(a) $195,000,000.00 (One Hundred Ninety-Five Million Dollars) (the “Purchase Price”), subject to

(b) the adjustments to the purchase price as provided in Sections 3.3 and 3.4.

3.2 Payment of Purchase Price. At the Closing,

(a) Each of Xxxxxxxxx 0, Xxxxxxxxx 2 and Purchaser 3 shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller, an amount equal to the portion of the Adjusted Purchase Price (as defined below) allocable to the Company Group Securities (as set forth in the allocation agreed to under Section 3.5 below) to be purchased by such Purchaser, which amount shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by Seller,

(b) Purchaser 3 shall deliver to Seller the Holdco Note,

(c) Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser a receipt for the Adjusted Purchase Price, duly executed by Seller, and

(d) Purchaser 1 shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses in such amounts and to such accounts as specified by Seller by written notice given to Purchaser no less than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the case of Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses, if any, owed to employees of any Company Group Entity at Closing, Purchaser 1 shall pay, or cause to be paid, such amounts to the applicable Seller Group Member upon the Closing and Seller shall cause the applicable Seller Group Member to pay such amounts (less applicable withholding and any Taxes required to be paid by the applicable Seller Group Member with respect thereto) to the applicable employees promptly following the Closing.

To the extent requested by Purchaser, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to make available to Purchaser as of the Closing the Estimated Cash for use by Purchaser to fund the payments contemplated in this Section 3.2.

3.3 Closing Statement. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement Delivery Date”), Seller shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser a written statement that is duly executed by an authorized officer of Seller (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the following, together with reasonable supporting documentation for such estimates:

(a) Working Capital Adjustment Amount (“Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Amount”);

(b) the Cash Amount as of the Effective Time (“Estimated Cash”);

(d) Seller Transaction Expenses as of the Effective Time (“Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses”); and

(e) the corresponding Adjusted Purchase Price to be paid at the Closing (which, subject to Section 3.4, shall conclusively constitute the adjusted purchase price at the Closing, absent manifest error).

The preparation of the Closing Statement shall be for the purpose of determining the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the amounts for Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness and Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses, and the Adjusted Purchase Price to be paid at the Closing. Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller in the event that it disputes any aspect of the Closing Statement or the calculations therein, and prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such dispute (or any aspect thereof) and any resolution so mutually agreed in writing by Purchaser and Seller prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed to modify the Closing Statement for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be obligated to agree to any proposed resolution and (ii) no dispute or negotiations related to the Closing Statement shall delay or condition the occurrence of the Closing or the payment to Seller of the amounts set forth in the Closing Statement.

3.4 Final Closing Statement; Adjustments and Payments.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the following, together with reasonable supporting documentation for such calculations:

(i) the Working Capital Adjustment Amount (“Final Working Capital Adjustment Amount”);

(ii) the Cash Amount as of the Effective Time (“Final Cash”);

(iii) Indebtedness of the Company Group as of the Effective Time (“Final Indebtedness”); and

(iv) Seller Transaction Expenses as of the Effective Time (“Final Seller Transaction Expenses” and together with the calculations of the items in clauses (i)-(iii) and of the Final Adjusted Purchase Price, collectively, the “Final Closing Calculations”).

The preparation of the Final Closing Statement shall be for the purpose of determining the Final Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the amounts for Final Cash, Final Indebtedness and Final Seller Transaction Expenses, and the Final Adjusted Purchase Price.

(b) During the 45-day period following Seller’s receipt of the Final Closing Statement, Seller and its accountants and other Representatives will be permitted reasonable access to review the books and records and other information of Purchaser and the Company Group used in the preparation of the Final Closing Statement during regular business hours and shall be entitled to reasonable access to the personnel in its employ responsible for preparing the information used in, and the preparation of, the Final Closing Statement to respond to the reasonable inquiries of, or request for information by, Seller its accountants and other Representatives; provided that such review and evaluation will only be upon reasonable notice, will not unreasonably disrupt personnel and operations of either Purchaser or the Company Group and will be at Seller’s sole cost and expense and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to make available any information or materials if doing so would violate attorney-client privilege, non-disclosure obligations with third parties or applicable Law (and in such circumstance of non-disclosure obligations with third parties, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain removal of such non-disclosure limitations from such third parties).

(c) If Seller disagrees with the Final Closing Calculations set forth in the Final Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(a), Seller may, within 45 days after receipt of the Final Closing Statement, deliver a written notice to Purchaser disagreeing with such Final Closing Calculations and setting forth Seller’s calculations included in the Final Closing Calculations. If Seller fails to deliver such a notice of disagreement within such 45-day period, the Final Closing Statement and the amounts set forth therein shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller and shall be final and binding upon all of the Parties to this Agreement for all purposes hereof. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail those calculations, items and amounts as to which Seller disagrees (including its calculation of the amounts in dispute), and Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other calculations, items and amounts contained in the Final Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(a).

(d) If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(c), Seller and Purchaser shall, during the 15 days after such delivery (or such additional period as may be mutually agreed to by the Seller and Purchaser), use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed calculations, items and amounts included in the Final Closing Calculations in order to determine, as may be

required, the Final Adjusted Purchase Price, including the Final Working Capital Adjustment Amount, which amount shall not be less than the amount thereof shown in Purchaser’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(a) nor more than the amount thereof shown in Seller’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(c). If during such period, Seller and Purchaser are unable to reach agreement as to all of the disputed items or amounts, they shall promptly thereafter appoint Deloitte, or if Deloitte is unable or unwilling to act, another internationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser (the “Accounting Referee”) to review this Agreement and the disputed calculations, items and amounts for the purpose of calculating the Final Closing Calculations. Purchaser and Seller shall execute any agreement reasonably required by the Accounting Referee for its engagement hereunder. In making such calculations, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those calculations, items or amounts in the Final Closing Statement and Purchaser’s calculations of the Final Closing Calculations as to which Seller has disagreed (and which have not been subsequently resolved in writing by Seller and Purchaser), and the Accounting Referee’s calculation of both individual line items and the aggregate Final Adjusted Purchase Price must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Final Closing Statement delivered by Purchaser and the notice of disagreement delivered by Seller, respectively. Seller and Purchaser shall instruct the Accounting Referee to deliver to Seller and Purchaser, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than 45 days from the date of engagement of the Accounting Referee, unless the Seller and Purchaser mutually agree to a later date), a report setting forth such calculations; provided, however, that in no event will any of the disputed items or amounts determined by the Accounting Referee be:

(i) less than Purchaser’s calculation thereof in the Final Closing Statement where a lower amount would benefit Purchaser;

(ii) more than Seller’s calculation thereof in their notice of disagreement delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(c) where a higher amount would benefit Seller;

(iii) more than Purchaser’s calculation thereof in the Final Closing Statement where a higher amount would benefit Purchaser; or

(iv) less than Seller’s calculation thereof in their notice of disagreement delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(c) where a lower amount would benefit Seller.

Such report shall be final and binding upon Seller and Purchaser, absent mathematical error by the Accounting Referee or fraud. The Parties agree that the Accounting Referee’s report shall constitute an arbitral award and may be enforced as an arbitral award. The Parties will provide the Accounting Referee with all documents requested by it as soon as reasonably practicable. The Accounting Referee will be instructed to grant the Parties the opportunity to state their points of view, and, upon request by a Party, the Accounting Referee will conduct a hearing on any disputed items or amounts as to which Seller and Purchaser have not reached written agreement. All submissions by Seller or Purchaser to the Accounting Referee will be in

writing and will be delivered simultaneously to the other Party, and there will be no ex parte communication with the Accounting Referee. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee will be borne in the same proportion as the aggregate dollar amount of the unresolved matters that are submitted to the Accounting Referee pursuant to this Section 3.4(d) that are unsuccessfully disputed by each Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Referee) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all of the unresolved matters that are submitted to the Accounting Referee.

(e) Subject to the limitations in Section 3.4(b), Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Final Closing Statement and the calculation of the Final Closing Calculations and in the conduct of the review and dispute resolution process provided for in this Section 3.4; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or the Representatives of Purchaser or any of their Affiliates, will be entitled to review the Tax Returns of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller for any purpose; provided, further that such review and evaluation will only be upon reasonable notice and in compliance with all applicable Laws, will not unreasonably disrupt personnel and operations of Seller, Purchaser or the Company Group, as applicable, and will be at the requesting party’s sole cost and expense.

(f) If the Final Adjusted Purchase Price exceeds the Adjusted Purchase Price, Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller the amount of such excess. If the Adjusted Purchase Price exceeds the Final Adjusted Purchase Price, Seller shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, to Purchaser the amount of such excess. All payments made pursuant to this Section 3.4(f) shall be made within five Business Days after the Final Closing Calculations have been finally determined, and each payment shall be made by wire transfer by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, of immediately available funds to the account of such other Party as may be designated in writing by such other Party.

(g) The process set forth in this Section 3.4 will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties and their respective Affiliates for any disputes related to the Final Closing Calculations and the calculations and amounts on which they are based or set forth in the related statements and notices delivered in connection therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculations to be made pursuant to this Section 3.4 are not intended to be used to adjust for errors or omissions that may be found with respect to the Financial Records, or any inconsistencies between the Financial Records or the Agreed Accounting Principles, on the one hand, and any other accounting standards, guidelines, principles or practices, on the other hand. After the final determination of the Final Closing Calculations pursuant to this Section 3.4, none of the Parties will have the right to make any claim pursuant to this Section 3.4 based upon the calculation of such amounts as of the Closing (even if subsequent events or subsequently discovered facts would have affected the determination of such amounts had such subsequent events or subsequently discovered facts been known at the time of the final determination of such amounts pursuant to this Section 3.4); provided this Section 3.4(g) shall in no way affect the rights of any Party under Section 7.13 or Section 7.19.

3.5 Purchase Price Allocation. The Parties hereto agree to allocate the Purchase Price among the Company Group Securities in accordance with Schedule 3.5, which allocation shall be used for all Tax purposes among the Company Group Securities. No later than thirty (30) Business Days following the determination of the Final Adjusted Purchase Price, Purchaser shall allocate the Final Adjusted Purchase Price, the Holdco Note and any assumed liabilities (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), among the tangible and intangible assets of each Company Group Entities in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Tax Allocation”) and shall deliver a written statement to Seller describing such Tax Allocation (the “Tax Allocation Statement”). If Seller disagrees with any portion of the Tax Allocation Statement, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of such disagreement within thirty (30) days after delivery by Purchaser to Seller of the Tax Allocation Statement. If Seller notifies Purchaser of its disagreement with any portion of the Tax Allocation Statement, then Purchaser and Seller shall work in good faith to resolve such disagreement and after such resolution, the agreed upon Tax Allocation shall be considered final and each of Seller and Purchaser and each of their Affiliates shall use such Tax Allocation Statement for U.S. federal income Tax purposes. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve all disagreements within twenty (20) days of Seller first notifying Purchaser of its disagreement, then Purchaser and Seller may separately determine the allocation of the Final Adjusted Purchase Price for Tax purposes and use its own separate allocation in filing its own Tax Returns.

