Certain Compensation Arrangements

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 CERTAIN COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS 
 WITH HEALTH NET, INC.’S 
 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS 
 AS AMENDED AND RESTATED ON JULY 12, 2005 
  
 Upon recommendation of the Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of Health Net, Inc. (the “Company”), the Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Board”) has approved the following compensation arrangements with each non-employee director of the Board in respect of his/her service on the Board: 
  

	 	•	 	an annual retainer of $45,000 per year for each non-employee director; 

  

	 	•	 	an annual retainer of $10,000 per year for the Chair of each of the Compensation Committee, Governance Committee and Finance Committee; 

  

	 	•	 	an annual retainer of $15,000 for the Chair of the Audit Committee; 

  

	 	•	 	meeting fee of $2,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended, and a $1,000 fee for each committee meeting attended, other than the Audit Committee, which meeting fee is
$2,000 for each audit committee meeting attended; 

  

	 	•	 	in lieu of the above listed retainer and meeting fees, the Chairman of the Board receives $16,667 per month for his services;1 and 

  

	 	•	 	reimbursement of customary expenses for attending Board, committee and shareholder meetings. 

  
 In addition, the non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the Company’s Third Amended and
Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) and the Company’s 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”). Under the Director Plan, 500,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for initial grants of
nonqualified stock options to directors when they join the Company’s Board and automatic annual grants of nonqualified stock options on each year such director is re-elected to the Company’s Board. Each non-employee director grant entitles
the optionee to purchase the granted number of shares of Common Stock (which number is determined pursuant to grant formula provisions in the Director Plan) at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of such
grant. Each grant vests as to 33 1/3% of the shares each year on the anniversary of the date of the grant,
provided that the options become immediately exercisable in the event of a “change in control” of the Company, as defined in the Director Plan and 1998 Plan, as applicable. 
  
 Furthermore, the Company maintains a deferred compensation plan pursuant to
which non-employee directors are eligible to defer up to 100% of their compensation. The compensation deferred under such plan is credited with earnings or losses measured by the rate of return on investments elected by plan participants. Each plan
participant is fully vested in all deferred compensation and earnings credited to his or her account. 

	1	The Chairman of the Board is currently serving as Chairman of the Governance Committee. The Chairman of the Board receives $16,667 per month for his services in lieu
of any retainer or meeting fees. There has been no increase in the compensation paid to the Chairman of the Board for his services to the Company. The Company had previously reported that the Chairman of the Board receives $15,833 per month for his
services. The correct amount, as reported herein, is $16,667 per month.First Amendment to Amended and Restated Rights Agreement

Sheet. Acquiror shall be given timely access to all supporting workpapers and any other documentation used in preparation of the Closing Date Cash Amount Estimate for purposes of verifying the accuracy and fairness of the Closing Date Cash Amount
Estimate. 
  
 (b) Estimated Net Working Capital Balance. On
the third Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Target shall deliver to Acquiror (i) an estimate (the “Closing Date Working Capital Estimate”) of the sum of the current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) minus current
liabilities (excluding Indebtedness and deferred Tax liabilities) of the Target Companies as of the Closing Date (excluding for these purposes the Closing Acquisition Expenses) and (ii) a certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Acquiror, executed by the Chief Executive Officer of Target and the Chief Financial Officer of Target, stating that the Closing Date Working Capital Estimate has been prepared in good faith and in accordance with GAAP (subject to the lack of
footnotes) and on a basis consistent with and utilizing the same principles, practices and policies as those used in preparing the Balance Sheet. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the calculation of the Closing Date Working
Capital Estimate shall not take into account (x) any accrual or expenses in relation to any Option Award Amount or any Option Exercise (except for any expenses in excess of $780,000 for Medicare payroll taxes in connection with the Option Award
Amount or any Option Exercise) or (y) the Tax effect of any such amounts. Acquiror shall be given timely access to all supporting workpapers and any other documentation used in preparation of the Closing Date Working Capital Estimate for purposes of
verifying the accuracy and fairness of the Closing Date Working Capital Estimate. If the Closing Date Working Capital Estimate is greater than the Working Capital Target, then the “Estimated Net Working  
  

 3 

 Capital Surplus” shall be equal to such excess. If the Closing Date Working Capital Estimate is less than the
Working Capital Target, then the “Estimated Net Working Capital Deficiency” shall be equal to such deficiency. The “Working Capital Target” shall mean $11,727,943, which is based on the Balance Sheet and calculated
as set forth in Appendix 3.1(A). 
  
 (c) Closing Date
Payments. The Merger Consideration shall be paid by Acquiror by Wire Transfer as follows: 
  
 (i) to the Paying Agent, on behalf of the holders of Options, Warrants and Target Stock, the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration, which amount
includes the Hold-Back Amount, less the amount of the Escrow Amount; and 
  
 (ii) to the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Preferred Stockholders and the Management Stockholders (collectively, the “Indemnifying Stockholders”), $27,000,000 (the “Escrow Amount”)
(the Escrow Amount, plus any interest paid on such amount, are herein referred to as the “Escrow Fund”) for the purpose of securing (A) the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Stockholders set forth in this agreement,
(B) payment of the Post-Closing Acquisition Expenses, if any, (C) the Net Consideration Adjustment, if any, to the extent it exceeds the Hold-Back Amount, and (D) payments pursuant to Article VIII. The Escrow Amount, which shall be comprised
of amounts of Merger Consideration allocable to the Indemnifying Stockholders as set forth in Appendix 3.3 and Appendix 3.4, shall be held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. The Escrow Fund
shall be held as two separate trust funds. The Escrow Fund comprised of the Merger Consideration set forth in Appendix 3.3 (the “Stockholder Trust Fund”) shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any
judicial process of any creditor of any party and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the applicable terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Fund comprised of the Merger Consideration set forth in Appendix
3.4 (the “Management Escrow”) shall be held in a “rabbi trust,” subject to the claims of Acquiror’s creditors in the event of Acquiror’s insolvency, according to “rabbi trust” terms substantially
similar to those approved by the IRS in Rev. Proc. 92-64, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the applicable terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Management Escrow shall be structured so that the Management
Stockholders are not subject to income tax on the Escrow Amount until distributions are made to the Management Stockholders from the Management Escrow. All interest and other income earned on the Escrow Amount in the Stockholder Trust Fund through
the Final Escrow Release Date will become part of the Stockholder Trust Fund and any portion of such interest and other income remaining in the Stockholder Trust Fund will be allocated to the Indemnifying Stockholders in proportion to the Merger
Consideration set forth in Appendix 3.3 on the Final Escrow Release Date and released to the Stockholder Representative for disbursement to the Indemnifying Stockholders in accordance with Section 10.6. All interest and other income
earned on the Escrow Amount in the Management Escrow through the Final Escrow Release Date will become part of the Management Escrow and any portion of such interest and other income remaining in the Management Escrow will be allocated to the
Management Stockholders in proportion to the Merger Consideration set forth in Appendix 3.4 on the Final Escrow Release Date and released to the Stockholder Representative for disbursement to the Management Stockholders in accordance with
Section 10.6. Acquiror shall have the right to receive a distribution from each of the Management Escrow and the Stockholder Trust Fund on a periodic basis in an amount equal to thirty-seven percent of the interest and other income earned on
the Management Escrow and the Stockholder Trust Fund, respectively. Acquiror is intended to be, and shall be treated as, the owner for Tax purposes of all of the Merger Consideration held in the Escrow Fund and all of the items of income, deductions
and credits attributable to the Merger Consideration and shall be liable for and pay all Taxes with respect to such amounts. In satisfaction of the payment of any Post-Closing Acquisition Expenses by Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation (in excess
of any amounts accrued therefor on the Final Closing Balance Sheet), Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall deliver 
  

 4 

 joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent within two Business Days from the date on which notice of any Post-Closing
Acquisition Expenses is received by Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation, instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to Acquiror by Wire Transfer within two Business Days of receipt of such instructions an amount equal to the Post-Closing Acquisition
Expenses from the Escrow Fund. 
  
