(d)If (i) the sum of the Closing Non-Cash Working Capital and the Closing Cash less (ii) the sum of Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses, in each case as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.6, is higher or lower than (A) the sum of the Estimated Non-Cash Working Capital and Estimated Cash less (B) the sum of the Estimated Indebtedness and the Estimated Transaction Expenses, then Purchaser or Seller (on behalf of Holdco), as the case may be, shall pay to the other, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days after the date on which the Closing Non-Cash Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses are final and binding on the Parties in accordance with this Section 2.6 to an account designated in writing by the receiving Party, an amount, if any, that puts each of Purchaser and Seller in the position each would have been in if the Estimated Closing Purchase Price, and the payment pursuant to Section 2.5 on account of the Estimated Closing Purchase Price, had been computed using the Closing Non-Cash Working Capital, the Closing Cash and the Closing Indebtedness, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.6, in lieu of the Estimated Non-Cash Working Capital, the Estimated Cash, the Estimated Indebtedness and the Estimated Transaction Expenses. In the case of any payment made by or to

-26-

Seller under this Section 2.6(d), such payment shall be treated as having been made by or to Holdco and on behalf of Holdco.

(e)For Tax purposes, amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be deemed an adjustment to the Estimated Closing Purchase Price.

(f)In connection with this Section 2.6, each Party shall be entitled to review the working papers, trial balances and similar materials of the others for purposes of reviewing any calculations provided hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall provide Seller and the accountants engaged by Seller with timely and reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the Company’s personnel, properties, books and records, in each case at the expense of the Company, provided that nothing in this Section 2.6(f) shall require the Company or Parent or any of their respective Affiliates to disclose any information to Seller that (i) would violate the maintenance of attorney‑client or other legal privileges or doctrines or (ii) would violate applicable Regulations or limitations imposed by any Governmental Body.

(g)Amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 2.6(d) shall bear interest from the Closing Date to the date of such payment at a rate equal to the rate of interest from time to time announced publicly by The Wall Street Journal as its prime rate, calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the number of days elapsed. Payments in respect of Section 2.6(d) shall be made within five Business Days of final determination of the Closing Purchase Price (and any adjustment thereto) pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated in writing by the Party entitled to such payment at least two Business Days prior to such payment date.

Section 2.7    Withholding Rights. Each of the Company and Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent and Seller reasonably agree are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of applicable Regulations. If the Company or Purchaser so withholds any such amounts and pays such amounts over to the appropriate Governmental Body, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect of which the Company, Parent, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.8    Confirmation of Certain Payment Responsibilities. In the event that the Company is not the sole obligor of any item that is included in Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses or Current Liabilities, then the Company shall, by virtue of such inclusion, be deemed to be the sole obligor of such item, and the Company shall be deemed to have assumed at the Closing the primary obligation to pay such item and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller Party and its Affiliates against and on account of any and all such items.

Following the Closing, the Seller Parties shall not retain in their possession or control, in any form, any agreements, documents, Books and Records, files or other information, or any computer disks, records, tapes or any other storage medium that contains any agreements, documents, Books and Records, files and other information, relating primarily to the Business (including any personal or other information stored on any Company media by any employees of the Company); provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to agreements, documents, Books and Records, files and other information that are: (i) contained in any electronic file created pursuant to a Seller Party’s routine back-up or archiving procedure, (ii) required by either Seller Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with the provision of services to the Company pursuant to the Transition Services Agreements or (iii) required by a Seller Party for compliance with Regulations; and provided further that, if and so long as, any such information is Confidential Information then such Confidential

-49-

Information shall be kept confidential in accordance with Section 6.2(e). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Seller Party discovers following the Closing Date that it is in possession of or has under its control any such items that it is not permitted to retain pursuant to the foregoing or the following sentence, then such Seller Party shall thereafter permanently delete and erase all such information (including all copies thereof) in its possession or under its control as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that any Books and Records or other information to be delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) relate not only to the Company but to either Seller Party or other Affiliates of Seller or are necessary for Seller or any of its Affiliates to comply with Regulations or to comply with Contracts, then Seller shall be entitled to retain copies of such Books and Records or other information to the extent necessary for such compliance.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Section 6.2 shall require the Seller Parties, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to disclose any information to Purchaser if such disclosure (i) would violate the maintenance of attorney‑client or other legal privileges or doctrines, or (ii) would violate applicable Regulations or limitations imposed by any Governmental Body.

(d)Each of Parent and Purchaser will hold and will cause its representatives and Affiliates to hold in confidence all documents and information furnished to it in connection with the Transaction pursuant to the terms of that certain confidentiality agreement dated July 26, 2018 between Seller and Parent (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”). All materials reviewed or received in connection with this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to be Evaluation Material (as defined in the Non-Disclosure Agreement) for the purposes of the Non-Disclosure Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall expire and no longer apply to Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates.

(e)For a period of three years following the Closing Date, each Seller Party shall not, and each Seller Party shall direct its Representatives not to, use for its or their own commercial benefit or divulge or convey to any third party for such third party’s commercial benefit, any Confidential Information; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing restriction, Seller or its Representatives may furnish such portion (and only such portion) of the Confidential Information as such Seller Party or such Representative reasonably determines it is legally obligated to disclose if: (i) it receives a request to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information under the terms of a subpoena, civil investigative demand or order issued by a Governmental Body; (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with such request, it notifies Purchaser of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request and consults with Purchaser on the advisability of taking steps available under applicable Regulations to resist or narrow such request; and (iii) it exercises reasonable best efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the disclosed Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” consists of non-public information and data relating to the Company or this Transaction other than information that is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.2(e) by a Seller Party or its Representatives, but in no event shall information exclusively relating to or exclusively used in the operation of the Simply Mac Business be Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Seller Party or its Representatives may (without notice to Parent or Purchaser), furnish Confidential Information to one or more Persons who execute a customary confidentiality agreement in connection with any negotiations or discussions involving any Seller CIC Transaction; provided,

-50-

that the Seller Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for any breaches of any such confidentiality agreements by the counterparties thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2, this Section 6.2 is subject to Section 11.7.

Section 6.3.    Exclusivity. Each Seller Party and the Company agree that between the Agreement Date and the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement, such Seller Party and the Company shall not, and each shall take all action necessary to ensure that their respective Affiliates and Representatives shall not, directly or indirectly,

(a)solicit, initiate, consider, encourage or accept any other proposals or offers from any Person (i) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of all or any portion of the capital stock or other equity or ownership interest of the Company or assets of the Company, other than inventory to be sold in the Ordinary Course, (ii) to enter into any merger, consolidation or other business combination involving all or any portion of the capital stock or other equity or ownership interest of the Company or assets of the Company or (iii) to enter into a recapitalization, reorganization or any other extraordinary business transaction involving all or any portion of the capital stock or other equity or ownership interest of the Company or assets of the Company (the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Company Sale Transaction”) (for the avoidance of doubt, a Company Sale Transaction shall exclude a Seller CIC Transaction and the Reorganization); or

(b)participate in any discussions, conversations, negotiations or other communications regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way, assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any other Person to seek to do any of the foregoing. Each Seller Party and the Company immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, conversations, negotiations and other communications with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to a Company Sale Transaction.

