 The restrictions imposed on the Restricted Stock Award shall lapse as set forth below. Except as

 Termination of Service: 
 In
the event of Grantee’s Termination of Service, the Restricted Stock Award shall be deemed earned or forfeited as follows: 
 Termination of Service due to death, Disability, or Retirement. On Termination of Service due to death or Disability, the restrictions on the Restricted Stock subject to the Award shall lapse as to a pro rata portion of the shares of
such Restricted Stock (net of any shares as to which the restrictions previously have lapsed), with such pro rata portion based on the ratio of the number of days between the Grant Date and the date of Termination of Service to the number of days
between the Grant Date and the date on which all such restrictions were scheduled to lapse under the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Plan, on Termination of Service due to Retirement, the restrictions on the Restricted Stock
subject to the Award shall lapse

 only in accordance with the schedule set forth above and shall not accelerate on a pro rata (or any
other) basis. In any of such events, Grantee shall forfeit the balance of such Restricted Stock as to which the restrictions have not yet lapsed, and the Restricted Stock so forfeited shall be returned to the Company. 
 Termination by the Company for Cause, or by any event not specified in the previous paragraph (except for a Change in Control which is governed by
Section 17 of the Plan): The portion of the Restricted Stock Award for which the restrictions have not lapsed as of the Termination of Service shall be forfeited immediately after the Company’s notice or advice of such Termination of
Service for Cause is dispatched to Grantee or on the date of Termination of Service for any other reason.

 APPENDIX A 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR RESTRICTED STOCK 
 1. Grant. The Company grants to the Grantee a Restricted
Stock Award for the number of shares of Stock, at no par value, set forth in the Award Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions
of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. 
 2. Term. Subject to earlier lapse
of restrictions for the shares of Stock as provided in the Plan, the restrictions set forth herein shall lapse in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 below. This agreement shall terminate when all of the shares of Stock either have
vested in accordance with Section 4 or have been forfeited upon a Termination of Service. 
 3. Restrictions on Transfer.

 (a) Except as provided below, the Award shall be nontransferable and shall not be assignable, alienable, saleable, or otherwise
transferable by the Grantee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order. The terms of this Award Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of
the Grantee. No non-permitted transferee of the Grantee shall have any right in or claim to any Restricted Stock. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Grantee may transfer, without consideration for such transfer, any Restricted Stock Award subject to this Award Agreement, in whole or in part, to one or more of the following persons (and only the following persons): (i) the
Grantee’s spouse, former spouse, children including adopted children, step-children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, first cousins, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brothers-in-law, or
sisters-in-law (“immediate family members”), or such other persons as may be approved in writing by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion (“approved transferees”), or (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive
benefit of the Grantee or any such immediate family members or approved transferees. Immediate family members, approved transferees and trusts for their benefit may not retransfer this Option in whole or in part other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. 
 (c) In order to effectuate a transfer pursuant to Section 3(b) above, the transfer must be in writing in an
instrument submitted to the Company within ten (10) business days after its execution. In such writing, the transferee must agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement. The Company may grant or
withhold its consent to the transfer or the terms of the transfer in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event the Company does not notify Grantee in writing of its disapproval of the transfer or its terms within ten (10) business days of
receipt by the Company of a copy of the written transfer instrument from the Grantee, the transfer shall be deemed approved. 
 (d) Transfers
of the Award under Section 3(b) above may not be a transfer for consideration (for example, sales or exchanges of the Award are not permitted). 
  

 3 

 (e) Following any transfer hereunder, the Award shall continue to be subject to the same terms and
conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer. The term “Grantee” shall be deemed to refer to the transferee, except that Termination of Service shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Grantee rather
than the transferee. 
 (f) Shares of Stock that have vested and are no longer subject to restrictions pursuant to Section 4 may be
transferred by the Grantee, subject to applicable federal and state securities law restrictions. 
 (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Grantee may transfer shares of Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(f) above only to the extent necessary to provide for the payment of taxes resulting from the lapse of restrictions pursuant to Section 4 hereof until the earliest
to occur of (i) the Grantee’s Termination of Service, (ii) a Change in Control as defined in subsection 2(g) of the plan, or (iii) «Expiration_Date». On and after the earliest of such dates, Section 3(f) shall
apply to all shares of Stock that have vested and are no longer subject to restrictions pursuant to Section 4. 
 4. Lapse of Restrictions.