 (d) On the third Business Day
prior to the Closing Date the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Acquiror updated appendices, if any, setting forth with respect to each Stockholder (Appendix 3.3), Option holder (Appendix 3.4) and Warrant holder (Appendix
3.5) (i) an amount payable to each Holder at Closing (ii) the portion of the Hold-Back Amount allocable to each Holder at Closing and (iii) in the case of each Indemnifying Stockholder, the amount of Merger Consideration such Stockholder is
required to contribute to the Escrow Amount. Each such appendix shall be in the format of (and on a basis consistent with) the methodology set forth in Appendix 3.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the amount of the Merger Consideration contributed to the Escrow Amount from Options exceed $6,000,000. 
  
 (e) Post-Closing Adjustment. 
  
 (i) As used in this Section 3.1(e): 
  
 (A) “Closing Cash Deficit” shall mean the amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Cash Amount, as ultimately determined by reference
to the Final Closing Balance Sheet, is less than the Closing Date Cash Amount Estimate. 
  
 (B) “Closing Cash Surplus” shall mean the amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Cash Amount, as ultimately determined by reference to the Final Closing Balance Sheet, is greater than the Closing
Date Cash Amount Estimate. 
  
 (C) “Final Net Working
Capital Balance” shall mean the sum of the current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) minus the current liabilities (excluding Indebtedness and deferred Tax liabilities) of the Target Companies as of the Closing Date as reflected
on the Final Closing Balance Sheet. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the calculation of Final Net Working Capital Balance shall not take into account (1) any accrual or expenses in relation to any Option Award Amount or any
Option Exercise (except for any expenses in excess of $780,000 for Medicare payroll taxes in connection with the Option Award Amount or any Option Exercise) or (2) the Tax effect of any such amounts. 
  
 (D) “Net Consideration Adjustment” means the sum of (1) the
Closing Cash Deficit, if any, expressed as a negative number, plus (2) the Closing Cash Surplus, if any, expressed as a positive number, plus (3) the Working Capital Deficit, if any, expressed as a negative number, plus (4) the Working Capital
Surplus, if any, expressed as a positive number. 
  
 (E)
“Working Capital Deficit” shall mean the amount, if any, by which the Final Net Working Capital Balance is less than the Closing Date Working Capital Estimate. 
  
 (F) “Working Capital Surplus” shall mean the amount, if any, by which the Final Net Working Capital
Balance is greater than the Closing Date Working Capital Estimate. 
  
 (ii) As promptly as possible after the Closing Date, but in no event more than sixty days after the Closing Date, Acquiror shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative a closing balance sheet of Target prepared as of the Closing Date in
accordance with GAAP and on a basis 
  

 5 

 consistent with the accounting practices and policies used to prepare the Balance Sheet, which shall include reasonably
detailed documentation of the Closing Date Cash Amount and the Final Net Working Capital Balance (the “Proposed Closing Balance Sheet”). 
  
 (iii) The Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Acquiror within thirty days after receiving the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet a detailed statement
describing all of its objections (if any) thereto, including any objection to the calculation of the Closing Date Cash Amount or the Final Net Working Capital Balance, and sufficient details describing the basis therefor. Failure of the Stockholder
Representative to so object within such thirty day period to the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet shall constitute acceptance thereof, whereupon such Proposed Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed to be the “Final Closing Balance
Sheet.” All items on the Final Closing Balance Sheet shall be determined and computed in accordance with GAAP and on a basis consistent with and utilizing the same principles, practices and policies as those used in preparing the Balance
Sheet. Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve any such objections, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty days after Acquiror has received the statement of objections,
Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall select an internationally-recognized independent accounting firm, other than their or Target’s respective regular independent accounting firms, mutually acceptable to them (the “Neutral
Auditors”) to resolve any remaining objections. If Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative are unable to agree on the choice of Neutral Auditors, they shall select as Neutral Auditors an internationally-recognized accounting firm by lot
(after excluding their and Target’s respective regular independent accounting firms). The Neutral Auditors shall determine, within sixty days after their appointment, whether the objections raised by the Stockholder Representative are valid.
The Proposed Closing Balance Sheet and documentation of the Closing Date Cash Amount and the Final Net Working Capital Balance contained therein that is the subject of such objections by the Stockholder Representative shall be adjusted in accordance
with the Neutral Auditors’ determination and, as so adjusted, shall become the Final Closing Balance Sheet and documentation of the Closing Date Cash Amount and the Final Net Working Capital Balance. Such determination by the Neutral Auditors
shall be conclusive and binding upon Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative. Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall share equally the fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditors. 
  
 (f) If the Net Consideration Adjustment is less than zero, then the Merger
Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Net Consideration Adjustment (expressed as a positive number), which amount (the “Downward Adjustment”) shall be paid as follows: 
  
 (i) as soon as practicable after the date on which the Net Consideration
Adjustment is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.1, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Acquiror a schedule (the “Post-Closing Downward Adjustment Schedule”) setting forth next to each Holder’s
name an amount equal to that portion of the Downward Adjustment such Holder is required to forfeit to Acquiror in accordance with this Article III and on a basis consistent with the principles set forth in Appendix 3.1; 
  
 (ii) in the event that the Downward Adjustment is less than the Hold-Back
Amount, as soon as practicable after the date on which the Net Consideration Adjustment is determined, the Stockholder Representative and Acquiror shall deliver joint written instructions to the Paying Agent to pay, within five Business Days after
the date on which the Paying Agent receives such instructions, (A) to Acquiror, by Wire Transfer, an amount equal to the Downward Adjustment, and (B)(1) to each Stockholder, in accordance with the instructions provided in such Stockholder’s
Letter of Transmittal, an amount as provided in Section 3.3(a)(iii), (2) to each Warrant holder, in accordance with the instructions provided in such Warrant holder’s Letter of Transmittal, an amount as provided in Section
3.5(b)(ii), and (3) to the Surviving Corporation, by Wire Transfer, an amount as provided in Section 3.4(c)(iii)(A), which amount shall promptly be paid to the Option holders as provided in Section 3.4(c)(iii)(B); and 

 

 6 

 (iii) in the event that the Downward Adjustment is greater than or equal to the Hold-Back Amount, as
soon as practicable after the date on which the Net Consideration Adjustment is determined, the Stockholder Representative and Acquiror shall deliver joint written instructions to (A) the Paying Agent to pay to Acquiror, by Wire Transfer, within
five Business Days after the date on which the Paying Agent receives such instructions, an amount equal to the Hold-Back Amount and (B) the Escrow Agent to release an amount of the Escrow Funds, by Wire Transfer, within five Business Days after the
date on which the Escrow Agent receives such instructions, equal to the difference between the Downward Adjustment and the Hold-Back Amount. 
  
