(b)plus the aggregate amount of Closing Date Cash;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Indemnity Holdback Amount shall not constitute Merger Consideration unless and until such amounts become payable pursuant to Section 2.8.
    30



Section 3.2Estimated Merger Consideration; Allocation Statement.
(a)Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of (i) the Closing Date Cash, (ii) the Closing Date Indebtedness, (iii) the Transaction Expenses and (iv) the Working Capital Adjustment, and based on the foregoing, the Merger Consideration (such estimated amount, the “Estimated Merger Consideration”), together with reasonable supporting materials and calculations. The Company shall prepare the Estimated Closing Statement in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied with the accounting principles, policies and procedures used in the preparation of the Financial Statements to the extent consistent with GAAP (collectively, the “Accounting Principles”). Prior to the Closing, Purchaser will be entitled to review, comment on, and propose changes to the Estimated Closing Statement, including the calculation of the Estimated Merger Consideration set forth therein, and the Company shall permit Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access to the books and records of the Company and to such historical financial information relating to the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Merger Consideration as Purchaser may request. The Company shall consider in good faith any reasonable changes Purchaser proposes to the Estimated Closing Statement and revise the Estimated Closing Statement if, based on its good faith assessment, such changes are warranted.
(b)On the Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser and the Paying Agent a statement (the “Preliminary Payment Allocation Statement”), certified by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which sets forth, as of the Closing Date, the following:
(i)the names, addresses and email addresses (to the extent available) of (A) all Stockholders and the number and class of Shares held by such Persons; (B) all Option Holders and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each vested In-the-Money Option held by each Option Holder, together with the exercise price per share for each vested In-the-Money Option held by each Option Holder; and (C) all Warrant Holders, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Company Warrant held by each Warrant Holder, together with the exercise price per share for each Company Warrant held by each Warrant Holder; and
(ii)the portion of the Closing Equityholder Payment Amount that is payable to each of the Persons described in clause (i) above, as calculated pursuant to this Agreement and the Company Charter.
Section 3.3Determination of Final Merger Consideration.
(a)Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative (i) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date and (ii) a statement (the “Initial Closing Statement”) setting forth
    31



Purchaser’s good faith calculation of (i) the Closing Date Cash, (ii) the Closing Date Indebtedness, (iii) the Transaction Expenses and (iv) the Working Capital Adjustment, and based on the foregoing, the Merger Consideration, together with reasonable supporting materials and calculations. Purchaser shall prepare the Initial Closing Statement in accordance with this Agreement and the Accounting Principles.
(b)The Stockholder Representative will be entitled to review the Initial Closing Statement during the thirty (30) day period beginning on the date the Stockholder Representative receives the Initial Closing Statement. During such thirty (30) day period, the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives will have reasonable access (subject to any applicable Laws or Orders arising out of or relating to, and any Purchaser or Company policies or procedures implemented in response to, the COVID-19 pandemic, including restrictions on in-person gatherings) to the books and records of the Company, to work papers prepared by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives to the extent they relate to the Initial Closing Statement, and to such historical financial information relating to the Initial Closing Statement as the Stockholder Representative may reasonably request, and will be entitled to meet with Representatives of Purchaser on a mutually convenient basis in order to obtain and discuss such information; provided, that such access does not unreasonably interrupt the normal course of business of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company). All access and information contemplated by this Section 3.3(b) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of a non-disclosure agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser. At or prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Stockholder Representative shall either:
(i)deliver a notice to Purchaser confirming that no adjustments are proposed by the Stockholder Representative to Purchaser’s calculation of the Merger Consideration or any of its components, as set forth on the Initial Closing Statement (in which case Purchaser’s calculation of the Merger Consideration as set forth in the Initial Closing Statement shall constitute the Final Merger Consideration) (a “Notice of Acceptance”); or (ii)    deliver a notice to Purchaser to the effect that the Stockholder Representative disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of the Merger Consideration or any of its components, as set forth on the Initial Closing Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”), and specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such disagreement (which shall only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on the Merger Consideration not being calculated in accordance with this Agreement and the Accounting Principles) and the adjustments that, in the Stockholder Representative’s view, should be made to the calculation of the Merger Consideration or any of its components, as applicable, in order to comply with this Agreement and the Accounting Principles (collectively, the “Proposed Adjustments”); provided, however, that if the Stockholder Representative fails to deliver a Notice of Acceptance or a Notice of Disagreement within such thirty (30) day period, then the calculation of the Merger Consideration as set forth in the Initial Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties as the Final Merger Consideration.
    32



(c)If there are any Proposed Adjustments, Purchaser shall, no later than thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Notice of Disagreement, notify the Stockholder Representative whether Purchaser accepts or rejects each such Proposed Adjustment. Thereafter, the Stockholder Representative and Purchaser shall work in good faith to resolve any differences that remain with respect to the Proposed Adjustments. If the Proposed Adjustments are so resolved in writing, such agreement of the Stockholder Representative and Purchaser shall constitute the Final Merger Consideration. If, however, any of the Proposed Adjustments are not so resolved (the “Unresolved Adjustments,” and the aggregate difference between the Parties’ respective calculations of the Merger Consideration resulting from the Unresolved Adjustments, the “Unresolved Balance”) within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s notice to the Stockholder Representative of its rejection of any Proposed Adjustments (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree in writing), then, at the request of either the Stockholder Representative or Purchaser, the Unresolved Adjustments will be submitted to Grant Thornton LLP or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, to a nationally recognized firm with no material relationships with any Stockholder, the Stockholder Representative, Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates and with accounting expertise and relevant experiences in resolving similar purchase price adjustment disputes as mutually agreed by Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative (the “Accounting Firm”). Each Party shall submit to the Accounting Firm its position with respect to the Unresolved Adjustments as set forth in the Initial Closing Statement, in the case of Purchaser, and the Notice of Disagreement, in the case of the Stockholder Representative, and shall make available to the Accounting Firm the books and records of the Company, work papers prepared by Purchaser, the Stockholder Representative, or their respective Representatives to the extent they relate to the Initial Closing Statement or the Notice of Disagreement, as the case may be, and other historical financial information relating to the Initial Closing Statement, in each case as the Accounting Firm may request. The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator with respect the review contemplated by this Section 3.3(c) and the scope of the review by the Accounting Firm will be limited to: (i) a disposition of the Unresolved Adjustments through a strict application of the Accounting Principles; (ii) based on its determination of the matters described in clause (i) and all items and amounts that were previously accepted or agreed upon or deemed agreed upon by the Parties in accordance with this Section 3.3, as applicable, a calculation of the Merger Consideration, including each of its components; and (iii) an allocation of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm determined in accordance with the formula specified below in this Section 3.3(c). The Accounting Firm may, at its discretion, conduct a conference concerning the Unresolved Adjustments, at which conference Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to present additional books and records, work papers, documents, materials, and other information and to have their respective Representatives present, but in no event shall either Party or its Representatives have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Accounting Firm without the prior written approval of the other Party. The Accounting Firm is not entitled to, and the Parties shall not individually request the Accounting Firm to, (A) make any determination other than as set forth above, (B) determine any Unresolved Adjustment to be a value higher than the highest value or lower than the lowest value proposed by the Parties in their submissions to the Accounting Firm, or (C) undertake any independent investigation of the facts relating to the Unresolved Adjustments. The Accounting Firm will be instructed to render its written decision resolving the matters submitted to it as
    33



promptly as practicable and, if at all possible, within thirty (30) days after such submission of the Unresolved Adjustments. The determination of the Merger Consideration by the Accounting Firm will, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties as the Final Merger Consideration, and judgment may be entered upon such determination in any court of competent jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm incurred pursuant to this Section 3.3(c) shall be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Equityholders), on the other hand, as determined by the Accounting Firm based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total value of each party’s respective position in relation to the total amount of the Unresolved Balance. For purposes of illustration only, if the Unresolved Balance is $100, and the written determination of the Accounting Firm states that $80 of the Unresolved Balance is resolved in Purchaser’s favor and $20 of the Unresolved Balance is resolved in the Stockholder Representative’s favor, Purchaser would bear 20% of the Accounting Firm’s costs and expenses, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Equityholders) would bear 80% of such costs and expenses, on the other hand. All other fees, expenses, and costs incurred by a Party or its Representatives in connection with this Section 3.3 shall be borne by such Party (and in the case of the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Equityholders).
(d)Promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) after the determination of the Final Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.3, the Stockholder Representative shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser and the Paying Agent a statement (the “Final Payment Allocation Statement”) setting forth, as of the Closing Date, the following:
(i)the names and addresses of (A) all Stockholders and the number and class of Shares held by such Persons; (B) all Option Holders and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each vested In-the-Money Option held by each Option Holder, together with the exercise price per share for each vested In-the-Money Option held by each Option Holder; and (C) all Warrant Holders, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Company Warrant held by each Warrant Holder, together with the exercise price per share for each Company Warrant held by each Warrant Holder;
(ii)the portion of the Final Merger Consideration payable to each of the Persons described in clause (i) above, as calculated pursuant to this Agreement and the Company Charter; and
(iii)based on the foregoing and the Preliminary Payment Allocation Statement, the portion of the Adjustment Holdback Amount, the Indemnity Holdback Amount and the PPP Escrow Amount, in each case, to which each such Person is entitled.
(e)Within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Final Merger Consideration becomes final and binding in accordance with this Section 3.3, if:
    34