 (a) Longevity Restrictions. The restrictions shall lapse with respect to the shares of Stock covered by this Restricted Stock Award,
in the installments set forth in the Award Agreement, provided that the Grantee’s service as an Employee continues through the specified dates. 
 (b) Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control as defined in subsection 2(g) of the Plan, all restrictions shall lapse. 
 (c) Action by Committee. The Committee shall have the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to remove any or all of the restrictions applicable to such shares of Stock whenever the Committee may
determine that such action is appropriate by reason of changes to applicable tax or other laws. 
 5. Fractional Shares. No fractional
shares shall be delivered to Grantee. Any fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, provided that such fractional shares shall be aggregated and vested on the date when all restrictions lapse or expire. 
  

 4 

 6. Legends. 
 (a) If Restricted Stock is held in certificated form, until all restrictions lapse, certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock issued pursuant to the Award Agreement shall bear the following legend:

 “The shares represented by this certificate are subject to reacquisition by Greater Bay Bancorp, and such shares may
not be sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to the provisions of the Award Agreement by and between Greater Bay Bancorp and the registered owner of such shares.” 
 (b) If Restricted Stock is held in certificated form, certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock issued pursuant to the Award Agreement shall
bear the following legend: 
 “The shares represented by this certificate are owned by a person or persons who may be
considered an affiliate for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). No transfer of these securities or any interest therein may be made unless the issuer has received an opinion of counsel or other evidence
satisfactory to it that shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or another available exemption under the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.” 
 7. Escrow. 
 (a) Until all restrictions have lapsed, the Company’s Secretary or such other escrow
holder as the Committee may appoint, shall retain custody of the stock certificates or book-entry shares representing the Restricted Stock subject to the Award; provided, however, that in no event shall the Grantee retain physical custody of any
certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock awarded to him or her. 
 (b) The Grantee further agrees that simultaneously with his or
her execution of the Award Agreement, he or she shall execute stock powers in favor of the Company with respect to the shares of Stock granted hereunder in the form attached hereto and that he or she shall promptly deliver such stock powers to the
Company. 
 8. Rights as a Shareholder. Upon the delivery of Restricted Stock to the escrow holder pursuant to subsection 7(a),
Grantee shall have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock, subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, including the right to vote the Restricted Stock and the right to receive all
dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Restricted Stock; provided, however, that any additional shares of Restricted Stock to which the Grantee shall be entitled as a result of stock dividends, stock splits, or any other
form of recapitalization in respect of shares of Restricted Stock shall also be subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement until the restrictions on the underlying shares of Restricted Stock lapse or expire. Grantee acknowledges
that any dividends paid to the Grantee with respect to any share of the Restricted Stock prior to the lapse of any restrictions with respect to such share shall be compensation income rather than dividend income unless the Grantee has made an
election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to such Share. 
 9. Removal of Legends on Certificates and Return of Stock
Powers. When restrictions lapse and the Company delivers to the Grantee the certificates in respect of shares of 
  

