Immediately after the issuance of the Additional Shares, all references in this Agreement to the “Common Shares” shall be deemed to include the Additional Shares. The Additional Shares shall be deemed to have been issued at the Closing and shall be equal in number to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been required to have been issued to Buyers at the Closing in order for the representation and warranty set forth in clause (iv) of Section 3.4 to have been correct at the Closing less the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to Buyers at the Closing.

(c) In connection with any issuances of Additional Shares pursuant to this Section 2.6, Deltek shall take all action necessary to cause its articles of incorporation to be amended to increase the authorized capital of Deltek to permit such issuances.

Except for a Shareholder that is not a permissible shareholder of an S Corporation under Section 1361 of the Code (the “Non-Qualified S Corporation Shareholder”), all requirements for making the election to treat Deltek as an S Corporation (the “S Election”) for federal Tax purposes were satisfied at the time the election was made and the election was timely filed and in effect for all taxable years of Deltek for which federal and state income tax returns were filed based upon the continued validity of such S Election. Except for the Non Qualified S Corporation Shareholder, each other Shareholder is a permitted shareholder of an S Corporation under Section 1361 of the Code and the Shareholders collectively (though with differing ownership interests from time to time during this period) are and have been at all times during which the S Election has been in effect, the sole shareholders of Deltek. Deltek has, and at all times from and after January 1, 2003, has had, only one class of common stock and does not have any outstanding options, contracts or other instruments which would constitute a second class of stock within the meaning of Section 1361(b)(1)(D) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder.

(ii) Except for the Non-Qualified S Corporation Shareholder, Deltek and the Shareholders (and any former shareholder of Deltek) have made all elections and filings necessary for the Subchapter S election and Subchapter S treatment of Deltek to be recognized at all times from and after January 1, 2003, for state income tax purposes in each state where it files income Tax Returns as an S corporation. Subject to Deltek’s receipt of the Ruling Relief, the status of Deltek for state tax purposes in each state where it files Tax Returns is set forth in Section 3.24(b)(ii) of the Deltek Disclosure Schedule. Section 3.24(b)(ii) of the Deltek Disclosure Schedule sets forth those states in which Deltek has filed Composite Tax Returns on behalf of its shareholders, and the shareholders included in each of such returns.

(ix) Neither Deltek nor any Subsidiary is a party to any tax-sharing agreement, or similar agreement, the principal purpose of which agreement is to allocate tax liabilities for which the parties would otherwise be jointly liable, including any terminated agreement, as to which it could have any continuing liabilities after the Closing.

(x) Neither Deltek nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any closing agreement with any Taxing Authority under Section 7121 of the Code (or any comparable provision of state, local, or foreign law) that would have any effect on any Tax liability of Deltek or its Subsidiaries not yet required to have been paid.

(xi) Neither Deltek nor any of its Subsidiaries has made an election, nor are either of them required, to treat any asset as (A) owned by another person pursuant to the provisions of Section 168(f) or (g) of the Code, or the safe harbor leasing provisions of the Code, or (B) tax-exempt bond-financed property or tax-exempt use property within the meaning of Section 168 of the Code.

the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of Deltek and each Subsidiary in filing its Tax Returns.

(xiii) Other than as a result of the operations of the Subsidiaries, Deltek does not have a “permanent establishment” in any foreign country as such term is defined in any applicable Tax treaty or convention between the United States and such foreign country, nor has Deltek or a Subsidiary otherwise taken steps or conducted business operations that will expose it to the taxing jurisdiction of a foreign country. Deltek and each Subsidiary have complied in all respects with all material applicable Tax Laws and regulations of each country (including political subdivisions thereof) in which Deltek or such Subsidiary has performed services.

(xiv) Deltek and each Subsidiary has collected or withheld and paid all material Taxes required to have been collected or withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder, or other third party.

(xvi) Neither Deltek nor any of its Subsidiaries is or has been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the applicable period specified in Code Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii).

(xvii) Neither Deltek nor any of its Subsidiaries has agreed, nor are either of them required, to make any adjustment to taxable income in any period after the Closing under Section 481(a) of the Code by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise that will affect the Liability of Deltek or any Subsidiary for Taxes in any taxable period after the Closing Date, except as provided in Section 3.24(b)(xvii) of the Deltek Disclosure Schedule.

(xviii) Except as provided in Section 3.24(b)(xviii) of the Deltek Disclosure Schedule, there are no joint ventures, partnerships, limited liability companies or other arrangements or contracts to which Deltek or any of its Subsidiaries is a party that is required to be treated as a partnership for federal income Tax purposes.

(xix) The Contemplated Transactions, either by themselves or in conjunction with any other transaction that Deltek or any of its Subsidiaries may have entered into or agreed to, will not give rise to any federal income tax Liability under Section 355(e) of the Code for which Deltek or any of its Subsidiaries may in any way be held liable.

3.25.

Insurance.

Each of Deltek and the Subsidiaries maintains the general liability, professional liability, product liability, fire, casualty, motor vehicle, workers’ compensation, and other types of insurance shown in Section 3.25 of the Deltek Disclosure Schedule, which insurance is in full force and effect and, to the Knowledge of Deltek, comprised of the types and in the amounts customarily carried by businesses of similar size in the same industry.

