(i)                                     Within 30 days after the delivery of the Resolution Notice, the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall each propose an amount of Closing Net Working Capital and/or Closing Cash, as applicable, to the Unaffiliated Firm, together with the reasons therefor, in writing.  The Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Cash proposed by the Buyer shall not differ from the Buyer’s Closing Net Working Capital and the Buyer’s Closing Cash, respectively, other than for those changes agreed to in writing by the Sellers’ Representative, and the Closing Net Working Capital and the Closing Cash proposed by the Sellers’ Representative shall not differ from the Sellers’ Representative’s proposed amounts of Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Cash, respectively, set forth in the Closing Statement Dispute Notice, other than for those changes agreed to in writing by the Buyer.  Each of the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall furnish to the Unaffiliated Firm such workpapers and other documents and information under its or his control or available to it or him and its or his Affiliates as the Unaffiliated Firm may request for the purposes of determining the Closing Net Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash, as applicable.

(ii)                                  The amount determined by the Unaffiliated Firm (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) shall not be higher than the higher of the proposed amounts of Closing Net Working Capital or lower than the lower of the proposed amounts of Closing Net Working Capital, as applicable, and shall thereupon be the Closing Net Working Capital.  The amount determined by the Unaffiliated Firm (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) shall not be higher than the higher of the proposed amounts of Closing Cash or lower than the lower of the proposed amounts of Closing Cash, as applicable, and shall thereupon be the Closing Cash.  The Parties will instruct the Unaffiliated Firm to render its decision no later than 30 days after the submission to the Unaffiliated Firm under Section 2.6(d)(i).

(iii)                               At any time after the determination of the Closing Net Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash, as applicable, has been submitted to the Unaffiliated Firm, the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative may agree on the Closing Net Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash, as applicable, and direct the Unaffiliated Firm to not render any decision.

Any determination of the Closing Net Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.6, whether by agreement between the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, by operation of the second sentence of Section 2.6(d), or by the

21

Unaffiliated Firm, shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties.  The Closing Net Working Capital determined as set forth in the preceding sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Closing Net Working Capital.” The Closing Cash determined as set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Closing Cash.”

(e)                                  The fees and expenses of the Unaffiliated Firm for its services and expenses under this Section 2.6 shall be shared and paid one-half by the Buyer and one-half by the Sellers’ Representative.

(g)                                  Promptly,  but in any event not more than five (5) Business Days, after the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital and the Final Closing Cash in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.6:

(i)                                     If there is a Final Shortfall, the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Indemnity Escrow Agent to pay to the Buyer the amount of such Final Shortfall from the Indemnity Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by the Buyer; provided that, to the extent the Final Shortfall exceeds $8,400,000, the Buyer may elect that the Final Shortfall be paid (i) first, from the Indemnity Escrow Account in an amount equal to $8,400,000 and (ii) second, the remainder from the Sellers, pro rata based on the Sellers’ Allocation Schedule, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by the Buyer.

(ii)                                  If there is a Final Surplus, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative the amount of such Final Surplus by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Sellers’ Representative, for the benefit of the Sellers, and the Sellers’ Representative shall distribute to each Seller its or his pro rata portion based on its or his Company Unit Ownership Percentages or in accordance with the Sellers’ Allocation Schedule.

Section 2.7.                                 Withholding.  The Buyer and the Company will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document (including payments of the Purchase Price and releases of the Indemnity Escrow Fund) such amounts as the Buyer or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) shall determine in good faith they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Laws.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer or the Company, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.

(iii)                               Nothing herein shall prohibit Buyer from seeking to replace all or a portion of the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing with proceeds from a public

48

or private offering of equity or debt securities consummated prior to the expiration of the Extension Period (a “Securities Financing”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Extension Period” shall mean an extension of the Closing Date (and if the extension would result in a Closing Date beyond the Termination Date, an extension of the Termination Date) of up to ten (10) Business Days in order to allow the Buyer the opportunity to close its Debt Financing, Alternative Financing or Securities Financing; provided that such Extension Period shall not commence unless the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.1 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing).  If the Extension Period has not expired and a Securities Financing has not closed on or prior to May 11, 2015, then the Extension Period shall be deemed to have been tolled as of such date, and the Extension Period shall begin to run again when the Company has delivered the S-X Business Financials in accordance with Section 6.10(a) hereof; provided, however, that in the event the Extension Period is tolled, in no event shall the remaining period following the delivery of the S-X Business Financials be less than two (2) Business Days.

