The Member Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Expense Fund Distribution Amount shall be retained in whole or in part by or on behalf of the Company Securityholders until such time as the Member Representative shall determine in its sole discretion, at which time the Member Representative shall promptly deliver (i) the Surviving LLC Pro Rata Percentage of the remaining Expense Fund Distribution Amount to the Surviving LLC (for further distribution to the applicable Distributable Members, as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, in accordance with their Distributable Surviving LLC Payments Pro Rata Percentage) and (ii) the Paying Agent Pro Rata Percentage of the remaining Expense Fund Distribution Amount to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the applicable Distributable Members, as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, in accordance with their Distributable Paying Agent Payments Pro Rata Percentage).

If Member Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Member Representative. If Member Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Parent and Member Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Parent and Member Representative, shall be final and binding. (iii) Resolutions of Disputes.

27 (iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Member Representative, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Member Representative or Parent, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Member Representative and Parent.

To the extent that, on the one hand, on or prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Merger Date, the Surviving LLC has not actually paid, in the aggregate, the full amount of the Aggregate Itemized Tax Liability (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is $256,701) in respect of the State Income Tax Liability, the State Withholding Tax Liability, the Vesting of Unvested Class A Nonvoting Shares Tax Liability, and/or the California Tax Liability, to the appropriate Governmental Authority, then Parent shall pay (or shall cause the Surviving LLC to pay) an amount (such amount, the “Tax Adjustment Amount”) equal to the difference between (a) the Aggregate Itemized Tax Liability less (b) the aggregate amount of Taxes actually paid to such appropriate Governmental Authority in respect of the State Income Tax Liability, the State Withholding Tax Liability, the Vesting of Unvested Class A Nonvoting Shares Tax Liability and/or the California Tax liability, of which Parent shall pay (i) the Surviving LLC the Surviving LLC Pro Rata Percentage of the Tax Adjustment Amount (for further distribution to the applicable Distributable Members, as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, in accordance with their Distributable Surviving LLC Payments Pro Rata Percentage) and (ii) the Paying Agent the Paying Agent Pro Rata Percentage of the Tax Adjustment Amount (for further distribution to the applicable Distributable Members, as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, in accordance with their Distributable Paying Agent Payments Pro Rata Percentage). To the extent that, on the other hand, on or prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Merger Date, the Surviving LLC has actually paid an amount, in the aggregate, in excess of the Aggregate Itemized Tax Liability in respect of the State Income Tax Liability, State Withholding Tax Liability, the Vesting of Unvested Class A Nonvoting Shares Tax Liability, and/or the California Tax Liability, then Parent and the Member Representative shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release from the Tax Escrow Amount an amount equal to the excess of the aggregate of such payments over the Aggregate Itemized Tax Liability (such amount, the “Deficit Amount”) to the Surviving LLC; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent’s and the Surviving LLC’s sole and exclusive recourse for the Deficit Amount, if any, shall be to the Tax Escrow Amount; provided, further, that to the extent any funds remain (or would remain) in

60 the Tax Escrow Amount following such release of the Deficit Amount to the Surviving LLC, the joint instructions shall further direct the Escrow Agent to release to (i) the Surviving LLC the Surviving LLC Pro Rata Percentage of such remaining funds of the Tax Escrow Amount (for further distribution to the applicable Distributable Members, as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, in accordance with their Distributable Surviving LLC Payments Pro Rata Percentage) and (ii) the Paying Agent the Paying Agent Pro Rata Percentage of such remaining funds of the Tax Escrow Amount (for further distribution to the applicable Distributable Members, as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, in accordance with their Distributable Paying Agent Payments Pro Rata Percentage). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto further agree and acknowledge that (a) items (i), (j), (k) and (l) of the definition of Indebtedness relating to the State Income Tax Liability, State Withholding Tax Liability, the Vesting of Unvested Class A Nonvoting Shares Tax Liability, and/or the California Tax Liability shall not be subject to modification, adjustment or deviation under Sections 2.17(b)-(e) of this Agreement and (b) the State Income Tax Liability, State Withholding Tax Liability, the Vesting of Unvested Class A Nonvoting Shares Tax Liability, and/or the California Tax Liability shall not be included in Current Liabilities, Transaction Expenses or as another item of Indebtedness under this Agreement. Section 6.04 Tax Returns. Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by any of the Acquired Companies after the Execution Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including for any Straddle Period). Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and, if it is a Tax Return that relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, shall be submitted by Parent to Member Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Member Representative, supporting documentation) at least 30 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Member Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, it shall, within 20 Business Days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Parent in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Parent and Member Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Parent and Member Representative are unable to reach such agreement within 10 days after receipt by Parent of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant and any determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final. The Independent Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within 20 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Parent and then promptly amended to reflect the Independent Accountant's resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Parent and the Member Representative. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company or the Surviving LLC that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period shall be exclusively within the control of Parent. Section 6.05 Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins on or before and ends after the Merger Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be: (a) in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the purchase, acquisition, sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld or otherwise relating to payroll, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended at the close of the Merger Date; and