 5 

 Stock or book-entry shares, the Grantee shall also receive back the related stock powers held by the Company pursuant to
subsection 7(b) above. The distributed shares of Stock shall be free of the restrictions, and such certificate, if any, shall not bear the legend provided for in Section 6(a) above (but shall continue to bear the legend provided in
Section 6(b) above). 
 10. Code Section 83(b) Election. Grantee agrees to notify the Company immediately in writing in the
event Grantee makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (or any successor provision) or corresponding provisions of state or local tax laws with respect to this Award. In that event, any required withholding and/or employment tax
payments as a result of such election shall thereupon be made. Such withholding may be from the Grantee’s compensation from the Company or from cash supplied by the Grantee. 
 11. Separate Advice and Representation. The Company is not providing the Grantee with advice, warranties, or representations regarding any of the
legal, tax, or business effects to Grantee with respect to the Plan or this Award Agreement. The Grantee is encouraged to seek legal, tax, and business advice from the Grantee’s own legal, tax, and business advisers as soon as possible. By
accepting this Award and the shares of Stock covered thereby, and by signing this Award Agreement, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is familiar with the terms of the Award Agreement and the Plan, that the Grantee has been encouraged by the
Company to discuss the Award and the Plan with Grantee’s own legal, tax, and business advisers, and that the Grantee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement. 
 12. Tax Withholding. 
 (a) The Company
will assess its requirements regarding federal, state, and local income taxes, FICA taxes, and any other applicable taxes (“Tax Items”) in connection with the Restricted Stock. These requirements may change from time to time as laws or
interpretations change. The Company will withhold Tax Items as required by law. Regardless of the Company’s actions in this regard, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for Tax Items is the Grantee’s
responsibility. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company: 
 (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment
of any Tax Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock, including the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired under the Plan; and 
 (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the Restricted Stock or any aspect of the Restricted Stock to reduce or eliminate liability for Tax Items. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, no certificate representing the shares of Stock or book-entry shares will be issued
to Grantee, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by the Grantee with respect to the payment of income, employment, and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to
such shares of Stock so issuable. The Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit the Grantee to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part (without limitation)
by one or more of the following: (i) paying cash, (ii) delivering to the Company already vested and owned shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is 
  

 6 

 effected) equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (iii) by authorizing the Company to hold back a number of
shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to the Grantee through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected)
equal to the amount required to be withheld. 
 13. No Acquired Rights. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that: 
 (a) the grant of this Award under the Plan is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of any
Awards or benefits in lieu of any Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past and regardless of any reasonable notice period mandated under local law; 
 (b) the value of this Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of an employment contract, if any; 
 (c) this Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, pension, retirement benefits, or similar payments; 
 (d) the future value of the shares of Stock awarded under the
Plan, if any, is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; 
 (e) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the
termination of this Award or diminution in value of this Award or shares of Stock received under the Plan, and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company from any such claim; and 
 (f) participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Company or employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the
Company or employer to terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause. 
 14. Adjustment of Shares. In the
event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in shares of Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than shares of Stock in an amount that has a material effect on the value of shares of
Stock, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Stock, a recapitalization, a spin-off, a merger, consolidation or other reorganization involving the
Company that would not constitute a Change in Control, or any other similar occurrence, the Company shall make appropriate adjustments in the number of shares covered by the Restricted Stock Award. 
 Except as provided in this Section 14, Grantee shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class,
the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and
no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award. The grant of the Restricted Stock pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company
to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
  

 7 

 15. Notices. Except as may be otherwise provided by the Plan, any written notices provided for in
the Plan and this Award Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given if either hand delivered or if sent by fax or overnight courier, or by postage paid first class mail. Notices sent by mail shall be deemed received three
business days after mailed but in no event later than the date of actual receipt. Notice may also be provided by electronic submission, if and to the extent permitted by the Committee. Notices shall be directed, if to the Grantee, at the
Grantee’s address indicated by the Company’s records, or if to the Company, at the Company’s principal office, attention Human Resources Department. 
 16. Severability. The provisions of the Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions may be determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions
shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable. 
 17. Counterparts; Further Instruments. The Award Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The parties hereto agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may be reasonably
necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Award Agreement. 
 18. Amendment. The Award Agreement may be amended or
modified by the Committee, including amendments and modifications that may affect the tax status of the Award, provided that such action may not, without the consent of the Grantee, impair any rights of the Grantee under the Award Agreement.

 19. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan and this Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Grantee’s interest except by
means of a writing signed by the Company and the Grantee. This agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of California.

