To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of the Company Subsidiaries under any provision of this Agreement, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipients in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the applicable Company Subsidiary.

Section 2.5 Determination of Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within 90 calendar days after the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Parent’s good faith calculation of the following items (each a “Closing Item”): (i) Cash (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, “Final Cash”), (ii) Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, the “Final Working Capital”); (iii) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the Closing (as finally

determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, “Final Indebtedness”); (iv) the aggregate amount of Transaction Expenses (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, the “Final Transaction Expenses”); and (v) the resulting calculation of the Final Purchase Price. With respect to any Closing Item (and each line item thereof), the exchange rate of any currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be determined based on the published Wall Street Journal rate on the date the Estimated Closing Statement was delivered by the Company to Parent.

(b) From and after the Stockholders’ Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement until the Closing Items are finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Stockholders’ Representative, its Affiliates and their auditors, accountants and other Representatives shall be permitted reasonable access to the Surviving Corporation, its Subsidiaries and their auditors, accountants, personnel, books and records and any other documents or information reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Representative (including the information, data and work papers used by Parent and/or the Company’s auditors or accountants that assisted in the preparation of the Closing Items).

(c) The Stockholders’ Representative shall have 30 calendar days after its receipt of the Closing Statement (the “Review Period”) within which to review Parent’s calculation of the Closing Items. If the Stockholders’ Representative disputes any of the Closing Items, the Stockholders’ Representative shall notify Parent in writing of its objection to such Closing Item(s) within the Review Period, together with a description of the basis for and dollar amount of such disputed items (to the extent reasonably possible) (a “Dispute Notice”). The Closing Items, as set forth in the Closing Statement, shall become final, conclusive and binding on the Parties unless the Stockholders’ Representative delivers to Parent a Dispute Notice within the Review Period. If the Stockholders’ Representative timely delivers a Dispute Notice, any amounts on the Closing Statement not objected to by the Stockholders’ Representative in the Dispute Notice (or by Parent as a result of the items disputed by the Stockholders’ Representative in any such Dispute Notice) shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, and Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall, within 30 calendar days following Parent’s receipt of such Dispute Notice (the “Resolution Period”), use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to attempt to resolve in writing their differences with respect to the matters set forth in the Dispute Notice (and any matters with respect to the Closing Items which Parent is disputing as a result of the matters set forth in the Dispute Notice, or any disputed matters arising out of the foregoing) and any such resolution shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If, at the conclusion of the Resolution Period, any amounts remain in dispute, then each of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall submit all items remaining in dispute to a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative (the “Valuation Firm”) for resolution by delivering within 10 calendar days after the expiration of the Resolution Period to the Valuation Firm their written position with respect to such items remaining in dispute. The fees and expenses of the Valuation Firm pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) shall be divided between Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative in proportion to the proximity of their respective positions to the determination of the Valuation Firm, with such division being determined by the Valuation Firm (it being understood that the Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to pay all such fees out of the Expense Holdback Amount). The Valuation Firm shall determine, based solely on the submissions by the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent, and not by independent review, only those issues set forth in the Dispute Notice that remain in dispute and shall determine a value for any such disputed item

which is equal to or between the final values proposed by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative in their respective submissions. The Parties shall request that the Valuation Firm make a decision with respect to all disputed items within 30 calendar days after the submissions of the Parties, and in any event as promptly as practicable. The final determination with respect to all dispute items shall be set forth in a written statement by the Valuation Firm delivered to Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Parent and the Stockholders. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall promptly execute any reasonable engagement letter requested by the Valuation Firm and shall each cooperate fully with the Valuation Firm, including by providing the information, data and work papers used by each Party to prepare and/or calculate the Closing Items, making its personnel and accountants available to explain any such information, data or work papers, so as to enable the Valuation Firm to make such determination as quickly and as accurately as practicable.

(d) If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Initial Purchase Price (such excess amount, the “Excess Amount”), then, within three Business Days after the Final Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, Parent shall pay (without interest) to each Stockholder who has delivered a Letter of Transmittal and each Warrantholder, in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s account set forth in the Funds Flow, the aggregate portion of the Excess Amount that such Stockholder or Warrantholder, as applicable, is entitled to in accordance with Section 2.5(g). Upon such payment of the Excess Amount by Parent, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent to release to the Stockholders’ and Warrantholders’ accounts set forth in the Funds Flow an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price Adjustment Holdback Amount allocated among the Stockholders and Warrantholders in accordance with Section 2.5(g).

(e) If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Initial Purchase Price (such shortfall amount, the “Shortfall Amount”), Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall, within three Business Days after the Final Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release to the account designated by Parent an aggregate amount equal to the Shortfall Amount from the funds available in the Escrow Account (i.e., first from the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount and, if the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount is less than the Shortfall Amount, such deficit from the Indemnity Holdback Amount). If the Shortfall Amount is less than the Purchase Price Adjustment Holdback Amount (such difference, the “Remaining Holdback Amount”), then Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall include in such joint written instructions that the Escrow Agent release to the Stockholders’ and Warrantholders’ accounts set forth in the Funds Flow an aggregate amount equal to the Remaining Holdback Amount allocated among the Stockholders and Warrantholders in accordance with Section 2.5(g).

(f) Unless the Stockholders’ Representative determines otherwise, on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Stockholders’ Representative shall pay to the Stockholders and Warrantholders an aggregate amount equal to the remaining Expense Holdback Amount allocated among the Stockholders and Warrantholders in accordance with Section 2.5(g).

(g) All amounts payable to the Stockholders and Warrantholders pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be paid as if such amounts had been included in the Closing Merger Consideration.

(h) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be deemed an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price.