(i)the Final Merger Consideration is greater than, or equal to, the Estimated Merger Consideration, then (A) Purchaser shall pay to the Paying Agent, for distribution to the Equityholders, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Paying Agent Agreement, an aggregate amount in cash equal to the sum of (A) such difference plus (B) the Adjustment Holdback Amount; or
(ii)the Final Merger Consideration is less than the Estimated Merger Consideration, then (A) Purchaser shall permanently retain from the Adjustment Holdback Amount an amount (the “Negative Adjustment Amount”) in cash equal to such difference and (B) pay to the Paying Agent, for distribution to the Equityholders, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Paying Agent Agreement, the remaining portion of the Adjustment Holdback Amount, if any; provided that, if the Negative Adjustment Amount is greater than the Adjustment Holdback Amount, Purchaser may also permanently retain from the Indemnity Holdback Amount the difference between the Negative Adjustment Amount and the Adjustment Holdback Amount.
(f)The Parties shall treat any payments made pursuant to this Section 3.3 as an adjustment to the aggregate Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
Section 3.4Withholding. Each of Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation, and the Paying Agent (each a “Withholding Party”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable under this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld from or with respect to such payment under the Code or other applicable Law relating to Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. In the event that Withholding Party determines that withholding is required under applicable Law and permitted under this Agreement such Withholding Party will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the recipient of such payment, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date or any subsequent date that the applicable payment is to be made to provide such recipient with an opportunity to provide any form or documentation or take such other steps in order to avoid such withholding and, if such deduction or withholding cannot be avoided, will timely remit any such amounts deducted or withheld to the applicable Governmental Authority.

    72



in each case, be calculated in accordance with the following assumptions: (i) no election under Section 338 or Section 336 of the Code (or any comparable applicable provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) is made with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) the taxable year of the Company ends as of the end of the day on the Closing Date; (iii) no Taxes are incurred by the Company on the Closing Date after the Closing outside the ordinary course of business; (iv) the Company makes a timely election under Revenue Procedure 2011-29, 2011-18 I.R.B. 746, to apply the seventy percent (70%) safe-harbor to any Transaction Tax Deductions that are “success based fees” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.263(a)-5(f); (v) to the extent deductible under applicable Tax law at a “more likely than not” or higher level of confidence, all Transaction Tax Deductions are deducted on income Tax Returns for the taxable period that ends (or is deemed to end) as of the end of the day on the Closing Date; (vi) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any net operating losses of the Company arising in the applicable taxable periods ending (or deemed to end) on or prior to the Closing Date are applied against Income Taxes arising in Pre-Closing Tax Period(s) for which such net operating losses may be applied in accordance with applicable Law; and (vii) such Taxes shall be computed (including reporting positions, elections and accounting methods) of the Company in preparing its applicable Tax Returns, unless otherwise required under applicable Law.
(g)Prohibited Tax Actions. To the extent that any such action could (1) reasonably be expected to give rise to a Tax Claim for which the Equityholders may have an indemnification obligation pursuant to Article X or (2) otherwise reduce the amount of Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser, the Company and their respective Affiliates will not: (i) amend any Tax Returns of or with respect to the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) make or change any Tax election or change any method of accounting that has effect on any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) agree to extend or waive the statute of limitations with respect to Taxes of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) initiate discussions or examinations with any Governmental Authority (including any voluntary disclosures) regarding Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (v) engage in any transaction on the Closing Date after the Closing outside the ordinary course of business of the Company, in each such case, except with the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not make any election pursuant to Code Sections 336 or 338 (or any similar or corresponding provision of state, local or non-U.S. tax law) with respect to the transactions pursuant to this Agreement.

    73



entitled to receive immediately prior to Closing. For purposes of the foregoing, equity or equity-based compensation shall not be taken into account for determining compensation or benefits before after the Closing.
(b)To the extent applicable, with respect to employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements that are established or maintained by Purchaser (“Purchaser Plans”) and in which Continuing Employees become eligible to participate after the Closing, Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) shall be given credit for their service with the Company (i) for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting (but not benefit accrual) to the extent such service was taken into account under a corresponding Company Benefit Plan, and (ii) for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations and shall be given credit for amounts paid under a corresponding Company Plan during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, copayments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Purchaser Plan.

(ii)second, by the permanent retention by Purchaser of a portion of the Special Indemnity Holdback Amount with a value equal to such Losses (or, if such Losses exceed the then-remaining Special Indemnity Holdback Amount, the entire remaining Special Indemnity Holdback Amount);
(iii)third, if the then-remaining Special Indemnity Holdback Amount is insufficient to cover the full amount of such Losses or if the entire Special Indemnity Holdback Amount has been previously permanently retained by Purchaser, then by the permanent retention by Purchaser of a portion of the General Indemnity Holdback Amount with a value equal to such Losses (or, if such Losses exceed the then-remaining General Indemnity Holdback Amount, the entire remaining General Indemnity Holdback Amount); and

Section 10.5Claims.
(a)As promptly as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement not involving a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such claim (a “Claim Notice”) to the Responsible Party; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly give such notice shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnification except to the extent (if any) that the defense of such claim by the Responsible Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Claim Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) and the amount of Losses suffered or incurred or that Indemnified Party reasonably believes it will or may suffer or incur.
(b)If the Responsible Party does not object in writing to such claim within ten (10) Business Days after receiving such Claim Notice, it shall be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that such claim is within the scope of and subject to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE X and, subject to Section 10.4, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek indemnification therefor and no subsequent objection by the Responsible Party shall be permitted. If within such ten (10) Business Day period the Responsible Party agrees that the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification but objects to the amount thereof, the Indemnified Party shall nevertheless be entitled to seek indemnification for such lesser amount without prejudice to the Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference. If within such ten (10) Business Day period the Responsible Party objects in writing to such claim or the amount thereof, then the total amount of indemnification to which the Indemnified Party shall be entitled shall be determined by (x) the written agreement of Indemnified Party and the Responsible Party or (y) a final Order of any court of competent jurisdiction. The Order of a court shall be deemed
    84



final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.
Section 10.6Notice of Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense.
(a)As promptly as is reasonably practicable after receiving notice of the assertion of any claim or demand, or the commencement of any Proceeding, by any Person who is not an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give a Claim Notice (in the form contemplated by Section 10.5(a)) to the Responsible Party in respect of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly give such notice shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent (if any) that the Responsible Party is materially prejudiced thereby.
(b)The Responsible Party may, at its own expense, (i) participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim and (ii) upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of the Claim Notice (subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below), assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that as a condition precedent to the Responsible Party’s right to assume control of such defense, it must first: (A) enter into an agreement with the Indemnified Party (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) pursuant to which the Responsible Party agrees to be fully responsible for, and to provide full indemnification to the Indemnified Party for, all Losses relating to such Third Party Claim; and (B) furnish the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party that the Responsible Party is and will be able to fully satisfy such Liability; and provided further, however, that the Responsible Party will not have the right to assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim, and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if (1) such Third Party Claim seeks non-monetary relief (in whole or in part) or relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Proceeding, (2) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to such Third Party Claim would be detrimental to or injure the reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (3) the named parties in any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Responsible Party (or their respective Affiliates) and the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing or conflicts of interests between them, (4) such Third Party Claim seeks money damages in excess of the Indemnity Holdback Amount, (5) the Responsible Party fails to actively and diligently conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, or (6) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes the defense of such Third Party Claim would adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s relationship with any of its customers, suppliers, or other business relationships.
(c)If the Responsible Party is permitted to assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim and elects to do so, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the Responsible Party in such Third Party Claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by
    85



