(v)Sections. All references in this Agreement to any “Section” are to the corresponding Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that such Party has not breached, will not detract from, or mitigate the fact that, the Party is in breach of the other representation, warranty or covenant.

(a)No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company prepared and delivered to Parent a written statement, duly certified by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “Closing Statement”), setting forth the Company’s good faith calculation of (i) the estimated Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (ii) the estimated Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), (iii) the estimated Closing Company Cash (the “Estimated Closing Company Cash”), (iv) the estimated Closing Company Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Company Transaction Expenses”), (v) the estimated Merger Consideration (the “Estimated Merger Consideration”) and (vi) with respect to each Equityholder of the Company, (A) the name, address and email address of such Equityholder, (B) the number and class of all shares of Series D Preferred Stock and Series D-a Preferred Stock, held by such Equityholder immediately prior to Closing, (C) a calculation of the Allocable Share with respect to each such Equityholder, (D) a calculation of the amount of the Estimated Merger Consideration payable to such Equityholder at Closing and (E) whether there is any required withholding on account of Taxes with respect to such Equityholder’s Allocable Share of the Merger Consideration, and, with respect to each such Equityholder, the amount of any such withholding with respect thereto ((A)-(E) collectively, the “Payment Schedule”), in each case, including the components thereof and determined in a manner consistent with the definitions thereof and the Accounting Principles and based on the Company’s books
5
4892-0619-9513



and records, and together with reasonable supporting back-up documentation. The Company shall consider in good faith any comments to the Closing Statement, which shall be delivered by Parent to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing. Parent and its Representatives, including Parent’s independent accountants, will be entitled to review all work papers of the Company, including its independent accountants, relating to the Closing Statement. If Parent disputes the Closing Statement (or any portion thereof) prior to the Closing Date, Parent and the Company will negotiate in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the Closing and shall agree in writing upon the resolution thereof, which shall be reflected in a final Closing Statement delivered by the Company at Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent’s acceptance of the Company’s Closing Statement and the components thereof for purposes of the Closing shall not limit or otherwise affect Parent’s rights under this Section 2.6.
(b)Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Parent will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Equityholder Representative, a written statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith calculation of (i) Closing Net Working Capital, (ii) Closing Indebtedness, (iii) Closing Company Cash, (iv) Closing Company Transaction Expenses, and (v) the Merger Consideration, which calculations will be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the definitions provided in this Agreement.
(c)Upon receipt from Parent of the Post-Closing Statement, the Equityholder Representative shall have thirty (30) days to review the Post-Closing Statement (the “Review Period”). Parent shall (i) assist the Equityholder Representative and its Representatives and provide the Equityholder Representative and its Representatives with reasonable access upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours to, the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents (subject to the execution of customary access letters)), supporting data, facilities, employees and auditors of the Company, in each case, to the extent relevant to the preparation or review of the Post-Closing Statement and the items included therein, and (ii) reasonably cooperate with the Equityholder Representative and its Representatives in connection therewith, including providing on a timely basis all other information as is reasonably requested by the Equityholder Representative and its Representatives. If the Equityholder Representative disagrees with Parent’s computation of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Company Cash, Closing Company Transaction Expenses or Merger Consideration, the Equityholder Representative may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a notice to Parent (the “Notice of Objection”) that sets forth its objection(s) to Parent’s calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Company Cash, Closing Company Transaction Expenses and/or Merger Consideration, as applicable. The Notice of Objection, if any, shall specify those items or amounts with which the Equityholder Representative disagrees with each such item or amount, and shall set forth the Equityholder Representative’s calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Company Cash, Closing Company Transaction Expenses and/or Merger Consideration, as applicable, based on such objections.
(d)Except to the extent set forth in a Notice of Objection delivered to Parent by the Equityholder Representative within the Review Period, the Equityholder Representative shall be deemed to have accepted Parent’s calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Company Cash, Closing Company Transaction Expenses and/or Merger Consideration, as applicable, and such calculation shall be final and binding on all parties hereto. If the Equityholder Representative delivers the Notice of Objection to Parent within the Review Period, Parent and the Equityholder Representative shall, during the twenty (20) days following such delivery or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to determine Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Company Cash, Closing Company Transaction Expenses and/or Merger Consideration, as applicable. All such discussions and communications related thereto shall (unless otherwise agreed by Parent and the Equityholder Representative) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule. Any items agreed to by the Equityholder Representative and Parent in writing, together with any items specified in the Post-Closing Statement that are not disputed or objected to by the Equityholder Representative in the Notice of Objection, are collectively referred to herein as the “Resolved Matters.”
6
4892-0619-9513



