1.4 Payment of the Purchase Price. The total aggregate consideration for the Purchased Shares shall consist of $14,000,000 (subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.5) comprised of (a) $9,500,000 in readily available funds (the “Base Purchase Price”), and (b) up to $4,500,000 in Earnout Payments, in accordance with Section 1.7 (collectively with the Base Purchase Price, the “Purchase Price”). At the Closing:

(a) The Buyer shall repay, or cause to be repaid, on behalf of the Company, the Estimated Indebtedness by wire transfer of immediately available funds as directed by the holders of such Indebtedness prior to the Closing, and at the Closing the Company shall have delivered to the Buyer all payoff letters, releases, discharges, and UCC-3 termination statements necessary to terminate the obligations of the Company with respect to the Estimated Indebtedness or otherwise requested by the Buyer, each in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Buyer (collectively, the “Payoff Documentation”), evidencing the pay-off amounts for all Estimated Indebtedness from each holder of Indebtedness, and containing an agreement that if such Indebtedness owed to such holder is paid to such holder on the Closing Date, all obligations owed to such holder shall be terminated and discharged and all Liens of such holder affecting any real or personal property of the Company will be released;

(b) The Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company, any unpaid Closing Costs in accordance with invoices reflecting the same provided by the Company and the Sellers to the Buyer, with each invoice indicating the amount required to fully discharge such Closing Costs, by wire transfer of immediately available funds;

(c) The Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Escrow Amount into the Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds, as directed by the Escrow Agent (and the funds in the Escrow Account shall be held and released by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement); and

(d) The Buyer shall pay to the Sellers (based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Share) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by each Seller prior to the Closing, the Base Purchase Price less (i) Sellers’ Portion of the Escrow Amount, less (ii) any Estimated Indebtedness, plus or minus (iii) the difference between the Estimated Closing Cash on Hand and the Transaction Bonus Employee Portion of the Escrow Amount, plus or minus (iv) the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds or is less than, as applicable, the Target Net Working Capital, all in accordance with (without duplication) Section 1.5(a) (the resulting amount, the “Closing Payment”).

1.5 Purchase Price Adjustments. As provided in this Agreement, the Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted (such adjustment may be positive or negative), if at all, on a dollar-for-dollar basis (it being clarified that there shall be no duplication of any amount used in calculating the following), all in accordance with the following:

(a) Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company delivered to the Buyer a statement setting forth the Company’s good faith estimated calculation, as of 12:01 a.m. EST on the Closing Date (without giving effect to the Transactions), of (i) the Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (ii) the Indebtedness of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Indebtedness”) and (iii) the Cash on Hand as of

2

the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Cash on Hand”), which Estimated Net Working Capital, Estimated Indebtedness, and Estimated Closing Cash on Hand were prepared in accordance with the definitions thereof and, in the case of Estimated Net Working Capital and Estimated Closing Cash on Hand, to the extent not inconsistent with the definitions thereof, GAAP and the methodology, clarifications and exceptions set forth in Schedule 1.5(a), and in accordance with the same accounting methods, standards, policies, practices, classifications, estimation methodologies, assumptions, procedures and level of prudence as were used to prepare the year-end Financial Statements (the “Methodology”). If the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Net Working Capital, then the Base Purchase Price payable to the Sellers at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.4(d) herein shall be increased by the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Net Working Capital. If the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the Target Net Working Capital, then the Base Purchase Price payable to the Sellers at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.4(d) herein shall be reduced by the amount by which the Target Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital. If there is a positive amount of Estimated Indebtedness (i.e., any amount greater than zero dollars), then the Base Purchase Price payable to the Sellers at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.4(d) herein shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Estimated Indebtedness. If there is a positive amount of Estimated Closing Cash on Hand (i.e., any amount greater than zero dollars), then the Base Purchase Price payable to the Sellers at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.4(d) herein shall be increased by an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Cash on Hand.

(b) Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative, no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, a statement (the “Closing Date Working Capital Statement”) which shall set forth, as of 12:01 a.m. EST on the Closing Date (without giving effect to the Transactions), (i) a calculation of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date and the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital so determined is less than or greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital; (ii) a calculation of the Indebtedness as of the Closing Date and the amount, if any, by which the Closing Indebtedness as of the Closing Date is less than or greater than the Estimated Indebtedness and (iii) a calculation of the Cash on Hand as of the Closing Date and the amount, if any, by which the Cash on Hand as of the Closing Date is less than or greater than the Estimated Closing Cash on Hand; (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), collectively, the “Adjustment Calculation”). The Closing Date Working Capital Statement and the Adjustment Calculation shall be prepared using and in accordance with GAAP and the Methodology.

(c) On or prior to the thirtieth (30^th) day following the Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement and the Adjustment Calculation, the Sellers’ Representative may give the Buyer a written notice stating in reasonable detail the Sellers’ Representative’s specific objections (an “Objection Notice”) to the items or amounts in the Closing Date Working Capital Statement or the Adjustment Calculation. Any item or amount set forth in the Closing Date Working Capital Statement or Adjustment Calculation that is not the subject of a timely and specific objection in the Objection Notice shall be deemed accepted by the Sellers’ Representative. Following the delivery of any Objection Notice, the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall attempt to negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer fail to agree on any of the Sellers’ Representative’s proposed adjustments set forth in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) days after the Buyer receives the Objection Notice, the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer agree that all items and