 (g) If the Net Consideration Adjustment is greater than zero, then the Merger Consideration shall be increased by an amount (the “Upward
Adjustment”) equal to such excess, which amount shall be paid as follows: 
  
 (i) as soon as practicable after the date on which the Net Consideration Adjustment is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.1, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Acquiror a schedule (the
“Post-Closing Upward Adjustment Payment Schedule”) setting forth next to each Holder’s name (A) an amount equal to that portion of the Upward Adjustment such Holder is entitled to receive in accordance with this
Article III and on a basis consistent with the principles set forth in Appendix 3.1 attached hereto, and (B) an amount equal to that portion of the Hold-Back Amount attributable to such Holder as set forth in Appendix 3.3,
Appendix 3.4 and Appendix 3.5; and 
  
 (ii)
Acquiror shall deliver to the Paying Agent, by Wire Transfer, within five Business Days after receiving the Post-Closing Upward Adjustment Payment Schedule, an amount equal to the Upward Adjustment, and Acquiror and Stockholder Representative shall
deliver joint written instructions to the Paying Agent to pay, within five Business Days after the date on which the Paying Agent receives such instructions, (A) to each Stockholder, in accordance with the instructions provided in such
Stockholder’s Letter of Transmittal, the amounts set forth next to such Stockholder’s name on the Post-Closing Upward Adjustment Payment Schedule, (B) to each Warrant holder, in accordance with the instructions provided in such Warrant
holder’s Letter of Transmittal, the amounts set forth next to such Warrant holder’s name on the Post-Closing Upward Adjustment Payment Schedule, and (C) to the Surviving Corporation, by Wire Transfer in immediately available funds, an
amount equal to the total of the amounts set forth next to the Option holders’ names on the Post-Closing Upward Adjustment Payment Schedule, which amount shall promptly be paid by the Surviving Corporation to the Option holders in accordance
with the amounts set forth next to each Option holder’s name on such schedule. 
  
 (h) If the Net Consideration Adjustment is equal to zero, then as soon as practicable after the date on which the Net Consideration Adjustment is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.1, Acquiror and
the Stockholder Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Paying Agent to pay, within five Business Days after the date on which the Paying Agent receives such instructions, (i) to each holder of Target Stock or Warrants, an
amount equal to that portion of the Hold-Back Amount attributable to such holder as set forth in Appendix 3.3 and Appendix 3.5, respectively, and (ii) to the Surviving Corporation, by Wire Transfer, an amount equal to the total of the
Hold-Back Amount attributable to the options as set forth in Appendix 3.4, which amount shall promptly be paid by the Surviving Corporation to the Option holders in accordance with Appendix 3.4. 
  
 (i) The Paying Agent shall hold the Hold-Back Amount in an interest bearing
account (the “Hold-Back Account”) and any interest earned, but not previously distributed, shall be distributed, pro-rata, with the Hold-Back Amount pursuant to the terms of this Article III. The Paying Agent shall only
disburse the Hold-Back Amount following its receipt of joint instructions as set forth in this Article III. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Acquiror shall have the right to receive a distribution from the Hold-Back
Account on a periodic basis in an amount equal to thirty- 
  

 7 

 seven percent of the interest earned on the Hold-Back Amount. Acquiror is intended to be, and shall be treated as, the
owner for Tax purposes of the Hold-Back Amount and all of the items of income, deductions and credits attributable to the Hold-Back Amount and shall be liable for and pay all Taxes with respect to such amounts. 
  
 Section 3.2 Capital Stock of Target Outstanding Immediately Prior
to Effective Time. 
  
 (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, Target, Acquiror or the holders of any securities of Target, each share of Target Stock, other than any Dissenting Shares
and shares of capital stock of Target that are owned by Target as treasury stock (which shares of treasury stock will be cancelled and will cease to exist and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor), will be cancelled and
extinguished and will be converted automatically into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.3, a portion of the Merger Consideration, calculated pursuant to the terms of the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Target effective immediately prior to the Effective Time and in accordance with Appendix 3.1 and Appendix 3.3. 
  
 (b) At and after the Effective Time, each holder of Target Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a
“Stockholder,” and collectively, the “Stockholders”) shall cease to have any rights in respect of such shares and such Stockholder’s rights shall be solely to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration for
which such shares of Target Stock may be exchanged pursuant to Section 3.2(a) above; provided that the rights of Dissenting Stockholders shall be as set forth in Section 3.6. The amounts paid by the Paying Agent on behalf of
Acquiror in exchange for the surrendered certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Target Stock (the “Certificates”) shall be deemed to be full payment and satisfaction of all
rights pertaining to such shares of Target Stock. At the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Target Stock that were outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in accordance with Section 3.3. 
  
 Section 3.3 Surrender of Certificates; Payments to
Stockholders. 
  
 (a) At or after the Closing, each
Stockholder who has not previously executed and delivered to Acquiror a Stockholder Consideration Consent shall deliver to the Paying Agent a Stockholder Consideration Consent, duly executed by such Stockholder and surrender for cancellation the
Certificates that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented his, her or its shares of Target Stock together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal, in form and substance customary for transactions of the type
contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror (a “Letter of Transmittal”). Upon surrender by a Stockholder of such stock Certificates (or Affidavit of Loss) and delivery of such Stockholder
Consideration Consent, the Letter of Transmittal and such other documentation as may reasonably be required by Acquiror or the Paying Agent (collectively, the “Stockholder Materials”), such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive
in exchange therefor cash in an amount equal to that portion of the Merger Consideration for which such shares of Target Stock may be exchanged, which shall be payable as follows: 
  
 (i) as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Paying Agent of the Stockholder Materials, the Paying
Agent shall pay to such Stockholder, in accordance with the instructions provided by such Stockholder in his, her or its Letter of Transmittal, the amount set forth next to such Stockholder’s name on Appendix 3.3 under the heading
“Closing Stock Payment;” 
  

 8 

 (ii) with respect to each Indemnifying Stockholder, such Stockholder hereby acknowledges that the amount
set forth next to his, her or its name on Appendix 3.3 (as the same may be updated pursuant to Section 3.1(d)) under the heading “Stockholder Escrow Obligation” (the “Stockholder Escrow Obligation”) shall be
delivered by Acquiror to the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders, to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, in lieu of paying such amount to him, her or it in respect of the Merger Consideration
payable to him, her or it, and that the payments set forth in clause (i) of this Section 3.3(a) together with the delivery of his, her or its Stockholder Escrow Obligation to the Escrow Agent, shall be full consideration for the Target Stock
surrendered by such Stockholder; 
  
 (iii) in the event of a
Downward Adjustment that is less than the Hold-Back Amount, Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to the Paying Agent the joint written instructions called for in Section 3.1(f)(ii) to pay to each Stockholder, in
accordance with the instructions provided by such Stockholder in his, her or its Letter of Transmittal, within five Business Days after the date on which the Paying Agent receives such instructions, the amount set forth next to such
Stockholder’s name in such instructions, which amount shall be equal to (A) the amount set forth next to such Stockholder’s name on Appendix 3.3 under the heading “Stockholder Hold-Back Amount” minus (B) the amount
set forth next to such Stockholder’s name on the Post-Closing Downward Adjustment Schedule; 
  
 (iv) in the event of an Upward Adjustment, the Paying Agent shall make a payment to such Stockholder as set forth in Section 3.1(g)(ii); and

  
 (v) in the event that the Net Consideration Adjustment is
equal to zero, the Paying Agent shall make a payment to such Stockholder as set forth in Section 3.1(h). 
  