3.6 Withholding. The Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment made hereunder, such amounts as may be required or permitted to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or the ITA, or under any applicable provision of U.S. or Canadian federal, state, provincial, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, if possible, that at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date the Purchaser will (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Seller with written notice of its intention to withhold (including the basis for the withholding obligation) and (b) cooperate with Seller to the extent commercially reasonable in efforts to eliminate or reduce such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which the Purchaser made such deduction or withholding.

If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 4.2, this Agreement shall thereupon become null and void and of no further force and effect and each of the Parties shall be relieved of their duties and obligations arising under this Agreement after such termination and such termination shall be without Liability to Purchaser or Seller (other than the rights and obligations provided for in this Section 4.3 (Effect of Termination), Section 4.4 (Termination Fee), Section 7.6 (Confidentiality), Section 7.9 (Publicity), and ARTICLE X (Miscellaneous)); provided that, subject to Section 4.4(b), no such termination shall relieve any Party from Liability for any intentional fraud or Intentional Breach of this Agreement prior to such termination (except that the Purchaser and its Affiliates, their respective shareholders, partners, equityholders, employees, directors, officers, Representatives and Affiliates shall not be liable for any breach if the Termination Fee (and any costs which are due and payable to Seller under Section 4.4(b)) has been paid).

4.4 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated (i) by Seller in accordance with Section 4.2(e) or Section 4.2(f) or (ii) by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.2(a) at a time when Seller had the right to validly terminate this Agreement under Section 4.2(e) or Section 4.2(f), then, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller Parent, within five (5) Business Days following such termination, an amount in cash equal to $11,700,000.00 (Eleven Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars) (the “Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller Parent.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the Termination Fee is payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (i) Seller Parent’s right to receive the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 4.4(a) and the Enforcement Costs pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller and any other Person against Purchaser, the Debt Financing Sources, the Sponsor, their Affiliates and their respective Representatives (and, without limiting Section 10.10, no such Person shall have any other Liability for any or all Losses suffered or incurred by Seller or any other Person) relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any failure of the Closing to be consummated, and (ii) upon payment of Termination Fee (and the Enforcement Costs, if any), no such Person shall have any further Liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Limited Guarantee. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and any money damage, including all or any portion of the Termination Fee. If Purchaser fails to pay the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 4.4(a), and, in order to obtain such payment, Seller Parent commences a Legal Proceeding that results in a final, nonappealable judgment against Purchaser for the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 4.4(a), Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, in addition to the Termination Fee, to Seller Parent, Seller Parent’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Seller Parent in connection with such Legal Proceeding (the “Enforcement Costs”).

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 4.4 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not otherwise enter into this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) under no circumstances will the Seller or any of its Affiliates, indirectly and collectively, seek to recover, or be entitled to recover, any money damages or other Losses of any kind, character or description in excess of the Termination Fee (and the Enforcement Costs, if any), (ii) in no event shall Purchaser be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion and (iii) any payment of the Termination Fee, as applicable, described in this Section 4.4 is not a penalty but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Seller in the circumstances in which such fees are payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

Nothing in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign or transfer any Business Asset if an attempted assignment or transfer, without the consent of, or other action by, any third party would constitute a breach thereunder or adversely affect in any respect the rights of the Business thereunder (collectively, the “Non-Assignable Assets”) unless and until such consent or other action by such third party shall be given or taken. If any such Third Party Consent or authorization is not obtained prior to the Closing or there exists any Non-Assignable Asset, then Seller shall provide Purchaser a list of all such Third Party Consents or authorizations or Non-Assignable Assets no later than five (5) days prior to Closing and, pending receipt of all applicable Third Party Consents or authorizations, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in any lawful and reasonable arrangement reasonably requested by Purchaser under which Purchaser (or one of its Subsidiaries) shall obtain, to the extent practicable, the rights and benefits under the Non-Assignable Asset. Such reasonable arrangement may include the entering into of a transition service, subcontract, sublicense, sublease or other similar arrangement between Seller and Purchaser and/or their applicable Subsidiaries, provided each such arrangement shall provide that Purchaser (or the applicable Subsidiary of Purchaser) shall be responsible for all reasonable (the terms of any current Contract (or extension of the same) shall be deemed reasonable), documented costs and expenses incurred under the Non-Assignable Asset to the extent arising out of such arrangement. During the period from Closing until such Third Party Consents, or other consents or approvals required to assign and transfer the Non-Assignable Assets, are obtained (or, solely with respect to a Non-Assignable Asset under any Contract, until the expiration of the current term of such Contract to the extent the same is not renewed or extended by Seller (in Seller’s sole discretion)), Seller will use reasonable best efforts to (i) continue to seek to obtain any such consents or approvals and (ii) enforce the Non-Assignable Assets or other Contracts, assets or rights subject to such Third Party Consent subject to an arrangement described in the preceding sentence for the benefit of Purchaser and/or its applicable Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall not agree to any economic concessions (including any fee reduction nor waiver) in connection with obtaining any Third Party Consent without the written consent of Purchaser. Seller shall be responsible for making payments, incurring Liabilities and providing any financial accommodation to obtain any Third Party Consent. Once the Third Party Consents (or other consents or approvals) required to assign and transfer a Non-Assignable Asset is obtained, Seller shall or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, assign and transfer such asset to Purchaser (or one of its Subsidiaries) at no additional cost.

7.4 Regulatory Approvals.

(a) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall:

(i) have made all filings required of each of them or any of their respective Affiliates under the Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as of the date of this Agreement;

(b) Each of Purchaser and Seller may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other Party under this Section 7.4 as “antitrust counsel only.” Material so designated and the information contained therein shall be given only to the antitrust legal counsel of the other Party, and the other Party shall cause such antitrust counsel not to disclose such materials or information to any other Representatives of the other Party, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall promptly inform the other Party of any oral communication with, and provide copies of written communications with, any Governmental Body regarding any such filings or any such transaction. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall independently participate in any formal meeting with any Governmental Body in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry contemplated by this Section 7.4 without giving the other Party prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Body, the opportunity to attend and/or participate in such meeting. Subject to applicable Law, each of Purchaser and Seller will consult and cooperate with the other Party in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or

on behalf of either Party relating to proceedings under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws. Purchaser shall pay all filing fees in connection with all filings under the Antitrust Laws.

(c) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Body with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the Antitrust Laws. In connection therewith, if any Legal Proceeding is instituted challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as in violation of any Antitrust Law, each of Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to resolve, contest and resist any such Legal Proceeding; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to, and Seller shall not, without prior written approval of Purchaser, commence litigation with any Governmental Body or third-party or defend any judicial action challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to such transactions as promptly as possible after the execution of the Original SPA.

7.5 Efforts and Cooperation; Further Assurances.

(i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(A) take all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(B) cause the fulfillment as soon as reasonably practicable of all of the conditions to the obligations of the other Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii) reasonably cooperate with the other Party in connection with such efforts of the other Party; and

(iii) keep the other Party reasonably apprised of the status of the matters relating to the completion of the Transactions, including with respect to the satisfaction of the Closing conditions of the other Party.

(b) After the Closing, each Party will execute and deliver such documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby.

asset of the Company Group or any of its Affiliates, Seller shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, such payment or asset to the Company Group. If at any time after the Closing, the Company Group or any of its Affiliates receives a payment intended for Seller or any of its Affiliates, or otherwise possesses any asset of Seller or any of its Affiliates, Purchaser shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, such payment or asset to Seller.

7.6 Confidentiality.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges that the information provided to it in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are subject to the terms of the confidentiality and business evaluation agreement between AEA Investors SBF LP and PJC on behalf of Seller dated July 24, 2019 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and its Affiliates may share confidential information regarding the Business with the Debt Financing Sources identified in the Debt Commitment Letter, subject to the confidentiality provisions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter, and Purchaser, its Affiliates and such Debt Financing Sources may share such information with other potential Debt Financing Sources in connection with any marketing efforts (including any syndication) in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that the recipients of such information agree to customary (including “click through”) confidentiality arrangements.

(b) During the Restricted Period, (I) Seller shall hold and shall cause its Subsidiaries to hold, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence, and not disclose or use (except in accordance with the express terms of any Ancillary Agreement), any and all confidential information, whether written or oral, to the extent related to the Company Group or the Business, and (II) Purchaser shall hold and shall cause its Subsidiaries to hold, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence, and not disclose or use (except in accordance with the express terms of any Ancillary Agreement), any and all confidential information, whether written or oral, to the extent related to the Excluded Business,

(i) except to the extent that such information:

(A) is generally available to or known by the public through no fault of such applicable Party, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives; or

(B) is lawfully acquired by such Party, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited, to the Knowledge of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, from disclosing such information by nondisclosure obligations or duties; or

(ii) unless such Party determines, after consulting with counsel, that disclosure of such information is required by applicable Law. If such Party determines that disclosure of such information is required by applicable Law, such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with applicable Law to consult with the other Party with respect thereto and to obtain, at such Party’s sole expense, appropriate confidential treatment, if available, of such information as such Party may reasonably request;

provided, in the case of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, the foregoing restriction shall not prohibit any use or disclosure reasonably required to operate the Business in the ordinary course. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and Representatives shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder if they exercise the same degree of care (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) as they take to preserve confidentiality for their own similar information and nothing herein shall prevent Purchaser and its Affiliates from disclosing or using information used or held for use in the Business after the Closing.

7.7 D&O Indemnification and Exculpation.

(a) Subject to Seller’s compliance with its obligations under Section 7.7(b), from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the Company Group to, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the fullest extent provided under the Organizational Documents of the Company Group now in effect, the individuals who on or prior to the Closing Date were directors or officers of the Company Group (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such or taken at the request of the Company Group at any time prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees that all rights of the Indemnitees to indemnification and exculpation from Liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company Group as now in effect, and the indemnification agreements or arrangements of the Company Group set forth on Schedule 7.7(a), shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Such rights shall not be amended or otherwise modified in any manner that would materially adversely affect the rights of the Indemnitees, unless such modification is required by Law.

(b) For a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date (the “D&O Tail Period”), Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable efforts to maintain, in full force and effect, the coverage provided to the Indemnitees under any Insurance Policies in force as of the date of this Agreement with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and further agrees to preserve and, at Purchaser’s direction,

pursue such officers’ and directors’ coverage rights under such Insurance Policies. In the event Seller cancels, amends, modifies, terminates or waives any such Insurance Policies or coverage available thereunder during such period, the Seller shall obtain “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of the duration of the remaining D&O Tail Period (for the benefit of the Company Group) with at least the same coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Company Group, with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives; and

(ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Indemnitee may have by Contract or otherwise.

(d) If Purchaser or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 7.7.

(e) The obligations of Purchaser under this Section 7.7 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to materially adversely affect any Indemnitee to whom this Section 7.7 applies without the consent of the affected Indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 7.7 applies are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.7).

