Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Equity Purchase Agreement

On May 25, 2017, we entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) with iSystems Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and iSystems Intermediate Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“iSystems”), pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of iSystems for an aggregate purchase price of $55,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price consists of (i) $32,000,000 in cash, subject to adjustment, (ii) a secured subordinated promissory note (“iSystems Note”) in the principal amount of $5,000,000, subject to adjustment, and (iii) 1,526,332 shares of unregistered common stock valued at $18,000,000 based on a volume-weighted average of the closing prices of our common stock during a 90-day period. The iSystems Note bears interest at an annual rate of 3.5% and matures on May 25, 2019. The unpaid principal and all accrued interest under the promissory note is payable in two installments of $2.5 million on May 25, 2018 and May 25, 2019, subject to adjustment. The Equity Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

To finance the iSystems acquisition, we amended and restated our existing credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) to add an additional term loan in the amount of approximately $40,000,000, of which we borrowed approximately $32,000,000 to complete the iSystems acquisition.

In connection with the iSystems acquisition, we also entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with the Seller. Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, until May 2018, the holders of the registrable securities received in connection with the acquisition have agreed not to directly or indirectly transfer, sell, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any of our equity securities and not to vote any of our equity securities or solicit proxies other than in favor of each director that our board recommends for election, against any director that our board has not nominated for election, and in accordance with the recommendation of our board on any other matters, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, under the Investor Rights Agreement, holders of the registrable securities have demand registration rights which allow a registration statement to be filed on or about March 31, 2018 and piggyback registration rights which become effective in May 2018. In addition, under the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, such holders have the right to nominate one director to our board of directors until the first date that the holders of the registrable securities no longer hold more than the lesser of (x) 5% of our outstanding common stock (as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, reorganizations, exchanges, merger, recapitalizations or similar transaction after the date hereof) and (y) 90% of the shares of our common stock held by such holders as of May 25, 2017. The director nominee initially appointed by the holders will be Daniel Gill and our board will appoint him to serve as a director on June 6, 2017.  Mr. Gill is a founder and a co-managing partner of Silver Oak Services Partners, a private equity firm focused exclusively on business, healthcare and consumer services companies in the middle market. In 2014 Silver Oak acquired iSystems, LLC (currently, a wholly owned subsidiary of iSystems) and Mr. Gill served on the board of directors of iSystems, LLC.

The foregoing description of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and iSystems Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and iSystems Note, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 4.1, respectively, hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On May 25, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders that are parties thereto, amending and restating the terms of the Credit Agreement dated as of March 20, 2014, as amended.

The Restated Credit Agreement provides for an increase in the aggregate principal amount of total commitments from approximately $32,714,000 to $75,000,000. This increase includes an additional term loan commitment of approximately $40,286,000 and an additional revolver commitment of $2,000,000.

The Restated Credit Agreement amends the applicable margin rates for determining the interest rate payable on outstanding loans as follows:

2

The outstanding principal amount of the term loan is payable in equal installments of $875,000 beginning on September 30, 2017 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. The outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the term loan is due on May 25, 2022.

The Restated Credit Agreement also:

·                  amends our leverage ratio covenant to increase the maximum ratio to 5.75:1 at June 30, 2017, stepping down to 3.25:1 at June 30, 2020 and each quarter-end thereafter;

·                  amends our fixed charge coverage ratio to be not less than 1.35:1 at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, not less than 1.45:1 at December 31, 2017, and not less than 1.50:1 beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2018 and each quarter-end thereafter; and

·                  adds a TTM recurring revenue covenant, requiring software-as-a-service, hardware-as-a-service and cloud subscription and maintenance support revenues to be at least $41,000,000 at June 30, 2017 and stepping up to $60,500,000 at June 30, 2022 and each quarter-end thereafter.

1.                                      Payment.  The Principal Amount of this Note shall be paid in two installments:

(a)                                 the first payment in an amount equal to $2,500,000.00 (the “First Installment”), subject to Sections 5 and 6 below and the Subordination Agreement, shall be due and payable on May 25, 2018; and

All accrued and unpaid interest under this Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Subject to Sections 5 and 6 below, all amounts due under this Note shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Holder.  If any such payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment will be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and the resulting extension of time will be taken into account in calculating the amount of interest payable under this Note.

2.                                      Optional Prepayments.  The Maker may prepay this Note prior to the Maturity Date, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, at any time and from time to time. Prepayments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to principal.

(d)                                 There occurs a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) of Maker, iSystems, LLC or evoPro Solutions, Inc. For this purpose, “Senior Credit Agreement” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Subordination Agreement.

10.                               Governing Law.  This Note and any claim, controversy or cause of action based upon, arising out of or relating to this Note shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflict of laws principles thereof and any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Note shall be subject in all respects to Section 9.10 of the Purchase Agreement.

(vi)          any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Maker in respect of any Senior Debt or the Holder in respect of this Note.

5

(i)            The Holder agrees not to initiate, prosecute or participate in any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of all or any portion of the Senior Debt or any liens and security interests securing all or any portion of the Senior Debt.  The Holder agrees not to initiate or commence any Proceeding involving any Maker.

(l)            Until the Senior Debt has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all lending commitments under the Senior Debt Agreements have terminated, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, Holder shall not, without the prior written consent of Senior Agent, agree to any amendment, modification or supplement to this Note.  The Note shall not be sold, pledged, endorsed, transferred or assigned by Holder without the express written approval of each Maker and Senior Agent, and any such sale, pledge, endorsement, transfer or assignment, or attempted sale, pledge, endorsement, transfer or assignment without such approvals shall be null and void ab initio.  Each Holder of the Senior Debt shall be a third party beneficiary of the terms hereof.

(i)                                     Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a statement, certified by an authorized officer of the Buyer, setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Cash Consideration, along with a summary showing in reasonable detail each calculation of the components thereof (the “Closing Statement”).  The Closing Statement will be prepared in a manner consistent with the definitions of the terms Cash on Hand, Indebtedness, Working Capital, Bonus Amounts and Selling Expenses and the accounting principles and practices referred to therein. The Closing Statement will entirely disregard (A) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Buyer or any other transaction entered into by Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (B) any of the plans, transactions or changes which Buyer intends to initiate or cause to be initiated or made after Closing with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries or their business or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Buyer or any of its assets or liabilities.

(ii)                                  After receipt of the Closing Statement, Seller shall have forty-five (45) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Statement. During the Review Period, Seller and its accountants and representatives shall have full access to the books and records of the Company, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, the Company and/or its accountants or representatives for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Statement and to such historical financial information and other information (to the extent in Buyer’s control or possession) relating to the Closing Statement as Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not materially interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Company.

(iii)                               On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Seller may object to the Closing Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth its objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for its disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If the Seller fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the

15

case may be, reflected in the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Seller. If the Seller delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Buyer and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (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 the Buyer and the Seller, shall be final and binding.

(iv)                              If the Seller and the Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (the “Disputed Amounts”, with any amounts not so disputed being the “Undisputed Amounts”), shall be submitted for resolution to the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants, as may be mutually acceptable to the Buyer and the Seller (the “Independent Accountant”), who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be. The Independent Accountant will make its determination based solely on presentations by Buyer and Seller that are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review).  The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after its engagement, and its resolution of the Disputed Amounts and its adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error, upon the parties hereto.

(v)                                 The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the Seller, on the one hand, and by the Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to the Seller or the Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by the Seller and the Buyer.

(vi)                              The “Post-Closing Adjustment” means an amount equal to the Final Cash Consideration minus the Estimated Cash Consideration.

(c)                                  Resolution of Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, then, within five (5) Business Days after determination of the Final Cash Consideration, Buyer will pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such excess.  If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, then, within five (5) Business Days after determination of the Final Cash

16

Consideration, Seller will pay to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such shortfall.

(d)                                 Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any adjustments made pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

2.5                               Payoff of Indebtedness and Other Payables.  At the Closing, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company, the amounts of Indebtedness indicated in the payoff letters delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(viii), the Seller Expenses, the Bonus Amounts and any other amounts agreed to by Seller and Buyer in writing to be payable in connection with the Closing under this Agreement, in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Persons or bank accounts specified in such payoff letters or other written instructions.