 (b) All Certificates surrendered pursuant to Section 3.3(a) shall be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each Certificate representing shares of
Target Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed for all corporate purposes on and after the Effective Date to evidence only the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration (without interest) for which
such shares of Target Stock have been so converted. No payment of any portion of the Merger Consideration will be made to any Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.3(a) until such Stockholder delivers his, her or its Stockholder Materials to the
Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.3(a). In the event any Certificates evidencing shares of Target Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Stockholder thereof shall (i) make and execute an affidavit of that fact and
indemnification agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror (“Affidavit of Loss”), indemnifying Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent against any claim that may be made against Acquiror,
the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and (ii) deliver such Affidavit of Loss to the Paying Agent in lieu of surrendering such lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificates. 
  
 (c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration
is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered (a “Transferee”), in addition to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, it will be a condition to such
payment that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Transferee requesting such payment will have paid to Acquiror or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes
required as a result of such payment to a Transferee, or established to the satisfaction of Acquiror or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.3, neither the Paying Agent, the Surviving
Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to any holder of shares of 
  

 9 

 Target securities for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property,
escheat or similar law. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which shares of Target Stock in respect of such Certificate would otherwise
escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority), any such shares in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of Acquiror or its successors or assigns, free and clear of all
claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

follows: 
  
 (i) as soon as practicable following the Effective
Time, (A) the Paying Agent shall deliver to the Surviving Corporation, by Wire Transfer, an amount equal to the total of all amounts set forth next to the Option holders’ names on Appendix 3.4 under the heading “Closing Option
Payments,” and (B) the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each such Option holder, within five Business Days after the date on which the Paying Agent delivers the amount pursuant to clause (A) above, the amount set forth next to such Option

Acquiror to the Escrow Agent on behalf of each Management Stockholder, to be held by the Escrow Agent in the Management Escrow in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, in lieu of paying such amount to him or her in respect of the Merger
Consideration payable to him or her, and that the payments set forth in clause (i) of this Section 3.4(c), together with the delivery of his or her Management Stockholder Escrow Obligation, shall be full consideration for the cancelled
Options of such Management Stockholder. In accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, upon release of the Escrow Fund (A) the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Surviving Corporation (or its successor), by Wire Transfer, the portion of the
Escrow Fund that is allocable to the aggregate amount of all Management Stockholder Escrow 
  

 10 

 Obligations that remain as a part of the Escrow Fund and (B) the Surviving Corporation (or its successor) shall pay to
each Management Stockholder, within five Business Days after the date on which the Escrow Agent delivers the amount pursuant to clause (A) above, the portion of the applicable Management Stockholder Escrow Obligation received from the Escrow Agent;

  
 (iii) in the event that the Downward Adjustment is less than
the Hold-Back Amount, (A) Acquiror and Stockholder Representative shall deliver to the Paying Agent the joint written instructions called for in Section 3.1(f)(ii) to deliver to the Surviving Corporation, by Wire Transfer, an amount equal to
the total of all amounts set forth next to the Option holders’ names on Appendix 3.4 under the heading “Option Hold-Back Amount” minus the total of all amounts set forth next to the Option holders’ names on the
Post-Closing Downward Adjustment Schedule; and (B) the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each Option holder, within five Business Days after the date on which the Paying Agent delivers the amount pursuant to clause (A) above, an amount equal to
(1)(x) the amount set forth next to such Option holder’s name on Appendix 3.4 under the heading “Option Hold-Back Amount” minus (y) the amount set forth next to such Option holder’s name on the Post-Closing Downward

equal to zero, the Surviving Corporation shall make a payment to such Option holder as set forth in Section 3.1(h). 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.4, (i) all Options will be deemed cancelled at the Effective Time and (ii)
payment to an Option holder may be withheld in respect of a cancelled Option until an Option Cancellation Acknowledgment is received from such Option holder. The parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith the payment date of the Hold-Back
Amount as necessary to cause the Hold-Back Amount to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and applicable IRS guidance. 
  
 Section 3.5 Surrender and Cancellation of Warrants; Payments to Warrant Holders.

 (b) Upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant(s) and delivery of such Letter of Transmittal and Warrant Cancellation Acknowledgment, such Warrant holder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor cash in an amount equal to that
portion of the Merger Consideration for which such Warrant(s) may be exchanged, which shall be payable as follows:

Transmittal, within five Business Days after the date on which the Paying Agent receives such instructions, the amount set forth next to such Warrant holder’s name in such instructions, which amount shall be equal to (A) the amount set forth

or similar law. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, to the extent any Holder properly perfects its appraisal rights, the pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration that would otherwise be payable to such Holder for such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 3.3(a)(i)

Holder such amounts as it is required pursuant to Applicable Law to deduct and withhold with respect to Taxes; provided that the Surviving Corporation, Acquiror or Merger Sub, as the case may be, promptly pays when due such amount deducted
and withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority for the account of such Holder. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder
in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

 ARTICLE IV — REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 OF TARGET 
  
 Except as otherwise disclosed to Acquiror in a schedule delivered to Acquiror by Target and the Indemnifying Stockholders prior to the execution of this
Agreement (with specific reference to the representations and warranties to which the information in such schedule relates) (the “Disclosure Schedule”), Target hereby represents and warrants as of the date of this Agreement and as
of the Closing to both Acquiror and Merger Sub as follows: 
  
 Section 4.1 Corporate Power. Target has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby to be performed by it. This Agreement has been
duly authorized, executed, and delivered by Target and is the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Target enforceable against Target in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent
conveyance, moratorium, or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general, and except that the enforceability of this Agreement is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
  
 Section
4.2 No Violations. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.2, neither the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement by Target nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to be performed by it, nor the
compliance by Target with any of the terms or provisions hereof will contravene or violate (a) any Applicable Law or Permit to which any Target Company is subject, (b) any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree of any court, arbitrator, or
Governmental Authority or agency that is applicable to any Target Company, or (c) the charter or organizational documents of any Target Company; nor will such execution, delivery, or performance (i) violate, be in conflict with, or result in the
breach of, any Material Contract or give any party with rights thereunder the right to terminate, cancel, or accelerate the rights or obligations of any Target Company thereunder, (ii) cause any acceleration of the maturity of any material note,
instrument or other obligation to which any Target Company is a party or by which any Target Company is bound or with respect to which any Target Company is an obligor or guarantor or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance
(other than any Permitted Encumbrance) of any kind whatsoever upon or give to any other Person any interest or right (including any right of termination or cancellation) in or with respect to any of the properties, assets, business, agreements or
contracts of any Target Company, except in the case of clause (iii) above as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 Section 4.3 Consents and Approvals. Except (a) as may be required pursuant to applicable Antitrust Laws, (b)
the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or (c) as set forth in Schedule 4.3, no authorization, approval, or consent of, and no registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority is
required to be made or obtained by any Target Company in connection with the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by Target. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.3, no consent of, payment to or notice to any party to any
contract to which either Target Company is a party or under which the Target Companies or any of their assets are bound or affected is required in connection with the valid execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents or the consummation of any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. 
  