Seller and/or the Company shall notify Purchaser promptly, but in any event within 24 hours, orally and in writing if any such proposal or offer, or any inquiry or other contact with any Person with respect to a Company Sale Transaction, is made. Any such notice to Purchaser shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact and the terms and conditions of such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact. Each Seller Party and the Company shall not release any Person from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which such Seller Party or the Company is a party relating to a Company Sale Transaction, without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.3 or any other provision in this Agreement shall prohibit or limit a Seller Party from soliciting, initiating, considering, encouraging or accepting any other proposals or offers or participating in any discussions, conversations, negotiations or other communications regarding a Seller CIC Transaction with any third-party (and from consummating any such Seller CIC Transaction) provided that any such Seller CIC Transaction does not prevent, prohibit, challenge or materially hinder or delay the consummation of the Transaction.

-51-

Section 6.4.    Regulatory Filings and Clearances.

(a)Each of Parent, the Seller Parties and the Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to make required filings with respect to the Transaction pursuant to the HSR Act, including a Notification and Report Form. The foregoing filing shall be made as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than five Business Days after, the Agreement Date. Each of the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to supply as promptly as practicable, and within the time frame required by applicable Regulations or any extension of time requested thereunder, any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. Each of the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act, including but not limited to substantial compliance with any request for additional information or documentary materials issued under 16 CFR §803.20, compliance with any properly issued civil investigative demands and interrogatories.

(b)In connection with the efforts referenced in Section 6.4(a), each of the Parties shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Regulations, (i) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the other Parties in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, (ii) keep the other Parties informed of any material communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding the Transaction and (iii) permit the other Parties, to the extent practicable, through their legal advisors, to (A) review any material communication given by them to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, the FTC or the DOJ, or (B) in connection with any proceeding by a private party, consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with such private party.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall not be required to take or agree to undertake any action, including entering into any consent decree, hold separate order or other arrangement, that would (A) require the divestiture of any assets of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (B) limit Parent or Purchaser’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to consolidate and control, the Company or any of its assets or businesses or any of Parent’s, Purchaser’s or their respective Affiliates’ other assets or businesses or (C) limit Parent’s or Purchaser’s ability to acquire or hold, or exercise full rights of ownership with respect to, the Interests, in each case to the extent such actions would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the value of the Company or Parent and its Subsidiaries (each such action, a “Burdensome Action”).

Section 6.5.    Third Party Approvals and Consents. Each Seller Party and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Required Seller Consents; provided, that Purchaser and Parent shall have no obligation to give any guarantee or other consideration of any nature in connections with any Required Seller Consents.

-52-

Section 6.6.    Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Section 6.4 and Section 6.5, each of the Parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions and to do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary under applicable Regulations to consummate and effect the Transaction, including (a) contesting any legal proceeding seeking to prevent the Transaction and (b) executing any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transaction, in each case to the extent taking such actions would not constitute Burdensome Actions. If at any time after the Closing any further action is reasonably necessary to consummate or make effective the Transaction, the proper officers and directors of each Party shall use reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all such necessary action. In the event that a Seller Party or a Subsidiary of Seller (other than the Company) has any obligations pursuant to any Real Property Lease or related document that has not been terminated prior to the Closing, then Parent and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such termination in connection with any renewal or modification of any such Real Property Lease, provided that neither Parent nor Purchaser shall be obligated to give any guarantee or other consideration of any nature in connection with any such renewal or modification.

Section 6.7.    Indemnification; Insurance. Seller shall maintain in effect for six (6) years after the Closing, insurance “tail” or other insurance policies with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on comparable terms as, and covering those Persons who are currently covered by, the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance at least to the same extent as such directors and officers are currently covered. Every Person who is a director or officer of the Company immediately prior to the Closing who is named as an insured party on a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance shall continue to be so named for such six (6) year period following the Closing.

Section 6.8.    Employee Benefits.

(a)Parent will cause the Company to continue to provide, and will not interfere with or prevent the Company from providing, to all active employees of the Company as of the Closing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred Employees) who remain employed by the Company following the Closing (collectively, the “Affected Employees”), for the period beginning at the Closing and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing (the “Continuation Period”), base compensation, annual bonus compensation opportunities, tax-qualified retirement benefits, and welfare benefits which are no less favorable in the aggregate as those provided to such Affected Employees immediately prior to the Closing (including in particular, severance benefits no less favorable than those contemplated by the Company’s existing severance practices, as summarized in Section 6.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule); provided, that, benefits shall be no less favorable than those granted to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring the Company to continue any specific employee benefit plan or to continue the employment of any specific Person for any specific period of time following the Closing.

(b)Parent will, during the Continuation Period, cause the Company to honor, and will not interfere with or prevent the Company from honoring, all unused vacation, holiday, paid time off, sickness and personal days accrued by the employees of the Company under the policies and practices of the Company. In the event of any change in the welfare benefits provided to any Affected Employee during the Continuation Period, Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions,

-53-

exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Affected Employees under such plan, except to the extent that such conditions, exclusions or waiting periods would apply under the Company’s then-existing plans absent any change in such welfare plan coverage and (ii) provide each Affected Employee and their eligible dependents with credit for any co‑payments and deductibles paid prior to any such change in coverage in satisfying any applicable deductible or out‑of‑pocket requirements under such new or changed plan. Parent will cause the Company to provide, and will not interfere with or prevent the Company from providing, each Affected Employee with credit for all service with the Company and its ERISA Affiliates under each employee benefit plan, policy, program or arrangement in which such Affected Employee is eligible to participate to the same extent provided under the corresponding Benefit Plan, except for any plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or any plan, program or policy providing retiree health or life benefits, or except to the extent that it would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of services. The service of Transferred Employees with Seller will be deemed to include service with the Company for purposes of this Section 6.8(b).

(c)For purposes of unvested cash- and stock-based long-term incentive awards held by Affected Employees immediately prior to Closing (including any accrued but unvested dividends associated with such stock-based long-term incentive awards) (collectively, the “Affected Awards”), Seller will allow the portions of those awards that are otherwise scheduled to vest on or prior to March 3, 2019 (the “Applicable Tranches”) to remain outstanding following the Closing and will continue to treat the Company as an affiliate of the Seller through March 3, 2019 solely for purposes of determining whether the service-based vesting conditions of the Applicable Tranches are satisfied.  In addition, if an Affected Employee becomes entitled to severance benefits in accordance with Section 6.8(a) prior to the scheduled vesting date of such Affected Employee’s Applicable Tranche, such Applicable Tranche will vest and become payable as of the date of such severance event; and Seller retains the right, in its discretion, to settle any stock-based Applicable Tranche in cash based on the closing price of Seller common stock on the vesting date of the Applicable Tranche.  As a condition of the continued and/or accelerated vesting described in this paragraph and settlement thereof, each Affected Employee may be required by Seller to execute a release of claims against the Seller, the Company and their affiliates in such form as Seller may prescribe.  Seller and the Company agree to cooperate and exchange such information as may be reasonably necessary to confirm any Affected Employee’s entitlement to the vesting of an Applicable Tranche.  For avoidance of doubt, Seller (and not the Company) will be entitled to claim any tax deduction arising with respect to the vesting and/or payment of the Applicable Tranches. All portions of the Affected Awards other than the Applicable Tranches will be forfeited without consideration as of the Closing and Seller will have no liability to any party in respect thereof.

(d)Nothing contained in this Section 6.8, express or implied, shall (i) create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee of the Company (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof), or (ii) be deemed to amend any Benefit Plan or any other benefit plan, program or arrangement of the Company, Parent or their Affiliates.