Section 2.6 No Further Rights of Transfers. At and after the Effective Time, (a) each Stockholder shall cease to have any rights as an equityholder of the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law and except for the right of each Stockholder to deliver a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal in exchange for payment of the portion of the Merger Consideration such Stockholder is entitled to pursuant to this Agreement in the manner and at the times set forth herein and (b) no transfer of Shares shall be made on the transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. Immediately after the Effective Time, the stock ledger of the Company shall be closed.

Section 2.7 Post-Closing Payments; Section 262 Notices; Dissenting Shares.

(a) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall mail to any Stockholder that has not theretofore executed the Stockholder Approval, an information statement describing the transactions contemplated hereby as provided in Section 228 of the Delaware Corporation Law and request that such Stockholder execute a joinder to the Stockholder Approval adopting this Agreement and waive any appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware Corporation Law. Adoption of this Agreement by the Stockholders shall not restrict the ability of the Company’s board of directors to terminate or amend this Agreement to the extent not prohibited under Section 251(d) of the Delaware Corporation Law.

(b) All Stockholders that have delivered a duly-executed Letter of Transmittal on or prior to the Closing Date shall be paid at the Closing and any Stockholder that delivers a duly-executed Letter of Transmittal after the Closing Date shall be paid (without interest) as promptly as practicable upon delivery of such duly-executed Letter of Transmittal.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by Stockholders who shall not have voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly demanded and are entitled to appraisal for such Shares in accordance with the DGCL shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration. Such Stockholders instead shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL, solely to the extent such Stockholders have perfected and not withdrawn and are otherwise entitled to appraisal in accordance with the DGCL. If any such Stockholder is not entitled to appraisal of such Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with the DGCL or otherwise withdraws such Stockholder’s demand for appraisal, such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, without any interest thereon, the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in the manner provided in this Article II. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Closing pursuant to the

DGCL that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

Parent agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Company Employees to be granted credit for all service with the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (including any predecessors of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) earned prior to the Closing Date for all purposes (but not for purposes of benefit accrual and vesting under a defined benefit pension plan) under any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement that is sponsored by or may be established or maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation, its subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates on or after the Closing Date (the “New Plans”) provided that such service credit is permissible under applicable Law. In addition, Parent hereby agrees that Parent shall, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, (a) cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusion and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by a Company Employee (or covered dependent thereof) under any similar Employee Benefit Plan, as the case may be, as of the Closing Date and (b) cause any deductible, co-insurance and out-of-pocket covered expenses paid on or before the Closing Date by any Company Employee (or covered dependent thereof) to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable New Plan in the year of initial participation that begins during the New Plan year in which the Closing Date occurs. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary any right to continued employment for any period or continued receipt of any specific employee benefit, or shall constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any New Plan, Employee Benefit Plan or Non-U.S. Employee Benefit Plan. The provisions of this Section 5.4 are not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto or otherwise to create any third-party beneficiary hereto. After the Closing, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their subsidiaries shall be solely responsible for any obligations arising under Section 4980B of the Code with respect to all “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9. With respect to any Company Employee whose terms and conditions of employment are subject to a works council, labor or collective bargaining agreement, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries to, honor the terms of all such works council, labor or collective bargaining agreements by which the Surviving Corporation or the Company Subsidiaries are bound in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 5.5 Indemnity; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance; Fiduciary and Employee Benefit Insurance.

(a) Parent acknowledges that (i) each person that at any time prior to the Closing served as a director, officer, manager, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or who, at the request of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, served as a director, officer, manager, member, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (collectively, with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, the “Indemnified Persons”) is entitled to indemnification, expense reimbursement and exculpation to the extent provided in the governing documents of the Company and each Company Subsidiary in effect as of the date hereof (“D&O Provisions”), (ii) such D&O Provisions are rights of contract and (iii) no amendment or modification to any such D&O Provisions shall affect in any manner the Indemnified Persons’ rights, or the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s, as the case may be, obligations, with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing.

(b) At or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall obtain and maintain in effect for a period of six years thereafter, (i) a tail policy to the current policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing, and which tail policy shall contain substantially the same coverage and amounts as, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous than, in the aggregate, the coverage currently provided by such current policy and (ii) “run off” coverage as provided by the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ fiduciary and employee benefits policies, in each case, covering those Persons who are covered on the date hereof by such policies and with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less advantageous than the coverage provided under the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ existing policies (collectively, the “Tail Policy”). No claims made under or in respect of such Tail Policy shall be settled (to the extent the Tail Policy gives the Parties the power to prevent such settlement) without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 5.6 Press Release. Any press or other public release or announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be presented for approval by each of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative prior to such release or announcement, it being understood that Parent, as a public corporation, has the obligation to disclose material information concerning its business and the timing and type of disclosure is ultimately within its sole discretion. Except to the extent required by applicable Law and in connection with the procurement of any necessary consents, approvals, payoff letters and similar documentation, the Parties shall keep the terms of this Agreement confidential (it being understood that the Parties may disclose such terms to their respective Representatives pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement to the extent necessary in connection with consummating the transactions contemplated hereby so long as such persons agree to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential); provided, however, that (i) the Company may make announcements to its employees, customers and other business relations to the extent such it determines in good faith that such announcement is necessary or advisable and (ii) Olympus Partners may provide general information about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (including their performance and improvements) in connection with ordinary course fund raising, marketing, informational or reporting activities.

Section 5.7 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party shall be liable for and pay all of its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’, accountants’ and investment bankers’ fees and other out-of-pocket expenses) in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that Parent shall pay and be fully responsible for (x) all filing fees under the Antitrust Laws and (y) 50% of Transfer Taxes pursuant to Section 5.9(d).