 Section 4.4 Corporate Existence. Each Target Company is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Target Company has all
requisite corporate power and authority and possesses all Permits necessary to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted, other than 
  

 14 

 such Permits, the lack of which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Each Target Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions which recognize such concept) as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties
owned or leased by it or the nature of the business transacted by it requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

  
 Section 4.5 Capitalization. Schedule 4.5
sets forth each Target Company, its jurisdiction of formation, its authorized capital stock or other equity interests, the amount as of the date of this Agreement of its outstanding capital stock or other equity interests and the record owner(s) of
its outstanding capital stock or other equity interests. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.5, there are no shares of capital stock of or equity interests in any Target Company. The Indemnifying Stockholders beneficially own directly or
indirectly 100% of the issued and outstanding Series C and Series D Preferred Stock of Target and approximately 97% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of Target, assuming conversion of all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a
conversion rate of six shares of Common Stock for each share of Series D Preferred Stock, but not assuming any exercise of outstanding Options. Without taking into account the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each share of Series D
Preferred Stock of Target is convertible into six shares of Common Stock of Target. Schedule 4.5 sets forth the number of shares of Target Stock (a) reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options or warrants, (b) reserved for future
issuance and (c) issued and held in treasury. None of the Target Stock is held by Subsidiary. All of the Target Stock and all of the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of Subsidiary have, to the extent applicable, been duly
authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and are owned of record (and, with respect to Subsidiary, beneficially) by the record owners set forth in Schedule 4.5, and, with respect to the shares of capital stock of
Subsidiary, are owned free and clear of any liens, pledges, charges, encumbrances, restrictions on transfer, claims, or options, other than Permitted Encumbrances. Schedule 4.5 sets forth for each Target Company all outstanding subscriptions,
options, warrants, or other rights, calls or commitments to issue, or any obligations or commitments to purchase, any authorized capital stock or other equity interest or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any of the authorized
capital stock or other equity interest of each Target Company, including the names of holders of such rights and the exercise prices thereto. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.5, (i) there are no outstanding or authorized stock appreciation,
phantom stock, profit participation or other equity based compensation or similar rights (other than stock options) with respect to any Target Company, and (ii) there are no voting trusts, proxies, or other agreements or understandings with respect
to the voting of the capital stock of the Target Companies. There are no declared or accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to the Target Stock.

directly or indirectly, any equity or ownership interest.

cash flows for the three-month period then ended (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). Except as set forth in Schedule 4.7(a), the Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent
basis (subject to normal year-end adjustments and, in the case of any unaudited Financial Statements, the lack of footnotes) and on that basis present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of
operations as of the date thereof and for the period indicated of the Target Companies. 
  

 15 

 (b) The Financial Statements were prepared from the books and records of the Target Companies, which have
been maintained in accordance with sound business practices and all applicable legal requirements and reflect all financial transactions of the Target Companies which are required to be reflected in accordance with GAAP. The Target Companies
maintain accurate books and records reflecting their assets and liabilities and maintain a system of proper and adequate internal accounting controls sufficient to provide assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Target Companies in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for the
consolidated assets of the Target Companies, (iii) access to the assets of the Target Companies is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (iv) the reporting of the assets of the Target Companies is

such tangible assets are operating in the ordinary course of business subject to normal maintenance and repair. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.8, the Target Companies have good and valid title to all of their assets and properties, real,
personal, and mixed, in each case free and clear of liens, pledges, security interests, and other encumbrances of every kind, except for (a) liens for Taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) liens for Taxes, assessments, and other
charges, if any, the validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate action and for which adequate reserves have been provided on the Balance Sheet, (c) liens of employees and laborers for current wages not yet due, and (d)
restrictions not materially affecting the present use of such assets or properties (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). 
  
 Section 4.9 Accounts Receivable. All trade accounts receivable reflected, and notes receivable included in, the Financial Statements (the
“Accounts Receivable”) represent bona fide sales actually made or services actually delivered in the Ordinary Course of Business and, in the case of Accounts Receivable, have been billed or invoiced in the Ordinary Course of
Business. Except to the extent expressly reserved against or reflected on the Financial Statements, the Target Companies know of no reason why such Accounts Receivable would not be collectible in the Ordinary Course of Business.

Target Companies and neither Target Company has received written notice of any such defaults and (ii) to the Knowledge of Target, there exist no defaults by any third party thereunder. Each Real Property Lease is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of either Target Company, and, to the Knowledge of Target, each other party thereto, enforceable against each such other party thereto in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to 
  

 16 

 general principles of equity. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.10(b), the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any default, penalty, right to terminate, increase in the amounts payable under or modification to any Real Property Lease. 
  
 (c) None of the Leased Real Property is subject to any right or option granted by the Target Companies in favor of any
Person (other than the Target Companies) to purchase or otherwise obtain title to such property, (i) to the Knowledge of Target, there is no pending or threatened, condemnation (or similar proceedings) of any part of the Leased Real Property, (ii)

 Section 7.1 Confidentiality and Announcements. 
  
 (a) Except as provided below in this Section 7.1, none of the parties
hereto, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall publicly disclose the execution, delivery or contents of this Agreement other than (i) with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, or (ii) as required by any Applicable Law, the
applicable rules of any stock exchange, or any Governmental Authority upon prior notice to the other parties hereto. Acquiror and Target shall agree with each other as to the form, timing and substance of any press release or public disclosure
related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that (x) such agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (y) nothing contained herein shall prohibit Acquiror or Target, following notification and
consultation with the other party, from making any such disclosure if required by any Applicable Law, the applicable rules of any stock exchange or any Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
7.1, after receipt of prior written consent of Acquiror (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Target shall be permitted to disclose the existence of this Agreement (but not the terms or provisions) to (A) those of its customers,
suppliers and sales representatives with whom Target has entered into a non-disclosure agreement and (B) those third parties whose consent is required as set forth in Schedule 9.1(e). 
  
