(i) to each Securityholder, including each Control Share Holder, subject to delivery by such Securityholder of any documents required pursuant to Section 3.5, (A) cash in an amount equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class D Common Stock held by such Securityholder, and (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Per Share Stock Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class D Common Stock held by such Securityholder;

3.6. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock (the “Dissenting Shares”) that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by a stockholder who did not vote in favor of the First Merger or consent thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and properly demands

appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (each, a “Dissenting Stockholder”), shall not be (i) converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration or (ii) cancelled without any consideration in accordance with Section 3.1(c).

If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such rights, such holder’s shares of Company Stock shall thereupon be treated, as applicable, as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration for each such share, in accordance with this Article III, without any interest thereon, or be canceled without any consideration in accordance with Section 3.1(c). The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and (B) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL.

(b) Each of the consolidated financial statements of Parent included in or incorporated by reference into the Parent SEC Documents have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited interim statements, as indicated in the notes thereto) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto and subject to normal year-end audit adjustments) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited interim statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

(c) All books, records and accounts of Parent and its Subsidiaries are accurate and complete in all material respects and are maintained in all material respects in

accordance with all applicable Laws. Parent and its Subsidiaries maintain systems of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; and (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization.

(d) As of the date of this Agreement, there are no outstanding or unresolved comment letters received from the SEC staff with respect to the Parent SEC Documents.

For purposes of this Agreement, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in SOX. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has outstanding, or has arranged any outstanding, “extensions of credit” to directors or executive officers within the meaning of Section 402 of SOX.

(f) Parent has complied in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of NASDAQ.

5.9. Financing. Schedule 5.9 sets forth complete and correct copies of a commitment letter and related term sheets from Barclays Bank PLC, Bank of America, N.A. and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated (collectively, the “Financing Commitment”) for the debt financing available for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Financing”). The Financing Commitment Letter and the related fee letter are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Financing Agreements.” None of the Financing Agreements have been amended or modified prior to the date of this Agreement. To the knowledge of Parent, none of the respective commitments contained in the Financing Agreements have been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect prior to the date of this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement there are no side letters or other agreements, contracts or arrangements between Parent and any of the Financing Sources (including fee letter(s) relating to fees with respect to the Financing) which would adversely affect the amount or availability of the Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Agreements delivered to the Company prior to the date of this Agreement. Parent has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Financing Agreements that are due and payable by Parent on or prior to the date of this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent, LLC Sub or Merger Sub under any term, or a failure of any condition, of the Financing Agreements or otherwise would be reasonably likely to result in any portion of the Financing contemplated thereby to be unavailable. As of the date of this Agreement, none of

Parent, LLC Sub or Merger Sub has any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of the Financing Agreements required to be satisfied by it. Based on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the proceeds from the Financing, together with the cash or cash equivalents otherwise available to Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub, will provide Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub at the Closing Date with sufficient funds to consummate Mergers and otherwise satisfy all of their obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of the Total Merger Consideration and all fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred by Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub in connection therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub under this Agreement are not contingent in any respect upon the funding of amounts contemplated by the Financing.

5.10. Financial Advisors. Except for Edge Healthcare Partners, LLC, a division of Edge Corporate Finance, LLC, no Person has acted, directly or indirectly, as a broker, finder or financial advisor for Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no Person is or will be entitled to any fee or commission or like payment in respect thereof.

5.11. No Parent Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2012, there has not been a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

5.12. Tax Treatment. None of Parent, LLC Sub or Merger Sub has taken or agreed to take any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code.

Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that none of the Company, any Company Subsidiary, any Securityholder, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives has made any representations or warranties regarding the Company, any Company Subsidiary, any Securityholder, their respective assets or operations, the future performance of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries following the Closing, or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, other than the representations and warranties expressly made in Article IV and Article VI.

(d) If necessary to obtain from any Governmental Body any Permits, waivers, clearances, or Orders required to be obtained or made by Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries under the HSR Act, each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate with each other and use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections as may be asserted by any Governmental Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with any filing or submission required or action to be taken by either Parent, LLC Sub and the Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, to consummate the Mergers, in no event shall Parent, LLC Sub, Merger Sub or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates be obligated to propose or agree to accept any undertaking or condition, to enter into any consent decree, to make any divestiture or accept any operational restriction, or take or commit to take any action (i) the effectiveness or consummation of which is not conditional on the consummation of the Mergers or (ii) that may have a materially detrimental effect or impact on the current or future business models, plans or structures of Parent, Merger Sub, LLC Sub or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or which would be prohibited by the Financing.