To the extent permitted by Law (i) all such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice of Deltek and the Subsidiaries and (ii) all such Tax Returns in respect of taxable periods beginning prior to the Closing Date shall be prepared and filed on the basis that the relevant taxable period ended as of the close of business on the day before the Closing Date. At least 30 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of any such Tax Returns that are Income Tax Returns or Composite Tax Returns and that are due at least 40 days after the Closing Date, Deltek shall deliver the applicable Tax Return(s) to Shareholders’ Representative for its approval not to be unreasonably withheld (Deltek shall use its reasonable efforts to deliver any such Tax Returns that are due within the 40 days at least 10 days prior to the due date thereof). For this purpose, the Shareholders’ Representative’s withholding of approval of a Tax Return with respect to a period that ends on or before the Closing Date, based upon Deltek’s failure to adopt in such Tax Return an alternative reporting position suggested by the Shareholders’ Representative, shall be deemed reasonable if the reporting position proposed by the Shareholders’ Representative on such Tax Return has a “reasonable basis,” as defined in Section 6662 of the Code and is not inconsistent with past practice. In the event of a disagreement between Deltek and Shareholders’ Representative, Deltek and Shareholders’ Representative shall select a certified public accountant, which may include the certified public accountant currently used by Deltek, to resolve such dispute and the decision of such certified public accountant shall be binding on both Deltek and Shareholders’ Representative. Deltek shall timely pay all Taxes shown due with respect to Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date and shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for such Taxes which are Shareholders’ Taxes within two (2) days of the payment thereof (such payment to be by wire transfer to the account of Deltek); provided that reimbursement for any Composite Taxes shall be made immediately out of the Escrow to the extent provided in Section 9.2(b)(iii).

(i) Deltek and the Shareholders shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 5.10 and any audit or other Litigation with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit or other Litigation and making

employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Deltek and the Shareholders agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Deltek relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Deltek or the Shareholders’ Representative, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (B) to give the other reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other so requests, Deltek or the Shareholders, as the case may be, shall allow the other to take possession of such books and records.

(ii) Deltek and the Shareholders further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the Contemplated Transactions).

(iii) Deltek and the Shareholders further agree, upon request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code and all Treasury Department Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d) Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (including any transfer or similar tax imposed by any Governmental Authority), shall be paid by Deltek. The party required by Law to do so will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, the other party will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(e) Refunds, Carrybacks and Amended Returns.

(i) Except for refunds or credits resulting from a carryback of an item from a post-Closing period (which shall be for the account of Deltek), any refunds or credits of Taxes of Deltek or any Subsidiary with respect to Shareholders’ Taxes shall be for the account of the Shareholders. Deltek shall pay, or cause the applicable Subsidiary to pay, to Shareholders’ Representative any such refund or credits within fifteen (15) days after the refund is received (or the receipt of the benefit of any credit through a reduction of a Tax payment). Deltek shall file or shall cause any Subsidiary, if Shareholders so request and at Shareholders’ expense, to file for and obtain any refunds or credits with respect to Taxes to which Shareholders are entitled under this Section 5.10(e). Deltek shall permit the Shareholders’ Representative to control the prosecution of any such refund claim and, where deemed appropriate by the Shareholders’ Representative, shall or shall cause any Subsidiary to authorize by appropriate powers of attorney such Persons reasonably satisfactory to Deltek as Shareholders’ Representative shall designate to represent Deltek or any Subsidiary with respect to such refund claim, provided that Deltek may participate in any such proceeding at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholders’ Representative may not settle or otherwise resolve any refund claim that could adversely affect the liability of Deltek or any Subsidiary for Taxes (other than

Shareholders’ Taxes), in respect of any taxable period, without the consent of Deltek (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

(ii) Deltek (or the applicable Subsidiary) shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of any amended Tax Returns for Shareholders’ Tax Periods that are required as a result of examination adjustments made by the IRS or by the applicable state, local, or foreign taxing authorities for such taxable years as finally determined. Any required amended Tax Returns resulting from such Shareholders’ Tax Period examination adjustments, as finally determined, shall be furnished to the Shareholders’ Representative for approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and, if necessary, signature and filing at least 30 days prior to the due date for filing such returns. Nothing in this Section 5.10(e)(ii) shall require Shareholders to amend any Tax Return other than as set forth above.

(f) Covenants.

(i) Deltek shall not and shall not cause or permit any Subsidiary to file an amended Tax Return or Tax election with respect to any taxable period ending prior to the Closing Date unless (i) Deltek is required to do so as a result of a Tax contest; (ii) the Shareholders’ Representative consents in its sole discretion or (iii) Deltek obtains a legal opinion from counsel reasonably acceptable to the Shareholders’ Representative that such amendment is legally required to be filed (provided, further, that such legal opinion may not assume any facts that are disputed in good faith by the Shareholders’ Representative).

(ii) On the Closing Date, Deltek shall not and shall not cause or permit any Subsidiary to effect any extraordinary transactions (including, but not limited to, the distribution of any dividend or the effectuation of any redemption) other than the Contemplated Transactions. On the Closing Date prior to the Closing, the Shareholders shall not cause or permit Deltek or any Subsidiary to effect any extraordinary transactions other than (i) the Contemplated Transactions and (ii) the planned distribution to the Shareholders contemplated by Section 5.1(b)(ix).