 This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER is made and entered into as of

Sub”), 3e Technologies International, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Chih-Hsiang Li, as Stockholders’ Agent, and Steven Chen, James Whang, Chih-Hsiang Li and AEPCO, Inc. (each a “Principal

 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Acquiror, Merger Sub and the

Table of Contents

or Acquiror as of the date of any disbursement will be retained by Acquiror and will not be reallocated among other Retention Program participants or otherwise paid in connection with such disbursement or any subsequent disbursement. Any amount
allocated to any Retention Program participant who fails to achieve the applicable performance goals and objectives with respect to which such amount has been allocated will be retained by Acquiror and will not be reallocated among other Retention

 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.9(a) hereof, if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure
to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights under MCC, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be cancelled and extinguished and thereafter
represent only the right to receive that portion of the Total Consideration as set forth in Section 1.7(b) hereof, without interest thereon, and subject to the escrow provisions of Section 1.10 and Article 8 hereof, upon surrender of the
certificate representing such shares. 
 (c) The Company shall give Acquiror (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal
received by the Company pursuant to MCC, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not,

Table of Contents

 except with the prior written consent of Acquiror, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer
to settle or settle any such demands. Subject to the foregoing, to the extent that Acquiror or the Company (A) makes any payment or payments in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been
payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement or (B) incurs any other costs or expenses, (including specifically, but without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection with any action or proceeding
or in connection with any investigation) in respect of any Dissenting Shares (excluding payments for such shares) (together “Dissenting Share Payments”), Acquiror shall be entitled to recover, subject to the terms of Article 8
hereof, the amount of such Dissenting Share Payments without regard to the Damage Threshold (as defined in Section 8.3 hereof). 
 
1.10 Escrow. 
 (a) Acquiror will withhold $3,600,000 of the Total Consideration (the “Base
Escrow Amount”) that would otherwise be delivered to the Company Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement and will deliver such Base Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent to be held by the Escrow Agent as security for the indemnification
obligations under Article 8 and pursuant to the provisions of the Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Escrow Agreement”) that is being entered into as of the Effective Time by
Acquiror, the Escrow Agent, the Company and the Stockholders’ Agent. 
 (b) In addition to the Base Escrow Amount, Acquiror will
withhold an additional amount of the Total Consideration as set forth under the caption “Total Supplemental Escrow Amount” on Schedule 1.10(b) hereof (the “Supplemental Escrow Amount”) and will deliver such
Supplemental Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent to be held by the Escrow Agent as additional security for the indemnification obligations under Article 8 and pursuant to the provisions of the Escrow Agreement with respect to Damages resulting from
any breach of Sections 2.3, 2.32, 2.34 and 3.1, and any Dissenting Share Payments pursuant to Section 1.9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Company Stockholder listed on Schedule 1.10(b) delivers its Stockholder
Acknowledgement and Waiver prior to the Closing Date, then the Supplemental Escrow Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the value set forth opposite such Company Stockholder’s name on Schedule 1.10(b) under the caption
“Supplemental Escrow Amount,” and the portion so reduced shall be included in the portion of the Total Consideration to be paid in accordance with Section 1.11. The aggregate Base Escrow Amount plus the Supplemental Escrow Amount
shall be referred to as the “Escrow Amount.”

exchange in accordance with this Article 1, the amount of the Total Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.7(b) hereof and (ii) pay to the Surviving Corporation in accordance with this Article 1 the amount of the Total Consideration
payable to all holders of vested and unexercised Company Stock Options pursuant to Section 1.7(e) and all holders of vested and unexercised Company Warrants pursuant to Section 1.7(f), less the Escrow Amount, which shall be deposited with
the Escrow Agent as contemplated by Section 1.10 hereof in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Stock. 
 (c) On or after the
Closing Date, the Company shall or shall cause the Exchange Agent to, mail a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) to each Company Stockholder at the address set forth opposite each such Company Stockholder’s name
on the Certified Capitalization Table. After receipt of such Letter of Transmittal, the Company Stockholders will surrender the certificates representing their shares of Company Stock to the Exchange Agent for cancellation together with a duly
completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal. Upon the surrender of a stock certificate representing shares of the Company Stock for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, or such other agent or agents as may be appointed by the Acquiror,
together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, subject to the terms of Section 1.11(d) hereof, the holder of such stock certificate shall be entitled to receive from
the Exchange Agent in exchange therefor, the amount of the Total Consideration (less the portion of the Total Consideration to be deposited in the Escrow Fund on such holder’s behalf pursuant to Sections 1.10 hereof) to which such holder
is entitled pursuant to Section 1.7(b) hereof, and all stock certificates so surrendered shall be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each stock certificate representing shares of Company Stock outstanding after the Effective Time will be deemed
from and for all corporate purposes thereafter, to evidence only the right to receive the portion of the Total Consideration for which such shares of Company Stock shall have been so exchanged. No payments of any portion of the Total Consideration
will be made until the holder of Company Stock surrenders his, her or its stock certificate(s) pursuant hereto. 
 (d) If any portion of the
Total Consideration is to be paid to a Person with a name other than that in which the Company Stock certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of such payment that the certificate so surrendered will be
properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange will have paid to Acquiror or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of any portion of the
Total Consideration in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Acquiror or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.11, neither the Exchange Agent, nor the Surviving Corporation, nor any party hereto
shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. 
 