(iv)                              The Buyer shall give the Company prompt written notice of any material breach by any party to the Debt Commitment (or commitments for any Alternative Financing obtained in accordance with this Section 6.8(a)) of which the Buyer becomes aware or any termination of the Debt Commitment (or commitments for any Alternative Financing obtained in accordance with this Section 6.8(a)).  The Buyer shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange and consummate the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing or Securities Financing obtained in accordance with this Section 6.8(a)).

(b)                                 Company Obligations.  Prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide to the Buyer, and shall cause the officers, employees and representatives of the Company to provide to the Buyer, cooperation and information reasonably requested by the Buyer that is necessary or reasonably required in connection with any Debt Financing, Alternative Financing or Securities Financing by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the following: (i) using reasonable best efforts to cause the Company’s senior officers and other representatives to participate in meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions (including accounting due diligence sessions), drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies; (ii) providing direct contact between (x) senior management and advisors, including auditors, of the Company and (y) the proposed lenders, underwriters, initial purchasers or placement agents, as applicable, and/or the Buyer’s or any of its Affiliate’s auditors in connection with the Debt Financing, Alternative Financing or Securities Financing; (iii) providing access to the electronic data room maintained by the Company to the Debt Financing Sources on a confidential basis; (iv) providing monthly financial statements (excluding footnotes) to the extent the Company customarily prepares such financial statements within the time such statements are customarily prepared; and (v) using reasonable best efforts to cause the Company’s independent accountants to cooperate with and assist the Buyer in preparing customary and appropriate information packages and offering materials as the parties to the Debt Commitment or other parties participating in the Debt Financing, Alternative Financing or Securities Financing may reasonably request; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall require such cooperation to the extent it would, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company.  The Buyer

49

shall, promptly upon written request by Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs to the extent such costs are incurred by the Company in connection with such cooperation provided by the Company, its officers, employees and other representatives pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.8(c) or in connection with compliance with its obligations under this Section 6.8(c) and the Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, employees and representatives from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than arising from information provided by the Sellers’ Representative or the Company), except in the event such liabilities or losses arose out of or result from the willful misconduct of the Company or any of their respective representatives.  The Company hereby consents to the use of its logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that the Company reasonably approves the manner in which the logos are used and such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or the reputation or goodwill of the Company and its marks.

Section 6.9.                                 Financial Information.   Subject to the provisions of Section 6.10(a), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Buyer (a) within two (2) Business Days after the date hereof, a true and correct copy of the unaudited balance sheet and statement of income of the Company as of, and for the calendar month ended March 31, 2015, without footnotes, prepared consistently with the Company’s accounting policies and procedures, determined in accordance with GAAP (provided that such balance sheet and statement of income shall be subject to normal year-end adjustments), and (b) within 15 days following the end of each calendar month following the date hereof until the Closing Date, a true and correct copy of the unaudited balance sheet and statement of income of the Company as of, and for the calendar month then ended, without footnotes, prepared consistently with the Company’s accounting policies and procedures, determined in accordance with GAAP (provided that such balance sheet and statement of income shall be subject to normal year-end adjustments).

Section 6.10.                          Regulation S-X Compliant Financial Statements.

(a)                                 The Company and the Sellers acknowledge that the Buyer will be required to include audited and interim financial statements of the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act and any registration statement filed with the SEC by the Buyer pursuant to the Securities Act.  The Financial Statements are attached as Schedule 3.6(a) to the Disclosure Schedule.  If the Extension Period has not expired and a Securities Financing with aggregate proceeds to the Buyer of at least $300,000,000 has not closed on or prior to May 11, 2015, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, including the notes thereto, as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than May 22, 2015 (together with the Financial Statements, the “S-X Business Financials”).