6.2                               Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a)                                 Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company or its Subsidiaries now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement or who becomes prior to the Closing Date an officer or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries (each a “D&O Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Company Charter Documents, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date of this Agreement and disclosed in Schedule 6.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, shall survive the Closing Date and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and, in the event that any proceeding is pending or asserted or any claim made during such period, until the final disposition of such proceeding or claim.

(b)                                 The obligations of Buyer and the Company under this Section 6.2 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.2 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.2 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.2, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.2).

(c)                                  In the event Buyer, the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.2. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company, its Subsidiaries or its or their officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.2 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

6.3                               Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange or trading market requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the

43

transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement; provided, however, that the foregoing will not restrict or prohibit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from making any announcement to its employees, customer or other business relations to the extent the Company or such Subsidiaries reasonably determines in good faith that such announcement is necessary or advisable.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that SOSP and its Affiliates (except for the Company and its Subsidiaries) may provide general information about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Company and its Subsidiaries (including its and their performance and improvements) in connection with SOSP’s or its Affiliates’ fund raising, marketing, informational or reporting activities.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event will Buyer or, after the Closing, the Company have any right to use SOSP’s name or mark, or any abbreviation, variation or derivative thereof, in any press release, public announcement or other public document or communication without the express written consent of SOSP; provided however, Buyer shall not be required to obtain the written consent of SOSP for use in connection with any required SEC Filings.

6.4                               Employee Related Matters.  Buyer shall cause the Company to continue the employment, immediately after the Closing, of those employees of the Business who were employed by the Company immediately before the Closing (each a “Continuing Employee”).  Buyer shall be responsible for all costs of severance associated with any employee terminated in connection with or following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer shall, or it shall cause its Affiliates to, give Continuing Employees full credit for all purposes (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan) under the employee benefit plans or arrangements maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates in which Continuing Employees participate after the Closing Date for such Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date.  With respect to any welfare benefit plans maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates for the benefit of Continuing Employees on and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) cause there to be waived any eligibility requirements or pre-existing condition limitations to the same extent waived under comparable Benefit Plans and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to amounts paid by such Continuing Employees with respect to comparable plans maintained by the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee any right as a third party beneficiary with respect to (x) continued employment (or any particular term or condition of employment) with Buyer or any of its Affiliates, (y) a limitation  on Buyer’s (or any of its Affiliates’) right to terminate the employment of any Person (including any Continuing Employee) at any time and for any or no reason (subject to applicable Law), with or without cause or notice, or the exercise of independent business judgment in modifying any terms or conditions of employment of the Continuing Employees on and after the Closing Date.

6.5                               Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver, at the requesting party’s expense, such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.6                               Letters of Credit.

(a)                                 Buyer agrees that the Letter of Credit Amount will be retained by the Company as a source of cash collateral for the standby letter of credit issued by KeyBank National Association (the “Letter of Credit”) relating to that certain Lease Agreement dated October 27, 2015 by and between iSystems, LLC and Pizzagalli Properties, LLC for a period of two (2) years from the date hereof.

(b)                                 Buyer agrees that the Letter of Credit Amount shall be paid to Seller in full by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Seller within five (5) Business Days of the earlier of (w) two (2) years from the date hereof, (x) the expiration by its terms of the Letter of Credit, (y) the date on which Buyer provides written confirmation to Seller that the Letter of Credit has been fully and unconditionally released, or (z) Buyer’s achieving free cash flow equal to or in excess of $20,000,000.00.

(c)                                  For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and its Affiliates shall not be liable for any Loss incurred by Buyer, the Company or any of their Affiliates from and after the Closing arising under or in connection with the such Letter of Credit (including any demand or draw upon, or withdrawal from, the Letter of Credit) and the full Letter of Credit Amount shall be payable to Seller pursuant to Section 6.6(b) regardless of the incurrence of any such Loss.

ARTICLE VII
TAX MATTERS

7.1                               Tax Covenants. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid 50% by the Buyer and 50% by the Seller, when due. Buyer shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Seller shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

7.2                               Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date neither the Company nor any of its Representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

7.3                               Tax Indemnification. Seller shall indemnify the Company, Buyer, and each Buyer Indemnitee and hold them harmless from and against (a) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, by Seller of any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in this Article VII; (b) all Taxes of the Company or relating to the business of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (c) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state or local Law; and (d) any and all Taxes of any person imposed on the Company arising under the

45

principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date, in each case to the extent not paid prior to the Closing or otherwise not included in the calculation of Company Closing Working Capital, Indebtedness or any adjustments to Purchase Price.  To the extent Seller is obligated to indemnify a Buyer Indemnitee under this Section 7.3, the amount of such Loss or Taxes, including any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, shall be paid in accordance with Section 7.10 of this Agreement; provided, however, that, except for claims for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.3 for Losses relating to Income Taxes, in no event shall Seller be liable for any Loss pursuant to this Section 7.3 for any amounts in excess of the Cap or, following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Adjusted Cap.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will Seller be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee with respect to Losses relating to Income Taxes arising under this Section 7.3 for any Losses in excess of the Cash Proceeds.

7.4          Tax Returns.

(a)           The Company shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it that are due on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions), and shall timely pay all Taxes that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions). Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law).

(b)           Buyer shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and 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 an income or other material Tax Return, shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Seller, supporting documentation) at least forty-five (45) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Seller objects to any item on any such Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, it shall, within ten (10) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Buyer 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, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by Buyer 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 twenty (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 Buyer and then amended to reflect the Independent Accountant’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period shall be exclusively within the control of Buyer.

46

7.5          Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing 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 Income Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

(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 on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

7.6          Contests. Buyer agrees to give written notice to Seller of the receipt of any written notice by the Company, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Buyer pursuant to this Article VII (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Buyer’s right to indemnification under this Agreement, unless such failure materially adversely affects the Seller’s right to participate in and contest such Tax Claim. Seller shall have the right to control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which Seller is liable; provided, however, that Seller shall obtain the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim unless the settlement involves only the payment of money damages and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon Buyer.

7.7          Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Seller, the Company and Buyer 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 VII or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company. 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 Seller, the Company and Buyer shall retain all 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 Closing 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 Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller, the Company or Buyer (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 until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns or 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.

47

7.8          Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article VII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

7.9          Tax Refunds. Seller will be entitled to any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiaries become entitled in any Post-Closing Tax Period, that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.  Buyer will pay over to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit within ten (10) days after actual receipt of such refund or credit against Taxes.

7.10        Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any amounts payable to Buyer pursuant to this Article VII shall be first satisfied from the Seller by a reduction of the face value of the Promissory Note in accordance with Section 8.5(a) of this Agreement and thereafter in accordance with Section 8.5(b) of this Agreement.

7.11        Post-Closing Taxes.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee with respect to Taxes for a Post-Closing Tax Period.

7.12        Amended Tax Returns; Tax Elections. Buyer will not, without Seller’s prior written consent, cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (i) amend any Tax Return that relates in whole or in part to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) make any election that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, if such amendment or election could result in Seller (or its direct or indirect owners) being liable for any Taxes, including to Buyer under this Agreement or to any taxing authority, or (iii) initiate any contact (including through any voluntary disclosure program or filing of a Tax Return with respect to any Pre-Closing Period inconsistent with past practice) with any Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes; provided, however, that Buyer may initiate any such contact without Seller’s prior written consent if, in advance of any such contact, Buyer delivers to Seller written confirmation that Buyer and its Affiliates expressly agree that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates, including for the avoidance of doubt any Guarantor, shall have any liability for Losses arising in connection with or as a result of such contact.

7.13        Closing of Taxable Year. To the extent required or permitted by Law (including pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1502 of the Code), the parties shall elect to close any taxable year of any of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the Closing Date.

7.14        Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Article VII shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus an additional sixty (60) days.

7.15        Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Article VIII may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Article VII, the provisions of this Article VII shall govern.

48

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION

8.1          Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date; provided, that (a) the Fundamental Representations and any claim based on Fraud shall survive until the date which is five (5) years from the Closing Date, and (b) the representations set forth in Section 3.20 shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus an additional sixty (60) days. All covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement to be performed at or prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing for thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, and all other covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms. The obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless a Buyer Indemnitee will terminate on the applicable survival termination date; provided, however, that any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) in writing and in compliance with the terms of Section 8.4 hereof by notice from the Buyer Indemnitee to the Seller prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims (and only such claims) shall survive until finally resolved.

