 AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION 
 THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the “Agreement”), dated as of June 11, 2008, is made by and among The Princeton Review,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), TPR SoCal I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Sub I”), TPR SoCal, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub II”), The Princeton Review of Orange, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), and Paul Kanarek, an individual residing in the State of California, and the sole
stockholder of the Company (the “Stockholder”). The foregoing parties are sometimes referred to herein each individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Article 11. 
 WHEREAS, the Company operates several test preparation businesses pursuant
to franchise agreements with Parent. Parent desires to acquire the entire equity interest in the Company from Stockholder and Stockholder desires to sell the entire equity interest in the Company to Parent, on the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement. 
 WHEREAS, this Agreement contemplates a merger of Merger Sub I with and into the Company, with the Company
surviving, followed by a merger of the surviving corporation of the foregoing merger with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II surviving (collectively, the “Merger”). In such Merger, the Stockholder will receive a combination
of Parent Common Stock and cash in exchange for Company Common Stock. 
 WHEREAS, in furtherance of the Merger, (a) the
Boards of Directors of each of the Merger Subs, Parent and the Company have duly adopted the plan of merger set forth in this Agreement and recommended it for approval by their respective stockholders, and have approved (i) the Certificates of
Merger (the “Certificates of Merger”) to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California and the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (each, a “Secretary of State,” and together, the
“Secretaries of State”) in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2, respectively, to effectuate the Merger, (ii) this Agreement and (iii) the Merger; and (b) Parent, as the sole stockholder
of the Merger Subs, and Stockholder, as the sole stockholder of the Company, each have approved the plan of merger set forth in this Agreement, all in accordance with this Agreement and, as applicable, the California Corporations Code (the
“California Laws”) and the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Delaware Laws”). 
 WHEREAS, the Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(i)(A) of the Code, and this Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization”
within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
benefits to be derived from this Agreement and the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, conditions and promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Parties hereby agree as follows. 
 ARTICLE 1 
 THE MERGER 
 Section 1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the California Laws and the Delaware Laws, at the Effective Time, (a) Merger Sub I shall be merged with and into the Company, at which time the separate corporate 

 
existence of Merger Sub I shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation, and, immediately thereafter, (b) the Company, as the
surviving corporation in the foregoing merger, shall be merged with and into Merger Sub II, at which time the separate corporate existence of the Company shall cease and Merger Sub II shall continue as the surviving entity (the “Surviving
Company”). 
 Section 1.2. Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices
of Goodwin Procter LLP, Exchange Place, 53 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts, at 10:00 a.m. on a date that is as soon as practicable following satisfaction (except to the extent waived in accordance with Article 5) of all conditions to the
obligations of the Parties to consummate, or cause the consummation, of the Merger and the taking of all other actions (other than those that by their terms are to be satisfied or taken, or waived, at or after the Closing) set forth in Article 5, or
on such other date, and at such other time or place, as Parent and the Stockholder may mutually agree in writing. 
 Section 1.3. Actions
at the Closing. At the Closing, the Parties shall file, or cause to be filed, the Certificates of Merger and other appropriate documents in the offices of the applicable Secretary of State and shall make all other filings or recordings required
under the California Laws and the Delaware Laws, to give effect to the Merger. 
 Section 1.4. Effective Time. The Merger shall become
effective at the time of the acceptance of the filing of the Certificates of Merger by the Secretaries of State (the “Effective Time”). 
 Section 1.5. Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects provided for in the California Laws and the Delaware Laws. 
 Section 1.6. Certificate of Formation and Operating Agreement. The certificate of formation and the operating agreement of the Surviving Company immediately following the Effective Time shall remain in full
force and effect, except that the name of the limited liability company set forth therein shall be changed to the name of the Company. 
 Section 1.7. Managers of Surviving Company. From and after the Effective Time, the individuals identified on Exhibit B shall be the initial managers of the Surviving Company. 
 Section 1.8. Merger Consideration. 
 (a) Merger Consideration. By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Stockholder, Parent, the Merger Subs or the Company, or their respective stockholders, except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.8,
the Stockholder shall be entitled to receive from Parent, in exchange for all shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, an aggregate amount of cash and Parent Common Stock, allocated in accordance
with this Section 1.8, equal to the Merger Consideration. “Merger Consideration” shall mean $12,246,129. 
 (b)
Allocation of Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, the Stockholder, after surrender of the stock certificate that represents all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company
Certificate”), together with a letter of transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in the form of (i) 719,149 shares of Parent Common
Stock, calculated based on the Price Per Share (the “Stock Consideration”), and cash in the amount equal to $6,646,115.74 (the “Cash Consideration”), reduced by the Escrow Amount. At the Effective Time, the Parent
shall (y) pay to the Stockholder the Cash Consideration less the Escrow Amount, and shall issue, or cause to be issued, to and in the name of Stockholder, a stock certificate representing the Stock Consideration, and (z) pay to the
Escrow Agent $2,000,000.00 in cash (the “Escrow Amount”), to be administered pursuant to the Escrow 