(b)                                 The Company and the Sellers’ Representative will cooperate with the Buyer’s reasonable requests in connection with the Buyer’s compliance with applicable Laws with respect to the transactions hereunder, including providing access to the Company’s

50

management upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours to assist with SEC reporting obligations of the transactions hereunder, including the preparation by the Buyer of pro forma financial statements, addressing purchase accounting issues and preparation of any SEC waiver letters.  In addition, the Company and the Sellers’ Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company Accountants to cooperate with the Buyer to the extent necessary in connection with this Section 6.10, including to deliver to the Buyer any consent that the Buyer is required to file with the SEC with respect to the S-X Business Financials and the reference to them as “experts” in any filing of the Buyer with the SEC that includes or incorporates by reference the S-X Business Financials and deliver any customary “comfort letter” with respect to any debt and/or equity financing by the Buyer; provided, however, that so long as the Company and the Sellers’ Representative have used their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company Accountants to cooperate with the Buyer, the failure of the Company Accountants to deliver the consent shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1.                                 The Sellers’ Indemnification Obligations.

(a)                                 Subject to the provisions of this Article 9, after the Closing, the Sellers, severally and not jointly and in accordance with their respective Company Unit Ownership Percentages, agree to defend, reimburse, indemnify, and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties against and in respect of all Adverse Consequences that may be incurred or suffered by or imposed on any Buyer Indemnified Party that result from, relate to, or arise out of:

(i)                                     any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Company and the Sellers in Article 3 of this Agreement;

(ii)                                  any breach by the Company, the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative of any of its or his covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document;

(iii)                               any Indemnified Taxes;

(iv)                              any unpaid Company Indebtedness; and

(v)                                 any unpaid Sellers’ Transaction Expenses.

(b)                                 Subject to the provisions of this Article 9, after the Closing, each Seller agrees to defend, reimburse, indemnify, and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties against and in respect of all Adverse Consequences that may be incurred or suffered by or imposed on any Buyer Indemnified Party that result from, relate to, or arise out of any breach of a Seller Fundamental Representation made by such Seller.

Section 9.2.                                 The Buyer’s Indemnification Obligations.  Subject to the provisions of this Article 9, after the Closing, the Buyer agrees to defend, reimburse, indemnify, and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties against and in respect of all Adverse Consequences that may be incurred or suffered by or imposed on any Seller Indemnified Party that result from, relate to, or arise out of:

57

(a)                                 any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement; and

(b)                                 any breach by the Buyer of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document.

Section 9.3.                                 Indemnification Procedure.

(a)                                 If, subsequent to the Closing, any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) asserts a claim for indemnification for or receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Third Party Claim as to which such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification under this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall give reasonably prompt written notice of such claim to the Party from whom indemnification is to be sought (an “Indemnifying Party”), together with a statement of any available information regarding such claim.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party (the “Defense Notice”) within 15 days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of notice of such claim, by which notice the Indemnifying Party shall specify the counsel it will appoint to defend such claim (“Defense Counsel”), to conduct at its expense the defense against such Third Party Claim in its own name, or if necessary in the name of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve the Defense Counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party delivers a Defense Notice to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel and participate in the defense of such, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party.  As a condition precedent to the Indemnifying Party’s right to assume control over the defense of a Third Party Claim, (i) it must furnish the Indemnified Party with reasonable evidence that the Indemnifying Party is and will be able to satisfy any such liability and (ii) acknowledge its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, which counsel is subject to the approval of the Sellers’ Representative (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), if the claim which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (i) seeks non-monetary relief, (ii) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations unless such allegations are also made against Mr. Loeb or any of the Sellers or (iii) involves a claim which, upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend.

(b)                                 If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to give a Defense Notice, it shall be deemed to have elected not to conduct the defense of the subject Third Party Claim, and in such event the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct such defense in good faith.  If the Indemnified Party defends any Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the costs and expenses of defending such Third Party Claim upon submission of periodic bills.  If the Indemnifying Party elects to conduct the defense of the

subject Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or in the reasonable written opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation required under the ethical rules governing attorneys; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third Party Claim.

(c)                                  Regardless of which Party defends a Third Party Claim, the other Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim, assisted by counsel of its own choosing.  The Indemnified Party shall not compromise, settle, default on, or admit liability with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and, if the Indemnified Party settles, compromises, defaults on, or admits liability with respect to a Third Party Claim except in compliance with the foregoing, the Indemnified Party will be liable for all costs, expenses, settlement amounts, or other Adverse Consequences paid or incurred in connection therewith and the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect thereto.  The Indemnifying Party shall not compromise or settle a Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such compromise or settlement includes as a term thereof an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and such compromise or release does not impose any non-monetary obligations on the Indemnified Party (and all monetary obligations are subject to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement) in which case the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required.