8.2          Indemnification By the Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, the Seller shall indemnify and defend the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a)           any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Company or the Seller contained in this Agreement or the representations or warranties of Company or the Seller made in any Transaction Document delivered by the Company or the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date as of the Effective Time (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);

(b)           any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Company or the Seller pursuant to this Agreement (other than any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement or obligation in Article VII, it being understood that the sole remedy for any such breach, violation or failure shall be pursuant to Article VII), or by the Company or Seller pursuant to a Transaction Document; and

(c)           any Indebtedness of the Company as of the Effective Time, Selling Expenses or Bonus Amounts not included in the computation of the Final Cash Consideration as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4.

49

8.3          Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.2 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a)           The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.2 shall not exceed $3,750,000.00 (the “Cap”). After the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.2 shall not exceed $2,500,000.00 (the “Adjusted Cap”); provided that Buyer Indemnitees have not incurred Losses in an aggregate amount in excess of the Adjusted Cap prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date. If, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer Indemnitees have incurred aggregate Losses in excess of the Adjusted Cap, but less than the Cap (the “First Year Losses”), then the Buyer Indemnitees will have no further recourse against Seller for Losses incurred under Section 8.2 in excess of the First Year Losses.

(b)           No Buyer Indemnitee will be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 (except for claims arising from any breach or inaccuracy of the representations or warranties contained in Section 3.20) unless the aggregate of all Losses would exceed on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $330,000.00 (the “Basket”), in which in which event the Seller will be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar.

(c)           Nothing in this Section 8.3 shall limit or restrict any of the Buyer Indemnitees’ right to maintain any action or claim or recover any Losses against or from a Person that has committed Fraud. In no event shall Seller be liable for any Losses in excess of the Cash Proceeds.

(d)           The Seller shall have no right of contribution from any of the Buyer Indemnitees with respect to any Loss for which Seller is required to indemnify such Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VIII.

(e)           No Buyer Indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification hereunder for Losses with respect to any Liability to the extent (i) such matter was taken into account in determining the Final Cash Consideration or (ii) such matter was reserved for in the Financial Statements.

(f)            The amount of any and all Losses under this Article VIII and indemnified Taxes under Article VII will be determined net of any Tax Benefits inuring to any Buyer Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates on the account of such Loss.  If the Buyer Indemnitee receives a Tax Benefit after an indemnification payment is made to it that was not taken into account at the time the indemnification payment was made, such Buyer Indemnitee shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) days after such time that such Tax Benefit is actually realized, pay to the indemnifying party the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is actually realized by the Buyer Indemnitee.  A Tax Benefit shall be actually realized by the Buyer Indemnitee upon the receipt of a refund of Taxes paid or the filing of a Tax Return, including an estimated Tax Return, showing a Tax Benefit (or, if earlier, the date when such a Tax Return should have been timely filed, including properly obtained extensions).  For

50

purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean (i) any refund or credit of Taxes paid or (ii) the amount such Buyer Indemnitee’s liability for Taxes through a taxable period, calculated by excluding the relevant amount of credit, deduction or Loss, would exceed such Buyer Indemnitee’s actual liability for Taxes through such period, calculated by taking into account the relevant amount of credit, deduction or Loss, in each case computed at the highest marginal Tax rates applicable to the recipient of such benefit.

(g)           The amount of any and all Losses under this Article VIII will be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by any Buyer Indemnitee or any of such Buyer Indemnitee’s Affiliates under or pursuant to any insurance policy, title insurance policy, indemnity, reimbursement arrangement or contract pursuant to which or under which such Buyer Indemnitee or such Buyer Indemnitee’s Affiliates is a party or has rights (each a “Policy”). To the extent a Loss is clearly recoverable or for which there is a right of recovery under any such Policy, the Buyer Indemnitee agrees to submit a claim for coverage under such Policy coincident with making a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII. The final amount to which Seller is obligated to indemnify Buyer Indemnitee shall be calculated after the Buyer Indemnitee receives payment from the insurer under such Policy with respect to the claim or a determination that there is no coverage under such Policy, and then such amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 8.5 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the Basket, Seller shall reimburse Buyer Indemnitee for the deductible or any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid in connection with the submission of the claim for coverage under any such Policy, which payment will be made in accordance with Section 8.5 of this Agreement.

(h)           Nothing in this Agreement will be interpreted to restrict or otherwise limit any party’s common law duty to mitigate a Loss it may suffer or incur as a result of an event that may give rise to an indemnification claim under this Agreement.

8.4          Indemnification Procedures.

(a)           Third Party Claims. If any Buyer Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Buyer Indemnitee with respect to which the Seller is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnitee shall give the Seller reasonably prompt written notice of the Third Party Claim, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Seller of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Seller forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure or such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Seller. Such notice by the Buyer Indemnitee shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence of the Third Party Claim and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Buyer Indemnitee. The Seller shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Buyer Indemnitee within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of notice of such Third

51

Party Claim, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Seller’s expense and by the Seller’s own counsel, and the Buyer Indemnitee shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that the Seller shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Buyer Indemnitees. In the event that the Seller assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.5(b), Seller shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Buyer Indemnitee. The Buyer Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Seller’s right to control the defense of the Third Party Claim. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Buyer. If the Seller elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Buyer Indemnitee in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Seller has failed to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Buyer Indemnitee may, subject to Section 8.5(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b)           Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Buyer Indemnitee, except as provided in this Section 8.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Buyer Indemnitee and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Buyer Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Seller desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Seller shall give written notice to that effect to the Buyer Indemnitee. If the Buyer Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Buyer Indemnitee may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Seller as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Buyer Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Seller may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim.

(c)           Direct Claims. Any Action by a Buyer Indemnitee on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Buyer Indemnitee by giving the Seller reasonably prompt written notice of the Direct Claim, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Buyer Indemnitee becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Seller of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the

52

extent that the Seller forfeit rights or defenses by reason of such failure or such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Seller. Such notice by the Buyer Indemnitee shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Buyer Indemnitee. The Seller shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty (30) day period, the Buyer Indemnitee shall allow the Seller and its, Affiliates, Representatives and professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Buyer Indemnitee shall assist the Seller’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Seller or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Seller does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Seller shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Buyer Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Buyer Indemnitee on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

8.5          Payments.

(a)           From and after the Closing (but subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII), any indemnification of the Buyer Indemnitees for which Seller is liable under this Agreement will be effected solely by reducing the face value of the Promissory Note by the amount of such indemnification obligations, as finally agreed to by Seller or finally adjudicated as payable pursuant to this Article VIII.  Recourse against and the reduction of the face value of the Promissory Note, up to the Cap or Adjusted Cap, as applicable, will be the Buyer Indemnitees’ sole and exclusive source of recovery for any amounts owing to Buyer Indemnitees under this Agreement, except in the case of (i) Fraud; (ii) a claim for indemnification for Losses relating to Taxes arising under Section 7.3 of this Agreement, which claim arose after the Promissory Note is paid, but before the expiration of the survival period set forth in Section 7.14; or (iii) a Loss related to the breach of a Fundamental Representation or the representations set forth in Section 3.20 of this Agreement, which claim arose after the Promissory Note is paid, but before the expiration of the survival period set forth in Section 8.1 (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, a “Section 8.5(a) Loss”).

(b)           From and after the Promissory Note has been paid, if any Section 8.5(a) Loss is agreed to by the Seller or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Seller shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such acceptance or final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the Buyer Indemnitee. The parties agree that should Seller not make full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 3%.

53

Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365/366 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

(c)           Notwithstanding the above, if a Buyer Indemnitee has delivered notice of a claim for indemnification in good faith pursuant to Section 8.2 in respect of Losses and such claim has not been finally resolved or agreed to on or before any required payment date under the Promissory Note, the failure of Buyer to make a required payment of principal in the amount and to the extent of the amount of Losses alleged in good faith in such claim for indemnification when due will not constitute an event of default under the Promissory Note.

8.6          Indemnification by the Buyer.

(a)           From and after the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and Representatives (each a “Seller Indemnitee”) shall be indemnified and held harmless against, any Loss incurred as a result of (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Buyer in Article V of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made by Buyer in any Transaction Document delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation and warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date as of the Effective Time, (ii) any breach by Buyer of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or (iii) any breach by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in any Transaction Document which are to be performed by the Company or its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date.