7.8 Preservation of Records.

(a) Purchaser shall cause the Company Group to preserve and keep the records relating to the Business and the Company Group Entities existing as of Closing and in its possession for a period of seven years from the Closing Date. Subject to provisions of Section 7.27, Purchaser shall cause the Company Group to make available to Seller and its Representatives such records, and personnel of the Company Group familiar therewith, as may be reasonably requested by Seller in connection with claims by or against Seller or any of its Affiliates related to the Company Group or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or compliance by Seller with its obligations under this Agreement or any Seller Document. If Purchaser wishes to destroy such records during such time, Purchaser shall cause the Company Group first to give 90 days prior written notice to Seller, and Seller shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to Purchaser within

that 90 day period, to take possession of the records within 180 days after the date of such notice.

(b) Seller shall preserve and keep the records relating to the Business existing as of Closing and in its possession for a period of seven years from the Closing Date. Subject to provisions of Section 7.27, Seller shall make available to Purchaser and its Representatives such records, and personnel of Seller familiar therewith, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with claims by or against Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to the Business, the Company Group or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or compliance by Purchaser with its obligations under this Agreement or any Purchaser Document. If Seller wishes to destroy such records during such time, Seller shall first give 90 days prior written notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to Seller within that 90 day period, to take possession of the records within 180 days after the date of such notice.

7.9 Publicity.

(a) Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall, and each of Purchaser and Seller shall cause its Affiliates not to, issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the other Party (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless such Party determines, after consulting with counsel, that disclosure is required by applicable Law. If a Party so determines that disclosure of such information is required by applicable Law, such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with applicable Law to consult with the other Party with respect thereto; provided, further, that upon and after the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Sponsor), on the one hand, and Seller and its respective Affiliates, on the other hand, shall be entitled to provide general information, including issuing a press release or similar such public announcement, concerning the transactions contemplated hereby to their respective investors and prospective investors who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions for the purpose of customary fundraising, marketing or reporting or informational activities, in each case without obtaining such prior approval.

(b) Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall, and each of Purchaser and Seller shall cause its Affiliates not to, disclose or otherwise make available to the public the terms of this Agreement or publicly file or otherwise make available to the public copies of this Agreement unless such Party determines, after consulting with counsel, that such disclosure, availability or filing is required by applicable Law. If a Party so determines that such disclosure, availability or filing is required by applicable Law, such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party with respect thereto and to obtain appropriate confidential treatment, if available, thereof as the other Party may reasonably request.

7.10 Employment and Employee Benefits.

(a) No later than six (6) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a final version of the Business Employee Schedule, and indicating which such Business Employees set forth thereon, if any, are on approved short- or long-term leaves of absence (“Leave Offered Employees”).

(b) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Target 3 will provide notice to the Business Employees assigned to work in Target 3 of the transfer of employment of such Business Employees to Target 3. Such offers of employment shall be conditional and effective on or after the Closing, shall describe the new employee benefit plans (“Target 3 Benefit Plans”) in which such Business Employees will participate as of the Closing Date. Such offers of employment are to be on terms and conditions including a base salary or base wage which is no less favorable to those existing as of the Closing Date, and such Target 3 Benefit Plans (including health and welfare, defined contribution retirement, opportunities for commissions, bonuses, severance benefits, and other cash-based incentive pay, but excluding equity-based incentive compensation, employee stock purchase plan, defined benefit pension schemes, deferred compensation arrangements, and retiree medical or other post-employment health and welfare coverage) are to be substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to such Business Employees immediately prior to the Closing. In such offer, the individual’s years of service shall be recognized for all purposes. The Business Employees who accept such offers of employment and commence employment with Target 3 shall become Continuing Employees (as defined below). Seller shall remain responsible for all Liabilities in any way relating to the Business Employees assigned to work at Target 3 who do not become Continuing Employees in accordance with this Section 7.10(b).

(c) Subject to Sections 7.10(b) and 7.10(d), Seller shall take all reasonable actions to cause each Business Employee to be employed or engaged by a Company Group Entity no later than immediately prior to the Closing. The Parties intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Restructuring) shall not constitute a separation, termination or severance of employment of any Business Employee prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (including the Restructuring) and that the Business Employees will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing Date. Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to minimize the likelihood of incurring or triggering any severance payment, statutory severance or termination payment due to any Business Employees resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Restructuring), provided however, Purchaser acknowledges that the Transaction shall result in a termination of employment for certain Continuing Employees holding equity-based incentive awards in Seller Parent.

(d) Following the Closing, (i) Purchaser and Seller shall take all reasonable actions necessary to cause each Corporativo Employee to be transferred to an entity designated by Purchaser no later than March 31, 2020, and (ii) the Parties shall take all actions necessary in order for the Corporativo Employees to be transferred pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement through the following process (A) for employment purposes, through an employer substitution process under Article 41 of

the Mexican Federal Labor Law (Ley Federal del Trabajo), and (B) for social security purposes, the entity designated by Purchaser to hire the Corporativo Employees shall enroll them within the social security mandatory regime before the Mexican Social Security Institute within five (5) working days (in Mexico) of the date on which the employer substitution implemented for employment purposes becomes effective, using its employer’s registration number. Subsequently, Univar Corporativo, S.A. de C.V. (“Univar Corporativo”) shall submit the discharge of such Corporativo Employees from the social security mandatory regime (such transfer, the “Corporativo Employee Transfer”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as would be prohibited by any applicable disability discrimination Laws, to the extent that a Business Employee in Mexico is a Leave Offered Employee, such Leave Offered Employee shall remain an employee of Seller Group Members until the time the applicable leave ends and such Leave Offered Employee is eligible to return to work. If and when such a Leave Offered Employee is able to return to work and presents himself or herself to Purchaser or its Affiliates for employment, such Leave Offered Employee shall be eventually transferred to the entity designated by Purchaser.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as would be prohibited by any applicable disability discrimination Laws, to the extent that a Business Employee in Canada is a Leave Offered Employee, such Leave Offered Employee shall remain an employee of Seller Group Members until the time the applicable leave ends and the Leave Offered Employee is eligible to return to work. If and when a Leave Offered Employee is able to return to work and presents himself or herself to Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company Group Entities) for employment, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to offer employment to such Leave Offered Employee and, if such offer is accepted, such employee’s commencement of employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates shall be the date on which such employee commences employment with the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates and such employee shall thereafter be deemed a Continuing Employee and all years of service with Seller Group Members as disclosed on the Business Employee Schedule shall be recognized by the Company Group Entity for all purposes.

(f) For a period of one year after the Closing Date, or such longer period of time required by applicable Law, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one or more of its Affiliates to, provide the Business Employees who were employed by of one of the Company Group Entities or with Corporativo with respect to Target 2 immediately prior to the Closing (the “Continuing Employees”), who remain employed with Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser, with (i) a base salary or base wage that is no less favorable than the base salary or base wage provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) employee benefits (including health and welfare, defined contribution retirement, opportunities for commissions, bonuses, severance benefits, and other cash-based incentive pay, but excluding equity-based incentive compensation, employee share purchase programs, defined benefit pension schemes, deferred compensation arrangements, and retiree medical or other post-employment health and welfare coverage) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, to the extent that the Continuing Employee is located outside of, or primarily provides services outside of, the U.S. (a “Foreign Continuing Employee”), such Foreign

Continuing Employee shall be entitled to compensation and benefits required by applicable Law if such compensation and/or benefits are greater than those set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, respectively. In addition, immediately following the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one or more of its Affiliates to, provide each Continuing Employee with a location of employment and job duties that are, in each case, substantially similar to those provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the foregoing is not an obligation owing from Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates to continue to employ or engage any Business Employee for any period of time following the Closing Date to any Business Employee.

(g) For purposes of eligibility, benefit levels and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under the employee benefit plans established or maintained by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate following the Closing (the “Purchaser Plans”), Purchaser shall credit each Continuing Employee with his or her years of service with the Company Group to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled to credit for such service under any similar Business Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing (excluding any defined benefit pension plans, retiree or other post-employment medical or health coverage, or deferred compensation plans), except to the extent that it would result in the duplication of benefits. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Purchaser Plans do not deny Continuing Employees coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions and credit such Continuing Employees in the year of initial participation in the Purchaser Plans for any deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid by such Continuing Employees under the Business Benefit Plans. Seller shall provide to Purchaser within 90 days after the Closing a listing of deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses for the current year for those Continuing Employees and their dependents who provide authorization for release of such data.

(h) Seller shall take such actions as are necessary to permit and allow Continuing Employees to continue participation in Business Benefit Plans providing medical, dental, vision, prescription drug, life, disability and accident benefits after Closing pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, until the earlier of (i) the date upon which Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser has established all plans required under Section 7.10(f) including all benefit plans providing medical, dental, vision, prescription drug, life, disability and accident benefits or (ii) May 15, 2020; provided that Purchaser shall be responsible for all premiums and cost associated with the participation of the Continuing Employees in such Business Benefit Plans as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement. Except as otherwise provided under the Transition Services Agreement, the Continuing Employees shall cease to accrue benefits under all Business Benefit Plans that are not Assumed Benefit Plans effective on Closing. Seller shall retain responsibility for all amounts payable by reason of or in connection with any and all claims incurred under the Business Benefit Plans by the Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) prior to the Effective Time. Purchaser, the Purchaser Plans, and the Assumed Benefit Plans shall be responsible for all amounts payable by reason of or in connection with any and all claims incurred under the Business Benefit Plans by the Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) after the Effective Time. For the purposes of this Section 7.10(h), a claim shall be deemed to have been incurred

(i) with respect to a death or dismemberment claim, on the actual date of death or dismemberment; (ii) with respect to a short-term or long-term disability claim, the date of occurrence of the injury or accident or the date of diagnosis of the illness or other event giving rise to such claim or series of related claims; (iii) with respect to a health care claim, including vision, dental and medical treatments, the date of treatment; and (iv) with respect to a prescription drug claim, the date the prescription is filled.

(i) Seller shall take such actions necessary to permit and allow Continuing Employees to continue participation in the current defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Current 401(k) Plan”) after Closing pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement until the earlier of (i) the date upon which Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser has established a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “New 401(k) Plan”), or (ii) May 15, 2020; provided that Purchaser shall be responsible for all cost incurred by Seller in connection with the participation of the Continuing Employees in the Current 401(k) Plan including but not limited to any required contributions to the accounts of Continuing Employees. As promptly as practicable after the New 401(k) Plan is established, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to effect a “trust-to-trust” transfer of the account balances of the applicable Continuing Employees from the Current 401(k) Plan to the New 401(k) Plan in accordance with applicable Law.

(j) Prior to the Closing Date, with respect to the Univar USA Inc. Supplemental Valued Investment Plan (“SVIP”), Seller Parent or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall take, or cause to be taken, all action necessary, to make any matching or other contributions owed thereunder in respect of any Continuing Employees participating in the SVIP for all periods prior to and through the Closing as required under the SVIP.