-54-

Section 6.9.    Preservation of Books and Records. Each of Parent and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve and keep, or cause to be preserved and kept, all original Books and Records in respect of the Business in the possession of Parent, the Company or their respective Affiliates for a period of seven years after the Closing Date. Subject to Seller and its Representatives executing and delivering a customary confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, Seller or its Representatives, upon reasonable advance notice, shall have access during normal business hours to examine and inspect such Books and Records solely in connection with the preparation of any report or Tax return required to be filed by Seller under applicable Regulations (but so as not to unduly disrupt the normal course of operations of Purchaser or the Company) relating to the conduct of the Business prior to the Closing. Purchaser and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller and its Representatives with, or cause to be provided to Seller and its Representatives, such original Books and Records of the Business relating to the conduct of the Business prior to the Closing, as Seller shall reasonably request in connection with any Action to which Seller is a party (other than any Action arising under this Agreement). This Section 6.9 shall not restrict access of Seller and its Representatives to Books and Records of the Company for purposes of the reviews and activities under Section 2.6 and as and to the extent provided in Section 6.2.

Section 6.10.    R&W Insurance Policy. The Company and each Seller Party shall provide reasonable and customary cooperation to Parent and Purchaser in connection with the R&W Insurance Policy, including providing the insurance company and its representatives with such information reasonably available to the Company and customarily reviewed by the insurance companies and their representatives in connection with issuing policies similar to the R&W Insurance Policy; provided, however, in no event shall the Company be required to make any representations or warranties with respect to information other than the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 and Article 4 of this Agreement. Promptly after it is received by Parent, Parent shall deliver a copy of the final R&W Insurance Policy to the Company and Seller. Parent shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates to not) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision regarding waiver of subrogation set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent may be given or withheld by Seller in its sole discretion.

Section 6.11.    Release. Effective as of the Closing, in consideration for Parent’s acceptance of the limitations on Parent’s right to indemnification pursuant to Article 10, each Seller Party, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, agents, representatives, attorneys, successors, assigns, dependents, heirs, executors and administrators, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally forever releases, acquits and discharges the Company, Parent and its respective Affiliates (and any of the respective predecessors, successors, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, assigns, dependents, heirs, executors and administrators) from any and all claims, rights, actions, suits, damages, losses, expenses, liabilities, indebtedness and causes of actions, of whatever kind or nature (including advancement or contribution) that existed or arose from the beginning of time through the Closing, regardless of whether known or unknown, and regardless of whether asserted to date. The foregoing shall not constitute a release of claims with respect to (a) payments to the Parties Seller in consideration for Interests to which the Seller Parties are entitled pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) claims arising under this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Transaction in each case, in effect as of the Closing Date or (c) any right of indemnification in favor of, or limitation of liability of, a current or former director, member, officer, employee or manager of the Company pursuant to the Organizational

-55-

Documents of the Company or pursuant to any liability insurance policies (or the equivalent thereof) of the Company, in each case, in effect as of the Closing Date. Each Seller Party (A) understands that the release contained in this Section 6.11 is binding on such Seller Party and its Affiliates, agents, representatives, attorneys, successors, assigns, dependents, heirs, executors and administrators, and (B) represents and warrants that (x) it has had the opportunity to consult with counsel of its choice, (y) it is fully informed of the nature and contents of this release and (z) it has entered into this release freely and without any threat or coercion whatsoever.

Section 6.12.    Termination of Related Party Agreements. Except as provided on Section 6.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company and the Seller Parties shall cause all accounts, arrangements or Contracts between the Company, on the one hand, and Seller, its Affiliates (other than the Company) or any Related Party of the Seller Parties or the Company, on the other hand, to be cancelled or terminated without any consideration or further liability to any Party and without the need for any further documentation, immediately prior to the Closing.

Section 6.13.    Financing.

(a)Parent and Purchaser shall use their reasonable best efforts to consummate the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Financing Commitment, at or prior to the Closing, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Financing Commitment in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, (ii) negotiate and enter into all definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Financing Commitment or as may otherwise be agreed (taking account the limitations on amendments and modifications to the Debt Commitment Letter set forth below in this Section 6.13(a)), (iii) satisfy (or, if determined by Parent to be advisable, obtain waivers with respect to) all conditions to the consummation of the Debt Financing applicable to, and within the control of, Parent or Purchaser in the Debt Financing Commitment and in such definitive agreements and (iv) subject to the terms and conditions of the Debt Financing Commitment, cause the lenders and the other Persons providing such financing to provide the Debt Financing on the Closing Date (provided that Parent and Purchaser shall not be required to initiate legal proceedings against such lenders and other Persons to enforce their obligations to provide the Debt Financing). Without limiting the foregoing obligation, neither Parent nor Purchaser shall consent to any amendment or modification to the Debt Financing Commitment if such amendment or modification would (1) change the conditions precedent set forth therein in any respect that would make such conditions materially less likely to be satisfied by the Closing Date, (2) change the timing of the funding of the commitments thereunder in any manner that would be reasonably expected to materially delay the consummation of the Transaction, (3) change the cash amount of the funding commitments thereunder to an amount below the amount that is required, together with other financial resources of Parent and Purchaser, to consummate the Transaction on the terms contemplated by this Agreement or (4) otherwise adversely affect the ability of Parent and Purchaser to enforce their rights under the Debt Financing Commitment or consummate the Transaction on the terms and conditions of this Agreement (collectively, the “Restricted Commitment Amendments”) (provided, that subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.13(a), Parent and Purchaser may amend the Debt Financing Commitment to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Financing Commitment as of the Agreement Date).

-56-

(b)In the event any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Financing Commitment, Parent and Purchaser shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on terms and conditions not materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Parent and Purchaser (as reasonably determined by Parent and Purchaser) than those contained in the Debt Financing Commitment (taking into account all applicable “marketing flex” provisions applicable thereto) in an amount, when taken together with other financial resources of Parent and Purchaser, that will be sufficient for Purchaser to consummate the Transaction upon the terms contemplated by this Agreement and pay all related fees and expenses.

(c)Parent shall promptly notify Seller in writing: (i) of any material breach or default by any party to any Debt Financing Commitment or definitive agreement related thereto of which Parent or Purchaser becomes aware; (ii) of the receipt by Parent or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or Representatives of any notice or other communication from any Person with respect to any actual or asserted breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Debt Financing Commitment or any definitive agreement related thereto; and (iii) if for any reason Parent or Purchaser believes in good faith that there is a reasonable possibility that they will not be able to obtain the financing contemplated in the Debt Financing Commitment on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements related thereto in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transaction.