61 (b) in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending through and including the Merger Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period. Section 6.06 Reserved. Section 6.07 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Member Representative, the Company, including the Converted LLC or Surviving LLC if applicable, and Parent shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the others in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article VI or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company, including the Converted LLC or Surviving LLC if applicable. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of Member Representative, the Company and Parent shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company, including the Converted LLC or Surviving LLC if applicable, for any taxable period beginning before the Merger Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by any of the other parties in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Merger Date, Member Representative, the Company, including the Converted LLC or Surviving LLC if applicable, or Parent (as the case may be) shall provide the other parties with reasonable written notice and offer the other parties the opportunity to take custody of such materials. Section 6.08 Tax Refunds. Any Tax refunds that are received by Parent or the Company, including the Converted LLC or Surviving LLC if applicable (or any Affiliate of Parent, the Company, the Converted LLC or the Surviving LLC) on or after the Merger Date, to the extent such Tax refunds (x) are attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company, and (y) were paid by the Company prior to the Merger Date or were included in the calculation of Indebtedness of the Company, as finally determined, shall be for the benefit of the Members and Parent shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, remit or cause to be remitted such Tax refunds to the Paying Agent for the benefit and further disbursement to the Members in accordance with each such Member’s Refund Pro Rata Percentage; provided, that if any Tax Liability remains outstanding under Section 6.03, Parent shall not be required to remit or cause to be remitted such Tax refunds until ten (10) Business Days after such Tax Liability has been paid pursuant to Section 6.03. ARTICLE VII SURVIVAL; R&W INSURANCE POLICY; REIMBURSEMENT Section 7.01 Survival. The parties, intending to modify any applicable statute of limitations, agree that (a) representations and warranties in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall terminate effective as of the Transaction Effective Time and shall not survive the Closing for any purpose, and thereafter there shall be no liability on the part of, nor shall any claim be made by, any party or any of its respective Affiliates in respect thereof, and (b) after the Transaction Effective Time, there shall be no liability on the part of, nor shall any claim be made by, any party or any of its respective Affiliates in respect of any covenant or agreement to be performed prior to the Transaction Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall preclude any party

62 from (i) solely for purposes of a claim for Fraud described in the immediately following clause (ii) below, reasonably relying on any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, (ii) seeking or obtaining any remedy in the case of Fraud, or (iii) enforcing, against the applicable party thereto, any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document that by its terms contemplates performance in whole or in part after the Transaction Effective Time. Furthermore, (x) nothing herein will limit or affect Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ liability for the failure to pay (without duplication) the Merger Consideration or any other amounts payable by them, in each case, in whole or in part, as and when required by this Agreement and (y) nothing herein will limit or affect Parent’s ability to recover under the R&W Insurance Policy. Section 7.02 R&W Insurance Policy. (a) Prior to the Transaction Effective Time, Parent shall obtain, at the sole cost and expense of the Company Securityholders (which such R&W Policy Expenses shall be treated as Transaction Expenses), a buyer-side representation and warranty insurance policy in respect of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered in connection with this Agreement (the “R&W Insurance Policy”). (b) It is the expectation of Parent and the Company Securityholders that the Company Securityholders are responsible to Parent for amounts, up to the Retention Escrow Amount, for insurable claims (but for the retention) under the R&W Insurance Policy to the extent such obligation is incurred prior to the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Merger Date (the “Company Securityholders’ Retention Obligation”), regardless of whether such claim is equal to or in excess of the R&W Policy Retention Amount. As such, if, prior to the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Merger Date, Parent has one or more claims under the R&W Insurance Policy, whether or not such claims exceed the R&W Policy Retention Amount, Parent and the Member Representative shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days of Parent’s delivery to the Member Representative of any such claim and reasonable supporting detail thereof, deliver a joint written authorization to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Parent an amount equal to the lesser of such claim against the R&W Insurance Policy and the Company Securityholders’ Retention Obligation, which shall be satisfied solely from funds held in escrow by the Escrow Agent in respect of the Retention Escrow Amount. Any such release from the Retention Escrow Amount shall reduce the Company Securityholders’ Retention Obligation by a corresponding amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the sole and exclusive recourse for Parent for the Company Securityholders’ Retention Obligation shall be solely the funds held in escrow by the Escrow Agent in respect of the Retention Escrow Amount. (c) If, on or after the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Merger Date, Parent is entitled to coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy but the R&W Policy Retention Amount is not yet satisfied, then such R&W Policy Retention Amount shall be borne by and the responsibility of Parent. (d) On the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Merger Date, the Member Representative and Parent shall deliver a joint written authorization to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to (i) the Surviving LLC the Surviving LLC Pro Rata Percentage (for further distribution to the applicable Distributable Members, as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, in accordance with their Distributable Surviving LLC Payments Pro Rata Percentage) and (ii) the Paying Agent the Paying Agent Pro Rata Percentage (for further distribution to the applicable Distributable Members, as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, in accordance with