1.12 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The payment of the Total Consideration paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be
deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to 
  

 8 

Table of Contents

 such shares of Company Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving
Corporation of shares of Company Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any stock certificates representing shares of Company Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any
reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article 1. 
 
1.13 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost,
stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such amount of Total Consideration, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.7(b) hereof; provided, however, that Acquiror may,
in its discretion and as a condition precedent to such payment, require the Company Stockholder who is the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to either (a) deliver a bond in such amount as it may reasonably direct or
(b) provide an indemnification agreement in a form and substance acceptable to Acquiror, against any claim that may be made against Acquiror or the Exchange Agent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

 
1.14 Net Assets Adjustment. 
 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Assets” as of
a certain date shall mean the total assets less the total liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case determined in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with the Financial Statements. 
 (b) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date (but no later than ninety (90) days thereafter), Acquiror will prepare and deliver to the
Stockholders’ Agent, a balance sheet of the Company, including a computation of the amount of Net Assets (the “Net Assets Calculation”) as of the Effective Time, prepared in accordance with GAAP and audited by the independent
public accounting firm which audits Acquiror’s financial statements; provided that for the purposes of the Net Assets Calculation, such balance sheet shall reflect that the expenses and liabilities which comprise the Adjustment Amount have been
paid or otherwise satisfied and shall no longer appear in such balance sheet. If the Stockholders’ Agent agrees with the Net Assets Calculation or does not object to such computation within ten (10) days after receipt of such computation
by delivering a Net Assets Objection Notice (as defined below) to Acquiror, the Net Assets Computation shall be deemed to be final and conclusive and shall be binding on the Company, the Stockholders’ Agent and each of the Company
Securityholders. If the Stockholders’ Agent disagrees with the Net Assets Calculation, the Stockholders’ Agent shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of the Net Assets Calculation, deliver a notice (an “Net Assets Objection
Notice”) to Acquiror setting forth the Stockholders’ Agent’s proposed calculation of the amount of Net Assets as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Agent will use their respective
commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreements as to the computation of the amount of Net Assets, but if they do not obtain a final resolution within thirty (30) days after Acquiror has received the Net Assets Objection Notice,
then all amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted to an independent public accountant (the “Neutral Auditor”) selected by the Stockholders’ Agent and Acquiror within ten (10) days after expiration of such thirty
(30) day period. Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Agent will direct the Neutral Auditor to render a determination within sixty (60) days of its retention and Acquiror, the Company, the Stockholders’ Agent, the Principal
Stockholders and the employees