(d)In order to assist with the Debt Financing (except in the case of the matters covered in clause (iv), which relate solely to the Company and not to Seller), the Company and each Seller Party shall promptly provide, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their Representatives to promptly provide, reasonable assistance and cooperation as Purchaser and its Affiliates may reasonably request, including, but not limited to, (i) participating in a reasonable number of presentations and meetings (including customary one-on-one meetings between senior management and representatives of the Company and the Financing Sources, prospective lenders in respect of the Debt Financing and rating agencies) and reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of Purchaser and the Financing Sources, (ii) assisting with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda, business projections, lender presentations and similar documents prepared in connection with the Debt Financing, including execution and delivery of customary representation letters in connection with bank information memoranda, (iii) furnishing Purchaser and the Financing Sources with financial, due diligence material and other pertinent information regarding the Company as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or the Financing Sources and readily available to Seller including furnishing the Required Information, (iv) subject to and contingent upon consummation of the Closing, executing and delivering, as of the Closing Date, any definitive financing documents, including any credit agreements, guarantees, pledge agreements, security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust and other security documents or other certificates, documents and instruments relating to guarantees, the pledge of the collateral securing the Debt Financing and other matters ancillary to the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the Debt Financing and otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of, and granting and perfecting of Encumbrances in, the collateral securing the Debt Financing (including cooperation in connection with the payoff of the indebtedness of the Company and the termination of related Encumbrances provided no such Encumbrances shall extend to Excluded Assets), (v) furnishing within the time period specified in the Debt Financing Commitment, all documentation and other information required by regulators

-57-

and authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act and (vi) taking all corporate or other actions, and providing such other reasonable assistance as reasonably requested by Purchaser to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing and to permit the proceeds thereof to be made available to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing agreements in this Section 6.13, any cooperation requested by Parent or Purchaser shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company or Seller and, in the case of clause (iv) of the preceding sentence, the Company and its Representatives shall not be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing. The Company hereby consents to the use of its logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, nor reasonably likely to, harm or disparage the Company. For purposes of this Section 6.13(d), references to Debt Financing shall include any alternative financing obtained pursuant to Section 6.13(b).

(e)None of the Seller Parties, the Company nor any of their respective Representatives shall be required to take any action that would subject any of them to actual or potential liability, to bear any cost or expense or to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment or incur any other liability or provide or agree to provide any indemnity, in each case in connection with the Debt Financing (in the case of the Company, prior to the Closing) or their performance of their respective obligations under this Section 6.13 (except solely as and to the extent provided in clause (iv) of the first sentence of Section 6.13(d)). Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Seller Parties, the Company and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and the performance of their respective obligations under this Section 6.13 and any information utilized in connection therewith; provided, that Parent shall not have any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any Person to the extent such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments or penalties result from a Seller Party’s, the Company’s or their respective Representatives’ acts or omissions constituting bad faith or willful misconduct. Parent shall, promptly upon request of Seller or the Company, and in any event within thirty (30) days of any such request, reimburse Seller and the Company for any reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses or other similar amounts (including those of its Representatives) incurred by the Seller Parties or the Company in connection with the Debt Financing in connection with the cooperation required by this Section 6.13.

Section 6.14.    Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser and the Seller Parties agree that the Transaction shall exclude all Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities. Each Seller Party or its Affiliates (other than the Company) shall retain all benefits and liabilities with respect to the Excluded Assets and the Excluded Liabilities, and each Seller Party shall, and shall cause the Company prior to the Closing, to distribute, transfer or assign, in each case effective prior to the Closing, all of the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities to Seller or its Affiliates.

-58-

Section 6.15.    Non-Compete; Non-Solicit.

(a)From the Closing until the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), the Seller Parties shall not, and shall cause their Subsidiaries not to, engage within the United States in the business of selling cellular phones and related cellular service subscriptions at (i) walk-in retail locations of AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, MetroPCS, Cricket Wireless, Boost Mobile or similar national or regional cellular service providers (collectively, “Cellular Service Providers”) or (ii) at GameStop or ThinkGeek walk-in retail locations (a “Competing Business”).  In no event shall the preceding sentence (i) restrict either Seller Party or any of its Subsidiaries from holding or making investments not in excess of 5% of the outstanding securities of any publicly-traded entity engaged in a Competing Business, or (ii) restrict either Seller Party or any of its Subsidiaries from (I) continuing the Simply Mac Business, (II) selling, buying and trading pre-owned phones or related accessories, (III) continuing to engage in those activities that Seller and its Subsidiaries (other than the Company) are currently engaged in other than through the AT&T Stores, (IV) continuing or entering into new contractual arrangements with any Persons, including Cellular Service Providers, provided that (1) those arrangements are not for the purpose of the sale of cellular phones and related cellular service subscriptions at walk-in retail locations of the Cellular Service Providers, and (2) if any such contractual arrangements involve the sale by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries of cellular phones and the related cellular service subscriptions at GameStop or ThinkGeek walk-in retail locations, then such sales of cellular phones and the related cellular service subscriptions must be “incidental” (the foregoing requirement being hereinafter referred to as the “Incidental Sales Restriction”).  For the purpose of the Incidental Sales Restriction, the term “incidental” shall be defined as annual sales of cellular phones (excluding pre-owned phones) and the related cellular service subscriptions by Seller and its Subsidiaries at any such location of no more than five percent (5%) of total annual sales by Seller and its Subsidiaries at such location.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Seller CIC Transaction is consummated, the restrictions in this Section 6.15(a) shall not apply to the activities or operations of any Person that acquires the Seller or such Person’s Affiliates (other than the Seller and its Subsidiaries).  If Seller converts more than one hundred (100) of its GameStop or ThinkGeek walk-in retail locations to Simply Mac walk-in retail locations (each, a “Simply Mac Converted Operation”), then the Incidental Sales Restriction shall apply to sales at Simply Mac Converted Operations other than to sales at the first one hundred (100) of such Simply Mac Converted Operations.  If, through a joint venture or similar arrangement with a third party, Seller or a Subsidiary of Seller, converts more than three hundred (300) of  GameStop, ThinkGeek or Simply Mac walk-in retail locations to a different retail concept under a different brand or brands (each, a “Different Concept Converted Operation”), then the Incidental Sales Restriction shall apply to sales at the Different Concept Converted Operations other than to sales at the first three hundred (300) of such Different Concept Converted Operations, provided that in no event shall a Different Concept Converted Operation be an AT&T branded walk-in retail location.

(b)Except as disclosed on Section 6.15 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, during the Restricted Period, each Seller Party shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly through any Person or contractual arrangement, (i) solicit for employment or hire any Person who is an employee of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Person who was employed by the Company in the six months prior to such solicitation or hiring, (ii) induce or encourage any director, officer or employee of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment with Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (iii) influence or attempt to influence any customers, distributors or suppliers of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to divert their business to any competitor of the Company or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, distributor or supplier and Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including making any disparaging or negative statements or communications about their respective businesses or discouraging any such customer, distributor or supplier from maintaining the same business relationships with Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries after the Closing as it maintained with Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries prior to the Closing), or (iv) disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries and their respective officers, managers, directors and employees, or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or the benefit of anyone other than Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, any confidential or proprietary information of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) a general solicitation to the public through general advertising or similar methods of solicitation not specifically directed at employees of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries and any hiring as a result thereof, (ii) the solicitation of any employee who has been terminated by Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries prior to any such solicitation and any hiring as a result thereof or (iii) the hiring of any employee of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries who has initiated discussions regarding such employment without any direct or indirect solicitation by a Seller Party or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Seller CIC Transaction is consummated, the restrictions in this Section 6.15(b) shall not apply to the activities or operations of any Person that acquires Seller or such Person’s Affiliates (other than Seller and its Subsidiaries).

(c)Each Seller Party acknowledges that the covenants set forth in this Section 6.15 are an essential element of this Agreement and that any breach by a Seller Party or its Affiliates of any provision of this Section 6.15 may result in irreparable injury to Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Each Seller Party acknowledges that in the event of such a breach, in addition to all other remedies available at law, Purchaser may be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, as well as such other damages as may be appropriate.

(d)If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the character, duration or geographical scope of the provisions of this Section 6.15 are unreasonable, it is the intention and the agreement of Purchaser and the Seller Parties that these provisions shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on a Seller Party’s conduct that are reasonable in light of the circumstances and as are necessary to assure to the Company and Purchaser the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants of this Section 6.15 because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to assure to the Company and Purchaser the intended benefits of this

-60-

Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the Parties that the provisions hereof that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to be enforced in such proceeding, shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of such proceeding, from this Agreement.