(e) Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, none of the Parties shall knowingly impede or delay the termination or expiration of any applicable waiting period

under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with the Federal Trade Commission, Department of Justice or any Governmental Body not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other Parties to this Agreement, and none of Parties, nor their respective Affiliates, shall withdraw any initial filing under the HSR Act contemplated by this Section 7.3, or any similar filing concerning acquisition control or competition Law and regulations, with the intent to refile such filing unless the other Parties (other than the Securityholders) have consented in advance to such withdrawal and refiling.

(f) Each of Parent, LLC Sub and the Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets or equity interests, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any consents of any Governmental Body necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Body seeking or entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Order on appeal or otherwise; or (iv) delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.4. Further Assurances. Subject to, and not in limitation of Section 7.3, each of Parent, Merger Sub, LLC Sub and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) cause the fulfillment at the earliest practicable date of all of the conditions to their respective obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall and shall cause its Representatives to, and the Company shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than Parent) conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Transaction. The Company agrees not to, and the Company agrees to cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, release any third party from the confidentiality and standstill provisions of any agreement to which the Company is a party. The Company shall promptly notify Parent of the existence of any proposal or inquiry received by the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect to the foregoing and the material details of such proposal or inquiry.

7.6. Confidentiality.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, the Securityholders shall not, and shall cause their directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of Parent or use or otherwise exploit for their own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than Parent, any Company Confidential Information (as defined below). The Securityholders shall not have any obligation to keep confidential (or cause any of their officers, directors, employees or Affiliates to keep confidential) any Company Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by applicable Law; provided, however that in the event disclosure is required by applicable Law, the Securityholders shall, to the extent reasonably possible, provide Parent with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that Parent may seek an appropriate protective order. For purposes of this Section 7.6(a), “Company Confidential Information” means any information with respect to the Company Business, including methods of operation, customer lists, products, prices, fees, costs, Technology, inventions, Trade Secrets, know-how, Software, marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors, markets or other specialized information or proprietary matters; provided, however, that Company Confidential Information does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is generally available to the public as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure not otherwise permissible hereunder.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, Parent and the Surviving Company shall not, and shall cause their directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of DistributionCo or use or otherwise exploit for their own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than DistributionCo, any DistributionCo Confidential Information (as defined below). Parent and the Surviving Company shall not have any obligation to keep confidential (or cause any of their officers, directors, employees or Affiliates to keep confidential) any DistributionCo Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by applicable Law; provided, however that in the event disclosure is required by applicable Law, Parent and the Surviving Company shall, to the extent

reasonably possible, provide DistributionCo with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that DistributionCo may seek an appropriate protective order. For purposes of this Section 7.6(b), “DistributionCo Confidential Information” means any information with respect to the Long-Term Care Business or the Girling New York Business, including methods of operation, customer lists, products, prices, fees, costs, Technology, inventions, Trade Secrets, know-how, Software, marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors, markets or other specialized information or proprietary matters; provided, however, that DistributionCo Confidential Information does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is generally available to the public as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure not otherwise permissible hereunder.

(c) The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 7.6 relate to matters that are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 7.6 may cause irreparable injury to Parent or DistributionCo, as the case may be, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 7.6 may be inadequate. Therefore, Parent and DistributionCo will be entitled to seek a temporary and permanent injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 7.6 without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond whatsoever. The rights and remedies provided by this Section 7.6 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Parent or DistributionCo may have hereunder or at law or in equity. In the event that Parent were to seek damages for any breach of this Section 7.6, the portion of the consideration delivered to the Securityholders hereunder which is allocated by the Parties to the foregoing covenant shall not be considered a measure of or limit on such damages.

(d) The Parties agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that a specified time period, or any other relevant feature of this Section 7.6 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser period of time or other relevant feature which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable Party.

7.7. Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each Securityholder shall consult with Parent and the Company before issuing, and provide Parent and the Company the opportunity to review and comment upon any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Parent nor the Company nor any of their Affiliates shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the consent of the other, and no Securityholder shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the consent of Parent and the Company, except as may be required by applicable Laws or the rules, regulations or requirements of the SEC, NASDAQ or any national securities exchange applicable to such Party. Following the Closing, any consultation with or consent by the Company that is required under this Section 7.7 shall be made by the Stockholder Representative.