 (b) The parties hereto acknowledge that from and after the date hereof, each
of Acquiror and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and Target, the Indemnifying Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, shall keep confidential all information (whether in oral or written form, electronically stored or
otherwise) received by the other party that is related in any way to the proposed Merger, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the other transactions 
  

 31 

 contemplated hereby (collectively, “Confidential Information”); provided that any Confidential
Information that (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the party receiving the Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement, (ii) was or becomes available to a party on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the party disclosing the Confidential Information or its members, managers, directors, officers, employees, partners, agents or advisors (collectively, “Representatives”);
provided, further, that such source was not bound by any agreement or obligation to keep such information confidential or (iii) was independently developed by the party receiving the Confidential Information or its Representatives
without reference to the Confidential Information, shall not be subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 7.1(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a party may disclose the Confidential Information to its
Representatives who need to know such Confidential Information to evaluate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, are informed of its confidential nature, and agree to abide by this Section 7.1(b). In
the event that a party or any of its Representatives is required by Applicable Law, regulation, supervisory authority or other applicable judicial or governmental order to disclose any of the Confidential Information, Acquiror and Merger Sub, on the
one hand, and Target, the Indemnifying Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, shall provide the other party with prompt written notice, unless notice is prohibited by law, of any such request or requirement so that the
other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If, failing the entry of a protective order (which the party required to disclose will use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain), the party required to disclose the
Confidential Information is, in the opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose such Confidential Information, such party may disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that counsel advises that such party is compelled to disclose and
will exercise reasonable commercial efforts to obtain assurance to the extent possible that confidential treatment will be accorded to that portion of the Confidential Information that is being disclosed. In any event, the party required to disclose
the Confidential Information will use its reasonable commercial efforts to, and will not oppose action by the other party to, obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the
Confidential Information. The parties’ obligations under this Section 7.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 (e) Acquiror and Target shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Authority whose consent or approval is

 33 

 
Report Form or communications regarding the same. Acquiror shall bear the filing fee associated with any HSR Act filings made pursuant to this Section
7.3(f).

reasonable commercial efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act, the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as
amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other federal, state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations, orders or decrees that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization
or restraint of trade (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”). In connection therewith, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this
Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Law, each of Target and Acquiror shall cooperate and use its reasonable commercial efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree,
judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent (each an “Order”), that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the Merger or any such other transactions, unless
Target and Acquiror shall agree in writing that litigation is not in their respective best interests. Each of Target and Acquiror shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to take such actions as may be required to cause the expiration of the
notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to such transactions as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement. Target and Acquiror shall take any and all of the following actions to the extent necessary to

Affiliates or the Target Companies, or the holding separate of shares of capital stock of the Target Companies or imposing or seeking to impose any limitation on the ability of Acquiror or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to own, retain, use or
operate any of its products, services, properties or assets (including equity, properties or assets of the Target Companies) or any limitation on the ability of the Target Companies to own, retain, use or operate any of their products, services,
properties or assets or seeking a disposition or divestiture of any such properties or assets.

nothing herein shall require Acquiror or its Affiliates to grant credit to the 
  

 37 

 extent that such credit would result in an accrual of benefits for periods prior to the Closing Date or in a duplication
of benefits. After the Closing, Acquiror agrees, for the purposes of providing group medical, health and hospitalization benefits, to give or cause to be given credit toward the current calendar year limits in Acquiror’s plans for deductible

employee benefits (excluding equity compensation) that are, in the aggregate, comparable to the Assumed Employee and his or her covered dependents, where applicable, as those in effect with Target or Subsidiary immediately prior to the Closing Date.
Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation will cause all (i) pre-existing conditions and proof of insurability provisions for all conditions that all Assumed Employees and their covered dependents have as of the Closing Date and (ii) waiting periods

vacation and other paid leave benefit programs, for such employee’s accrued and unpaid vacation and paid leave balance as of the Closing Date as set forth in Schedule 7.9(c). 
  
 (d) Nothing expressed or implied herein shall confer upon any past or present employee of Target or its subsidiaries, or his
or her representatives, beneficiaries, successors and assigns, nor upon any collective bargaining agent, any rights or remedies of any nature, including, any rights to employment or continued employment with Acquiror, Target or any of their
successors or Affiliates; nor shall Acquiror, Target or their Affiliates be precluded or prevented from terminating or amending any Benefit Plan.

 Section 7.11 Indemnification of Directors and Officers. From and after the Effective Time and for a period of
six years following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation (or any successor) will, and Acquiror will cause the Surviving Corporation (or any successor) to, fulfill and honor in all respects, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the
indemnification obligations of the Target Companies for any Action arising out of or pertaining to any acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time that may be instituted by any Person (“Covered Claims”) owed to
each Person who is or was a director or officer of Target or Subsidiary, as applicable, at or prior to the Effective Time (the “Directors and Officers”) pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the charter and bylaws of the
Target Companies in effect on the date hereof; provided that, in the event any claim or claims are asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue to
disposition of any and all such claims. In furtherance of the foregoing, Acquiror shall 
  

 38 

 obtain and, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the sixth anniversary thereof, maintain and not
take any steps to prospectively or retrospectively cancel, buy out or remove any of the Directors and Officers as additional named insureds from, a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy providing coverage to the Directors and
Officers at the same levels as currently maintained by the Target Companies. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and Subsidiary (following the Effective Time) will contain provisions with respect to exculpation
and indemnification for Covered Claims that are at least as favorable to the indemnified parties thereunder as those contained in the charter and bylaws of the Target Companies as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions shall not be repealed,
amended or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Date in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of individuals who, at any time prior to the Effective Time, were indemnified parties thereunder, except as required
by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Acquiror shall not be required to pay more than $75,000 in the aggregate to obtain such insurance coverage. It is agreed and understood that in the event such coverage
cannot be obtained for $75,000 or less in the aggregate, Acquiror shall be obligated to provide such coverage as may be obtained for such $75,000 aggregate amount. This Section 7.11 is for the benefit of the Directors and Officers and is
binding on Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation and their respective successors and assigns and will be enforceable by the Directors and Officers as third party beneficiaries hereof. 
  
 Section 7.12 No Solicitation. 
  
 (a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement
in accordance with its terms, Target shall not, nor shall Target authorize or permit any of its respective officers, directors or employees to, and shall cause any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant, or other representatives
of Target retained by Target not to: (i) solicit, initiate, encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or take any other action to knowingly facilitate or induce (directly or indirectly) any inquiry with respect to, or the making,
submission or announcement of, any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a proposal or offer for an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any
nonpublic information with respect to, or take any other action to knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal (including any proposal or offer to Target’s stockholders) that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to
lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or recommend against the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or (iv) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract
contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Proposal or transaction contemplated thereby. 
  
 (b) Within two Business Days after receipt by Target (or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives) of an
Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry that Target reasonably believes could lead to an Acquisition Proposal, Target shall provide Acquiror with oral and written notice of the material terms and conditions of such
Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and a copy of all written materials provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry. Upon
receipt of the Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, Target shall provide Acquiror, as promptly as practicable, with oral and written notice setting forth all such information as is reasonably necessary to keep Acquiror informed in all material
respects of the status and details (including material amendments or proposed material amendments) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and shall promptly provide to Acquiror a copy of all written materials subsequently provided in
connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry. 
  

 39 

 (c) Target shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, investment
bankers, consultants, attorneys, accountants, agents and other representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all discussions and negotiations, if any, that have taken place prior to the date hereof with any Persons (other than
Acquiror and Merger Sub) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and, upon request by Acquiror, shall request the return or destruction of all confidential information provided to any such Person (other than Acquiror and Merger Sub). 
  
 (d) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event
that the provisions of this Section 7.12 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed by the parties hereto that Acquiror shall be entitled to an immediate injunction or
injunctions, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 7.12 and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Acquiror may be entitled at law or in equity. 
  
 (e) “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any of the following

Applicable Law. 
  