(g) Buyers and Shareholders agree to cause Deltek and its Subsidiaries to elect not to apply the pro rata allocation rules to an S termination year pursuant to Section 1362(e)(3) of the Code.

5.11.

Public Announcements.

None of Buyers, Deltek or the Shareholders will issue any press release or make any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions or disclose the existence of this Agreement to any Person or entity, prior to the Closing and, after the Closing, will not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), subject, in each case, to any applicable disclosure obligations pursuant to applicable Law, provided that the party proposing to issue any press release or similar public announcement or communication in compliance with any such disclosure obligations shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other party before doing so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Deltek, the Shareholders (and the Shareholders’ Representative) and Xxxxxxx

Xxxxx shall have the right following the Closing to disclose to the financial community that Deltek has been sold to Buyers; provided that no terms of the Contemplated Transactions shall be disclosed beyond the parties involved and their respective roles, the general nature of the Contemplated Transactions (i.e. a recapitalization) and the Closing Date, and (ii) Buyers shall have the right to disclose to their limited partners, other investors and potential investors the terms of the Contemplated Transactions in accordance with Buyers’ customary practice, and shall have the right to disclose publicly that the Contemplated Transactions were consummated so long as the financial terms are not disclosed.

5.12.

Communications with Customers and Suppliers.

Deltek and Buyers will mutually agree upon all communications with Deltek’s suppliers and customers relating to this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions prior to the Closing Date.

5.13.

Directors and Officers Indemnification.

(a) Article 8 of Deltek’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of four (4) years from the Closing Date in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who at or at any time prior to the Closing Date were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of Deltek.

(b) After the Closing, Deltek shall, to the extent set forth under Article 8 of Deltek’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, but in no event to a greater extent than permitted by Law, indemnify and hold harmless each current and former director or officer of Deltek and each Subsidiary and each such person who served at the request of Deltek or any Subsidiary as a director, officer, trustee, partner, fiduciary, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (collectively, for purposes of this Section 5.13 and Section 11.10 only, the “Indemnified Parties”) against all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and settlement amounts paid in connection with any Litigation (whether arising before or after the Closing Date), whether civil, administrative, criminal or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission in their capacities as officers or directors, in each case occurring before the Closing Date (collectively, “Damages”). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any such Litigation, (i) Deltek shall, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to be indemnified hereunder, pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel selected by the Shareholders’ Representative, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Deltek, promptly after statements therefor are received (unless Deltek shall elect to defend such action) and (ii) Deltek shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any such matter; provided, however, that Deltek shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event that any claim or claims for indemnification are asserted or made within such four-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until the disposition of any and all such claims.

(c) In the event Deltek or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Deltek honor the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 5.13.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in Section 5.13 shall limit Buyers’ remedies under Section 9.2 of this Agreement or otherwise and arising in connection with this Agreement, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply with respect to any Damages or Litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Contemplated Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Shareholder shall have any right under this Section 5.13 to reimbursement from Deltek for any indemnification payment made by such Shareholder pursuant to ARTICLE IX.

5.14.

Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) Vested SARs. At the Closing, to the extent any stock appreciation rights set forth on Exhibit H are vested and have not been previously exercised, such stock appreciation rights shall, pursuant to the terms of the applicable stock appreciation rights plan and agreement be deemed exercised, and the holders thereof (the “Vested SAR Holders”) shall be entitled to receive a payment from Deltek at the Closing in an aggregate amount (the “Closing SAR Payment”) equal to (i) the number of such stock appreciation rights that are deemed exercised multiplied by (ii) the excess of (A) the per share price to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.3 for their shares of Common Stock that are redeemed by Deltek pursuant to this Agreement, as determined in accordance with Exhibit I, over (B) the per share exercise price of such vested stock appreciation rights. Deltek shall calculate and communicate to Buyers the amount of the Closing SAR Payment at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and the portion of the Closing SAR Payment to be paid to each Vested SAR Holder shall be set forth opposite such Vested SAR Holder’s name on a certificate which shall be provided to Buyers by Deltek on such date.

(b) Unvested SARs.

(i) All stock appreciation rights set forth on Exhibit H that are outstanding but unvested as of the Closing (other than those unvested stock appreciation rights held by the management employees listed on Exhibit J hereto) shall be cancelled without payment of consideration therefor in accordance with the applicable stock appreciation right agreement and plan. Buyers acknowledge that Deltek intends to adopt a retention bonus policy, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Buyers, that shall be effective as of the Closing and that shall entitle each holder of a stock appreciation right set forth on Exhibit H, which was unvested as of the Closing and cancelled (other than the management employees listed on Exhibit J), to earn a bonus (a “Retention Bonus”) that shall be paid in four equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Closing so long as such holder (1) was employed by Deltek on the Closing Date, (2) is employed by Deltek or an Affiliate on the anniversary date when such payment is due and (3) has been continuously employed by Deltek or an Affiliate from the Closing Date until such anniversary date. Deltek shall calculate and communicate to Buyers for their review and approval (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the

amount of each such holder’s Retention Bonus at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, which amount shall be set forth opposite such holder’s name on a certificate which shall be provided to Buyers by Deltek on such date. After the Closing, Deltek shall make all Retention Bonus payments contemplated by such retention bonus policy in accordance with such bonus policy.