The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) any notice or other communication received by such Party from any Governmental Body in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such Party to obtain such consent would be material to the Company, the Surviving Company or Parent, (b) any Legal Proceedings commenced or, to such Party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such Party or any of its Subsidiaries that relate to the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (c) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event that, would cause any representation or warranty made by such Party contained in this Agreement (i) that is qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect to be untrue and (ii) that is not so qualified to be untrue in any material respect, and (d) any failure of such Party to comply with or satisfy in all material respects any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.8 shall not (x) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (y) limit the remedies available to the Party receiving such notice.

7.9. Related-Party Transactions with Non-Management Affiliates. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall terminate all Contracts with any of the Securityholders or their respective Affiliates (other than (a) those Contracts set forth on Schedule 7.9); (b) Contracts between the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees and (c) Contracts the continuation of which Parent has approved in writing); provided, that in no event shall the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries pay any fee or otherwise incur any expense or financial exposure with respect to any such termination or release without the prior written consent of Parent.

7.10. Actions with Respect to Financing.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or otherwise, Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right from time to time to amend, restate, replace, supplement or otherwise modify (subject to any required consents of the Financing Sources), or waive any of its rights under, the Financing Commitment and/or substitute other debt or equity financing for all or any portion of the Financing from the same and/or alternative financing sources (any such modified financing, an “Alternative Financing”) so long as after giving effect to any such amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement or other modification or waiver, the proceeds from the Financing or any Alternative Financing, together with the cash or cash equivalents otherwise

available to Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub, will provide Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub at the Closing Date with sufficient funds to consummate Mergers and otherwise satisfy all of their obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of the Total Merger Consideration and all fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred by Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub in connection therewith.

(b) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date or the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article IX, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of its and their respective Representatives, including legal, tax, regulatory and accounting, to, use its reasonable best efforts to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent and/or the Financing Sources to enable Parent and Merger Sub to satisfy the conditions to consummation of the Financing or any Alternative Financing (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), including (i) providing information relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to Parent and the Financing Sources to be used in the preparation of an information package regarding the business, operations, financial projections and prospects of Parent, Parent’s Subsidiaries, the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries customary for such financing or reasonably necessary for the completion of the Financing or any Alternative Financing by the Financing Sources, to the extent reasonably requested by Parent to assist Parent in preparation of customary offering or information documents to be used for the completion of the Financing or any Alternative Financing as contemplated by the Financing Commitment (as adjusted by the agreed marketing terms, if any) or the definitive financing agreements, (ii) participating in a reasonable number of meetings (including customary one-on-one meetings with the parties acting as lead arrangers for the Financing or any Alternative Financing and senior management and Representatives, with appropriate seniority and expertise, of the Company), presentations, road shows, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions (including accounting due diligence sessions) and sessions with the rating agencies, in each case as are reasonably necessary for the completion of the Financing or any Alternative Financing by the Financing Sources, (iii) reasonably assisting in Parent’s preparation of documents and materials, including (A) any customary offering documents and bank information memoranda (including public and private versions thereof) for the Financing or any Alternative Financing, and (B) customary materials for rating agency presentations, in each case as are reasonably necessary for the completion of the Financing or any Alternative Financing by the Financing Sources, (iv) cooperating with Parent’s marketing efforts for the Financing or any Alternative Financing (including consenting to the use of the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ logos; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries as reasonably determined by the Company), (v) provide reasonable assistance in the preparation of and executing and delivering (or using reasonable best efforts to obtain from its advisors), and causing the Company Subsidiaries to execute and deliver (or use reasonable best efforts to obtain from their advisors), customary certificates (including a certificate of the principal financial officer of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries with respect to solvency of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries immediately before giving effect to the Mergers in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Financing Sources), other documents and instruments relating to guarantees and other matters ancillary to the Financing or any Alternative Financing as may be reasonably requested

If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than as set forth in Section 9.1(c), Parent shall reimburse the Company for all documented reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or any Company Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries contemplated under this Section 7.10(b) and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (or any Alternative Financing) and any information used in connection therewith. The foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

(c) Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange and consummate the Financing (or Alternative Financing). In the event that (i) the Financing Commitment is amended, replaced, supplemented or modified or terminated or Alternative Financing is obtained or (ii) if, for any reason, Parent, LLC Sub or Merger Sub believes in good faith that it is reasonably likely that it will not be able to obtain all or any material portion of the Financing in the amounts or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Agreements (or any Alternative Financing obtained in accordance with this Section 7.10) and that it is not reasonably likely that it will be able to obtain acceptable alternative financing, Parent shall promptly notify the Company thereof and, in the case of subclause (i) above, promptly provide the Company with copies of any definitive agreements related thereto.

