
received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the dissenters’ rights provisions of the UBCA, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time
pursuant to the UBCA, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with
respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless Parent shall have given its written consent to such payment or settlement offer. 
  
 (d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each Key Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and
agrees not to assert, any dissenters’ rights, right of appraisal or any similar right relating to the Merger that such Key Stockholder may have by virtue of, or with respect to, any shares of Company Capital Stock or other securities of the
Company owned by such Key Stockholder. 
  
 1.10 Further
Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation or Parent with full right,
title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise)
to take such action.

of such Damages in excess of $200,000. 
  
 (b) Subject to
Section 10.3(c), recourse to the Escrow Fund shall be the Indemnitees’ sole and exclusive remedy for monetary Damages resulting from the matters referred to in Section 10.2(a). 
  
 (c) The limitations set forth in Sections 10.3(a) and 10.3(b) shall not apply (i) in the case of fraudulent or
intentional misrepresentation or (ii) subject to Sections 10.3(d) and 10.3(e), to any Damages arising or resulting from or connected with any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Specified Representations. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, except in the case of fraudulent or intentional misrepresentation, the Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover directly from any Non-Dissenting Stockholder any Damages pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i), Section 10.2(a)(ii), Section
10.2(a)(iii) or 10.2(a)(ix) (as it relates to Legal Proceedings that give rise to indemnification claims by Parent under Sections 10.2(a)(i), 10.2(a)(ii) and 10.2(a)(iii)) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Specified Representations until
such time as the cumulative amount of all Damages that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Indemnitees has or have otherwise become subject, as a result of
any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Specified Representations, exceeds the aggregate Net Value of all Forfeited Options that shall have been forfeited or cancelled prior to such time. If the cumulative amount of such Damages exceeds the
aggregate Net Value of all Forfeited Options that shall have been forfeited or cancelled prior to the date such claim for Damages is finally resolved, then the Indemnitees shall be entitled to be recover directly from Non-Dissenting Stockholders the
amount of such Damages in excess of the aggregate Net Value of all Forfeited Options that shall have been forfeited or cancelled prior to such date. The provisions of this Section 10.3(d) shall not apply to any claim by an Indemnitee against the
Escrow Fund with respect to any matter described in this Section 10.3(d). 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except in the case of fraudulent or intentional misrepresentation, the maximum amount that the Indemnitees are entitled to recover
directly from any Non-Dissenting Stockholder under Section 10.2 with respect to any Damages shall be the lesser of (i) the product of (A) the percentage derived by deducting the Applicable Percentage (as defined in clause “(g)” below) from
50%, multiplied by (B) the amount of cash that such Non-Dissenting Stockholder actually receives pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) the product of (x) such Non-Dissenting Stockholder’s Escrow Percentage multiplied by (y) the
amount of such Damages (it being understood that (1) recovery by an Indemnitee from the Escrow Fund of amounts held on behalf of such Non-Dissenting 
  

 57. 

 Stockholder in the Escrow Fund shall not be included in calculating such maximum amount and amounts held on behalf of
such Non-Dissenting Stockholder in the Escrow Fund shall not be deemed to have been “actually received” for purposes of this Section 10.3(e) and (2) recovery by an Indemnitee of any amount pursuant to any right of setoff against any cash
otherwise payable or distributable to a Non-Dissenting Stockholder shall not be included in calculating such maximum amount and such setoff amounts shall not be deemed to have been “actually received” for purposes of this Section 10.3(e)).
The provisions of this Section 10.3(e) shall not apply to any claim by an Indemnitee against the Escrow Fund. 
  
 (f) Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights or remedies of any Indemnitee against any particular Non-Dissenting Stockholder, or the
Liability of any particular Non-Dissenting Stockholder, for a breach by such particular Non-Dissenting Stockholder of any provision of any agreement (other than this Agreement) executed and delivered by such Non-Dissenting Stockholder in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 (g)
For purposes of this Agreement, “Applicable Percentage” shall mean the percentage corresponding to a fraction having (1) a numerator equal to $10,000,000 and (2) a denominator equal to the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration to be
received by all Non-Dissenting Stockholders in exchange for all such Non-Dissenting Stockholders’ shares of Company Capital Stock in the Merger. 
  