3

amounts set forth in the Objection Notice that are not resolved shall be submitted for final determination to BDO USA, LLP or, if BDO USA, LLP is unwilling or unable to so act, to another independent accounting firm selected by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, or if the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to mutually agree upon such an independent accountant within a ten (10) day period, then the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall each select an accounting firm and such firms together shall select the Accounting Arbitrator (each such accounting firm or certified public accountant making such determination being hereinafter referred to as the “Accounting Arbitrator”). The Accounting Arbitrator shall afford each of the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative up to thirty (30) days following engagement of the Accounting Arbitrator to present their positions as to the disputed items. If either Party fails to make such a presentation on a timely basis, the Accounting Arbitrator shall be required to decide without further delay or extension on the basis of the submissions made to it and the terms of this Agreement. The Accounting Arbitrator shall resolve all disputed items in a written determination to be delivered within fifteen (15) days following the end of the submission period; provided that any delay in delivering such determination shall not invalidate the award or otherwise deprive the Accounting Arbitrator of jurisdiction. The determination of any of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement or Adjustment Calculation disputed items by the Accounting Arbitrator shall be within, and limited by, the range comprised of the respective determination of each of the Parties’ calculation with respect to such disputed items. The determination of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement or Adjustment Calculation disputed items by the Accounting Arbitrator shall be based on whether such disputed items have been calculated in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 1.5 (including the relevant definitions), and the Accounting Arbitrator is not to make any other determination. The Accounting Arbitrator shall make its determination based solely on presentations and supporting material provided by the Parties and not pursuant to any independent review. Such resolution shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall be reflected in any necessary revisions to the Closing Date Working Capital Statement and the Adjustment Calculation. The Sellers shall, jointly and severally, pay a portion of the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator equal to the percentage by which the portion of the disputed amounts in the Sellers’ Representative’s submission to the Accounting Arbitrator not awarded to the Sellers’ Representative bears to the aggregate amount actually disputed by the Sellers’ Representative in the Sellers’ Representative’s submission to the Accounting Arbitrator, and the Buyer shall pay the remaining portion of such fees, costs and expenses. Such proportional allocations shall be determined by the Accounting Arbitrator at the time that its determination is rendered on the disputed items. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Buyer and the Sellers shall indemnify and hold each other harmless from the other Party’s failure to pay its portion of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator.

(d) For purposes of complying with this Section 1.5, the Parties will (i) furnish to each other and to the Accounting Arbitrator such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as each Party and the Accounting Arbitrator may reasonably request and are available to that Party (or its independent public accountants); provided that the obligations of the Parties under this clause (i) shall not result in the interference of the normal business operations of any Party, and (ii) subject to the timing limitation set forth in Section 1.5(c), be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Arbitrator any material related to the disputed items and to discuss the items with the Accounting Arbitrator; provided that the other Party and its Representatives shall be given reasonable notice of, and the opportunity to attend, any meeting with the Accounting Arbitrator.

Parties shall treat any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.5 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes.

1.6 Escrow. Subject to all other remedies available to the Buyer hereunder, the Escrow Amount shall secure (i) the Sellers’ indemnification obligations pursuant to Article 6 of this Agreement and (ii) any accounts receivable of the Company outstanding as of the Closing Date and uncollected on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, to the extent the aggregate outstanding amount of such accounts receivable exceeds $50,000. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Amount in escrow pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Buyer, the Sellers’ Representative and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”) until first anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if later, until such time as all Seller indemnification obligations for which a claim is pending as of such date have been finally determined), and, at such time, shall release the balance of the Escrow Amount, if any, to the Sellers, less amounts payable to the Transaction Bonus Employees based on the Transaction Bonus Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that any fees, costs or expenses of the Escrow Agent are to be paid one half by the Sellers and one half by the Buyer.

1.7 Contingent Consideration Based on Earnout. Each of the Sellers and, in accordance with the Transaction Bonus Agreements, the Transaction Bonus Employees may be entitled to, and the Buyer shall be obligated to pay as additional Purchase Price, consideration up to (and not to exceed) an aggregate amount of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.7 as follows (the payments made pursuant to this Section 1.7 shall be referred to as the “Earnout Payments”):

(a) Revenue Growth and EBITDA Margin.

(i) If the Company’s Revenue Growth for the 12-month period beginning January 1, 2021, and ending December 31, 2021 (the “Year 1 Earnout Period”), is equal to at least 70% of the 2021 Revenue Growth Target, the Sellers and the Transition Bonus Employees shall be entitled to a Earnout Payment of up to $1,500,000, payable on a sliding scale from 70% to 100% (with the full Earnout Payment being payable at 100%);

(ii) If (A) the Company’s EBITDA Margin for the Year 1 Earnout Period is equal to at least 90% of the 2021 EBITDA Margin Target and (B) the Revenue Growth for the Year 1 Earnout Period is equal to at least 60% of the 2021 Revenue Growth Target, the Sellers and the Transaction Bonus Employees shall be entitled to a Earnout Payment of up to $750,000, payable on a sliding scale from 90% to 100% (with the full Earnout Payment being payable at 100%);

(iii) If the Company’s Revenue Growth for the 12-month period beginning January 1, 2022, and ending December 31, 2022 (the “Year 2 Earnout Period”), is equal to at least 70% of the 2022 Revenue Growth Target, the Sellers and the Transaction Bonus Employees shall be entitled to a Earnout Payment of up to $1,500,000, payable on a sliding scale from 70% to 100% (with the full Earnout Payment being payable at 100%);

6

(iv) If (A) the Company’s EBITDA Margin for the Year 2 Earnout Period is equal to at least 90% of the 2022 EBITDA Margin Target and (B) the Revenue Growth for the Year 1 Earnout Period is equal to at least 60% of the 2022 Revenue Growth Target, the Sellers and the Transaction Bonus Employees shall be entitled to a Earnout Payment of up to $750,000, payable on a sliding scale from 90% to 100% (with the full Earnout Payment being payable at 100%); and

(b) Initial Calculation of Earnout Payment. Schedule 1.7(b) sets forth an example of the calculation of the Earnout Payments. In addition, to enable the determination of the Earnout Payments, up and until payment of the final Earnout Payment, the Company will be run in the ordinary course in the manner consistent with past practice. The Earnout Payment shall be calculated taking into account that (i) the cost to the Company of one (1) newly-hired sales person will not be allocated to the Company as an expense; (ii) the Company shall have access to the internal marketing and sales resources of the Buyer and its Affiliates, and the cost associated with such access shall not be allocated to the Company as an expense; (iii) the Company shall have access to the off-shore delivery services of the Buyer and its Affiliates, and the allocated expense associated with such access shall be equal to the Buyer and its Affiliates’ actual cost incurred in the delivery of such services; and (iv) the Company shall have access to other corporate services of the Buyer and its Affiliates that allow Company to avail itself to certain group cost savings, and the allocated expense associated with such access shall be equal to the Buyer and its Affiliates’ actual cost incurred in the delivery of such services. To the extent that the Company or the Buyer purchases any business, acquires any Person or acquires a division or segment of any Person, or launches any new lines of business, products or services, after the Closing Date, the portion of the Company’s revenue and EBITDA attributed thereto shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Company’s Revenue Growth and EBITDA Margin, and determining whether the Earnout Payment is payable, pursuant to Section 1.7.