63 their Distributable Paying Agent Payments Pro Rata Percentage) of the balance of the Retention Escrow Amount. (e) Parent shall provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide reasonable comments to the R&W Insurance Policy prior to binding coverage. (f) Parent shall ensure that the R&W Insurance Policy contains a waiver by the insurer of the insurer’s rights to bring any claim against the Company and its current and former members, Members, equity holders, controlling Persons, managers, directors, officers, employees, Representatives, Affiliates, general or limited partners or assignees (or any current and former members, Members, equity holders, controlling Persons, managers, directors, officers, employees, Representatives, Affiliates, general or limited partners or assignees of any of the foregoing) by way of subrogation, claim for contribution, or otherwise (other than in the case of Fraud), and that such Persons shall be third-party beneficiaries of such waiver. (g) Parent shall not waive or amend, and shall not permit any other Person to waive or amend, the R&W Insurance Policy in a manner inconsistent with Section 7.02(f) without the Member Representative’s prior written consent, which consent the Member Representative may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. (h) If the R&W Insurance Policy by its terms provides coverage for intentional fraud, then prior to asserting any claim for Fraud, Parent shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to recover all amounts due under the R&W Insurance Policy in accordance with the terms thereof. (i) Parent shall provide the Member Representative with a true and complete copy of the final and issued R&W Insurance Policy as soon as reasonably practicable following the Merger Date. (j) For the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to the extent expressly set forth in Section 7.02(b) with respect to the retention, R&W Policy Expenses (other than the retention) in excess of $610,519.30 shall be borne and paid by Parent. Section 7.03 Exclusive Remedies. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 8.12 and except in the case of Fraud, each of Parent and Merger Sub, on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and its Affiliates for any claim related to, arising under or in connection with a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall be to make a claim against the R&W Insurance Policy. Except in the case of Fraud, none of the Company Securityholders or any of their Affiliates shall have any direct or indirect liability of any kind or nature in connection with the R&W Insurance Policy or to the insurer thereunder. The provisions of this Section 7.03 shall still apply (a) if the R&W Insurance Policy is never issued by the insurer, (b) if the R&W Insurance Policy is revoked, cancelled or modified in any manner after issuance, or (c) Parent makes a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy in respect of any breach of representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection with this Agreement and such claim is denied by the insurer. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the limitations in this Section 7.03 shall preclude Parent or Merger Sub from bringing an Action for (i) specific performance or other equitable remedy to require the performance of the Company’s or any Member’s obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (ii) Fraud. Section 7.04 Reimbursement of Thompson Dispute Losses. In the event Parent or the Surviving LLC incurs or suffers a Thompson Dispute Liability prior to the Thompson Escrow Release