(d)                                 After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Third Party Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice.

(e)                                  To the extent that there is an inconsistency between this Section 9.3 and Section 10.5 as it relates to a Tax Claim or a Tax Contest, the provisions of Section 10.5 shall govern.

Section 9.4.                                 Direct Claims.  It is the intent of the Parties that all direct claims by an Indemnified Party against a Party not arising out of Third Party Claims shall be subject to and benefit from the terms of this Article 9.  Any claim under this Article 9 by an Indemnified Party for indemnification other than indemnification against a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, and the Indemnifying Party will have a period of thirty (30) days within which to satisfy such Direct

59

Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party under this Article 8.

Section 9.5.                                 Failure to Give Timely Notice.  A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete, or accurate notice as provided in Section 9.3 or 9.4 shall not affect the rights or obligations of either Party hereunder except to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Party entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or was otherwise materially adversely affected or damaged as a result of such failure to give timely, complete, and accurate notice.

Section 9.6.                                 Reduction of Adverse Consequences.  The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to collect the proceeds of any insurance that would have the effect of reducing any Adverse Consequences (in which case such proceeds shall reduce such Adverse Consequences).  To the extent any Adverse Consequences of an Indemnified Party are reduced by receipt of payment under insurance policies, such payments (net of the expenses of the recovery thereof) shall be credited against such Adverse Consequences and, if indemnification payments shall have been received prior to the collection of such proceeds, the Indemnified Party shall remit to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such payments (net of the expenses of the recovery thereof) to the extent of indemnification payments received in respect of such Adverse Consequences.

Section 9.7.                                 Limitations on Indemnities.

(a)                                 The Sellers shall not have any liability pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Adverse Consequences subject to this Section 9.7(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount, and then the Sellers shall have liability for all Adverse Consequences in excess of the Threshold Amount up to an amount equal to the Indemnity Cap Amount; provided that this Section 9.7(a) shall not apply to a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Capitalization), Section 3.3(a) (Authorization of Transaction), Section 3.4 (Brokers’ Fees) or Section 3.5 (Subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Company Fundamental Representations”), Section 4.1 (Capitalization) or 4.2(a) (Authorization of Transaction) (collectively, the “Seller Fundamental Representations”) or Section 3.8 (Taxes).

(b)                                 The Buyer shall not have any liability pursuant to Section 9.2(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Adverse Consequences subject to this Section 9.7(b) exceeds the Threshold Amount, and then the Buyer shall have liability for all Adverse Consequences in excess of the Threshold Amount up to an amount equal to the Indemnity Cap Amount; provided that this Section 9.7(b) shall not apply to a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.1 (Organization) or Section 5.2(a) (Authorization of Transaction) (collectively, the “Buyer Fundamental Representations”).

(c)                                  Each Seller’s liability pursuant to Sections 9.1(a)(i) and 9.1(b) shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price received by such Seller; provided that this Section 9.7(c) shall not apply in the event of fraud on the part of any of the Sellers.

60

(d)                                 For purposes of calculating Adverse Consequences hereunder, any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications in the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall be ignored.

Section 9.8.                                 Claims Made Against the Indemnity Escrow Fund.  All claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 shall first be satisfied to the maximum extent possible from the then remaining amount of the Indemnity Escrow Fund.  If, and to the extent, that the Indemnity Escrow Fund has been exhausted (or would be exhausted if one or more pending claims by the Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1 are resolved in favor of the Buyer), then the Buyer may assert a claim for any amount exceeding the Indemnity Escrow Amount directly against the Sellers and the obligations of each Seller with respect thereto shall be several but not joint in nature based on the Company Unit Ownership Percentage of each Seller of the amount of such claim in excess of the Indemnity Escrow Amount.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to claims for indemnification by the Buyer arising out of breaches of the Seller Fundamental Representations, the Buyer shall not seek recovery against the Indemnity Escrow Fund and shall instead have the right to demand satisfaction of such claimed amount directly from the breaching Seller.

Section 9.9.                                 Survival.

(a)                                 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.9, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall expire on, and any claim for indemnification with respect thereto must be brought before, the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date.

(b)                                 The Company Fundamental Representations, the Seller Fundamental Representations and the Buyer Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing indefinitely.