7.11. Employee Matters.

(a) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow, as of the Closing Date, each employee of the Company who is employed by the Parent or one of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time (each such person, a “Continuing Employee”) will receive full credit (for all purposes, including eligibility to participate, vesting, vacation entitlement and severance benefits, but excluding benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan and equity or equity-based compensation arrangements) for service with the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (or predecessor service credit under its employee benefit plans to the extent that the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries so recognized any such predecessor service credit) under each of the comparable employee benefit plans, programs and policies of Parent, the Surviving Company or the relevant Subsidiary, as applicable, in which such Continuing Employee becomes or may become a participant; provided, however, that no such service recognition shall result in any duplication of benefits. With respect to each health or welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent, the Surviving Company or the relevant Subsidiary for the benefit of any Continuing Employees, and to the extent a Continuing Employee is to participate in any such plan, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under such plan; and (ii) cause each Continuing Employee to be given credit under such plan for all amounts paid by such Continuing Employee under any similar Company Plan for the plan year that includes the Closing Date for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan maintained by Parent, the Surviving Company or the relevant Subsidiary, as applicable, for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(b) Neither Parent nor its Affiliates shall be obligated to provide any Severance Obligations to any employee of the Company in connection with the consummation of the Mergers or any termination of employment, separation, or other similar action occurring on or prior to the Closing Date.

(a) Immediately prior to the Closing, (i) the Company shall assign, convey, transfer and deliver to DistributionCo, and DistributionCo shall accept and assume, all Long-Term Care Assets, Long-Term Care Liabilities, Girling New York Assets and Girling New York Liabilities, including all ownership interests in the Long-Term Care Subsidiaries and the Girling New York Subsidiaries and (ii) the ownership interest in DistributionCo shall be distributed to the Securityholders as deemed appropriate by the Company and the Securityholders (such transactions, the “Spin-Off”). All employees of the Long-Term Care

Business and the Girling New York Business will be included in the Spin-Off and will not be employees of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing, subject to the Transition Services Agreement. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to review and approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, any agreements to be executed and delivered by the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Spin-Off prior to the execution thereof.

(b) Each of the Parties to this Agreement expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Surviving Company nor any of its Affiliates is acquiring any right, title or interest in and to, or assuming any obligations of, any of the Long-Term Care Assets, Long-Care Term Liabilities, Girling New York Assets or Girling New York Liabilities.

(i) Until the date which is ten (10) years following the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to give DistributionCo and its counsel and accountants access to (and the right to make copies thereof at the DistributionCo’s own expense) the books, files and records of the Surviving Company to the extent they relate to events arising on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Long-Term Care Business or the Girling New York Business. Parent covenants and agrees that it will cause the Surviving Company not destroy or dispose of such books, files, records or tax returns prior to the date which is ten years following the Closing Date. Any review or access permitted to DistributionCo and its advisors under this Section 7.12(c)(i) shall be conducted by DistributionCo in good faith, with a reasonable purpose and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of the Surviving Company following the Closing.

(ii) Until the date which is ten (10) years following the Closing Date, DistributionCo will give to the Surviving Company and its counsel and accountants access to (and the right to make copies thereof at the Surviving Company’s own expense) the books, files, records and tax returns of DistributionCo as to events arising prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Long-Term Care Business or Girling New York Business. DistributionCo covenants and agrees that it will not destroy or dispose of such books, files, records or tax returns prior to the date which is ten years following the Closing Date. Any review or access permitted to the Surviving Company and its advisors under this Section 7.12(c)(ii) shall be conducted by the Surviving Company in good faith, with a reasonable purpose and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of DistributionCo following the Closing.

7.13. Parachute Payment Waiver; 280G Stockholder Approval. As soon as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Parent a written waiver from each Person who is or reasonably could be, with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, a “disqualified individual”, and to whom any payment or benefit has been or is required or proposed to be made that is reasonably expected to constitute a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code (such Persons (as of the date hereof) being set forth on Schedule 7.13), waiving such Person’s right to receive some or all of

such payments or benefits (the “Waived Benefits”) so that all remaining payments or benefits applicable to such Person shall not be deemed to be a parachute payment, and accepting in substitution for the Waived Benefits the right to receive the Waived Benefits only if approved by the stockholders of the Company in a manner that complies with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the final regulations issuer thereunder. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all necessary actions to submit for approval by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code the right of each such Person to receive or retain, as applicable, such Person’s Waived Benefits, with such stockholder approval to be solicited in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of such Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such Treasury Regulations. The Company shall provide to Parent, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the solicitation of such stockholder vote, copies of all disclosure materials, waivers, parachute payment calculations and shareholder votes and related materials to be used to effectuate such 280G approval, and Parent shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon. The use of such materials shall be subject to Parent’s approval of such materials (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