(b)           No Seller Indemnitee will be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.6(a)(i) unless the aggregate of all Losses would exceed on a cumulative basis an amount equal to Basket in which in which event the Buyer will be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar.

(c)           The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Buyer shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.6(a)(i) shall not exceed the Cap. After the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.6(a)(i) shall not exceed the Adjusted Cap; provided that Seller Indemnitees have not incurred Losses in an aggregate amount in excess of the Adjusted Cap prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date. If, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller Indemnitees have incurred aggregate Losses in excess of the Adjusted Cap, but less than the Cap (the “Seller First Year Losses”), then the Buyer Indemnities will have no further recourse against Seller for Losses incurred under Section 8.6(a)(i) in excess of the Seller First Year Losses.

(d)           Nothing in this Section 8.6 shall limit or restrict any of the Seller Indemnitees’ right to maintain any action or claim or recover any Losses against or from a Person that has committed Fraud.

54

(e)           If any Loss claimed by a Seller Indemnitee is agreed to by the Buyer or finally adjudicated to be payable to a Seller Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VIII, the Buyer shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such acceptance or final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the Seller Indemnitee. The parties agree that should Buyer not make full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 3%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365/366 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

8.7          Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

8.8          Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 9.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims from and after the Closing for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 6.6, Article VII and this Article VIII (and, with respect to the Post-Closing Adjustment, the dispute resolution mechanics set forth in Section 2.4). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VII and this Article VIII (or, with respect to the Post-Closing Adjustment, the dispute resolution mechanics set forth in Section 2.4). Nothing in this Section 8.8 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s Fraud.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any Seller Indemnitee’s rights with respect to (i) the Shares issued to Seller as the Stock Consideration or (ii) the Promissory Note.

9.12        Consents. Buyer acknowledges that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to contracts, leases, licenses or other agreements to which the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries is a party (including the contracts set forth on Schedule 3.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) and such consents have not been obtained. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that Seller will have no liability whatsoever to Buyer (and Buyer will not be entitled to assert any claims) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default, acceleration or termination of any such contract, lease, license or other agreement as a result thereof. Buyer further agrees that no representation, warranty or covenant of the Company contained herein will be breached or deemed breached and no condition of Buyer will be deemed not to be satisfied as a result of the failure to obtain any consent or as a result of any such default, acceleration or termination or any lawsuit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consent or any such default, acceleration or termination.

9.13        Prevailing Party.  In the event any Action is commenced or threatened by any party to this Agreement (the “Claiming Party”) to enforce its rights under this Agreement against any other party to this Agreement (the “Defending Party”), the non-prevailing party (whether a Claiming Party or a Defending Party) shall reimburse the prevailing party in such Proceeding all fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by such prevailing party in the Proceeding; provided, that if a party prevails in part, and loses in part, in such Proceeding, the court, arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such Proceeding will award a reimbursement of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the parties on an equitable basis.  For purposes hereof, and without limitation, (A) a Defending Party will be deemed to have prevailed in any Proceeding described in the immediately preceding sentence if the Claiming Party commences or threatens any such Proceeding and (i) such underlying claim(s) is subsequently dropped or voluntarily dismissed, or (ii) the Defending Party defeats any such claim(s); and (B) a Claiming Party will be deemed to have prevailed in any Proceeding described in the immediately preceding sentence if the Defending Party (i) admits or does not provide an Answer to any underlying claim; or (ii) is assessed liability with respect to all underlying claim(s) from a court, arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such Proceeding.

9.14        Representation of Seller and its Affiliates. Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Buyer Indemnitees, that, following the Closing, Kirkland & Ellis LLP may serve as counsel to Seller and its Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any representation by Kirkland & Ellis LLP prior to the Closing

59

Date of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Buyer and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby (i) waive any claim they have or may have that Kirkland & Ellis LLP has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (ii) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary and Seller or any of its Affiliates, Kirkland & Ellis LLP may represent Seller or any of its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Buyer, the Company or its Subsidiaries and even though Kirkland & Ellis LLP may have represented the Company or its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Buyer and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) also further agree that, as to all communications among Kirkland & Ellis LLP and the Company, its Subsidiaries, and Seller or Seller’s Affiliates and representatives, that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Seller and may be controlled by Seller and will not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and a third party other than a party to this Agreement after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Kirkland & Ellis LLP to such third party; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller.

9.15        No Additional Representations; Disclaimer; Non-Recourse.

(a)           Buyer acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and verification and the representations and warranties of the Company and Seller expressly and specifically set forth in Article III and Article IV, as qualified by the Company Disclosure Schedule.  The representations and warranties of the Company and Seller expressly and specifically set forth in Article III and Article IV constitute the sole and exclusive representations, warranties, and statements of any kind of any of the Company and Seller to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Buyer understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations, warranties, and statements of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or the quality, quantity or condition of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ assets) are specifically disclaimed by the Company and Seller. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein. No Person is asserting the truth of any representation and warranty set forth in this Agreement; rather the parties have agreed that should any representations and warranties of any party prove untrue, the other party shall have the specific rights and remedies herein specified as the exclusive remedy therefor, but that no other rights, remedies or causes of action (whether in law or in equity or whether in contract or in tort) are permitted to any party hereto as a result of the untruth of any such representation and warranty.  BUYER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT,

60

EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY AND SELLER SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III AND ARTICLE IV, (X) BUYER IS ACQUIRING THE COMPANY ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS AND (Y) NONE OF THE COMPANY, SELLER OR ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING, ANY STOCKHOLDER, MEMBER, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER IN ANY INDIVIDUAL, CORPORATE OR ANY OTHER CAPACITY) IS MAKING, AND BUYER IS NOT RELYING ON, ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR OTHER STATEMENTS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO ANY MATTER CONCERNING THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED TO (OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED BY) BUYER OR ANY OF BUYER’S REPRESENTATIVES.

(b)           Except as expressly provided for in the Guaranty, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Company, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates (including SOSP) (collectively, the “Equityholder Parties”), will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation (whether in contract or in tort) to Buyer or any other Person resulting from (nor will Buyer have any claim with respect to) (i) the distribution to Buyer, or Buyer’s use of, or reliance on, any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Buyer in certain “data rooms,” confidential information memoranda or management presentations in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the sale and purchase of the Company or otherwise with respect to the pre-Closing conduct of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, any alleged non-disclosure or misrepresentations made by any such Persons, in each case, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise.

(c)           In connection with the investigation by Buyer of the Company and its Subsidiaries, Buyer has received or may receive from the Company or its Subsidiaries certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information.  Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and that Buyer will have no claim against anyone with respect thereto.  Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that neither the Company, Seller, nor any member, officer, director, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, whether in an individual, corporate or any other capacity, make any representation, warranty, or other statement with respect to, and Buyer is not relying on, such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the

61

assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and Buyer agrees that it has not relied thereon.

9.16        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.

9.17        Effect of Disclosure. Disclosure of any item in any part of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be disclosed on any other Schedule of the Disclosure Schedules where its applicability to, relevance as an exception to, or disclosure for purposes of, such other representation or warranty is reasonably apparent on its face; provided that an express cross reference is provided to such other Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule.

Exhibit 10.2

INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of May 25, 2017, by and between Asure Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation  (the “Company”), iSystems Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“iSystems”) and each other Person who becomes a party to this Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(f).  Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 11.

The Company, iSystems and certain other Persons are parties to that certain Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2017 (as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company is acquiring all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of iSystems Intermediate Holdco, Inc. and, in partial consideration therefor, iSystems is receiving shares of common stock of the Company.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company is a condition to iSystems’ obligations under the Purchase Agreement, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by iSystems is a condition to the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

The parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.     Demand Registration.