(c)                                  The Company’s and the Sellers’ representations and warranties contained in Section 3.8 (Taxes) shall expire on, and any claim for indemnification with respect thereto must be brought before, the date that is six (6) months following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(d)                                 All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely.

ARTICLE 10

TAX MATTERS

Section 10.1.                          Apportionment of Taxes.   For purposes of determining the amount of Taxes that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of any Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date) the parties agree as follows:

(a)                                 In the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis for a Straddle Period, the amounts that are attributable to the portion of the

61

Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

(b)                                 In the case of all other Taxes (including income Taxes, employment Taxes, and sales and use Taxes) for a Straddle Period, the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Company filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology.”  For purposes of clause (b), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the effects of graduated rates) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the mechanics set forth in clause (a) for periodic Taxes.

(c)                                  In the case of all Taxes in the form of interest or penalties that relate to Taxes attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date), all such Taxes shall be treated as occurring in a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) whether such items are incurred, accrued, assessed or similarly charged on, before or after the Closing Date.

Section 10.2.                          Cooperation.   With respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date), the Buyer, the Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) (a) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of the Company; (b) assist in any audit or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company (whether or not a Tax Contest); (c) make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company; (d) provide any information necessary or reasonably requested to allow the Buyer or the Company to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in applicable Laws; and (e) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax.

Section 10.3.                          Transfer Taxes. All federal, state, local, non-U.S. transfer, excise, sales, use, ad valorem value added, registration, stamp, recording, property and similar Taxes or fees applicable to, imposed upon, or arising out of the transfer of the shares in the Company or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement and all related interest and penalties (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid 50% by the Sellers and 50% by the Buyer.

Section 10.4.                          Tax Returns.

(a)                                 The Sellers’ Representative, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all (i) Tax Returns for the Company due on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) the IRS Form 1065 (and any comparable state and local Tax Returns) of the Company for any taxable periods ending, or deemed to end, on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Flow-Through Returns” and, collectively with the returns in (i), the “Pre-Closing Returns”).  All Pre-Closing Returns shall be prepared in accordance with existing procedures and practices of the Company with respect to the treatment of specific items

62

on the returns, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.  Each Flow-Through Return due after the Closing Date shall be submitted to the Buyer, for the Buyer’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of such Flow-Through Return and the Sellers’ Representative shall consider in good faith any of the Buyer’s comments.  To the extent required by Law, the Buyer shall cause the Company to file, in the form approved by the Buyer, all Pre-Closing Returns prepared by the Sellers’ Representative and timely delivered to the Buyer in accordance with this Section 10.4(a).

(b)                                 The Buyer shall cause the Company to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of the Company due after the Closing Date other than Pre-Closing Returns (the “Buyer Prepared Returns”).  To the extent that a Buyer Prepared Return relates to a Straddle Period, such Tax Return shall be prepared in accordance with existing procedures and practices of the Company with respect to the treatment of specific items on such Buyer Prepared Returns, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.  Each Buyer Prepared Return that shows an Indemnified Tax and is not prepared in accordance with existing procedures and practices of the Company shall be submitted to the Sellers’ Representative for the review and comment of the Sellers’ Representative at least ten (10) days prior to the due date of such Tax Return and Buyer shall incorporate any reasonable comments made by Sellers’ Representative to such Buyer Prepared Return.  No failure or delay of the Buyer in providing Buyer Prepared Returns for the review of the Sellers’ Representative shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent Sellers were actually prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(c)                                  Following the Closing, the Buyer agrees not to cause the Company to amend or modify any Pre-Closing Tax Return without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative if the effect of such amendment or modification could be to increase the Taxes of the Company or Sellers for which Sellers could be liable (including pursuant to this Article 10), unless required to do so by a final determination of an applicable Governmental Entity.

Section 10.5.                          Tax Contests.

(a)                                 If any Governmental Entity issues to the Company (i) a written notice of its intent to audit or conduct another Proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or (ii) a written notice of deficiency for Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period (a “Tax Claim”), the Buyer or the Company shall notify the Sellers’ Representative of its receipt of such communication from the Governmental Entity within thirty (30) days of receipt.  No failure or delay of the Buyer or the Company in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent the Sellers are actually prejudiced by such failure or delay.  The Company shall control any audit or other Proceeding in respect of any Taxes of the Company (a “Tax Contest”); provided, however, if the Tax Contest relates to a Flow-Through Return of the Company, the Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to assume control of such Tax Contest if within ten (10) days of receiving notice of the Tax Contest, the Sellers’ Representative notifies the Buyer of its intent to take control of such Tax Contest.