Section 6.16.    Cash Dividend. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause all Cash of the Company to be dividended to Seller (if done prior to the Contribution) or Holdco (if done following the Contribution), except for $5,000,000; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to cause the Company to dividend (i) any Cash that is required to be held by the Company pursuant to Regulations or (ii) any Cash where the dividend or other transfer or repatriation of such Cash would result in the payment of any Taxes (withholding or otherwise) or penalties.

Section 6.17.    Post-Closing Cooperation; Reimbursement of Specified Amount.

(a)Parent and Purchaser shall cause the Company and the Company’s officers, directors and employees to provide reasonable and customary cooperation to Seller and Seller’s independent public accounting firm and third parties advisors, including providing reasonable access during normal business hours to the financial information of the Company, in connection with the preparation, review and audit of Seller’s consolidated financial statements for Seller’s 2018 fiscal year, and as applicable, any portion of Seller’s 2019 fiscal year, provided, that such access will give due regard to minimizing interference with the operations, activities and employees of the Company.

(b)Parent shall cause the Company to provide reasonable access to Seller and Seller’s counsel to any Company employees that might be reasonably be requested in connection with any litigation involving Seller or any of its Affiliates related to the Company’s pre-Closing activities, excluding any litigation involving this Agreement or the Transaction.

(c)In the event the Specified Amount is paid by the Company in accordance with the Specified Agreement, Seller shall promptly following its receipt of written notice from the Company of the Company’s payment thereof (and in no event more than ten Business Days following such receipt) reimburse the Company by wire payment of the Specified Amount plus the employer portion of any Taxes relating thereto as specified in such notice. The Company shall not pay the Specified Amount unless the individual identified on Schedule 1.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule has executed a release of claims against the Seller and its affiliates in such form as Seller may prescribe.

ARTICLE 8

TAX MATTERS

Section 8.1    Purchase Price Allocation. The Parties agree, because the Company will be an entity that is disregarded as separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of the Closing, that the purchase and sale of the Interests hereunder will be treated as a purchase of the assets of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Exhibit D describes the principles that will be utilized to allocate the amounts paid and the liabilities assumed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, adjusted as necessary to determine the Seller’s amount realized and Purchaser’s cost of the purchased assets hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes (which amount shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit D), among the Company’s assets in accordance with the general principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations pursuant thereto or any successor provision and includes an example (based on the numbers set forth in the Interim Financial Statements, as appropriately adjusted for tax purposes) illustrating how these principles are to be applied. Within 30 days after the adjustments to the Estimated Closing Purchase Price have been finalized in accordance with Section 2.6, the Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a Form 8594 with an allocation that is consistent with the principles of Exhibit D and the example set forth therein (the “Proposed Allocation”). If Seller does not deliver a written objection to the Proposed Allocation (which objection may only be raised to the extent the allocation is inconsistent with the principles of Exhibit D and the example set forth therein) setting forth the items of disagreement within 30 days of receipt of the Proposed Allocation, it will deemed to be accepted by Seller and will be the final allocation (the “Final Allocation”). If no agreement is reached within 30 days, the items of dispute shall be referred to the Settlement Accountants for resolution. The Settlement Accountants will address only the items of dispute and are required to resolve such items in a manner that is consistent with the principles of Exhibit D and the example

-63-

set forth therein. Procedures and terms of engagement for this purpose will be the same as set forth in Section 2.6 of this Agreement. The resolution provided by the Settlement Accountant shall be deemed final by all parties, and shall be the Final Allocation. None of the Parties will take a position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Final Allocation, and the Parties shall file all Tax Returns and forms (including Form 8594 and comparable forms under other Tax law) consistently with the Final Allocation, except as required by a final determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code) or any comparable concept under applicable state or local law. For the avoidance of doubt, the consistency requirement of the preceding sentence does not extend to taking positions in connection with any audit or other proceeding conducted by, or any litigation with, any Tax Authority, so that in the event a Tax Authority raises any issues with respect to the Final Allocation each Party may take any position and settle or otherwise compromise any such audit, other proceeding or litigation in its discretion whether or not consistent with the Final Allocation.

Section 8.2.    Preparation of Tax Returns.

(a)Following the Closing, Purchaser shall cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company (as defined after the Reorganization) after the Closing Date that relate to any taxable period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date (each such period a “Straddle Period” and each such Tax Return a “Straddle Period Tax Return”). No later than five Business Days prior to the due date of any Straddle Period Tax Return, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of Taxes that are shown as due on the Straddle Period Tax Return and are attributable to the portion of the applicable Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, except to the extent that all or a portion of the amount of such Taxes is included in Indebtedness in a manner that results in a reduction in the Closing Purchase Price. Straddle Period Tax Returns shall be submitted (with copies of any relevant schedules, work papers and other documentation then available) to Seller for Seller’s review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) not less than fifteen days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return, or, for any Straddle Period Tax Return due to be filed within 15 days after the Closing Date, as soon as practicable after Closing.

(b)The Parties agree that the Tax Returns referenced in Section 8.2(a) do not include any Tax Returns of the Company that are filed on a consolidated, affiliated or similar group basis with Seller or other subsidiaries of Seller. Seller shall cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, as a corporation for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes before the Reorganization and as a limited liability company after the Reorganization) after the Closing Date that relate to any Pre-Closing Period. Seller shall be responsible for paying all Taxes that are shown or required to be shown as due on any such Tax Return.

(c)The Parties agree that if there are state and local income Tax Returns to be filed by the Company (prior to the Reorganization) after Closing that relate to a Pre-Closing Period, Seller shall prepare and file such Tax Returns, and pay any Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns.

-64-

(d)Except as otherwise required by applicable Regulations, Purchaser shall not, nor shall it permit or cause any of its Affiliates or the Company, to (i) amend, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election of the Company for any period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) file any Tax Return of the Company for any period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date in a jurisdiction in which the Company did not previously file Tax Returns, (iii) voluntarily initiate any contact with any Tax Authority with respect to any Tax periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, or (iv) make any election that has effect to a Tax period that includes the Closing Date or any date prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.2(d) shall not be applicable to any action taken by Purchaser or the Company in connection with any Tax proceeding for which Seller fails to assume control as permitted by Section 8.6.

(e)Each Seller Party (and its Affiliates) covenant and agree not to make any election to (or take any other action that would) cause the Company (following the Reorganization) to be classified as anything other than an entity that is disregarded as separate from Holdco for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes at the time of the Closing.

Section 8.3.    Cooperation. In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audit examinations, and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Tax liabilities imposed on the Company for all taxable periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date, Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall, and shall each cause their Affiliates to, cooperate with each other, as and to the extent reasonably requested, including through the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, or other materials necessary or helpful.

Section 8.4.    Certain Taxes. All transfer (including real property transfer), documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Transaction (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) will be paid 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Seller when due, and all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes will be prepared and filed by Purchaser unless Seller is required to file such Tax Returns under applicable Regulations.

Section 8.5.    Pre-Closing Tax Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except to the extent that Taxes are taken into account in determining Indebtedness or have been included in Current Liabilities, the Seller Indemnifying Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for and shall pay, and agree to indemnify and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) harmless from and against (a) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company for all Pre-Closing Periods and the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and any Losses associated with such Taxes (or the non-payment thereof), (b) all Taxes and Losses on account of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.21 and (c) any Transfer Taxes that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to Section 8.4. Payment by Seller of any amount due under this Section 8.5 shall be made within 15 days following written notice from Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller Indemnifying Parties’ indemnification obligations under this Section 8.5 shall not be subject to any of the limits on indemnification set forth in Article 10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated elsewhere in this Agreement, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.21 and the indemnification obligations set

-65-

forth in this Section 8.5 shall survive until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for the Taxes at issue.