(c) Payment. Subject to Section 6.7, if payable pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.7 the Earnout Payment shall be (i) paid in full to the Sellers and the Transaction Bonus Employees on the date that is no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the final determination of the Earnout Payment pursuant to Section 1.7(d), and (ii) made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank accounts designated in writing by the Sellers and the Transaction Bonus Employees in the percentages set forth on Schedule 1.7(c).

(d) Final Determination of the Earnout Payment.

(i) The Buyer shall provide Sellers’ Representative with the Company’s determination of the Earnout Payment within [ten (10) calendar days] after completion of the Company’s audit (whether on a standalone basis or as part of a consolidated group) for each of the Year 1 Earnout Period and the Year 2 Earnout Period (in each case, the “Earnout Payment Determination”). Each Earnout Payment Determination shall include a detailed calculation of Revenue Growth and EBITDA Margin for the applicable period, together with all supporting documentation.

(ii) Within forty-five (45) days after the Sellers’ Representative receives the Buyer’s Earnout Payment Determination (the “Earnout Payment Determination Review Period”), the Sellers’ Representative may dispute the Earnout Payment Determination.

7

During the Earnout Payment Determination Review Period, the Buyer and the Company will make readily available to the Sellers’ Representative and its independent accountants and other authorized representatives with access, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to the Company’s and the Company’s personnel and accountants (subject to the Sellers’ Representative signing a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company’s accountants) related to the preparation of the Earnout Payment Determination. If the Sellers’ Representative accepts in writing the Earnout Payment Determination or if the Sellers’ Representative fails within the Earnout Payment Determination Review Period to notify the Buyer of any dispute with respect thereto, then the Earnout Payment Determination shall be final and binding upon the Parties and the Buyer’s calculation of the Earnout Payment will be final and binding upon the Parties.

(iii) If the Sellers’ Representative disputes any part of the Earnout Payment Determination, the Sellers’ Representative will so inform the Buyer in writing (the “Earnout Payment Determination Objection”) during the Earnout Payment Determination Review Period. The Earnout Payment Determination Objection will include all disputed items and describe the basis or bases of the objection for each item. If, and to the extent that, the Earnout Payment Determination Objection does not dispute the determination of one or more items reflected in the Earnout Payment Determination, the Buyer’s determination of such items will be final and binding upon the Parties.

(iv) Within thirty (30) days after the Buyer receives the Earnout Payment Determination Objection, the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve all disputed items. If the Parties do not resolve all of the disputed items within the 30-day period, the remaining disputed items (collectively, the “Remaining Earnout Payment Disputed Items”) will be submitted to the Accounting Arbitrator.

(v) The Accounting Arbitrator will determine within sixty (60) days after the Accounting Arbitrator is engaged for purposes of this Section 1.7(d), on the basis of the standards set forth in this Section 1.7(d), and only with respect to the Remaining Earnout Payment Disputed Items, whether and to what extent, if any, the Remaining Earnout Payment Disputed Items require adjustment and the amount of the Earnout Payment. The Parties will make readily available to the Accounting Arbitrator all relevant books and records and work papers (including those of their respective accountants) in their respective possession or under their respective control relating to the calculation of the Earnout Payment (copies of any such materials and information shared by a Party with the Accounting Arbitrator also will be made available to the other Parties hereto). During such review period, no Party, nor any of their representatives, will communicate with the Accounting Arbitrator regarding its review and determination, unless the Party wishing to initiate such communication with the Accounting Arbitrator has first provided the other Party or Parties with at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the proposed communication and an opportunity for the other Party or Parties to be present for or otherwise participate in the communication. The determination of the Remaining Earnout Payment Disputed Items by the Accounting Arbitrator shall be based on whether such Remaining Earnout Payment Disputed Items have been calculated in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 1.7(d), and the Accounting Arbitrator is not to make any other determination (i.e., not an independent review). The Accounting Arbitrator will calculate the Earnout Payment based on its final determination of the Remaining Earnout

8

Payment Disputed Items made under this Section 1.7(d), which shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The Accounting Arbitrator shall render its determination about the Remaining Earnout Payment Disputed Items and the amount of the Earnout Payment in a written report specifying the Accounting Arbitrator’s conclusions about each such disputed item and specifying the resulting Earnout Payment. The Accounting Arbitrator’s written report shall be accompanied by a statement of the Accounting Arbitrator that its decision was reached in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.7(d). The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be paid pro rata by the Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, in relation to the proportional difference between the Accounting Arbitrator’s final determination of the Earnout Payment and the Buyer’s and the Sellers’ Representative respective determination of the Earnout Payment. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Buyer and the Sellers shall indemnify and hold each other harmless from the other Party’s failure to pay its portion of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator.

(e) Tax Characterization of Earnout Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, if applicable, the Earnout Payment made by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.7(e) shall be treated for federal income Tax purposes as additional purchase price for the Purchased Shares. The Parties hereby agree to file all Tax Returns and Tax informational statements on a basis consistent with such characterization.

(f) Related Earnout Payment Matters. The Parties understand and agree that (i) the contingent right to receive the Earnout Payment shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, is not guaranteed or secured in any fashion, is not transferable (except in the event of death of the recipient) and does not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Buyer or the Company, (ii) the Sellers shall not have any rights as a securityholder of the Buyer or the Company as a result of the contingent right to receive the Earnout Payment, (iii) no interest is payable with respect to the Earnout Payment and (iv) the right of each Seller to receive the Earnout Payment is not contingent on such Seller being employed by the Company.