64 Event, Parent and the Member Representative shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days of Parent’s delivery to the Member Representative of written notice of the incurrence of a Thompson Dispute Liability and reasonable supporting detail thereof, deliver a joint written authorization to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Parent or Surviving LLC an amount equal to such Thompson Dispute Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, the sole and exclusive recourse for Parent and Surviving LLC shall be solely the funds held in escrow by the Escrow Agent in respect of the Thompson Escrow Amount. ARTICLE VIII MISCELLANEOUS Section 8.01 Member Representative (a) By executing or approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or by executing and delivering a letter of transmittal, or by otherwise receiving the benefits thereof, including any consideration payable hereunder, each Company Securityholder shall have irrevocably authorized and appointed Member Representative as such Person’s representative, agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Person with respect to this Agreement and any related agreements, and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by Member Representative pursuant to this Agreement and any related agreements, including the exercise of the power to: (i) give and receive notices and communications; (ii) authorize delivery to Parent of cash from the Escrow Amount in satisfaction of any amounts owed to Parent in satisfaction of claims made by Parent pursuant to Section 2.17, Article VI and Article VII; (iii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises or, and comply with order to otherwise handle any other matters described in Section 2.17. (iv) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to claims made by Parent pursuant to Article VI and Article VII; (v) litigate, arbitrate, resolve, settle or compromise any claim pursuant to Article VI and Article VII; (vi) execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this Agreement and any Ancillary Document; (vii) make all elections or decisions contemplated by this Agreement and any Ancillary Document; (viii) engage, employ or appoint any agents or representatives (including attorneys, accountants and consultants) to assist Member Representative in complying with its duties and obligations; and (ix) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of Member Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.

65 (b) Parent shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Member Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement (including Article VII and with respect to any claim made by any Company Securityholder, which claims, if any, must be made solely by and through the Member Representative, thereunder or otherwise relating to this Agreement) and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Member by Member Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Member by Member Representative, as being fully binding upon such Person. Notices or communications to or from Member Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Company Securityholders. Any decision or action by Member Representative hereunder, including any agreement between Member Representative and Parent relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all Company Securityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Person. No Member shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section, including the power of attorney granted hereby, are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not be terminated by any act of any one Member, or by operation of Law. (c) Member Representative may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of a majority in interest of the Company Securityholders according to each Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share (the “Majority Holders”); provided, however, in no event shall Member Representative be removed without the Majority Holders having first appointed a new Member Representative who shall assume such duties immediately upon the removal of Member Representative. Member Representative may resign at any time upon twenty (20) days’ notice to Parent and the Company Securityholders that are parties to that certain Engagement Letter by and among Member Representative and certain of the Company Securityholders, provided, that in the event of such resignation, the Majority Holders shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days) appoint a new Member Representative. In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation or removal of Member Representative, a new Member Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the Majority Holders. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Member Representative shall be sent to Parent, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such notice is received by Parent; provided, that until such notice is received, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving LLC shall be entitled to rely on the decisions and actions of the prior Member Representative as described in Section 8.01(a) above. (d) Member Representative will incur no liability in connection with its services pursuant to this Agreement and any related agreements except to the extent resulting from its fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Member Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Company Securityholders shall indemnify Member Representative against any reasonable, documented, and out-of-pocket losses, liabilities and expenses (“Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any related agreements, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been caused by the fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Member Representative, Member Representative will reimburse the Company Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Representative Losses may be recovered by Member Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund Distribution Amount and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Company Securityholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Securityholders; provided, that while Member Representative may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not

66 relieve the Company Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will Member Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Securityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Company Securityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to Member Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of Member Representative or the termination of this Agreement. (e) Member Representative covenants and agrees: (i) to treat all Confidential Information as strictly confidential; (ii) not to directly or indirectly disclose, publish, communicate or make available Confidential Information, in whole or part, to any Person not having a need to know and authority to know and use the Confidential Information; and (iii) not to access or use any Confidential Information, and not to copy any documents, records, files, media or other resources containing any Confidential Information, or remove any such documents, records, files, media or other resources from the premises or control of Parent or Surviving LLC, except as required in the performance of Member Representative’s duties in connection with this Agreement or the agreements ancillary hereto. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Member Representative of the covenants contained in this Section 8.01(e), Member Representative hereby consents and agrees that Parent and Surviving LLC shall be entitled to seek, in addition to other available remedies, a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages or other available forms of relief. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following the Closing, Member Representative shall be permitted to disclose information as required by law or to advisors and representatives of Member Representative and to the Company Securityholders, in each case who have a need to know such information, provided that such persons are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect thereto. Section 8.02 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Merger shall have occurred. Section 8.03 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