the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Responsible Party in writing or (ii) the Indemnified Party has been advised by legal counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Responsible Party and the Indemnified Party.
(d)Regardless of which Party controls the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim, including by providing or making available to the controlling Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials, and information relating thereto in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control (or in the possession or control of any of its Representatives) as is reasonably requested by the controlling Party or its counsel.
Section 10.7Settlement or Compromise.
(a)If the Indemnified Party is controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall obtain the prior written Consent of the Responsible Party (such Consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) before entering into any settlement or compromise of such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party will have the right to settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim without such Consent, provided that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim unless such Consent is unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
(b)If the Responsible Party is controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Responsible Party shall obtain the prior written Consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement or compromise of such Third Party Claim unless (i) such settlement or compromise involves only payment of money damages, (ii) all such money damages will be the responsibility of, and paid in full by, the Responsible Party, (iii) such settlement or compromise does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief on, and contains no admission of wrongdoing by, the Indemnified Party, and (iv) such settlement or compromise includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party.
(c)Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Party or the Responsible Party, as the case may be, of any Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 10.7 shall also be binding upon the Responsible Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final Order had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise.
Section 10.8Calculation of Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount of any Losses suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Party shall be calculated after giving effect to (A) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses from third party insurers, including the R&W Insurance Policy, net of (i) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to collection of such amounts from such insurers, (ii) any deductible associated therewith and (iii) any increase in premiums resulting therefrom and (B) the amount of any cash Tax benefits actually realized (whether by actual
    86

ARTICLE 11.
STOCKHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE
Section 11.1Authority. By virtue of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the Equityholders and without any further action of any of the Equityholders or the Company, Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is hereby appointed as the Stockholder Representative and as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and exclusive agent under
    87



this Agreement and the PPP Escrow Agreement. The Stockholder Representative shall have such powers and authority as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the functions assigned to it under this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement and the Related Agreements, including the full power and authority on behalf of the Equityholders to: (i) consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) execute the Related Agreements and make all decisions required or allowed to be made by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the Related Agreements; (iii) review the Initial Closing Statement delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.3(a), negotiate with Purchaser regarding any Proposed Adjustments, and otherwise take all other actions contemplated to be taken by the Stockholder Representative under Section 3.3; (iv) defend, control, settle, compromise, or take any other action on behalf of the Equityholders with respect to any matter for which any Purchaser Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under ARTICLE 10; (v) execute and deliver any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any Related Agreement; (vi) deliver all notices required to be delivered by the Equityholders under this Agreement; (vii) take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Equityholders that the Stockholder Representative may deem necessary or desirable in connection with this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement and the Related Agreements; and (ix) do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which the Equityholders are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Equityholders, except as expressly provided herein, in the PPP Escrow Agreement and in the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Stockholder Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedules. Such exclusive agency and proxy, and the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Stockholder Representative Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Stockholder Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution, or liquidation of any Equityholder, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Seller of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Indemnity Holdback Amount or the PPP Escrow Amount. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Preliminary Payment Allocation Statement, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Equityholder or other party. All decisions and actions by the Stockholder Representative (to the extent authorized by this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or any Related Agreement) will be binding upon all of the Equityholders and their successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by the Equityholders, and no Equityholder will have the right to object, dissent, protest, or otherwise contest the same. The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time and may be removed or replaced by a majority vote of the Advisory Group. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the PPP Escrow Agreement.
Section 11.2Reliance by Purchaser. Pursuant to such designation, each Equityholder shall have further agreed that Purchaser will be entitled to rely on any action taken by the
    88



Stockholder Representative on behalf of such Equityholder pursuant to Section 11.1 (each, an “Authorized Action”), and that each Authorized Action shall be binding on such Equityholder as fully as if such Equityholder had taken such Authorized Action.
Section 11.3Stockholder Representative Amount. The Stockholder Representative Amount shall be withheld from the Equityholders at Closing and paid directly to an account designated by the Stockholder Representative to be used: (i) as a fund for the fees and Stockholder Representative Expenses (including any legal fees and expenses) of, and other amounts payable by, the Stockholder Representative in connection with this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement and the Related Agreements, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group. The Stockholder Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Stockholder Representative Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Stockholder Representative Amount and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. The Equityholders will not receive any interest on the Stockholder Representative Amount and assign to the Stockholder Representative any such interest. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Stockholder Representative may contribute funds to the Stockholder Representative Amount from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Equityholders. Any balance of the Stockholder Representative Amount not utilized for such purposes shall be paid (via the Paying Agent), when deemed appropriate by the Stockholder Representative in its sole discretion, to the Equityholders in accordance with the Final Payment Allocation Statement. If the Stockholder Representative Amount is insufficient to satisfy the fees and Stockholder Representative Expenses of, and other amounts payable by, the Stockholder Representative, then immediately prior to the final distribution of the Indemnity Holdback Amount or PPP Escrow Amount to the Equityholders, the Stockholder Representative will be entitled to recover any such Stockholder Representative Expenses from such amounts prior to the distribution of such amounts to the Equityholders. The Stockholder Representative shall also be entitled to recover any remaining fees, Stockholder Representative Expenses, or other amounts directly from the Equityholders, and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Stockholder Representative shall not have any obligation to personally advance funds in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or the Related Agreements, or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, the Related Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The Stockholder Representative Group shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by each Equityholder, severally and not jointly (in accordance with the Final Payment Allocation Statement), against all fees, losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including legal fees and expenses, costs of other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers) and other amounts payable or incurred by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or the Related Agreements, including any such fees, expenses, or other amounts that may be incurred
    89



by the Stockholder Representative in connection with any Proceeding to which the Stockholder Representative is made a party by reason of the fact it is or was acting as the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or the Related Agreements (collectively, the “Stockholder Representative Expenses”), to the extent the Stockholder Representative Amount and any remaining portion of the Indemnity Holdback Amount and PPP Escrow Amount are insufficient to pay such Stockholder Representative Expenses.
Section 11.4Exculpation. The Stockholder Representative will not, by reason of this Agreement or any Related Agreement, have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Equityholder. Certain Equityholders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Stockholder Representative to provide direction to the Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement, the PPP Escrow Agreement and the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement (such Equityholders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Stockholder Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Stockholder Representative Group”), will be liable to any Equityholder for any action taken or omitted by it or any agent employed by it under this Agreement, any Related Agreement, or any other document entered into in connection with this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or any Related Agreement, except that the Stockholder Representative will not be relieved of any Liability imposed by Law for willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative will not be liable to any Equityholder for any apportionment or authorization of distribution of payments made by the Stockholder Representative in good faith, and if any such apportionment or authorization of distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Equityholder to whom payment was due, but not made, will be to recover from other Equityholders any payment in excess of the amount to which such other Equityholders are determined to have been entitled. The Stockholder Representative Group will not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of this Agreement or any Related Agreement. Neither the Stockholder Representative nor any Representative engaged by it will be liable to any Equityholder by virtue of the failure or refusal of the Stockholder Representative for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or relating to the performance of its other duties under this Agreement, except that the Stockholder Representative will not be relieved of any Liability imposed by Law for fraud or willful misconduct.
ARTICLE 12.
MISCELLANEOUS

From and after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser and the Company or any of their respective Representatives may make a press release or other public disclosure regarding the existence of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements without the written Consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that (a) prior to the issuance of such press release or public disclosure, the Party proposing to make such press release or disclosure shall provide to the other Party no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the issuance of such press release or disclosure a copy or a summary of such press release or disclosure and consider in good faith any changes such Party proposes to such press release or disclosure and (b) the Party proposing to issue such press release or disclosure shall not be obligated to make any changes based on such comments; provided further, that no such press release or disclosure shall disclose any material economic terms or provisions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements. Subject to this Section 12.8, Each Party shall hold confidential the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements.