(a)   Request for Registration.  At any time and from time to time after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as defined in that certain Lock-Up Letter dated the date hereof from iSystems Holdings, LLC to Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Lock-Up Agreement”)), holders of Registrable Securities may by written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”), to the extent permitted in accordance with Section 1(b) and Section 1(c) hereof, request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities (i) on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration (“Long-Form Registration”) and/or (ii) on Form S-3 (including pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) or any similar short-form registration (“Short-Form Registration”); provided, that, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, no registration statement must be filed in respect to a Demand Registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the earlier of (x) five (5) Business Days after the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and (y) March 31, 2018; and provided, further that, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company, the closing of the sale of such Registrable Securities shall not occur prior to May 25, 2018.  For the avoidance of doubt, iSystems acknowledges and agrees that it is party to the Lock-Up Agreement and that no registration statement must be filed during the Lock-Up Period. Any registration requested pursuant to this Section 1(a) is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”.  Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered.  The Company shall give prompt written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities (which notice shall be given at least 20 days prior to the date the applicable registration statement is to be filed) and, subject to the remainder of this Section 1, shall include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1(a) to the contrary, as long as the Company determines that such delay would not impair the ability of holders of Registrable Securities to participate in such registration (e.g., because the registration statement therefor is likely to be reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or such offering will not be completed until at least 20 days after the registration statement therefor is filed), at the request of the holders requesting such registration, the Company shall delay the notice of a Demand Registration requested in accordance with this Section 1

until the day after the registration statement with respect to such Demand Registration is filed, in which case, subject to the remainder of this Section 1, the Company shall include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice; provided that in no event shall such Demand Registration be closed unless such notice has been provided at least 20 days prior to the closing thereof.   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise consented to by the holders of Registrable Securities initially requesting such registration, no other holder to whom such notice is provided may include in such Demand Registration a greater percentage of such holder’s Registrable Securities than the percentage of Registrable Securities included by the holders requesting such registration.

(b)   Long-Form Registration. At any time and from time to time after the date hereof, the iSystems Majority Holders shall be entitled to request two (2) Long-Form Registrations; provided, that, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, no registration statement must be filed in respect to a Demand Registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the earlier of (x) five (5) Business days after the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and (y) March 31, 2018; provided, further, that, unless otherwise agreed by the Company (i) the closing of the sale of such Registrable Securities shall not occur prior to May [  ], 2018 and (ii) a Long-Form Registration may only be requested by the iSystems Majority Holders if, at the time of such request, the Company is not eligible to file a Short Form Registration.  All Long-Form Registrations shall be underwritten registrations if requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting such registration.  The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Long-Form Registration, whether or not it becomes effective.  A registration shall not count as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations until it has become effective and no registration shall count as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations unless the holders of Registrable Securities are able to register and sell at least 90% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration within the price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting registration (with it being understood and agreed that a holder of Registrable Securities instituting a Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw his, her or its request to effect a Long-Form Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness thereof, in which case such registration shall not proceed with respect to any holder and such registration shall not thereafter count as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations).  In no event shall any holder of Registrable Securities have liability to another for determining to withdraw its request for registration.

(c)   Short-Form Registration.  In addition to the Long-Form Registrations provided pursuant to Section 1(b), the iSystems Majority Holders shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses; provided, that, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, no registration statement must be filed in respect to a Demand Registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the earlier of (x) the five (5) Business Days after filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and (y) March 31, 2018; provided, further, that, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, (i) the closing of the sale of such Registrable Securities shall not occur prior to May 25, 2018 and (ii) the iSystems Majority Holders shall only be entitled to request one (1) Short Form Registration in any twelve (12) month period.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make any Short-Form Registration on Form S-3 available for the sale of Registrable Securities as promptly as practicable under applicable law.  The iSystems Majority Holders may, in connection with any Demand Registration requested by such holder that is a Short-Form Registration, require the Company to file such Short-Form Registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect) (a “Shelf Registration”) for the sale or distribution by the holders of Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act,

2

including by way of an underwritten offering, block sale or other distribution plan, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be filed and declared effective under the Securities Act in accordance with Section 4 hereof.  Once effective, the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration to remain effective for a period ending on the earliest of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such registration have been sold or distributed pursuant to the Shelf Registration[ and (ii) the second anniversary of the effective date of the Shelf Registration.

(d)   Priority on Demand Registrations.  The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of at least 50% of the Registrable Securities included in such registration.  If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within the price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting registration, the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in such manner in the acceptable price range, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder and (ii) second, other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of such securities owned by each such holder.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the managing underwriters determine that the inclusion of the number of Registrable Securities held by management of the Company proposed to be included in any such offering would adversely affect the marketability of such offering, the Company may exclude such number of Registrable Securities held by management as necessary or desirable to negate such adverse impact.  Any Persons other than holders of Registrable Securities who participate in Demand Registrations which are not at the Company’s expense must pay their share of the Registration Expenses as provided in Section 5 hereof.

(e)   Restrictions on Demand Registration.  The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within 90 days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration.  The Company may, at its option, (i) defer any registration or offering of Registrable Securities in response to a Demand Notice or Take-Down Notice or (ii) require holders to suspend any offering of Registrable Securities, in either case for no more than 120 days in each 360-day period:

(i) if the Company is subject to any of its customary suspension or blackout periods, for all or part of such period;

(ii) upon issuance by the Securities and Exchange Commission of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement with respect to Investor Registrable Securities or the initiation of proceedings with respect to such registration statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act;

(iii) if the Company believes that any such registration or offering (x) should not be undertaken because it would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with any material transaction or corporate development or plan or (y) would require the Company, under applicable securities laws and other laws, to make disclosure of material nonpublic information that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed at that time and the Company believes in good faith that such disclosures at that time would not be in the Company’s best interests, provided that this exception (y) shall continue to apply only during the time that such material nonpublic information has not been disclosed and remains material;

3

(iv) if the Company elects at such time to offer Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company to (x) fund a merger, third-party tender offer or other business combination, acquisition of assets or similar transaction or (y) meet rating agency and other capital funding requirements;

(v) if the Company is pursuing a primary underwritten offering of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement; provided that the holders of Registrable Securities shall have Piggyback Registration rights with respect to such primary underwritten offering in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3; and

(vi) if the Board of the Company determines the registration or offering would have a material adverse effect on the Company;

provided that, in the case of a deferral by the Company of a Demand Registration, the holders of Registrable Securities will be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration will not count as a Demand Registration and the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such requested registration.  Upon the occurrence of any of the conditions described in (i) through (vi) above, the Company shall give prompt notice of such deferral or suspension (a “Suspension Notice”) to each of seller of Registrable Securities included in any applicable registration statement.  Upon the termination of such condition, the Company shall give prompt notice thereof (a “Suspension Termination Notice”) to any sellers to whom a Suspension Notice was delivered.  The Company shall promptly proceed with any Demand Registration that was suspended pursuant to this Section 1(e); provided further that in no event shall the restrictions set forth in this sentence be deemed to apply to a redemption or repurchase of, or plan to redeem or repurchase, capital stock, options or warrants of the Company.

(f)    Selection of Underwriters.  The holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requesting a Demand Registration shall be entitled to select the underwriters to manage any Demand Registration; provided that, by written notice to such holders, the Company may, by written notice to such holders, object to one underwriter for all such registrations and if the holders determine such objection is reasonable, the holders shall not use such underwriter to manage any Demand Registration.

2.     Piggyback Registrations.

(a)   Right to Piggyback.  If, at any time after May 25, 2018, the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities (including any proposed registration of the Company’s securities by any third party) under the Securities Act (other than (i) pursuant to a Demand Registration, which is governed by Section 1, or (ii) pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms), whether or not for sale for its own account, and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration (which notice shall be given at least 20 days prior to the date the applicable registration statement is to be filed) and, subject to Sections 2(c) and 2(d), shall include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2(a) to the contrary, as long as the Company determines that such delay would not impair the ability of holders of Registrable Securities to participate in such registration (e.g., because the registration statement therefor is likely to be reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or such offering will not be completed until at least 20 days after the registration statement therefor is filed), the Company may delay the notice of a Piggyback Registration until the day after the registration statement with respect to such Piggyback Registration is filed, in which

4

case, subject to the remainder of this Section 2, the Company shall include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice; provided that in no event shall such Demand Registration be closed unless such notice has been provided at least 20 days prior to the closing thereof.

(b)   Piggyback Expenses.  Subject to the qualifications set forth in Section 5(b), the Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations.

(c)   Priority on Primary Registrations.  If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the amount of such securities owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, the other securities requested to be included in such registration pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the amount of such securities shares owned by each such holder.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the managing underwriters determine that the inclusion of Registrable Securities held by management of the Company proposed to be included in any such offering would adversely affect the marketability of such offering, the Company may exclude such number of Registrable Securities held by management of the Company pro rata as necessary or desirable to negate such adverse impact.