(e)If, at the end of the period set forth in Section 2.6(d) or any mutually agreed extension thereof, Parent and the Equityholder Representative are unable to resolve their disagreements, either the Equityholder Representative or Parent may refer all matters set forth in such Notice of Objection other than the applicable Resolved Matters (the “Unresolved Matters”) to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm or independent consulting or professional services firm with significant merger and acquisition dispute experience related to purchase price adjustments and, if applicable, related tax matters reasonably acceptable to the Equityholder Representative and Parent, which shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The Equityholder Representative and Parent each agree to negotiate in good faith and sign an engagement letter within ten (10) Business Days after the identification of any Unresolved Matters, in commercially reasonable form, as may reasonably be required by the Independent Accounting Firm. Parent and the Equityholder Representative shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to act as an expert in accounting and not as an arbitrator and to promptly review this Section 2.6 (and any related definitions) and to determine solely with respect to the Unresolved Matters and, whether and to what extent, if any, any component of the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Company Cash, Closing Company Transaction Expenses and/or Merger Consideration, as applicable, requires adjustment. The review of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be subject to an agreed upon schedule outlined in the engagement letter. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to (i) whether the Post-Closing Statement was prepared in accordance with (A) the Accounting Principles and (B) this Agreement, in each case, with respect to the Unresolved Matters and (ii) whether there were mathematical errors in the Post-Closing Statement. The Independent Accounting Firm shall base its determination solely on written submissions by Parent and the Equityholder Representative and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and prepared on a good faith basis, and not on an independent review. Parent and the Equityholder Representative shall make available to the Independent Accounting Firm all relevant books and records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents) and other items reasonably requested by the Independent Accounting Firm (provided, that they shall contemporaneously provide a copy to the other party of any materials requested by, and provided to, the Independent Accounting Firm) and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any material relating to the Unresolved Matters. There shall be no ex parte communications between the Equityholder Representative, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Independent Accounting Firm, on the other hand. The final written determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be made in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without regard to principles of equity. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to deliver to Parent and the Equityholder Representative (as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after its retention) a report which sets forth its resolution of the Unresolved Matters and amounts and its calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Company Cash, Closing Company Transaction Expenses and/or Merger Consideration, as applicable; provided, however, that (X) the Independent Accounting Firm shall use the amounts set forth in the Post-Closing Statement or as otherwise agreed to by the Equityholder Representative and Parent in writing pursuant to Section 2.6(d) for any Resolved Matters and (Y) in no event shall any Unresolved Matter as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm be more than the greatest value claimed by a party for such Unresolved Matter or less than the smallest value claimed by a party for such Unresolved Matter, in the case of Parent, in the Post-Closing Statement or in the case of the Equityholder Representative, in a Notice of Objection. The decision of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on Parent and the Equityholder Representative absent fraud or manifest error. The Parties agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.
(f)Parent and the Former Holders shall share the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm in inverse proportion to the relative amounts subject to the Notice of Objection that are determined in favor of such party, in accordance with the following formulas: (i) Parent shall pay a portion of such fees and expenses equal to the total fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar amount subject to the Notice of Objection resolved in favor of the Equityholder Representative and the denominator of which is the total dollar amount subject to the Notice of Objection and (ii) the Former Holders shall pay a portion of such fees and expenses equal to the total fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar amount subject to the Notice of Objection resolved in favor of Parent and the denominator of which is the total dollar amount