(b)                                 If the Sellers’ Representative does not control a Tax Contest for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (i) the Company shall control such Tax Contest in good faith; (ii) the

63

Sellers’ Representative shall have the right, at the sole cost and expense of the Sellers, to participate in such Tax Contest; (iii) the Buyer and the Company shall keep the Sellers’ Representative reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest; and (iv) the Buyer shall not allow the Company to settle, resolve, or abandon such Tax Contest if it would result in the Sellers paying any Taxes hereunder without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(c)                                  If the Sellers’ Representative controls a Tax Contest pursuant to Section 10.5(a), (i) the Sellers’ Representative shall control such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith; (ii) the Sellers shall bear all costs and expenses in connection with such Tax Contest; (iii) the Sellers’ Representative shall keep the Buyer reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest; (iv) the Buyer shall have the right to participate, or cause the Company to participate, in such Tax Contest; and (v) the Sellers’ Representative shall not, without the Buyer’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), settle, resolve or abandon (or allow the Company to settle, resolve or abandon) the Tax Contest (or any portion thereof).  If Buyer fails to consent to any proposed settlement, the Buyer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses, including fees and expenses of Sellers’ counsel, and any Taxes incurred by the Company or the Sellers in excess of the proposed settlement amount.

Section 10.6.                          Purchase Price Allocation.  For income Tax purposes, the parties agree that, in accordance with IRS Revenue Ruling 99-6 (Situation 2), the Buyer shall be treated as acquiring the assets of the Company (the “Purchased Assets”) , and the Sellers shall be treated as selling their respective interests in the Company to the Buyer.  Within sixty (60) days after the determination of Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a schedule allocating the Purchase Price and applicable covenants in Section 10.2 (and any assumed liabilities of the Company) among the Purchased Assets for income Tax purposes in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”).  If the Sellers’ Representative disputes any amounts as shown on the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to Buyer within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule a notice (the “Allocation Schedule Dispute Notice”) setting forth the Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule and components thereof and describing in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such different amount.  If the Seller’s Representative does not deliver an Allocation Schedule Dispute Notice to Buyer within such thirty (30) day period, then the Allocation Notice provided by Buyer and the components thereof shall be deemed to be the final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule.  Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any differences and if they are unable to resolve such differences within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Allocation Schedule Dispute Notice, then the Unaffiliated Firm shall make the final determination of the allocation, but only taking into account the positions of the parties.  The Buyer and each Seller shall report, act, and file all Tax Returns and information reports consistently with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule (as appropriately adjusted) and shall not take any position during the course of any audit or other Proceeding that is inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, unless required to do so by applicable Law or a final determination of an applicable Governmental Entity.  The Buyer and the Seller shall make

64

appropriate adjustments to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule to reflect adjustments to the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE 11

TERMINATION

Section 11.1.                          Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement may, by written notice given prior to or at the Closing, be terminated as follows:

(a)                                 by the Sellers’ Representative:

(i)                                     if the Buyer breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein such that the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) would not be satisfied and such breach is incapable of being cured by the Termination Date; provided that the Sellers’ Representative shall have given the Buyer at least 30 days’ written notice prior to such termination stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(a)(i); and provided further that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(a)(i) if the Company, any Seller or the Sellers’ Representative is then in material breach of any of its or his covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; or

(ii)                                  (x) if all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing but which conditions would be satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such termination), (y) the Company has irrevocably certified by written notice to the Buyer that all conditions in Section 8.2 have been waived or satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing but which conditions would be satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such termination) and that the Sellers are prepared to consummate the Closing and (z) the Buyer has failed to consummate the Closing within two (2) Business Days following the later of (i) the delivery of such notice; and (ii) the final day of the Extension Period; provided that such conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 remain satisfied and such irrevocable certification remains in full force and effect at the close of business on such third (3rd) Business Day;

