AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

                This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 25, 2018, by and among Bio-Techne Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“Parent”), Enzo Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Exosome Diagnostics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the Securityholders’ Representative. Certain other capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A. Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, and the Securityholders’ Representative are occasionally referred to herein as the “parties.”

RECITALS

Whereas, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger (as that term is defined in the DGCL) whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company in accordance with this Agreement and the DGCL (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and the Company will become a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent;

Whereas, the respective boards of directors of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective shareholders that the parties consummate the Contemplated Transactions, upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein; and

Whereas, Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions.

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.        Description of Transaction.

1.1.     The Merger; Effective Time; Closing; Surviving Corporation.

(a)     Merger of Merger Sub into the Company. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined below), Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease. The Company will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). The Merger will have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

(b)     Effective Time. As soon as practicable on the Closing Date, and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Parent will cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Merger in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (collectively, the “Certificate of Merger”). The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such other time as Parent and the Company agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

(c)     Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Closing contained in Section 6, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place as soon as practicable (but not later than three Business Days) after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Closing contained in Section 6 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions), unless another date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto (other than the Securityholders’ Representative). The date on which the Closing actually occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.” All proceedings to be taken, all documents to be executed and delivered by the parties, and all payments to be made and consideration to be delivered at the Closing will be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously.

(ii)     At the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of the Company and Merger Sub, the bylaws of the Company will be amended and restated so as to read in their entirety as the bylaws of Merger Sub, and, as so amended and restated, will be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirements.

(iii)     Effective as of, and immediately following, the Effective Time, the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation will consist solely of the members of the board of directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office until the earlier of his or her resignation, removal or death or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, as the case may be, in accordance with the Company Charter and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and applicable Legal Requirements.

(iv)     Effective as of, and immediately following, the Effective Time, the only officers of the Surviving Corporation will be the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a form of spreadsheet (the “Consideration Spreadsheet”), which will provide for the following types of information: (a) the names of all Company Securityholders and their respective addresses and e-mail addresses (and such other information as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) as reflected in the records of the Company; (b) the amount and type of each Company Security held by each such Company Securityholder, and the correct certificate number (or other identifying number) with respect to each such Company Security; (c) the amount of the Closing Cash Consideration payable to each Company Securityholder in connection with the Closing; (d) the Pro Rata Portion of each Company Securityholder; (e) the manner in which any distribution of the Indemnity Escrow Amount and WC Escrow Amount will be distributed among the Company Securityholders if not in accordance with the Pro Rata Portion, and the manner in which each such distribution will be calculated; (f) the amount of Specified Transaction Expenses (including an itemized list of each such Specified Transaction Expense indicating the general nature of such expense (e.g., legal, accounting, etc.), and the Person to whom such expense is owed) and the wire transfer information of each such Person; (g) the Company Debt Payoff Amount, along with a breakdown by lender of the amount of Company Debt and, for Company Funded Debt, the wire transfer information of each lender; (h) the aggregate amount of Company Change in Control Payments, along with a breakdown by Person entitled to receive such payment; (i) the Aggregate Company Option Exercise Price Amount, the Aggregate Withholding Option Payment Amount, the Aggregate Non-Withholding Option Payment Amount, the Aggregate Company Warrant Exercise Price Amount, and the Aggregate Company Warrant Payment Amount, each as of the Closing; (j) the Indemnity Escrow Amount; (k) the WC Escrow Amount; and (l) the Securityholders’ Representative Amount.

(c)     Closing Consideration Spreadsheet. The Company will prepare and deliver to Parent, no less than three Business Days prior to the Closing, a Consideration Spreadsheet with all required information estimated as of the Closing (the “Closing Consideration Spreadsheet”); provided, that the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet may be updated by the Company to reflect reasonable adjustments to the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital and/or the Estimated Company Cash at any time prior to the Closing as contemplated by Section 1.5(a) without delaying the Closing Date. In no event will the aggregate amount payable by Parent set forth on the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet, or any update thereto, exceed the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration, as adjusted by the Final Adjustment Amount.

(d)     Updated Consideration Spreadsheets. Promptly following reasonable notice from Parent in connection with (i) any scheduled distribution of any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the WC Escrow Fund or the Securityholders’ Representative Amount to the Company Securityholders, (ii) payment of any Payable Adjustment payable to the Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 1.5(d), or (iii) payment of any Earn-out Payments to the Company Securityholders, the Securityholders’ Representative will deliver to Parent (and to the Paying Agent and Escrow Agent, as appropriate) an updated Consideration Spreadsheet that reflects such contemplated distributions of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the WC Escrow Fund or the Securityholders’ Representative Amount, any Payable Adjustment payable to the Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 1.5(d), or payment of any Earn-out Payments to Company Securityholders (and Moelis & Company for any Moelis Delayed Fee).

(e)     Accuracy of Consideration Spreadsheets. The Closing Consideration Spreadsheet is the sole responsibility of the Company, and each updated Consideration Spreadsheet is the sole responsibility of the Securityholders’ Representative, and the Company and the Securityholders’ Representative hereby agree that neither Parent, nor any of Parent’s Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation following the Closing), will have any responsibility or liability for any errors, omissions or inaccuracies therein. Parent, its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation following the Closing), and Paying Agent will be entitled to rely on the accuracy of the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet, and any updated Consideration Spreadsheet in all respects, and Parent’s obligation to make any payments pursuant to this Section 1 will be deemed fulfilled to the extent that Parent makes such payments in accordance with the foregoing.

(f)     Indemnity Escrow Amount; WC Escrow Amount. At the Closing, (i) an amount in cash equal to $25,000,000 of the Closing Merger Consideration (the “Indemnity Escrow Amount”) will be withheld and deposited by Parent in a separate account (the “Indemnity Escrow Account” and the amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account, inclusive of any interest, dividends, distributions or other amounts earned thereon from time to time, the “Indemnity Escrow Fund”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”) and (ii) an amount in cash equal to $500,000 of the Closing Merger Consideration (the “WC Escrow Amount”) will be withheld and deposited by Parent in a separate account (the “WC Escrow Account” and the amount in the WC Escrow Account, inclusive of any interest, dividends, distributions or other amounts earned thereon from time to time, the “WC Escrow Fund”) with the Escrow Agent. The Indemnity Escrow Amount and the WC Escrow Amount will be held and distributed as provided in the Escrow Agreement and as described herein. The Indemnity Escrow Amount and the WC Escrow Amount will be held solely for the purpose of securing the post-Closing obligations of the Company Securityholders expressly set forth in this Agreement. Subject to a reserve to the extent of any pending claims determined in accordance with Section 8.1(e)(ix), the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement will provide for (i) a partial release of an amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account on the 15-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Preliminary Escrow Release Date”) such that the Indemnity Escrow Fund is equal to the lesser of (A) the then current Indemnity Escrow Fund balance and (B) $10,000,000 plus an amount equal to all unresolved claims on the Preliminary Escrow Release Date, and (ii) a final release of the Indemnity Escrow Account on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Final Escrow Release Date”); provided, however, that no amounts subject to unresolved claims will be released until such claims are resolved in accordance with Section 8.1(e)(ix). The Escrow Agreement will also provide for the release of amounts in the WC Escrow Account as provided for in Section 1.5(d). Any release and payment of amounts remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account or the WC Escrow Account to Company Securityholders will be made in accordance with the Consideration Spreadsheet, as updated in accordance with this Agreement. All fees, costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent with respect to the Indemnity Escrow Account, the WC Escrow Account, and of the Paying Agent with respect to the Exchange Fund will be paid 50% by the Company Securityholders (which amount will be a Specified Transaction Expense) and 50% by Parent. The Indemnity Escrow Amount and the WC Escrow Amount will be held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. The Indemnity Escrow Amount and the WC Escrow Amount will be held as a trust fund and will not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and will be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Receipt of the Required Stockholder Approval will constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and all of the arrangements contemplated thereby, including the placement of the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the WC Escrow Amount in escrow.

(g)     Securityholders’ Representative Amount. At the Closing, an amount in cash equal to $500,000 of the Closing Merger Consideration (the “Securityholders’ Representative Amount”) will be deposited by Parent in an account designated in writing by the Securityholders’ Representative to Parent no less than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Securityholders’ Representative Account”). The Company Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Securityholders’ Representative Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Securityholders’ Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Securityholders’ Representative Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholders’ Representative will hold the Securityholders Representative Amount separate from its corporate funds, will not use the Securityholders’ Representative Amount for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes, and will not voluntarily make the Securityholders’ Representative Amount available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Securityholders’ Representative’s responsibilities, the Securityholders’ Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Securityholders’ Representative Amount to the Paying Agent (or the Surviving Corporation in respect of Withholding Options) for further distribution to the Company Securityholders (in accordance with an updated Consideration Spreadsheet). For tax purposes, the Securityholders’ Representative Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Securityholders at the time of Closing.

(h)     Deemed Liquidation Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the merger consideration payable by Parent hereunder shall be allocated among the Company Securityholders to give effect to subsections 2.1 and 2.2 of the Certificate of Incorporation, after taking into account the determination of the board of directors of the Company as provided for in Section 2.3.4 of the Certificate of Incorporation, and the Company (with respect to the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet) and the Securityholders’ Representative (with respect to each other Consideration Spreadsheet) shall calculate each and every Consideration Spreadsheet in accordance therewith and this Agreement.

1.5.        Closing Date Adjustment.

(a)     The Company will deliver to Parent the Company’s good-faith estimate of (i) the Closing Date Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”) and a good-faith estimate of the corresponding Adjustment Amount and (ii) the Company Cash (the “Estimated Company Cash”) no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement”). Such estimates will be based on the Company’s books and records, the good faith estimate of the management of the Company and other information then available. Parent will have the right to review the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement and such supporting documentation or data of the Company as Parent may reasonably request. If Parent does not agree with the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, the Company and Parent will negotiate in good faith to mutually agree on an acceptable Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital and Estimated Company Cash, and the Company will consider in good faith any proposed comments or changes that Parent may reasonably suggest; provided, however, that the failure to include in the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital and/or the Estimated Company Cash any comments or changes proposed by Parent, or the acceptance by Parent of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, or the consummation of the Closing, will not limit or otherwise affect Parent’s remedies under this Agreement, including Parent’s right to include such changes or other changes in the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, or constitute an acknowledgment by Parent of the accuracy of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital and/or Estimated Company Cash; provided, further, that the failure of Parent and the Company to reach such mutual agreement will not give any party the right to terminate this Agreement, delay or prevent the Closing, or otherwise fail to close the Contemplated Transactions, and the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital and/or the Estimated Company Cash (i) delivered by the Company or (ii) as agreed to by the Company and Parent will be the figures used for purposes of determining the Estimated Adjustment Amount and the Closing Merger Consideration.