Section 8.6.    Tax Proceedings. To the extent that either Seller Party may be responsible under Section 8.5 for a Tax with respect to a Pre-Closing Period, Seller shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to control the prosecution, settlement or compromise of any proceeding involving such Tax; provided, that to the extent that any such proceeding could reasonably be expected to have an adverse post-Closing impact on Parent, Purchaser or the Company (or any of their respective Affiliates), (a) Purchaser shall be entitled to participate in any such proceeding at its sole cost and expense and (b) Seller shall not settle or otherwise compromise any such proceeding without Purchaser’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall have the sole right to control the audit, prosecution, settlement or compromise of any Tax proceedings related to Taxes filed as part of a consolidated, affiliated or similar group basis with Seller, or other Subsidiaries of Seller.

Section 8.7.    Pre-Closing Reorganization. The Parties agree that the Reorganization is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. None of the Parties or their respective Affiliates will take a position on any Tax Return or in any proceeding inconsistent with such tax treatment.

ARTICLE 9

TERMINATION; WAIVER

Section 9.1.    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transaction may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)by mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller at any time prior to the Closing;

(b)by Purchaser or Seller (by written notice to the other Party) if (i) any Governmental Body shall have issued a Court Order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transaction and such Court Order is or shall have become non-appealable or (ii) the Transaction has not been consummated by March 21, 2019 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that no Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (ii) if such Party’s failure to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement shall have been the reason that the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date;

(c)by Seller (by written notice to Purchaser) if (i) there shall have been a breach of any representation or warranty of Parent or Purchaser in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(b) are incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date or (ii) there shall have been a breach by Parent or Purchaser of any of their covenants or agreements in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 7.2(c) is incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date, and Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, has not cured such breach within the earlier of 20 Business Days after receipt by Purchaser of written notice from Seller or the Company thereof or the Outside Date; provided, that neither the Company nor any Seller Party has materially breached any of its material obligations hereunder; or

-66-

(d)by Purchaser (by written notice to the Company) if (i) there shall have been a breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or a Seller Party in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(b) are incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date or (ii) there shall have been a breach by the Company or a Seller Party of any of their covenants or agreements in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 7.3(c) is incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date, and the Company or the relevant Seller Party, as the case may be, has not cured such breach within the earlier of 20 Business Days after receipt by the Company or a Seller Party of written notice from Purchaser thereof or the Outside Date; provided, that neither Purchaser nor Parent has materially breached any of its material obligations hereunder.

(e)by Purchaser or Seller (by written notice to the other Party) if (i) all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 were satisfied or waived as of the date the Closing should have been consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing and could have been satisfied or would have been waived assuming a Closing would occur), (ii) Seller has confirmed to Purchaser in writing that (A) all of the conditions to the Seller Parties’ and the Company’s obligations to consummate the Closing have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing and could have been satisfied or would have been waived assuming a Closing would occur) and, in the case of termination by Purchaser under this Section 7.1(e), Purchaser and Parent have not materially breached any of their material obligations hereunder, and (B) the Seller Parties are ready, willing and able to cause the Closing to occur and (iii) Purchaser fails to complete the Closing within two Business Days after the later of (A) delivery of the confirmation by the Seller Parties required by clause (ii) above and (B) the date by which the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3(a); or

(f)by Purchaser, if between the Agreement Date and the Closing, an event, change, circumstance, occurrence, result, state of facts or condition occurs that has had a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.2.    Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement or the abandonment of the Transaction pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any Party or its Affiliates, directors, officers or stockholders, other than (a) for the provisions of Section 3.17, Section 4.6 and Section 5.5 relating to broker’s fees and finder’s fees, Section 6.2(e) relating to confidentiality, Section 11.7 relating to public announcements, Section 9.3 relating to the Reverse Termination Fee, Section 11.5 relating to notices, Section 11.6 relating to governing law and submission to jurisdiction and this Section 9.2 and (b) liability of a Party, as the case may be, for Fraud or Material Breach (as defined below) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement occurring prior to such termination, subject in the case of Purchaser to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3 relating to the Reverse Termination Fee, Section 11.6 relating to submission to jurisdiction and Section 11.10 relating to personal liability. The provisions of Section 9.2, Article 11 and all applicable definitions set forth in Section 1.1 and Section 1.2 and the interpretations provisions of Section 1.3 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the Parties under the Non-Disclosure Agreement, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. As used herein, the term “Material Breach” means a deliberate act or a deliberate failure to act, which act or failure to act constitutes a material breach of this Agreement, with the knowledge

-67-

that the act or failure to act constitutes a breach. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of termination of this Agreement, the Financing Source Parties will have no liability to the Seller Parties, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or any of its or their direct or indirect stockholders hereunder or under the Debt Financing Commitment or otherwise relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by such agreements (including for any willful and material breach); provided that the foregoing shall not preclude any liability of the Financing Source Parties to Purchaser under the terms of the Debt Financing Commitment (and the related fee letters) or the Debt Financing.

Section 9.3.    Reverse Termination Fee; Limitation on Liability.

(a)Solely in the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(e), Parent shall pay, or cause Purchaser to pay, to Seller a fee in the amount of $25,000,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”). Payment of the Reverse Termination Fee shall be made as promptly as reasonably practicable after termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(e) (and, in any event, within five Business Days thereof) by wire transfer of same-day funds to the account designated by Seller to Parent in writing. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Parent be required to pay, or cause Purchaser to pay, the Reverse Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(b)In the event that the Reverse Termination Fee becomes payable pursuant to Section 9.3(a), the receipt by Seller of the Reverse Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages and the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller Parties, the Company and any other Person (other than Purchaser) against Purchaser and Parent and their respective former, current and future equityholders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, management companies, members, stockholders, Affiliates or assignees and any and all former, current and future equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, management companies, members, stockholders, Affiliates or assignees of any of the foregoing, and any and all former, current and future heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (each of the foregoing, a “Purchaser Related Party,” and collectively, the “Purchaser Related Parties”), and no Purchaser Related Party shall have any other liability or obligation (other than to Purchaser) for any Losses suffered or incurred by any Seller Party, the Company or any other Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement (and the termination hereof) or the Debt Financing Commitment or the Transaction (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, including any breach of this Agreement or the Debt Financing Commitments (including any willful and material breach), and none of the Seller Parties, the Company or any other Person (other than Purchaser) shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other Action against Purchaser or any other Purchaser Related Party arising out of this Agreement or any Debt Financing Commitment, or any of the Transaction or any matters forming the basis for such termination, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort, or otherwise.

-68-

(c)Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) the agreements contained in Section 9.3(b) are an integral part of the this Agreement and the Transaction and (ii) in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages with respect to the foregoing, upon any such termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(e), the right to such payment constitutes a reasonable estimate of the Losses that will be suffered by reason of any such termination of this Agreement and constitutes liquidated damages (and not a penalty).