Section 5.8 Preservation of Records. For a period of seven years after the Closing Date or such other longer period as required by applicable Law, the Surviving Corporation shall preserve and retain, all corporate, accounting, legal, auditing, human resources and other books and records of the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries (including (a) any documents relating to any governmental or non-governmental Actions or investigations and (b) all Tax Returns, schedules, work papers and other material records or other documents relating to Taxes of the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries) relating to the conduct of the business and operations of the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date.

Section 5.9 Tax Matters.

(a) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns.

(i) Parent will prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns for the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that are due after the Closing Date. Tax Returns with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past custom and practice of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, except as otherwise required by applicable law. With respect to any overpayment of Tax or Tax refund of the Company or any Company Subsidiary arising from any such Tax Return, Parent shall have the right to claim and receive any refund or overpayment of Tax (rather than applying any such amount to future periods). The Company and each Company Subsidiary may, within the sole discretion of Parent, make an election to affirmatively waive any carryback of any net operating loss, capital loss or credit on any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(ii) For the portion of the Closing Date after the Closing, other than the transactions expressly contemplated hereby, Parent will cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to carry on their business only in the ordinary course in the same manner as heretofore conducted. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company and Company Subsidiaries will elect with the relevant Taxing Authority to treat for all purposes the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries.

(iii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to the preparation of Tax Returns Parent shall determine in its discretion whether the Transaction Tax Deductions will be treated as properly allocable, and deductible with respect, to the Pre-Closing Tax Period or the taxable period ending after the Closing Date.

(b) Tax Contests. Parent shall notify the Stockholders’ Representative within fifteen (15) days of receiving written notice of any Tax Contest relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for which the Stockholders may have an obligation to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Parties hereunder, provided, however that failure or delay on the part of Parent in so notifying the Stockholders’ Representative shall affect the rights of the Parent Indemnified Parties hereunder only to the extent that such failure or delay has a prejudicial effect or adversely affects other rights available to the Stockholders with respect to such Tax Contest. The Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right to control any Tax Contest relating to any tax period of the Company or any Company Subsidiary that ends on or before the Closing Date to the extent that the Stockholders are required to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Parties hereunder and the anticipated Losses are not reasonably likely to exceed the balance of the Indemnity Holdback Amount (a “Pre-Closing Tax Contest”). If the Stockholders’ Representative elects to control such Pre-Closing Tax Contest, (i) Parent shall have the right to participate at its own expense in any such Pre-Closing Tax Contest, and (ii) the Stockholders’ Representative shall not, without Parent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, agree to any settlement with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Contest. Parent shall control the handling, disposition, and settlement of any such Pre-Closing Tax Contest the Stockholders’ Representative elects not to control and any Tax Contest the Stockholders’ Representative is not entitled to control for which the Stockholders may have an obligation to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Parties hereunder, provided that (x) the Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right to participate at its own expense in any such Pre-Closing Tax Contest or Tax Contest, and (y) Parent shall not, without the Stockholders’ Representative’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, agree to any settlement with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Contest or Tax Contest if such settlement would cause the Stockholders to incur a material indemnification obligation to the Parent Indemnified Parties hereunder. The Stockholders’ Representative shall promptly notify the Parent if the Stockholders’ Representative decides to control the defense or settlement of any Pre-Closing Tax Contest that it is entitled to control pursuant to this Agreement. Parent shall have the sole right to control any Tax Contest relating to any Straddle Period of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (a “Straddle Period Tax Contest”); provided, that with respect to any Straddle Period Tax Contest the anticipated Losses of which are reasonable likely to cause the Stockholders to incur a material indemnification obligation to the Parent Indemnified Parties hereunder (1) the Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right to participate at its own expense in any such Straddle Period Tax Contest, and (2) Parent shall not, without the Stockholders’ Representative’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, agree to any settlement with respect to such Straddle Period Tax Contest.

(c) Books and Records; Cooperation. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall reasonably cooperate as and to the extent reasonably requested by any Party, in connection with the filing of all Tax Returns of the Company and each Company Subsidiary

for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and any Tax Contest. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such 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 and Stockholders’ Representative agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and Company Subsidiaries 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 Stockholders’ Representative, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, Parent or Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall, upon the other’s request, use their Commercially Reasonable 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 that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(d) Transfer Taxes. Any real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, stock transfer tax, documentary, sales, use, registration, or other similar Tax and fees (including any penalties and interest) imposed on the Company and any Company Subsidiary as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) will be borne and paid 50% by the Stockholders, on the one hand, and 50% by Parent, on the other hand, when due, and all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes will be prepared and filed by the Party required to file such Tax Returns under applicable Law. Each of Parent and the Stockholders will indemnify and hold the other Party harmless against any Transfer Taxes. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative agree to cooperate with each other in the filing of any returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns.

(e) Straddle Period Taxes. If the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is permitted but not required under applicable Law to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, the Parties shall so treat the Closing Date. Where such treatment is not permitted, for purposes of determining the liability for Taxes of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period,

(i) Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), and attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the applicable entity (and any entity or arrangement taxed as a partnership or other pass through entity in which the Company or any Company Subsidiary holds a beneficial interest, and any controlled foreign corporation within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code in which a Company or any Company Subsidiary is an owner) had a taxable year or period which ended at the close of the Closing Date and by determining the Taxes due for such period based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the day on the Closing Date;

provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date (in proportion to the number of days in each period); and

(ii) Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be apportioned by assuming that an equal portion of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period is allocable to each day in such Straddle Period.