(d)   Priority on Secondary Registrations.  If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities other than a Demand Registration (a “Secondary Registration”), and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, except to the extent otherwise previously agreed to by holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration, together with the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such securities and Registrable Securities on the basis of the amount of such securities owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, other securities requested to be included in such registration pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the amount of such securities owned by each such holder.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the managing underwriters determine that the inclusion of Registrable Securities held by management of the Company proposed to be included in any such offering would adversely affect the marketability of such offering, the Company may exclude such number of Registrable Securities held by management of the Company pro rata as necessary or desirable to negate such adverse impact.

(e)   Selection of Underwriters.  If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, the Company will have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering.

(f)    Obligations of Seller. During such time as any holder of Registrable Securities may be engaged in a distribution of securities pursuant to an underwritten Piggyback Registration, such holder shall distribute such securities only under the registration statement and solely in the manner described in the registration statement.

5

(g)   Right to Terminate Registration.  The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2 whether or not any holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include securities in such registration.  The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

3.     Holdback Agreements.

(a)   The Company shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for its Common Stock during (a) with respect to any underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration in which Registrable Securities are included, the seven (7) days prior to and the ninety (90)-day period beginning on the effective date of such registration, and (b) upon notice from any holders of the Registrable Securities of the intention to effect an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the seven (7) days prior to and the ninety (90)-day period beginning on the date of the commencement of such distribution; in each case except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8, and in each case unless the managing underwriter(s) otherwise requires.

(b)   No holder of Registrable Securities shall effect any public sale or distribution of any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock during (a) with respect to any underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration in which Registrable Securities are included, the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the date of the commencement of such registration, and (b) upon notice from the Company of the commencement of an underwritten distribution of its Common Stock, the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the date of the commencement of such distribution; in each case except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8, and in each case unless the managing underwriter(s) otherwise requires. Each holder of Registrable Securities shall execute and deliver all agreements requested by the managing underwriters for a registered offering by the Company that is consistent with the foregoing.  The obligations under this clause (b) shall terminate as to each holder of Registrable Securities who owns less than three percent (3%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. In no event shall this Section 3(b) or any agreement with the underwriters limit a holder’s rights under Section 2 hereof or extend any suspension period beyond what is permitted pursuant to Section 1(e) hereof unless consented to by the iSystems Majority Holders.

4.     Registration Procedures.  Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as practicable:

(a)   in accordance with the Securities Act and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, prepare and, within 60 days after receipt of a Demand Notice, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement, and all amendments and supplements thereto and related prospectuses, with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective (provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to the counsel selected by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of all such documents proposed to be filed), and include in any Short-Form Registration such additional information reasonably requested by a majority of the Registrable Securities registered under the applicable registration statement, or the underwriters, if any, for marketing purposes, whether or

6

not required by applicable securities laws, but only to the extent such information does not contravene applicable securities laws or include information not readily in the possession of the Company;

(b)   notify each holder of Registrable Securities of the effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder and prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period ending on the earliest of (1) the date on which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration or have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities, (2) the second anniversary of the effective date of such Shelf Registration, and (3) when all such Registrable Securities are freely saleable under Rules 144 and 145 under the Securities Act, and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;

(c)   furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities thereunder such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus), each Free Writing Prospectus and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller;

(d)   use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection or (ii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction);

(e)   notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, (i) promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the date and time when such registration statement and each post-effective amendment thereto has become effective or a prospectus or supplement to any prospectus relating to a registration statement has been filed and when any registration or qualification has become effective under a state securities or blue sky law or any exemption thereunder has been obtained, (ii) promptly after receipt thereof, of any request by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the amendment or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or for additional information, and (iii) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(f)    prepare and file promptly with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and notify such holders of Registrable Securities prior to the filing of, such amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating to such securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, when any event has occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectus as then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, in case an of such holders

7

of Registrable Securities or any underwriter for any such holders is required to deliver a prospectus at a time when the prospectus then in circulation is not in compliance with the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare promptly upon request of any such holder or underwriter such amendments or supplements to such registration statement and prospectus as may be necessary in order for such prospectus to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and such rules and regulations;

(g)   cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(h)   provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(i)    enter into and perform such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, participation in “road shows,” investor presentations and marketing events and effecting a stock split or a combination of shares);

(j)    upon execution of confidentiality agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, make available, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement; provided, that unless the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such registration statement or the release of such information is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall not be required to provide any information under this Section 4(j) if the Company believes, after consultation with its counsel, that to do so would cause the Company to forfeit its attorney-client privilege that was applicable to such information.

(k)   take all reasonable actions to ensure that any Free-Writing Prospectus utilized in connection with any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration hereunder complies in all material respects with the Securities Act, is filed in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related prospectus, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(l)    otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

8

(m)  permit any holder of Registrable Securities which holder, in its sole and exclusive judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included;

(n)   the Company agrees to file all reports and supplements which are required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act so that it may be eligible to effect any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any comparable form, successor form or other form if such form is available for use by the Company;

(o)   obtain one or more comfort letters, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), signed by the Company’s independent public accountants (and, unless waived in writing by holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities participating in such registration, on which the holders of Registrable Securities participating in such registration are expressly entitled to rely) in the then-current customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered from time to time by comfort letters as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request;

(p)   provide a legal opinion of the Company’s outside counsel (and, unless waived in writing by holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities participating in such registration, on which the holders of Registrable Securities participating in such registration are expressly entitled to rely), dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), with respect to the registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in the then-current customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered from time to time by legal opinions of such nature; and

(q)   use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any common stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, and in the event of the issuance of any such stop order or other such order the Company shall advise such holders of Registrable Securities of such stop order or other such order promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof and shall use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order.

If any such registration or comparable statement refers to any holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company and if, in its sole and exclusive judgment, such holder is or might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, such holder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to such holder and presented to the Company in writing, to the effect that the holding by such holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such holder of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such holder shall assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar Federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such holder; provided that with respect to this clause (ii) such holder shall furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel to such effect, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

5.     Registration Expenses.

(a)   Subject to Section 5(b), all expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, travel expenses, filing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (including, if necessary, a “qualified independent underwriter” within the meaning of the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.) (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by the Company (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by the Company, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, except that the Company shall, in any event, pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or on the NASD automated quotation system (or any successor or similar system).

(b)   In connection with each Demand Registration, each Piggyback Registration, each Shelf Registration and each Shelf Offering, the Company shall reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration, in an amount not to exceed $75,000.  Otherwise, all fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the holder or holders of Registrable Securities for whom such services were rendered.

(c)   To the extent Registration Expenses are not required to be paid by the Company or, in accordance with the last sentence of Section 5(b), borne by a particular holder of Registrable Securities, each holder of securities included in any registration hereunder shall pay those Registration Expenses allocable to the registration of such holder’s securities so included, including any underwriting discounts or commissions, and any Registration Expenses not so allocable shall be borne by all sellers of securities included in such registration in proportion to the aggregate selling price of the securities to be so registered.

6.     Indemnification.

(a)   The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”) by the Company:  (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free-Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance; provided that the Company shall have no obligation to provide the indemnification set forth in this Section 6(a) to any holder to the extent such Violation arose from a statement provided in writing to the Company by such holder for inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free-Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto.  The Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities

10

Act) entitled to such indemnification, as incurred, any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein.  In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.

(b)   In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such holder; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

(c)   Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicting indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying party.  No indemnifying party, in the defense of such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d)   If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party or is otherwise unenforceable with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of each seller of

11

Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if the contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account such equitable considerations.  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject hereof.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)   The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

(f)    No indemnifying party shall, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

7.     Participation in Underwritten Registrations; Shelf Registrations.

(a)   Participation in Underwritten Registrations.

(i)            No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including pursuant to any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters); provided that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such holder has requested to include and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that in no event shall any holder of Registrable Securities be required to indemnify any underwriter or other Person in any manner other than that which is specifically set forth in Section 6(b) with respect to its indemnification obligations to the Company and other holders of Registrable Securities.  Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with such holder’s obligations under Section 3 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.  Without limiting any other right or remedy to which a party hereto may be entitled, any holder of Registrable Securities that does not comply with his, her or its obligations under this Section 7(a)(i) shall not be entitled to participate in the registration in question without violation of such holder’s rights hereunder.