(ii) All stock appreciation rights listed on Exhibit H that are held by the management employees listed on Exhibit J and are outstanding but unvested as of the Closing shall not be cancelled as contemplated by the applicable stock appreciation right agreement and plan but shall accelerate and be deemed fully vested and exercisable and to have been exercised immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to the applicable Conversion SAR Amendment or SAR Amendment (the “Accelerated SARs”). Deltek shall calculate and communicate to Buyers for their review and approval (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the amount due each such holder pursuant to the applicable Conversion SAR Amendment or SAR Amendment (the “Accelerated SAR Payment”) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, which amount shall be set forth opposite such holder’s name on a certificate which shall be provided to Buyers by Deltek on such date. After the Closing, Deltek shall pay such holder the Accelerated SAR Payment in accordance with the terms of the Conversion SAR Amendment or SAR Amendment applicable to such holder.

(iii) The aggregate amount of Retention Bonuses and Accelerated SAR Payments (before withholding) shall not exceed $6,450,000 less (x) 60% of the Additional Vested SAR Amount and (y) the aggregate amount, if any, forfeited by holders of such stock appreciation rights upon termination of employment for “Cause” or without “Good Reason.”

(c) Withholding. Deltek shall have the right to deduct from any amount payable under this Section 5.14 or any agreement or plan referred to herein any Taxes or other amounts required by applicable Law to be withheld.

(d) Offset. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Deltek shall take all steps necessary so that any amounts owed to Deltek or any of the Subsidiaries by any of their officers or employees under any outstanding loan or payroll advance, including those disclosed in Section 3.11 of the Deltek Disclosure Schedule, shall be offset, first, against the Closing SAR Payment, and, second, if necessary, against the Retention Bonus or Accelerated SAR Payment, as applicable, payable to such officer or employee.

5.15.

Indebtedness for Borrowed Money.

Deltek shall, and the Shareholders shall cause Deltek and the Subsidiaries to, pay prior to the Closing any and all Outstanding Indebtedness (other than with respect to letters of credit that have not been drawn down) so that immediately after the Closing neither Deltek nor any Subsidiary shall have any obligation to repay any such Outstanding Indebtedness.

In addition, between the Effective Date and the Closing, Deltek shall, and the Shareholders shall cause Deltek to, prepare and deliver to Buyers as soon as practicable after the end of each month, unaudited consolidated financial statements of Deltek and the Subsidiaries prepared on the same basis as the Most Recent Unaudited Financial Statements for such month and a report of the Gross Software Bookings for such month.

Non-Solicitation.

Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, none of Deltek, its Subsidiaries or the Shareholders shall solicit or facilitate (including by way of providing information regarding Deltek, its Subsidiaries or their businesses to any Person or providing access to any Person) any inquiries, discussions or proposals regarding, continue or enter into negotiations looking toward, or enter into or consummate any agreement or understanding in connection with any proposal regarding, any purchase or other acquisition of all or any portion of Deltek or its Subsidiaries (other than the ordinary course of business sale of products or services) or any Capital Stock (whether newly issued or currently outstanding) of Deltek or any of the Subsidiaries, any merger, business combination or recapitalization involving Deltek or any of the Subsidiaries, the liquidation, dissolution or reorganization of Deltek or any of the Subsidiaries, or any similar transaction; and the Shareholders and Deltek shall cause Deltek’s and the Subsidiaries’ directors, officers, representatives and Affiliates to refrain from any of the foregoing. The Shareholders’ Representative shall promptly notify Buyers if any such inquiries or proposals are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, Deltek, any of the Subsidiaries, any Shareholder or any of their respective representatives, including the nature and terms of any of the foregoing and the identity of the parties involved.

5.18.

5.19.

Legends.

Each certificate representing the Series A Preferred Stock shall bear a legend containing the following words:

Each certificate representing shares of Common Stock (including the Common Shares and any new certificates issued to the Shareholders at or after Closing) shall bear a legend containing the following words:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH ACT OR LAWS AND EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF A SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPANY, A COPY OF WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY.”

Each certificate representing the Debentures shall bear a legend as provided for in the form of such Debenture attached hereto. The requirement that the above legends (as they relate to registration under the Securities Act) be placed upon certificates evidencing any such securities shall cease and terminate upon the earliest of the following events: (i) when such securities are transferred in an underwritten public offering, (ii) when such securities are transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (iii) if the holder delivers to Deltek an opinion of its counsel or a “no-action” letter from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in either case to the effect that registration under the Securities Act is not required upon any sale or other disposition of such shares. The requirement that the above legends (as they relate to the Shareholders’ Agreement) be placed upon certificates evidencing any such securities shall cease and terminate upon the termination of the Shareholders’ Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, Deltek, upon the surrender of certificates containing such legend, shall, at its own expense, deliver to the holder of any such securities as to which the requirement for such legend shall have terminated, one or more new certificates evidencing such securities not bearing the legend which is no longer applicable.