subject to the Notice of Objection; provided, however, that any portion of the Independent Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses that are the responsibility of the Former Holders shall (A) first, be paid out of the Equityholder Representative Expense Fund, to the extent then available, and (B) second, to the extent the Equityholder Representative Expense Fund is exhausted, by the Former Holders, severally and not jointly, in proportion to their applicable Allocable Share; provided that no Former Holder shall be responsible for any fees of the Independent Accounting Firm in excess of the portion of the Merger Consideration actually received by such Former Holder as an Equityholder (net of any payments made by such Equityholder pursuant to this Agreement, including pursuant to Article X). Parent and the Former Holders shall each be responsible for paying the fees and expenses of their own respective attorneys, accountants and other Representatives in connection with Notice of Objection. For the avoidance of doubt, and solely as an example, if the Equityholder Representative disputes a total of $100 and the Independent Accounting Firm awards $60 in favor of the Former Holders, Parent shall pay 60% of the fees of the Independent Accounting Firm.
(g)For the purposes of this Agreement, “Final Net Working Capital,” “Final Closing Indebtedness,” “Final Closing Company Cash,” “Final Company Transaction Expenses” and “Final Merger Consideration” mean Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Company Cash, Closing Company Transaction Expenses and Merger Consideration, respectively: (i) as shown in the Post-Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Equityholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.6(b), if no Notice of Objection with respect thereto is timely delivered by the Equityholder Representative to Parent pursuant to Section 2.6(c) or (ii) if a Notice of Objection is so delivered, (A) as agreed by Parent and the Equityholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.6(d) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Independent Accounting Firm’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(e).
(h)If (i) the Adjustment Amount is positive, then (A) Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Paying Agent, the Adjustment Amount within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Adjustment Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6(g) by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Paying Agent for payment to the Former Holders in accordance with the Payment Schedule, this Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement, provided, however, that in no instance shall the Adjustment Amount payable by Parent in accordance with this Section 2.6(h)(i) exceed the Adjustment Escrow Amount and (B) Parent and the Equityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deposit the Adjustment Escrow Amount with the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Former Holders (and, in each case, for further payment to the Former Holders pursuant to the Equityholder Representative’s instructions to the Paying Agent), or (ii) if the Adjustment Amount is negative, then, within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Adjustment Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6(g), (A) Parent and the Equityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Parent, from the Adjustment Escrow Amount, an amount equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount, provided, however, that in no instance shall the Adjustment Amount payable to Parent in accordance with this Section 2.6(h)(ii) exceed the Adjustment Escrow Amount, and (B) Parent and the Equityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deposit the remainder of the Adjustment Escrow Amount, if any, with the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Former Holders.
(i)The adjustment provisions set forth in this Section 2.6 are the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties in (i) determining whether or not any adjustment would be made to the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Company Cash, Closing Company Transaction Expenses or Merger Consideration, and (ii) determining the amount of such adjustment.
(j)Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration (as determined for Tax purposes) for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

1.10Section 280G. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, to the extent that any “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G) has the right to receive or retain any payments or benefits in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that reasonably would be expected to constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G), the Company (a) solicited and used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, from each such person whom the Company reasonably believes is a “disqualified individual,” a waiver of all or a portion of such disqualified individual’s rights or potential rights to any such payments and/or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”), such that none of the remaining payments and/or benefits applicable to such disqualified individual would be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G, and (b) thereafter, with respect to each disqualified individual who executed the waiver described in clause (a), submitted for approval the right of any such disqualified individual to receive or retain the Waived 280G Benefits to a vote of the holders of the equity interests of the Company entitled to vote on such matters (and, to the extent necessary or appropriate in accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.280G-1, Q/A-7, the voting equity holders of any “entity shareholder”), in the manner intended to satisfy
46
4892-0619-9513