 10.4 No Contribution. Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.12, each Non-Dissenting Stockholder waives, and acknowledges and agrees
that such Non-Dissenting Stockholder shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against Parent or against the Surviving Corporation or
any of the other Acquired Corporations in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such Non-Dissenting Stockholder may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement. 
  
 10.5 Insurance Proceeds. To the extent that any Indemnification
Claim is covered by insurance held by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Indemnitee, or for which Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Indemnitee is the beneficiary, such Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
Section 10 only with respect to the amount of Damages that are in excess of the proceeds actually received by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or such Indemnitee pursuant to such insurance with respect to the matter for which such Indemnitee was
seeking indemnification hereunder (net of any increased or retrospective premium or other costs or expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with or resulting from such insurance claim). If an Indemnitee actually receives such insurance
proceeds with respect to any Indemnification Claim after such Indemnification Claim has been fully paid to such Indemnitee out of the Escrow Fund or by one or more Non-Dissenting Stockholders, and such Indemnitee submitted a claim for such insurance
coverage to the applicable insurance company on or prior to the Expiration Date, then upon receipt by such Indemnitee of such insurance proceeds, such Indemnitee shall repay to the Escrow Fund or to the applicable Non-Dissenting Stockholder(s) who
paid such Indemnification Claim an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such Indemnification Claim actually received by such Indemnitee out of the Escrow Fund or from such Non-Dissenting Stockholder(s), or (b) the proceeds actually
received by such Indemnitee 
  

 58. 

 pursuant to such insurance with respect to the matter for such Indemnitee received such indemnification payment (net of
any increased or retrospective premium or other costs or expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with or resulting from such insurance claim). If the Indemnification Claim is covered by insurance held by Parent, the Surviving Corporation
or the Indemnitee, then the party holding such insurance shall use commercially reasonable efforts to submit a claim for such insurance coverage as soon as practicable after the discovery of such claim. 
  
 10.6 Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the
assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against the Surviving Corporation, against Parent or against any other Person) with respect to which any Indemnitee may be entitled to be held harmless, indemnified,
compensated or reimbursed pursuant to this Section 10, (a) Parent shall notify the Stockholders’ Representative promptly after Parent receives written notice of such claim or Legal Proceeding (it being understood that any failure by Parent to
so notify the Stockholders’ Representative shall have no effect on an Indemnitee’s ability to recover Damages pursuant to this Section 10), and (b) Parent shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such claim or
Legal Proceeding on its own with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Stockholders’ Representative. If Parent so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding: (i) all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim
or Legal Proceeding shall be borne and paid from the Escrow Fund or, if such claim or Legal Proceeding relates to any matter referred to in Section 10.2(b), by the Key Stockholder or Key Stockholders obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate
and reimburse such Indemnitee; (ii) the Stockholders’ Representative and each Key Stockholder shall make available to Parent any documents and materials that Parent determines in good faith may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Legal
Proceeding; and (iii) Parent shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Legal Proceeding; provided, however, that if Parent settles, adjusts or compromises any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the consent of the
Stockholders’ Representative, such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Damages incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such claim or Legal Proceeding (it being understood that if Parent
requests that the Stockholders’ Representative consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Stockholders’ Representative shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent). If Parent does not elect to proceed with the defense
of any such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Stockholders’ Representative shall (at the sole expense of the Non-Dissenting Stockholders or, if such claim or Legal Proceeding relates to any matter referred to in Section 10.2(b), by the Key
Stockholder or Key Stockholders obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate and reimburse such Indemnitee) proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding with counsel reasonably acceptable to Parent; provided, however, that
the Stockholders’ Representative may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
  
 10.7 Setoff. Nothing in this Section 10 shall limit any rights
of setoff or other similar rights that Parent or any of the other Indemnitees may have at common law or otherwise. 
  