(New York time) on the date that is the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, and all liability with respect to such representations and warranties shall thereupon be extinguished (except to the extent a claim for indemnification has been made prior to such time for any breach thereof); provided that the representations and warranties of the Shareholders set forth in (a) Section 3.24 (Tax Matters) shall continue in full force and effect until 30 days after all applicable statutes of limitations, including waivers and extensions, have expired with respect to the matters addressed therein; (b) Sections 3.1(a) and (b)(ii) (Organization and Power), Section 3.2 (Authorization and Enforceability), Section 3.3(a) (Capitalization of Deltek), Section 3.4 (Ownership at Closing), Section 3.10 (Relationship with Affiliates), Section 3.11 (Indebtedness to and from Officers and Directors of Deltek), Section 3.20(b) (Certain Litigation), Section 3.28 (No Broker), the first sentence of Section 4.1 (Organization and Power), Section 4.2 (Authorization), Section 4.3 (Enforceability), Section 4.8 (Brokers), Section 4.9 (Investment; Securities Laws) and Section 4.10 (Accredited Investor) shall survive indefinitely; and (c) Section 3.18 (Environmental Matters) shall survive until the third anniversary of the Closing Date (except to the extent a claim for indemnification has been made prior to such time for any breach thereof) (the representations and warranties of the Shareholders referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) are collectively referred to as the “Surviving Representations”). All covenants and agreements contained herein shall survive the Closing indefinitely.

9.2

Indemnification.

(a) By Buyers. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof relating to the survival of representations and warranties and the other limitations contained herein, from and after the Closing, Buyers, severally in proportion to their respective portions of the Investment Amount, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shareholders, their Affiliates, and their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, representatives, successors and any assigns of any of the foregoing (“Shareholder Indemnitees”) against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, interest and penalties, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, losses resulting from the defense, settlement and/or compromise of a claim and/or demand and/or assessment, reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and expert witnesses’ fees, costs and expenses of investigation, and the costs and expenses of enforcing the indemnification provided hereunder (hereafter individually a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) incurred by any of the Shareholder Indemnitees (after deduction of the amount of any insurance proceeds recovered by the Shareholder Indemnitees) arising out of or relating to: (A) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyers in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (B) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Buyers contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to direct claims made by a Shareholder Indemnitee against Buyers, damages shall constitute Losses for the purpose of this Section 9.2(a) only to the extent of the direct damages incurred by the Shareholder Indemnitee (excluding consequential damages, whether or not foreseeable), but Buyers shall be liable for all damages (including consequential damages) that form part of a third party claim against a Shareholder Indemnitee.

(b) By the Shareholders.

(i) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1 relating to the survival of representations and warranties and the other limitations contained herein, from and after the Closing, the Shareholders severally, in proportion to the Shareholders’ Proportionate Interests, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyers, their Affiliates, and the officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Buyer Indemnitees”) against all Losses incurred by any of Buyer Indemnitees (after deduction of the amount of any insurance proceeds recovered by the Buyer Indemnitees) and arising out of or relating to: (A) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Shareholders in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (B) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Shareholders contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (C) any breach by Deltek of any covenant, agreement or obligation contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and required to be performed or complied with by Deltek prior to the Closing, (D) Shareholders’ Taxes, (E) any employee severance obligations incurred by Deltek or any Subsidiary arising out of the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (including under the Executive Severance Agreements and Severance Agreements) other than those obligations incurred under Section 5.14(b)(ii), and (F) any Losses arising out of or relating to claims made by holders of Deltek’s stock appreciation rights that in any way relate to the consideration paid to such holders with respect to the exercise or termination of their stock appreciation rights in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to direct claims made by a Buyer

Indemnitee against the Shareholders, damages shall constitute Losses for the purpose of this Section 9.2(b) only to the extent of the direct damages incurred by the Buyer Indemnitee (excluding consequential damages, whether or not foreseeable), but the Shareholders shall be liable for all damages (including consequential damages) that form part of a third party claim against a Buyer Indemnitee. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Losses shall not include, and the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Shareholders under this Section 9.2(b) with respect to (i) any restatement of Deltek’s financial statements after the Closing to conform Deltek’s revenue recognition policy or Deltek’s manner of amortizing Software development costs with GAAP, (ii) any other adjustment after the Closing to Deltek’s financial statements that has a non-cash impact on Deltek and solely relates to shifting amounts from one year to the immediately succeeding year or the immediately preceding year, (iii) any Patent Infringement Losses attributable to periods from and after the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date, (iv) any Patent Infringement Losses in excess of $10 million in the aggregate that are attributable to periods prior to the Closing or to periods from and after the Closing but prior to the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date, or (v) up to $50,000 of legal fees and expenses incurred by Deltek in defending or settling any Patent Infringement Claim.

(ii) The Shareholders shall be responsible for (i) all Income Taxes of Deltek and the Subsidiaries with respect to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, (ii) all Income Taxes of Deltek and the Subsidiaries with respect to the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the day before the Closing Date (such liability to be determined on a closing-of-the-books method), (iii) Income Taxes in respect of any taxable period that ends on, before or includes the Closing Date for which Deltek or any Subsidiary is liable pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-6 (or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign Law), (iv) all Composite Taxes of Deltek and the Subsidiaries with respect to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and with respect to all Straddle Periods and (v) all Other Taxes of Deltek and the Subsidiaries that were required to have been paid at any time on or before the Closing Date (all such Taxes, “Shareholders’ Taxes”). Such obligations shall be without regard to whether there was any breach of any representation or warranty under ARTICLE III with respect to such Tax or any disclosures that may have been made with respect to ARTICLE III or otherwise.