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and without limiting Seller’s right in respect of specific performance pursuant to Section 11.12 and any rights under the Non-Disclosure Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant Section 9.1(e) and the Reverse Termination Fee is paid to Seller, then the maximum aggregate liability of Purchaser and any other Purchaser Related Party under this Agreement or relating to the Transaction shall be limited to an amount equal to the Reverse Termination Fee, and in no event shall any Seller Party, the Company or any other Person seek to recover any money damages (including consequential, indirect or punitive damages) in excess of such amount. So long as this Agreement shall not have been terminated, the Seller Parties shall be entitled to pursue both a grant of specific performance under Section 11.12 and the payment of the Reverse Termination Fee under Section 9.3(a), but under no circumstances shall the Seller Parties be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance under Section 11.12 and an award of money damages, including all or any portion of the Reverse Termination Fee.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Financing Source Party shall have any liability or obligation to any Seller Party, the Company, any of its or their Affiliates or any of its or their direct or indirect stockholders relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Debt Financing Commitment or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to be have been made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and no Seller Party or the Company shall seek to, and shall cause its and their Affiliates and its and their direct and indirect stockholders not to seek to, recover any money damages (including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, or damages on account of a willful and material breach) or obtain any equitable relief from or with respect to any Financing Source Party.

(i) The Parent Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of six years after the Closing Date, (ii) the Company’s and Seller Parties’ representations and warranties contained in Section 3.4 and Section 4.5 shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of 20 years after the Closing Date, (iii) the Company Fundamental Representations (other than those contained in Section 3.4 and Section 4.5) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of six years after the Closing Date, (iv) the Seller Parties’ and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.21 relating to tax matters shall survive the Closing until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (v) any claim involving Fraud shall survive for a period of 20 years after the Closing Date, except in each case

-69-

that any written claim for breach thereof made in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) prior to such expiration date and delivered to the Party against whom indemnification is sought shall survive until finally resolved thereafter and, as to any such claim, such applicable expiration will not affect the rights to indemnification of the Party making such claim. The representations and warranties of the Parties, other than (a) the Company Fundamental Representations, (b) the Parent Fundamental Representations, (c) the Seller Parties’ and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.21 relating to tax matters, or (d) claims involving Fraud, shall not survive the Closing. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the time periods set forth in this Section 10.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’ length negotiation among the Parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the Parties. Other than (w) the Parent Fundamental Representations, (x) the Company Fundamental Representations, (y) the Seller Parties’ and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.21 relating to tax matters and (z) claims involving Fraud, which shall survive the Closing, as and to the extent provided in this Section 10.1 above, no other representations and warranties of any of the Parties in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and all of such other representations and warranties shall expire at the Closing.

Section 10.2.    Indemnification Provisions for Parent’s Benefit. Subject to the limitations set forth in Article 10 or Article 8, each Seller Party, on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors, executors, administrators, estate, heirs and assigns (collectively, for the purposes of this Section 10.2, the “Seller Indemnifying Parties,” and each individually, a “Seller Indemnifying Party”) shall jointly and severally save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, Parent, and each of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, Affiliates, direct and indirect partners, equityholders, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) from and against and shall compensate and reimburse any Losses of the Parent Indemnified Parties as required by Article 8 or on account of (i) any breach by the Company or any Seller Party of the Company Fundamental Representations, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company or any Seller Party contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, (iii) any Excluded Liabilities or any Losses arising from the transfers, distributions or assignments of the Excluded Assets and the Excluded Liabilities in accordance with Section 6.14 and (iv) all Losses with respect to each of the four matters (and only those four matters) set forth on Section 3.7 of the Disclosure Schedules under the caption “Covered Matters.” Other than as provided in this Section 10.2 and except in the case of Fraud, no indemnification shall be due or payable by the Seller Indemnifying Parties, and no claim will be made against them, with respect to Losses incurred in connection with a breach of representations and warranties, and recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Parent Indemnified Parties and the provisions set forth in this clause will apply even if the R&W Insurance Policy is never issued by an insurer, the R&W Insurance Policy is revoked, cancelled or modified in any manner after issuance, or the Parent Indemnified Parties make a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy and such claim is denied by the R&W insurer. None of the indemnification limitations set forth in this Section 10.2 shall limit Parent’s rights, remedies or recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy.

-70-

Section 10.3.    Indemnification Provisions for the Seller Parties’ Benefit. Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, from and after the Closing, Parent and Purchaser jointly and severally agree to save, defend, indemnify and hold the Seller Parties and their respective employees, directors, managers, officers, direct and indirect partners or equityholders, representatives, affiliates, successors and assigns (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any Losses sustained or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties to the extent caused by or arising out of, or by reason of (i) any breach by Parent or Purchaser of the Parent Fundamental Representations; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement by Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document; (iii) any claims of any landlord or sub-landlord under any Real Property Leases for actions or inactions taken by Purchaser, Parent or the Company after the Closing and (iv) any Losses that arise as a direct result of the Reorganization and that would not have arisen had the Reorganization not occurred and Seller had sold Purchaser the Shares; provided, that the indemnity under this clause (iv) (A) shall not include any Losses that result from (1) the breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3.21 or (2) a breach by either Seller Party (or its Affiliates) of any covenant under Article VIII and (B) with respect to Taxes, shall only include Taxes (of the Seller Parties and their Affiliates) to the extent the amount of such Taxes exceeds the amount of Taxes that would have been incurred by Seller and its Affiliates if the Reorganization had not occurred, Seller had sold the Shares to the Purchaser, and a valid and timely election pursuant to Section 336(e) of the Code (and any corresponding provision under state, local or foreign law) had been made in connection with the sale of the Shares. Notwithstanding anything provided in this Agreement to the contrary, no indemnification shall be payable by Parent and Purchaser pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence of this Section 10.3 with respect to any claim asserted by a Seller Indemnified Party on account of any breach by Parent or Purchaser of the representations and warranties contained in Article 5 after the expiration of the applicable survival period prescribed for such representation and warranty in Section 10.1 (except that any written claim made in good faith with reasonable specificity, to the extent known at such time, prior to such expiration date and delivered to Parent shall survive thereafter until finally resolved and, as to any such claim, such applicable expiration will not affect the rights to indemnification of Seller Indemnified Parties). For the avoidance of doubt, the survival period in Section 10.1 shall not apply to or limit right of Seller Indemnified Parties to be indemnified and held harmless on account of claims specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 10.3.

Section 10.4.    Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Seller Parties and Parent agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article 10 as an adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price for all Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Parent and Seller on their Tax Returns to the greatest extent permitted by applicable Regulations.

Section 10.5.    Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a)If any third party notifies any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (including for the avoidance of doubt the matters set forth on Section 3.7 of the Disclosure Schedules) (a “Third-Party Claim”) that gives rise to a claim for indemnification against another Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article 10, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen Business Days after receiving notice of the Third Party Claim) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing (a “Notice”); provided, however, that failure to give such Notice within such fifteen-Business Day period or otherwise shall not limit the right of an Indemnified Party to recover hereunder from any Indemnifying Party except to the extent

-71-

that such Indemnifying Party suffers any material prejudice or material harm with respect to such claim as a result of such failure except and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss or actual prejudice (and in any event, solely to the extent of such loss or prejudice) as a result of such failure.