 10.8 Exercise of Remedies by Indemnitees Other Than Parent. No Indemnitee (other than Parent or any successor thereto or assign thereof)
shall be permitted to assert any 
  

 59. 

 indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Parent (or any successor thereto or assign
thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy. 
  
 10.9 Indemnification Claims; Escrow Arrangements. 
  
 (a) If any Indemnitee has incurred or suffered or expects in good faith that it could reasonably be expected incur or suffer, Damages for which it
is or would be entitled to be held harmless, indemnified, compensated or reimbursed under this Section 10, such Indemnitee may deliver a notice to the Stockholders’ Representative (any such notice being referred to as a “Notice of
Indemnification Claim,” and the claim for indemnification, compensation and reimbursement described in such Notice of Indemnification Claim being referred to as an “indemnification claim”), which shall (i) state that such Indemnitee
believes that that there is or has been an inaccuracy in or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or that such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to be held harmless, indemnified, compensated or
reimbursed under this Section 10, (ii) contain a reasonably detailed description of the circumstances supporting such Indemnitee’s belief that there is or has been such an inaccuracy or breach or that such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to be
held harmless, indemnified, compensated or reimbursed, including a reference to the section of this Agreement that such Indemnitee then believes provides a basis for such claim, (iii) contain a good faith, non-binding, preliminary estimate of
the aggregate dollar amount of the Damages that have arisen or that such Indemnitee expects in good faith to arise as a result of the inaccuracy, breach or other matter referred to in such notice (the aggregate amount of such estimate, as it may be
modified by such Indemnitee in good faith from time to time, being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”), and (iv) specify whether the indemnification claim described in such notice is being made by such Indemnitee (A) pursuant to Section
10.2(a) other than as the result of a breach of a Specified Representation (a “General Indemnity Claim”), (B) pursuant to Section 10.2(a) as a result of a breach of a Specified Representation (a “Specified Indemnity
Claim”) or (C) against a particular Key Stockholder pursuant to Section 10.2(b) (a “Key Stockholder Claim”). 
  
 (b) During the 30-day period commencing upon the delivery by an Indemnitee to the Stockholders’ Representative of a Notice of Indemnification
Claim (the “Dispute Period”), the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Indemnitee a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Stockholders’ Representative: (i) agrees that the full Claimed
Amount is owed to the Indemnitee; (ii) agrees that part (but not all) of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to the Indemnitee; or (iii) asserts that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee. Any part of the
Claimed Amount that is not agreed by the Stockholders’ Representative to be owed to the Indemnitee pursuant to the Response Notice (or the entire Claimed Amount, if the Stockholders’ Representative asserts in the Response Notice that no
part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee) shall be referred to as the “Contested Amount” (it being understood that the Contested Amount shall be modified from time to time to reflect any good faith modifications by the
Indemnitee to the Claimed Amount). If a Response Notice is not received by the Indemnitee prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then the Stockholders’ Representative shall be conclusively and irrevocably deemed to have agreed that the
full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee. 
  

 60. 

 (c) If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers a Response Notice to the Indemnitee agreeing
that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, or if the Stockholders’ Representative does not deliver a Response Notice to the Indemnitee during the Dispute Period, then, within three days following the earlier of the delivery of such
Response Notice to the Indemnitee or the expiration of the Dispute Period: 
  
 (i) if the indemnification claim is a General Indemnity Claim or a Specified Indemnity Claim, then upon the written request of Parent, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall jointly execute and
deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Indemnitee from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the full Claimed Amount or (B) the entire amount of any cash remaining in the Escrow
Fund; 
  
 (ii) if the indemnification claim is a Specified
Indemnity Claim, then subject to the provisions of Section 10.3(d), upon the written request of Parent, the Non-Dissenting Stockholders shall pay to the Indemnitee, in cash, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (A) the full Claimed Amount over
(B) the amount paid to the Indemnitee out of the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 10.9(c)(i) with respect to such Specified Indemnity Claim; and 
  
 (iii) if the indemnification claim is a Key Stockholder Claim, the particular Key Stockholder that is responsible for satisfying such
indemnification claim shall pay the full Claimed Amount to the Indemnitee in cash. 
  