 (b) Acquiror shall prepare or cause to be

details describing the basis therefor. Failure of the Stockholder Representative to so object to such Tax Return shall constitute acceptance thereof. Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve any
such objections, but if they do not reach a final resolution within five days after Acquiror has received the statement of objections, Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall select Neutral Auditors to resolve any remaining objections. The
Neutral Auditors shall determine, within ten days after their appointment, whether the objections raised by the Stockholder Representative are valid. Determination of the Neutral Auditors shall be conclusive and binding upon Acquiror and the
Stockholder Representative. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Acquiror shall be entitled to file such Tax Return no later than on the due date of such Tax Return. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 10.3 to
the contrary, Acquiror shall be entitled to make prompt claim against, and 
  

 41 

 shall be entitled to prompt payment from, the Escrow Fund for an amount equal to the Taxes that would be due with respect

accrual or payment of all or any portion of the Option Award Amount or (y) any Option Exercise, but only to the extent (i) such Taxes (excluding any deferred Taxes) are not reflected in the calculation of the Final Net Working Capital Balance (ii)
with respect to Medicare payroll taxes arising in connection with the Option Award Amount or any Option Exercise, such Taxes are in excess of $780,000 and (iii) such Taxes have not been otherwise received or recovered pursuant to Article X.

The Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Acquiror within ten days after receiving such Tax Return a detailed statement describing all of its objections (if any) thereto and sufficient details describing the basis therefor. Failure of the
Stockholder Representative to so object to such Tax Return shall constitute acceptance thereof. Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve any such objections, but if they do not reach a final
resolution within five days after Acquiror has received the statement of objections, Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall select Neutral Auditors to resolve any remaining objections. The Neutral Auditors shall determine, within ten days
after their appointment, whether the objections raised by the Stockholder Representative are valid. Determination of the Neutral Auditors shall be conclusive and binding upon Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, Acquiror shall be entitled to file such Tax Return no later than on the due date of such Tax Return. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 10.3 to the contrary, Acquiror shall be entitled to make
prompt claim against, and shall be entitled to prompt payment from, the Escrow Fund for an amount equal to the Taxes payable with the filing of any such Tax Return (giving effect to resolution of any objections by the Stockholder Representative in
accordance herewith) that are attributable to the portion of the Tax period ending on the Closing Date as determined in accordance with Section 8.1(d), but only to the extent (i) such Taxes (excluding any deferred Taxes) are not reflected in
the calculation of the Final Net Working Capital Balance (ii) with respect to Medicare payroll taxes arising in connection with the Option Award Amount or any Option Exercise, such Taxes are in excess of $780,000 and (iii) such Taxes have not been
otherwise received or recovered pursuant to Article X. 
  
 (d) With respect to any Straddle Period, for the purpose of determining each party’s liability in respect of Taxes hereunder, (i) any income, franchise, gains, receipts and similar Taxes shall be allocated between the period that ends
on the Closing Date and the period that begins on the following day by treating the Closing Date as the last day of such Tax period (i.e., the parties hereto shall “close the books” on such date, and shall elect to do so if
permitted by Applicable Law); provided that such Taxes allocable to the portion of the Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined without taking into account any deduction, or reduction in Taxes, attributable to (A) the accrual
or payment of all or any portion of the Option Award Amount or (B) any Option Exercise and (ii) other Taxes, imposed on a periodic basis, shall be apportioned between the period that ends on the Closing Date and the period that begins on the
following day on a per diem basis; provided that such Taxes apportionable to the portion of the Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined without taking into account any deduction, or reduction in Taxes, attributable to (x)
the accrual or payment of all or any portion of the Option Award Amount or (y) any Option Exercise. 
  

 42 

 (e) All contracts, agreements or arrangements under which the Target Companies may at any time have an
obligation to indemnify for or share the payment of or liability for any portion of a Tax (or any amount calculated with reference to any portion of a Tax) shall be terminated with respect to the Target Companies as of the Closing Date and the
Target Companies shall thereafter be released from any liability thereunder.

this Agreement shall be paid by Acquiror when due. Acquiror will, at its expense, file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all such transfer, documentary, real property transfer, stock transfer, recording, stamp, registration and other similar
Taxes, and if required by Applicable Law, the Indemnifying Stockholders will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns. 
  
 (h) Neither Acquiror nor the Target Companies shall file or cause to be filed an amended Tax Return for any Target Company with respect to any Tax period
beginning before the Closing Date without the written consent of the Stockholder Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that Acquiror and the Target Companies may file any such amended Tax
Returns without the consent of the Stockholder Representative to the extent, but only to the extent, such amended Tax Returns are being filed in order to claim any carryback of a loss or other Tax item relating to the payment or accrual of any
portion of the Option Award Amount or any Option Exercise (i.e., such amended Tax Returns shall not reflect any changes to the Tax Returns they amend other than claiming the carryback and reflecting any correlative adjustments arising from
the carryback). 
  
 (i) Any refund of Taxes (including any
interest paid or credited with respect thereto, a “Tax Refund”) with respect to any Target Company for any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date resulting from (i) any deduction, or reduction in Taxes,
attributable to (A) the accrual or payment of all or any portion of the Option Award Amount or (B) any Option Exercise or (ii) any carryback of any loss or other Tax item from a Tax period (or any portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date,

the terms hereof, then the Person receiving the Tax Refund shall promptly pay over such Tax Refund to the Person entitled to the Tax Refund after deducting therefrom any Taxes incurred by the paying Person with respect to the receipt or accrual of
such Tax Refund. 
  
 (j) Neither Acquiror nor any of it Affiliates

 (a) No party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (an

exceeds $2,500,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), whereupon the Indemnified Party may claim indemnification for the total amount of such claims; provided that no party hereto may recover in the aggregate an amount greater than

portion of the Option Award Amount or (B) any Option Exercise. 
  
 (c) The Indemnified Party shall promptly, upon delivering a claim for Losses hereunder, provide the Indemnifying Party all information and documentation necessary to support and verify the claim asserted. 
  
 (d) If any Actions are instituted or any claim or demand is asserted by any
third party in respect of which a party may seek indemnification from an Indemnifying Party hereunder pursuant to the provisions of this Article X, the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any such third
party claim or demand to be made to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against any such third party claim or demand. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within ten
calendar days after the date on which the 
  

 49 

 Indemnifying Party receives notice of the third party claim or demand made on the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying
Party elects to assume the defense of the third party claim or demand, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such third party claim or demand with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (who shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Party), by all appropriate proceedings, to a final conclusion or settlement at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 10.3(d). In such circumstances, the Indemnifying Party shall defend any
such third party claim or demand in good faith and have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not compromise or settle any such third party
claim or demand without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any third party claim or
demand, and the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation; provided that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense or settlement with separate counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party if in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party’s counsel a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation
advisable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly control any Tax claim with respect to a Straddle Period and shall not settle or compromise such claim without mutual
written consent. The Parties shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation, and settlement of any such Action, claim or demand. 
  