Section 12.12No Strict Construction. The Parties have each participated in the negotiation and drafting of the terms of this Agreement. The Parties agree that any rule of legal interpretation to the effect that any ambiguity is to be resolved against the drafting party will not apply in interpreting this Agreement. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this
    93



Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and will in no way restrict or otherwise modify any of the terms or provisions hereof.
Section 12.13Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action that are based on, arise out of, or relate to this Agreement, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of law rules and any other Law that would cause the application of the Laws (including the statute of limitations) of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
Section 12.14Jurisdiction, Service, and Venue. Except with respect to the resolution of Unresolved Adjustments in accordance with Section 3.3, each Party agrees: (a) to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery in and for New Castle County, or in the event (and only in the event) that such Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such dispute, any Delaware State court sitting in New Castle County, unless the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, in which case the federal courts located in New Castle County in the State of Delaware (such courts, including appellate courts therefrom, the “Specified Courts”) for any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) to commence any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement only in the Specified Courts; (c) that service of any process, summons, notice, or document by U.S. registered mail to the address of such Party set forth in Section 12.3 will be effective service of process for any Proceeding brought against such Party in any of the Specified Courts; (d) to waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the Specified Courts; and (e) to waive and not to plead or claim that any such Proceeding brought in any of the Specified Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Section 12.15WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 12.15.
Section 12.16Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. It is accordingly agreed that (a) the parties hereto will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other
    94



equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party pursuing an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 12.16 will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order. The remedies available to the parties pursuant to this Section 12.16 will be in addition to any other remedy to which they were entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance will not restrict, impair or otherwise limit any party from seeking the payment of any liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses related to any breach of this Agreement, in each case, subject to the terms of Section 9.2. If, before the Outside Date, any party hereto brings any action, in each case in accordance with Section 12.16, to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party, Outside End Date will automatically be extended (y) for the period during which such action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days or (z) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, as the case may be.
Section 12.17Privileged Communications. Goodwin Procter LLP and the Company’s in-house legal department (collectively, “Counsel”) have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements (the “Transaction Engagement”). The Parties acknowledge that (a) all communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among Counsel, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, or advisors, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the Transaction Engagement (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”) will be deemed to be attorney-client privileged communications that belong to the Company, (b) from and after the Closing, the Privileged Communications and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Surviving Corporation and may be controlled by the Surviving Corporation and shall not be claimed by any Equityholder or any of its Affiliates, and (c) Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Privileged Communications, or any of its files relating to the Transaction Engagement, to any Equityholder, any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective Representatives by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Counsel and any Equityholder or otherwise. No Equityholder or any of its Affiliates will have access to any such Privileged Communications, or to the files of Counsel relating to the Transaction Engagement.
Section 12.18No Waiver of Privilege; Protection from Disclosure or Use. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to be a waiver of any attorney-client privilege, work product
    95



protection, or other protection from disclosure or use. The Parties have undertaken reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of any information that may be confidential, subject to a claim of privilege, or otherwise protected from disclosure or use but, notwithstanding such efforts, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement could result in the inadvertent disclosure of such information. The Parties agree that any such inadvertent disclosure of information that may be confidential, subject to a claim of privilege, or otherwise protected from disclosure or use will not constitute a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any claim of confidentiality, privilege, or protection from disclosure, and further agree to use reasonable best efforts to return any inadvertently disclosed information to the disclosing Party promptly upon becoming aware of its existence. Promptly following the return of any inadvertently disclosed information, the Party returning such information shall destroy any and all copies, summaries, descriptions, or notes of such inadvertently disclosed information, including electronic versions thereof, and all portions of larger documents or communications that contain such copies, summaries, descriptions, or notes.
Section 12.19Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including using any electronic signature covered by the United States ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com), and such counterparts may be delivered in electronic format, including by facsimile, email or other transmission method. Such delivery of counterparts shall be conclusive evidence of the intent to be bound hereby and each such counterpart, including those delivered in electronic format, and copies produced therefrom shall have the same effect as an originally signed counterpart. To the extent applicable, the foregoing constitutes the election of the Parties to invoke any law authorizing electronic signatures. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement, shall be disregarded in determining a Party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature. No Party shall raise the use the delivery of signatures to this Agreement in electronic format as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such Party forever waives any such defense.
Section 12.20Disclosure Schedules. The Disclosure Schedules have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately numbered sections corresponding to the sections of this Agreement; provided, however, each section of the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the Disclosure Schedules to the extent the relevance of such information to such other section of the Disclosure Schedules is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or the attached exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no Party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not
    96



set forth or included in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business. Any description of any agreement, document, instrument, plan, arrangement or other item set forth on any Disclosure Schedule is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of such agreement, document, instrument, plan, arrangement or item. The information contained in this Agreement, in the Disclosure Schedules and exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any Party hereto to any Person of any matter whatsoever, including any violation of Law or breach of contract.
Section 12.21Complete Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Related Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Letters of Transmittal, contain the entire agreement of the Parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior agreements among the Parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Company.

In connection with the merger (the "Merger") of Roadster, Inc. (the "Company") with Spyder Merger Corp. ("Merger Sub"), a wholly-owed subsidiary of CDK Global, Inc. ("Purchaser"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 2, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company, and Fortis Advisors LLC, as representative of the Company's stockholders (the “Stockholders’ Representative”), the undersigned herewith surrenders the above listed shares of Company capital stock (the "Shares"), Company Warrants and/or all Company Options held by the undersigned immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger and the book-entry entitlements, including book entries recorded in the Company’s books and records, which immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger represented the Shares, in each case to be exchanged for cash, minus any required tax deductions or withholdings and certain other deductions set forth in the Merger Agreement, as adjusted and payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned agrees to be bound by all provisions of the Merger Agreement applicable to it. The undersigned understands that Purchaser will hold back and retain cash representing the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Indemnity Holdback Amount pursuant to Section 2.8 of the Merger Agreement to secure certain obligations under the Merger Agreement, and the undersigned hereby appoints Fortis Advisors LLC, as Stockholders' Representative on his, her or its behalf pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement. All such amounts shall be held by Purchaser, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

Further, and without limiting the foregoing, if the undersigned is an entity, the undersigned represents and warrants to the Company, Purchaser and Merger Sub that (i) the undersigned has full corporate or other applicable power and authority to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions provided for or contemplated hereby and (ii) this Letter of Transmittal has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the undersigned and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with its respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).
The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents reasonably deemed appropriate or necessary by the Paying Agent and/or Purchaser in connection with the surrender of the Shares, Company Warrants and/or Company Options held thereby.

Each Equityholder (as defined in the Merger Agreement), including the undersigned, shall, as set forth in Section 11.3 of the Merger Agreement, indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative for any fees and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) and other amounts payable or incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with the performance of any of its duties under the Merger Agreement in excess of the Stockholder Representative Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
    (f)    By the execution and delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned consents to the Merger and acknowledges the validity and enforceability of the Merger Agreement, and WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ITS RIGHTS, IF ANY, TO DISSENT OR SEEK STATUTORY APPRAISAL IN RESPECT OF THE UNDERSIGNED’S SHARES IN THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW (INCLUDING SECTION 262 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL

    (g)     From and after the Effective Time, for good and valuable consideration, the undersigned finally and forever releases Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation, and their respective successors, assigns, officers, directors, agents, servants, employees and all affiliates and subsidiaries, past and present, of Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation (the "Releasees") from each and every agreement, commitment, indebtedness, obligation and claim of every nature and kind whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected (each, a "Claim" and collectively, the "Claims") that (i) the undersigned may have had in the past, may have as of the date hereof or, to the extent arising from or in connection with any act, omission or state of facts taken or existing on or prior to the date hereof, may have after the date hereof against any of the Releasees and (ii) have arisen or arises directly out of, or relates directly to, the undersigned's interest as an equityholder of the Company, except such Claims as are contemplated by the Merger Agreement (such Claims being the "Released Claims").