 (d) If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers a Response Notice during the Dispute Period to the Indemnitee agreeing that less than the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee (such amount as is
agreed to be owed the “Agreed Amount”), then, within three days following the delivery of such Response Notice to the Indemnitee: 
  
 (i) if the indemnification claim is a General Indemnity Claim or a Specified Indemnity Claim, then upon the written request of Parent, Parent and
the Stockholders’ Representative shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Indemnitee from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the Agreed Amount or
(B) the entire amount of any cash remaining in the Escrow Fund; 
  
 (ii) if the indemnification claim is a Specified Indemnity Claim, then subject to the provisions of Section 10.3(d), upon the written request of Parent, the Non-Dissenting Stockholders shall pay to the Indemnitee, in cash, an amount
equal to the excess (if any) of (A) the Agreed Amount over (B) the amount paid to the Indemnitee out of the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 10.9(d)(i) with respect to such Specified Indemnity Claim; and 
  
 (iii) if the indemnification claim is a Key Stockholder Claim, the
particular Key Stockholder that is responsible for satisfying such indemnification claim shall pay the Agreed Amount to the Indemnitee in cash. 
  

 61. 

 (e) If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers a Response Notice to the Indemnitee during
the Dispute Period indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Indemnitee shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount in a mutually convenient location. One
individual who is not an attorney and who has full settlement authority shall represent each side. That person may have an assistant who is not an attorney. If the Indemnitee and the Stockholders’ Representative resolve such dispute in writing,
then their resolution of such dispute shall be binding on the Stockholders’ Representative, the Key Stockholders, the other Non-Dissenting Stockholders and the Indemnitee and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to the Indemnitee
(the “Stipulated Amount”) shall be signed by the Indemnitee and the Stockholders’ Representative. Within three days after the execution of such settlement agreement: 
  
 (i) if the indemnification claim is a General Indemnity Claim or a Specified Indemnity Claim, then upon the written
request of Parent, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Indemnitee from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to the lesser
of (A) the Stipulated Amount or (B) the entire amount of any cash remaining in the Escrow Fund; 
  
 (ii) if the indemnification claim is a Specified Indemnity Claim, then subject to the provisions of Section 10.3(d), upon the written request of
Parent, the Non-Dissenting Stockholders shall pay to the Indemnitee, in cash, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (A) the Stipulated Amount over (B) the amount paid to the Indemnitee out of the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 10.9(e)(i) with
respect to such Specified Indemnity Claim; and 
  
 (iii)
if the indemnification claim is a Key Stockholder Claim, the particular Key Stockholder that is responsible for satisfying such indemnification claim shall pay the Stipulated Amount to the Indemnitee in cash. 
  
 (f) If the Stockholders’ Representative and the Indemnitee are
unable to resolve the dispute relating to any Contested Amount during the 30-day period commencing upon the delivery of the Response Notice (the “Initial Resolution Period”), either party may request non-binding mediation with the
assistance of a neutral mediator from a recognized mediation service. The party requesting the mediation shall arrange for the mediation services, subject to the approval of the other party, which the other party shall not withhold or delay
unreasonably. Mediation shall take place in a neutral, mutually convenient location. Mediation may be scheduled to begin any time after expiration of the Initial Resolution Period, but with at least 20 days’ notice to all parties. The persons
attending the mediation shall have the authority to accept a settlement. The party requesting the mediation shall bear the cost of mediation except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement. 
  
 (g) If the Stockholders’ Representative and the Indemnitee are
unable to resolve the dispute relating to any Contested Amount during the Initial Resolution Period, and neither party requests mediation, then either the Indemnitee or the Stockholders’ Representative may submit the contested portion of the
indemnification claim to binding arbitration in Orange County, California or Salt Lake City, Utah in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration 
  

 62. 