(k) Following the Closing Date, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for any continuation coverage required under Section 4980 of the Code, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or applicable state Law (“COBRA”) to each Continuing Employee or any Person related to such Continuing Employee who is a “qualified beneficiary” as that term is defined in COBRA whose first “qualifying event” (as defined in COBRA) occurs on or prior to the Closing.

(l) The provisions of this Section 7.10 are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to (i) constitute an amendment or modification to any of the Business Benefit Plans or any of compensation and benefits plans maintained for or provided to Continuing Employees prior to or following the Closing or (ii) confer upon or give to any Person, other than the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 7.10 or elsewhere in this Agreement under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement.

7.11 Separation.

(a) For the 18 month period from and after Closing, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser and the Company Group for any and all costs, fees and expenses incurred, in good faith, from time to time by Purchaser or any Company Group Entity that are identifiable as attributable to or resulting from the separation of the Business, including the items identified on Schedule 7.11 (“Separation Costs”); provided that (i) once Seller has reimbursed Purchaser for $10,000,000 (Ten Million Dollars), in aggregate, of Separation Costs, Seller’s ongoing reimbursement obligation pursuant to this Section 7.11(a) shall be limited to 80% of the incremental Separation Costs in excess of $10,000,000 (Ten Million Dollars) and (ii) in no event shall Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7.11(a) exceed $18,000,000 (Eighteen Million Dollars) in the aggregate. From time to time, Purchaser may, in good faith, submit to Seller a written reimbursement request indicating the Separation Costs for which Purchaser would like to be reimbursed and reasonable documentation with respect to any third party Separation Costs reflected in such request. Seller, in good faith, may dispute in writing any reimbursement requests by Purchaser, so long as Seller has delivered such written notice of dispute to Purchaser within 20 Business Days following receipt of the written request for reimbursement. Within the later of (i) 20 Business Days after receiving any written reimbursement request which is not disputed or (ii) if disputed, within 5 Business Days after Seller and Purchaser mutually agree, in good faith, as to the correct amount of such reimbursement or such dispute is resolved by the Accounting Referee using the processes set forth in Section 3.4(d) (adapted as necessary for this Section 7.11(a)), Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the amount set forth in such request. In order to support Seller’s obligations under this Section 7.11(a), at Closing, Seller shall provide to Purchaser a letter of credit issued to Purchaser or other entity designated by Purchaser (the “Letter of Credit”), in the form and on the terms attached hereto as Exhibit C, for an amount of $18,000,000 (Eighteen Million Dollars) from Bank of America, NA that may be drawn upon solely to the extent Seller has not made any payment (when due) to Purchaser required under this Section 7.11(a).

(b) As of the date hereof, Seller shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to assist Purchaser in the development of a workplan regarding the provision of services under the Transition Services Agreement and the build-out of the business support systems, infrastructure and functions of the Company Group provided however, the foregoing shall not expand upon or replace any obligations of the Seller under any other Ancillary Agreement nor shall this provision be used to avoid amounts owing for services provided by Seller and its Affiliates under the Transition Services Agreement.

(c) Seller Group Members shall not have any right to set-off, net or offset any Separation Costs against any payments to be made or owed by Purchaser or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreement among the Parties.

(d) Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any payment made pursuant to this Section 7.11 as an adjustment to the purchase price for foreign, federal (including U.S. federal income Tax), state and local income Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Except as set forth on Schedule 7.12 (the “Surviving Arrangements”), all Contracts (including any Tax sharing or allocation agreements) between and among any Company Group Entity, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company Group), on the other hand, and all Company Guarantees provided to Seller or any of its Affiliates, shall be terminated in their entirety upon the Closing, by the parties thereto and shall be deemed voided, cancelled and discharged in their entirety. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.12, all intercompany balances between and among any Company Group Entity, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company Group), on the other hand, shall be eliminated by capital contribution, discharge or otherwise in their entirety upon the Closing.

7.13 Tax Matters.

(a) Subject to a cap equal to the Purchase Price, and subject to any limitation set forth in Section 7.19 that expressly applies to this Section 7.13, Seller shall be liable for and pay, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against, all Losses arising out of, relating to or resulting from (A) Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Company Group for any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, (B) Taxes of Sellers and their Affiliates (excluding the Company Group), including Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Excluded Business and Group Taxes and (C) any inaccuracy or beach of any representation or warranty set forth in Sections 5.9(a)(x), 5.9(c), 5.9(d), or 5.9(e) (such Losses, “Seller Taxes”), in each case, only to the extent such Seller Tax was not already taken into account in the determination of the Final Adjusted Purchase Price. Purchaser shall be liable for and pay, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all Taxes imposed on any member of the Company Group, or for which any Company Group Entity may otherwise be liable, for any taxable year or period that begins after the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date (such Losses, “Purchaser Taxes”).

(b) For purposes of Section 7.13(a), whenever it is necessary to determine the Liability for Taxes of the Company Group for a Straddle Period, the determination of such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two taxable periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date, and Taxes based upon or measured by net income, gain, loss, receipts, proceeds, profits or similar items of the Company Group for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two taxable periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the Company Group Entities were closed at the end of the day on the Closing Date; provided, however, that Taxes other than those described above shall be allocated to the portion of a taxable year or period ending on the Closing Date based on the total amount due for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by (x) the number of days in such Straddle Period through the Closing Date divided by (y) the total number of days in such Straddle Period.

(c) Seller shall timely file or cause to be timely filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) (A) all Group Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company Group on a combined, consolidated or unitary basis with Seller or any Affiliate thereof (other than any Group Tax Returns with respect to an Affiliated Group for which one of the Company Group Entities is the common parent) and (B) all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed with respect to the Company Group for taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice, in each case, except as otherwise required by applicable law. Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy of a Tax Return, including any portion of a Group Tax Return, that relates to a Company Group Entity not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for such Tax Return, taking into account extensions (or, if such due date is within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date), for its review and comment, and Seller shall, acting reasonably, consider Purchaser’s comments prior to the filing of such Tax Return. Seller shall timely remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide Purchaser (and Purchaser shall not be entitled to review) any income Tax Return of Seller not relating to a member of the Company Group.

(d) Purchaser shall timely file or cause to be timely filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company Group for (A) taxable years or periods beginning after the Closing Date and (B) any Straddle Periods and all such Tax Returns for the Straddle Period shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, in each case, except as otherwise required by applicable law. With respect to any such Tax Return for the Straddle Period, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for such Tax Return, taking into account extensions (or, if such due date is within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date), Purchaser shall provide Seller with a draft copy of such Tax Return for its review and comment and Purchaser shall, acting reasonably, consider such comments before filing such Tax Return. At least five (5) days prior to the due date for such Tax Return, Seller will pay its portion of the Taxes due with respect to such Tax Return to Purchaser, as determined pursuant to Section 7.13(a). Purchaser shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns.

(e) From and after the Closing, each Party shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the other Party, upon the other Party’s reasonable request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance related to the Company Group and the Business as is reasonably necessary for (i) the filing of any Tax Return or (ii) the preparation for or the prosecution or defense of any claim, audit, examination or other proposed change or adjustment by any taxing authority, as well as any notice of assessment (or proposed notice of assessment) and any notice and demand for payment, concerning any Income Taxes or other Taxes (a “Tax Proceeding”).

(f) Both Parties shall promptly notify the other Party in writing upon receipt by it or any of its Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened Tax Proceeding

which might affect the Taxes for which the other Party may be liable pursuant to this Section 7.13; provided, however, that the failure or delay to provide any such notice promptly shall not relieve any Party of its obligations hereunder. Seller shall have the right to control and represent the Company Group’s interests in any Tax Proceeding relating to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense; provided that, Purchaser shall be (i) kept apprised of the conduct of any such Tax Proceeding to the extent it relates to a Company Group Entity and (ii) entitled to participate in all aspects of such Tax Proceeding at Purchaser’s expense. Seller shall not agree to any settlement or compromise of such Tax Proceeding without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the case of a Straddle Period, Seller shall be (i) kept apprised of the conduct of any Tax Proceeding relating (in whole or in part) to Taxes attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date (ii) entitled to participate at its expense in such Tax Proceeding with the prior written consent of Purchaser, and (iii) Purchaser shall not agree to any settlement or compromise of such Tax Proceeding without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(g) Seller 2 shall, if available under applicable Law, at its discretion, prepare and file elections under (i) Subsection 85(l) of the ITA (and under similar applicable provincial laws), (ii) Section 22 of the ITA (and under similar applicable provincial laws), and (iii) Xxxxxxx 000 xx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxx Xxx (Xxxxxx), with respect to the transfer, prior to the Closing Date, of assets from Seller 2 to Target 3. Drafts of the forms, to the extent not required to be filed prior to the Closing Date, for any such elections shall be provided to Target 3 for review and comment at least 30 days before the deadline for the filing thereof, and Seller 2 shall consider in good faith any comments thereon provided by Target 3 at least 10 days before the deadline for filing. If, following such review by Target 3, Seller 2 provides Target 3 with a completed (apart from execution by Target 3) copy of such election then Purchaser 2 shall promptly cause Target 3 to execute such form. Apart from causing any duly completed election form to be executed (as described above), neither Target 3 nor the Purchaser shall have any responsibility for any such election made pursuant to this Section 7.13(g) nor bear any liability for any costs, expenses, losses or other damages in respect of any such election, including any costs, expenses, losses or other damages arising from any non-filing or late filing of, or errors or omissions contained in, or otherwise in respect of any such election, and Seller shall indemnify Target 3 and Purchaser against the same.

(h) Seller shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes of the Company Group Entities allocable to any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date, in each case net of any Tax and other costs incurred in connection with such refund. Purchasers shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes of the Company Group Entities allocable to any taxable year or period that begins on or after the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period beginning on or after the Closing Date.

(i) All Tax Sharing Agreements with respect to or involving any Company Group Entity, if any, shall be terminated no later than the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, none of the Company Group Entities shall be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder. The Seller shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to terminate any such Tax Sharing Agreements.

(j) With respect to Target 2, Purchaser is authorized, after the Closing Date, to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code. Purchaser and Seller agree to file all applicable Tax Returns consistent with such Section 338(g) election, if any.

(k) The Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that the acquisition of the interests in Target 1 pursuant to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement will be treated as a taxable sale of the assets of Target 1 by Seller 1 for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that the acquisition of the interests in Target 3 pursuant to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement will be treated as a taxable sale of the assets of Target 3 by Seller 2 for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(l) Seller Parent and Seller 1 shall each appoint a legal representative in Mexico that meets the requirements established in Article 174 of the Mexican Income Tax Act (Ley del Impuesto sobre la Renta) and the respective legal representative shall file the corresponding and respective Tax Return and remit the income Tax payable within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the corresponding copy of each Tax Return stamped as filed with evidence of payment with the competent taxing authority and of the appointment of the legal representative in Mexico for such purposes.