(b)     The Adjustment Amount used for the calculation of the Closing Merger Consideration on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Adjustment Amount”) will be based on the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital. Parent and the Company acknowledge and agree that the exact Adjustment Amount and Company Cash may not be known as of the Closing Date and that the Adjustment Amount and Company Cash determined on the Closing Date may need to be adjusted subsequent to the Closing Date on the basis set forth herein. Accordingly, no later than 120 days after the Closing Date, Parent will prepare and deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative (i) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) prepared in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner consistent with the Company Balance Sheet, (ii) a determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital and the Company Cash, and (iii) a statement setting forth the determination of the resulting Adjustment Amount and the Company Cash (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement”), which will be accompanied by a description in reasonable detail of Parent’s differences with the Company’s determination of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital and/or the Estimated Company Cash. If Parent fails to deliver the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement within 120 days after the Closing Date, then, at the Securityholders’ Representative’s election or absent manifest error or fraud, the Adjustment Amount, the Closing Date Net Working Capital, and the Company Cash will be deemed to be the Estimated Adjustment Amount, the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, and the Estimated Company Cash, respectively, as set forth in the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, and such amounts will be final and binding on the parties hereto and the Indemnified Persons for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c)     The Securityholders’ Representative and Parent will have the right to review all records, work papers and calculations that are reasonably necessary for the purpose of reviewing the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement. The Securityholders’ Representative will have 45 days after Parent delivers the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement and all of the aforementioned requested records, work papers and calculations in which to notify Parent in writing (such notice, a “Closing Date Net Working Capital Dispute Notice”) of any discrepancy in, or disagreement with, the items reflected on the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement (and specifying the amount in dispute and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such discrepancy or disagreement), and upon agreement by Parent regarding the adjustment requested by the Securityholders’ Representative, an appropriate adjustment will be made thereto. If the Securityholders’ Representative does not deliver a Closing Date Net Working Capital Dispute Notice to Parent during such 45 day period, the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement will be deemed to be accepted in the form presented to the Securityholders’ Representative. If the Securityholders’ Representative timely delivers a Closing Date Net Working Capital Dispute Notice and Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative do not agree, within 15 days after timely delivery of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Dispute Notice, to resolve any discrepancy or disagreement therein, the discrepancy or disagreement will be submitted for review and final determination by the Independent Accounting Firm. The review by the Independent Accounting Firm will be limited to the discrepancies and disagreements set forth in the Closing Date Net Working Capital Dispute Notice, and the resolution of such discrepancies and disagreements and the determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital and the resulting Adjustment Amount and Company Cash by the Independent Accounting Firm must be (i) in writing, (ii) made in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner consistent with the Company Balance Sheet, (iii) with respect to any specific discrepancy or disagreement, no greater than the higher amount calculated by Parent or the Securityholders’ Representative, as the case may be, and no lower than the lower amount calculated by Parent or the Securityholders’ Representative as the case may be, (iv) made as promptly as practical after the submission of such discrepancies and disagreements to the Independent Accounting Firm (but in no event later than 30 days after the date of submission), and (v) final and binding upon, and non-appealable by, the parties hereto, the Indemnified Persons and their respective successors and assigns for all purposes hereof, and not subject to collateral attack for any reason absent manifest error or fraud. The fees, costs and expenses of retaining the Independent Accounting Firm will be allocated between the Company Securityholders (which amount shall be funded first from the WC Escrow Fund and, if the WC Escrow Fund is exhausted, second from the Indemnity Escrow Fund) and Parent in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportion will be based on the amounts proposed by the Securityholders’ Representative and Parent and determined by the Independent Accounting Firm. Following the resolution of all objections of the Securityholders’ Representative regarding the manner in which any item or items are treated on the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, by mutual agreement or Independent Accounting Firm, Parent will prepare the final Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement reflecting such resolution and will deliver copies thereof to the Securityholders’ Representative and such final Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement will be the “Final Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement,” and, for the avoidance of doubt, the final Adjustment Amount set forth in the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement will be the “Final Adjustment Amount” and the final Company Cash set forth in the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement will be the “Final Company Cash”. The “Payable Adjustment” means the amount equal to (a) the Final Adjustment Amount minus the Estimated Adjustment Amount, plus (b) the Final Company Cash minus the Estimated Company Cash.

(d)     If the Payable Adjustment is positive, then, within five Business Days of the final determination of the Payable Adjustment, Parent will deposit the Payable Adjustment and the Escrow Agent will deposit the then-current balance of the WC Escrow Fund, in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (i) with the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Company Stockholders, Company Warrantholders and former holders of Non-Withholding Options and (ii) with the Surviving Corporation for further distribution to the former holders of Withholding Options through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system in accordance with Section 1.13(d), with the amount of such distribution to the Company Securityholders to be in accordance with an updated Consideration Spreadsheet prepared by the Securityholders’ Representative. If the Payable Adjustment is negative, then, within five Business Days of the final determination of the Payable Adjustment, Parent will receive the absolute value of the Payable Adjustment by wire transfer of immediately available funds first out of the WC Escrow Fund, and if the WC Escrow Fund is exhausted, second from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, and any remaining available funds in the WC Escrow Fund will be deposited by the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) with the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Company Stockholders, the Company Warrantholders, and former holders of Non-Withholding Options and (ii) with the Surviving Corporation for further distribution to the former holders of Withholding Options through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system in accordance with Section 1.13(d), with the amount of such distribution to the Company Securityholders to be in accordance with an updated Consideration Spreadsheet prepared by the Securityholders’ Representative.

(e)     Except for fraud committed by one of the parties hereto, the process set forth in this Section 1.5 shall be the exclusive remedy of Parent and the Indemnified Persons for disputes related to the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Closing Date Working Capital Statement, the Closing Date Net Working Capital Dispute Notice, and any amounts set forth therein, and no Person shall have any right to seek Damages pursuant to Section 8 for matters contemplated or covered by this Section 1.5.

1.6.        Earn-out Payments.

(a)     In addition to the Closing Merger Consideration, Parent will pay an additional aggregate amount up to $325,000,000 (the “Earn-out Amount”) as determined in accordance with Schedule 1.6. The Earn-out Amount shall be payable in accordance with one or more Consideration Spreadsheets delivered by the Securityholders Representative. Any Moelis Delayed Fee that becomes due as a result of any Earn-out Payment hereunder shall only be deemed a Specified Transaction Expense at the time such Earn-out Payment is paid to the Company Securityholders, and Parent shall make such payment to Moelis & Company out of the applicable Earn-out Payment in accordance with the amount set forth in an updated Consideration Spreadsheet delivered by the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with the payment of such Earn-out Payment.

(b)     With respect to that portion of each Earn-out Payment payable to the Company Securityholders in respect of the Company Shares, the Company Warrants and the Non-Withholding Options, no more than 30 days after the applicable Earn-out Payment Date, Parent will deposit, or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the benefit of and distribution to such Company Securityholders within three Business Days thereafter, that portion of such Earn-out Payment payable to such Company Securityholders in respect of the Company Shares, the Company Warrants and the Non-Withholding Options, in each case as set forth in the updated Consideration Spreadsheet.

(c)     With respect to that portion of each Earn-Out Amount payable to the Company Securityholders in respect of the Withholding Options, no more than 30 days after the applicable Earn-out Payment Date, Parent will deliver cash in an amount equal to the portion of such Earn-out Payment payable to Company Securityholders in respect of such Withholding Options to the Surviving Corporation, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for further distribution to such Company Securityholders through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system in accordance with Section 1.13(d) no later than the first regular payroll date occurring at least three Business Days after such Earn-out Payment Date, in each case as set forth in the updated Consideration Spreadsheet.

(d)     Other than with respect to any Damages arising from any breach of, or inaccuracy in, Section 2.14, Parent will have the right to offset any Damages finally determined pursuant to the procedures and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 to be owed to Indemnified Persons, subject to the limitations contained in Section 8, against any Earn-out Payment (or any portion thereof) or portion of the Rollover Amount owed under this Section 1.6.

1.7.        Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, recording and other similar fees payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”) will be paid 50% by the Company Securityholders (which amount shall be treated exclusively as a Specified Transaction Expense hereunder) and 50% by Parent. The party required to do so under applicable Legal Requirements shall prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and provide the other parties with a complete and correct copy thereof.

1.8.        Treatment of Company Securities.

(a)     Conversion. At and as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any Company Securityholder, each Company Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Parent, and paid promptly (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days following the later to occur of (x) the surrender of the certificate representing such Company Share (each, a “Company Stock Certificate”) (or Lost Stock Affidavit) and a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and (y) the Effective Time), the consideration set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet, as updated in accordance with this Section 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no consideration will be paid with respect to any Company Share held in treasury of the Company and each Company Share owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) each Dissenting Share will be converted into the right to receive payment from the Surviving Corporation with respect thereto in accordance with the DGCL. For purposes of calculating the amount of the Closing Merger Consideration payable to each Company Securityholder pursuant to this Section 1, all amounts payable in cash to such Company Securityholder will be aggregated and rounded up to the nearest whole cent (with $0.005 being rounded upward) and computed after aggregating the amounts payable for all shares of each class of Company Shares held by such Company Securityholder. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Company Shares, Company Warrants and Company Options will cease to have any rights with respect to the Company Shares and Company Options represented thereby, other than the right to receive the amounts provided in this Section 1 or, with respect to the holders of Company Shares who properly perfect such Company Securityholders’ appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, the right to exercise their appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL.

(b)     Each share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, and, as of the Effective Time, all such shares will constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares will remain outstanding and evidence ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.9.        Surrender of Company Stock Certificates.

(a)     At the Effective Time, holders of Company Stock Certificates representing the Company Shares will cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company, and the stock transfer books of the Company will be closed with respect to all shares of such capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Company Shares will be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid Company Stock Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate will be canceled and will be exchanged as provided in this Section 1.9.

(b)     Prior to the Closing, the Company will deliver to each Company Stockholder a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”). At least two Business Days, but not more than five Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company will deliver to Parent properly completed and duly executed Letters of Transmittal, effective as of the Effective Time and executed by Company Stockholders holding no less than 90% of the voting power of the Company Shares as of the Closing (including each of the ten largest holders of Company Shares as of the Closing (it being agreed that for the purposes of such calculation each “holder of Company Shares” shall be determined by aggregating all Company shares held by all Affiliates of such holder)), together with the appropriate Company Stock Certificate (or a Lost Stock Affidavit in lieu thereof). Following the Effective Time, the holder of a Company Stock Certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor payment of an amount equal to the applicable amount set forth on the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet, and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered will be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.9, each Company Stock Certificate will be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender an amount equal to the applicable amount set forth on the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet. If any Company Stock Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate may provide (in lieu of such Company Stock Certificate) a customary affidavit as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate (a “Lost Stock Affidavit”); provided, however, that the owner of any such Company Stock Certificate will not be required to deliver a bond.

(c)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Securityholders’ Representative, the Paying Agent, or the Escrow Agent will be liable to any Company Securityholder for any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirement. Any Aggregate Merger Consideration remaining undistributed to Company Securityholders immediately prior to such time as such Aggregate Merger Consideration payable to the Company Securityholders pursuant to this Section 1 would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority will, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

1.10.       Dissenting Shares.

(a)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any shares of capital stock of the Company that, as of the Effective Time, are held by a Company Stockholder exercising such Company Stockholder’s right to demand appraisal in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into or represent the right to receive payment in accordance with Sections 1.8 and 1.9, and such Company Stockholders will be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such Company Stockholders in Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if such Company Stockholder’s right of appraisal is not perfected, or if such Company Stockholder’s demand for payment is withdrawn pursuant to Section 262(k) of the DGCL, as of the later of the Effective Time or the time of the failure to perfect such status or the withdrawal of such demand, such shares will automatically be converted into and will represent only the right to receive (upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares) payment in accordance with Sections 1.8 and 1.9.

(b)     The Company will (i) give Parent prompt written notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and of any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, and (ii) give Parent the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand. The Company will not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand unless Parent has consented in writing to such payment or settlement offer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

1.11.     Withholding Rights. Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent and the Escrow Agent, as applicable, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Company Securityholder such amounts as Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law; provided, that other than with respect to amounts paid as a bonus or in respect of Withholding Options or amounts related to a failure to provide the deliverable described in Section 1.3(b)(ix), Parent shall give the applicable Company Securityholder reasonable prior written notice of any intention to so withhold and the parties shall cooperate in good faith to take any necessary steps to minimize or eliminate any such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company Securityholder in respect of which such withholding and payment was made.

1.12.     Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the former holders of Company Securities (other than the Withholding Options) six months following the final Earn-out Payment Date will, upon demand by Parent, be delivered to Parent, and any former holder of such Company Securities who has not previously complied with the document delivery provisions of this Section 1 will be entitled, after complying with such provisions of this Section 1, and subject to any escheat or similar laws, to receive from Parent payment of the applicable portion of such undistributed amount with respect to such Company Securities.

1.13.      Treatment of Company Options .

(a)     Company Options will not be continued, assumed or substituted by the Surviving Corporation or Parent as part of the Merger. Prior to the Closing, the Company’s board of directors will adopt appropriate resolutions and will take all other actions necessary and appropriate to cause each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, to become fully vested and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Option Termination Agreements) a cash payment with respect thereto equal to the amount set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet, as updated in accordance with this Section 1, less any applicable withholding Taxes.