  

 2 

 
Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and the Company Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, the Company Certificate shall, upon and
following the Effective Time, represent solely the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to adjust the
allocation of the Merger Consideration between cash and stock by the minimum extent necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(e). 
 (c) Membership Interests in Merger Sub II. At the Effective Time, each unit of membership interest of Merger Sub II issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall constitute one (1) validly issued unit of membership interest of the Surviving Company. 
 (d) Effect on Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the Stockholder’s right to receive the Merger Consideration shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be
canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and the Stockholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration. 
 Section 1.9. Release of Escrow Amount. 
 (a) On the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”), the amount by which the Escrow Amount exceeds the Escrow Release Date Indemnification Amount as of such date shall be
released by the Escrow Agent to the Stockholder; provided, that in the event there is an asserted, but unresolved claim for Damages for which Parent has provided any Claim Notice to the Stockholder pursuant to the provisions of Article 8,
Parent may direct the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement to continue to withhold a portion of the Escrow Amount equal in value to the amount of Damages estimated in good faith by Parent and set forth in such Claim Notice(s).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (the “Partial Release Date”) and if counsel to the Stockholder has executed and delivered to Parent the legal opinion that is
attached hereto as Exhibit C, $750,000 of the Escrow Amount (or such lesser amount that is being held in escrow on such date pursuant to the Escrow Agreement) shall be released by the Escrow Agent to the Stockholder, provided, that in
the event there is an asserted, but unresolved claim for Damages for which Parent has provided any Claim Notice to the Stockholder pursuant to the provisions of Article 8, Parent may direct the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement to
continue to withhold a portion of the Escrow Amount equal in value to the amount of Damages estimated in good faith by Parent and set forth in such Claim Notice(s). 
 (b) Following the Escrow Release Date, if any indemnification claim made under this Agreement but not finally resolved by the Partial Release Date or the Escrow Release Date, as the case may be, and with respect to
which the Escrow Agent has withheld a portion of the Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 1.9(a) is finally resolved, unless Parent otherwise determines in good faith that the amount withheld with respect to its and the Indemnified Parties’
indemnification claims is less than the amount to which they are entitled to indemnity hereunder, then such excess amount so withheld shall be released to the Stockholder. 
 Section 1.10. Tax Consequences. The Parties intend for the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of
Section 368(a)(i)(A) of the Code, and the Parties adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations; provided, that no Party makes any
representations or warranties to any other Party as to whether the Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; provided further, that each of the Parties (i) has reviewed with
its own tax advisors the tax consequences of the Merger to each of them, (ii) is relying solely on such advisors and not on any 

  

 3 

 
statements or representations of the other Party or its agents, and (iii) acknowledges that each Party is responsible for its own tax consequences
resulting from the Merger and any other transactions effected in connection therewith or otherwise contemplated in this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 2 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 OF THE SELLING PARTIES 
 The Stockholder and the Company (each, a
“Selling Party” or “Seller Party” and together, the “Selling Parties”), jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Buyer Parties that the statements contained in this Article 2 are true and
correct as of the date of this Agreement, and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date, except as otherwise set forth in the Disclosure Schedule delivered by the Stockholder and the Company to Parent on the date hereof (the
“Disclosure Schedule”). The Disclosure Schedule will be arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the Sections and subsections contained in this Article 2. 
 Section 2.1. Organization and Standing. Each of the Franchises listed on Exhibit D attached hereto (each, a “Franchise,” and together, the “Franchises”) (a) is, if
such Franchise is an entity, an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation (which are listed in Section 2.1(a) of the Disclosure Schedule), (b) has all requisite
corporate or other power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted and (c) is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership,
leasing or operation of its properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, which jurisdictions are listed in Section 2.1(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, except where such failure to be so qualified or licensed would not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change to a Franchise. The Seller Parties have made available to Parent and its Representatives complete and correct copies of each Franchise’s Constitutive Documents, stock record books and minute
books, if applicable, each of which are true and complete. 
 Section 2.2. Power and Authority; Binding Agreement. 
 (a) Subject to the adoption of the plan of merger set forth in this Agreement by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Stockholder’s
approval, as the sole stockholder of the Company, (i) the Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and to perform its
obligations hereunder, and (ii) the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of the Company, and no other proceedings on the part of the Seller Parties shall be necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Seller Parties, and assuming due execution and delivery by the other Parties, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Seller Parties, enforceable against the Seller Parties in accordance with its terms,
subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar federal or state laws affecting the rights of creditors and the effect or availability of rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive
relief or other equitable remedies (regardless of whether any such remedy is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Laws and Equitable Principles”).

