(a)the Buyer shall deposit an amount equal to $5,000,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent.

(b)the Buyer shall pay to the applicable obligees of the Sellers, on behalf of the Sellers and for the Sellers’ account, the Debt Amount and Seller Transaction Expenses outstanding as of the Closing; and
(c)the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Sellers an amount in cash equal to the Closing Cash Amount minus the sum of (i) the Escrow Amount, (ii) the Debt Amount and (iii) the Seller Transaction Expenses outstanding as of the Closing.
Section 2.3    Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a)As soon as practicable after the Closing Date but no later than the 60th day after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers a schedule (the “Closing Schedule”) of its calculation of (A) the book value of the Current Assets as of the Effective Time (the “Closing Current Assets”), (B) the book value of the Current Liabilities as of the Effective Time (the “Closing Current Liabilities”) and (C) the amount by which (i) the Closing Current Liabilities exceed the Closing Current Assets (the “Post‑Closing Reduction”), or (ii) the amount by which the Closing Current Assets exceed the Closing Current Liabilities (the “Post-Closing Addition”).
(b)Within 20 days after the Sellers’ receipt of the Closing Schedule, the Sellers may deliver written notice (the “Protest Notice”) of their objections to the Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Current Assets, the Closing Current Liabilities and the resulting Post-Closing Reduction or Post-Closing Addition, as applicable, and the proposed modification of the Closing Schedule, together with a written statement explaining in reasonable detail the reasons for the objections and the basis for the proposed modification. Sellers shall have the right to reasonable review and approve of the Closing Schedule and may object on any basis made in good faith. If the Sellers do not deliver such notice of objection within such 20-day period, then the Closing Schedule, and the Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Current Assets, Closing Current Liabilities and the Post-Closing Reduction or Post-Closing Addition, as applicable, as shown thereon, shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. Any amounts not disputed in the Protest Notice (if one is delivered) shall be deemed to be accepted by the Sellers as final. Upon receipt of the Closing Schedule, the Sellers and their respective accountants will be given reasonable access to the relevant books, records, workpapers and personnel during reasonable business hours for the purpose of verifying the Closing Schedule.
(c)If the Buyer disagrees with all or any portion of the Sellers’ proposed modifications of the Closing Schedule, then the Buyer shall notify the Sellers and the Buyer and the Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement during the 20-day period immediately following delivery by the Sellers of the Protest Notice. If the Buyer and the Sellers reach such an agreement, such agreement shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.
(d)If, within the 20-day negotiation period described in Section 2.3(c), the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to reach an agreement on the Closing Schedule, they shall promptly thereafter cause the Independent Accountant to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Closing Current Assets, Closing Current Liabilities and the Post-Closing Reduction or Post-Closing Addition, as applicable. In making such calculation,

5



the Independent Accountant shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Schedule as to which the Buyer and the Sellers have disagreed within the allowable periods set forth herein. The determination by the Independent Accountant of the disagreed amounts shall be based solely on presentations by the Buyer and the Sellers, and shall not involve the Independent Accountant’s independent review. The Independent Accountant shall deliver to the Sellers and the Buyer, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth its calculations. Any determination by the Independent Accountant shall not be outside the range defined by the respective amounts in the Closing Schedule proposed by the Buyer and the Sellers’ proposed adjustments thereto (after giving effect to any disputed items that were resolved by the Buyer and the Sellers prior to submission to the Independent Accountant), and such determination shall be final, conclusive, binding and non-appealable upon the parties hereto. Each of the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall bear that percentage of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant equal to the proportion (expressed as a percentage) of the dollar value of the disputed amounts determined in favor of the other party by the Independent Accountant. For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Post-Closing Reduction” means the amount by which (i) the Closing Current Liabilities exceed the Closing Current Assets as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, and “Final Post-Closing Addition” means the amount by which the Closing Current Assets exceed the Closing Current Liabilities, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3.
(e)Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Post-Closing Reduction or the Final Post-Closing Addition, as applicable pursuant to this Section 2.3:
(i)    if the Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Cash Amount, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Sellers, an amount in cash equal to the amount of such excess; and
(ii)    if the Purchase Price is less than the Closing Cash Amount, the Sellers shall jointly and severally be responsible for and pay to the Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Buyer, an amount in cash equal to the amount of such deficit. If any amount is paid from the Escrow Amount to the Buyer with respect to any obligations of the Sellers under this Section 2.3, the Sellers shall be jointly and severally obligated to replenish the Escrow Amount by promptly depositing additional funds in the amount of any such payment into the account to be held and administered in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.
Section 2.4    Withholding Rights. The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to the Sellers such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Code, or any provision of any applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Sellers in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Buyer.