(b)     As of the Effective Time, all Company Options will become fully vested, cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted in exchange for such cancellation and extinguishment into the right to receive (i) promptly after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock for which such Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the difference between the per share amount of the Closing Cash Consideration payable in respect of a share of Company Common Stock minus the per share exercise price of such Company Option, (ii) a per Company Share amount of the release of any Indemnity Escrow Amount, any WC Escrow Amount or any Securityholders’ Representative Amount, (iii) a per Company Share amount of the Payable Adjustment payable to Company Securityholders, and (iv) the portion of each Earn-out Payment, if any, payable with respect to such Company Option in the manner provided in Section 1.6.

(c)     As a condition to payment of any Aggregate Merger Consideration to any holder of Company Options in respect of such holder’s Company Options, such holder will be required to sign a termination agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (in respect of Withholding Options) or Exhibit C-2 (in respect of Non-withholding Options) (an “Option Termination Agreement”).

(d)     In accordance with this Agreement and the Option Termination Agreements: (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable in the ordinary course of business following the date that any portion of any amount payable hereunder becomes due (and, with respect to payments made as of the Closing, if any, no later than the first regular payroll date occurring at least three Business Days following the later to occur of (x) the execution and delivery of an Option Termination Agreement, and (y) the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation, through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, will pay to the former holders of Withholding Options such amounts as such holders will be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.13 in respect of such Withholding Options, reduced by applicable withholding Taxes; and (ii) within three (3) Business Days following the later to occur of (x) the execution and delivery of an Option Termination Agreement, and (y) the Effective Time, the Paying Agent will pay to the former holders of Non-Withholding Options such amounts as such holders will be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.13 in respect of such Non-Withholdings Options.

(e)     In accordance with Section 1.15 below, any portion of the proceeds payable with respect to any Withholding Option that is held in the Indemnity Escrow Account will be subject to withholding for income and employment Taxes at such time as the amounts are paid to the former holders of such Company Options. Any portion of any Earn-out Payment that becomes payable with respect to any Withholding Option will be subject to withholding for income and employment Taxes as of the applicable Earn-out Payment Date.

1.14.      Securityholders’ Representative.

(a)     By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of the Merger and the consummation of the Merger or participating in the Merger and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Merger, each Company Securityholder hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Shareholder Representative Services LLC as his, her or its sole, exclusive, true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact following the Closing (the “Securityholders’ Representative”), with full power of substitution to act in such Company Securityholder’s name, place and stead with respect to all transactions contemplated by and all terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement following the Closing, and to act on such Company Securityholder’s behalf in any dispute, litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement following the Closing, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and execute all such documents, on such Company Securityholder’s behalf, as the Securityholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement following the Closing, including the power: (i) to execute and deliver this Agreement and any and all amendments, waivers or modifications hereof; (ii) to waive any condition to the obligations of such Company Securityholder to consummate the Contemplated Transactions; (iii) to execute and deliver all ancillary agreements, certificates and documents, and to make representations and warranties therein, on behalf of such Company Securityholder that the Securityholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; (iv) to direct the Paying Agent or Escrow Agent to distribute (after payment of (A) any unpaid expenses chargeable to the Company Securityholders or the Company prior to the Closing in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and (B) amounts payable by the Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 1.5), all amounts payable to such Company Securityholder under the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; (v) with respect to any claims for indemnification made by an Indemnified Person hereunder, agree to, object to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand litigation of and comply with orders and awards of courts with respect to such claims; and (vi) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of such Company Securityholder as is assigned, delegated or charged to the Securityholders’ Representative or that the Securityholders’ Representative otherwise deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement, as fully and completely as such Company Securityholder could do if personally present. All such actions set forth or described in this Section 1.14(a) will be deemed to be facts ascertainable outside this Agreement and will be binding on the Company Securityholders.

(b)     The appointment of the Securityholders’ Representative is deemed coupled with an interest and will be irrevocable, and Parent, its Affiliates and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Securityholders’ Representative on behalf of the Company Securityholders in all matters referred to herein. All notices delivered by Parent or the Company (following the Closing) to the Securityholders’ Representative (whether pursuant hereto or otherwise) for the benefit of the Company Securityholders will constitute notice to the Company Securityholders. The Securityholders’ Representative will act for the Company Securityholders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Securityholders’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Company Securityholders as a whole and consistent with its obligations under this Agreement, but the Securityholders’ Representative will not be responsible to the Company Securityholders for any loss or damages it or they may suffer by reason of the performance by the Securityholders’ Representative of its duties under this Agreement, other than loss or damage arising from fraud by the Securityholders’ Representative.

(c)     If the Securityholders’ Representative resigns or is otherwise similarly unable to carry out its duties hereunder, then the Company Securityholders with an aggregate Pro Rata Portion (as calculated as of Closing) of at least 50.1% (the “Requisite Company Securityholders”) will, within five Business Days, appoint a new Securityholders’ Representative. The Requisite Company Securityholders may at any time, for any reason or no reason, remove the Securityholders’ Representative. If at any time there is not a Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Securityholders fail to designate in writing a successor Securityholders’ Representative within five Business Days after receipt of a written request delivered by Parent to the Requisite Company Securityholders requesting that a successor Securityholders’ Representative be designated in writing, then Parent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a new Securityholders’ Representative hereunder.

(d)     All actions, decisions and instructions of the Securityholders’ Representative taken, made or given pursuant to the authority granted to the Securityholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 1.14 will be conclusive and binding upon each Company Securityholder, and no Company Securityholder will have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of the principal terms of the Merger and the consummation of the Merger or participating in the Merger and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Merger, each Company Securityholder will be deemed to have approved, confirmed and ratified any action taken by the Securityholders’ Representative in the exercise of the power-of-attorney granted to the Securityholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 1.14(d), which power-of-attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and will survive the death, incapacity or incompetence of each such Company Securityholder.

(e)     The Securityholders’ Representative will not be liable to the Company Securityholders for any act done or omitted in connection with the Securityholders’ Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto unless caused by fraud by the Securityholders’ Representative. The Securityholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Securityholders’ Representative will not have any fiduciary, agency or other duties to the Company Securityholders and its only obligations will be as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Securityholders’ Representative is serving in that capacity solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not liable for any of the obligations of the Company Securityholders hereunder, and Parent and the Company agree that they will not look to the underlying assets of the Securityholders’ Representative for the satisfaction of any obligations of the Company Securityholders (or any of them). The Company Securityholders will severally, in accordance with each such Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion (and not jointly) indemnify and defend the Securityholders’ Representative and hold the Securityholders’ Representative harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Securityholders’ Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, 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 directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholders’ Representative, the Securityholders’ Representative will reimburse the Company Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Securityholders’ Representative by the Company Securityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Securityholders’ Representative from (i) the funds in the Securityholders’ Representative Account, (ii) the amounts in the Indemnity Escrow Account at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Securityholders and not otherwise subject to a General Unresolved Claim, and (iii) from the Earn-out Amount at such time as any such amount would otherwise be distributable to the Company Securityholders; provided, that while this section allows the Securityholders’ Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Company Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Securityholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Securityholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Securityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of the Company Securityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Securityholders’ Representative under this section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Securityholders’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement. In the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty hereunder, the Securityholders’ Representative may, in its sole and reasonable discretion, refrain from taking any action, unless the Securityholders’ Representative receives written instructions, signed by the Requisite Company Securityholders, that eliminate such ambiguity or uncertainty.

(f)     If (i) the Securityholders’ Representative elects (1) to assume and control the defense and/or management of any Third Party Claim at the expense of Company Securityholders in accordance with Section 8.1(f) hereof or (2) to take any other action under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement that may require the payment of amounts out of the Securityholders’ Representative Amount, including for any attorneys, accountants, auditors or other advisors, and (ii) the Securityholders’ Representative’s good faith estimate of the reasonable expenses to be incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with any such action exceeds the balance of the Securityholders’ Representative Amount, the Securityholders’ Representative may refrain from taking any such action until such time as the Securityholders’ Representative, upon seven days’ notice to the Company Securityholders, receives written commitments signed by the Requisite Company Securityholders for payment of such expenses, in which case all Company Securityholders will pay their Pro Rata Portion of such estimated expenses. Any such initial notice by the Securityholders’ Representative to the Company Securityholders will include a statement of the balance of the Securityholders’ Representative Amount, the good faith estimate of the reasonable expenses to be incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative, the amount by which the estimated expenses to be incurred exceed the balance of the Securityholders’ Representative Amount, and each Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of such excess expense amount. Each Company Securityholder will deliver its Pro Rata Portion of any excess expense amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds, using the wire instructions identified in any such initial notice, no later than ten days following the date on which the Securityholders’ Representative gives such Company Securityholder notice of the receipt of commitments signed by the Requisite Company Securityholders for payment of such excess expenses; provided, however, that no Company Securityholder will be required to make any payments, individually or in the aggregate, pursuant to this Section 1.14(f) in excess of the Aggregate Merger Consideration previously received by such Company Securityholder. Any amounts thus paid will increase the balance of the Securityholders’ Representative Amount. The Securityholders’ Representative may invest the Securityholders’ Representative Amount as it determines in its discretion.

1.15.      Tax Treatment. Absent a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, no party hereto shall take any action or filing position inconsistent with the following characterizations: (i) the portions of the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Earn-out Amount allocable to the Company Stockholders are intended to be treated as deferred contingent purchase price eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provision of non-U.S., state or local law, as appropriate, and (ii) the portions of the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Earn-out Amount allocable to Company Optionholders are not intended to be compensation or wages, or subject to withholding as such, unless and until such portions (or any part thereof) are actually distributed to Company Optionholders.

1.16.      Treatment of Company Warrants.

(a)     Company Warrants will not be continued, assumed or substituted by the Surviving Corporation or Parent as part of the Merger. Prior to the Closing, the Company’s board of directors will adopt appropriate resolutions and will take all other actions necessary and appropriate to cause each Company Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, to be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) a cash payment with respect thereto equal to the amount set forth below at the time(s) described herein. “In-the-Money Warrant” means a Company Warrant with an exercise price per share that is less than the aggregate per share amount of merger consideration paid (including for purposes of the calculation as of the Effective Time the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the WC Escrow Amount) to a share of Company Common Stock under this Agreement through the applicable date.

(b)     As of the Effective Time, (x) all In-the-Money Warrants as of the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i) promptly after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock for which such Company Warrant was vested immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the difference between the per share amount of the Closing Cash Consideration payable to a share of Company Common Stock minus the per share exercise price of such Company Warrant, (ii) a Pro Rata Portion of the release of any Indemnity Escrow Amount, any WC Escrow Amount or any Securityholders’ Representative Amount, (iii) a per Company Share amount of the Payable Adjustment payable to Company Securityholders, and (iv) the portion of each Earn-out Payment, if any, payable with respect to such Company Warrant in the manner provided in Section 1.6; and (y) all other Company Warrants that only become In-the-Money Warrants after the Effective Time will be cancelled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive an amount equal promptly after any such Company Warrant becomes an In-the-Money Warrant (the “Trigger Date”) to (i) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock for which such Company Warrant was vested immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the difference between the per share amount of merger consideration paid to a share of Company Common Stock under this Agreement through the Trigger Date minus the per share exercise price of such Company Warrant, and, without duplication to the amount payable pursuant to clause (y)(i) above, (ii) the portion of each Earn-out Payment, if any, payable with respect to such Company Warrant in the manner provided in Section 1.6.

(c)     In accordance with this Agreement and the Warrant Termination Agreements, as promptly as reasonably practicable in the ordinary course of business following the date that any amounts are payable hereunder to Company Warrantholders, Parent will deposit, or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent, cash in an amount equal to such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for further distribution by the Paying Agent to the Company Warrantholders in accordance with the updated Consideration Spreadsheet.