material default thereunder by the applicable Franchise or, to the Seller Parties’ knowledge, any other party thereto. No notice, waiver, consent or approval is required (or the lack of which would give rise to a right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration of, or entitle any party to accelerate, whether after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, any obligation under the Material Contracts) under or relating to any Material Contract in connection with the

a Material Adverse Change to any Franchise. To the Seller Parties’ knowledge, no activity of any employee or Contingent Worker of a Franchise as or while an employee or Contingent Worker of such Franchise has caused a violation of any
employment or consulting Contract, confidentiality agreement, patent disclosure agreement, or other Contract. To the Seller Parties’ knowledge, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the conduct of the business of the

and against, and compensate, reimburse and pay for, any Damages which are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by Parent or Merger Sub II or to which Parent or Merger Sub II may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such

a closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable year of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds any beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such
time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company or any Affiliate thereof for a period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) which relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the
amount of such Tax for the entire taxable year or period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable year or period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the
Straddle Period. 
 Section 6.5. Consents. The Company shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain all
material consents, orders, approvals, authorizations, declarations or filings, and give all notices, in each case which are required to be obtained by applicable Law or Governmental Entity, and which are necessary to consummate the Merger and the

other transactions contemplated hereby. 
 Section 7.4. Further Assurances. From time to time prior to the Closing, as and when
requested by any Party, the other Parties shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such other Party may reasonably
deem necessary or desirable in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 Section 7.5. Tax-Free Reorganization Treatment. Each of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Company and the Stockholder shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to constitute a

filings as a Reorganization. The Parties acknowledge that the Stockholder will receive a significant benefit from the treatment of the Merger as a Reorganization; provided, however, that no Party makes any representations, warranties
or guarantees to any other Party as to whether the Merger qualifies as a Reorganization. 
 Section 7.6. Limit on Distributions. The

to midnight on May 31, 2008 that remain unsatisfied as of the Effective Time, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Portion of the Tiu Settlement (the “Unsatisfied Obligations Amount”), other than (i) certain

(“Damages”) incurred or suffered by any of such Indemnified Parties resulting from, relating to or constituting: 
 (i) any
breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of a Seller Party contained in this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) or in any other agreement, certificate or other instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of a Seller
Party pursuant to this Agreement (in each case, without giving effect to any materiality, Material Adverse Change or similar qualification contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representation or warranty, except for the
qualification set forth in Section 2.27); 
 (ii) any failure by a Seller Party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement
applicable to it contained in this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement; 
 (iii) each of the
matters described in Section 6.4(f); 
 (iv) any claim in respect of any asset of the Company made by any predecessor entity to the
Company or any current or former creditor thereto or stockholder thereof; 
 (v) any indemnification obligations owing by the Company to any

 (vi) except for the Company Portion of the Tiu Settlement, the wage and hour class action
case titled Tiu & Campbell v. The Princeton Review, Inc.;

 35 

 (viii) any Legal Proceeding relating to any matter referred to in clauses (i) through

against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any of such Indemnified Parties resulting from, relating to or constituting:

 (ii) any failure by a Buyer Party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to it contained in this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement. 

Section 8.2. Indemnification Claims. 
 (a) An Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party (a “Claim Notice”) of the commencement of any suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which indemnification pursuant to this
Article 8 may be sought (each a “Third Party Claim”). Such Claim Notice shall be given within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Claim, and shall describe in
reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the
Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of such
Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the
Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of any Legal Proceeding involving a Third Party Claim for criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume
control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense (the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate in, but not control, the defense at its own expense; provided,
that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third
Party Claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of protecting or preserving such conflicting interests or different defenses shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement. The
party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the
Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which
may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim. The
Controlling Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any Judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
provided, that the Indemnified Party may reject any such settlement where the relief sought is other than money Damages. 
  