the requirements under Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, and such disqualified individual’s right to receive the Waived 280G Benefits was conditioned upon receipt of such requisite approval. To the extent that any contract, agreement, plan or arrangement is entered into (or planned to be entered into) by, or at the direction of, the Company and a disqualified individual at or prior to Closing, the Company provided a copy of such contract, agreement, plan or arrangement to Parent and cooperated with Parent in good faith in order to calculate or determine the value (for purposes of Section 280G) of any payments or benefits granted or contemplated therein that may constitute, individually or in the aggregate with other payments and/or benefits, “parachute payments”. Before any such waiver agreement was sought from any disqualified individual and before submission to the holders of the equity interests of the Company, and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company provided Parent and its counsel with final calculations of the potential “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G), copies of the proposed waiver agreements and all materials for such submission (including the disclosure statement and holder consent), and Parent was provided with a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon and the Company accepted any reasonable comments with respect to the same provided by Parent. To the extent applicable, prior to the Closing, the Company delivered to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that a vote of holders of the equity interests of the Company was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10 and that either (i) the requisite number of votes of holders of the equity interests of the Company was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits (the “280G Approval”) or (ii) the 280G Approval was not obtained and the Waived 280G Benefits shall not be paid.

(c)From the Closing Date through December 31, 2024, with respect to the Continuing Employees, Parent will cause the Company or an Affiliate thereof to continue to: (i) maintain target incentive compensation amounts (it being understood that incentive compensation provided by Parent to each Continuing Employee need not be provided in the form of equity or equity-based grants) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the target incentive compensation amounts provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) provide eligibility for benefits that are at least comparable in the aggregate to the benefits available under Employee Benefit Plans in which the applicable Continuing Employee participates immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) provide health insurance coverage with deductibles and other terms, in the aggregate, no less favorable than those being provided under the applicable Employee Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing.

Nothing in Sections 6.11(b), 6.11(c), or any other provision of the Agreement will obligate Parent or any of its Affiliates to continue the employment of any Continuing Employee after the Closing.
47
4892-0619-9513



(d)Effective from and after the Closing Date, Continuing Employees will be given credit for eligibility and vesting purposes and benefit accrual purposes under the employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements maintained from time to time by Parent, the Company or an Affiliate thereof, for such Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or such Affiliate to the same extent and for the same purposes that such service was taken into account under a corresponding Employee Benefit Plan of the Company as of the Closing Date, except that no such service will be credited to the extent that it would result in a duplication of benefits.
(e)All provisions contained in this Agreement with respect to employee benefit plans, employee compensation, and other terms and conditions of employment are included for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and do not create any right in any other Person, including any employee or former employee of the Company or any participant or beneficiary in any Employee Benefit Plan.

Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholders and their respective Affiliates with respect to any liability under the WARN Act (and any comparable Law requiring notice to employees) arising or resulting, in whole or in part, from any actions taken by Parent on or after the Closing.
(h)With respect to any benefit plan maintained by Parent or the Company that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), Parent or the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any pre-existing condition exclusions or waiting periods that apply to the Continuing Employees and his or her covered dependents to be waived and provide each Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents with credit for any co-payments, deductibles and other out of pocket expenses incurred under the Employee Benefit Plans for purposes of satisfying the co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses under the corresponding benefit plans of Parent.
1.12R&W Policy. Prior to the Closing, Parent will obtain, a R&W Policy that contains terms and conditions that are mutually acceptable to Parent and the Equityholder Representative (and Parent will provide a copy of such R&W Policy to the Equityholder Representative), including terms to the effect that, other than with respect to claims for Fraud, the R&W Insurer (a) waives, and agrees not to pursue, directly or indirectly, any subrogation rights against the Stockholders with respect to any claim made by any insured under the R&W Policy, and (b) agrees that Parent has no obligation to pursue any claim against the Stockholders in connection with any Loss. From and after the date hereof, Parent will not, and will cause each of its Affiliates not to, amend, modify, terminate or otherwise waive any terms or conditions of such R&W Policy so as to expand the subrogation or contribution rights of the R&W Insurer against the Stockholders under such R&W Policy without the prior written consent of the Equityholder Representative. Parent and any other insured party under the R&W Policy bear all risk of (i) the applicable R&W Insurer’s insolvency or breach of the R&W Policy, (ii) the failure of any insured party under the R&W Policy to file notices of claims that are timely and sufficient under the R&W Policy, and (iii) the applicable R&W Insurer’s (A) failure to make any payments to any insured party under the R&W Policy or (B) denial of coverage for any reason.