No interest will be paid on amounts due for the Shares, Company Warrants and/or Company Options.
    8. Form W-9. Each stockholder surrendering Shares, Company Warrants and/or Company Options for payment is required to provide the Paying Agent with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN") and certain other information on a Form W-9, or an appropriate IRS Form W-8, as described below.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION
    United States federal income tax law generally requires that if your shares, Company Warrants and/or Company Options are accepted for payment, you or your assignee (in either case, the "Payee"), must provide the Paying Agent (the "Payor") with the Payee's correct TIN, which, in the case of a Payee who is an individual, is the Payee's social security number. If the Payor is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, the Payee may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and backup withholding in an amount equal to 28% of the gross proceeds received pursuant to the Merger. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained.
    To prevent backup withholding, each Payee must provide such Payee's correct TIN by completing the " Form W-9" set forth herein, certifying that (i) the TIN provided is correct, (ii) (A) the Payee is exempt from backup withholding, (B) the Payee has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that such Payee is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (C) the IRS has notified the payee that such Payee is no longer subject to backup withholding, and (iii) the Payee is a U.S. Person (including a U.S. resident alien).
    If the Payee does not have a TIN, such Payee should consult the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Form W-9 (the "W-9 Specific Instructions") for instructions on applying for a TIN and apply for and receive a TIN prior to submitting the Form W-9. If the Payee does not provide such Payee's TIN to the Payor by the time of payment, backup withholding will apply.
    If the Shares are held in more than one name or is not in the name of the actual owner, consult the W-9 Specific Instructions for information on which TIN to report.
    Certain Payees (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt Payee should write "EXEMPT" on the Form W-9. See the W-9 Specific Instructions for additional instructions. In order for a nonresident alien or foreign entity to qualify as exempt, such person must submit an appropriate and properly completed Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY, as the case may be, signed under penalties of perjury attesting to such exempt status. Such forms may be obtained from the Paying Agent or the IRS at its Internet website: www.irs.gov.







GUIDELINES FOR CERTIFICATION OF TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION
NUMBER ON FORM W-9

Guidelines for Determining the Proper Identification Number to Give the Payer – Social Security numbers have nine digits separated by two hyphens: i.e. 000-00-0000.

Payers must generally withhold 28% of taxable interest, dividend and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.

Penalties




(1) Penalty for Failure to Furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.
(2) Civil Penalty for False Information With Respect to Withholding. — If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no imposition of backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500.
(3) Civil and Criminal Penalties for False Information. — Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.
(4) Misuse of Taxpayer Identification Numbers. — If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

EXHIBIT C
Delaware General Corporate Law § 262
§ 262. Appraisal rights [For application of this section, see § 17; 82 Del. Laws, c. 45, § 23; and 82 Del. Laws, c. 256, § 24].

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to §228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.
(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:
(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation (or, in the case of a merger pursuant to § 251(h), as of immediately prior to the execution of the agreement of merger), were either: (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:
a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;
b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;
c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or
d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.
(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.
(4) [Repealed.]
(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of



incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the provisions of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d),(e), and (g) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.
(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:
(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with §255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of §114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or
(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of giving such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of giving such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to



the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.
(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon request given in writing (or by electronic transmission directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in the notice of appraisal), shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation (or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, the aggregate number of shares (other than any excluded stock (as defined in § 251(h)(6)d. of this title)) that were the subject of, and were not tendered into, and accepted for purchase or exchange in, the offer referred to in § 251(h)(2)), and, in either case, with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such statement shall be given to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.
(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.
(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder. If immediately before the merger or consolidation the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court shall dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger or consolidation for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.
(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court



shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving corporation may pay to each stockholder entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.
(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.
(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.
(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

WHEREAS, the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative desire that Paying Agent facilitate certain payments due to Company securityholders (“Company Securityholders”) as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which may be subject to reduction or withholding under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and any other applicable law (“Withholding Amounts”), as applicable.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1)Appointment and Acceptance. The Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative hereby appoint PNC Bank, National Association to act as the Paying Agent, and PNC Bank, National Association accepts such appointment to act as Paying Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
2)Account: Payment Fund. On the date hereof (the “Payment Date”) (defined below), Purchaser shall deposit with Paying Agent, pursuant to the wire instructions on Exhibit A, immediately available funds into the payment fund (the “Payment Fund”), sufficient to pay:
a)amounts due to Company Securityholders on the date of payment thereto; and
b)fees due to the Paying Agent at the Closing as set forth on Exhibit B.
The Paying Agent shall receive the initial deposit and any additional deposits and agrees to hold the Payment Fund in a separate and distinct account (the “Account”) which is hereby established and which will be held and disbursed by the Paying Agent only in accordance with the express terms and conditions of this Agreement.
After the Payment Date, from time to time, the following additional deposits may be delivered to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Company Securityholders (the “Additional Amounts”): (i) any portion of the Indemnity Holdback Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement) payable to the Company Securityholders (if any) pursuant to Section 2.8(c) of the Merger Agreement, (ii) any portion of the Adjustment Holdback Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement) payable to the Company Securityholders (if any) pursuant to Section 3.3(e) of the Merger Agreement and (ii) any

3)Spreadsheets and Payments.
a)The Stockholder Representative has caused to be delivered to Paying Agent on the date hereof a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (the “Closing Spreadsheet”) containing a list of the Company Securityholders and the following information for each Company Securityholder:
i)name, address, email address and Tax Identification Number (if available);
ii)for each Company Securityholder who holds Company stock (a “Stockholder”), on a row-by-row basis per security, list the class of stock (e.g. common, preferred), for preferred stock, the series thereof (e.g., Series A, Series B, Series B-1), the number of shares of each (e.g., 4,650 shares), certificate number(s), and the payment amount (expressed in United States (U.S.) dollar amounts, rounded to the second decimal place) for such Stockholder;
iii)for each Company Securityholder who holds Company warrants (a “Warrantholder”), on a row-by-row basis per security, list the class and series of company stock subject thereto, the number of shares of each, the warrant certificate number, issuance date, and the payment amount (expressed in United States (U.S.) dollar amounts, rounded to the second decimal place) for such Warrantholder;
iv)for each Company Securityholder who holds Company options (an “Optionholder”), on a row-by-row basis per option grant, list the number of options granted and the grant date and the payment amount (expressed in United States (U.S.) dollar amounts, rounded to the second decimal place) for such Optionholder; and
v)any other information that a Company Securityholder must verify during completion of the Solicitation Documents (defined below) before such Company Securityholder can receive payment.
To the extent Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative desire Paying Agent to facilitate the payment of Merger Agreement related transaction expenses to non-securityholders (e.g., legal fees, investment banker fees, etc.) (“Transaction Expenses”), the Stockholder Representative shall cause the following information to be included in the Closing Spreadsheet and/or Payment Spreadsheets: payee name, address and wiring instructions.
Unless otherwise directed by Purchaser or the Stockholder Representative, any de minimis amounts attributable to rounding discrepancies may be added to or deducted from payments made to the largest Holder.
b)If the Purchaser or the Stockholder Representative desire Paying Agent to make additional payments beyond those contemplated by Section 2(a), Purchaser or the Stockholder Representative shall provide or cause to be provided to Paying Agent, at least two (2) Business Days prior to date on which such payments shall be made, with an Additional Spreadsheet in the same format as Schedule A (an “Additional Spreadsheet” and, together