(ii)           Each Person that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(e) above, such Person will forthwith discontinue the disposition of its

12

Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until such Person’s receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by such Section 4(e).  In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the applicable time period mentioned in Section 4(b) during which a Registration Statement is to remain effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to this Section 7(b) to and including the date when each seller of a Registrable Security covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4(e).

(b)   Shelf Take-Downs.  At any time that a Shelf Registration is effective, if any holder or group of holders of Registrable Securities delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect an offering or distribution of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the Shelf Registration, whether such offering or distribution is on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including by way of an underwritten offering, non-underwritten offering, block sale or other distribution plan (a “Shelf Offering”) and stating the number of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Shelf Offering, then the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering (taking into account the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other holders thereof pursuant to this Section 7(b))  and the Company shall (i) cooperate with the holder(s) and take all actions reasonably requested by such holder(s) in connection therewith and (ii) comply with its other obligations hereunder.  In connection with any Shelf Offering:

(i)            the Company shall, promptly after receipt of a Take-Down Notice, deliver such notice to any other holders of Registrable Securities included on such Shelf Registration and permit each holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration in the Shelf Offering if such holder notifies the proposing holders and the Company within three (3) days after delivery of the Take-Down Notice to such holder, and

(ii)           in the event that the managing underwriter(s), if any, advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, such underwriter(s), if any, may limit the number of shares which would otherwise be included in such take-down offering in the same manner as is described in Section 1(c).

No holder of Registrable Securities that has included Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration shall be entitled to sell shares included as part of a Shelf Registration unless included as part of a Shelf Offering.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise consented to by the holders of Registrable Securities initially requesting such Shelf Offering, no other holder to whom such notice is provided may include in such Shelf Offering a greater percentage of such holder’s Registrable Securities than the percentage of Registrable Securities included by the holders requesting such Shelf Offering.

8.     Rule 144 and Rule 144A Reporting.  With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission that may permit the sale of Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees at all times after the Company has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to use its reasonable best efforts to:  (a) make and keep public information regarding the Company available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Securities Act; (b) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the

13

Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (c) so long as a holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to the holder forthwith upon written request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and Rule 144A, and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as a holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission allowing a holder to sell any such securities without registration.

The presentation of an executed copy of this agreement by the iSystems Majority Holders to the Company’s independent accountants shall constitute the Company’s permission to its independent accountants to participate in discussions with such Person.

(c)   Confidentiality.  To the extent that any such information made available to any holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 9 (including Section 9(a)) would require disclosure under Regulation FD, such holder shall, as a condition to receiving any such information that is not otherwise publicly available, agree in writing to keep such information confidential and not disclose such information to any Person (i) unless such Person agrees to keep such information confidential or (ii) except as may be required by applicable law (including securities law).  Each holder of Registrable Securities party to this Agreement shall be deemed by its execution hereof to have satisfied the condition referred to in this Section 9(c) and, accordingly, the iSystems Board Representative may communicate with those holders of Registrable Securities and their direct and indirect limited partners or other equityholders who have agreed in writing to keep such information confidential and to comply with applicable securities laws regarding their investment in the Company without violation of any duty to, policy of or agreement with the Company.  Any holder of Registrable Securities may, at any time and from time to time, deliver written notice to the Company that it does not desire to receive all or any portion of any material non-public information to which it is otherwise entitled (without prejudice to such holder’s right to receive such information in the future).

(d)   Corporate Governance.  As long as any Registrable Securities are issued and outstanding, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the iSystems Majority Holders (which may be withhold in their sole and absolute discretion), adopt any policy or take, or cause to be taken, directly or indirectly, any action, including making or failing to make any election under the law of any state, which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of restricting or limiting the ability of any holder of Registrable Securities freely to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of shares of the Company’s capital stock or would restrict or limit the rights of any transferee of any holder of Registrable Securities as a holder of the Company’s capital stock or to receive information from the iSystems Board Representative, other than the restrictions expressly agreed to herein, including the lock-up in Section 9(b)(i) or in any lock-up agreement executed by such holder after the date hereof or as may be required for the Company to comply with applicable securities laws or the requirements of NASDAQ or any other stock exchange listing shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not, as long as any Registrable Securities are issued and outstanding, without the prior written consent of the iSystems Majority Holders (which may be withhold in their sole and absolute discretion), take any action, or take any action to recommend to its stockholders any action, which would, among other things, limit the legal rights of, or deny any benefit to, any holder of Registrable Securities as a stockholder of the Company either (i) solely as a result of the amount of Common Stock owned by iSystems or (ii) in a manner not applicable to the Company’s stockholders generally.

15

(e)   Information to Competitor.  The Company may, without violation of this Section 9, refuse to provide any information or grant access to any Person that is a competitor or its Representatives to the extent it determines that provision of such information or access to such Person or its Representatives would be reasonably likely to cause economic or competitive harm to the Company or its Subsidiaries or would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of applicable law; provided that, no Person or its Representatives may be prevented from receiving such information or access solely as a result of the Company’s determination that provision of such information or access would cause a violation of applicable securities law if such Person or its Representatives acknowledge in writing the restrictions under applicable securities law about trading on material nonpublic information.

(f)    Lock-Up.

(i)            Until May 25, 2018, unless otherwise approved by the Company in writing or except as part of a merger or consolidation affecting the Company that has been recommended or approved by the Board or a tender offer for the Company’s equity securities that has been recommended or approved by the Board, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each holder of Registrable Securities shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, pledge, transfer, offer to sell, make any short sale, grant any option for the purchase, or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of equity securities of the Company, or any securities, warrants, options or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities.

(ii)           Until May 25, 2018, holders of Registrable Securities will not vote any equity securities of the Company at meetings called or held for the purpose of electing directors of the Company or other purposes (or by consent action taken in lieu of such a meeting), (a) to seek, cause, promote or support the removal of any member of the Board (other than in accordance with the recommendation of the Board or any such action with respect to the iSystems Board Representative), or (b) to vote, or solicit, or participate with any other Person in the solicitation of, proxies, in order to vote, advise or influence any Person with respect to, and solely with respect to, the voting of shares of equity securities of the Company other than (x) in favor of each director that the Board recommends for election to the Board, (y) against any director that the Board has not nominated for election, and (z) in accordance with the recommendation of the Board on any other matters proposed by the Company or by one or more stockholders of the Company; provided that the foregoing shall not limit or restrict how any holder of Registrable Securities votes or consents in connection with (I) any proposed merger, acquisition, tender offer, share issuance, affiliate transaction or other business combination or extraordinary transaction for which the vote of the stockholders of the Company is sought, (II) any “say on pay” or other equity or cash compensation proposal relating to employees or other service providers of the Company or (III) any proposed amendment or modification to, or restatement of, the Company’s certificate of incorporation (including, if requiring any vote of stockholders under Delaware law, any certificate of designation with respect thereto), on which proposals each holder of Registrable Securities may vote in its own absolute discretion.

10.  Board Representatives.  Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10, the iSystems Majority Holders shall have the right to designate one (1) representative for election to the

16

Board of the Company (the “iSystems Board Representative”) until the iSystems Expiration Date.  The terms and conditions governing the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be as follows:

(a)   Interim Appointment of Directors.  From and after the date of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2017 at which directors will be elected (but in no event later than June 6, 2017) (the “Beginning Date”) until the iSystems Expiration Date, the iSystems Majority Holders may nominate one (1) iSystems Board Representative to be elected to the Board which individual shall initially be Daniel Gill.  Subject only to such actions not being in violation of the fiduciary duties of members of the Company’s Board to the Company, applicable law or stock exchange requirements, the Company shall take all action necessary such that the number of directors on the Board of the Company shall (if necessary) be increased such that the iSystems Board Representative may then serve on the Board and such vacancy shall be filled by the designees of the iSystems Majority Holders, effective as of the day following the Beginning Date (or, if later, the date that the iSystems Majority Holders determine to appoint such iSystems Board Representative); provided that if the Company avoids its obligations under this sentence or this Section 10(a) because it deems such nomination to be in violation of fiduciary duties of members of the Board of the Company, applicable law or stock exchange requirements, the iSystems Majority Holders shall be entitled to appoint an alternative nominee to be the iSystems Board Representative who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.  The iSystems Board Representative appointed pursuant to this Section 10(a) shall continue to hold office until such iSystems Board Representative’s term expires, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or termination of term of office as provided in this Section 10.