directors has validly adopted resolutions to terminate the Keap 401(k) Plan (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to prior review and approval of Parent) effective no later than the date immediately preceding the Closing Date. Parent shall make commercially reasonable efforts to permit each participant in the Keap 401(k) Plan to roll their account balances from the Keap 401(k) Plan to a Section 401(k) Plan sponsored by Parent or a Subsidiary, including, without limitation, the rollover of participant Keap 401(k) Plan loans that are outstanding as of the Closing Date. Regardless of when the rollovers described in the preceding sentence occur, and if not already permitted by the terms of the Parent 401(k) Plan, prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall make commercially reasonable efforts to amend its 401(k) Plan to add a special plan entry date so that the Company continuing employees who meet the age and service requirements of Parent 401(k) Plan as of the Closing Date (after taking into account the service crediting provisions above) shall be eligible to participate in the Parent 401(k) Plan no later than the first day of the second payroll period beginning after the Closing Date.

Article VIIA
THE EQUITYHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE
1.1Authorization of the Equityholder Representative.
(a)The Equityholder Representative hereby is appointed, authorized and empowered as of the Closing to act as the sole and exclusive representative, agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact of each Equityholder, regardless of whether such Person votes in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger, in connection with, and to facilitate the consummation of, the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and in connection with the activities to be performed on behalf of the Equityholders under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Equityholder Representative is hereby appointed, authorized and empowered to act as the sole and exclusive representative, agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact of the Equityholders with the full power and authority:
(i)to take such actions and to execute and deliver such amendments, modifications, waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and thereby as the Equityholder Representative, in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary or desirable to give effect to the intentions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents;
(ii)to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Equityholders and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Equityholder Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, including acting on each Equityholder’s behalf in any dispute, litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement or such other agreements or any document delivered to the Equityholder Representative in such capacity pursuant hereto or thereto;
(iii)to facilitate the distribution to the Equityholders of any amounts owed them pursuant to the Escrow Agreement;
(iv)to authorize the release of the Equityholder Representative Expense Fund or otherwise control the Equityholder Representative Expense Fund;
49
4892-0619-9513



(v)control any attorney-client privilege as described in Section 10.19;
(vi)to waive or refrain from enforcing any right of any Equityholder and/or of the Equityholder Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and
(vii)to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Equityholder Representative, in its sole and absolute direction, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the activities described in paragraphs (i) through (vi) above and the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance.
(b)Parent, the Company and each of their Affiliates will be entitled to rely exclusively upon the communications of the Equityholder Representative relating to the foregoing as the communications of the Equityholders. None of such Persons (i) need be concerned with the authority of the Equityholder Representative to act on behalf of all Equityholders hereunder, or (ii) will be held liable or accountable in any manner for any act or omission of the Equityholder Representative in such capacity. After the Closing, any notices delivered to the Equityholder Representative in connection with Article X hereof shall constitute notice to all Equityholders.
(c)The grant of authority provided for in this Section 7.1(c) is coupled with an interest and is being granted, in part, as an inducement to the Company and Parent to enter into this Agreement and will be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Equityholder and will be binding on any successor thereto.
(d)In the event that the authorized Equityholder Representative hereunder shall resign, become unable to fulfill its responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise fail to act on behalf of the Equityholders for any reason, the Equityholders whose Allocable Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time constituted no less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the aggregate Allocable Shares of all Equityholders shall promptly appoint a new Equityholder Representative and notify Parent of the identity of and contact information for such successor.
(e)The Equityholder Representative will incur no liability in connection with its services pursuant to this Agreement and any related agreements except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Equityholder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Equityholders shall indemnify the Equityholder Representative against any reasonable, documented, and out-of-pocket losses, liabilities and expenses (“Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any related agreements, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Equityholder Representative, the Equityholder Representative will reimburse the Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. Representative Losses may be recovered by the Equityholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Equityholder Representative Expense Fund and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Equityholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Equityholders; provided, that while the Equityholder Representative may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will the Equityholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Equityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Equityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Equityholder Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Equityholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.
50
4892-0619-9513



(f)At Closing, Parent will deposit $250,000, as a fund for any payments or distribution to any Person (as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Equityholder Representative) (the “Equityholder Representative Expense Fund,” each, a “Payment” and collectively, the “Payments”) with the Equityholder Representative, which will be used for any expenses incurred by the Equityholder Representative. The Equityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Equityholder Representative Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Equityholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Equityholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Equityholder Representative’s responsibilities, the Equityholder Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Equityholder Representative Expense Fund to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Equityholders. For tax purposes, the Equityholder Representative Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Equityholders at the time of Closing.