(g) Post-Closing Activities. Except as otherwise provided herein, during each Earnout Period, the Buyer will, and will cause the Company to, comply with the following provisions: (i) neither Buyer nor the Company shall take any action in bad faith which has the primary purpose of reducing the payment of the Earnout Payment to the Sellers; and (ii) in order to permit accurate measurement of the Earnout Payment, the Buyer shall treat the Company’s business as an independent business unit for recordkeeping and accounting purposes. Except as set forth in this Agreement, nothing set forth in this Section 0 shall prevent the Buyer, the Company or their Affiliates from (x) operating their businesses, including the Business, in their sole discretion and in the best interests of the Buyer, the Company, their Affiliates and their shareholders (including, without limitation, changing the name of the Company), or (y) conducting their businesses, including the Business, in accordance with their sole business judgment and, in connection therewith, making any decision that they determine to be reasonable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the Buyer’s intent to not decrease any Company employee’s on-target earnings (which is the total of the employee’s base compensation and bonus, if any) until completion of the Year 2 Earnout Period. Additional information regarding Post-Closing Activities of the Company is set forth in Schedule 1.7(b).

1.8 Withholding Rights. The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law (including under Section 1445 of the Code, if applicable). To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer in accordance with the foregoing, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to any Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Buyer.

Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with applicable Law. The Buyer shall submit any such Tax Return to the Sellers’ Representative for the Sellers’ Representative’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) for such Tax Returns. The Sellers’ Representative shall provide any written comments to the Buyer not later than ten (10) days after receiving any such Tax Return and, if the Sellers’ Representative does not provide any written comments within ten (10) days, the Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to have accepted such Tax Return.

If the Parties are unable to resolve any such dispute at least ten (10) days before the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Tax Return, the dispute shall be referred to the Tax Dispute Accountant for resolution. If the Tax Dispute Accountant is unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by the Buyer subject to amendment, if necessary, to reflect the resolution of the dispute by the Tax Dispute Accountant. The Buyer shall be reimbursed by the Sellers (jointly and severally) for Taxes of the Company with respect to such periods within five (5) days of payment by the Buyer or the Company of such Taxes, except to the extent such Taxes are taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital. If the amount accrued for such Pre-Closing Tax Period Taxes in the calculation of Net Working Capital exceeds the amount that the Sellers are liable to pay pursuant to this Section 5.3(a)(i)(A) for such period, then the Buyer shall reimburse the Sellers (based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Share) for such amount within ten (10) days of the date that the applicable Tax Return representing the over-accrued Taxes is filed with the applicable taxing authority. The cost of preparing such Tax Returns shall be borne by the Company.

39

the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Tax Return. If the Tax Dispute Accountant is unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by the Sellers’ Representative subject to amendment, if necessary, to reflect the resolution of the dispute by the Tax Dispute Accountant. The Buyer shall be reimbursed by the Sellers (jointly and severally) for Taxes of the Company with respect to such periods within five (5) Business Days of payment by the Buyer or the Company of such Taxes, except to the extent such Taxes are taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital. If the amount accrued for such Pre-Closing Tax Period Taxes in the calculation of Net Working Capital exceeds the amount that the Sellers are liable to pay pursuant to this Section 5.3(a)(i)(B) for such period, then the Buyer shall reimburse the Sellers (based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Share) for such amount within ten (10) days of the date that the applicable Tax Return representing the over-accrued Taxes is filed with the applicable taxing authority. The cost of preparing such Tax Returns shall be borne by the Sellers.

If the Parties are unable to resolve any such dispute at least ten (10) days before the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Tax Return, the dispute shall be referred to the Tax Dispute Accountant for resolution and the resolution shall occur, to the extent possible, prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Tax Return. If the Tax Dispute Accountant is unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by the Buyer subject to amendment, if necessary, to reflect the resolution of the dispute by the Tax Dispute Accountant. The Buyer shall be reimbursed by the Sellers (jointly and severally) within five (5) Business Days of the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date, except to the extent such Taxes are taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital.

40

(A) in the case of any Taxes other than the Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Tax Period, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (B) in the case of Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Tax Period, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on and included the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Tax credit relating to a Straddle Tax Period, the portion of such Tax credit which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be the amount which bears the same relationship to the total amount of such Tax credit as the amount of Taxes described in clause (B) above bears to the total amount of Taxes for such taxable period.

(b) Tax Benefits Associated with the Closing Costs and Transaction Bonus Payments. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the Tax deductions associated with the Closing Costs and the Transaction Bonus Payments shall be for the sole benefit of the Sellers and shall be allocated to (and deemed to have been incurred in) the applicable Pre-Closing Tax Periods ending on the Closing Date or portions of the applicable Straddle Tax Periods ending on the Closing Date, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Sellers shall be entitled to any Tax benefits actually realized with respect to each such Tax deduction.

44

(j) Purchase Price Allocation. The Buyer and the Sellers shall allocate the Purchase Price (plus other relevant items, including the Liabilities of the Company that the Buyer is deemed to assume for Tax purposes) among the respective assets of the Company in accordance with the residual method principles of Sections 1060 and 338 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and consistent with the methodology attached hereto as Schedule 5.3(j) (the “Purchase Price Allocation”).    The Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative the Purchase Price Allocation no later than sixty (60) days following the final determination of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.5.

The Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties as and when incurred for any and all Losses that any such Buyer Indemnified Party suffers as a result of: (i) all Taxes of the Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Company) for any taxable period; (ii) all Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Straddle Period; (iii) any Loss attributable to a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 4.9; (iv) any Loss attributable to the failure of the Sellers to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Section 5.3; (v) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, or combined group of which the Company is or were a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a Liability under Treasury

(m) Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 5.3 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.9) shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) for the Taxes in question, provided, that if notice of indemnification is provided to the Sellers’ Representative prior to any such expiration date, any obligation to indemnify for any claim described in such notice shall continue until such claim is finally resolved.

(n) Treatment of Indemnity Payments for Tax Purposes. Any payment under this Section 5.3 or Article 6 will be treated, for Tax purposes, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price payable by the Buyer to the Sellers, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(o) Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Article 6 may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Section 5.3, the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall govern.

5.4 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing, the Buyer and the Sellers shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action as reasonably may be necessary to further effectuate the Transactions.