with the “Closing Spreadsheet,” the “Payment Spreadsheet(s)”). Solely to the extent applicable, each Payment Spreadsheet shall identify any additional tax reporting direction to the extent it differs from Section 6 of this Agreement.
c)If sufficient funds to cover the dollar amounts allocated on the Payment Spreadsheet(s) are received by Paying Agent in the Payment Fund prior to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Payment Date or applicable date thereafter, Paying Agent shall make commercially reasonable best efforts to process payments to Eligible Payees (defined below) no later than two (2) Business Days after the such date in accordance with the Payment Spreadsheet(s), this Agreement, and each Company Securityholder’s payment instructions provided within the Company Securityholder’s completed Solicitation Documents. On or after the Payment Date, Paying Agent shall pay any Eligible Payees for whom Paying Agent has received all information necessary for such payment to be made. All payments shall be made in United States (U.S.) dollars and shall be made by ACH, check or wire transfer (in each case as requested by each Eligible Payee). The Paying Agent may deduct fees from an Eligible Payees payment if the Eligible Payee elects to receive payment by wire or ACH. The Paying Agent will not deduct fees for payments made by check.
d)On the Payment Date, the Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to the Paying Agent fees for the Paying Agent’s services hereunder as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto. Paying Agent’s agreement to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the fee schedule attached assumes that the Payment Spreadsheets, records of the Company or its transfer agent are accurate, received in a timely fashion and in good order so that conversion of the records may be completed efficiently and additional balancing and/or correcting of the records shall not be not required. If the records are received late, or are inaccurate, incomplete and/or otherwise not in good order, the solicitation process, mailing of materials and payments to Company Securityholders may need to be delayed and additional fees may apply as appropriate for time spent correcting and/or balancing the records. The Stockholder Representative or its counsel shall work with Paying Agent to ensure the accuracy of the Payment Spreadsheet(s) and to correct any inaccuracies or inconsistencies (if any) within the Payment Spreadsheet(s).
e)From time to time after the Payment Date, the Stockholder Representative may provide Additional Spreadsheets regarding the payments of Additional Amounts together with written instructions directing the Paying Agent to make such payments. Once sufficient funds to cover the dollar amounts allocated on the Additional Spreadsheets are received by Paying Agent, Paying Agent shall make commercially reasonable best efforts to process payments to Eligible Payees on the date on which such funds are received (and in no event later than the second Business Day following the date on which such funds are received) in accordance with the applicable Additional Spreadsheets, this Agreement, and each Company Securityholder’s payment instructions provided within the Company Securityholder’s completed Solicitation Documents. Paying Agent shall pay any Eligible Payees for whom Paying Agent has received all information necessary for such payment to be made. All payments shall be made in United States (U.S.) dollars and shall be made by ACH, check or wire transfer (in each case as requested by, and at the expense of, each Eligible Payee).
4)Document Solicitation. Approval.



a)The Paying Agent shall deliver no later than one (1) Business Day after its receipt of the Closing Spreadsheet (the “Solicitation Date”) to each Company Securityholder (using the email address provided in the Closing Spreadsheet) the applicable documents described on Exhibit C (the “Solicitation Documents”) required for completion by each Company Securityholder. Such delivery of Solicitation Documents shall be conducted electronically through Paying Agent’s online portal (“PNC PAID”) or by mail or email if (i) there is no email address for the Company Securityholder or (ii) the Company Securityholder prefers to present the Solicitation Documents offline. Such Delivery of Solicitation Documents was conducted electronically through PNC PAID or by mail if (i) there is no email address for the Company Securityholder or (ii) the Company Securityholder requested the Solicitation Documents offline. Prior to and as a condition of payment, the Company Securityholder will have delivered (online or otherwise) to the Paying Agent Solicitation Documents properly completed in accordance with the instructions therein no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the disbursement of payment thereto by the Paying Agent (such Company Securityholder referred to herein as an “Eligible Payee”). The Paying Agent may reasonably rely on the payment instructions provided by the Eligible Payee within the completed Solicitation Documents without any further authentication or validation of the payment instructions provided for the registered holder. In the event the Stockholder Representative directs Paying Agent to mail the Solicitation Documents, the Paying Agent shall send such Solicitation Documents via mail to the addresses set forth on the Payment Spreadsheet. Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative acknowledge such process may not be as timely as using PNC PAID, and additional fees will apply (as set forth on Exhibit B). Paying Agent shall send a second solicitation via PNC PAID (or, to the extent directed by the Stockholder Representative, a second mailing of Solicitation Documents) to all Company Securityholders that have failed to deliver properly completed Solicitation Documents by the date that is seven (7) months following the Solicitation Date. If requested by Paying Agent, Stockholder Representative or its counsel shall provide instruction concerning any issues related to the completion of any Solicitation Document.
b)The Paying Agent will examine the Solicitation Documents delivered or mailed to the Paying Agent by Company Securityholders to ascertain that (i) the Solicitation Documents are properly completed and duly executed in accordance with the instructions set forth therein, and (ii) any other documents contemplated by a Solicitation Document are properly completed and duly executed in accordance with the applicable Solicitation Document. In cases where any Solicitation Document has been improperly completed or executed or where the shares presented are not in proper form for transfer, or if some other irregularity exists in connection with the surrender of Company stock, Company options or Company warrants, as applicable, the Paying Agent may consult with the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative on taking such actions as are necessary to cause such irregularity to be corrected. In this regard, the Paying Agent is authorized to waive an irregularity in connection with the surrender of shares, options or warrants after review of the irregularity with the Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative and after approval in writing of the Authorized Representatives, provided that the Paying Agent agrees that waiving such irregularity shall not cause the Paying Agent to be subjected to any potential liability related thereto and shall be indemnified in accordance with the terms of Section 7 of this Agreement. In the absence of such approval, the Paying Agent is not authorized to waive any irregularity. In the event the irregularity cannot be remedied with consultation of the Purchaser, the Stockholder Representative or by the Company Securityholders within 30 days of receipt by the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall return the Solicitation



Documents (if provided by mail) and certificates including any related materials to the applicable Company Securityholder indicating the irregularity which prevents the Paying Agent from performing its duties pursuant to this Agreement.
c)The Paying Agent will respond as soon as reasonably practicable to any telephone, electronic mail, or mail requests for information relating to the book-entry shares and the payment of cash with respect thereof. The Stockholder Representative acknowledges that the Paying Agent, in its discretion, may request direction from the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Company Securityholders’ requests, and the Stockholder Representative warrants that each Authorized Representative of the Stockholder Representative is authorized to provide such direction.
d)Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative hereby instruct the Paying Agent that the surrender of physical stock certificates to the Paying Agent is not expressly or strictly required under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, surrender or delivery by Company Securityholders to the Paying Agent of original unit certificates will not be required in connection with the services contemplated by this Agreement.
e)For payments to anyone other than the Company Securityholder listed on the Payment Spreadsheet(s) (a “Transferee”), Paying Agent will not process such payment until it receives from the Transferee satisfactory written instructions/documentation supporting such request including a signature medallion guarantee by an eligible guarantor with the appropriate surety backing covering the dollar amount of the payment or direction from Purchaser or its counsel. A Transferee will be deemed to be an Eligible Payee and will receive all subsequent proceeds under the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The Paying Agent is authorized to consult with the Stockholder Representative or its counsel to resolve any inconsistencies or inaccuracies presented during this payment process.
f)Paying Agent shall require each Eligible Payee to complete and submit an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 or the applicable version of Form W-8, as applicable, and other forms and documents related to tax certification the Paying Agent may reasonably request. If Paying Agent does not receive such documentation, a portion of any payment may be withheld and remitted to the appropriate tax authorities, as required by the Code, or by state and local laws.
g)The individuals (“Authorized Representatives”) set forth on Exhibit D-1 and Exhibit D-2 are authorized to take action, give direction or execute documents on behalf of the Purchaser and Stockholder Representative, respectively, or to take any such other actions on behalf of the Purchaser or the Stockholder Representative, respectively, as may be set forth herein. For any funds transfer instructions directed by the Purchaser or the Stockholder Representative outside of the Payment Spreadsheet or completed Solicitation Documents, the Paying Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such funds transfer instructions by a single telephone call-back to one of the applicable Authorized Representatives. Paying Agent, acting reasonably, may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be that Authorized Representative. The persons and telephone numbers designated for call-backs may be changed only in writing executed by an Authorized Representative and received by Paying Agent. No funds will be disbursed until an Authorized Representative is able to confirm such instructions by telephone call-back. The Stockholder Representative