4892-0619-9513

Article XIA
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1Survival.
(a)Other than as expressly set forth in Section 10.2 and any covenant or agreement that, by its express terms, is to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing, the representations, warranties covenants and agreements of the Company, the Equityholders, Parent and/or Merger Sub made in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered in connection herewith shall not survive beyond the Closing, and thereafter there will be no liability on the part of, nor will any claim be made by, any Party or any of their respective Affiliates in respect thereof. Any covenant or agreement to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing and continue until performed in full (unless a shorter period is expressly prescribed with respect to such covenant or agreement).
(b)Parent, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives including, after the Closing, the Company (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”), acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any of the Equityholders relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection herewith, or as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether arising under, or based upon, any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law (including common law), ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law) are
53
4892-0619-9513



hereby irrevocably waived, other than with respect to (i) the rights of Parent (A) to injunctive, provisional and equitable relief, including Parent’s right to pursue specific performance hereunder in accordance with Section 10.17, (B) with respect to any Adjustment Amount subject to and in accordance with Section 2.6, (C) to enforce this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the limitations set forth herein and therein, and (D) to recover from the Retention Escrow Account in accordance with Section 10.2, and (ii) claims for Fraud.
(c)Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Parent Related Parties may not avoid the limitation on liability described in Section 10.1(a) by (i) seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.1(a) or (ii) asserting or threatening any claim against any Person that is not a party hereto (or a successor to a party hereto) for breaches of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.
(d)Nothing in this Section 10.1 will limit any claim by any Party hereto for Fraud.
1.2Recovery under R&W Policy; Retention Escrow Distribution.
(a)Other than in the case of Fraud, the sole source of recovery of Parent for any monetary Losses resulting from (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered in connection herewith or (ii) Company Pre-Closing Taxes (to the extent not taken into account in determining adjustments to the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6) shall be the R&W Policy; provided, that in the case of Fraud, to the extent that the limit of liability under the R&W Policy has not been exhausted, Parent shall first use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under the R&W Policy before seeking recovery directly from the applicable Equityholders with respect to Losses resulting from such Fraud. With respect to any claims made under the R&W Policy, the Retention Amount (if applicable) shall be satisfied on a 50/50 basis by Parent and by release of funds from the Retention Escrow Account to Parent, such that $.50 of every $1.00 of the Retention Amount will be satisfied by release of funds from the Retention Escrow Account to Parent and the other $.50 will be paid by Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.2 shall not (A) limit the Parties’ remedies with respect to claims for Fraud (except for the obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to first recover against the R&W Policy as stated above and except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 10.2(a)), or (B) limit the rights of the Parties to injunctive or equitable relief or specific performance in accordance with this Agreement as expressly specified herein or as may be available with respect to any other Transaction Document. Each Equityholder acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible, on a several and not joint basis, for any Losses against, relating to, imposed upon, suffered by, or incurred by a Parent Indemnitee, directly or indirectly, (y) on a pro rata basis (based on such Equityholder’s Allocable Share) as a result of, arising from or relating to any Fraud by the Company, and (z) as a result of, arising from or relating to any Fraud by such Equityholder; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Equityholder shall be responsible for any Losses in excess of the portion of the Merger Consideration actually received by such Equityholder (net of any payments made by such Equityholder pursuant to this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 2.6).
(b)On the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Retention Escrow Release Date”), Parent and the Equityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release all funds in the Retention Escrow Account (to the extent any amount remains after taking into account any amounts previously disbursed to Parent in accordance with Section 10.2(a) and the terms of the Escrow Agreement) to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Former Holders in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, except that the Escrow Agent shall retain an amount (up to the total amount then remaining in the Retention Escrow Account) equal to the amount of any claims asserted by Parent prior to the Retention Escrow Release Date (i) that are not yet resolved or (ii) that are resolved but with respect to which the Losses have not been paid to the applicable Parent Indemnitee (“Unresolved Claims”). The portion of the Retention Escrow Amount retained for Unresolved Claims shall be released by the Escrow Agent to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Former Holders (to the extent not utilized to pay any Parent Indemnitee for any Unresolved Claims resolved in favor of such Parent Indemnitee) upon their resolution in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, after all funds remaining in the Retention Escrow Account are released to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Former Holders in accordance with this Section 10.2(b), Parent shall be solely responsible for paying any
54
4892-0619-9513