5.5 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Each Seller makes, constitutes and appoints the Sellers’ Representative, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, as his or its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for him or it and in his or its name, place, and stead to sign, execute, deliver and perform any Transaction Documents required to be executed by such Seller (or any Transaction Documents by which such Seller is otherwise bound), to make and authorize amendments to, or waivers of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, to enforce the obligations of the Buyer or the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, to give and receive all notices required or permitted by the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and to defend and/or settle any indemnification claims made by the Buyer or any other Indemnified Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each case, subject to the terms and limitations in this Agreement, hereby ratifying and confirming that the Sellers’ Representative may do or cause to be done by virtue hereof and to make all determinations and elections hereunder and thereunder. This power of attorney is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, and shall survive the Closing and death, disability, legal incapacity, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, or cessation of existence of any Seller. This power of attorney may be exercised by the Sellers’ Representative by listing the Seller executing any Transaction Document with the single signature of the Sellers’ Representative acting as attorney-in-fact for such Seller. The Sellers’ Representative shall have no Liability in its capacity as Sellers’ Representative to the Sellers, or

46

any of the respective Affiliates or Representatives of the Sellers, arising out of or resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken in his capacity as Sellers’ Representative or otherwise on behalf of the Sellers, except with respect to any Liability resulting from the Sellers’ Representative’s willful misconduct. Each Seller hereby forever releases and discharges the Sellers’ Representative from any and all Liability which may arise out of or result from any action taken or omitted to be taken in his capacity as Sellers’ Representative or otherwise on behalf of the Sellers, except with respect to any Liability resulting from the willful misconduct of the Sellers’ Representative.

(b) Each Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless and reimburse the Sellers’ Representative from and against such Sellers’ Pro Rata Share of any and all Liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by the Sellers’ Representative arising out of or resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Sellers’ Representative in his capacity as Sellers’ Representative or otherwise on behalf of the Sellers or under the Transaction Documents, other than such Liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses arising out of or resulting from the Sellers’ Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or in Sellers’ Representative’s capacity as an Seller hereunder.

(c) Each Party shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any communication given or other action taken by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Nothing in this Section 5.5 shall limit the rights of the Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party under this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

5.6 Access and Investigation.

The Buyer and its Representatives (a) have had access to and the opportunity to review all of the documents in the data room maintained by BMI Mergers on behalf of the Company and the Sellers, and (b) have been afforded full access to the books and records, facilities and Representatives of the Company for purposes of conducting a due diligence investigation with respect thereto. The Buyer has conducted an independent investigation and verification of the Company and its operations, including, without limitation, the financial statements and condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company. In making its determination to proceed with the Transactions, the Buyer has relied solely on the results of such independent investigation and verification and on the representations and warranties of the Sellers and the Company set forth in this Agreement, as qualified by the Seller Disclosure Schedule and the Company Disclosure Schedule, respectively (collectively, the “Company Representations”). The Company Representations constitute the sole and exclusive representations, warranties, and statements of the Company and the Sellers as to any matter concerning the Company, the Shares or the Business or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.7 Legal Representation.

(a) This Agreement expresses the mutual intent of the Parties hereto and each Party has participated equally in its preparation. Accordingly, the rule on construction against the drafting party shall have no application to this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereby agrees,

47

on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, that Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP (“H&C”), may serve as counsel to any of the Company, the Sellers, the Sellers’ Representative, the Company’s board of directors, (individually and collectively, the “Seller Group”), in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, and that, following consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, H&C (or any successor) may serve as counsel to the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding the current representation of the Seller Group. In connection with any representation of the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative described in the prior sentence, the Buyer hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause the Company to irrevocably waive and not to assert any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with H&C’s representation of the Seller Group prior to the Closing. As to any privileged attorney-client communications between H&C and the Company and any member of the Seller Group prior to the Closing (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”), the Buyer and the Company, together with any of its respective Affiliates, agree that no such party may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications in any action against or involving any of the Parties after the Closing.

(b) The Buyer further agrees, on behalf of itself and, after the Closing, on behalf of the Company, that all privileged communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among H&C, on the one hand, and any member of the Seller Group, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any alternative transactions to the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement presented to or considered by any member of the Seller Group, (collectively, the “Privileged Deal Communications”) shall remain privileged after the Closing, and that the Privileged Deal Communications and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to Sellers, shall be controlled by Sellers and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Buyer or the Company, except as set forth below. The Buyer agrees that it will not, and that it will cause the Company not to, (i) access or use the Privileged Deal Communications, (ii) seek to have Sellers waive the attorney client privilege, or otherwise assert that the Buyer or the Company has the right to waive the attorney client privilege applicable to the Privileged Deal Communications, or (iii) seek to obtain the Privileged Deal Communications from the Sellers or H&C.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Buyer or the Company, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Sellers, on the other hand, then the Buyer or the Company may assert the attorney client privilege to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Deal Communications to such third party.

Article 6

6.1 Survival.

(a) Survival of Covenants. All of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing until the first to occur of (i) the expiration

48

by their terms of the obligations of the applicable Party under such covenant or (ii) such covenant being fully performed or fulfilled, unless non-compliance with such covenants or agreements is expressly waived in writing by the Party entitled to such performance.

(b) Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing until the close of business on the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that (i) the Fundamental Representations and any matters involving fraud shall survive indefinitely, (ii) the Core Representations shall survive until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for the applicable underlying claim, including any extensions or waivers thereof.

(c) Deadline for Asserting Claims. The Parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 6.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’ length negotiation among the Parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the Parties. Any claims pending on the expiration of the survival period for any representation or warranty for which notice has been given in accordance with this Article 6 on or before such expiration may continue to be asserted and indemnified against until finally resolved. Any claim or potential claim for indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any of such matters that is not asserted by notice given as within such specified period of survival may not be pursued and is hereby irrevocably waived from and after such time.

6.2 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Sellers.