7.14 Insurance.

(a) (i) Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to maintain, in full force and effect until the Closing, the coverage provided to the Business by the Insurance Policies in force as of the date of this Agreement, including renewing any policies expiring during such period, and (ii) Seller shall not cause any intentional breach, default or cancellation (other than expiration and replacement of policies in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices) of such Insurance Policies or agreements that would have had or would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Business. Seller shall, and it shall cause its Affiliates to, (I) prior to the Closing, report to the applicable third-party insurance provider under each such applicable Insurance Policy events, acts, errors, accidents, omissions, incidents, injuries or other forms of occurrences that first occur or exist prior to Closing (“Pre-Closing Occurrence”) to the extent actually known to the Seller and relating to the Business, any Company Group Entity or the properties, assets, operations, employees, officers or directors of the Business or any Company Group Entity and (II) take commercially reasonable actions necessary to preserve and pursue the Business’s or the Company Group’s coverage rights for such Pre-Closing Occurrences.

(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Company Group not to, assert any right, title or interest in, to or under any Insurance Policies (other than those under which the Company Group is the sole insured) or rights to proceeds thereof in effect on or prior to the Closing Date relating to the Company Group, other than (i) with respect to insurance proceeds that constitute Business Assets; and (ii) for claims brought under the Insurance Policies for any Pre-Closing Occurrence.

(c) Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs and expenses required to be paid by Purchaser under the R&W Policy when due pursuant to the express terms of the R&W Policy, including the total premium, underwriting costs, brokerage commissions and other fees and expenses in connection with such policy. Purchaser shall not agree in writing to any amendment, modification or waiver to or of the waiver of subrogation provision in the R&W Policy in any manner that is materially adverse to Seller and/or its Affiliates without the consent of Seller.

7.15 Exclusivity. Following the date of this Agreement, Seller shall not and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company Group) not to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, consider, facilitate, encourage or accept, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to, any proposals from any Person (other than the Purchaser) relating to any (i) acquisition or purchase of all or any of the issued Company Group Securities, or all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company Group or the Business (other than the sale of inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business), (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, restructuring, dissolution or liquidation of or involving the Business or the Company Group, or (iii) any other acquisition or equity investment transaction involving or otherwise relating to the Business or the Company Group other than with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including the formation of a partnership or joint venture (collectively in clauses (i) through (iii), a “Competing Proposal”). Following the date of this Agreement, Seller shall and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company Group) to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, conversations, negotiations and other communications with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing and not enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding relating to any potential Competing Proposal.

7.16 Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Schedules) to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Seller from causing the Company Group to pay cash dividends, and/or make cash distributions at any time prior to the Closing.

7.17 Data Room Documentation. As promptly as practicable, and in any event within five Business Days after the Closing Date, Seller will, at its expense, authorize Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. to, and request that it, copy to a suitable electronic medium all documents posted to the data room hosted by it as of the Closing Date in the same order and

manner as such documents are set forth in such data room and deliver one such copy to Purchaser.

7.18 Enforcement of Restrictive Covenants. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assign to Purchaser and its applicable Affiliates the right to enforce any provisions in any agreement to which any former employee of the Business who does not become a Continuing Employee is bound and for any Continuing Employee, to the extent such provision relates primarily or exclusively to the Business, including any assignment of inventions, work made for hire, confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation provisions contained in any such agreements and such restrictions shall no longer run in favor of Seller and its Affiliates.

7.19 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to this Section 7.19, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company Group) and each of its and its Affiliates’ respective stockholders, members, directors, equityholders, principals, officers, managers, partners, employees, representatives, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses that any such Purchaser Indemnified Party suffers, sustains or incurs (whether or not in connection with a third-party claim) arising out of, relating to or resulting from:

(i) Seller Taxes (not otherwise taken into account in the determination of the Final Adjusted Purchase Price) subject to the limits and payable by Seller pursuant to Section 7.13;

(ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Seller Fundamental Representations, or in any certificate delivered hereunder to the extent relating to such Seller Fundamental Representations (which indemnification obligations under this subclause (ii) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price);

(iii) the Excluded Liabilities (which indemnification obligations under this subclause (iii) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price);

(iv) any breach of or failure to perform by Seller or any of its Affiliates of any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement (other than pre-closing covenants or agreements in Section 7.10 (Employment and Employee Benefits) or Section 7.23 (Additional Asset Transfers)) (which indemnification obligations under this subclause (iv) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price);

(v) any escheatment or unclaimed property matters, in each case arising out of or relating to any conditions, events,

circumstances, facts, activities, practices, incidents, actions or omissions first occurring or existing on or prior to the Closing (which indemnification obligations under this subclause (v) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price);

(vi) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.18 (Environmental Representation) (which indemnification under this subclause (vi) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price);

(vii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.15 (Labor) or any breach of or failure to perform by Seller or any of its Affiliates of any of their respective pre-closing covenants or agreements contained in Section 7.10 (Employment and Employee Benefits) (which indemnification obligations under this subclause (vii) shall not exceed an amount equal to 35% of the Purchase Price);

(viii) any third party claim for any product sold or delivered by Seller or any of its Affiliates prior to Closing (including any product recalls) (which indemnification obligations under this subclause (viii) shall not exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Purchase Price); or

(ix) any inaccuracy or breach of Section 5.21 (Sufficiency of Assets) or any breach of or failure to perform by Seller or any of its Affiliates of any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in Section 7.23 (Additional Asset Transfers) (which indemnification obligations under this subclause (ix) shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to 10% of the Purchase Price).

(b) Subject to this Section 7.19, from and after the Closing, Purchaser (for purposes of this Section 7.19(b), the Company Group) shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and each of its and its Affiliates’ respective stockholders, members, directors, equityholders, principals, officers, managers, partners, employees, representatives, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses that any such Seller Indemnified Party suffers, sustains or incurs (whether or not in connection with a third-party claim) arising out of, relating to or resulting from:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Purchaser Fundamental Representations, or in any certificate delivered hereunder to the extent relating to such Purchaser Fundamental Representations (which indemnification obligations under this subclause (i) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price);

(ii) the Assumed Liabilities (excluding Liabilities indemnified by Seller as contemplated by Section 7.13 or Section 7.19) (which indemnification obligations under this subclause (ii) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price);

(iii) Purchaser Taxes (which indemnification obligations under this subclause (iii) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price); or

(iv) any breach of or failure to perform by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement (which indemnification obligations under this subclause (iv) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price).

(c) Any claim for indemnification under this Section 7.19 must be asserted in accordance with this Section 7.19 prior to the end of the applicable survival period for such claim (and any claim for indemnification under this Section 7.19 asserted after the applicable survival period for such claim under this Section 7.19 shall be null and void), which are set forth below:

(i) with respect to any indemnification claim under Section 7.19(a)(iv) (Seller Covenants), sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such matters;

(ii) with respect to any indemnification claim under Sections 7.19(a)(i) (Seller Taxes), 7.19(a)(ii) (Fundamental Representations), 7.19(a)(iii) (Excluded Liabilities), or 7.19(a)(v) (Escheatment), sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such matters;

(iii) with respect to any indemnification claim under Section 7.19(a)(vi) (Environmental Representation), the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date;

(iv) with respect to any indemnification claim under Section 7.19(a)(vii) (Labor), the third anniversary of the Closing Date;

(v) with respect to any indemnification claim under Section 7.19(a)(viii) (Pre-closing Products), the third anniversary of the Closing Date;

(vi) with respect to any indemnification claim under Section 7.19(a)(ix) (Sufficiency of Assets), the first anniversary of the Closing Date; and

(vii) with respect to any indemnification claim under Sections 7.19(b)(i)-(iv) sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such matters.

provided, however, that any obligations under Section 7.19(c) shall not terminate with respect to any claims or Losses as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have given notice to the indemnifying party in accordance with Section 7.19 before the termination of the applicable survival period.

(d) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7.13 or this Section 7.19, neither the coverage nor the absence of coverage under the R&W Policy, for any reason, will alter or otherwise affect Seller’s liability under this Agreement.

(e) Any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Section 7.19 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice (the “Claims Notice”) to the Party from which indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) containing (i) a description of the Losses for which indemnification is sought by the Indemnified Party and, if known, the estimated amount of such Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claims Notice to the extent of the facts then known by the Indemnified Party, and (iii) a demand for payment of those Losses. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give such Claims Notice in the manner required pursuant to this Section 7.19(e) shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 7.19, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced with respect to the rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses, and then only to the extent of any such actual prejudice. If the Indemnifying Party rejects all or any part of a claim, the Indemnified Party shall be free to seek enforcement of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Indemnification payments shall be made by an Indemnifying Party promptly after (i) the amount of such payments has been determined by the mutual written agreement of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party or (ii) both the amount of such payments and the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to make such payments have been determined by the final nonappealable Order of a court; provided that the prevailing party in any Legal Proceeding to enforce the indemnification rights set forth herein shall be entitled to recover its reasonable legal fees and costs, including attorney’s fees.

(g) If an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Section 7.19 in connection with any Legal Proceeding instituted, or claim asserted, against such Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall, promptly upon gaining knowledge of such Third Party Claim, deliver to the Indemnifying Party a Claims Notice relating to such Third Party Claim; provided, that a failure by the Indemnified Party to give such Claims Notice in the manner required pursuant to this Section 7.19(g) shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 7.19, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced with respect to the rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claims, and then only to

the extent of any such actual prejudice. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to appoint counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim, it shall within 30 (thirty) days provide written notice to the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the control and defense of such Third Party Claim, if (i) such Third Party Claim is an Indemnified Party Defense Matter, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has not notified the Indemnified Party in writing of its desire to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim within the time period set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Third Party Claim (A) seeks relief other than the payment of monetary damages or seeks the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would materially restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (B) is a criminal Legal Proceeding or alleges, or seeks a finding or admission of a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or a civil Legal Proceeding by a Governmental Body, (C) if adversely determined would reasonably be expected to result in monetary liability of the Indemnified Party (after giving effect to the indemnification available hereunder) that is greater than the maximum amount of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim; or (D) is asserted by a material customer or supplier of the Indemnified Party (any such claim, an “Indemnified Party Defense Matter”) then, in each such case, the Indemnified Party alone shall be entitled to contest, defend, compromise and settle such Third Party Claim (but, with respect to any such settlement, subject to obtaining the consent of the Indemnifying Party when required in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Section 7.19(g)). If the Indemnifying Party (i) elects not assume the control and defense of a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise, (ii) is not entitled to defend the Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 7.19(g) or (iii) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend actively and diligently such Third Party Claim then, in each case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume the defense (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) and resolution of such Third Party Claim, and shall reasonably consult with the Indemnifying Party regarding the strategy for defense of such claim; it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) requested by the Indemnifying Party to so participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party

and Indemnified Party shall keep each other reasonably informed with respect to the status of such Third Party Claim. An Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the other, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim, permit a default judgment to be entered or consent to entry of a judgment (each, a “Settlement”); provided that such consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Indemnified Party if such Settlement (i) is or relates to an Indemnified Party Defense Matter, (ii) does not include from the claimant and such Indemnifying Party an unqualified release of the Indemnified Parties from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (iii) imposes any obligations or requirements (aside from customary confidentiality and similar administrative requirements) on the Indemnified Party other than the payment of money, which will be paid by the Indemnifying Party, or (iv) includes any admission of any Liability or wrongdoing (including any violation of Law or Order) by any Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have a reasonable period to review and comment upon drafts of any documentation relating to any Settlement that the Indemnifying Party proposed to enter into, and the Indemnifying Party shall accept any such comments if reasonable.