2.           Representations and Warranties Regarding the Company. Except as disclosed in a disclosure schedule of even date herewith delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub, as of the date hereof and, if and only if the Closing occurs, as of the Closing, that:

2.1.     Organization, Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing (if such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction), in each jurisdiction where the operation of the Company’s current business requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each jurisdiction where the Company is qualified to do business is set forth in Section 2.1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. The Company has posted in the Data Room true and correct copies of the Company Charter and bylaws of the Company, in each case as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

2.2.     Company Subsidiaries. With the exception of the Subsidiaries set forth in Section 2.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Company Subsidiaries”), the Company does not have any Subsidiaries. Each of the Company Subsidiaries is wholly owned by the Company, duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Each of the Company Subsidiaries is in good standing (if such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction), in each jurisdiction where the operation of such Company Subsidiary’s current business requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has posted in the Data Room true and correct copies of the organizational documents of each of the Company Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

2.3.     Power and Authority.

(a)     The Company has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party or signatory, for the Company to consummate the Closing and the Contemplated Transactions and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and all Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party or signatory, and the consummation by the Company of the Closing and the other Contemplated Transactions, including the Merger, have been duly authorized and approved by the Company’s board of directors, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, other than the Required Stockholder Approval, which will be solicited prior to Closing pursuant to Section 5.7. The Required Stockholder Approval is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of Company Shares necessary to approve this Agreement and approve the Contemplated Transactions (to the extent stockholder approval is required). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company, and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the other parties hereto, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity, regardless of whether asserted in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(b)     The Company’s board of directors has (i) determined that the Merger is advisable to and in the best interests of the Company Stockholders, (ii) approved this Agreement, including the Certificate of Merger, (iii) resolved to recommend the adoption of this Agreement to the Company Stockholders and to seek such adoption as described in Section 5.7, and (iv) taken reasonably necessary action to prevent the application of any “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “business combination,” “fair price” or other form of anti-takeover laws or regulations of any jurisdiction or any anti-takeover provisions in the Company Charter or the Company’s bylaws to the Company, the Merger, this Agreement, or the Contemplated Transactions.

2.4.     Capitalization.

The Company Securities constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity securities in the Company as of the date hereof. All outstanding Company Shares (a) are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, (b) are, to the Knowledge of the Company, free of any Encumbrances, and (c) were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal created by statute, the Company Charter or bylaws of the Company or any agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

Except for the Company Charter and the Company Equity Incentive Plan, and except as set forth in Section 2.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no contracts, commitments or agreements relating to the voting or the transfer of, or restrictions on or a requirement for the Company to purchase or sell, Company Shares (x) between or among the Company and any of the Company Securityholders; and (y) to the Knowledge of the Company, between or among any Company Securityholders.

(b)     All outstanding securities of the Company have been offered and issued in compliance with all applicable securities laws, including the Securities Act and all applicable “blue sky” laws. Any cancellation, re-grant or other re-pricing or amendment transaction, with respect to options or other rights to purchase Company Shares, was properly authorized and conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.

2.5.     Noncontravention. Subject to the Required Stockholder Approval and compliance with the HSR Act, and except as set forth in Section 2.5 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company does not constitute, and the consummation by the Company of the Contemplated Transactions will not (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) result in, (a) a breach or violation by the Company of, or a default by the Company under, any provision of the Company Charter or bylaws of the Company, as amended to date; (b) a termination, or breach or violation by the Company of, or an event of default by the Company or any Company Subsidiary under, or result in the loss of any benefit of the Company or any Company Subsidiary under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, increased payments or acceleration of a third party under, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance on any asset or property owned by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or require any consent of a third party under, any material Permit held by the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any Material Contract; or (c) a breach or violation by the Company or any Company Subsidiary of any Legal Requirement applicable to the Company, any Company Subsidiary, or any of its properties or assets. Other than as required to comply with the HSR Act, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by the Company in order for the Company to execute and deliver this Agreement or for the Company to consummate the Closing or the Contemplated Transactions, except the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

2.6.     Governmental Authorizations. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries have at all times maintained each material federal, state, county, local or foreign Governmental Authority consent, license, permit, grant, approval or other authorization (“Permits”) required for the operation by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries of their respective businesses, and all of such Permits obtained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries are in full force and effect.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub, and, assuming this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the other parties hereto, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity, regardless of whether asserted in a proceeding in equity or at law.

3.3.     Noncontravention.

3.4.     Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or similar fee or commission in connection with the Merger or the other Contemplated Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent or its Affiliates, except those for which Parent will be solely responsible.

3.5.     Financing. Parent will have at the Effective Time sufficient cash and currently-available funds on hand to enable it to pay the Closing Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Parent and Merger Sub understand and agree that they are acquiring the Company through the Merger in the condition the Company and the Company Subsidiaries are in at the Effective Time based upon Parent’s and Merger Sub’s own inspection, examination and determination of all matters related thereto, and without reliance upon any express (except those representations or warranties set forth in Section 2 hereof and in the Letters of Transmittal, Option Termination Agreements, and Warrant Termination Agreements delivered in connection with the Contemplated Transactions) or implied representations or warranties of any nature, whether in writing, orally or otherwise, made by or on behalf of or imputed to the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the Securityholders’ Representative or any Company Securityholder, or any representative thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 3.7 shall prevent or preclude Parent from asserting a claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation against the Company, any Company Subsidiary, or the Company Securityholders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries will not be required to disclose any information to Parent if such disclosure would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company: (i) jeopardize any attorney-client or other privilege, or (ii) contravene any applicable Legal Requirements, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, in each case so long as the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have reasonably cooperated with Parent to permit such inspection of, or to disclose such, information on a basis that does not jeopardize such privilege or contravene any such Legal Requirement, fiduciary duty, or binding agreement. No information received pursuant to an investigation made under this Section 5.1 will be deemed to (i) qualify, modify, waive, amend or otherwise affect any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements of the Company set forth in this Agreement or any certificate or other instrument delivered to Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) amend or otherwise supplement the information set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule, (iii) limit or restrict the remedies available to the parties under applicable Legal Requirements arising out of a breach of this Agreement, or (iv) limit or restrict the ability of either party to invoke or rely on the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement set forth in Section 6 hereof.

5.2.     Public Disclosure; Confidentiality.

(a)     The parties (other than the Securityholders’ Representative) will consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement or making any other public (or non-confidential) disclosure (whether or not in response to an inquiry) regarding the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Parent and the Company (prior to the Closing) or the Securityholders’ Representative (following the Closing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may include disclosures relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein in Parent’s filings with the SEC, and otherwise as required by the SEC and Nasdaq, without seeking approval from, or consulting with, any other parties hereto; provided, that Parent will make good faith efforts to provide the Company and, after the Closing, the Securityholders’ Representative with written notice of any such disclosures, except to the extent that any such disclosures are substantially similar to the information contained in previous public disclosures made by Parent. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, following execution hereof, the Securityholders’ Representative shall be permitted to, after the public announcement of the Merger, publicly announce that it has been engaged to serve as the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with the Merger as long as such announcement does not disclose any of the other terms of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated herein.

(b)     The terms of that certain Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement, dated January 24, 2017, between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) are hereby incorporated herein by reference and will continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement will terminate; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties and its representatives may make such disclosures as required by the terms of this Agreement without being in breach of the Confidentiality Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement will nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(c)     From and after the date hereof, the Securityholders’ Representative will not, and will cause its directors, officers, employees, Representatives and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person (other than to the Company Securityholders and its and their directors, partners, managers, officers, employees, Representatives and Affiliates), or use or otherwise exploit for their own benefit or for the benefit of anyone, any Confidential Information (as that term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement). The Securityholders’ Representative will not have any obligation to keep confidential (or cause its directors, officers, employees, Representatives and Affiliates to keep confidential) any Confidential Information if and to the extent that disclosure thereof is specifically required by applicable Legal Requirements or such information is otherwise publicly available; provided, however, that in the event that disclosure is required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Securityholders’ Representative will, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, provide Parent and the Company with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that the applicable party may seek an appropriate protective order; provided further, disclosure may be made or information used only to the extent any information is reasonably necessary for enforcing the rights of the Company Securityholders or Securityholders’ Representative arising out of this Agreement or defending against assertions by Parent or any other Indemnified Person as disclosed to any Governmental Authority or other involved party (e.g., opposing counsel, expert witnesses, investigators) in connection with any dispute resolution proceedings involving a dispute between Parent, on the one hand, and the Company Securityholders or the Securityholders’ Representative, on the other hand, arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.3.     Efforts; Government Approvals and Further Assurances.

(a)     Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company will use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to Section 5.3(b), each of Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional actions as any other party may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm, or evidence the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company will: (i) make any filings and give any notices required to be made or given by such party in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby; and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain any consent required to be obtained by such party in connection with this Agreement, the consummation of the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Each of Parent and the Company will pay 50% of any filing fee under the HSR Act and other Antitrust Laws. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company will promptly deliver to the other a copy of each such filing made (other than filings made pursuant to the HSR Act), each such notice given and each such consent obtained during the Pre-Closing Period, it being understood that delivery of such filings, notices and consents exclusively to the outside counsel of such other party will be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of this Section 5.3(a). The initial filings pursuant to the HSR Act will be made by Parent and the Company within five Business Days following the Agreement Date and the parties agree to file for early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.

(b)     The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the authorizations, consents, orders and approvals necessary for their execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement. Each of Parent and the Company will use their reasonable best efforts to (i) file, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all notices, reports and other documents required to be filed by such party with any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement, the consummation of the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) to submit promptly any additional information requested by any such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or otherwise to the contrary, each of Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company hereby covenants and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to secure prompt termination of any waiting periods imposed by the HSR Act and other Antitrust Laws and to comply at the earliest practicable date with any request under the HSR Act to provide information, documents or other materials requested by any Governmental Authority. Each of the Company and Parent will (A) give the other party prompt notice of the commencement of any legal proceeding by or before any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement, the consummation of the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby; and (B) keep the other party informed as to the status of any such legal proceeding. The Company and Parent will consult and cooperate with one another, and will consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted by either of them in connection with any legal proceeding under or relating to national security matters.

(c)     For the purposes of this Section 5.3, “reasonable best efforts” of Parent will not require (nor will anything in this Section 5.3 or otherwise in this Agreement require) Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that would prohibit or limit in any respect, or place any conditions on, the ownership or operation by Parent, its Subsidiaries or the Company or the Company Subsidiaries of any portion of the business or assets of Parent, the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries, or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, or compel Parent, the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries, or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, to dispose of, hold separate or license any portion of the business, assets or Intellectual Property of Parent, the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries, or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, respectively, in each case as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In no event will Parent, the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries, or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries be obligated to propose or agree to accept any undertaking or condition, to enter into any consent decree or hold separate order, to make any divestiture or to accept any operational restriction or limitation. With regard to any Governmental Authority, the Company will not, and will cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, without Parent’s prior written consent in Parent’s sole discretion, discuss or commit to any divestiture transaction, or discuss or commit to alter its business or commercial practices in any way, or otherwise discuss, take or commit to take any action that limits Parent’s freedom of action with respect to, or Parent’s ability to retain any of Parent’s, the Company’s, or the Company Subsidiaries’ respective businesses, product lines or assets or otherwise receive the full benefits of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent has the unilateral right to determine whether or not the parties will litigate with any Governmental Authority to oppose any enforcement action or remove any court or regulatory orders impeding the ability to consummate the Closing. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the obligations of Parent, its Subsidiaries and Merger Sub hereunder will not include any requirement to defend any proceeding challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Closing beyond the Outside Date.

(d)     Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall use best efforts to obtain the MA License as promptly as possible following the date hereof, and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with all efforts of Parent to obtain the MA License.

5.4.     Tax Matters.

(a)     Cooperation on Tax Matters. Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another party, in connection with the filing of (i) any Tax Return or amended Tax Return with respect to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, (ii) audit, or (iii) litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the other party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Securityholders’ Representative will, as applicable, (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Parent or the Company, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) give the other parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if any other party so requests, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, will allow the other parties to take possession of such books and records. Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Company Subsidiaries or Parent that could be imposed (including with respect to the Contemplated Transactions).

(b)      Tax Returns.

(i)     Pre-Closing Tax Returns. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries will prepare and file all Tax Returns relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, respectively, that are required to be filed on or before the Closing Date, which Tax Returns will be prepared in accordance with past practices and customs. The Company will provide Parent with copies of such Tax Returns that are income or other material Tax Returns.