(i) Subject to the limitations of this Article 6, from and after the Closing, each Seller shall (solely with respect to himself or itself), severally and not jointly, indemnify the Buyer, each of its Affiliates, and their respective successors, assigns, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) and save and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such Buyer Indemnified Parties as and when incurred for any and all Losses that any such Buyer Indemnified Party suffers as a result of: (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of such Seller under Article 3 hereof or any other Transaction Document and (2) any breach of any covenant or agreement by such Seller under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(ii) Subject to the limitations of this Article 6, from and after the Closing, the Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties and save and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such Buyer Indemnified Parties as and when incurred for any and all Losses that any such Buyer Indemnified Party suffers as a result of (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties with respect to the Company under Article 4 of this Agreement, (2) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Sellers’ Representative, acting in its capacity as such, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (3) any Indebtedness that is not repaid in full as of the Closing, (4) any payments due to any current or former employee of the Company as a result of or in connection with the Transactions other than the Transaction Bonus Payments, (5) the failure of the Company to maintain, prior to the Closing Date, (A) disaster

49

recovery plans that are adequate to ensure that the Information Technology and data used by the Company can be replaced or substituted without material disruption to the Business and (B) adequate procedures to ensure internal and external security of the Information Technology and data used or held for use in the Business, including procedures for preventing unauthorized access, preventing the introduction of viruses and making and storing on-site and off-site back-up copies of the computer software and data and (6) any account receivable of the Company outstanding as of the Closing Date and uncollected on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, to the extent the aggregate outstanding amount of such accounts receivable on the first anniversary of the Closing Date exceeds $50,000.

(b) Indemnification by the Buyer. Subject to the limitations of this Article 6, from and after the Closing, the Buyer shall indemnify the Sellers and their respective assigns and agents, (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) and save and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such Seller Indemnified Parties as and when incurred for any and all Losses that any such Seller Indemnified Party suffers as a result of:

(i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Buyer or the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

6.3 Provisions Related to Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification Deductible. Other than with respect to Fundamental Representations, no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for Losses under clause (1) of Section 6.2(a)(i) and clause (1) of Section 6.2(a)(ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses suffered or incurred by Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to such clauses exceeds $100,000 (the “Threshold”), provided that if the aggregate amount of Losses suffered or incurred by Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds the Threshold, the Sellers shall be liable for all such Losses. Other than with respect to Fundamental Representations, no Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for Losses under Section 6.2(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses suffered or incurred by Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to such Section exceeds the Threshold, provided that if the aggregate amount of Losses suffered or incurred by Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds the Threshold, the Buyer shall be liable for all such Losses.

(b) Indemnification Cap. Other than with respect to Fundamental Representations, with respect to any liability of the Sellers for Losses under clause (1) of Section 6.2(a)(i) and clause (1) of Section 6.2(a)(ii), the maximum aggregate liability of the Sellers for claims will be limited to the amount that is equal to 20% of the sum of (i) the Closing Payment and (ii) the aggregate Earnout Payments made to the Sellers in accordance with Section 1.7 (the “Indemnification Cap”). Other than with respect to fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, and subject to the Indemnification Cap, the amount of Losses recoverable from any given Seller under Section 6.2(a) in the aggregate shall not exceed and shall be limited to the amount of proceeds actually received by such Seller in relation to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

50

(c) Determination of Losses. Losses payable to or received by an Indemnified Party under this Agreement will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of any insurance proceeds with respect to such Losses, net of any increase in premiums or other out-of-pocket costs of the Indemnified Party (collectively, “Third-Party Recovery Proceeds”), in each case, actually received by any Indemnified Party, it being understood that in no event will any indemnification payment under this Article 6 be delayed in anticipation of the receipt of any Third-Party Recovery Proceeds. In the event that an Indemnified Party receives Third-Party Recovery Proceeds for a matter that an indemnification payment under this Article 6 has been made, such Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount on a dollar-for-dollar basis of the Third-Party Recovery Proceeds, net of any out-of-pocket costs of the Indemnified Party incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such Third-Party Recovery Proceeds, but not more than the amount of indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article 6. The amount of any indemnity payable under this Agreement on account of a Loss will be subject to adjustment to avoid “double counting.” For purposes of determining (i) whether there is an inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty and (ii) the amount of any Loss, any qualifications in the representations, warranties and covenants with respect to a “Material Adverse Change,” materiality, material, or similar terms will be disregarded and will not have any effect with respect to whether there is an inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty and the calculation of the amount of any Losses.

(d) Exclusion of Liability. No Buyer Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement for any Loss arising from a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement set forth in this Agreement (and the amount of any Loss incurred in respect of such breach will not be included in the calculation of any limitations on indemnification set forth in this Agreement) to the extent that such Loss or Liability has actually reduced the Purchase Price on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

6.4 Claim Notice and Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Direct Claims. In the event that a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party (as applicable, an “Indemnified Party”) asserts a claim for indemnification (other than a Third-Party Claim) for a Loss with respect to which a Buyer or a Seller (in each case as the case may be, an “Indemnifying Party”) may become obligated to indemnify, defend, compensate, or reimburse any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 6 (a “Direct Claim”), then such Indemnified Party shall give notice of such Direct Claim (a “Direct Claim Notice”), (i) if such Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnified Party, to the Sellers’ Representative, or (ii) if such Indemnified Party is a Seller Indemnified Party, to the Buyer. A Direct Claim Notice must describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and must indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent such Loss is quantifiable) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party (the “Claimed Amount”).

(b) Notice of Third-Party Claims. In the event of the assertion of any claim by any third-party Person with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may become obligated to indemnify, defend, compensate, or reimburse any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 6, or the commencement by any third-party Person of any Action or Proceeding (whether against a Party or any other Indemnified Party) with respect to which any Indemnifying Party may become obligated to indemnify, defend, compensate, or reimburse any Indemnified Party pursuant to this

51

Article 6, (each, a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party, if having notice of such Third-Party Claim, shall provide the Indemnifying Party with prompt written notice of such Third-Party Claim (a “Third-Party Claim Notice” and together with a Direct Claim Notice, a “Claim Notice”).

(c) Failure to Promptly Deliver Claim Notice. The failure to promptly provide a Claim Notice will not affect the rights of any Indemnified Party to receive indemnification generally for Losses to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s rights and obligations in relation to such Direct Claim or Third-Party Claim are not materially and actually prejudiced. This Section will not operate to extend the applicable survival period set forth in Section 6.1.

(d) Response to Claim Notice. Within the thirty (30) day period commencing upon the delivery to the Indemnifying Party of a Claim Notice (the “Dispute Period”), the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Indemnifying Party: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party; (ii) agrees, with specificity as to the reasons and amount, that part (but not all) of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to the Indemnified Party; or (iii) asserts that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party. Any part (or all) of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed by the Indemnifying Party to be owing to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the Response Notice is referred to as the “Contested Amount.” If a Response Notice is not timely received by the Indemnified Party prior to 11:59 p.m. EST prior to the end of the Dispute Period, then the Indemnifying Party will be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party.