(b)                                 by the Buyer if the Company, any Seller or the Sellers’ Representative breaches any of its or his representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein such that the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(c) would not be satisfied and such breach is incapable of being cured by the Termination Date; provided that the Buyer shall have given the Sellers’ Representative at least 30 days written notice prior to such termination stating the Buyer’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(b); and provided further that the Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) if the Buyer is then in material breach of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(c)                                  by mutual consent of the Buyer and the Company;

65

(d)                                 by either the Buyer or the Company if the Closing has not occurred on or before July 20, 2015, subject to extension pursuant to Section 6.8(a)(iii) (the “Termination Date”); provided that a Party may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(d) if any action of such Party or the failure of such Party (including, for purposes of the Company, any action or failure of any Seller or the Sellers’ Representative) to perform any of its or his obligations under this Agreement required to be performed at or prior to the Closing has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date and such action or failure to perform constitutes a breach of this Agreement; or

(e)                                  by the Company or the Buyer if there shall be in effect a final nonappealable order, injunction, judgment, decree, ruling, writ, assessment or arbitration award of a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.2.                          Effect of Termination.

(a)                                 Upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1, this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by any of the Parties hereto; provided that the provisions of this Article 11, the second sentence of Section 5.4, Article 12 and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive such termination.  If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, none of the Parties hereto shall have any further obligation or liability to the other Parties hereto, except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the following sentence and Section 11.2(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except with respect to a Financing Termination, each of the parties shall be entitled to any remedy to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity for the violation or breach by any other party of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, and if any party shall bring an action to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing or successful party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in such action.

(b)                                 Reverse Termination Fee.

(i)                                     In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii) as a result of a Financing Termination, then the Buyer shall pay $25,200,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”) to the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days following such termination) by wire transfer of same day funds.  In no event shall the Company be entitled to the Reverse Termination Fee on more than one occasion.  The Parties agree that the Reverse Termination Fee is a liquidated damage and not a penalty and the payment of the Reverse Termination Fee in the circumstances specified herein is supported by due and sufficient consideration.

(ii)                                  The Company’s right to receive payment of the Reverse Termination Fee from the Buyer shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, the Sellers, the Sellers’ Representative and their Affiliates against the Buyer, the Debt Financing Sources or any of the Buyer’s or any Debt Financing Source’s former, current or future directors, officers, employees, agents, stockholders, representatives, Affiliates

66

or assignees or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder, representative, Affiliate or assignee of any of the foregoing for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform under this Agreement or otherwise and, upon payment of such amount, none of the Buyer, the Debt Financing Sources or their respective Affiliates shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 11.2(b)(ii) shall limit the right of the Company (x) to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding for injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to the extent provided in Section 12.9, unless the Company has terminated the Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii) and the Reverse Termination Fee has been paid in accordance with Section 11.3(b)(i), or (y) to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates arising out of a breach of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(iii)                               In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii) for any reason other than a Financing Termination, then in lieu of any other remedies available to Sellers, Sellers may elect to be paid the Reverse Termination Fee by providing notice in writing to Buyer within five (5) business days of such termination of its election to receive the Reverse Termination Fee.  If Sellers so elect, Sellers waive any and all other rights and remedies which Sellers may have as a result of the Buyer’s default under this Agreement.

(c)                                  In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii), each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 11.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  In the event that the Buyer shall fail to pay the Reverse Termination Fee when due, the Buyer shall reimburse the Company for all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by the Company (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with any action (including the filing of any lawsuit) taken to collect payment of such amounts, together with interest on such unpaid amounts at the prime rate in effect on the date such payment was required to be made (as reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus 5%, calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid to the date of actual payment.

ARTICLE 12

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1.                          Press Releases and Public Announcements.  No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement prior to the Closing without the prior written approval of the Buyer or the Company, as applicable, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that (a) immediately following the execution hereof, the Buyer and the Company will jointly issue a press release announcing their entry into this Agreement and (b) any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable Law, the SEC or any listing or trading agreement or the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated securities quotation system concerning its publicly-traded securities (in which case the disclosing Party

67

will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the SEC or any such listing or trading agreement, rules or regulations, use its commercially reasonable efforts to advise the other Parties prior to making the disclosure).