(b)   Continuing Designation of iSystems Board Representative.  Prior to the iSystems Expiration Date, in connection with the expiration of the term of any iSystems Board Representative, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10(c) and subject only to such nomination not being in violation of the fiduciary duties of members of the Board of the Company, applicable law or stock exchange requirements, nominate the iSystems Board Representative designated by the iSystems Majority Holders for election to the Board of the Company, which nominee shall be Daniel Gill or such other individual reasonably acceptable to the Company, and solicit proxies from the Company’s stockholders in favor of the election of such iSystems Board Representative; provided that if the Company avoids its obligations under this sentence or this Section 10(b) because it deems such nomination to be in violation of fiduciary duties of members of the Board of the Company, applicable law or stock exchange requirements, the iSystems Majority Holders shall be entitled to appoint an alternative nominee to be the iSystems Board Representative who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.  Subject to the provisions of Section 10(c), the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such iSystems Board Representative to be elected to the Board of the Company (including voting all unrestricted proxies in favor of the election of such iSystems Board Representative and including recommending approval of such iSystems Board Representative’s appointment to the Board of the Company as provided for in the Company’s proxy statement) and shall not take any action which would diminish the prospects of such iSystems Board Representative of being elected to the Board of the Company.

(c)   Termination of iSystems Board Representative Designation Rights.  The right of the iSystems Majority Holders to designate an iSystems Board Representative pursuant to this Section 10 shall terminate on the iSystems Expiration Date.

(d)   Resignation; Removal; and Vacancies.

(i)            Resignation.  An elected iSystems Board Representative may resign from the Company’s Board at any time by giving written notice to the Company at its principal

17

executive office.  The resignation is effective without acceptance when the notice is given to the Company, unless a later effective time is specified in the notice.

(ii)           Removal.  So long as the iSystems Majority Holders retain the right to designate a director pursuant to Section 10(b) and Section 10(c), the Company shall remove the iSystems Board Representative only if so directed in writing by the iSystems Majority Holders.

(iii)          Vacancies.  In the event of a vacancy on the Company’s Board resulting from the death, disqualification, resignation, retirement, removal or termination of term of office of an iSystems Board Representative designated by the iSystems Majority Holders, then the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to fill such vacancy with a representative designated by the iSystems Majority Holders as provided hereunder, in either case to serve until the next annual or special meeting of the stockholders (and at such meeting, such representative, or another representative designated by such holders, will be elected to the Company’s Board in the manner set forth in the Company’s Bylaws).  If the iSystems Majority Holders fail or decline to fill the vacancy, then the directorship shall remain open until such time as the iSystems Majority Holders elect to fill it with a representative designated hereunder.

(e)   Fees & Expenses.  The iSystems Board Representative shall be entitled to fees, other compensation and reimbursement of expenses commensurate with, and no less favorable than, those paid to members of the Company’s Board who are not employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(f)    Subsidiary Boards; Committees.  Subject to applicable law and the rules of any exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, at the request of the iSystems Majority Holders, as applicable, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the iSystems Board Representative to be appointed to the Boards of each Subsidiary of the Company (each, a “Sub Board”) and each committee of the Board and each Sub Board. The iSystems Board Representative shall be appointed to any “executive” or similar committee of the Board and any Sub Board on which he serves.

(g)   D&O Insurance. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy for the benefit of all directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the iSystems Board Representative) from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier and in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing directors and officers liability insurance policy for so long as the iSystems Board Representative remains a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(h)   Reporting Information.  With respect to the iSystems Board Representative designated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10, the iSystems Majority Holders shall cause the iSystems Board Representative to provide to the Company with all necessary assistance and information related to such iSystems Board Representative that is required under Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies or otherwise, including such Person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement (if applicable) and to serving as a director if elected.

(i)    Policies.  Other than the Company’s policies and committee charters, as filed with the SEC or available on its website as of the date hereof and its insider trading policy in effect as of the date hereof, the Company has no policies binding on its directors and will not approve or adopt any such policy that is binding on the iSystems Board Representative (and will not assert a claim that the iSystems Board Representative is in violation of any duty to the Company arising from), iSystems or any other holders of Registrable Securities exercising any rights under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement to which it is party with the Agreement or as a result of any communications with

18

holders of Registrable Securities or any direct or indirect members or limited partners thereof related to the Company to the extent the recipient of such information has agreed in writing to keep such information confidential and has agreed to comply with applicable securities laws with respect to such information. Nothing in this Section 10(i) shall restrict the Company from adopting any policy that is required under applicable Delaware law, securities laws or the rules of NASDAQ or any other stock exchange governing shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

(j)    Third-Party Beneficiary.  The iSystems Board Representative is an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

(b)   Opinion Delivery.  In connection with the transfer of any Restricted Securities (other than a transfer described in Section 12(a)(i) or (ii) above), upon the request of the Company, the holder thereof shall deliver written notice to the Company describing in reasonable detail the transfer or proposed transfer, together with an opinion of Kirkland & Ellis LLP or other counsel which (to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in securities law matters to the effect that such transfer of Restricted Securities may be effected without registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act.  In addition, if the holder of the Restricted Securities delivers to the Company an opinion of Kirkland & Ellis LLP or such other counsel that no subsequent transfer of such Restricted Securities shall require registration under the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly upon such contemplated transfer deliver new certificates for such Restricted Securities which do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in Section 12(c).

(c)   Legend.  Each certificate or instrument representing Restricted Securities shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.  THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN OF ITS INVESTORS DATED AS OF [           ], 20[  ], AS AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME.  A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE.”

(d)   Legend Removal.  If any Restricted Securities become eligible for sale without restriction pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall, upon the request of the holder of such Restricted Securities, remove the legend set forth in Section 12(c) from the certificates for such Restricted Securities.

13.  Miscellaneous.

(a)   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic transmission), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

(b)   Descriptive Headings.  The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

(c)   Remedies.  Any Person having rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to

21

exercise all other rights granted by law (including in the case of injunctive relief, without a requirement of posting a bond).

(d)   Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only upon the prior written consent of the Company and iSystems Majority Holders.

(e)   No Inconsistent Agreements or Actions. The Company represents and warrants to iSystems that it is not a party to, or otherwise subject to, any other agreement granting registration rights to any Person with respect to any securities of the Company other than this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 10, 2012, and covenants and agrees that it will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which violates the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement.  The Company will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities which would materially and adversely affect the ability of any holder of Registrable Securities to include its Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

(f)    Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.  In addition, whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the purchasers or holders of any type of Registrable Securities are, except as otherwise described herein, also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent holder of Registrable Securities.  Nothing herein shall limit the right of iSystems or its equityholders to distribute the shares hereunder to its direct and indirect members, subject to such conditions as may be imposed by iSystems with respect thereto; provided that in order to obtain any benefits of this Agreement, any subsequent holder of Registrable Securities or any assignee of iSystems shall execute a counterpart to this Agreement agreeing to be bound the terms hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Person other than iSystems or one or more Affiliates of Silver Oak Services Partners, LLC be entitled to exercise rights pursuant to Section 9 or Section 10 hereof.

(g)   Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.

(h)   Governing Law.  The corporate law of the State of Delaware shall govern all issues and questions concerning the relative rights of the Company and its stockholders.  All other issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all schedules and exhibits hereto), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.  Whenever used herein, “including” means “including, without limitation.”

(i)    Notices.  All notices, demands or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally to the recipient, sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) or mailed to the recipient by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid.  Such notices, demands and other communications shall be sent to a particular holder

22

of Registrable Securities at the address indicated on the books and records of the Company and to the Company at its principal executive office (to the attention of the Company’s president) or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party.

(j)    Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

(k)   References to Equity Securities.  Whenever there is a reference to any series, class or type of equity securities (e.g., Common Stock), such reference shall include a reference to any equity securities issued to the holder thereof in respect of such securities in any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, exchange, conversion, stock spilt, stock combination or other transaction.