(e) Payment of Full Claimed Amount. If (i) the Indemnifying Party delivers a timely Response Notice agreeing that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a timely Response Notice during the Dispute Period, then, subject to the limitations, requirements, and procedures set forth in Article 6 and Article 9 of this Agreement, (A) the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer, if a Buyer Indemnified Party is the Indemnified Party, shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver to the Buyer from the Escrow Account within five (5) Business Days from the delivery of the Response Notice or the expiration of the Dispute Period in the event a timely Response Notice is not delivered (the “Indemnification Payment Period”) cash in an amount equal to the Claimed Amount, and, if the funds remaining in the Escrow Account are insufficient to pay the entire Agreed Amount, then the Sellers’ Representative shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds any amount that remains unpaid, to the account or accounts designated by such Indemnified Party; or (B) Buyer, if a Seller Indemnified Party is the Indemnified Party, shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Indemnified Party, within the Indemnification Payment Period, cash in an amount equal to the Claimed Amount, to the account or accounts designated by such Indemnified Party.

(f) Payment of Less Than Full Claimed Amount. If the Indemnifying Party delivers a timely Response Notice agreeing that less than the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party, then, subject to the limitations, requirements, and procedures set forth in Article 6 and Article 9 of this Agreement, (i) the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer, if a Buyer Indemnified Party is the Indemnified Party, shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to

52

deliver to the Buyer from the Escrow Account within the Indemnification Payment Period cash in an amount equal to the Agreed Amount and, if the funds remaining in the Escrow Account are insufficient to pay the entire Agreed Amount, then the Sellers’ Representative shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds any amount that remains unpaid to the account or accounts designated by such Indemnified Party; or (ii) the Buyer, if a Seller Indemnified Party is the Indemnified Party, shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Indemnified Party, within the Indemnification Payment Period, cash in an amount equal to the Agreed Amount that remains unpaid, to the account or accounts designated by such Indemnified Party.

(g) Settlement of Contested Amount. If the Indemnifying Party delivers a timely Response Notice indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party resolve such dispute as to all or a portion of the Contested Amount (which mutually resolved amount will then become an Agreed Amount), then, subject to the limitations, requirements, and procedures set forth in Article 6 and Article 9 of this Agreement, (i) the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer, if a Buyer Indemnified Party is the Indemnified Party, shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver to the Buyer from the Escrow Account within the Indemnification Payment Period cash in an amount equal to the Agreed Amount and, if the funds remaining in the Escrow Account are insufficient to pay the entire Agreed Amount, then the Sellers’ Representative shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds any amount that remains unpaid, to the account or accounts designated by such Indemnified Party; or (ii) the Buyer, if a Seller Indemnified Party is the Indemnified Party, shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Indemnified Party, within the Indemnification Payment Period, cash in an amount equal to the Agreed Amount that remains unpaid, to the account or accounts designated by such Indemnified Party.

(h) Failure to Settle Contested Amount. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are unable to resolve any part of the dispute relating to any Contested Amount within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Response Notice, then with respect to the remaining Contested Amount, either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party (with Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative as the sole authorized agents, of the Parties, as the case may be) may submit the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction following the delivery of the Response Notice, subject to the limitations, requirements, and procedures set forth in Article 6 and Article 9 of this Agreement.

(i) Defense of Third-Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claim on the terms set forth in Section 6.4(j) or Section 6.4(k), as applicable, provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Third-Party Claim Notice of the Indemnifying Party’s intent to conduct such defense and in such notification acknowledges its indemnification obligations with respect to such Third-Party Claim and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if the Third-Party Claim (1) seeks non-monetary relief, (2) involves criminal or quasi criminal allegations, (3) involves a Government Entity or (4) involves Losses in excess of the amounts indemnifiable by the

53

Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnified Party will be entitled to conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claim on the terms set forth in Section 6.4(l), provided that Indemnifying Party has not elected, or is not entitled to, conduct the defense pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(j) If the Indemnifying Party does deliver such written notice of its intent to conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 6.4(i) and the Indemnifying Party is entitled to defend such claim pursuant to Section 6.4(i), the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Subject to Section 6.4(k):

(i) the Indemnifying Party shall proceed to defend such Third-Party Claim in a commercially reasonable, diligent manner at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party, subject to any applicable limitations in this Article 6;

(ii) the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any non-privileged documents and materials in the possession of the Indemnified Party that may be necessary to the defense of such Third-Party Claim;

(iii) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party informed of all material developments and events relating to such Third-Party Claim;

(iv) the Indemnified Party will have the right to participate, at its sole cost and expense, in the defense of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that (A) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, to retain one (1) firm of separate counsel of its choosing (along with any required local counsel) if (1) the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified so mutually agree, (2) the Indemnifying Party fails to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (3) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (4) the named parties in any such Third-Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them; and

(v) the Indemnifying Party may not settle, adjust, or compromise such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent is not permitted to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that no consent will be required if such settlement, adjustment, or compromise (i) provides solely for monetary damages that will be paid or reimbursed in full by the Indemnifying Party and (ii) includes an irrevocable release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to the Third-Party Claim.

(k) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Proceeding under Section 6.4(j), and if, subject to notice and ten (10) days to cure where cure is reasonable and not materially injurious to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party has an uncured breach of any of its obligations under Section 6.4(j), then the Indemnified Party may, at its election, proceed with the defense of such Third-Party Claim on its own at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.