Prior to the Merger Effective Time, this Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company; provided, however, that after the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, there shall be no amendment or waiver that, pursuant to applicable Law, requires further approval of the Members, without the receipt of such further approvals. Notwithstanding to foregoing, prior to the Merger Effective Time, to the extent such amendment, modification or supplement has an adverse effect on the Member Representative, such amendment, modification or supplement must also be signed by the Member Representative. Following the Merger Effective Time, this Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by Parent, Surviving LLC and the Member Representative. Any failure of Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the Company or, following the Closing, Member Representative (with respect to any failure by Parent or Merger Sub) or by Parent or Merger Sub (with respect to any failure by the Company or Member Representative), respectively, only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

No later than four (4) Business Days after the Execution Date, the Company shall deliver a complete copy of the Data Room to Parent (as constituted as of the Execution Date) on one or more mobile drives (or other digital storage device as Parent and the Company agree).

71 Section 8.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement. Section 8.15 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the Persons that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, Affiliate or Representative of any party hereto or of any Affiliate of any party hereto, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any Action based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 8.15 shall not apply to Section 8.01, which shall be enforceable by Member Representative in its entirety against the Company Securityholders. Section 8.16 Conflict Waiver; Attorney-Client Privilege. (a) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, Members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that: (i) Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP has acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Acquisition Engagement”). Parent agrees, and shall cause the Surviving LLC to agree, that, following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, such representation and any prior representation of the Company by Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP (or any successor) (the “Seller Group Law Firm”) shall not preclude Seller Group Law Firm from serving as counsel to any director, manager, member, Member, partner, officer, or employee of the Company or its Affiliates (the “Seller Group”), in connection with any litigation, claim, or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. (ii) Parent shall not, and shall cause the Surviving LLC not to, seek or have Seller Group Law Firm disqualified from any such representation set forth in Section 8.16(a)(i) based on the prior representation of the Company by Seller Group Law Firm. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising from such prior representation, and each of such parties shall cause any of its Affiliates to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. Each of the parties acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in connection herewith. The covenants, consent and waiver contained in this Section 8.16(a) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Seller Group Law Firm is entitled whether pursuant to Law, Contract, or otherwise. (b) All communications prior to Merger Effective Time between the Seller Group or the Company, on the one hand, and Seller Group Law Firm, on the other hand, but solely to the extent that such communications relate to the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the

72 consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client privileged and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall survive Closing, and from and after Closing shall belong solely to the Seller Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent or the Surviving LLC. Accordingly, Parent and the Surviving LLC shall not have access to any Privileged Communications or to the files of Seller Group Law Firm relating to the Acquisition Engagement from and after Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (i) the Seller Group (and not Parent or the Surviving LLC) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Acquisition Engagement and such Privileged Communications, and none of Parent or the Surviving LLC shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Seller Group Law Firm in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Seller Group (and not Parent nor the Surviving LLC) shall hold such property rights and (iii) Seller Group Law Firm shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any Privileged Communications or files to Parent or the Surviving LLC by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Seller Group Law Firm and the Company or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that after Closing a dispute arises between Parent or its Affiliates (including the Surviving LLC), on the one hand, and a third party other than any of the Seller Group, on the other hand, Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving LLC) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving LLC) may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Member Representative (on behalf of the Seller Group), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving LLC) is legally required by Governmental Order or otherwise legally required to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, to the extent (x) permitted by applicable Law, and (y) advisable in the opinion of Parent’s counsel, then Parent shall immediately (and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days) notify the Member Representative in writing so that the Member Representative (or the Seller Group) can seek a protective order. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties agrees that (A) no waiver is intended by failing to remove all Privileged Communications from the Surviving LLC’s files and computer systems, and (B) after Closing, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to take the steps necessary to ensure the Privileged Communications are held and controlled by the Member Representative (on behalf of the Seller Group). Parent agrees that after Closing none of Parent, the Surviving LLC, or their Affiliates will (I) access or review the Privileged Communications in connection with any Action against or involving the Seller Group or (II) use or assert the Privileged Communications against the Seller Group in any Action against or involving the Seller Group. (c) This Section 8.16 is intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, Seller Group Law Firm. This Section 8.16 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section may be amended, waived, or modified, without the prior written consent of Seller Group Law Firm. [SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS]