acknowledges this security procedure set forth herein to be commercially reasonable. The Paying Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by the Company Securityholders or confirmed by an Authorized Representative. The Stockholder Representative acknowledges that there are certain security, corruption, transmission error and access availability risks associated with using open networks such as the internet and the Stockholder Representative assumes such risks.
h)The Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative may instruct Paying Agent to grant certain authorized individuals, (each an “Authorized Individual”), as set forth on Exhibit E-1 and E-2, respectively, access to information regarding the Payment Fund via PNC PAID. Each Authorized Individual must agree to comply with the PNC PAID Terms and Conditions and any other provisions required by Paying Agent to access PNC PAID. The Purchaser must provide written notice to Paying Agent to change or remove any access previously authorized and granted. The Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative each understands that revocation of the authorization will not affect any action taken by Paying Agent, or any information that Paying Agent has already released based upon the Purchaser or the Stockholder Representative’s previously granted authorization, prior to Paying Agent’s actual receipt and processing of any request to change or remove the Authorized Individual.
i)The Authorized Individual may disclose any Confidential Information to its affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, auditors and/or agents (collectively, “Authorized Individual Representatives”) who need to know such information, provided that such Authorized Individual Representatives have agreed in writing to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information in a manner no less protective than as set forth herein.
5)Tax Certifications and Reporting.
a)Subject to Section 4(c), Paying Agent, Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser agree to the following tax reporting for U.S. Tax purposes:
i)Payments to Stockholders and/or Warrantholders who are U.S. Persons. Unless otherwise identified by the Stockholder Representative on the Payment Spreadsheet as dividends, interest or other reportable income (collectively, “Other Income”) not reportable on IRS Form 1099-B, for each Stockholder and/or Warrantholder who is a US person, Paying Agent will prepare and file IRS Form 1099-B and any other applicable U.S. tax forms and report such payments as gross proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stockholder Representative set forth on the Payment Spreadsheet that payments made by the Paying Agent to a Stockholder and/or Warrantholder who is a U.S. person are Other Income, Stockholder Representative will cause to be provided the applicable Withholding Amounts on the Payment Spreadsheet for any such payments and Paying Agent will prepare and file the applicable U.S. tax forms as instructed by the Stockholder Representative.
ii)Payments to Stockholders and/or Warrantholder who are Foreign Payees. Unless otherwise identified by the Stockholder Representative on the Payment



Spreadsheet as Other Income, for each Stockholder and/or Warrantholder who is a Non-Resident Alien “NRA” individual or foreign entity (referred to herein as a “Foreign Payee”), Paying Agent will not report or withhold from gross proceed payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stockholder Representative sets forth on the Payment Spreadsheet that payments made by the Paying Agent to Foreign Payees are Other Income, the Stockholder Representative will cause to be provided the applicable Withholding Amounts on the Payment Spreadsheet for any such payments and Paying Agent will make the appropriate withholding and prepare and file IRS Form 1042-S (or any other appropriate tax form).
iii)Payments to Non-Employee Option Holders who are U.S. Persons. Paying Agent will prepare and file IRS Form 1099-NEC (or any other appropriate tax form) for any payments made by the Paying Agent to Non-Employee Optionholders who are U.S. persons (actual or presumed).
iv)Payments to Non-Employee Option Holders who are Non-Resident Aliens. Paying Agent will not report nor withhold any amounts for a Foreign Payee Non-Employee Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stockholder Representativesets forth on the Payment Spreadsheet that payments made by the Paying Agent to Non-Employee Optionholders are for options in lieu of wages for work performed within the United States (including any territories thereof), the Stockholder Representative shall cause to be provided the applicable Withholding Amounts on the Payment Spreadsheet for any such payments and Paying Agent shall make the appropriate withholding and prepare and file IRS Form 1042-S (or any other appropriate tax form).
v)The securities being sold pursuant to the Merger Agreement shall not be classified as “covered securities” for purposes of the reporting requirements of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 6045A of the IRC unless represented on the Closing Spreadsheet to the Paying Agent that the securities are “covered securities” for such purposes. If the securities are represented as “covered securities”, each Company Securityholder’s date of acquisition and cost basis for the applicable security shall be included on the Closing Spreadsheet, along with such other information as is reasonably requested by the Paying Agent for sending accurate and complete IRS Form 1099-B information to the Company Securityholders.
b)The Paying Agent will not report nor withhold from any amounts set forth on the Payment Spreadsheet as Transaction Expenses. The Paying Agent will have no obligation to collect any tax forms and the Paying Agent will not be deemed payor, nor withholding agent for any amounts set forth as Transaction Expenses.
c)The Stockholder Representative agrees the Paying Agent may seek tax counsel or advice from tax experts with respect to reporting and withholding as required by this Agreement or applicable tax law. Except as otherwise agreed herein, the Stockholder Representative acknowledges the Paying Agent has full, complete and final authority regarding all determinations concerning withholding requirements and responsibilities in accordance with applicable federal and state tax certification and reporting regulations.
6)Duties of Paying Agent.



a)The Paying Agent shall have no duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or as may be subsequently agreed in writing by Purchaser and Paying Agent which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature and no other duties, including but not limited to any fiduciary duty and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement.
b)The Paying Agent shall be protected in relying and acting, or refusing to act, without further investigation upon any certificate or certification, instruction, direction, statement, request, consent, agreement, records, or other instrument (collectively “Certificates and Instructions”) whatsoever furnished to the Paying Agent by an Authorized Representative, not only as to its due execution and validity and the effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information therein contained, which the Paying Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine or to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons. The Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for the accuracy or inaccuracy of such Certificates and Instructions.
c)The Paying Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder which might, in Paying Agent’s sole judgment, require Paying Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability or to take any legal action or commence any proceeding in connection with this Agreement.
d)The Paying Agent may consult counsel satisfactory to Paying Agent and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by Paying Agent in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion of counsel and such advice of counsel.
e)The Paying Agent shall have no obligation to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement unless Purchaser has deposited sufficient amounts to fund such payments.
f)Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative acknowledge and agree that the Paying Agent is not a party to, is wholly unfamiliar with, is not bound by, and has no duties or obligations under the Merger Agreement and that all references in this Agreement to the Merger Agreement are for convenience, and that the Paying Agent shall have no implied duties beyond the express duties set forth in this Agreement. Any inconsistency between this Agreement on the one hand and the Merger Agreement and the Solicitation Documents on the other shall be resolved in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Solicitation Documents, with the qualification that (i) the Paying Agent is not a party to the Merger Agreement and as such is not subject to its terms, as noted above, and (ii) the rights and obligations of the Paying Agent shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement. The Paying Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any failure of any party to the Merger Agreement or any Company Securityholder to comply with any of such party’s obligations relating to the Merger, including without limitation, obligations under applicable securities laws.
g)The Paying Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or, with Purchaser’s prior written consent, through agents or attorneys.
h)The Paying Agent is authorized to comply with a legal garnishment, attachment, levy, restraining notice or court order that is validly served with respect to any of the Payment Fund, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court of



competent jurisdiction, Paying Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to obey and comply with all such orders so entered or issued, whether with or without jurisdiction, and in the event that Paying Agent obeys or complies with any such order it shall not be liable to the Purchaser or to any other person by reason of such compliance notwithstanding such order be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.
i)The Account shall be maintained in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations and policies and procedures of general applicability to accounts established by the Paying Agent.
j)Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative understand and acknowledge that The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“PNC”) offers a diversified set of financial products and services, and may currently, or in the future, have relationships with parties whose interests may conflict with the interests of Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative. For the avoidance of doubt, although Stockholder Representative is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paying Agent, Paying Agent shall act in all respects in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
7)Indemnification; Exculpation.
a)Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative (solely on behalf of the Company Securityholders and in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative, not in its individual capacity) jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Paying Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, costs, damages or expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred or made, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the performance of the Paying Agent’s obligations under the provisions of this Agreement or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding related to any of the foregoing (including with respect to the successful defense, in whole or in part, of a claim that the Paying Agent engaged in willful misconduct, or acted with gross negligence, whether or not any such indemnified parties is a party thereto, including but not limited to, withholding or employment taxes or related amounts payable in respect of a payment made hereunder, acting, or refusing to act, in reliance upon any signature, endorsement, assignment, certificate, order, request, notice, report, instructions, record, including but not limited to records concerning tax certification and cost basis information provided to it, or other instrument or document believed by the Paying Agent in good faith to be valid, genuine and sufficient; provided, however, such indemnification shall not apply to any such act or omission finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Paying Agent. As between Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative, any indemnity paid to any indemnitee hereunder shall be borne by the party determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be responsible for causing the indemnitee losses against which the Paying Agent is entitled to indemnification or, if no such determination is made, then 50% by Purchaser and 50% by the Stockholder Representative (provided that any amounts paid by the Stockholder Representative shall be solely on behalf of the Company Securityholders).