(f) Tax Elections. Parent will not make any election under Section 338 of the Code or Section 336 of the Code (or any similar provisions under state, local, or foreign law) with respect to the acquisition of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. Parent will not take any action with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to constitute part of a transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the “Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter” described in Internal Revenue Service Notices 2001-16 and 2008-111.

(g) Amended Tax Returns; Tax Elections. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, with respect to any Tax period of the Company or any Company Subsidiary that ends on or before the Closing Date, Parent will not, without the Stockholders’ Representative’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), cause or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to (i) amend any Tax Return that relates in whole or in part to any such Tax period, (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any such Tax period, (iii) voluntarily approach any Taxing Authority with respect to any such Tax period, provided however, that Parent may (or may cause the Company or any Company Subsidiary to) respond to inquiries initiated by a Taxing Authority, including those that may result from filing of Tax Returns or payment of Taxes with respect to a Tax period ending after the Closing Date, or (iv) extend the statute of limitations with respect to any such Tax period. The covenants in this Section 5.9(g) shall terminate on the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

(h) Compensatory Payments. Parent agrees that any amounts to be paid pursuant to this Agreement that is treated as compensation for income tax purposes may be paid to the Company or Company Subsidiary (at such time upon which such payment is due), which in turn, shall pay the applicable recipient such amounts through the Company’s or Company Subsidiary’s payroll, less applicable withholding Taxes, and will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipient in respect of which such withholding was made.

(i) Refunds. Except with respect to Transfer Taxes, any refund of Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (whether in the form of cash received or a credit or offset against Taxes otherwise payable), including any interest received from a Taxing Authority with respect thereto, that is attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be the property of Parent. If any such refund is received by a Party other than Parent, the Party receiving such refund shall pay over such refund to Parent within ten

(10) days after receipt thereof from the applicable Governmental Entity. Each of the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall be entitled to one-half of any refund of Transfer Taxes.

(j) 2014 Tax Return. Prior to Closing (and in no event later than September 15, 2015) the Company will file the 2014 consolidated federal income tax return (Form 1120) with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and pay all Taxes due in connection therewith. The Stockholders’ Representative shall furnish Parent with a copy of such filed return (including schedules and statements attached thereto) within five calendar days after the return is filed.

Section 5.10 Investigation by Parent; No Other Representations; Non-Reliance of Parent. Parent and its Affiliates have substantial familiarity with the business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and fully understand the risks inherent therewith. Furthermore, Parent (for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and Representatives) has conducted an independent investigation, verification, review and analysis of the business, operations, assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition, technology and prospects of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and Parent, its Affiliates and their advisors and Representatives have had access to the personnel, properties, premises and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for such purpose. In entering into this Agreement, Parent has relied solely upon the aforementioned investigation, review and analysis and not on any factual representations or opinions of the Company, any Company Subsidiary, any Stockholder or any Warrantholder or any of their respective Representatives or any other Person, except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by the Company in Article III, in each case, as qualified by the Schedules (the “Express Representations”). Parent (for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and Representatives and each of their successors and assigns): (a) except for the Express Representations, specifically acknowledges that none of the Company, any Company Subsidiary, any Stockholder, any Warrantholder or any other Person is making and has not made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, at law or in equity, in respect of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, assets, liabilities, operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise), including with respect to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any assets, the nature or extent of any liabilities, the prospects of the business, the effectiveness or the success of any operations, or the accuracy or completeness of any confidential information memoranda, management presentations, projections, documents, material or other information (financial or otherwise) regarding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries furnished to Parent or its Affiliates or their Representatives or made available to Parent, its Affiliates or their Representatives in any data rooms, management presentations or in any other manner or form in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby; (b) except for the Express Representations, specifically and irrevocably disclaims that it is relying upon or has relied upon any such other representations or warranties that may have been made by any Person, and acknowledges that the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the Stockholders, the Warrantholders and their respective Affiliates hereby specifically disclaim any such other representation or warranty made by any Person; (c) specifically disclaims any obligation or duty by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the Stockholders, the Warrantholders and their respective Affiliates or any other Person to make any disclosures of fact not required to be disclosed by the Express Representations; and (d) specifically acknowledges Parent is entering

into this Agreement and acquiring the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, subject only to the Express Representations. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, (i) none of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the Stockholders, the Warrantholders or any of their Affiliates makes any representation or warranty regarding any third party beneficiary rights or other rights which Parent or its Affiliates might claim under any studies, reports, tests or analyses prepared by any third parties for the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates, even if the same were made available for review by Parent or any of its Affiliates or Representatives; and (ii) none of the documents, information or other materials provided to Parent at any time or in any format by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the Stockholders, the Warrantholders or their Affiliates or Representatives constitute legal advice, and Parent waives all rights to assert that it received any legal advice from the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the Stockholders, the Warrantholders or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective Representatives or counsel, or that it had any sort of attorney-client relationship with any of such Persons.

Section 5.11 Consents and Estoppels. The Company shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek (x) the consent of the counterparties to the contracts set forth on Annex F and (y) estoppels in a customary form from the applicable landlord under the Leases set forth on Annex F (it being understood that in no event shall obtaining any such consent or estoppel be a condition to Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the Closing). Parent shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with the Company in respect of seeking such consents and estoppels.

Section 5.12 Collected VAT Receivables. From time to time (but not less frequently than monthly) after the Closing and until the termination of the Escrow Account, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries will, and the Parent will cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, deposit all Collected VAT Receivables with the Escrow Agent, to be added to the Indemnity Holdback Amount pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 5.13 Title Policies. The Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist Parent (at Parent’s sole cost and expense) in obtaining (a) an owner’s policy of title with respect to each parcel of Owned Real Property and (b) a survey of the property located in Greenville, Pennsylvania (and an updated survey for any other property for which the survey previously provided to Parent does not contain all plottable encumbrances listed in the new title policy) (i) identifying the location of such property, and (ii) locating all plottable encumbrances listed in the related title policy.