 Rules then in effect if the amount in controversy is less than $250,000, or the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and
Procedures then in effect if the amount in controversy is $250,000 or more. Arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator (or three arbitrators if the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000), who shall be independent from all of the parties to
such controversy and shall be mutually selected by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative; provided, however, that if Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative fail to mutually select an arbitrator within 15 business days
after the contested portion of the indemnification claim is submitted to arbitration, then the arbitrator shall be selected by JAMS in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules then in effect if the amount in controversy is less than
$250,000, or its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect if the amount in controversy is $250,000 or more. The parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the arbitration hearing to be conducted within 75 days
after the appointment of the arbitrator, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the decision of the arbitrator to be furnished within 15 days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing. The parties shall be entitled to only limited
discovery at the discretion of the arbitrator, and agree that any discovery shall be completed at least 10 days prior to the commencement of the arbitration hearing. The decision of the arbitrator shall relate solely: (i) to whether the Indemnitee
is entitled to recover the Contested Amount (or a portion thereof), and the portion of such Contested Amount the Indemnitee is entitled to recover; and (ii) to the determination of whether the Indemnitee is the prevailing party as provided below.
The final decision of the arbitrator shall be furnished to the Stockholders’ Representative, the Indemnitee and the Escrow Agent in writing, shall constitute a conclusive determination of the issues in question, binding upon the
Stockholders’ Representative, the Key Stockholders, the other Non-Dissenting Stockholders and the Indemnitee and shall not be contested by any of them. If the Indemnitee is determined by the arbitrator to be the prevailing party, then the
aggregate dollar amount of the arbitrator’s award to the Indemnitee shall be increased by the amount of the reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Indemnitee, and the fees and expenses associated with the
arbitration (including the arbitrator’s fees and expenses). If the Indemnitee is determined by the arbitrator not to be the prevailing party and the arbitrator determines that the Stockholders’ Representative is the prevailing party, then
any amount awarded by the arbitrator to the Indemnitee shall be reduced by the amount of the reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Stockholders’ Representative, and the fees and expenses associated with the
arbitration (including the arbitrator’s fees and expenses), and if no amount is awarded to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall reimburse the Stockholders’ Representative for its reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) and pay the fees and expenses associated with the arbitration (including the arbitrator’s fees and expenses). For purposes of this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall be deemed to be the prevailing party only if such Indemnitee is awarded an
amount in excess of the maximum amount offered by the Stockholder Representative after delivery of the applicable Response Notice, and the Non-Dissenting Stockholders shall be deemed to be the prevailing party only if he or she obtains a defense
verdict or has entered against him or her an award less than the maximum amount offered by the Stockholder Representative at any time after the delivery of the applicable Response Notice. If the arbitrator determines that the actions of a party or
its counsel have unreasonably or unnecessarily delayed the resolution of the matter, the arbitrator may in its discretion require such party to pay all or part of cost of the mediation and arbitration proceedings payable by the other party and may

  

 63. 

 require such party to pay all or part of the attorneys’ fees of the other party, regardless of which party is the
prevailing party. Within three days following the receipt of the final award of the arbitrator setting forth the aggregate amount owed to the Indemnitee (the “Award Amount”): 
  
 (i) if the indemnification claim is a General Indemnity Claim or a Specified Indemnity Claim, then upon the written
request of Parent, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Indemnitee from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to the lesser
of (A) the Award Amount or (B) the entire amount of any cash remaining in the Escrow Fund; 
  
 (ii) if the indemnification claim is a Specified Indemnity Claim, then subject to the provisions of Section 10.3(d), upon the written request of Parent, the Non-Dissenting Stockholders shall pay to the
Indemnitee, in cash, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (A) the Award Amount over (B) the amount paid to the Indemnitee out of the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 10.9(g)(i) with respect to such Specified Indemnity Claim; and 
  
 (iii) if the indemnification claim is a Key Stockholder Claim, the
particular Key Stockholder that is responsible for satisfying such indemnification claim shall pay the Award Amount to the Indemnitee in cash. 
  