(ii)     Post-Closing Tax Returns. Parent will prepare and file (or cause the Surviving Corporation to prepare and file) all Tax Returns relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that are required to be filed after the Closing Date, which Tax Returns to the extent relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period will be prepared in accordance with the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ past practices and customs except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirement. In the event that the Taxes reflected on such Tax Returns are reasonably likely to form the basis for a claim of indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(b), Parent will provide such Tax Returns relevant to such claim of indemnification to the Securityholders’ Representative for review and comment at least 35 days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns, will make reasonable changes consistent with all applicable Legal Requirements to such Tax Returns as requested by the Securityholders’ Representative, and will not file any such Tax Returns without the consent of the Securityholders’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. With respect to a Tax Return for a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date but required to be filed after the Closing Date by Parent pursuant to this section, Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay on or before five days from the due date of such Tax Return all amounts shown as due and payable on such Tax Return (except to the extent (on a dollar for dollar basis) such amounts were taken into account in calculating Closing Date Net Working Capital or Company Change in Control Payments, in each case, as finally determined hereunder). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) to the extent applicable Tax laws so permit, the parties will treat or elect to treat the taxable year of the Company and its Subsidiaries as terminating on the Closing Date, (ii) any income Tax deduction arising from the bonuses, option cashouts, restricted stock units, or other compensation and transaction expenses payments funded with the Aggregate Merger Consideration or made by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be allocable to the taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date (or the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date with respect to a Straddle Period), and (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall make a timely election under Revenue Procedure 2011- 29, 2011-18 I.R.B. 746, to apply the seventy percent (70%) safe-harbor to any expenses that are “success based fees” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.263(a)-5(f).

(c)      Tax Audits and Contests.

(i)     Unless Parent has previously received notice from the Securityholders’ Representative of the existence of any Tax Contest (as defined below), Parent will, or will cause the Company to, promptly notify the Securityholders’ Representative of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period for which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the Company Securityholders may be liable under this Agreement (such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar event, a “Tax Contest”); provided, however, that no failure to give such notice will relieve the Company Securityholders of any liability hereunder except to the extent, if any, that the rights of the Company Securityholders with respect to such claim are materially and actually prejudiced thereby. Except with respect to income Tax Returns (or information Tax Returns related to income Taxes) for taxable periods of the Company ending on or before the Closing Date, Parent will have the authority to represent the interests of the Company and will have control of the defense, compromise or other resolution of any Tax Contest; provided, however, that the Securityholders’ Representative will be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest at the Company Securityholders’ expense and Parent will not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Contest that is reasonably likely to affect the Tax liability of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, or the Company Securityholders for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or to form the basis for an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 8 without the written consent of Securityholders’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Securityholders’ Representative will have the authority, at the Company Securityholders’ expense, to represent the interests of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, and the Company Securityholders and will have control of the defense, compromise or other resolution of any Tax Contest to the extent that such Tax Contest involves Tax Returns (or information Tax Returns) related to income Taxes or Taxes in the nature of Taxes on net income for taxable periods of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries ending on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that Parent will be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest at its own expense and the Securityholders’ Representative will not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Contest that is reasonably likely to affect the Tax liability of the Company or Parent for any taxable period (or portion thereof) occurring after the Closing Date without the written consent of Parent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(ii)     If Parent or the Securityholders’ Representative elects, by written notice to the other party, not to control the defense of a Tax Contest that it has authority to control, the other party may assume control of the defense of such Tax Contest. In such event, the party electing not to control the defense of such Tax Contest (the “Non-Controlling Party”) will be given the opportunity to participate in, but not direct or conduct, any defense of such Tax Contest, unless such participation would affect any privilege of the party controlling the defense of such Tax Contest (the “Controlling Party”). The Non-Controlling Party’s participation under such circumstances will be subject to the Controlling Party’s right to control such defense. The Controlling Party will not settle any such Tax Contest without the consent of the Non-Controlling Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Controlling Party will (i) keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such claim and the defense thereof (including all material developments and events relating thereto) and will consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto and (ii) make available to the Non-Controlling Party any documents or materials in its possession or control that may be necessary to understand the defense of such claim (subject to protection of the attorney-client privilege). The Non-Controlling Party will furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Tax Contest (including copies of any summons, complaints or other pleadings that may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Tax Contest.

(d)     Post-Closing Actions. Unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements or with prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Parent, the Company and its Affiliates shall not, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) make (or cause to be made) any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, (ii) amend (or cause to be amended) any Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date and (iii) initiate or file any voluntary disclosure or similar agreements with any Tax authority relating to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent, the Company and its Affiliates shall not, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make an election under Sections 336 or 338(g) of the Code with respect to the transactions pursuant to this Agreement.

(e)     Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, the determination of the Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either: (A) based upon or related to income or receipts; (B) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), or (C) withholding Taxes, deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable period ended with (and included) the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of any other Taxes, such as ad valorem taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. For purposes of this Agreement, the taxable year of a Company Subsidiary that is a “controlled foreign corporation” or a “specified foreign corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be treated as ending on the Closing Date. With respect to a Tax Return for a Straddle Period required to be filed after the Closing Date by Parent pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(ii), Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay on or before five days from the due date of such Tax Return all amounts that are attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period determined in accordance with this section (except to the extent (on a dollar for dollar basis) such amounts were taken into account in calculating Closing Date Net Working Capital).

5.5.       Indemnification of Directors and Officers of Company.

(a)     Prior to or as of the Closing, the Company will cause coverage to be extended under the director and officer insurance policy (or policies) maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any actions or omissions by any current or former officers or directors of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) occurring at or prior to the Closing, by obtaining a related “tail” policy that has an effective term of six years from the Closing Date, with coverage in amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing coverage. The cost of such tail policy will be treated as a Specified Transaction Expense of the Company. Parent will not, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to not, cancel or change such insurance policies in any respect.

(b)     In addition, for a period of six years following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation agree to indemnify and hold harmless, reimburse, exculpate from liability, and advance expenses to all D&O Indemnified Parties to the same extent and on the same terms as such persons are entitled to indemnification, reimbursement, exculpation or expense advancement by Company or any such Company Subsidiary as of the Agreement Date, whether pursuant to applicable documents (including the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent governing documents) of any Subsidiary), individual indemnification agreements, by Legal Requirement or otherwise, for acts or omissions or matters which occurred or arose at or prior to the Effective Time (regardless of whether any proceeding relating to any D&O Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification, exculpation, or expense advancement with respect to any such matters, acts, or omissions is commenced before or after the Closing); provided that no D&O Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, reimbursement, exculpation, or advancement of expenses from Parent or the Surviving Corporation for amounts such D&O Indemnified Party owes or may owe to any Parent or the Surviving Corporation in such D&O Indemnified Party’s capacity as Company Securityholder under the provisions set forth in Section 8. Any claims for indemnification made under this Section 5.5 on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time shall survive until the final resolution thereof.

(c)     The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its successors to, pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by any D&O Indemnified Party (or his or her heirs, personal representatives, successors, or assigns) in any legal action brought by such person that is successful to enforce the obligations of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or its successors under this Section 5.5. The obligations of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and its successors under this Section 5.5 shall not be terminated, amended, or otherwise modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party (or his or her heirs, personal representatives, successors, or assigns) without the prior written consent of such D&O Indemnified Party (or his or her heirs, personal representatives, successors, or assigns, as applicable).

5.6.        Parachute Payments. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company will solicit Company Stockholder approval (in compliance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) of the right of any individual who is or would reasonably be expected to be, as of the Closing Date, a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) and who has executed a waiver as described in the following sentence to receive payments and benefits that could be deemed a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code). In addition, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (a) ensure that the payments and benefits that would otherwise constitute a “parachute payment” be exempt from the definition of “parachute payment” by reason of the exemption provided under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and (b) take all actions necessary to so exempt any such payments and benefits (including to obtain any necessary consents from such disqualified individuals to waive such “parachute payments” to the extent such Company Stockholder approval is not obtained).

5.7.        Stockholder Action.

(a)     The Company’s board of directors has declared this Agreement, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, advisable and approved a resolution recommending approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions by the Company Stockholders (the “Board Recommendation”).

(b)     Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will, in accordance with and pursuant to Section 251 of the DGCL, take all action necessary to seek and obtain, as soon as practicable, written consents from all Company Stockholders, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Stockholder Written Consents”). No amendment or supplement (including any incorporated by reference) to the Stockholder Written Consents or any of such related information will be made without the approval of Parent. As soon as practicable following the Company’s receipt of Stockholder Written Consents, the Company will deliver to Parent copies of such Stockholder Written Consents, certified as true and complete by the secretary of the Company.

(c)     Within one Business Day after the date hereof, the Company will deliver to Parent Stockholder Written Consents, duly executed by Company Stockholders holding sufficient Company Shares to provide the Required Stockholder Approval.

(d)     Following receipt of the Required Stockholder Approval, the Company will promptly deliver to each holder of Company Shares a notice of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement by written consent of the holders of Company Shares pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL, which notice must include the required notice to holders of Company Shares required by applicable Legal Requirements that appraisal rights may be available to holders of Company Shares in accordance with the DGCL. Prior to the delivery of such notice to the Company Stockholders, the Company must have given Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity (but in no event fewer than five Business Days prior to delivery to the Company Stockholders) to review and comment on the proposed notice and all related information proposed to be provided in connection therewith. If the Company determines it is commercially reasonable to exercise its rights under Section 3.2 of the Voting Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to enforce the requirements of Section 3.2 of the Voting Agreement and require the Company Stockholders subject thereto to deliver all required consents and documentation thereunder and to take (or refrain from taking) such actions specified therein.

5.8.        Notification of Certain Matters.

(a)     During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will, upon becoming aware of any of the following, promptly notify Parent (i) if any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement was, when made, or at any time thereafter became (or would have become, but for any limitation set forth in such representation or warranty as to the date on which such representation or warranty is, was, or will be made), untrue or inaccurate in any respect that would reasonably be expected to result in the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) to not be satisfied; (ii) if the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event, fact, change, condition or circumstance has caused or would reasonably be expected to cause any condition to the obligations of Parent to effect the Contemplated Transactions not to be satisfied; (iii) of the failure of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in the condition set forth in Section 6.2(b) to not be satisfied; or (iv) of the institution or written threat of any legal proceeding against the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries related to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions (the events, facts and circumstances and failures described in clauses (i) – (iv), individually and collectively, the “Post-Signing Events”).

(b)     The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.8 will not be deemed to modify the representations and warranties in Section 2 for purposes of Section 6.2; provided, however, that if a Post-Signing Event is disclosed to Parent in writing in accordance with this Section 5.8, such Post-Signing Event constitutes or would constitute a failure of a condition contained in Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) to be met, and Company notifies Parent in writing that, as a result of such Post-Signing Event, there is a failure of a condition contained in Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b), Parent will have a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d) after complying with the procedures therein.

(c)     For clarity, unintentional failure to give notice under Section 5.8(a) shall not be deemed to be a breach of covenant under this Section 5.8 and shall constitute only a breach of the underlying representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition, as the case may be. For clarity, any breach or violation of the notification required under the parenthetical clause in Section 5.8(a)(i) will not result in any monetary or other liability of the Company or Company Securityholders.

5.9.       Termination of Company Options. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will take all actions necessary and sufficient in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, and, as applicable, the Company Equity Incentive Plan and each Company Option (in each case, including obtaining all of the Option Termination Agreements with respect to outstanding Company Options and other necessary consents, and obtaining approval of its board of directors) (a) to give effect to the actions contemplated by Section 1.13, including taking such action, if any, as is required to cause all outstanding Company Options to the extent then unvested, to become fully vested and exercisable, and to cancel all outstanding Company Options upon payment as contemplated by Section 1.13, effective immediately following the Effective Time; and (b) to automatically terminate, as of the Effective Time, the Company Equity Incentive Plan and all Company Options (including any underlying agreements relating to the Company Options), such that at the Effective Time and upon the payments contemplated by Section 1.13, no Person will have any right to purchase or receive any equity or payment interest, or right convertible into or exercisable for any equity or payment interest, of the Company.

5.10.       Letters of Transmittal and Other Agreements. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Parent (a) Letters of Transmittal from each of the Company Stockholders; (b) Option Termination Agreements from each of the Company Optionholders; and (c) Warrant Termination Agreements from each holder of a Company Warrant, and the Company and Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to the other party such other agreements and instruments necessary to satisfy the conditions to Closing hereunder.