 36 

 (b) Any claim for which an Indemnified Party intends to assert a right to indemnifiable Damages under
this Agreement which does not result from a Third Party Claim or for which the Indemnified Party seeks release of escrowed funds (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by giving to the Indemnifying Party a Claim Notice stating the
nature, basis and amount, if known of the claim. Within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Response Period”), the Indemnifying Party shall respond to the Indemnified Party in writing to accept the
claim or to dispute the claim, in which event such response shall provide specific detail of any allegations in the Claim Notice that are disputed. In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to respond within the twenty (20) Business Day
period or elects not to dispute the Claim Notice, then such claim shall conclusively be deemed to be an obligation of the Indemnifying Party and shall be paid in full within thirty (30) days following the end of the Response Period. 

(c) In the event of any controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, or any breach thereof, or any
Direct Claim disputed pursuant to the procedure in Section 8.2(b) which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are unable to resolve through negotiation, the party asserting such claim or breach shall give written notice (the
“Dispute Notice”) to each other party setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such claim or alleged breach. Except as set forth in the following sentence, such dispute if not otherwise resolved by agreement of such parties
shall be settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator selected by such parties in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association and located in the State of Delaware. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party fail
to agree upon an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the date of the Dispute Notice, then (i) each party shall select an arbitrator within the following ten (10) days, (ii) the arbitrators selected by the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party shall select a third arbitrator, and (iii) all arbitrators shall arbitrate the controversy or claim. The results of the arbitration shall be final binding and not subject to appeal. 
 Section 8.3. Survival; Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge. All representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations in this
Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party for, (a) with respect to the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1 (Organization and Standing), Section 2.2 (Power and Authority; Binding Agreement), Section 2.3 (Authorization), Section 2.4 (Capitalization), Section 2.16 (Taxes),
Section 2.18 (Benefit Plans), Section 4.1 (Organization and Standing), Section 4.2 (Power and Authority; Binding Agreement) and Section 4.3 (Authorization), the applicable statute of limitations, (b) with respect to the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.5 (Non-Contravention), Section 2.6 (Compliance with Laws), Section 2.10 (Undisclosed Liabilities), Section 2.11 (Assets Other than Real Property), Section 2.27
(Disclosure), Section 3.1 (Power and Authority; Binding Agreement), Section 3.2 (Non-Contravention) and Section 3.3 (Title to Securities), for four (4) years following the Effective Time, and (c) with respect to all other
representations and warranties, for eighteen (18) months following the Effective Time. If an Indemnified Party delivers to Indemnifying Party, before expiration of the applicable time period, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such
representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, or a notice that, as a result a legal proceeding instituted by or written claim made by a third party, the Indemnified Party reasonably expects to incur Damages as a result of a breach of such
representation, warranty, covenant or obligation (an “Expected Claim Notice”), then such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such
notice. If the legal proceeding or written claim with respect to which an Expected Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly so notify the Indemnifying
Party. The right to 

  

 37 

 
indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations will not be affected by any
investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or
compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect
the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations. 
 Section 8.4. Fraud Claims. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 8.5), nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way limit, impair, modify or otherwise
affect the rights of an Indemnified Party to bring any claim, demand, suit or cause of action otherwise available to such Indemnified Party based upon, or to seek or recover any Damages arising from or related to, an allegation or allegations that
an Indemnifying Party had an intent to defraud (as such term applies under common law and securities law principles) or made a willful or intentional misrepresentation or omission of a material fact in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 Section 8.5. Limitations, Etc. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate liability or deemed liability for Damages under this Article 8 shall not exceed
$7,250,000.00 for either (i) the Stockholder, on the one hand, or (ii) Parent and the Surviving Company, on the other hand; provided, that Damages arising from or related to (x) the matters described in Section 8.4 and
Section 6.4(f) shall not be subject to such limitation, and (y) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of a Seller Party contained in Section 2.1 (Organization and Standing), Section 2.2 (Power and Authority;
Binding Agreement), Section 2.3 (Authorization), Section 2.4 (Capitalization), Section 2.18 (Benefit Plans), and any failure to perform or comply with the covenant contained in Section 6.11(Termination of Qualified Plans) shall
not exceed Merger Consideration. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i) or Section 8.2(a)(i) unless and until the total Damages to which such Indemnified Party is entitled exceed $200,000.00 (the “Damage Threshold”), at which point the Indemnified
Parties shall be entitled to collect the full amount of the Damages incurred. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Indemnified Party shall take reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the
breach which gives rise to the Damages. 
 (d) The indemnification of Damages of the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article 8 shall be
net of the amount of any insurance proceeds and indemnity and contribution actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties. 
 (e) The
Stockholder shall not have any right of contribution against the Company or the Surviving Company with respect to any Damages claimed by an Indemnified Party.

within ten (10) Business Days after the giving of written notice thereof from Parent; or 
 (e) by the Stockholder, if a Buyer Party has