Table of Contents

 
of Acquiror and the Company will cooperate with the Neutral Auditor during their engagement. The Neutral Auditor will consider only those items and amounts
set forth in the Net Assets Objection Notice which Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Agent are unable to resolve; provided that, each of Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Agent shall be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral
Auditor regarding the items and amounts that Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Agent are unable to resolve. In making its determination, the Neutral Auditor shall (i) be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without
limitation, the definition of Net Assets and the terms of this Section 1.14, and (ii) not assign any value with respect to a disputed amount that is greater than the highest value for such amount claimed by either Acquiror or the
Stockholders’ Agent or that is less than the lowest value for such amount claimed by either Acquiror or the Stockholders’ Agent. The determination of the Neutral Auditor will be conclusive and binding upon Acquiror, the Company, the
Stockholders’ Agent and each of the Company Securityholders. Acquiror and the Company Securityholders will each pay one half of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditor, with the Company Securityholders’ portion to be deducted from the
Escrow Fund. The amount of Net Assets, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.14, is referred to herein as “Actual Closing Net Assets.” 
 (c) In the event that the Actual Closing Net Assets is less than $0.00, the Stockholders’ Agent will, as soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of Actual Closing Net Assets but in no event more
than two (2) days thereafter, authorize Acquiror and the Escrow Agent to deduct from the Escrow Fund, and the Escrow Agent shall release to Acquiror from the Escrow Fund, an amount equal to (i) $0.00 minus the amount of Actual
Closing Net Assets, plus (ii) one-half of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditor, if any, incurred pursuant Subsection 1.14(b). 
 
1.15 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the
Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, Acquiror, Merger Sub, and the officers and directors of the Company, Acquiror and Merger Sub are fully
authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

Date,” and the period between the Closing and the Expiration Date shall be referred to as the “Escrow Period”), provided, however, that the portion of the Base Escrow Amount, which, in the reasonable judgment of
Acquiror, subject to the objection of the Stockholders’ Agent and the subsequent resolution of the matter in the manner provided in Section 8.7, is necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate
theretofore delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholders’ Agent prior to termination of the Escrow Period, shall remain in the Escrow Fund until such claims have been finally resolved, or, if earlier, until released in accordance with
Section 8.1 above and 8.5 below. 
 (b) The portion of the Escrow Fund that is comprised of the Supplemental Escrow Amount shall
terminate on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company has received the Stockholder Acknowledgement and Waivers from all of the Company Stockholders, or (ii) the Expiration Date (the “Supplemental Expiration Date”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Company Stockholder listed on Schedule 1.10(b) delivers a Stockholder Acknowledgement and Waiver (i) after the Closing but before the ninetieth (90th) day after the Closing Date (the “Supplemental Escrow Release Date”), a portion of the Supplemental Escrow Amount equal to the

within five (5) business days after the Supplemental Escrow Release Date and (ii) after the Supplemental Escrow Release Date but before the Supplemental Expiration Date, a portion of the Supplemental Escrow Amount equal to the aggregate

five (5) business days after the Supplemental Expiration Date; provided, however, that in each such case such amounts shall be reduced by any amounts in the Escrow Fund necessary to satisfy any indemnification obligations under Article 8
with respect to Damages resulting from any breach of Sections 2.3, 2.32, 2.34 and 3.1, and any Dissenting Share Payments pursuant to Section 1.9 set forth in any Officer’s Certificate (as defined below) delivered on or prior to the
Supplemental 
  

 50 

Table of Contents

 Expiration Date or the Supplemental Escrow Release Date, as applicable. Any portion of the Supplemental Escrow Amount
that remains in the Escrow Fund on the Expiration Date shall be delivered to the Acquiror within five (5) days after the Expiration Date in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. 
 
8.5 Claims Upon Escrow Fund. Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent on or before the last day of the Escrow Period of a certificate signed by any appropriately authorized officer of Acquiror (an
“Officer’s Certificate”): 
 (i) Stating the aggregate amount of Acquiror’s Damages or an estimate thereof, in
each case to the extent known or determinable at such time, and 
 (ii) Specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Damages
included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or properly accrued or arose, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach or claim to which such item is related, then the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of
Sections 8.3, 8.7 and 8.8 hereof, deliver to Acquiror or any other Indemnified Party out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, a portion of the Escrow Amount having a value equal to such Damages, all in accordance with the Escrow
Agreement and Section 8.6 below. 
 