5.11.       No Solicitation or Negotiation.

(a)     The Company acknowledges that neither it, nor its Representatives, is engaged in any discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to an Acquisition Proposal and confirms that the Company has complied with, and is in current compliance with, the exclusivity obligations under that certain letter agreement, dated May 10, 2018, between Parent and the Company, as amended. The Company will not, and will not authorize or permit its Representatives to, directly or indirectly, from the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 7: (i) solicit, initiate, facilitate or knowingly encourage an Acquisition Proposal; or (ii) (A) furnish or disclose to any Person non-public information with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; (B) negotiate or engage in discussions with any Person with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; or (C) enter into or amend or grant any waiver or release under any Contract (whether or not binding) or agreement in principle with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

(b)     The Company’s board of directors will not: (i) withdraw, amend, or modify, or propose to withdraw, modify, or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Board Recommendation; (ii) approve, recommend, or fail to recommend against, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) make any statement inconsistent with its recommendation that the Company Stockholders approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger; or (iv) enter into any contract (whether or not binding) or agreement in principle with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

(c)     The Company will promptly (and in any event within one Business Day after receipt thereof by such party or its Representatives) advise Parent orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, any request for information with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or that would reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the Person making the same.

5.12.       Affiliate Agreements. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will take all actions necessary and sufficient to cause to be terminated at the Effective Time the agreements set forth on Schedule 5.12.

5.13.       Data Room. At or prior to the Closing, the Company will deliver to Parent, one or more flash drives or DVDs that contain the true, correct and complete contents of the Data Room.

5.14.       Notice of Dissenting Shares. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will give Parent prompt written notice upon receipt by the Company at any time before the Effective Time of any notice of intent to demand the fair value of any Company Shares under the DGCL and any withdrawal of any such notice. The Company will not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand at any time before the Effective Time.

5.15.       Audited Financial Statements. The Company shall and shall cause its independent auditor to prepare the audited consolidated balance sheet and the related audited consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 in accordance with GAAP and deliver them together with all working papers in connection therewith (the “Audited Financials”) to Parent as promptly as practicable after the date hereof.

5.16.       Employee Matters.

(a)     From the Closing Date until six (6) months thereafter, unless otherwise agreed to by the Senior Managers, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to each employee of the Company who continues employment with the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with (i) a base salary or hourly wage rate (as applicable) that is at least equal to that provided to the Continuing Employee immediately prior to (or at in the case of Key Employee) the Effective Time, (ii) an annual cash incentive opportunity and commission opportunity that is at least equal to that provided to the Continuing Employee immediately prior to (or at in the case of Key Employee) the Effective Time, and (iii) other compensation and employee benefits, including long-term incentives and employee health, welfare, retirement and severance benefits (other than defined benefit pension or retiree medical benefits), that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided to the Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b)     Parent shall use, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to use, commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, as of the Effective Time, each Continuing Employee receives full credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, benefit accrual, vacation entitlement and severance benefits for service with the Company (or predecessor employers to the extent the Company provides such past service credit) under the comparable employee benefit plans, programs and policies of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, in which such employees are eligible to participate; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply (i) with respect to any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical benefits, or (ii) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. With respect to each health or welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation for the benefit of Continuing Employees, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under such plan, and (y) cause each Continuing Employee to be given credit under such plan for all amounts paid by such Continuing Employee under any similar Company Employee Plan for the plan year that includes the Effective Time for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments, and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plans maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(c)     Except as provided for in this Section 5.16, nothing in this Agreement is intended nor shall be construed to (i) be treated as an amendment to any particular Company Employee Plan, (ii) prevent Parent from amending or terminating any of its benefit plans in accordance their terms, (iii) create a right in any employee to employment with the Company, Parent, or the Surviving Corporation (under Section 5.16(a) or otherwise), or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee of the Company with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Continuing Employee by Parent or the Company or under any benefit plan which Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation may maintain. The Securityholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders) has the right to enforce this Section 5.16 from the Closing Date until the end of the Second Measurement Period.

(b)     Performance of Covenants. Parent and Merger Sub must have complied with and performed in all material respects all of its respective covenants under this Agreement required to be complied with or performed by Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, at or prior to the Closing.

(c)     Parent Closing Certificate. The Company must have received a certificate executed on behalf of Parent by an officer of Parent (the “Parent Closing Certificate”) representing and warranting that the conditions set forth in Sections 6.3(a) and 6.3(b) have been satisfied.

(d)     Receipt of Closing Deliverables. The Company must have received each of the agreements, instruments and other documents set forth in Section 1.3(a), and Parent must have satisfied its Closing payment obligations set forth herein.

7.       Termination.

7.1.        Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (with respect to Sections 7.1(b) through 7.1(e), by notice from the terminating party to the other party setting forth a brief description of the basis for termination):

(a)     by the mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b)     by Parent or the Company if the Closing has not been consummated by September 30, 2018 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) will not be available to any party whose failure to comply with or perform in any material respect any covenant under this Agreement has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;

(c)     without limiting the right of Parent or the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b), by the Company if (i) there is a material breach of any of the representations or warranties of Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) would not be satisfied, or there has been a material breach by Parent or Merger Sub of any of its respective covenants in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 6.3(b) would not be satisfied, (ii) the Company has delivered to Parent a written notice of such breach, and (iii) at least twenty Business Days have elapsed since the delivery of such notice without such breach having been cured (provided, however, that no such cure period will be available or applicable to any such breach that by its nature cannot be cured);

(d)     without limiting the right of Parent or the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b), by Parent if (i) there is a material breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Company in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) would not be satisfied, or there has been a material breach by the Company of any of their covenants in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 6.2(b) would not be satisfied, (ii) Parent has delivered to the Company a written notice of such breach, and (iii) at least twenty Business Days have elapsed since the delivery of such notice without such breach having been cured (provided, however, that no such cure period will be available or applicable to any such breach that by its nature cannot be cured); or

(e)     by Parent, if within one Business Day after the date of this Agreement, Parent has not received the Required Stockholder Approval; provided, that if the Required Stockholder Approval is provided prior to Parent terminating this Agreement, Parent’s termination right under this clause (e) will be terminated and have no further force and effect.

7.2.       Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement will be of no further force or effect, and there will be no liability on the part of Parent or the Company or their respective officers, directors, shareholders or members, except to the extent that such liability results from any prior willful and material breach by a party of any of its covenants, agreements or representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 1.14(e), Section 9, and the Confidentiality Agreement will remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement.

8.       Escrow and Indemnification.

8.1.        Indemnification.

(a)     Expiration of Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. All representations and warranties made by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement (and the right to bring a claim for breach thereof) will survive the Closing until the 15 month anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time such representations and warranties will expire and terminate and be of no further force and effect; provided, however, that the representations and warranties (and the right to bring a claim for breach thereof) contained in Section 2.1 (Organization, Standing and Power), Section 2.2 (Company Subsidiaries), Section 2.3 (Power and Authority), Section 2.4 (Capitalization), Section 2.23 (Taxes) (solely with respect to income tax matters), Section 2.30 (Brokers’ and Finders’ Fee), Section 3.1 (Organization, Standing and Power), Section 3.2 (Authorization and Binding Obligation of Parent), Section 3.4 (Brokers), and Section 3.5 (Financing) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), and the corresponding representations in or incorporated by reference into any Option Termination Agreement, Warrant Termination Agreement or Letter of Transmittal, will survive the Closing until the 30th day after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, at which time they (and such right, subject to clause (A) below) will expire and terminate and be of no further force and effect; provided, further that the representations and warranties (and the right to bring a claim for breach thereof) contained in Section 2.14 (Intellectual Property) will survive the Closing until the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the date of expiration of any representation or warranty in this Agreement being a “Representation Termination Date”). The covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement (i) that contemplate performance on or before the Closing will continue in full force and effect after the Closing until the 15-month anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) that contemplate performance after the Closing will continue in full force and effect after the Closing in accordance with their terms until fully performed (the applicable date of expiration of any covenant in this Agreement being a “Covenant Termination Date”). No claim for a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement may be made after the expiration of the Representation Termination Date of such representation or warranty, and no claim for a breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement may be made after the expiration of the Covenant Termination Date of such covenant, and no claim pursuant to clauses (iii)-(vii) of Section 8.1(b) may be made after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, in each case except (A) for claims of which a party has received written notification (each, an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) prior to such expiration setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such claim (including a reasonable specification of the legal and factual basis for such claim) and (B) any claim that is brought by the indemnifying party as a counterclaim to a claim brought in accordance with the prior clause (A). If a party has sent an Indemnification Claim Notice to another party within the time period prescribed by this subsection (a), such claim will not be extinguished by the passage of such time period and will survive until such claim has been fully and finally resolved. The Company and the Company Securityholders waive any statute of limitations to the extent shorter than the claim periods specified in this subsection (a). The parties acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 8.1(a) 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.

(b)     Indemnification for Company Representations and Covenants. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.1(a), this Section 8.1(b), Section 8.1(e), Section 8.1(f), Section 8.1(g), and Section 8.1(h), from and after the Closing, each Company Securityholder will severally, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portion (and not jointly), indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Representatives, successors in interest and assigns (each of the foregoing being referred to individually as an “Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Indemnified Persons”) from, against and in respect of, and will compensate and reimburse the Indemnified Persons for, any and all Damages imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Person, directly or indirectly, whether or not due to a third-party claim, arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with: (i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder by the Company in connection with the Closing; (ii) the breach of any covenant of the Company set forth in this Agreement to be performed at or prior to the Closing; (iii) any claim by a Company Securityholder regarding the distribution of payments hereunder among Company Securityholders; (iv) demands by Company Securityholders asserting appraisal rights or any similar claim that result in payment to such Company Securityholder and associated defense costs in the aggregate in excess of the applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration they would have otherwise received under this Agreement for his, her or its Company Shares; (v) claims by Company Securityholders relating to breaches of fiduciary duties of the board of directors of the Company; (vi) Pre-Closing Taxes; and (vii) Unpaid Company Debt, Unpaid Specified Transaction Expenses, and Unpaid Company Change in Control Payments.

(c)     Indemnification for Company Securityholder Representations and Covenants. In addition to the indemnification obligations of the Company Securityholders set forth in Section 8.1(b), but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.1(a), this Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(e), Section 8.1(f), Section 8.1(g), and Section 8.1(h), from and after the Closing, each Company Securityholder will severally, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portion (and not jointly), indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Persons from, against and in respect of, and will compensate and reimburse the Indemnified Persons for, any and all Damages imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Person, directly or indirectly, whether or not due to a third-party claim, arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with: (i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by such Company Securityholder set forth in any Letter of Transmittal, any Warrant Termination Agreement and/or any Option Termination Agreement to which such Company Securityholder is a party; and (ii) the breach of any covenant of such Company Securityholder set forth in any Letter of Transmittal, any Warrant Termination Agreement and/or any Option Termination Agreement to which such Company Securityholder is a party.

(d)     Indemnification for Parent and Merger Sub Representations and Covenants. From and after the Closing Date, Parent will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Company Securityholder and its directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, successors in interest and assigns from, against and in respect of, and will compensate and reimburse such Persons for, any and all Damages imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by any of them, directly or indirectly, whether or not due to a third-party claim, arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with (i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder, and (ii) the breach of any covenant of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement.

(e)      Limitations of Liability.

(i)     Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except as provided in Sections 1.5, 1.6(d), 8.1(e)(vi), and 9.6, the right of the parties and other indemnified Persons to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 8 will be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to all monetary Damages under this Agreement (and with respect to a particular Company Securityholder, under any Letter of Transmittal, any Warrant Termination Agreement and/or any Option Termination Agreement to which such Company Securityholder is a party). For clarity, this means (a) that the survival periods and liability limits set forth in this Section 8 shall control notwithstanding any statutory or common law provisions or principles to the contrary, (b) all applicable statutes of limitations or other claims periods with respect to claims shall be shortened or lengthened to the applicable claims periods and survival periods set forth herein, and (c) Parent and the Indemnified Persons irrevocably waive any and all rights they may have to make claims against any Company Securityholders under statutory and common law as a result of any Damages and any and all other damages incurred by them with respect to this Agreement (and with respect to a particular Company Securityholder, under any Letter of Transmittal, any Warrant Termination Agreement and/or any Option Termination Agreement to which such Company Securityholder is a party) whether or not in excess of the maximum amounts permitted to be recovered pursuant to this Section 8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8 will limit any party’s or indemnified party’s right to seek and obtain specific performance or injunctive relief to which any party may be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraud or criminal actions (for clarity, the dollar liability limit of any Company Securityholder with respect to any such fraud committed by the Company will be limited to the Upper Cap).