 (h) Within 10 days after the Expiration Date, if the amount of cash remaining in the Escrow Fund (the “Escrow Balance”) exceeds the
aggregate amount of Damages for which indemnification is being sought under Section 10.2 pursuant to all Notices of Indemnification Claims delivered prior to the Expiration Date that have not been finally resolved and paid prior to the Expiration
Date in accordance with this Section 10.9 (each, an “Unresolved Escrow Claim”), Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to
disburse to each Non-Dissenting Stockholder from the Escrow Fund, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 of the Escrow Agreement, an amount equal to the product of (i) such Non-Dissenting Stockholder’s Escrow Percentage and (ii) the amount by
which the Escrow Balance exceeds the aggregate amount of such Damages claimed in such Notices of Indemnification Claims. 
  
 (i) Following the Expiration Date, if an Unresolved Escrow Claim is finally resolved, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall
jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three days after the final resolution of such Unresolved Escrow Claim and the payment to the Indemnitee of all amounts payable to the Indemnitee from the Escrow Fund, a written notice
instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to each Non-Dissenting Stockholder from the Escrow Fund, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 of the Escrow Agreement, an amount equal to the product of (i) such Non-Dissenting Stockholder’s Escrow
Percentage and (ii) the amount by which the Escrow Balance exceeds the aggregate amount of Damages claimed in Notices of Indemnification Claims with respect to all remaining Unresolved Escrow Claims. 
  
 (j) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Escrow
Agreement to the contrary, in the event that there is a pending General Indemnity Claim or a pending Key Stockholder Claim brought by Parent directly against any Non-Dissenting 
  

 64. 

 Stockholder that has not been finally resolved and paid in accordance with this Section 10.9 at the time that any
distribution to such Non-Dissenting Stockholder is to be made from the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 10.9(h) or 10.9(i), Parent may, in its sole discretion, elect to require the Escrow Agent to deduct from the amount that would otherwise be
distributed to such Non-Dissenting Stockholder, and to retain in the Escrow Fund, the aggregate amount claimed by the Indemnitee to be owed by such Non-Dissenting Stockholder pending final resolution and payment of the Indemnitee’s
indemnification claim against such Non-Dissenting Stockholder. 
  
 (k) The parties agree that any amount paid to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 10 shall be treated as a reduction in the Aggregate Transaction Value for federal income tax purposes. 
  
 SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  
 11.1 Stockholders’ Representative.

Agreement) and the other Non-Dissenting Stockholders (by virtue of the approval of the Merger and the adoption of this Agreement) hereby irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint The Canopy Group, Inc. as the Stockholders’ Representative and
the agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Non-Dissenting Stockholders, with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of the Non-Dissenting Stockholders for purposes of executing any documents and taking any actions
that the Stockholders’ Representative may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in all matters relating to or arising out of this Agreement, including in connection with any claim for indemnification,
compensation or reimbursement under Section 10 or under the Escrow Agreement. The Canopy Group, Inc. hereby accepts its appointment as the Stockholders’ Representative. 
  
 (b) The Non-Dissenting Stockholders (by virtue of the approval of the Merger and the adoption of this Agreement)
grant to the Stockholders’ Representative full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of the Non-Dissenting Stockholders (in the name of any or all of the Non-Dissenting Stockholders or otherwise) any and all
documents that the Stockholders’ Representative may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Stockholders’ Representative may, in its sole discretion,
determine to be appropriate, in performing its duties as contemplated by Section 11.1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Contract executed in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, each
Indemnitee shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholders’ Representative on all matters relating to Section 10 and the Escrow Agreement, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever)
on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Non-Dissenting Stockholder by the Stockholders’ Representative with respect to matters relating to Section 10 or the Escrow Agreement, and on any other action taken or
purported to be taken on behalf of any Non-Dissenting Stockholder by the Stockholders’ Representative with respect to matters relating to Section 10 or the Escrow Agreement, as fully binding upon such Non-Dissenting Stockholder. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.1, the Stockholders’ Representative shall not have the 
  

 65. 

 authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify, file or take any other action (other than actions ministerial in
nature) without the prior written consent of Allen & Buckeridge Asset Management Limited, as Trustee for Allen & Buckeridge III. 
  