(h) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not have any indemnification obligations under Section 7.19(a)(vi) (Environmental Representation), Section 7.19(a)(vii) (Labor), Section 7.19(a)(viii) (Pre-Closing Products), or Section 7.19(a)(ix) (Sufficiency of Assets) for any Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties until such Losses in the aggregate exceed $2,000,000 (the “Threshold”), whereupon Seller shall be liable for the amount of such Losses that exceed the Threshold.

(i) Any fact, circumstance or event that is disclosed on any Schedule to this Agreement will be deemed to qualify other representations or warranties in this Agreement, whether or not such Schedule includes a cross-reference to the specific Section containing such representation or warranty or the specific Section containing such representation or warranty includes a reference to such Schedule, to the extent that the applicability of such disclosure to such representation or warranty is readily apparent on the face of the disclosure. Further, Purchaser acknowledges that none of Seller, the Company Group, any Affiliate of Seller, or any of their Representatives, will be required to indemnify a Purchaser Indemnified Party under Section 7.19 for any claim made by such Purchaser Indemnified Party for any breach of any representation or warranty under Section 7.19(a)(ii) (Fundamental Representations), Section 7.19(a)(vi) (Environmental Representation), Section 7.19(a)(vii) (Labor), or Section 7.19(a)(ix) (Sufficiency of Assets), if the party seeking indemnification for such Losses has actual knowledge of such breach prior to the date hereof.

(j) No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have any right to indemnification under this Agreement in respect of any matter to the extent such matter (i) is expressly taken into account as a purchase price reduction when calculating the Final Adjusted Purchase Price, or (ii) is a Separation Cost reimbursed by Seller in accordance with Section 7.11.

(k) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ‎Section 7.19 shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party

(less any Recovery Expenses) under insurance policies (including the R&W Policy) or any indemnification by any third party (less any Recovery Expenses), and net of any Tax benefits to the Indemnified Party actually realized (that are not in the nature of a timing benefit which reverses over time), whether in the form of a reduced Tax liability, a Tax refund, or as a credit or other offset to Taxes payable and increased by any Tax detriment resulting from the receipt of indemnification, in each case with respect to such Losses; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that a Tax detriment shall not include any increase in Taxes arising out of an indemnification payment to the extent such payment is treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price as provided under Section 7.19(p). No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have any right to make any claim for indemnification under Section 7.19(a)(i), Section 7.19(a)(ii) (Fundamental Representations), Section 7.19(a)(vi) (Environmental Representation), Section 7.19(a)(vii) (Labor), or Section 7.19(a)(ix) (Sufficiency of Assets) of this Agreement unless such Purchaser Indemnified Party has first used its commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under the R&W Policy and such recovery is denied or is insufficient; provided that this limitation shall not apply to the extent recovery under the R&W Policy is insufficient or unavailable to satisfy such claim (whether as a result of a retention, deductible, exclusion, expiration, breach, other limit under the R&W Policy or otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly provided in the preceding sentence, the pendency of any recovery under insurance policies or otherwise shall not relieve or delay any obligation of Seller to pay or indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that an insurance, indemnification or other recovery is actually received by any Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses for which any such Indemnified Party has been indemnified hereunder by an Indemnifying Party and such insurance, indemnification or other recovery was not taken into account with respect to the indemnification that was made to the Indemnified Party, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the applicable indemnification payment made by such Indemnifying Party shall be paid to such Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 30 days) after receipt of such insurance, indemnification or other recovery, which refund shall in no event exceed the amount of such insurance, indemnification or other recovery actually received by such Indemnified Party (less the full amount of any Tax costs or other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such recovery (including any increase in premiums) and net of any applicable deductibles or retentions (“Recovery Expenses”)). Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all commercially reasonable steps required by law to mitigate any Loss after becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including, to the extent commercially reasonable and required by law, incurring costs (which shall be recoverable hereunder) to the minimum extent necessary to mitigate further Losses.

(l) For purposes of the indemnification provision in this Agreement, all Materiality Qualifications included in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement will be disregarded both for purposes of calculating the amount of Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and for purposes of determining whether a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty has occurred.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have no recourse for a breach of any representation or warranty in ARTICLE V against Seller or any of its Affiliates, except to the extent specifically provided in Section 7.13 or Section 7.19(a) or in the case of intentional fraud.

(n) Seller, on behalf of itself and each of the other Seller Indemnified Parties, and Purchaser, on behalf of itself and each of the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties, acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or inaccuracy, or alleged breach or inaccuracy, of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any covenant or agreement under this Agreement, shall be indemnification in accordance with Section 7.13 (Tax Matters) and this Section 7.19, except (a) with respect to disputes under Section 3.4, which will be resolved in accordance therewith, (b) with respect to claims for specific performance or other equitable relief in accordance with Section 10.9, (c) intentional fraud and (d) in the case of Purchaser Indemnified Parties, recovery under the R&W Policy.

(o) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following provisions shall apply in respect of any claims for Seller Taxes and related damages which may be indemnified in accordance with Section 7.13(a) or this Section 7.19;

(i) Initial Tax Payments. In the case of a Third Party Claim that is a notice of assessment or reassessment, a notice of confirmation of an assessment or reassessment, a notice of garnishment, or a similar document in respect of any Seller Taxes, the Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of written notice of such claim, reimburse the applicable Purchaser’s Indemnified Party for an amount equal to (A) the full amount of such Seller Taxes required to be paid to the applicable taxing authority to stay collection proceedings in respect of which a taxing authority is permitted to take collection action, or (B) the full amount that has been garnished and applied towards any Seller Taxes, as applicable.

(ii) Final Determination True-Up. Upon the occurrence of a Tax Indemnification Event, (A) to the extent that the total of the amounts previously paid by the Seller in respect of the relevant Seller Taxes is less than the amount so determined to be the amount of the Seller Taxes, the Seller shall forthwith (and, in any event, within fifteen (15) days of the time that the applicable Purchaser’s Indemnified Party notifies the Seller of the occurrence of the Tax Indemnification Event) pay to such Purchaser’s Indemnified Party the amount of the Seller Taxes less the total of the amounts previously paid, and (B) to the extent that the total of the amounts previously paid by the Seller in respect of such Seller Taxes exceeds the amount so determined to be the amount of the Seller Taxes, such Purchaser’s Indemnified Party shall

forthwith upon receipt or confirmation of any refund or credit of such Seller Taxes (and, in any event, within fifteen (15) days of the receipt or confirmation of such refund or credit) pay to the Seller the amount of such refund or credit (including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto but net of any Taxes payable by the Purchaser’s Indemnified Party in respect of such refund, credit or interest).

(p) Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Section 7.19 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for foreign, federal, provincial, state and local income Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

7.20 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

(a) From the Closing Date until the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing (the “Restricted Period”), Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates (including the Seller Group Members) not to, directly or indirectly, own an interest in, manage, operate, join, control, endorse, support, perform services for, serve as a consultant to, solicit business for, participate in, provide, or facilitate any, financing, be connected, in any manner, with the ownership, management, operation or control of, or otherwise be affiliated with, any Restricted Business anywhere in North America or anywhere else in the world (other than Brazil) where the Business or the Company Group does business or operates (or has done business or operated or intends to do business or operate) or actively solicits (or has solicited or intends to solicit) customers, in each case as of the Closing (the “Restricted Territory”). “Restricted Business” means any business that markets, distributes, offers, sells or provides any products or services marketed, distributed, offered, sold or provided by the Business as of the Closing or substitutes for any such products or services in each case for use in any of the non-row crop portion of the agricultural industry in the U.S. or the structural pest control, public health, industrial vegetation management, turf and ornamental, or animal health markets, or otherwise competes with the Business as conducted as of the Closing (and as contemplated to be conducted). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or in any way restrict any Seller or any of its Affiliates from the following:

(i) making or maintaining passive investments of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding equity securities in any entity listed for trading on any national securities exchange as long as Seller or such Affiliate of Seller owning such securities has no other connection or relationship with such Person listed on the applicable national securities exchange; or

(ii) acquiring a business or any interest in a business that is involved in the Restricted Business; provided, that such business does not derive more than ten percent (10%) of its annual revenues from the Restricted Business and Seller’s annual revenues attributable to Restricted Businesses is less than $20,000,000.00 during the fiscal year prior to such acquisition being made (or, if earlier, the entry into the definitive agreement providing for the making of such acquisition).

(b) During the Restricted Period, Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates (including the Seller Group Members) not to, directly or indirectly, urge, induce, or seek to urge or induce any current or potential customer, supplier, vendor, licensee, licensor, distributor, franchisee or other business relationship of the Business to terminate their business relationship with the Business or the Company Group or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or to cancel, reduce, limit or in any manner interfere with such business relationship of the Business or the Company Group or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

(c) During the Restricted Period, Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates (including the Seller Group Members) not to, directly or indirectly, hire, offer to hire, entice away or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any individual who is or was an officer, employee, consultant or agent of the Company Group or the Business as of or prior to the Closing Date or is or was an officer, employee, consultant or agent of the Company Group or the Business or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates after the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Seller shall be prohibited from conducting generalized searches for officers, employees or consultants through the use of general advertisement or through the engagement of firms to conduct such searches that are not targeted or focused on the officers, employees or consultants of the Company Group, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates or the Business.

(d) The nature and scope of the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.20 have been carefully considered by the Parties. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the duration, scope and geographic areas applicable to such provisions are fair, reasonable and necessary and that adequate compensation has been received, directly or indirectly, by Seller for such obligations. Seller agrees that it will not assert or claim, or raise as a defense, in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, that any of such provisions are unenforceable as a matter of public policy or otherwise or that any of the duration, scope or geographic areas applicable to such provisions is or was not fair, reasonable or necessary or that adequate compensation was not received by such Seller for such obligations. If, however, for any reason any court determines that any such provisions are or were not fair, reasonable or necessary or that consideration was inadequate, such provisions shall be interpreted, modified or rewritten to include as much of the duration, scope and geographic area identified in this Section 7.20 as will render such restrictions valid and enforceable.

(e) The Parties acknowledge and agree that no portion of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the Target 2 Securities is allocated to a “restrictive covenant” as that term is defined for the purposes of Section 56.4 of the ITA and its provincial equivalent. Any “restrictive covenant” under this Agreement or any other transaction document is intended to maintain or preserve the value of the Company Group Securities to the Purchasers.