Section 12.2.                          No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except as specifically provided in Section 11.2(b)(ii) and Section 12.8(c) of this Agreement (with respect to which each Debt Financing Source shall be a third-party beneficiary) shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 12.3.                          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the Disclosure Schedule, the Ancillary Documents, the Confidentiality Agreement and all documents and certificates to be delivered pursuant hereto collectively constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede any prior negotiations, understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.

Section 12.4.                          Succession and Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer may, without the approval of any other Party to this Agreement, but with prior notice to the Sellers’ Representative, assign this Agreement and any or all rights, interests or obligations hereunder (including the Buyer’s rights to purchase the Units and the Buyer’s rights to seek indemnification hereunder) to any Affiliate of the Buyer and may make a collateral assignment of this Agreement to any Person from which it has borrowed money.  If the Buyer assigns this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder, the Buyer shall remain liable to Sellers and the Company for all of the Buyer’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement.  Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to the Buyer shall refer to such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

Section 12.5.                          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission and in a PDF transmitted by electronic mail) in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 12.6.                          Headings.  The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 12.7.                          Notices.  All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder will be in writing.  Any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly given if it is sent: (a) by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (b) by facsimile or e-mail, (c) by personal delivery, or (d) by commercial delivery service, and, in each case, addressed to the intended recipient as set forth below:

Section 12.9.                          Specific Performance.

(a)                                 The Parties acknowledge that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Party may have no adequate remedy at law.  Accordingly, the Parties agree that, subject to Section 11.3(b) and Section 12.9(b), each Party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of

71

this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy.  Each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing (or anything to the contrary in this Agreement), it is explicitly agreed that the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance (or other equitable relief) to cause the Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 2.4), in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, only in the event that (i) the Buyer is required to complete the Closing pursuant to Section 2.4, (ii) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing, and (iii) the Buyer fails to complete the Closing pursuant to Section 2.4.

Section 12.10.                   Reliance.

(i)                                     A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative shall constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction from all of the Sellers signatory to this Agreement and the Representative Agreement and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of the Sellers.  The Buyer shall be fully protected in dealing with the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement and may rely upon the authority of the Sellers’ Representative to act as the agent of the Sellers and the Buyer shall have no liability whatsoever to the Sellers for any action or omission of the Buyer, taken in reliance on the authority of the Sellers’ Representative.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any payment by the Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative to the extent authorized under this Agreement shall be considered a payment by the Buyer to the Sellers, and any consent, waiver and amendment, modification or other action of the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement shall be considered the consent, waiver, amendment, modification or other action of all the Sellers, as applicable.  The appointment of the Sellers’ Representative is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable by any Seller in any manner or for any reason.  This power of attorney shall not be affected by the death, illness, dissolution, disability, incapacity or other inability to act of the principal pursuant to any applicable law.  In furtherance of the foregoing, any reference herein to a power of the Sellers under this Agreement, to be exercised or otherwise taken, shall be a power vested in the Sellers’ Representative.

(ii)                                  The Sellers’ Representative may retain a portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of $100,000 in cash as a reserve against the payment of expenses incurred in his capacity as Sellers’ Representative (the “Sellers’ Representative Fund”).  Upon final distribution of funds from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the Sellers’ Representative will distribute the amount remaining in the Sellers’ Representative Fund in accordance with the provisions of the Representative Agreement.

Section 12.11.                   Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative; provided that any amendment of Section 11.2(b)(ii), Section 12.2, Section 12.8(c) or this Section 12.11 shall require the prior written consent of the Financing Sources.  No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or

72

covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any such prior or subsequent occurrence.

Section 12.12.                   Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid or unenforceable, the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

Section 12.13.                   Expenses.  Except as otherwise provided herein, each of the Buyer, the Company, the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative will bear its or his own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses and transfer Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 12.14.                   Construction.  The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12.15.                   Miscellaneous.  In the event that any restricted Buyer Common Stock does not vest upon the terms set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreements and the Buyer does not allocate any such restricted Buyer Common Stock to any remaining Retention Employees on a pro rata basis among such remaining Retention Employees, the Buyer shall, promptly after receipt of a request from the Sellers’ Representative, deliver to the Sellers’ Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by the Sellers’ Representative for distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Company Unit Ownership Percentages or as set forth on the Sellers’ Allocation Schedule, an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of any such restricted Buyer Common Stock, multiplied by (b) the volume weighted average price of the Buyer Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market for the twenty (20) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the Closing Date.