(iii) Any liability of the Shareholders pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(ii) in respect of Composite Taxes shall be paid out of the balance in the Escrow not otherwise reserved for indemnification claims made against the Escrow under this Section 9.2; provided that if the balance in the Escrow is insufficient or if the Escrow has terminated, such liability shall be paid (without duplication) directly by the Shareholders.

(c) Limitations on Rights of Buyer Indemnitees. Except as set forth below, the Shareholders shall not be required to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees with respect to any claim for indemnification resulting from or arising out of matters described in Section 9.2(b)(i)(A) unless and until the aggregate amount of all such claims against Buyer Indemnitees for such matters exceeds $3,000,000, in which event Buyer Indemnitees will be entitled to recover all Losses resulting from or arising out of such matters to the extent the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $3,000,000; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to a claim for indemnification to the extent such claim is based upon a breach of any of the Surviving

Representations or fraud; and provided further, that the Shareholders’ maximum liability to Buyer Indemnitees under Section 9.2(b)(i)(A) shall not exceed $75,000,000 in the aggregate, except for claims based upon a breach of any of the Surviving Representations (other than representations and warranties of the Shareholders set forth in Section 3.18 (Environmental Matters)) or fraud. In no event shall the Shareholders’ maximum liability to Buyer Indemnitees under Section 9.2(b)(i)(A) exceed in the aggregate the amount of the Redemption Consideration plus the Closing SAR Payment. The maximum liability of each Shareholder to Buyer Indemnitees under Section 9.2(b)(i)(A) will not exceed such Shareholder’s Proportionate Interest of the maximum aggregate liability of all Shareholders to Buyer Indemnitees under Section 9.2(b)(i)(A).

(d) Procedure.

(i) Third-Party Actions (Other than Tax Contests).

(1) If either a Buyer Indemnitee, on the one hand, or a Shareholder Indemnitee, on the other hand (the “Indemnitee”), receives notice or otherwise obtains knowledge of any matter or any threatened matter that may give rise to an indemnification claim against the other party (the “Indemnitor”), then the Indemnitee shall promptly deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice describing such matter in reasonable detail. The failure to make timely delivery of such written notice by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability under this Section 9.2 with respect to such matter, except to the extent the Indemnitor is actually materially prejudiced by failure to give such notice. The Indemnitor shall have the right, at its option, to assume the defense of any such matter with its own counsel, but only if the Indemnitor simultaneously agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee for such matter. If the Indemnitor elects to assume the defense of and indemnification for any such matter, then:

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall not be required to pay or otherwise indemnify the Indemnitee against any attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with such matter following the Indemnitor’s election to assume the defense of such matter, unless (i) the Indemnitor fails to defend diligently the action or proceeding within ten (10) days after receiving notice of such failure from the Indemnitee; (ii) the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnitee or other Indemnitees that are not available to the Indemnitor; or (iii) the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that, with respect to such claims, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor may have different, conflicting, or adverse legal positions or interests;

(B) the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnitor all books, records and other documents and materials that are under the direct or indirect control of the Indemnitee or any of the Indemnitee’s agents and that the Indemnitor considers necessary or desirable for the defense of such matter;

(C) the Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary

or, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitor, desirable to the defense of, or any settlement, compromise or adjustment relating to, such matter consistent with the other provisions hereof, including (x) supplying such factual and technical information as the Indemnitee shall possess as the Indemnitor shall reasonably request, (y) making available to the Indemnitor persons employed by the Indemnitee, and (z) maintaining in existence and making available to the Indemnitor books, records and files of the Indemnitee relating to any potential claim. Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitee for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and other costs incurred by Indemnitee in the performance of its obligations under this Section 9.2(d)(i)(1)(C);

(D) the Indemnitee shall otherwise fully cooperate as reasonably requested by the Indemnitor in the defense of such matter;

(E) the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to such matter; and

(F) the Indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any pending or threatened Litigation in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such Litigation) or consent to the entry of any judgment (i) which does not, to the extent that the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates may have any liability with respect to such Litigation, include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a written release of the Indemnitee and its Affiliates from all liability in respect of such Litigation, (ii) which includes any statement as to or an admission of fact, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, or (iii) in any manner that involves any injunctive relief against the Indemnitee or may materially and adversely affect the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates.

If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of and indemnification for such matter, then the Indemnitee shall proceed diligently to defend such matter with the assistance of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor, provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not settle, adjust or compromise such matter, or admit any liability with respect to such matter, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(2) The procedures in Section 9.2(d)(i) shall not apply to (A) matters subject to Section 9.2(d)(ii) (Tax Contests) and (B) direct claims of Shareholder Indemnitees and Buyer Indemnitees against Buyers and the Shareholders, respectively, under Section 9.2 that are not based upon claims asserted by third parties.

(ii) Tax Contests.

(1) The party obliged to provide indemnification for Taxes under Section 9.2(a) or 9.2(b) (the “Tax Indemnitor”) shall assume and direct the defense or settlement of any hearing, arbitration, suit, audit or other proceeding (each a “Tax Contest”) commenced, filed or otherwise initiated or convened to investigate or resolve the existence and extent of a liability with respect to which the Tax Indemnitor would have an indemnification obligation under Section 9.2(a) or 9.2(b) (“Tax Indemnification Liability”). The party entitled to

be indemnified under this Section 9.2(d)(ii) (the “Tax Indemnitee”) shall have the right to participate, at its own cost and expense, in the defense of such Tax Contest, it being understood that the Tax Indemnitor shall control such Tax Contest.