Section 5.14 Section 280G. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain a vote of the Stockholders entitled to vote, in a manner that satisfies the shareholder approval requirements under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder (a “280G Stockholder Vote”), approving the right of any “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) to receive any payment or benefit that would reasonably be expected to be a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) to avoid any payment received by, or benefit provided to, such “disqualified individual” from being an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code (“Excess Parachute

Payment”). The Company shall (a) provide drafts of any required waivers, consents or agreements and any materials necessary to comply with the 280G Stockholder Vote to Parent prior to submission to the Company’s disqualified individuals, with respect to such waivers, consents or agreements, or the Company’s Stockholders entitled to vote, with respect to documentation necessary to comply with the 280G Stockholder Vote, and Parent shall have the right to review and provide reasonable comments, which may be incorporated, to the extent that they are timely provided by Parent and (b) make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain all waivers, consents or agreements from each disqualified individual of such disqualified individual’s rights to some or all payments or benefits contingent on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to avoid any payment or benefit that would reasonably be expected to be a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code from being an Excess Parachute Payment. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with copies of all documents executed by the Stockholders and disqualified individuals in connection with the 280G Stockholder Vote. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Company contained in this Section 5.14 shall not include obligations with respect to payments or benefits pursuant to agreements or arrangements that create a right or entitlement to receive any “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code to any “disqualified individual” under Section 280G of the Code that Parent or its Affiliates has provided to, or entered into with (or directed a Person to enter into with), such “disqualified individual”, but of which the Company does not have Knowledge.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties set forth in Article III and Article IV shall survive the Closing Date until the first anniversary thereof (the “Expiration Date”). No Party shall be entitled to recover for any Loss pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) unless written notice of a claim thereof is delivered to the applicable Party prior to the Expiration Date.

Section 6.2 General Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 6.2(c) and Section 6.2(d), after the Closing, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to make a claim against the Indemnity Holdback Amount for, and, subject to the provisions of this Article VI may recover from the Indemnity Holdback Amount, any and all Losses that any such Parent Indemnified Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to as a result of:

(i) any breach of any Express Representation (in each case ignoring, for purposes of determining the inaccuracy or breach thereof and the amount of Losses relating thereto, any qualification as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect, expectation to result in a material liability or words of similar import contained in any such representation or warranty (other than with respect to (x) the term “Material Contract” or (y) the representations contained in clause (a) of Section 3.5 (Financial Statements) and clause (a) of Section 3.6 (Absence of Certain Changes)), and

(ii) any breach of any covenant by the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement requiring performance after the Closing.

(b) Parent shall indemnify the Company Indemnified Parties and save and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such Company Indemnified Party for any and all Losses that any Company Indemnified Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to as a result of (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty set forth in Article IV and (ii) any breach of any covenant by Parent or Merger Sub.

(c) Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover for any Loss pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations) (i) until the aggregate amount of all Losses that Parent Indemnified Parties would, but for this clause (i), be entitled to indemnification in respect thereof exceeds $1,242,500 in the aggregate (the “Deductible”), in which case, subject to clause (ii), Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for all such Losses in excess of the Deductible, or (ii) to the extent the aggregate amount of all Losses previously indemnified pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations) exceeds $1,242,500 (the “General Cap”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (A) the Deductible and the General Cap shall not apply with respect to any Loss arising from (and such Loss shall not be counted toward the General Cap) actual (but not constructive) common law fraud in respect of a misrepresentation by the Company of an Express Representation; (B) no Stockholder or Warrantholder shall be liable for any Losses in excess of the portion of the Merger Consideration paid to such Stockholder or Warrantholder, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.2(c); (C) Losses in respect of which a Parent Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification shall be offset by (x) any amounts or benefits received (whether in the form of cash, credit or some other beneficial arrangement, excluding tax benefits) from any third party in respect of such Loss, and (y) the aggregate amount of any insurance proceeds received (whether in the form of cash or credit) in respect of such Loss; and (D) the indemnity obligations hereunder (1) shall not apply to any environmental matter or condition that is discovered by any sampling, investigation or reporting by or on behalf of any Parent Indemnified Party that is not either (x) required by Environmental Law, (y) necessary to respond to, or defend against a Third-Party Claim with respect to any actual or alleged liability arising from, based on or in connection with any Release of a Hazardous Material under or from any property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Company or any Company Subsidiary occurring on or prior to the Closing Date regardless of when such Release is discovered, migration of any such Release of Hazardous Material, or exposure to Hazardous Material from such a Release, or (z) necessary for Parent Indemnified Party to conduct bona fide construction or maintenance projects consistent with commercial or industrial use of the Property or the expansion thereof and (2) shall not apply to any Losses with respect to Remediation by Parent Indemnified Party, except to the extent such Remediation is conducted in a cost effective manner, and is required by Environmental Law to attain compliance with minimum applicable remedial standards for the continued commercial or industrial use of the relevant property or facility, employing where available cost-effective, risk-based remedial standards. Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Loss consisting of or relating to Taxes with respect to any taxable period, or the portion of any Straddle Period, beginning after the Closing Date as a result of any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12, other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12(g).