Section 2.5    Purchase Price Allocation. The parties hereto agree to allocate the Purchase Price (along with all other items of consideration for tax purposes and including any adjustment thereto) among the Business Sellers and PHR and among the Assets (i) that constitute Class IV assets and Class V assets (each as defined in Section 1060 of the Code) in accordance with the Independent Valuation and (ii) that constitute Class VI assets and Class VII assets (each as defined in Section 1060 of the Code), if applicable, all in accordance with the methodology set forth on Schedule 2.5. The foregoing

6



clauses (i) and (ii) are referred to as the “Allocation Methodology”. The parties acknowledge and agree that none of the Assets shall constitute Class I Assets, Class II Assets or Class III Assets (each as defined in Section 1060 of the Code). No later than 60 days following the completion of the Buyer’s purchase accounting valuation, the Buyer shall prepare an allocation of the Purchase Price in accordance with the Allocation Methodology, which allocation (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5) shall be binding upon the parties hereto. Any amendment to such allocation shall be prepared in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.5 for the initial allocation. The parties hereto shall report for Tax and other relevant purposes (and shall defend in any Tax Proceeding) the Transactions in a manner consistent with such allocation and any amendment thereto (including the preparation of Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) and not take any position inconsistent therewith. The Sellers shall timely deliver all such documents and other information as the Buyer may reasonably request in order to prepare such allocation or any amendment thereto. If the Sellers dispute an amount on the allocation prepared by the Buyer (the only permissible basis for which being that the allocation was not prepared in accordance with Schedule 2.5), the Sellers shall deliver written notice to the Buyer specifying in reasonable detail the amount in dispute and the basis for such dispute within 30 days following the delivery of the allocation prepared by the Buyer to the Sellers. Any dispute not resolved within 30 days following the Buyer’s receipt of a protest notice from the Sellers regarding the allocation prepared by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 2.3.

Section 9.4    Rules Regarding Indemnification. The obligations and liabilities of each party which may be subject to indemnification liability hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) to the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)Third-Party Claims. The Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to this Article IX, stating the nature of said claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known; provided, however, that the failure to provide such prompt written notice shall in no event impair the rights of the Indemnified Party or limit the obligations of the Indemnifying Party except to the extent that such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend the claim. The Indemnified Party shall give notice

39



(including copies of any writings received) to the Indemnifying Party that pursuant to the indemnity, the Indemnified Party is asserting against the Indemnifying Party a claim with respect to a potential Loss from the third party claim, and such notice shall constitute the assertion of a claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party provides notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after receiving notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense at its expense so long as a condition precedent to the Indemnifying Party’s right to assume control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must first furnish the Indemnified Party with reasonable evidence that the Indemnifying Party is and will be able to satisfy any such Liability; and provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense or to select counsel if the Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control of (A) seeks non-monetary relief; (B) involves criminal allegations; or (C) involves matters that the Buyer reasonably believes, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or the assets of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates. An Indemnifying Party’s delivery of a notice assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim shall constitute an acceptance of its obligation hereunder to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses, if any, resulting from the subject Third Party Claim. So long as such defense is being conducted, the Indemnified Party shall not settle or admit liability with respect to the claim and shall afford to the Indemnifying Party and defending counsel reasonable assistance in defending against the claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense as permitted hereby, counsel shall be selected by such party and if the Indemnified Party then retains its own counsel (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party), it shall do so at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense as permitted hereby or is not permitted to assume the defense, the Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) the defense of such Third Party Claim at its own expense.
(b)The Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Third Party Claim relating to the matters contemplated hereby unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party admits in writing its liability to hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any Losses arising out of such settlement and concurrently with such settlement the Indemnifying Party pays the full amount of all Losses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such settlement.
Section 9.5    Payment. Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX shall be made promptly upon a final settlement among the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or upon a final adjudication determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with this Article IX that an obligation is owing by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party. Any payment that is not made within 10 days of the determination that such obligation is owing shall bear interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, or, if less, the maximum rate permitted by applicable Laws. In addition, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any and all actual and reasonable costs or expenses of any nature or kind whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred as the prevailing party in seeking to collect payment under this Article IX, and no limitation in Section 9.3(b)-(e) of this Article IX shall apply to such reimbursement or to any interest paid or to be paid pursuant to this Section 9.5.

Section 9.6    Materiality Qualifiers. For purposes of determining the amount of Losses arising from such a breach for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.2(a), the representations and warranties

40



made by the parties hereto in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be construed as if any qualification or limitation that is based on materiality (including, without limitation, all usages of “material”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifiers) were omitted from the text of such representation, warranty or covenant.