54

(l) If the Indemnified Party proceeds with the defense of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 6.4(i) or Section 6.4(k):

(i) the Indemnified Party shall proceed to defend such Third-Party Claim in a commercially reasonable, diligent manner;

(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnified Party any documents and materials in the possession or control of the Indemnifying Party that may be necessary to the defense of such Third-Party Claim;

(iii) the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party informed of all material developments and events relating to such Third-Party Claim; and

(iv) the Indemnified Party may not settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim if the settlement or compromise agreement would require the Indemnifying Party to make any indemnification payment pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

6.5 Exclusive Remedy. Other than claims for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, the provisions of this Article 6 are the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parties for any misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, nothing in this Agreement, including the limitations provided in Section 6.3 will (i) limit the rights or remedies expressly provided for in any Transaction Document or rights or remedies that, as a matter of applicable Law or public policy, cannot be limited or waived; or (ii) be deemed to prohibit or limit any Party’s right at any time to seek injunctive or equitable relief for the failure of any other Party to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (subject to the limitations with respect thereto set forth in Section 9.12 (Specific Performance)). No Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover any Losses relating to any matter arising under one provision of this Agreement to the extent that any Indemnified Party had already been fully compensated for the same Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement.

6.6 Applicability. This Article 6 shall not apply to any Tax matters, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 5.3.

6.7 Right to Set-Off. In addition to all other rights and remedies that the Buyer Indemnified Parties may have under this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have the right to set off against any Earnout Payment owed to the Sellers any sums for which any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties is entitled to indemnification under this Article 6, subject to (i) the Buyer Indemnified Parties first having sought recovery against the Escrow Amount and (ii) the limitations set forth in this Article 6. If on the date that any of the Earnout Payments is due to the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.7, any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties has made a claim against the Sellers for indemnification under Article 6 and such claim has not, by such date, been finally resolved in accordance with this Article 6, and if the then remaining amount in the Escrow Account is insufficient to satisfy such claim in full when taken together with all other

55

then pending claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Article 6, then the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall, subject to the application of the limits set forth in this Article 6, retain the amount in dispute until the date of resolution thereof (to be withheld without interest). If the amount in dispute is less than the amount of the Earnout Payment due to be paid on such date, the Buyer shall pay the balance of any such Earnout Payment to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement.

Article 7

9.12 Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the other Party hereto may occur if any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached and that such injury would not be adequately compensable in damages because of the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of damages that will be suffered if this Agreement was breached. It is accordingly agreed that each of the Parties shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity, to specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief, without proof of actual damages, to prevent any violation of the terms hereof, and the other Party hereto will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Party seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at Law or in equity. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived.

9.13 Construction. In construing this Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, the following principles shall be followed: (a) the terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and other similar terms refer to this Agreement as a whole and not only to the particular Article, Section or other subdivision in which any such terms may be employed; (b) except as otherwise set forth herein, references to Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits refer to the Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits of this Agreement, which are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement; (c) a reference to any Person shall include such Person’s predecessors; (d) all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with GAAP; (e) no consideration shall be given to the headings of the Articles, Sections, Schedules, Exhibits, subdivisions, subsections or clauses, which are inserted for convenience in locating the provisions of this Agreement and not as an aid in its construction; (f) the words “includes” and “including” and their syntactical variants mean “includes, but is not limited to” and “including, without limitation,” and corresponding syntactical variant expressions; (g) a defined term has its defined meaning throughout this Agreement, regardless of whether it appears before or after the place in this Agreement where it is defined, including in any Schedule or Exhibit; (h) the word “dollar” and the symbol “$” refer to the lawful currency of the United States of America; and (i) the plural shall be deemed to include the singular and vice versa.

9.15 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof.

9.16 Mutual Drafting. The Parties hereto are sophisticated and have been represented by counsel who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof.

Net Working Capital Methodology

Assumptions used to Illustrate Net Working Capital Methodology:

Thus, Sellers’ Representative will pay Buyer $50,000 in final settlement.

Schedule 1.7(b)

Calculation of Earnout Payment

• The Revenue Growth and EBITDA Margin reflect the Buyer’ s goal of integrating the Company and allowing the Company to leverage the Buyer’ s sales team, installed client base and delivery engine, as well as other capabilities that the Buyer and its affiliates expect to be available.

• Any revenue and profit earned by projects of the Buyer and its Affiliates sold by the Company will be counted on the Company’s income statement for purposes of calculating Earnout Payments.

• For purposes of calculating the Earnout Payments, achievement of each metric shall be measured individually, in each calendar year, except payment on achievement of the EBITDA Margin shall require at least 60% achievement of the Revenue Growth for the year in question.

• Year end 2020 revenue of the Company is assumed to be $ l l.3M, with 18% EBITDA Margin. If revenue and EBITDA Margin fall below these levels, the targets for Revenue Growth and EBITDA Margin in 2021 and 2022will be adjusted accordingly.

• Year 1 (calculated from January l, 2021 - December 31, 2021) Earnout targets, as set forth in the table below, will be based on the greater of $1.3M revenue and 18% EBITDA Margin, or actual for 2020.

• Year 2 (calculated from January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022) Earnout targets, as set forth in the table below, will be based on the greater of $1.3M revenue and 18% EBITDA Margin, or actual for 2021.

i

• Total Earnout Payment of $2,250,000 based on achievement of at least 70% of Revenue Growth and 90% of EBITDA Margin in Year 1. $1,500,000 shall be based on achievement of Revenue Growth and $750,000 shall be based on achievement of EBITDA Margin. Achievement of either metric shall result in an Earnout Payment, payable on a sliding scale from 70% to 100 % for Revenue Growth and 90% to l 00% for EBITDA Margin.

• For example, if in Year l the Revenue Growth achieved is 14% and the EBITDA Margin achieved is 18%, the Earnout Payment would be $1.73 million ($1.05 million payable on Revenue Growth and $0.68 million payable on EBITDA Margin).

• Total Earnout of $2,250,000 based on achievement of at least 70% of the Revenue Growth and 90% of the EBITDA Margin in Year 2. $1,500,000 shall be based on achievement of Revenue Growth and $750,000 shall be based on achievement of EBITDA Margin. Achievement of either metric shall result in an Earnout Payment, payable on a sliding scale from 70% to 100 for the Revenue Growth and 90% to 100% for the EBITDA Margin.

• For example, if in Year 2 the Revenue Growth is 14% and the EBITDA Margin is 23%, Earnout Payment would be $1.74 million ($1.05 million payable on Revenue Growth and $0.69 million payable on EBITDA Margin).

• Each twelve-month period will stand on its own with respect to target

ii

achievement and each Earnout Payment will be capped at 100% achievement.