7.21 Financing; Lien Releases.

(a) Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Debt Financing as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof on terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter including by using its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain in effect and comply with its obligations under each Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) as promptly

as practicable negotiate, execute and deliver definitive agreements on the terms and conditions contained therein and (iii) subject to Seller’s and Company Group Entities’ cooperation under this Section 7.21, satisfy on a timely basis all conditions and obligations thereunder.

(b) Purchaser shall not amend, modify or change any provision in either the Equity Commitment Letter or the Debt Commitment Letter in any respect materially adverse to Seller without the prior written consent of Seller. Purchaser shall draw down on the financings referred to in the Debt Commitment Letter when the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter are satisfied, in each case in accordance with their respective terms.

(c) Purchaser shall deliver a prompt written notice to Seller if Purchaser has been notified in writing that any of its debt financing sources contemplated by the Debt Financing will not fund the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Debt Financing, with such written notice to Seller containing, if then known, a description and reasonable explanation for the basis of such failure. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter and Purchaser is therefore not able to pay the Adjusted Purchase Price and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, Purchaser will use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, (i) obtain alternative financing from third party alternative sources in an amount sufficient to replace the Debt Financing on terms and conditions not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Purchaser than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and any related fee letter (the “Alternate Debt Financing”); and (ii) obtain one or more new financing commitment letters with respect to such Alternate Debt Financing, which new letters will replace the existing Debt Commitment Letters in whole or in part. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Debt Financing” shall include Alternate Debt Financing and the term “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include financing commitment letters with respect to such Alternate Debt Financing.

(d) From and after the date hereof until the Closing, Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates, officers, directors, managers, employees and agents (including attorneys and accountants) to, provide all reasonable information and cooperation in connection with the arrangement and consummation of the Financing as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser (including (i) furnishing to Purchaser customary information regarding the Business necessary for the preparation of a customary confidential information memorandum; (ii) causing management of the Business with appropriate seniority and expertise to participate in a reasonable number of meetings, and presentations and diligence sessions with prospective lenders, investors and ratings agencies, in each case in connection with the Debt Financing; (iii) assisting Purchaser and the Debt Financing Sources in their preparation of any ratings agency presentations, bank information memoranda (including the delivery of customary authorization and representation letters to the extent contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter) and related lender presentations; (iv) cooperating with the marketing efforts of Purchaser and the Debt Financing Sources; (v) providing Purchaser all documentation and other information with respect to the Business as shall have been reasonably requested in writing by Purchaser at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that is required

in connection with the Debt Financing by U.S. regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001), as amended, or as required under 31 C.F.R. §1010.230, in each case, to the extent required by the Debt Commitment Letter; (vi) furnishing Purchaser with all financial information required to be delivered under the Debt Commitment Letter and assisting Purchaser in the preparation of pro forma financial statements; (vii) assisting in the preparation of, and executing and delivering, definitive documentation in connection with the Debt Financing (including credit, guarantee and collateral documents) and other customary certificates and documents relating thereto, and taking organizational actions in connection with the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser; and (viii) using reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably requested by Purchaser to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Debt Financing set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, to the extent satisfaction thereof requires the cooperation of the Seller Group Members; provided that Seller shall not be required to provide, or cause the Business to provide, cooperation under this Section 7.21(d) that: (A) unreasonably interferes with the ongoing business of the Company Group; (B) requires Seller to incur any liability (including, without limitation, any commitment fees) in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Closing; or (C) other than customary authorization letters, requires Company Group or its directors, officers, managers or employees to execute, deliver or enter into, or perform any agreement, document, certificate or instrument, with respect to the Debt Financing, and the directors or managers of the Company Group shall not be required to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Debt Financing is obtained or deliver any certification that, in the good faith judgement of the signatory, is not accurate. Seller hereby consents to the use of the Business’s 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 Seller). Any expenses, costs and/or fees incurred by Seller in connection with the performance of their obligations under this Section 7.21(d) shall, following delivery to Purchaser of a reasonably detailed invoice with respect thereto, be added to the Adjusted Purchase Price if the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, and if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, promptly reimbursed by Purchaser following termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(e) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser prior to the Closing (i) customary evidence of the release of all Liens on the assets and properties of the Company Group securing Indebtedness (including the Company Group Securities) under the agreements governing Indebtedness of the Seller Parent and the release of any guarantees of such Indebtedness by the Company Group (it being understood that Seller shall request from the holders of such Indebtedness (or the agent or trustee on behalf thereof) customary commitments by such holders (or such agent or trustee on behalf thereof) to execute and provide documentation and filings reasonably necessary to evidence the release or termination of such Liens (which release and termination shall be at Seller’s expense)) and (ii) a copy of any certificate or document required to be delivered under the agreements governing Indebtedness of the Seller Parent evidencing that the transactions contemplated hereby comply with the covenants and use of proceeds of such agreements.

7.22 Mail; Deliveries. After the Closing Date, each of the Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company Group), on the other hand, may receive mail, packages, or other communications (including electronic communications) properly belonging to the other Party (or the other Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, as applicable). Accordingly, at all times after the Closing Date, each of the Seller and Purchaser authorizes the other Party and their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives to receive and open all mail, packages, and other communications received by it and not clearly intended for the other Party (or its Subsidiaries) or any of the other Party’s (or its Subsidiaries’) officers or directors, and to retain the same to the extent that they relate to the Business (in the case of receipt by Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company Group)) or the Excluded Business (in the case of receipt by the Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries), or to the extent that they do not relate to the Business (in the case of receipt by Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company Group)) or do not relate to the Excluded Business (in the case of receipt by the Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries), the receiving Party shall promptly after becoming aware thereof refer, forward, or otherwise deliver such mail, packages, or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both the Business and the Excluded Business, copies thereof) to the other applicable Party. The provisions of this Section 7.22 are not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, constitute an authorization by either the Seller or Purchaser to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf, and neither Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other for purposes of the service of process.

7.23 Additional Asset Transfers.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at or prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, in each case at Seller’s sole cost (except for GST/HST or other creditable or recoverable transfer taxes, to the extent such taxes are actually recovered by Target 3, which taxes shall be assumed and paid by Target 3 to Seller 2, and Seller 2 shall remit same to the relevant tax authority in accordance with applicable Law) and expense, to the extent that any Business Assets are not held by the Company Group, sell, convey, assign and transfer to the Company Group, the Business Assets, free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Exceptions (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Asset Transfers”). Seller and Purchaser understand and agree that any transfers, assignments, sales or other dispositions of assets, interests, rights, capital stock, employees or otherwise, shall be at Seller’s sole cost and expense. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file, provide or otherwise obtain, as applicable, all consents, notices, filings, waivers, assignment agreements and recordings required in connection with the Pre-Closing Asset Transfers, including to enable the Company Group to conduct the Business in accordance with applicable Law and Contract requirements immediately following the Closing (and in the event the Closing occurs and any such costs and expenses associated with the foregoing matters described in this sentence have not been paid by Seller or such obligations have not been fulfilled, Seller shall, continue to be responsible for such costs, expenses and obligations and shall satisfy the same at Purchaser’s reasonable discretion). For the avoidance of doubt, no Restructuring Document will provide any rights, obligations or Liabilities of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding the Company Group), on the one hand, and any Company Group Entity, on the other hand, that are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Without

limiting the foregoing, from and after the date hereof, Seller shall provide Restructuring Documents to Purchaser in draft form and an opportunity to review, and shall not finalize, enter into, execute or deliver any Restructuring Document, without Purchaser’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

(b) If, at any time prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, any asset held by Seller or its Affiliates is ultimately determined to be a Business Asset, for no additional consideration, (i) Seller shall return or transfer and convey (without further consideration) to Purchaser, or to such Affiliate of Purchaser as Purchaser may direct, such Business Asset; and (ii) Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their appropriate Affiliates to, execute such documents or instruments of conveyance and take such further acts as are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such Business Asset to Purchaser or its appropriate Affiliate, in each case such that each Party and its Affiliates are put into the same economic position as if such action had been taken on or prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly pay or deliver to Purchaser (or its designee) any monies or checks which have been sent to Seller or any of its Affiliates by customers, suppliers or other contracting parties of the Business in respect of the Business or which are otherwise due to the Business and which should have been sent to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates (including promptly forwarding invoices or similar documentation to Purchaser or its designee). Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly pay or deliver to Seller any monies or checks which have been sent to Purchaser or the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates by customers, suppliers or other contracting parties of the Excluded Business in respect of the Excluded Business or which are otherwise due to the Excluded Business and which should have been sent to Seller or one of its Affiliates (including promptly forwarding invoices or similar documentation to Seller or its designee).

(d) Prior to the Closing Date, (i) Seller 1 and Target 1 shall enter into the U.S. Contribution Agreement and effect the U.S. Business Restructuring and (ii) Seller 2 and Target 3 shall enter into the Canadian Contribution Agreement and effect the Canadian Business Restructuring.

(e) Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assign to Purchaser and its applicable Affiliates the right to enforce any provisions in any agreement that constitutes a Business Asset that is not assigned to the Company pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, and to the extent requested by Purchaser and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, enforce such rights on behalf of Purchaser thereunder.

(f) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser no later than twenty (20) days after the Closing Date all original documents, agreements, instruments, licenses and permits related to Target 2 reasonably requested by Purchaser to the extent the same is in Seller’s possession or under its control.

7.24 IP Matters.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges that it is not purchasing or licensing any right, title or interest in or to the name “Univar,” or any abbreviations or variations thereof (collectively, the “Seller Trademarks”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Group and its Affiliates shall have a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, royalty-free right to use the Seller Trademarks in connection with the Company Group’s and its Affiliates’ products and any related services, trucks, equipment, signage, advertising and promotional materials, packing and shipping materials and other similar materials consistent with the manner used by Seller (with respect to the Business) prior to Closing for a period of 90 days after the Closing (the “Initial Univar License Period”). Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser’s use of the Seller Trademarks is for the sole benefit of, and all times shall inure to the benefit of Seller and its Affiliates.

(b) On the day immediately following the last day of the Initial Univar License Period, Purchaser shall rebrand the Company Group name and stop actively marketing the Company Group with the Seller Trademarks. Following the Initial Univar License Period and until August 15, 2020 (the “Univar License Transition Period”), Purchaser shall cause the Company Group to, and the Company Group shall, begin the process of removing all Seller Trademarks from all products and related services and halt all references to each of the Seller Trademarks on any products and related materials.

(c) Beginning on the day immediately following the last day of the Univar License Transition Period, Purchaser and the Company Group shall discontinue the use of Seller Trademarks.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and without limiting the rights otherwise granted in this Section 7.24, Purchaser and the Company Group (i) may, at all times after the Closing, (x) keep records and other historical or archived documents containing or referencing the Seller Trademarks, and (y) refer to the historical fact that the Business was previously conducted under the Seller Trademarks as necessary, but not for marketing purposes; and (ii) have no obligation to alter, remove or otherwise eliminate any use or reference to any Seller Trademark in (x) any materials or documents stored in archival or electronic backup systems or that otherwise are not public-facing or client-facing or (y) in any existing Contract or in any products, materials (including business papers), documents or media (including Software) already distributed.