 (e) If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the
Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.3(d), then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, and be reimbursed for its reasonable cost and expense as and when incurred (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) in
regard to the third party claim or demand with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party), by all proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnified Party.
In such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall defend any such third party claim or demand in good faith and have full control of such defense and proceedings; provided that the Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or
settlement of such third party claim or demand if indemnification is to be sought hereunder, without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
  
 (f) If an Indemnifying Party becomes obligated to indemnify an Indemnified
Party hereunder, such Indemnifying Party shall pay to such Indemnified Party within three Business Days after becoming so obligated the amount to which such Indemnified Party shall be entitled; provided that if the Indemnified Party is an
Indemnified Acquiror Party, it shall first seek payment of the amounts to which it may become entitled hereunder from the Escrow Fund, but only to the extent that the Escrow Fund is then being held by the Escrow Agent. In the event of payment to an
Indemnified Acquiror Party from the Escrow Fund, within three Business Days from the date on which such Indemnified Acquiror Party became entitled to such portion of the Escrow Fund, Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall provide joint
written instructions to the Escrow Agent as to (i) the amount of funds, if any, to be disbursed from the Escrow Fund and (ii) instructions as to the manner in which such funds shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent. 
  
 (g) Except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional
misrepresentation, in connection with an alleged breach of Section 7.7, an Indemnified Acquiror Party may only assert, to the extent permitted hereunder, an indemnification claim under Section 10.1(b)(i) for the breach of the
applicable representation or warranty to which such alleged breach of Section 7.7 relates. 
  

 50 

 (h) For purposes of this Article X, to the extent that an Indemnified Acquiror Party asserts any
claims hereunder, all notices or other communications related to such claims shall be directed to the Stockholder Representative in accordance with Section 12.10. 
  
 Section 10.4 Survival Period. The rights of each party hereto to seek indemnification pursuant to this
Article X shall survive until the Escrow Release Date, other than (a) Losses related to Section 10.1(b)(iv) or Section 10.1(b)(v) or claims based on a breach of Section 4.19 (Taxes), which shall survive until the Final
Escrow Release Date or (b) Losses related to Section 10.1(b)(ii) or fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, which shall survive indefinitely; provided that if notice of an indemnifiable claim is provided within the
applicable time periods specified above, the right to indemnification hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the final resolution thereof. 
  
 Section 10.5 Exclusive Remedy. Except for claims or Losses (a) relating to fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, (b)
related to Section 10.1(b)(ii), (c) Post-Closing Acquisition Expenses, (d) the Net Consideration Adjustment or (e) as otherwise provided in Sections 8.1(b) and (c), the indemnification remedies provided in this Article X
shall constitute the exclusive remedy of the parties hereto after the Closing for any claim for any Losses resulting from a breach of any party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. Except as
otherwise set forth herein, claims against the Escrow Fund pursuant to this Article X constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Acquiror Parties against the Indemnifying Stockholders for any Losses hereunder, except for
claims or Losses of an Indemnified Acquiror Party (i) arising out of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation or under Section 10.1(b)(ii) (other than claims or Losses based on a breach of Section 7.1 (Confidentiality
and Announcements), Section 7.13 (Non-Solicitation of Employees) or Section 7.14 (Non-Competition)), as to which Indemnifying Stockholders shall be liable to the Indemnified Acquiror Party for amounts in excess of the Escrow Fund on a
joint and several basis and (ii) under Section 7.1 (Confidentiality and Announcements), Section 7.13 (Non-Solicitation of Employees) or Section 7.14 (Non-Competition), as to which the breaching Indemnifying Stockholder shall be
severally, and not jointly, liable to the Indemnified Acquiror Party for amounts in excess of the Escrow Fund. Any Losses satisfied from the Escrow Fund in respect of a claim made pursuant to Section 10.2 shall reduce each Indemnifying
Stockholder’s pro-rata share of the Escrow Fund. 
  
 Section 10.6 Release of Escrow Fund. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, the following amounts shall be released from the Escrow Fund to the Stockholder Representative at the times indicated
for disbursement to the Indemnifying Stockholders in accordance with their respective pro-rata share thereof: (a) on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount, if any, equal to $12,000,000 minus any portion of the Escrow Fund (i) subject
to pending claims, (ii) due and owing, (iii) previously paid to any Indemnified Acquiror Party and (iv) previously paid pursuant to Article VIII; (b) on the Escrow Release Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Escrow Fund
minus any portion of the Escrow Fund (A) subject to pending claims and (B) due and owing over (ii) $5,000,000; and (c) on the Final Escrow Release Date, the Escrow Fund minus any portion of the Escrow Fund (i) subject to pending claims and (ii) due
and owing. Any remaining portion of the Escrow Fund will be released from the Escrow Fund to the Stockholder Representative for disbursement to the Indemnifying Stockholders promptly upon resolution of any pending claims. The parties hereto agree to
negotiate in good faith the structure and terms of the Escrow Agreement as it relates to the Management Escrow, as necessary to cause the Management Escrow to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and applicable IRS guidance. 

 
 Section 10.7 Treatment. For Tax purposes, all
indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article X, other than payments made from the Escrow Fund, shall be treated by the parties hereto as adjustments to the Merger Consideration, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

 ARTICLE XI — TERMINATION 
  
 Section 11.1 Termination. 
  
 (a) This Agreement may be terminated on or prior to the Closing Date only as follows: 
  
 (i) by mutual written consent of Acquiror and Target; 
  
 (ii) at the election of either Acquiror or Target, if the Closing Date shall
not have occurred on or before 5:00 P.M. Eastern time on October 10, 2005; provided that (A) no party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(a)(ii) if such party’s failure to fulfill any
obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date and (B) if the sole reason that the parties hereto have not closed this transaction as of October 10, 2005 is that the required
approval from the United States Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission or any other antitrust Governmental Authority whose consent is required prior to the Closing has not been obtained, then neither Acquiror nor Target may terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(a)(ii) until January 9, 2006; 
  
 (iii) by either Acquiror or Target if a court of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order, decree or ruling permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and such order, decree, ruling or other Action shall have become final and nonappealable; 
  
 (iv) by Acquiror if Acquiror is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and there has been a material breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement of Target or the Indemnifying Stockholders contained in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1(a), or (b) would not be satisfied and such breach has not been
cured within fifteen calendar days after written notice thereof to Target and the Stockholder Representative; provided that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured; or 
  
 (v) by Target if Target and the Indemnifying Stockholders are not in
material breach of their obligations under this Agreement and there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement of Acquiror contained in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Sections
9.2(a) or (b) would not be satisfied and such breach has not been cured within fifteen calendar days after written notice thereof to Acquiror; provided that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot
be cured. 
  
 (b) The termination of this Agreement shall be
effectuated by the delivery of a written notice of such termination from the party terminating this Agreement to the other party. 
  
 Section 11.2 Obligations upon Termination. Except in the event of a termination pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iv) or (v), (in
which event, in addition to as provided in clause (a) and (b) below, Article X shall survive) in the event that this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 11.1, all obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement
shall terminate and there shall be no liability of any party hereto to any other party except (a) as set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2, and Article XII, and (b) that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for
any breach of this Agreement.

otherwise), inquiry, proceeding or investigation arising out of or related to this Agreement, (b) to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, hereby waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action,
any claim that it is not subject to the personal jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution by reason of a lack of personal jurisdiction, that any such proceeding brought in one of the
above-named courts is improper by reason of a lack of personal jurisdiction or venue, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court by reason of a lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue, and (c)