(ii)     Deductible. Subject to Sections 8.1(e)(vi) and without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Agreement, the indemnification obligations of the Company Securityholders provided for in Section 8.1(b)(i) will not apply, and the Indemnified Persons will not be entitled to exercise any indemnification rights under this Agreement, unless and until the aggregate amount of the Damages against which such Indemnified Persons would otherwise be entitled to be indemnified under Section 8.1(b)(i) exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”), after which the Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification for all of their Damages in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the Deductible will not apply to any Excluded Matters.

(iii)     Mini-Basket. Subject to Sections 8.1(e)(vi) and without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Agreement, the indemnification obligations of the Company Securityholders provided for in Section 8.1(b)(i) and Section 8.1(c) will not apply, and the Indemnified Persons will not be entitled to exercise any indemnification rights under this Agreement for any single claim (or series of related claims or claims arising from similar facts and circumstances), unless and until the Damages from such single claim (or series of related claims or claims arising from similar facts and circumstances) against which such Indemnified Persons would otherwise be entitled to be indemnified under Section 8.1(b)(i) and Section 8.1(c) exceeds $25,000 (the “Mini-Basket”), after which the Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification for all of their Damages with respect to such claim (or series of related claims or claims arising from similar facts and circumstances) (including the Mini-Basket), in each case subject to the other limitations provided for herein; provided, however, that the Mini-Basket will not apply to any Excluded Matters.

(iv)     Cap. Subject to Sections 8.1(e)(vi) and without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Agreement, the Company Securityholders’ indemnity obligations under Section 8.1(b)(i) and Section 8.1(c) will be limited, in the aggregate, to $25,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Cap will not apply to any Excluded Matters. Subject to Sections 8.1(e)(vi) and without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Agreement, each Company Securityholder’s indemnity obligations with respect to the Excluded Matters (other than under Section 8.1(e)(vi)) will be limited, in the aggregate, to the amount of the Aggregate Merger Consideration actually received by such Company Securityholder (inclusive of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, WC Escrow Amount, and Securityholders’ Representative Amount attributable to such Company Securityholder) (the “Upper Cap”).

(v)       Materiality. For purposes of determining the failure of any representations or warranties to be true and correct and calculating Damages hereunder, any reference to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect in the representations and warranties will be disregarded.

(vi)     Fraud and Criminal Actions. Nothing in this Agreement will limit any remedy any party hereto or any Company Securityholder with respect to fraud or intentional material criminal actions personally committed by such Person, and only in the case of fraud or intentional material criminal actions will a Company Securityholder be liable for more than his, her or its Upper Cap.

(vii)     Applicability of Limitations. The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge acquired, capable of being acquired, or that is alleged the other party should have known, at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement (except as provided for in Section 3.7). The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreements, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.

(viii)    Calculation of Damages. Any claim for Damages will be calculated: (i) as to actual losses and out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Parent or any other Indemnified Person, without regard to reductions or diminutions in value, lost opportunities or other speculative damages; (ii) without regard to any punitive, exemplary, special, incidental, or consequential damages unless (x) any such punitive, exemplary, special, incidental, or consequential damages are actually awarded to a third party by a Governmental Authority or (y) in the case of special or consequential damages only, any such special or consequential damages are reasonably foreseeable under an objective standard; and (iii) such that costs and expenses (including those incurred in investigating, defending or resolving any applicable third-party claim) shall constitute Damages if and solely to the extent that such underlying claim is indemnifiable hereunder (without taking into account such costs and expenses when determining whether such underlying claim is indemnifiable hereunder).

(ix)      Primacy of Indemnity Escrow Account; General Unresolved Claims. Amounts of Damages owed by a Company Securityholder to an Indemnified Person under Section 8, other than Section 8.1(c), that have been resolved in favor of an Indemnified Person shall be recovered, first, from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, and, only after the Indemnity Escrow Fund has been exhausted in full, then pursuant to Section 1.6(d) and then, only if Section 1.6(d) is no longer applicable, directly from the Company Securityholders. At least two Business Days prior to the Preliminary Escrow Release Date, Parent shall provide the Securityholders’ Representative with its good faith summary of all General Unresolved Claims as of such date, and only such amounts as Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative agree in good faith are reasonably necessary to satisfy such General Unresolved Claims shall be retained in the Indemnity Escrow Fund. Following the Preliminary Escrow Release Date, if a General Unresolved Claim that was made prior to the Preliminary Escrow Release Date is finally resolved, then Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall within five Business Days after the final resolution of such General Unresolved Claim (or all General Unresolved Claims) instruct the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnity Escrow Fund the appropriate amounts from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Paying Agent and the Surviving Corporation for further distribution to the Company Securityholders.

(x)      Other Limitations. Any claim for indemnification under Section 8 other than Section 8.1(c), and any offer to compromise or settle such claim, must be made on a pro rata basis to each Company Securityholder (based on his, her or its respective Pro Rata Portion).

(xi)     Tax Matters. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company Securityholders shall not have any liability or indemnification obligation for any Taxes of Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) resulting from any election made under Section 336 or 338 of the Code with respect to the Merger, (ii) that are not Pre-Closing Taxes, (iii) resulting from any action taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries out of the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date or after the Closing, or (iv) based on the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to utilize any net operating loss, net capital loss, Tax basis, investment Tax credit, foreign Tax credit, charitable deduction or other credit or Tax attribute that could be carried forward or back to reduce Taxes (including deductions and credits related to alternative minimum Taxes) in any Tax period or portion thereof (including any Straddle Period).

(xii)     No Liability for Others. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event will any Company Securityholder be liable for any other Company Securityholder’s breach of such other Company Securityholder’s representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained in any Letter of Transmittal, any Warrant Termination Agreement and/or Option Termination Agreement, or other ancillary agreement hereto to which such other Company Securityholder is a party.

(xiii)     Pre-Closing Period. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event a matter arises between the date hereof and the Closing Date (other than as a result of fraud by the Company under this Agreement) and thereby results in a failure of a representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or in the certificate described in Section 6.2(c), such failure shall not be deemed to be fraud with respect to such representation or warranty (for example, because the Company may not legally effectively update the Company Disclosure Schedule), unless and to the extent actions of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries relating to any such matter would otherwise constitute fraud.

(xiv)     Rescission. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of an Indemnified Person after the consummation of the Merger to rescind this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions.

(f)       Control of Defense; Conditions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4(c), which will apply to all Tax Contests, in the event that Parent or another Indemnified Person becomes aware of a third party claim (any such claim, a “Third Party Claim”) that Parent believes may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, Parent will promptly notify the Securityholders’ Representative of such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay in providing such notice prior to the applicable Representation Termination Date will affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Company Securityholders are materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice must contain a reasonably detailed description of the basis of the claim and the nature and amount, if then reasonably ascertainable, of such Damages that may be indemnifiable. The obligations of the Company Securityholders under this Section 8 with respect to Damages arising from any Third Party Claim will be governed by the following additional terms and conditions:

(i)     The Securityholders’ Representative, at its option and at the expense of the Company Securityholders, will be entitled to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim at any time within 30 days of receiving written notice of the Third Party Claim from Parent and may appoint as lead counsel of such defense any legal counsel selected by the Securityholders’ Representative and reasonably acceptable to Parent; provided that the Securityholders’ Representative will not be entitled to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim without Parent’s express written consent in the event (A) the named parties to any such Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company Securityholders and the Indemnified Person and, in the opinion of counsel to the Securityholders’ Representative and the Indemnified Person, there is an actual conflict of interest between the Securityholders’ Representative and the Indemnified Person, (B) the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that such Third Party Claim seeks material non-monetary relief (in which case, the portion of the Third Party Claim unrelated to monetary relief may be controlled by Parent), (C) the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that an adverse determination of such claim could be materially detrimental to Indemnified Person’s business, (D) the indemnifying party has failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim, or (E) the claim relates to or arises in connection with any potential criminal liability or regulatory violation of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company (in which case, the portion of the Third Party Claim unrelated to monetary relief may be controlled by Parent) (each, an “Assumable Claim”). In the event that the Securityholders’ Representative assumes control of the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Securityholders’ Representative will keep Parent informed of all material events and developments, including promptly providing copies of any correspondence and court filings, with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(ii)     Notwithstanding Section 8.1(f)(i) above, the Indemnified Person will be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, that such employment will be at the Indemnified Person’s own expense unless the indemnifying party is otherwise liable for such amounts as Damages hereunder. The Indemnified Person will have the right, by notice to the Securityholders’ Representative, to assume the defense of an Assumable Claim and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Person’s counsel incurred in connection with such Assumable Claim will be included in Damages if it is ultimately determined pursuant to the procedures hereunder that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to such Assumable Claim; provided, however, that if it is ultimately determined by agreement of the Securityholders’ Representative and the Indemnified Person or by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder with respect to such Assumable Claim, such fees and expenses will not be Damages.

(iii)     In connection with a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person claiming indemnification shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party and make available to the indemnifying party all pertinent information under its control (provided that all Confidential Information shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent will, and will cause employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate fully with the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with any matter for which Company Securityholders are the indemnifying party. Such cooperation may include, without limitation, (a) assisting in the collection and preparation of discovery materials, (b) meeting with (and making employees available to meet with) the Securityholders’ Representative and/or its counsel to prepare for and/or appear as witnesses at depositions, court proceedings and/or trial and (c) providing to the Securityholders’ Representative and/or its counsel all information under the control of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is deemed necessary by the Securityholders’ Representative and/or its counsel for the defense or prosecution of such matter (subject to the attorney-client privilege). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in no event will the Indemnified Person be required to waive any attorney-client privilege in connection with such cooperation. All costs incurred by the Indemnified Person and reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Person’s counsel incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the cooperation required under this Section 8.1(f)(iii) will be included in Damages in the event that it is ultimately determined pursuant to the procedures hereunder that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to such Third Party Claim provided, however, that if it is ultimately determined by agreement of the Securityholders’ Representative and the Indemnified Person or by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder with respect to the Third Party Claim, such costs, fees and expenses will not be Damages.

(iv)     Neither the Securityholders’ Representative nor the Indemnified Person may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being understood and agreed that it shall be reasonable for the Securityholders’ Representative to withhold such consent if the Securityholders’ Representative believes in good faith that there is not any underlying basis for indemnification with respect to such settlement or compromise).

(g)       Insurance, Third Party Indemnities, and Tax Benefits. The amount of any Damages payable under this Section 8 will be net of amounts actually received by the Indemnified Person under its applicable insurance policies issued by insurance companies or amounts recovered from third parties under indemnification rights (other than the indemnities contemplated by this Section 8) with respect to such Damages (determined after giving effect to any deductible associated therewith, any increase in premiums (including retropremium obligations) resulting therefrom). If an Indemnified Person receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies issued by insurance companies or indemnification proceeds subsequent to its receipt of an indemnification payment by the indemnifying parties, then such Indemnified Person will, without duplication, promptly reimburse the indemnifying parties (net of costs and expenses of such recovery and resulting premium increases) for any payment made by such indemnifying parties up to the amount received by the Indemnified Person; provided, that the aggregate amount of reimbursement payments to the indemnifying parties in respect of any such Damages will not in any event exceed the aggregate indemnification payment received by the Indemnified Person from the indemnifying parties with respect to such Damages. The Indemnified Persons shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek, when applicable, recovery under director and officer tail insurance policy purchased pursuant to Section 5.5(a) covering any Damage against such insurers. Nothing in this Section 8.1(g) will be construed to require any Person to obtain or maintain any insurance coverage (provided that Parent will not cancel any prepaid insurance coverage obtained by the Company prior to the Closing or exclude the Company from any group or umbrella insurance policies of Parent that cover subsidiaries of Parent similarly situated to the Company). In calculating amounts payable to the Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Section 8, the amount of any Damages shall be computed net of any Loss Tax Benefit. For purposes hereof, “Loss Tax Benefit” means the net Tax savings, refunds or benefits realized in the year of the Loss or the following taxable year by the Indemnified Persons or their Affiliates actually received on a last deduction basis that is attributable to any deduction, loss, credit, refund, or other reduction in Tax resulting from or arising out of such Damages.