Section 9.7    Purchase Price Adjustment. Any indemnification received under this Article IX shall be treated by the Buyer, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, to the extent permitted by Laws, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless a Final Determination (defined below) causes any such amount not to constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal tax purposes. The term “Final Determination” shall mean (i) any final determination of liability in respect of a Tax that, under applicable Laws, is not subject to further appeal, review or modification through Proceedings or otherwise (including the expiration of a statute of limitations or a period for the filing of claims for refunds, amended returns or appeals from adverse determinations) or (ii) the payment of Tax by the Buyer or the Sellers, whichever is responsible for payment of such Tax under applicable Law, with respect to any item disallowed or adjusted by a taxing authority, provided that such responsible party or parties determine(s) that no action is required to be taken to recoup such payment and the other party agrees in writing.

The parties hereto agree that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by Proceedings on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.
(b)    Each party hereto further irrevocably waives any objection to any proceeding before such courts based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue in such courts and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim in any court that any proceeding before such courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given hereunder. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that its submission to jurisdiction and its consent to service of process by mail are made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto. The parties agree and intend that the pendency of a proceeding pursuant to Sections

52



2.3 or 2.5 of this Agreement shall not preclude the ability of any party to bring an action under this Section 11.7 with respect to any dispute or controversy to which this Section 11.7 applies.
Section 11.8    Headings. Any table of contents and paragraph headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered or referred to in resolving questions of interpretation.

Section 11.9    Partial Invalidity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted, (b) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by such invalid or unenforceable provision and (c) there shall be automatically substituted for such invalid or unenforceable provision a provision as similar as possible which is valid and enforceable.

Section 11.10    Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any rights, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, or of any other right, power or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy preclude any further or other exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be void unless it is in writing and signed by the party against which it is sought to be enforced.

Section 11.11    Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission (including .pdf files), shall be treated in all manner and respects and for all purposes as an original agreement or instrument.

Section 11.12    Interpretation. (a) All references to “dollars” or “$” shall be to U.S. dollars. Unless the context otherwise requires, (b) all references to Articles, Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to Articles, Sections, Schedules or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (c) each accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP, (d) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, (e) the use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation and (f) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not simply mean “if”. The Disclosure Schedules are integral parts of this Agreement and are incorporated herein and expressly made a part of this Agreement as though completely set forth herein. Nothing in a Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein, unless such Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail, including by express cross-reference to another Disclosure Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing, or inclusion of a copy, of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein, unless the representation or warranty is being made as to the existence of the document or other item itself. Further, it is acknowledged by the parties that this Agreement has undergone several drafts with the negotiated suggestions of both; and, therefore, no presumptions shall arise favoring either party by virtue of the authorship of any of its provisions or the changes made through revisions. The use of the phrases

53



“furnished”, “made available” or “provided to” when referring to information and materials provided to the Buyer shall be deemed satisfied solely to the extent such information and materials were uploaded to (and made accessible to the Buyer and its representatives) the Gold Key Dataroom on or before the second Business Day immediately preceding the date of this Agreement.

Section 11.3    Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with regard to the matters contained herein and it is understood and agreed that all previous undertakings, negotiations, letter of intent and agreements between the parties are merged herein. The Buyer acknowledges that they have relied on no representation or warranty, written or oral, other than as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, and the schedules attached hereto. This Agreement may only be modified or amended by an agreement in writing signed by the Buyer and the Sellers.

Section 11.14    Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Buyer, on the one hand, or any Seller, on the other hand, of any of the their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, by the other(s) (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other under this Agreement (without posting any bond or other security). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that the right of the Sellers to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing the Buyer’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price and to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the requirements that (i) the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 7.4 and Section 7.6 have been satisfied, (ii) the Buyer fails to pay, on the third Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, the amounts required to be paid by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.2 and (iii) the Sellers have irrevocably confirmed to the Buyer in writing that, if the amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2 are paid in accordance therewith, the Sellers are ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing. The Buyer and each Seller hereby expressly waive any objections to the availability of specific performance as a remedy available to any party. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred hereby upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party (including the right to sue for damages), and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy in accordance with this Agreement. Each party hereby waives any provision of Law to the extent that such provision would limit or restrict the agreement contained in this Section 11.14.

Section 11.15    Waiver of Bulk Sales Laws. The parties hereto hereby waive compliance in connection with the Transactions with the provisions of Article 6 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in states where any of the Assets are located, and any other applicable bulk sales laws, in effect as of the date of the Closing.