(d) In the event any Losses incurred by a Parent Indemnified Party are covered by insurance or any indemnity, contribution or other similar right against a third party, such Parent Indemnified Party shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek recovery under such insurance or indemnity, contribution or similar right. For purposes of clarity, Parent shall be responsible for the retention amount under the RWI Policy and, to the extent a matter is covered under the RWI Policy but for the retention amount thereunder, no claims shall be made under Section 6.2(a)(i) by Parent with respect to such matter until the Deductible has been satisfied. Parent covenants to maintain in full force and effect the RWI Policy through the policy period thereof and all product liability insurance of the Company and its Subsidiaries as exists as of the Closing Date.

(e) Each Parent Indemnified Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event, state of facts, circumstances or developments which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto. For purposes of clarity, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be deemed not to have suffered any Loss arising from any liability to the extent such liability was included in the determination of Final Working Capital, Final Indebtedness or Final Transaction Expenses, as it is the intent of the Parties that the procedures set forth in Section 2.5 shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy for such claims

(f) Any Person making a claim for indemnification under this Section 6.2 (an “Indemnitee”) that arises from a claim by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) shall notify the indemnifying party (an “Indemnitor”) of the Third-Party Claim in writing, describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable), and the basis thereof (a “Claim Notice”); provided that the failure to give a timely Claim Notice shall affect the rights of an Indemnitee hereunder only to the extent that such failure has a prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnitor with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall have 30 days after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnitee that it desires to defend the Indemnitee against such Third-Party Claim.

(g) In the event that the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee within the Notice Period (the “Defense Notice”) that it desires to defend the Indemnitee against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right to defend the Indemnitee by appropriate Proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense at its expense commencing upon delivery of the Defense Notice. The Indemnitee may participate in any such defense at its expense. The Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim on a basis that would result in (i) a finding or admission of a violation of Law by the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates or (ii) any monetary liability of the Indemnitee that is not concurrently paid or reimbursed by the Indemnitor.

(h) If the Indemnitor elects not to defend the Indemnitee against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification for a Third-Party Claim shall not

be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such circumstance. If the Indemnitor elects not to defend the Indemnitee against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee may not settle the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(i) The Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third-Party Claim, including by providing access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents, and employees.

(j) If an Indemnitee wishes to make a claim for indemnification hereunder for a Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor in writing of such Direct Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Direct Claim).

(k) From and after the Closing, except in the event of actual (but not constructive) common law fraud in respect of a misrepresentation by the Company of an Express Representation, the sole and exclusive remedies for any and all claims arising under or for breach of this Agreement shall be the remedies provided in Section 2.5, Section 8.10, and the rights of indemnification set forth in this Section 6.2, and no Person will have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse for such claims against any Contracting Party or any other Person (including with respect to any such claims arising under CERCLA, or any other environmental, health or safety matters), it being agreed that all such other remedies, entitlements and recourse for such claims are expressly waived and released by the Parties to the fullest extent permitted by Law. The provisions of this Section 6.2(k) and the limited remedies provided in Section 2.5, Section 6.2, and Section 8.10 were specifically bargained for by the Parties and were taken into account by them in arriving at the Enterprise Value and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Party shall be entitled to a rescission of this Agreement (or any related agreements) or any further indemnification rights or claims of any nature whatsoever, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Parties to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.2(k) is intended to or shall relieve or release any Person from its obligations under any other contract or other document to which such Person is expressly made a party that is delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

(l) Any amounts owing under Section 6.2(a) shall be satisfied solely from the then remaining balance of the Indemnity Holdback Amount. Any amounts owing under Section 6.2(b) shall be paid by Parent to the applicable Company Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three calendar days after the final determination thereof. All indemnification payments under this Section 6.2 shall be deemed adjustments to the Final Purchase Price.

(m) On the first Business Day following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release to the Stockholders and the Warrantholders an aggregate amount equal to (x) the then-remaining balance of the Indemnity Holdback Amount, minus (y) the aggregate amount of all Losses specified in any then-unresolved good faith claims for indemnification made in accordance with this Agreement prior to such date. Such aggregate amount shall be

allocated among the Stockholders and the Warrantholders as if such amount had been included in the Closing Merger Consideration and, as allocated, such amounts shall be paid to the accounts of the Stockholders and the Warrantholders as set forth in the Funds Flow.

(n) From and after the Closing, Olympus Growth Fund IV, L.P. shall control the defense of, and indemnify Parent Indemnified Parties for any Losses incurred by Parent Indemnified Parties resulting from, any claim made by any Stockholder or Warrantholder in respect of the payment of the Control Premium hereunder.

(c) by the Company or the Stockholders’ Representative, if Parent or Merger Sub breaches in any material respect any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would render a condition precedent to the Company’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Section 2.8(a) or Section 2.8(c) not capable of being satisfied, and (ii) after the giving of written notice of such breach or failure to perform to Parent by the Company, cannot be cured or has not been cured by the earlier of the End Date and ten Business Days after the delivery of such notice; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(c) shall not be available to the Company or the Stockholders’ Representative, if the Company is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement;

(d) by Parent, if the Company breaches in any material respect any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would render a condition precedent to Parent’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Section 2.8(a) or Section 2.8(b) not capable of being satisfied, and (ii) after the giving of written notice of such breach or failure to perform to the Company and the Stockholders’ Representative by Parent, cannot be cured or has not been cured by the earlier of the End Date and ten Business Days after the delivery of such notice; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(d) shall not be available to Parent if Parent is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; or

ARTICLE VIII

or to such other Person or address as any Party shall specify by notice in writing in accordance with this Section 8.2 to each of the other Parties.

Section 8.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Annexes hereto and the Schedules, contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, with respect thereto, other than the Confidentiality Agreement. The

representations and warranties made by the Company in Article III are the exclusive representations and warranties made by the Company and the Company hereby disclaims any other express or implied representations or warranties.