8.6 Objections to Claims to Escrow Fund. At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such Officer’s Certificate shall be delivered to the
Stockholders’ Agent and for a period of thirty (30) days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery of any portion of the Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 8.5 unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written
authorization from the Stockholders’ Agent to make such delivery. After the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of the portion of the Escrow Amount in the Escrow Fund in accordance with
Section 8.5, provided that no such delivery may be made if the Stockholders’ Agent shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow
Agent and to Acquiror prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. 
 
8.7 Resolution of Conflicts. 
 (a) In case the Stockholders’ Agent shall object in writing to
any claim or claims made in any Officer’s Certificate, the Acquiror shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a written statement to the objection. If after such thirty (30) day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the
Stockholders’ Agent and Acquiror shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Stockholders’ Agent and Acquiror should so agree, a
memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, if Acquiror has requested delivery of a portion of the Escrow Amount, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any
such memorandum and shall distribute the portion of the Escrow Amount from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the memorandum. 
 (b) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Acquiror or the Stockholders’ Agent may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of 
  

 51 

Table of Contents

 the matter, unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event
arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by three (3) arbitrators. Within fifteen (15) days
after such written notice is sent, Acquiror (on the one hand) and the Stockholders’ Agent (on the other hand) shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrators
as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Sections 8.1 through 8.5, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance with such decision. 
 (c) Judgment
upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be conducted under the commercial rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. Any arbitration shall be held in
Dallas County, Texas. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association, and the expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the prevailing party to the arbitration (as determined by the arbitrator).

“Stockholders’ Agent”) for and on behalf of the Company Securityholders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize delivery to the Indemnified Parties of the portion of the Escrow Amount from the Escrow Fund
in satisfaction of claims by any Indemnified Party, to object to such deliveries, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to
such claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Such agency may be changed by the holders of a majority in interest of the Company Stock from time
to time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Acquiror. No bond shall be required of the Stockholders’ Agent, and the Stockholders’ Agent shall receive reasonable reimbursement for fees and expenses incurred
in good faith arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, such fees and expenses shall be deducted from the Escrow Fund. Notices or communications to or from the
Stockholders’ Agent shall constitute notice to or from each of the Company Securityholders. If the Stockholders’ Agent shall die, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill his responsibilities as agent of Company Securityholders,
then Company Securityholders shall, within ten (10) days after such death or disability, appoint a successor agent and, promptly thereafter, shall notify Acquiror of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall become the
“Stockholders’ Agent” for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. If for any reason there is no Stockholders’ Agent at any time, all references herein to the Stockholders’ Agent shall be deemed to refer to the
Principal Stockholders holding a majority in interest of the Company Stock held by all of the Principal Stockholders. 
  

 52 

Table of Contents

 (b) The Stockholders’ Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as
Stockholders’ Agent while acting in good faith, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Company Securityholders shall severally and not jointly indemnify the
Stockholders’ Agent and hold him harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of his duties under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. 
 (c) The Stockholders’ Agent shall have reasonable access
to information about Company and Acquiror and the reasonable assistance of Company’s and Acquiror’s officers and employees for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its rights under this Article 9, provided that the
Stockholders’ Agent shall treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information from or about Company or Acquiror to anyone (except on a need to know basis to individuals who agree to treat such information confidentially).

 
8.9 Actions of the Stockholders’ Agent. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Agent shall constitute a decision of all of the Company Securityholders and shall be final, binding
and conclusive upon each such Company Securityholder, and the Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Agent as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each
and every such Company Securityholder. The Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the
Stockholders’ Agent. 
 
8.10 Claims. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third-party claim which such Indemnified Party believes may result in a demand against the Indemnifying Parties, Acquiror shall notify the
Stockholders’ Agent of such claim, and the Stockholders’ Agent and the Indemnifying Parties shall be entitled, at their expense, to participate in any defense of such claim. An Indemnified Party shall have the right in its sole discretion
to settle any such claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party may not effect the settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Stockholders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that
the Stockholders’ Agent has consented to any such settlement, the Stockholders’ Agent shall have no power or authority to object to the amount of any claim by such Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Parties for indemnity with
respect to such settlement, unless such claim is in an amount in excess of any amount consented to by the Stockholders’ Agent.