(2) The Tax Indemnitor shall pay all out-of-pocket expenses and other costs related to the Tax Indemnification Liability, including but not limited to reasonable fees for attorneys, accountants, expert witnesses or other consultants retained by the Tax Indemnitor and/or Tax Indemnitee, and incurred at any time during which the Tax Indemnitor is controlling and directing the Tax Contest in respect of which such fees are incurred. To the extent that any such expenses and other costs have been or are paid by a Tax Indemnitee, the Tax Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Tax Indemnitee therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing two sentences, the Tax Indemnitor shall not be required to pay, reimburse or otherwise indemnify the Tax Indemnitee against any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees for attorneys, accountants, expert witnesses or other consultants) and other costs incurred on behalf of the Tax Indemnitee in connection with a Tax Contest following the Tax Indemnitor’s assumption of the control and defense of the Tax Context, unless (i) the Tax Indemnitor fails to defend diligently the Tax Contest within ten (10) days after receiving notice of such failure from the Tax Indemnitee; (ii) the Tax Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Tax Indemnitee or other Tax Indemnitees that are not available to the Tax Indemnitor; or (iii) the Tax Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel or accountants) that, with respect to such claims, the Tax Indemnitee and the Tax Indemnitor may have different, conflicting, or adverse legal positions or interests (including without limitation, differing, conflicting or adverse interests that may arise because the same or similar issues, which are the subject of the claim, will, or will likely, be present in respect of periods ending after the Closing Date and the conduct of the Tax Contest or resolution of the claim may adversely affect the outcome of future potential Tax Contests with respect to such same or similar issues for which the Tax Indemnitee is not fully indemnified by the Tax Indemnitor pursuant to Sections 9.2(a) or 9.2(b)).

(3) Any Tax Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Tax Indemnitor of any settlement proposed by the Taxing Authority. The Tax Indemnitor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to settle any claim for which indemnification has been sought under this Section 9.2(d)(ii); provided, however, that the Tax Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement, closing agreement or other agreement with respect to any Tax liability without the prior written consent of the Tax Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such settlement, closing agreement or other agreement will adversely affect Taxes payable by the Tax Indemnitee or its Affiliates for taxable periods or portions thereof beginning after the Closing Date.

(4) Any indemnity payment that would otherwise be required to be made by a Tax Indemnitor shall be reduced to the extent that, as a result of the Tax Contest relating to such payment, the Tax Indemnitee shall be entitled to a deduction, loss, credit, refund, or other tax benefit (each a “Tax Benefit”), in the case where Deltek is the Tax Indemnitee, in respect of a taxable period which is not a Shareholder Tax Period. The amount of such reduction shall be the present value of such Tax Benefit to the Tax Indemnitee using a discount rate of 8%

and taking into account the Tax Indemnitee’s reasonable projections of its ability to utilize such deduction, loss or credit to actually reduce its projected Tax liability.

(e) Costs Related to Direct Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.2 to the contrary, except (i) as otherwise may be ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) in connection with the enforcement of a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party is entitled to indemnification hereunder and (iii) in connection with a claim for fraud, Buyer Indemnitees and Shareholder Indemnitees shall bear their own costs, including counsel fees and expenses, incurred in connection with direct claims against the Shareholders and Buyers, respectively, hereunder that are not based upon claims asserted by third parties.

(f) Exclusivity. Should the Closing occur, the right of each party hereto to assert indemnification claims and receive indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be the sole and exclusive right and remedy exercisable by such party with respect to any breach by the other party hereto of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document except in the case of fraud.

(g) Subrogation. To the extent that the Indemnitor makes or is required to make any indemnification payment to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to exercise, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that the Indemnitee or any of the Indemnitee’s Affiliates may have against any other Person with respect to any Losses to which such indemnification payment is directly related, so long as the Indemnitee is not adversely affected thereby. The Indemnitee shall permit the Indemnitor to use the name of the Indemnitee and the names of the Indemnitee’s Affiliates in any transaction or in any proceeding or other matter involving any of such rights or remedies; and the Indemnitee shall take such actions as the Indemnitor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Indemnitee to perfect or exercise the Indemnitor’s right of subrogation hereunder.

(h) Indemnification Payments as Investment Amount Adjustment. Any payments made by Buyers or Deltek under this Section 9.2 shall be considered an increase to the Redemption Consideration. Any payments made by the Shareholders to Buyers under this Section 9.2 shall be considered a reduction of the portion of the Investment Amount allocable to the Common Shares purchased by Buyers, and any payments made by the Shareholders to Deltek under this Section 9.2 shall be considered a reduction of the Redemption Consideration.

(i) No Materiality. For purposes of indemnification under this Section 9.2, each of the representations and warranties that contain any qualifications as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (or any correlative terms) shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no such qualifications in determining whether there has been any breach of any representations or warranties hereunder.

(j) Allocation of Payments among Buyer Indemnitees. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any Loss suffered by Buyers, any indemnity payment required under this Section 9.2 shall be paid to the appropriate Buyer. In the event of any Loss suffered by Deltek, any indemnity payment required under this Section 9.2 shall be paid to Deltek.

9.3

No Set-Off.