Section 8.4 Non-Recourse. All claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement) and the transactions contemplated hereby, may be made, subject to Section 6.1, only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (the “Contracting Parties”). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, Stockholder, Warrantholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, Representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, Stockholder, Warrantholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, Representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance or breach, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.4 is intended to or shall relieve or release any Person from its obligations under any other contract or other document to which such Person is expressly made a party that is delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 8.5 Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and, with respect to the provisions of Section 2.1, Section 5.5, Section 5.9(a) and Section 8.4 shall inure to the benefit of the Persons benefiting from the provisions thereof all of whom are intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of each of the other Parties; provided, however, that any Party may assign its rights under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates without prior written consent; provided, however, that any such assignment shall not relieve the assignor of any liability in connection with this Agreement. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 8.5 will be void.

Section 8.6 Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument executed by all Parties.

Section 8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered via fax or email in several counterparts.

Section 8.8 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LEGAL RELATIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES THEREOF. THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OVER ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENTS, INSTRUMENTS AND DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENT TO AND AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM THAT (I) SUCH PARTY IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, (II) SUCH PARTY AND SUCH PARTY’S PROPERTY IS IMMUNE FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS ISSUED BY SUCH COURTS OR (III) ANY ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 8.2, OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO SERVICE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED

Section 8.9 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or restriction or any portion thereof had never been contained herein. Upon such a determination, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 8.10 Specific Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached or threatened to be breached and that an award of money damages would be inadequate in such event. Accordingly, it is acknowledged that the Parties and the third party beneficiaries of this Agreement shall be entitled to equitable relief, without proof of actual damages, including an injunction or injunctions or Orders for specific performance to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including any Order sought by a Party to cause any other Party to perform its agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement, in addition to any other

remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach). Each Party further agrees that no other Party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.10 and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. Each Party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES TO CAUSE ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES TO WAIVE, ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 8.12 Rules of Construction. The Parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and have participated jointly in the drafting of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document. Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein for all purposes. Any reference in this Agreement to an “Article,” “Exhibit,” “Section,” “Schedule,” or “subsection” refers to the corresponding Article, Exhibit, Section, Schedule or subsection of or to this Agreement, unless expressly provided otherwise. The table of contents and the headings of Articles, Exhibits, Sections, or subsections of this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute any part of this Agreement and shall be disregarded in construing the language herein. All words used in this Agreement are to be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances and context require. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and “hereof,” and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The words “this Article,” “this Section” and “this subsection,” and words of similar import, refer only to the Article, Section or subsection hereof in which such words occur. The word “or” is exclusive, and the word “including” (in its various forms) means including without limitation. Where this Agreement states that a party “shall,” “will” or “must” perform in some manner or otherwise act or omit to act, it means the party is legally obligated to do so in accordance with this Agreement. Any reference to a statute is deemed also to refer to any amendments or successor legislation as in effect at the relevant time. Any reference to an agreement or other document as of a given date means the agreement or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time through such date. All references to “$” and dollars shall be deemed to refer to United States currency unless otherwise specifically provided. For the avoidance of doubt, actual common law fraud does not include negligent misrepresentation or omission or knowledge of the fact that the Person making such representation or warranty does not have sufficient information to make the statement contained in the representation and warranty set forth herein, but which is nevertheless made as a matter of contractual risk allocation between the Parties.

Section 8.13 Schedules. Matters reflected in the Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Schedules. To the extent any

such additional matters are included, they are included for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Headings and subheadings have been inserted in the Schedules for convenience of reference only and shall not have the effect of amending or changing the express description thereof as set forth in this Agreement. Disclosure of any fact or item in this Agreement or any Schedule referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other Section in this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure would apply to such other Sections. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule is intended to imply that such amounts, higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material or are within or outside the ordinary course of business, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in any Schedule in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter is or is not required to be disclosed (including, whether such amounts or items are or are not material), or may constitute an event or condition which could be considered to have a Material Adverse Effect. No matter or item disclosed on a Schedule admitting or indicating a possible breach or violation of any contract or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that an actual breach or violation exists, has actually occurred or will occur. The Parties do not assume any responsibility to any Person that is not a Party to this Agreement for the accuracy of any information set forth in the Schedules. Subject to applicable Law, the information on the Schedules is disclosed in confidence for the purposes contemplated in this Agreement and is subject to the confidentiality provisions of any other agreements, including the Confidentiality Agreement, entered into by the Parties or their Affiliates. Moreover, in disclosing the information in the Schedules, each Party expressly does not waive any attorney-client privilege associated with such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed therein.

Section 8.14 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. If the date specified for giving any notice or taking any action is not a Business Day (or if the period during which any notice is required to be given or any action taken expires on a date which is not a Business Day), then the date for giving such notice or taking such action (and the expiration date of such period during which notice is required to be given or action taken) shall be the next date which is a Business Day.