b)The indemnities provided in Section 7 shall survive the resignation or discharge of the Paying Agent or the termination or assignment of this Agreement. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: in no event shall the Paying Agent be liable under or in connection with the Agreement for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Paying Agent has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought’ and Paying Agent shall be liable to Parent only for actual, direct damages that are solely attributable to the Paying Agent’s fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing duties as outlined in this Paying Agent Agreement.
c)The Paying Agent shall give written notice as promptly as practicable to Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative of any suit, claim, proceeding, demand or liability of which the Paying Agent has received written notice (collectively, "Claim") arising out of or in connection with the performance of the Paying Agent's obligations under the provisions of this Agreement and will reasonably cooperate with the Stockholder Representative, at the Stockholder Representative’s expense, in the defense or settlement thereof. Failure to provide prompt notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the Stockholder Representative has actually and materially been prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Stockholder Representative shall have sole control over the defense of any Claim and of all negotiations for its settlement or compromise, including the retention of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agent; provided that the Paying Agent shall have the right to be represented in any such action or proceeding by independent counsel of the Paying Agent's own choice, which independent counsel's fees shall be paid solely by the Paying Agent unless (1) the Stockholder Representative has failed to assume the defense thereof, (2) the Stockholder Representative and the Paying Agent have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (3) the Stockholder Representative or Paying Agent determines in its reasonable judgment that with respect to the defense of such Claim (A) there may be legal defenses available to the Paying Agent that are not available to the Stockholder Representative or (B) a conflict of interest exists between the Stockholder Representative and the Payment Agent, in which case such fees shall be paid by the Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative may not, without the prior written consent of the Paying Agent, enter into any settlement or compromise of any Claim unless such settlement or compromise includes (1) an unconditional release of the Paying Agent from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Claim, (2) does not imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Paying Agent and (3) does not include a statement or admission of fault or culpability by or on behalf of the Paying Agent.
8)Term. This Agreement shall terminate upon (i) the completion of the exchange of all securities and other payments subject to this Agreement or (ii) the completion of all unclaimed property reporting and escheatment obligations arising in connection with the duties of the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser any certificates, funds or other property then held by the Paying Agent relating to the Purchaser or the Company. After such time, any party entitled to such certificates, funds or property shall look solely to Purchaser, and not the Paying Agent therefor, and all liability of the Paying Agent with respect thereto shall cease. If after seven years from the date hereof any shares, warrants or options remain unexchanged or other payments remain unpaid and moneys and/or securities on deposit hereunder are not escheatable in accordance with unclaimed property laws



and regulations, then Paying Agent may terminate this Agreement and any remaining property may be delivered to Purchaser. Thereafter, Purchaser shall be responsible for compliance with unclaimed property obligations.
9)Unclaimed Property Administration.
a)Subject to applicable unclaimed property laws, the Paying Agent will initiate unclaimed property reporting services for unclaimed shares and related cash distributions, which may be deemed abandoned or otherwise subject to applicable unclaimed property law or regulation. Such services may include preparation of unclaimed property reports, delivery of abandoned property to various states, completion of required due diligence notifications, responses to inquiries from owners, and such other services as may reasonably be necessary to comply with applicable unclaimed property laws or regulations. In connection with the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall assist the Paying Agent and provide such cooperation as may reasonably be necessary in the performance of the services hereunder. Paying Agent or its duly appointed agent shall remit unclaimed funds to the appropriate state or jurisdiction, as provided for under applicable unclaimed property law or regulation.
b) To the extent required by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 17Ad-17 (17 CFR § 240.17Ad-17), Paying Agent will provide one (1) written notification to each Company Securityholder who becomes an “unresponsive payee” (as defined in Rule 17Ad-17(c)(3)) that such Company Securityholder has been sent a check that has not yet been negotiated, no later than 210 days (seven (7) months) after the sending of the not yet negotiated check to such Company Securityholder.
10)Notices. Any notice, request for consent, report, or any other communication required or permitted in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered by electronic mail to the e-mail address given below, provided that written confirmation of receipt is obtained promptly from the recipient after completion of the electronic mail transmission, provided that notices will be deemed to have been given to the Paying Agent on the actual date received, provided further, that with respect to notices delivered to the Stockholder Representative, such notices shall be delivered solely via email:

Notwithstanding this requirement, even if Parties mutually agree to disbursement to a third party, Escrow Agent is not obligated to make such disbursement to an account controlled by an entity other than Depositor or Beneficiary if doing so violates Escrow Agent policy or may create regulatory risk or obligation on Escrow Agent.
Section 6.2. Parties agree that any disbursements made are final. Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to attempt a return of funds absent a showing of gross negligence or willful misconduct by Escrow Agent.
SECTION 7. INSTRUCTIONS AND DIRECTIONS TO AGENT.



Instructions to Escrow Agent shall be provided by the Parties via email to the following email address: grouescrowservices@svb.com
If Escrow Agent receives an instruction after (12 PM Pacific Time), such instruction shall be considered received on the next Business Day. A “Business Day” means any day that Escrow Agent is open, which is all days except Saturdays, Sundays, federal holidays, or when closures or emergency conditions occur due to unforeseen circumstances outside of Escrow Agent’s control.
Escrow Agent provides certain procedures, features and functionality (“Security Procedures”) to help secure and protect account data from misuse, fraud, and theft and to verify the authenticity of directions received.

The Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to disregard any and all notices or instructions given by any person or entity, except notices or instructions as provided for in this Agreement by the undersigned or an Authorized Signer (as such phrase is used in the Deposit Agreement), if designated, and orders or process of any court entered or issued with or without jurisdiction. If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished, or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment, or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any party hereto, then in any such events, the Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree with which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree it shall not be liable to any other party hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, or vacated.
SECTION 8. Agent’s Right to Rely on Genuineness of Instrument.
The Escrow Agent may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any instrument furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to have been signed or presented by the appropriate party or parties described in this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible nor liable in any respect on account of the lack of authority, or lack of right of any such person executing, or delivering or purporting to execute, deposit or deliver any such document, funds or endorsement of this Agreement or on account of or by reason of forgeries, or false representations.

Depositor and Beneficiary grant Escrow Agent a security interest in any Escrow Account, including all current or future deposits or renewals and the interest proceeds thereof, for amounts owing to Escrow Agent now or later under this Agreement or any related agreement. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 10. Disagreements.
In the event of any disagreement between the parties and/or any other person, resulting in an adverse claim or demand being made in connection with this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall not become liable to the parties for damages or interest for Escrow Agent’s failure or refusal to comply with conflicting or adverse demands, and Escrow Agent may continue to refuse to act until the disagreement is resolved by the parties or by the court in which the Escrow Agent files a request for interpleader.
SECTION 11. JURY TRIAL WAIVER; JUDICIAL REFERENCE



TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, IF A DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN ANY PARTY REGARDING THE AGREEMENT OR ANY SERVICE, ALL PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO REQUEST A JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL. WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if and to the extent the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a referee who shall be a retired state or federal judge with judicial experience in civil matters, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The referenced proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 638 through 645.2, inclusive. The referee shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential, and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a referee has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the appropriate court in the Northern District of the State of California for such relief. The proceeding before the referee shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery, which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The referee shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed referee shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 644(a). The referee shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation and enforceability of this paragraph. The following matters shall not be subject to reference to a referee as set forth in this paragraph: (i) non-judicial foreclosure of any collateral (real or personal property), (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including set off or recoupment), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions).
SECTION 12. WAIVER.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANYWHERE ELSE, DEPOSITOR AND BENEFICIARY EACH WAIVE, AND THEY AGREE THAT THEY SHALL NOT SEEK FROM ESCROW AGENT UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY THEORY IN TORT), ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

If Depositor and Beneficiary are unable to appoint a successor escrow agent within thirty days and there is property held under this Agreement, then Depositor and Beneficiary shall cause the property to be disbursed.
If, upon resignation and termination of Escrow Agent, funds are not able to be disbursed, and neither Depositor nor Beneficiary are able to provide mutually agreed upon instructions for disposition of funds, Parties acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent may interplead any or all Escrow Account funds to a court of competent jurisdiction for interpleading purposes.