 (c) The power of attorney granted in Section 11.1(a): (i) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; (ii) may be delegated by the
Stockholders’ Representative; and (iii) shall survive the dissolution, death or incapacity of each of the Non-Dissenting Stockholders. 
  
 (d) If the Stockholders’ Representative shall die, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill his responsibilities as agent of the
Non-Dissenting Stockholders, then the Key Stockholders shall, within 10 days after such death or disability, appoint a successor agent for the Non-Dissenting Stockholders and, promptly thereafter, shall notify Parent of the identity of such
successor. Any such successor shall become the “Stockholders’ Representative” for purposes of this Agreement. If for any reason there is no Stockholders’ Representative at any time, all references herein to the Stockholders’
Representative shall be deemed to refer to the Key Stockholders. 
  
 (e) All expenses incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with the performance of its duties as Stockholders’ Representative shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Key Stockholders. All of the
indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Stockholders’ Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Non-Dissenting Stockholders shall indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative and hold the Stockholders’ Representative
harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholders’
Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Stockholders’ Representative. 
  
 11.2 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other
documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the Contemplated Transactions. 
  
 11.3 Attorneys’ Fees. If any Legal Proceeding relating to
this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement is brought against any party hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other relief to
which the prevailing party may be entitled). For purposes of this Agreement, any party bringing an action against another party shall be deemed to be the prevailing party only if such party is awarded an amount in excess of the maximum amount
offered by the opposing party after the filing of the complaint in such action, and the defending party shall be deemed to be the prevailing party only such party obtains a defense verdict or has entered against such party an award less than the
maximum amount offered by such party at any time after the filing of the complaint in such action. 
  

 66.

 IMPORTANT NOTICE 
  
 THIS NOTE CONTAINS A CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT PROVISION WHICH CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF
IMPORTANT RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE AS A BORROWER AND ALLOWS BANK TO OBTAIN A JUDGMENT AGAINST YOU WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE. 
  
 Borrower promises to pay to the order of Bank, in lawful money of the United States of America, at its office indicated above or wherever else Bank may specify, the sum
of Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($400,000.00) or such sum as may be advanced and outstanding from time to time, with interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate and on the terms provided in this Promissory Note (including all
renewals, extensions or modifications hereof, this “Note”). 
  
 LINE
OF CREDIT. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow, and, upon the request of Borrower, Bank shall advance and readvance under this Note from time to time until the maturity hereof (each an “Advance” and together the
“Advances”), so long as the total principal balance outstanding under this Note at any one time does not exceed the principal amount stated on the face of this Note, subject to the limitations described in any loan agreement to which this
Note is subject. Bank’s obligation to make Advances under this Note shall terminate if Borrower is in Default. As of the date of each proposed Advance, Borrower shall be deemed to represent that each representation made in the Loan Documents is
true as of such date. 
  
 If Borrower subscribes to Bank’s cash management
services and such services are applicable to this line of credit, the terms of such service shall control the manner in which funds are transferred between the applicable demand deposit account and the line of credit for credit or debit to the line
of credit. 
  
 USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the
loan(s) evidenced by this Note for the commercial purposes of Borrower, as follows: to provide the initial start-up capital investment for the creation of Apple REIT Seven, Inc. 
  