(b)As between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, in the case of any Third-Party Claims for which indemnification is sought, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled at its cost and expense to (i) conduct and control any proceedings or negotiations with such third party, (ii) perform and control or direct the performance of any required activities, (iii) take all other steps to settle or defend any such claim (provided that the Indemnified Party is given the opportunity to reasonably participate in such defense and the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless the settlement includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party with respect to the claim and no additional obligation, restriction or Losses shall be imposed on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder), and (iv) employ counsel to contest any such claim or liability; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense, if the claim for which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control: (A) seeks non-monetary, equitable or injunctive relief, (B) involves criminal allegations, proceedings, indictments or investigations, (C) involves an actual conflict of interest with respect to the Indemnified Party, or (D) involves a claim for which, upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend. The Indemnifying Party shall, within 30 days after delivery of the Notice to the Indemnifying Party (or sooner, if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires) (the “Dispute Period”), notify the Indemnified Party of its intention as to the conduct and control of the defense of such claim, provided that the Indemnified Party and its counsel shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel. Until the Indemnified Party has received notice of the Indemnifying Party’s election whether to defend any claim, the Indemnified Party shall take reasonable steps to defend (but may not settle) such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof. Once the Indemnifying Party has made such election, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in (but not control) any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing at such Indemnified Party’s expense. If the Indemnifying Party shall decline to assume the defense of any such claim, or the Indemnifying Party shall fail to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period of the Indemnifying Party’s election to defend such claim, the Indemnified Party shall defend against such claim (provided that the Indemnified Party shall not settle such claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer as a result of such Third-Party Claim to the extent subject to indemnification under this Article 10.

(c)In the event of any conflict between this Section 10.5 and Article 8, Article 8 shall govern.

-72-

Section 10.6.    Direct Claims. Any indemnification claim by an Indemnified Party which does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party by giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. Such written notice shall summarize the basis for the indemnification claim based on the information reasonably available at that time to the Indemnified Party. The failure to give written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, unless, and then solely to the extent that, the rights of the parties from whom indemnity is sought are materially prejudiced as a result of such failure; provided, however, that no such notice shall have any effect or be valid if it is given following the end of any applicable survival period provided for in Section 10.1. The Indemnifying Party shall have 20 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 20-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay any amounts owed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 10.7.    Further Limitations and Qualifications.

(a)The remedies provided in Article 8 and this Article 10 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies available to any Party against any other Party with respect to any claim arising under this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection therewith and the facts and circumstances relating and pertaining hereto (whether any such claim shall be made in contract, breach of warranty, tort or otherwise), other than for claims involving Fraud or specific performance under Section 11.12.

(b)For purposes of both determining (i) the amount of Losses arising from a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Company or any Seller Party in this Agreement and (ii) whether any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation has been breached or is inaccurate, any limitations or qualifications as to dollar amount or materiality (or similar concept) set forth in such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation shall be disregarded.

Section 10.8.    Remedies Not Affected by Inspection, Disclosure or Knowledge. If the Transaction is consummated, (subject to the limitations on survival as provided in Section 10.1), Purchaser and Parent expressly reserve the right to seek indemnity or any other remedies for any Losses arising out of or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, notwithstanding any investigation by, disclosure to, knowledge or imputed knowledge of Purchaser, Parent or any of their respective Representatives in respect of any fact or circumstance that reveals the occurrence of any such breach, whether before or after the execution and delivery hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Seller Party agrees that as knowledge or lack of reliance shall not be a defense in law or equity to any claim of breach of representation, warranty or covenant by a Seller Party herein, each Seller Party shall not in any proceeding concerning a breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant herein, or any indemnity thereof, seek information concerning knowledge or reliance of Purchaser or Parent or any of their respective Representatives, through deposition, discovery or otherwise, or seek to introduce evidence or argue in any proceeding regarding the knowledge or lack of reliance of Purchaser, Parent or any of their respective Representatives prior to the Closing on or with respect to any such representations, warranties or covenants.

-73-

Section 10.9.    Acknowledgements; and Release. Parent and Purchaser hereby acknowledge that, following the Closing, except for claims of Fraud and claims made pursuant to Section 8.5 or Section 10.2, the R&W Insurance Policy shall be the sole and exclusive source of recovery and remedy for any Losses sustained, suffered or incurred by Parent, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates resulting from any breach, misstatement, misrepresentation, inaccuracy or omission by any Seller Party or the Company of their respective representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection with this Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, except for claims of Fraud and claims arising under this Agreement, each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and each of its current and former officers, directors, employees, partners, members, advisors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges each Seller Party and each of its respective Affiliates and each of their respective current and former officers, directors, employees, partners, managers, members, advisors, attorneys, financial advisors, lenders, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) of and from any and all Actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, executions, judgments, duties, debts, dues, accounts, bonds, contracts and covenants (whether express or implied), and claims and demands whatsoever whether in law or in equity which the Releasing Parties may have against each of the Released Parties, now or in the future, in each case in respect of any cause, matter or thing relating to Seller’s ownership of the Company occurring or arising on or prior to the Closing Date.

-77-

identified as Parties in the preamble to this Agreement (the “Contracting Parties”). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender (including any Financing Sources) to, any Contracting Party, or any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender (including any Financing Source) to, any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach, and, to the maximum extent permitted by Regulations, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Regulations, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise; and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.

Section 11.11.    Expenses. Except as set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction, including all legal, accounting, investment banking and other expenses incurred by it or on its behalf, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

Section 11.12.    Specific Performance.

(a)The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that any breach of this Agreement would not be adequately compensated by monetary damages. Subject to Section 9.3(d) and Section 11.12(b), the Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by either Seller Party or the Company, on the one hand, or Purchaser or Parent, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Seller Parties and the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by another party (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other parties under this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or inadequacy of legal remedy and without bond or other security being required. The pursuit of specific enforcement by any party hereto will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy (whether at law or in equity) to which such party may be entitled at any time.

-78-

(b)Subject to Section 9.3(d), it is acknowledged and agreed that the Seller Parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance against Parent and Purchaser of the obligation of Parent and Purchaser to cause the Closing Purchase Price to be funded in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only in the event that each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions assuming a Closing would occur); (ii) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the remainder of the Estimated Closing Purchase Price is funded at the Closing; (iii) Purchaser and Parent fail to complete the Closing pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.3; and (iv) each Seller Party has confirmed in writing to Parent that if specific performance is granted and the Debt Financing is funded, and Purchaser and Parent otherwise comply with their respective obligations hereunder, then the Closing will occur. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall either Seller Party be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Parent’s obligation to cause the Estimated Closing Purchase Price to be funded at the Closing or to consummate the Transaction if the Debt Financing has not been funded (or will not be funded at the Closing if the remainder of the Estimated Closing Purchase Price were funded at the Closing).

(c)Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise at any time of any other remedy. Subject to Section 11.12(b) and Section 9.3(d), Seller and Company, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by a Party, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement. Subject to Section 11.12(b) and Section 9.3(d), the Parties further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 11.12, a Party shall not in any respect be deemed to have waived its right to seek at any time any other form of relief that may be available to such Party under this Agreement (including monetary damages) in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 11.12 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 11.12 shall require a Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit a Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 11.2 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 9 (and pursuing monetary damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 11.12 or anything set forth in this Section 11.2 restrict or limit a Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 9.

Section 11.13.    Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 11.14.    Company Disclosure Schedule. The representations and warranties contained in Article 3 and Article 4 are qualified by reference to the Company Disclosure Schedule. The Parties agree that the Company Disclosure Schedule is not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations or warranties of the Company or the Seller Parties, as applicable, except as and to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement. Parent and Purchaser acknowledge that the Company Disclosure Schedule may include items or information which the Company or the Seller Parties are not required to disclose under this Agreement. Inclusion of information in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that such information is material to the Company or the Seller Parties.