(h)     No Duplication of Recovery. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) to the extent that any Damages resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company under this Agreement is taken into account as a current liability, reserved or accrued, or otherwise accounted for, in determining Closing Date Net Working Capital, or on the Company Balance Sheet, or otherwise taken into account in the calculation of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, (A) no Indemnified Person may recover such Damages through a claim pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise and (B) such Damages will not be included in the determination of whether all Damages, in the aggregate, exceed the Deductible or the Cap and (ii) no Indemnified Person may recover duplicative Damages in respect of a single set of facts or circumstances under more than one representation or warranty in this Agreement, any Letter of Transmittal, any Warrant Termination Agreement and/or Option Termination Agreement regardless of whether such facts or circumstances would give rise to a breach of more than one representation or warranty in this Agreement, any Letter of Transmittal, any Warrant Termination Agreement and/or any Option Termination Agreement.

8.2.       Exercise of Remedies by Indemnified Persons other than Parent. No Indemnified Person (other than Parent) will be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Parent consents to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

8.3.       Savings Clause. The parties intend that the provisions of this Section 8 substantially comply with the requirements set forth in Section 3.3 of the Voting Agreement. If the Company exercises the rights under Section 3.2 of the Voting Agreement, in the event that any provision of this Section 8, or the application thereof, does not, or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to not, substantially comply with the requirements set forth in Section 3.3 of the Voting Agreement, then all other terms of this Section 8 will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and such term automatically will be amended so that it complies with the requirements set forth in Section 3.3 of the Voting Agreement, but in a manner as close to the parties’ original intent as is permissible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that for purposes of compliance with Section 3.3 of the Voting Agreement, any Earn-Out Payment that is earned pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof shall be deemed to be an “escrow” (as that term is used in Section 3.3 of the Voting Agreement) to give effect to the provisions set forth in Section 1.6(d).

8.4.     Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The parties agree that any amount paid to an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 8 will be treated as a reduction in the consideration payable hereunder for Tax purposes.

9.       General Provisions.

9.1.     Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed duly delivered (i) upon receipt if delivered personally, (ii) one Business Day after being sent by nationally recognized commercial overnight courier service, with confirmation of receipt, or (iii) upon transmission if sent via facsimile with confirmation of receipt (or, if such facsimile is not sent on a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day), or (iv) by electronic mail when sent, provided that either (x) receipt of the email is confirmed by the recipient or (y) such notice is also sent within one Business Day by reliable overnight delivery service (with proof of service), hand delivery, facsimile (with confirmation of transmission) or certified or registered mail (return receipt requested and first-class postage prepaid), to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as may be specified upon like notice):

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the failure of a party to exercise any of its rights hereunder or to insist upon strict adherence to any term or condition hereof on any one occasion will not be construed as a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to the terms and conditions of this Agreement at a later date. Further, no waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be deemed to or will constitute a waiver of any other term of condition hereof (whether or not similar).

Parent and Merger Sub further agree that, as to all communications among Goodwin, the Company, the Securityholders’ Representative and/or any Company Securityholder that relate in any way to the Contemplated Transactions or a similar transaction prior to the Closing (the “Privileged Information”), the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Securityholders and may be controlled by the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Securityholders and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates. Prior to the Closing, the Company may delete all Privileged Information from the Company’s and/or Company Subsidiary’s systems, books, and records; provided, that if the Company fails to so delete any Privileged Information, (i) Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and their respective Subsidiaries acknowledge that such failure shall not waive such privilege of the Securityholders’ Representative and/or Company Securityholders, (ii) Parent shall promptly notify the Securityholders’ Representative of the existence of such Privileged Information, (iii) Parent shall provide a copy of any such Privileged Information to the Securityholders’ Representative, and (iv) Parent shall delete such Privileged Information from its and its Affiliates’ systems, books and records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Securityholders’ Representative or a Company Securityholder, on the other hand, Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and their Affiliates may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or its Affiliates may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative.

If the 2020 EBITA Milestone is not met, then one-half of the unearned portion of the First Earn-out Payment (i.e., $250,000,000 less the amount determined under Section 1.1(a)(i), Section 1.1(a)(ii), or Section 1.1(a)(iii) of this Schedule 1.6, Part A, as applicable) (such amount, the “Rollover Amount”) will roll over and potentially qualify for payment if any portion of the Non-Shahky Earn-out Payment is earned. If there is a Rollover Amount and any portion of the Non-Shahky Earn-out Payment is earned, Parent will pay the Company Securityholders a portion of the Rollover Amount (which will be reflected as part of, and an increase to, the Non-Shahky Earn-out Payment calculated in Section 1.1(c) of this Schedule 1.6, Part A) equal to the product of (1) the Rollover Amount times (2) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is equal to the amount of the Non-Shahky Earn-out Payment earned under Section 1.1(c) of this Schedule 1.6, Part A, and (B) the denominator of which is equal to $30,000,000.

2.       Covenants Concerning Earn-out Period Operations.

The CEO and relevant Senior Managers shall participate in the Parent’s periodic management and review processes, including regular reviews of financial performance and operations, in the same manner and frequency as other divisions and business units of Parent. The CEO, in consultation with the other Senior Managers and the management of Parent, will be responsible for the operations of and have the right to make and implement all decisions for the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, provided that such decisions are Commercially Reasonable, consistent with the Earn-out Plan and do not violate in any material respect any policy, process, or procedure of Parent that is generally applicable to Parent’s and its other Subsidiaries’ other lines of business. The Senior Managers will have signing authority to enter into agreements on behalf of the Surviving Corporation to the extent permitted by Parent’s delegation of authority policies and processes as amended from time to time.

(b)     The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will not be required to engage in discounting, promotional, or refund practices that are materially inconsistent with those of the Company pre-Closing unless required by law, regulations, or Accounting Principles.

(c)     The equipment or facilities required for the activities included in the Earn-out Plan will not, other than as decided by the CEO or the Senior Managers, be transferred, sold, decommissioned or closed, as long as such decisions and activities are carried out in accordance with the Earn-out Plan.

(d)     No equity of the Surviving Corporation will be transferred to a non-wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent.

3.2     EBITA Statements.

No later than ninety (90) days after the end of each of the First Measurement Period and the Second Measurement Period, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative (i) an unaudited statement of income of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries for such Measurement Period, (ii) a statement of the EBITA for such Measurement Period, (iii) solely with respect to the Second Measurement Period, a statement of the 2022 Shahky Associated EBITA and the 2022 Non-Shahky EBITA, and (iv) a statement setting forth Parent’s determination of the resulting Earn-out Payment in respect of such Measurement Period, in each case, together with any reasonable supporting detail (collectively, the “Earn-out Statements”). The Earn-out Statements shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. Parent shall promptly provide the Securityholders’ Representative with all information directly relating to the Earn-out Statements (in electronic format, if available) that the Securityholders’ Representative may reasonably request in order to review each Earn-out Statement, including copies of or access to the relevant books, records and documents Parent and/or any of its Affiliates prepared or reviewed in preparing such Earn-out Statement (with the right to make copies of any items to which access is given).

4.       EBITA Adjustments; Modifications; Dispute Resolution.

4.1     Resulting from an EBITA Audit.

If, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.3 of this Schedule 1.6, Part A, the Independent Accounting Firm concludes that the Earn-out Payment should have been paid but was not paid when due, in whole or part (other than a shortfall equal to or less than $100,000), within sixty (60) days after the date the Independent Accounting Firm delivers to Parent the Independent Accounting Firm’s written report (a “Shortfall Report”), Parent shall promptly deliver to the Paying Agent for payment to the Company Securityholders cash in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the applicable short fall in the Earn-out Payment, plus interest on such sum at the “prime rate” as published in the Wall Street Journal from time to time, from when the Earn-out Payment should have been paid (if Parent had given notice of achievement of the Earn-out Payment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), as applicable, to the date of actual payment. The decision of such Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on Parent and the Company Securityholders, shall be nonappealable and shall not be subject to further review, absent manifest error.

4.2     Modifications Relating to Parent.

In the event that any Acquisition Proposal involving Parent (substituting references to “Parent” for references to “the Company and the Company Subsidiaries” and references to “50.1%” for references to “15%” in the definition thereof) occurs during any Measurement Period, Parent shall cause Parent’s successor entity or surviving entity to assume the obligations of Parent (and, if Parent survives such transaction, Parent shall remain responsible for such entity’s performance) under Section 1.6 of the Agreement and this Schedule 1.6. The Securityholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Surviving Corporation Securityholders, shall be a third-party beneficiary of such assumption.

4.3     Dispute Resolution.

(a)     In the event of an Earn-Out Default, the Securityholders’ Representative may notify Parent in writing (the “Dispute Resolution Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the basis of the Earn-Out Default and the amount, nature and basis of any Damages resulting from such Earn-Out Default, which Damages, solely for purposes of this Schedule 1.6 may include any special, incidental or consequential damages resulting from such Earn-Out Default, provided that any such special, incidental or consequential damages shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount of all Earn-Out Payments payable under this Schedule 1.6.

(b)     Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such differences regarding the Earn-Out Default and the determination of any Damages resulting therefrom for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after Parent’s receipt of the Dispute Resolution Notice. If Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative are unable to resolve such dispute with such thirty (30) calendar day period, then either party may, by written notice, invoke an arbitration process which will be conducted as follows:

(i)       Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative will select and agree upon a mutually acceptable independent third party who is neutral, disinterested and impartial for the applicable dispute (the “Mediator”). If Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative are unable to mutually agree upon a Mediator within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the request for arbitration, then upon request by either Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative, the Mediator will be an arbitrator appointed by Judicial and Mediation Services (“JAMS”). Once the Mediator has been selected, each of Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative will within ten (10) days following selection of the Mediator provide the Mediator and the other party with a written report setting forth its position with respect to the substance of the dispute (including the basis of the Earn-Out Default and the calculation of Damages) and may submit a revised or updated report and position to the Mediator within ten (10) days of receiving the other party’s report. If so requested by the Mediator, each party will make oral submissions to the Mediator based on such party’s written report, and each party will have the right to be present during any such oral submissions.

(ii)      In the event the Mediator is a JAMS arbitrator selected by JAMS as provided in this Schedule 1.6, the matter will be conducted as a binding arbitration in accordance with JAMS procedures, as modified by this Schedule 1.6 (including that the arbitrator will adopt as his or her decision the position of one party or the other, as described below).  In such event, the arbitrator may retain a third party expert with relevant diagnostics industry experience for the Mediator to assist in rendering such decision, and the expenses of any such expert will be shared by the parties as costs of the arbitration as provided in this Schedule 1.6.

(iii)     The Mediator will, no later than fifteen (15) days after the last submission of the written reports and, if any, oral submissions, select either Parent or the Securityholders’ Representative’s position as his or her final decision, and will not have the authority to modify either party’s position or render any substantive decision other than to so select the position of either party as set forth in their respective written report (as initially submitted, or as revised in accordance with this Schedule 1.6, as applicable).  The decision of the Mediator will be the sole, exclusive and binding remedy between them regarding the dispute submitted to such Mediator.

(iv)     Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative, the in-person portion (if any) of such proceedings will be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts. The parties agree that they will share equally the costs and fees of the Mediator in connection with any proceeding under this Schedule 1.6, including the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees, the cost of any independent expert retained by the arbitrator and the cost of the arbitrator and administrative fees of JAMS if applicable.  Each party will bear its own costs and attorneys’ and witnesses’ fees and associated costs and expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding under this Schedule 1.6.

(v)     The parties will use, and will direct the Mediator to use, commercially reasonable efforts to resolve a dispute within forty-five (45) days after the selection of the Mediator, or if resolution within forty-five (45) days is not reasonably achievable, as determined by the Mediator, then as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable.