Section 8.15 Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) Pursuant to the Stockholders Approval dated on or about the date hereof, the Letters of Transmittal and the Warrant Termination Agreements, as applicable, the Stockholders and the Warrantholders have constituted, appointed and empowered effective from and after the date of such consent, Olympus Growth Fund IV, L.P. as the Stockholders’ Representative, for the benefit of the Stockholders and the Warrantholders and the exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of each Stockholder and Warrantholder, in connection with and to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which shall include the power and authority: (i) to negotiate, execute and deliver such waivers, consents and amendments under this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby as the Stockholders’ Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or

desirable; (ii) as the Stockholders’ Representative, to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Stockholders and the Warrantholders and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of such Persons arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein, as and to the extent applicable to them, and to take any and all actions which the Stockholders’ Representative believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement for and on behalf of the Stockholders and the Warrantholders, including consenting to, compromising or settling any such claims, conducting negotiations with Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Representatives regarding such claims, and, in connection therewith, to (A) assert any claim or institute any Action or investigation; (B) investigate, defend, contest or litigate any Action or investigation initiated by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Person, or by any Governmental Entity against the Stockholders’ Representative and/or any of the Stockholders or Warrantholders, and receive process on behalf of any or all Stockholders and Warrantholders in any such Action or investigation and compromise or settle on such terms as the Stockholders’ Representative shall determine to be appropriate, and give receipts, releases and discharges with respect to, any such Action or investigation; (C) file any proofs of debt, claims and petitions as the Stockholders’ Representative may deem advisable or necessary; (D) settle or compromise any claims asserted under this Agreement; and (E) file and prosecute appeals from any decision, judgment or award rendered in any such Action or investigation, it being understood that the Stockholders’ Representative shall not have any obligation to take any such actions, and shall not have any liability for any failure to take any such actions; (iii) to waive or refrain from enforcing any right of the Stockholders or the Warrantholders arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that such waiver is in writing signed by the Stockholders’ Representative; (iv) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Stockholders’ Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (v) to engage outside counsel, accountants and other advisors and incur such other expenses on behalf of the Stockholders and the Warrantholders in connection with any matter arising under this Agreement; and (vi) to collect, hold and direct the disbursement of (if applicable under this Agreement) the Purchase Price Adjustment Holdback Amount, the Expense Holdback Amount, and the Indemnity Holdback Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from, and be indemnified by, the Stockholders and the Warrantholders for certain expenses, charges and liabilities as provided below. In connection with this Agreement, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Stockholders’ Representative hereunder, (i) the Stockholders’ Representative shall incur no responsibility whatsoever to any Stockholders or Warrantholders by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted hereunder, excepting only responsibility for any act or failure to act which represents willful misconduct, and (ii) the Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any act or omission of the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Stockholders’ Representative to liability to any Stockholders or Warrantholders. Each Stockholder and Warrantholder shall indemnify, severally and not jointly,

based on such Stockholder’s and Warrantholder’s pro rata share of Merger Consideration received by such Stockholder and Warrantholder, as applicable, the Stockholders’ Representative against all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other experts’ fees and the amount of any judgment against them, of any nature whatsoever, arising out of or relating to any acts or omissions (including any breach) of the Stockholders’ Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnification shall not apply in the event of any Action which finally adjudicates the liability of the Stockholders’ Representative hereunder for its willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right to recover, at its sole discretion, from the Expense Holdback Amount, prior to any distribution to the Stockholders or the Warrantholders any amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to the expense reimbursement and indemnification provisions of this Section 8.15(b).

(c) All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time and/or any termination of this Agreement.

(d) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Stockholders and the Warrantholders.

(e) The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Stockholder or Warrantholder and (ii) shall survive the consummation of the Merger, and any action taken by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Agreement shall be effective and binding on each Stockholder and Warrantholder notwithstanding any contrary action of or direction from such Stockholder or Warrantholder, except for actions or omissions of the Stockholders’ Representative constituting willful misconduct.

(f) Each of the Company, Merger Sub and Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Stockholders’ Representative is a Party to this Agreement in such capacity solely to perform certain administrative functions in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, each of the Company, Merger Sub and Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Stockholders’ Representative shall have no liability to, and shall not be liable for any losses of, any of the Company, Merger Sub or Parent in connection with any obligations of the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such losses shall be proven to be the direct result of willful misconduct by the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder.

Section 8.16 Legal Representation. Parent and the Company hereby agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Surviving Corporation and their current and future directors, managers, equityholders, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates and each of their successors and assigns (all such Persons, the “Waiving Parties”), that Kirkland & Ellis LLP (“K&E”) (or any successor thereto) may represent the Stockholders’ Representative or

any of the other Stockholders, or any of their respective, direct or indirect, directors, managers, members, partners, officers, employees, equityholders or Affiliates thereof, in connection with any dispute, litigation, claim, proceeding or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any agreement entered into in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby (any such representation, the “Post-Closing Representation”) notwithstanding its representation (or any continued representation) of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, and each of Parent and the Company on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any conflict of interest or any objection arising therefrom or relating thereto. Parent and the Company each acknowledge that the foregoing provision applies whether or not K&E provides legal services to the Surviving Corporation or any subsidiary thereof after the Closing Date. Each of Parent and the Company, for itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications among K&E, the Company, any Company Subsidiary, the Stockholders’ Representative and/or any Stockholder and/or any director, officer, manager, member, employee or representative of any of the foregoing made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, any agreement entered into in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated hereby or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are privileged communications and the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs solely to the Stockholders’ Representative, and shall be exclusively controlled thereby and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, and from and after the Closing none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation any subsidiary thereof or any other Person purporting to act on behalf thereof or any of the Waiving Parties, will seek to obtain the same by any process. Except as set forth in the next sentence, from and after the Closing, each of Parent and the Company, on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties, waives and will not assert any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication among K&E, the Company, any Company Subsidiary, the Stockholders’ Representative or any Stockholders and/or any director, officer, manager, member, employee or representative of any of the foregoing occurring prior to the Closing in connection with any Post-Closing Representation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent, the Surviving Company, the Company or any Company Subsidiary and a third party other than a Party to this Agreement after the Closing, the Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by K&E, the Stockholders, the Stockholders’ Representative, the Company or any Company Subsidiary to such third party; provided, however, that (i) the Company may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative and (ii) neither the Stockholders’ Representative nor any Stockholder may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Parent.