Except as provided in Section 2.4(c), neither Buyers nor the Shareholders shall have any right to set-off any indemnification obligations that either may have under Section 9.2 against any other obligations or amounts due to Buyers or the Shareholders, as applicable, including, without limitation, under any other provisions of this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, including the Debentures.

9.4

Retention of Records.

From and after the Effective Date, Buyers and the Shareholders shall preserve all books, records and other documents, materials and information (“Representation Records”) relevant to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement for a period of three years following the Effective Date or for such longer period as the rights of the parties hereunder may exist. After Buyers and the Shareholders are no longer obligated to retain the Representation Records pursuant to this Section 9.4, Buyers or the Shareholders, as applicable, shall give the other Party not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice before destroying any Representation Records and, if the other Party so requests, shall deliver at the other Party’s expense, such Representation Records to the other Party instead of destroying such Representation Records.

9.5

No Investigation of Deltek.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) no investigation of Deltek and the Subsidiaries by Buyers or their representatives or advisors (or any knowledge of Buyers or their representatives or advisors) prior to or after the Effective Date shall, and (ii) the delivery by Buyers of any document, waiver or other instrument or written communication hereunder (other than the Deltek Disclosure Schedule delivered to Buyers on the Effective Date) shall not, diminish, obviate or cure any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Deltek or the Shareholders contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents.

Article X.

Should any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent: (a) such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, and only to the extent, of such unenforceability or prohibition and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Law; (b) such unenforceability or prohibition in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision as applied (i) to other Persons or circumstances or (ii) in any other jurisdiction; and (c) such unenforceability or prohibition shall not affect or invalidate any other provision of this Agreement.

11.8

Amendment.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the terms hereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented or modified orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by Buyers and the Shareholders’ Representative; provided, that, the observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived in writing by the party that will lose the benefit of such provision as a result of such waiver.

11.9

Effect of Waiver or Consent.

No waiver or consent, express or implied, by any party to or of any breach or default by any party in the performance by such party of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such party of the same or any other obligations of such party hereunder. No single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any right or power, shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Failure on the part of a party to complain of any act of any party or to declare any party in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its rights hereunder until the applicable statute of limitation period has run.

11.10

Parties in Interest; Limitation on Rights of Others.

The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns and as expressly provided herein) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any covenants, conditions or provisions contained herein, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise; provided, that Indemnified Parties, Buyer Indemnitees or Shareholder Indemnitees who are not otherwise a party to this Agreement shall be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

11.11

Assignability; Management Rights.

(a) This Agreement shall not be assigned by Deltek or any Shareholder without the prior written consent of Buyers. Prior to Closing, this Agreement shall not be assigned by Buyers without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, provided, however, that either Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of such Buyer, which assignment shall not relieve such Buyer of its obligations hereunder. Following the Closing, either Buyer may assign any and all of its rights under this Agreement to any purchaser or other transferee of any of its Debentures, Common Shares, and/or shares of Series A Preferred Stock, but no such assignment shall relieve such Buyer of its obligations hereunder.

(b) Deltek agrees that, at any time after the Closing, upon the request of a Buyer and in connection with any sale or other transfer by such Buyer of any Debentures, Common Shares or shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Deltek shall: (i) provide each transferee with management rights substantially similar to those provided to NMP in the Management Rights Letter, if such rights would facilitate the transferee’s ability to meet or comply with any regulatory or legal requirement or standard, including such rights as are necessary to cause the investment by the transferee to constitute a “venture capital investment” for purposes of the Department of Labor’s “plan assets regulation”, (ii) provide such transferee with such other rights as may be reasonably necessary for such transferee to comply with any other regulatory

scheme to which such transferee may be subject and (iii) take any actions reasonably necessary to effectuate or facilitate such sale or transfer to such transferee.

11.12

Jurisdiction; Court Proceedings; Waiver of Jury Trial.

Any Litigation against any party to this Agreement arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought in any federal or state court located in the State of New York in New York County and each of the parties hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such Litigation. A final judgment in any such Litigation shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. To the extent that service of process by mail is permitted by applicable Law, each party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such Litigation in such courts by the mailing of such process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address for notices provided for herein. Each party irrevocably agrees not to assert (a) any objection which it may ever have to the laying of venue of any such Litigation in any federal or state court located in the State of New York in New York County and (b) any claim that any such Litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party waives any right to a trial by jury, to the extent lawful, and agrees that any of them may file a copy of this paragraph with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained-for agreement among the parties irrevocably to waive its right to trial by jury in any Litigation whatsoever between them relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.13

No Other Duties.

The only duties and obligations of the parties under this Agreement are as specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no other duties or obligations shall be implied in fact, Law or equity, or under any principle of fiduciary obligation.

11.14

Reliance on Counsel and Other Advisors.

Each party has consulted such legal, financial, technical or other expert as it deems necessary or desirable before entering into this Agreement. Each party represents and warrants that it has read, knows, understands and agrees with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

11.15

Remedies.

Subject to the provisions of Section 9.2(f), all remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded to the parties hereunder, shall be cumulative and not alternative, and any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement will be entitled to enforce such rights specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by Law, equity or otherwise.

11.16

Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signatures and in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatory parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered in its name and on its behalf, all as of the day and year first above written.