 INTEREST RATE. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from the date hereof at the
Bank’s Prime Rate, as that rate may change from time to time in accordance with changes in the Bank’s Prime Rate (“Interest Rate”). “Bank’s Prime Rate” means that rate announced by Bank from time to time as its
prime rate and is one of several interest rate bases used by Bank. Bank lends at rates both above and below Bank’s Prime Rate, and Borrower acknowledges that Bank’s Prime Rate is not represented or intended to be the lowest or most
favorable rate of interest offered by Bank. 
  
 DEFAULT RATE. In addition
to all other rights contained in this Note, if a Default (as defined herein) occurs and as long as a Default continues, all outstanding Obligations, other than Obligations under any swap agreements (as defined in Ii U.S.C. § 101, as in effect
from time to time) between Borrower and Bank or its affiliates, shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus 3% (“Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall also apply from acceleration until the Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in
full. 
  
 INTEREST AND FEE(S) COMPUTATION (ACTUAL/360). Interest and fees,
if any, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days in the applicable period (“Actual/360 Computation”). The Actual/360 Computation determines the annual effective interest yield by taking the stated
(nominal) rate for a years period and then dividing said rate by 360 to determine the daily periodic rate to be applied for each day in the applicable period. Application of the Actual/360 Computation produces an annualized effective rate exceeding
the nominal rate. 
  
 REPAYMENT TERMS. This Note shall be due and payable
in consecutive monthly payments of accrued interest only, commencing on June 30, 2005, and continuing on the last day of each month thereafter until fully paid. In any event, all principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable on June 30,
2006. 
  
 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Monies received by Bank from any source
for application toward payment of the Obligations shall be applied to accrued interest and then to principal. If a Default occurs, monies may be applied to the Obligations in any manner or order deemed appropriate by Bank. 
  
 If any payment received by Bank under this Note or other Loan Documents is rescinded, avoided
or for any reason returned by Bank because of any adverse claim or threatened action, the returned payment shall remain payable as an obligation of all persons liable under this Note or other Loan Documents as though such payment had not been made.

  
 DEFINITIONS. Loan Documents. The term “Loan
Documents”, as used in this Note and the other Loan Documents, refers to all documents executed in connection with or related to the loan evidenced by this Note and any prior notes which evidence all or any portion of the loan evidenced by this
Note, and any letters of credit issued pursuant to any loan agreement to which this Note is subject, any applications for such letters of credit and any other documents executed in connection therewith or related thereto, and may include, without
limitation, a commitment letter that survives closing, a loan agreement, this Note, guaranty agreements, security agreements, security instruments, financing statements, mortgage instruments, any renewals or modifications, whenever any of the

effect from time to time) between Borrower and Bank, or its affiliates, whenever executed. Certain Other Terms. All terms that are used but not otherwise defined in any of the Loan Documents shall have the definitions provided in the Uniform
Commercial Code. 
  
 LATE CHARGE. If any payments are not timely made,
Borrower shall also pay to Bank a late charge equal to 5% of each payment past due for 8 or more days. This late charge shall not apply to payments due at maturity or by acceleration hereof, unless such late payment is in an amount not greater than
the highest periodic payment due hereunder. 
  
 Acceptance by Bank of any late
payment without an accompanying late charge shall not be deemed a waiver of Bank’s right to collect such late charge or to collect a late charge for any subsequent late payment received. 
  
 ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND OTHER COLLECTION COSTS. Borrower shall pay all of Bank’s
reasonable expenses incurred to enforce or collect any of the Obligations including, without limitation, reasonable arbitration, paralegals’, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, whether incurred without the commencement of a
suit, in any trial, arbitration, or administrative proceeding, or in any appellate or bankruptcy proceeding. 
  
 USURY. If at any time the effective interest rate under this Note would, but for this paragraph, exceed the maximum lawful rate, the effective interest rate under this Note shall be the maximum lawful rate, and
any amount received by Bank in excess of such rate shall be applied to principal and then to fees and expenses, or, if no such amounts are owing, returned to Borrower.

due in accordance with and governed by the provisions of said swap agreements; whereupon this Note and the accelerated Obligations shall be immediately due and payable; provided, however, if the Default is based upon a bankruptcy or insolvency