remaining portion of the Retention Amount before recovering from the R&W Policy, except in the case of Fraud.
(c)Except in the case of (i) the determination and payment of the Adjustment Amount (which shall be governed by Section 2.6), (ii) actions for specific performance pursuant to Section 10.17, and (iii) Fraud, the recoveries provided in this Section 10.2 shall constitute the sole and exclusive recourse and remedy of the Parent Indemnitees from and after the Closing for recovery of Losses or other monetary losses against the Company or the Former Holders in connection with this Agreement, resulting from or relating to any breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Equityholder shall be responsible for any Losses of a Parent Indemnitee based upon or relating to another Equityholder’s breach of a covenant set forth in this Agreement.
1.3Reasonable Efforts; Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, deeds, bills of sale, assignment or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm or record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party to this Agreement after the Effective Time shall act in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, required under Applicable Laws in order to give effect to the transactions contemplated herein as expeditiously as reasonably practicable.
1.4Amendment and Modification. At any time prior to the Closing, this Agreement may be amended or modified only in a writing signed by Parent, on the one hand, and the Company and the Equityholder Representative, on the other hand. After the Closing, this Agreement may be amended or modified only in a writing signed by Parent, on the one hand, and the Equityholder Representative, on the other hand.
1.5Waiver of Compliance. Any failure of Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company (prior to Closing) or the Equityholder Representative (after the Closing), on the other hand, to comply with any obligation, covenant or agreement contained herein may be waived only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound by such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant or agreement shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other failure.
1.6Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, incapable of being enforced or prohibited by any Applicable Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Governmental Entity making such determination is authorized and instructed to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
1.7Expenses and Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement will bear all fees and expenses incurred by such party in connection with, relating to or arising out of the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, including financial advisors’, attorneys’, accountants’ and other professional fees and expenses.
1.8Parties in Interest. This Agreement will inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their successors and assigns, and, except as set forth in Section 10.20, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

1.11Time. Time is of the essence in each and every provision of this Agreement.
1.12Entire Agreement. This Agreement (which term shall be deemed to include the exhibits and schedules hereto and the other certificates, documents and instruments delivered hereunder), the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements, letters of intent, term sheets and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement.

Except for filings or statements made or press releases issued (a) pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; (b) pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market; (c) in connection with the Parent Financing Transaction or (d) as otherwise required by law, neither the Company nor the Equityholders will, and will cause AXOM not to, issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein without the express prior written approval of Parent.
1.14Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any Party (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties and any attempted assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void ab initio; provided, however, that Parent may assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of Parent now in, or hereinafter to come into, existence (provided that such assignment shall not relieve Parent of its obligations hereunder). Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Parent shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.
1.15Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice of laws principles. Each Party irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement brought by any other Party or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (together with the appellate courts thereof, the “Chosen Courts”), and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in the Chosen Courts, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any Chosen Court. Each Party further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process, and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such Chosen Courts or from any legal process commenced in such Chosen Courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such Chosen Courts is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such Chosen Courts.

1.16Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE, IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE SUCH WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.16.
1.17Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other Parties, for which such Parties will not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the obligations of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub under this Agreement, including the obligation to consummate the Merger, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith.