(e) For a period lasting until the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, to the extent Purchaser identifies any Intellectual Property owned by Seller or its Affiliates: (i) at Closing, (ii) that was used in the operation of the Business as of the Closing, and (iii) that is not a Seller Trademark or otherwise addressed (directly or indirectly) under the Ancillary Agreements, Seller hereby grants to the Company Group and its Affiliates, on behalf of Seller and its Affiliates, a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, assignable, sublicensable, royalty-free and fully-paid-up license to use such Intellectual Property so identified to Seller solely for use in the operation of the Business (and natural evolutions thereof) and the development, manufacture, sale and distribution of products and services by the Company Group and its Affiliates.

(f) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) to, at Seller’s own expense, transfer all Registered Intellectual Property to a Company Group Entity and reflect the recordation of such transfers with the applicable Governmental Body and shall otherwise correct any chain-of-title defects or other discrepancies between record ownership and beneficial ownership of such Intellectual Property, including by preparing, executing, filing and recording with the applicable Governmental Bodies all instruments and documents necessary to cure such title defects (such actions, collectively, the “Chain of Title Clean-Up”). To the extent any Governmental Body has not recorded or otherwise processed any filings necessary to effect a complete Chain of Title Clean-up, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with and assist Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company Group) to correct the same following the Closing.

(g) For a period of 180 days from and after the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates shall ensure that the website (i) xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/ and any successor website that serves as each Seller’s primary website during such time and (ii) xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx/, each contain (x) a statement, to be agreed between the Parties prior to Closing (or as promptly as practicable thereafter), regarding the sale of the Business to Purchaser and (y) a link to the Company Group’s new website(s) (the domain names for which the Purchaser shall provide to the Seller prior to the Closing Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter).

7.25 ISRA Compliance. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller covenants and agrees to comply, at the Seller’s sole cost and expense, with any and all applicable provisions of ISRA (including, without limitation, Section 7:26B1.10 of ISRA) relating to the transfer of the ownership or operations of an “industrial establishment.” Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall diligently and in good faith, with reasonable diligence and in accordance with all applicable Laws, perform all covenants and agreements required under this Section 7.25, provide the Purchaser with periodic updates with respect to the efforts of the Seller hereunder and provide the Purchaser with copies of (x) any and all material filings, reports, work plans, forms, applications or other documents submitted by or on behalf of the Seller (including any LSRP engaged by the Seller) to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJ DEP”) in connection with ISRA requirements and (y) any and all material correspondence, agreements, certifications or other documents issued by or on behalf of the NJ DEP in connection with the matters described in this Section 7.25. The provisions of this Section 7.25 shall survive the Closing. To the extent that any of the Seller’s ISRA compliance activities occur after the Closing, the Seller shall perform, or cause to be performed, such activities to minimize any interference with Company Group’s operations.

7.26 Shared Contracts.

(a) Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to, as reasonably requested by Purchaser, (i) cause the counterparty to any Shared Contract listed on Schedule 7.26(a) (each an “Operating Shared Contract” and collectively the “Operating Shared Contracts”) to enter into a new contract with the Company

Group Entities, on terms substantially similar (taking into account the difference in size and bargaining power of Seller and Company Group) to those applicable to the Business in such Operating Shared Contract including with respect to pricing, in order for the Business to receive the applicable benefits under such Operating Shared Contract (each such new contract, a “New Contract”) or (ii) split the respective rights under any Operating Shared Contract such that, effective at or prior to the Closing, (A) the Company Group shall be the assigned beneficiary of the rights under such Operating Shared Contract to the extent such rights relate to the Business, and (B) the relevant Seller Group Member shall remain the beneficiary of the remaining rights under such Operating Shared Contract.

7.27 Privilege and Legal Cooperation.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to each other, upon reasonable written request, their (and their Subsidiaries’) respective officers, directors, employees, agents and other Representatives for fact finding, consultation and interviews and as witnesses to the extent that any such Person may reasonably be required in connection with any actions in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved relating to the conduct of the Business or the Company Group prior to or after the Closing. Access to such Persons shall be granted during normal business hours at a location and in a manner reasonably calculated to minimize disruption to such Persons, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and the Company Group and its Subsidiaries, as applicable. Each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, agrees to reimburse the other applicable Party for such Party’s reasonable, documented costs and expenses (internal or out-of-pocket), including attorneys’ fees, but excluding officers’ or employees’ salaries, incurred by the other Party in connection with providing individuals and witnesses pursuant to this Section 7.27; provided that no Party shall have any obligations to cooperate pursuant to this Section 7.27 in connection with a claim against it or its Subsidiary by the other Party or its Subsidiaries.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 10.12, each of Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that their respective rights and obligations to maintain, preserve, assert or waive any attorney-client, business strategy, joint defense, common interest, and/or work product privileges belonging to either such Party with respect to the Business or the Company Group (collectively, “Privileges”) shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 7.27(b). Subject to Section 10.12, after the Closing, Purchaser shall have sole authority to determine whether to assert or waive any Privileges with respect to matters arising solely from, or primarily relating to, the Business or the Company Group.

(c) If Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, or Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including, as of the Closing, the Company Group), (i) receives any subpoena, discovery or other request from any Person that calls for the production or disclosure of information arguably subject to any applicable Privileges (“Privileged Information”) of the other applicable Party or any of their Subsidiaries (including, in the case of Purchaser, as of the Closing, the Company Group or the Business) or (ii) obtains knowledge that any current or former employee of the Company Group or the Business or of any Affiliates of the Company Group or Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including, as of the Closing, the Company Group or the Business) has received any subpoena, discovery or other request from any Person that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of one or more of the other Parties, or any of their Subsidiaries (including, as of the Closing, the Company Group or the Business), such Party, shall promptly notify the other applicable Party of the existence of the request and shall provide such other applicable Party a reasonable opportunity to review the subpoena, discovery or other request and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 7.27 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of Privileged Information. The access to information being granted pursuant to this Agreement, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to this Section 7.27 and the disclosure to the Parties of Privileged Information, if any, relating to the Business or the Company Group pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be asserted by Seller or Purchaser to constitute, or otherwise deemed, a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section 7.27 or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller, the Company Group and the Purchaser and their controlled Affiliates (A) agrees that it will not bring or support any Legal Proceeding against the Debt Financing Source Related Parties in any way relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter, the definitive documentation for the Debt Financing, the Debt Financing or the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby, in any forum other than exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof), (B) submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (C) agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at its address provided in this Agreement shall be effective service of process against it for any such action brought in any such court, (D) waives and hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such action in any such court and (E) agrees that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

10.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto), any Ancillary Agreements hereto and the Confidentiality Agreement represent the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral (including, in the case of any conflict, the Contribution Agreements).

No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of a Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of a Party to exercise, and no delay by a Party in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof by such Party, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by a Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy by such Party.

connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) shall be governed by the Laws, both procedural and substantive, of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of laws provisions that if applied might require the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.

10.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to supplement or amend this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.8 Binding Effect; No Third Party Beneficiaries; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person other than the Parties, except as provided in Section 7.7 and 10.12; provided, that the Debt Financing Source Related Parties are express third party beneficiaries of the Xerox Provisions. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either Seller or Purchaser, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other Party and any

attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided that Purchaser may assign its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement to any Debt Financing Source or any Affiliate thereof as collateral security in connection with the Debt Financing. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the Parties of any such obligations. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

10.9 Specific Performance. Subject to Section 4.4 and this Section 10.9, each Party acknowledges and agrees that the subject matter of this Agreement is unique, that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached, and that the remedies at Law would not be adequate to compensate any Party. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, subject to Section 4.4 and this Section 10.9, the other Party will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including to enforce the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to this Agreement) in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled (without any requirement that any Party provide any bond or other security). Each Party waives any defense that a remedy at Law is adequate and any requirement to post bond or provide similar security in connection with Legal Proceedings instituted for injunctive relief or specific performance of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties hereto agree that Seller shall be entitled to obtain specific performance to enforce specifically the Purchaser’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby if, and only in the event that, (A) all conditions in Section 8.1 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Purchaser) have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing but which conditions are capable of being satisfied at the Closing) and Purchaser fails to complete the Closing when required pursuant to this Agreement, (B) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing, and (C) Seller has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Purchaser that when specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, Seller will take such actions within its control to cause the Closing to occur. While Seller and Purchaser may pursue both a grant of specific performance to the extent permitted by this Section 10.9 and the payment of the Termination Fee as provided by Section 4.4(a), under no circumstances shall Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both such grant of specific performance and payment of the Termination Fee.

10.10 Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be made against, the Parties (and the Company Group with respect to Section 7.19). Other than the Parties, no past, present or future incorporator, member, stockholder, partner, Affiliate or Representative of Seller or Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives (collectively, the “Non-Contract Persons”), shall have any liability or obligation for any Liabilities (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, 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 the Ancillary Agreements or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or their negotiation, execution, performance, or breach; and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such other Non-Contract Person; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the foregoing be deemed to limit the liability or obligation of any Non-Contract Person under any Ancillary Agreement to which such Non-Contract Person is a party or any other Surviving Arrangement to which such Non-Contract Person is a party. In no event will Seller, its Affiliates and each of their (and their respective Affiliates’) stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees, controlling persons, agents and representatives seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from any Debt Financing Source Related Party, or seek to enforce the commitments against, make any claims for breach of the commitments contained in the Debt Commitment Letter against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, or otherwise bring any claim, cause of action, action, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description whether in law or in equity, whether in tort, contract or otherwise, against, any Debt Financing Source Related Party for any reason, in each case to the extent based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the definitive documentation for the Debt Financing, the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Seller, its Affiliates and each of their (and their respective Affiliates’) stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees, controlling persons, agents and representatives hereby waives any and all claims and causes of action, whether in law or equity, whether in tort, contract or otherwise, against the Debt Financing Source Related Parties that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the definitive documentation for the Debt Financing, the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, that nothing in this Section 10.10 will limit Purchaser’s rights against the Debt Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letter and the definitive documentation for the Debt Financing. No Debt Financing Source Related Party shall be subject to any special, consequential, punitive or indirect damages or damages of a tortious nature.

10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures transmitted by facsimile or electronic delivery in .pdf format will be deemed originals for purposes of this Agreement.

10.12 Waiver of Conflicts; Transaction Privilege.

(a) Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxxx LLP and in house counsel of Seller and Univar Solutions Inc. (the “Seller Legal Counsel”) has represented Seller and certain of its Affiliates (including the Company Group) in connection with various matters, including the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, and that Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) (each a “Seller Group Member” and collectively, the “Seller Group Members”) have a reasonable expectation that, after the Closing, the Seller Legal Counsel will represent them in connection with various