7.14. Trading Restrictions. Each Securityholder understands that the United States securities laws prohibit Persons who are in possession of material, non-public information concerning an issuer of securities under the Securities Act from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or communicating such information to any other Person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such Person is likely to purchase or sell securities. Each Securityholder agrees to comply fully with such Laws as they relate to the securities of Parent and to indemnify Parent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, arising from a violation thereof by such Securityholder.

7.15. Transition Services. To the extent a finalized Transition Services Agreement containing the material terms set forth in the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit O is not executed in connection with the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Surviving Company and Distribution Co shall comply with the terms set forth in such term sheet.

Termination

9.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent duly authorized by each of their respective boards of directors; or

(b) by either of the Company or Parent:

(i) if the Mergers shall not have been consummated on or before December 31, 2013 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that the Outside Date shall be automatically extended for up to two successive thirty (30) day periods if the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.1(b) remain unsatisfied; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation under this Agreement or whose action or failure to act has been the principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Mergers to have been consummated on or before the Outside Date; or

(c) by Parent (if Parent is not then in material breach of this Agreement) if the Company or the Securityholders shall have breached or failed to perform any of their representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in this Agreement (or if any of the representations or warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall fail to be true), which breach or failure (A) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) and (B) is incapable of being cured or is not cured by the Company within twenty (20) days following receipt of written notice from Parent detailing such breach or failure; or

(d) by the Company (if the Company is not then in material breach of this Agreement) if Parent, LLC Sub or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in this Agreement (or if any of the representations or warranties of Parent, LLC Sub or Merger Sub

set forth in this Agreement shall fail to be true), which breach or failure (i) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(b) and (ii) is incapable of being cured or is not cured by Parent, LLC Sub or Merger Sub within twenty (20) days following receipt of written notice from the Company of such breach or failure.

9.2. Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, then each of the Parties shall be relieved of its duties and obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of such termination and such termination shall be without Liability to the Parties; provided, however, that the obligations of the Parties set forth in Section 7.2, Section 7.6, this Section 9.2, Article XII and, to the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing enumerated provisions, Article I, shall survive any such termination and shall be enforceable hereunder; provided further, however, that termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any Liability for fraud or breach of this Agreement prior to the effective date of termination.

(a) Subject to the limitations in this Article X, if the Closing occurs, the Securityholders and DistributionCo, shall indemnify and hold Parent, the Surviving Company, and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, stockholders (excluding the Securityholders after the Closing in such capacity), agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, any and all losses, Liabilities, demands, judgments, damages, amounts paid in settlement, interest, fines, penalties, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, assessments, awards, and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (in each case including reasonable attorneys’, experts’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), whether or not involving a third party claim (collectively, “Losses”), arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by the Company or the Securityholders (other than in Section 4.10, for which Section 10.2(a)(iv) shall apply) in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Company at Closing as provided in Section 8.2(h);

The provision of notice pursuant to Section 7.8 and the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.

10.3. Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If any party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) has notice of facts or circumstances that could reasonably result in a claim for indemnification, such Indemnified Party shall provide prompt written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”). Any Indemnified Party asserting a claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim shall provide prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice under this Section 10.3(a) shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect to such claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) In the event that any Legal Proceeding shall be instituted or any claim or demand shall be asserted by any third party in respect of which indemnification may be sought under Section 10.2 (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 10.4) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice of such Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party upon learning of such Third Party Claim. The failure of the

Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect to such claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.3, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim that relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim that relates to any Losses indemnified by it hereunder, it shall within ten (10) Business Days of the Indemnified Party’s written notice of the assertion of such Third Party Claim (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so; provided, that the Indemnifying Party must conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim diligently and in good faith thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim that relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder or fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election as herein provided, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party defends any Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and costs of defending such Third Party Claim upon submission of periodic bills, to the extent such expenses and costs are Losses to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article X. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to 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. To the extent permitted by Law or agreement or not limited by conflict or potential conflict between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, the Parties agree to provide reasonable access to the other to such documents and information as may be reasonably requested in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.3 to the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall, without the written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless (i) the claimant or claimants and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all Liability in respect of the Third Party Claim and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party or provide for any ongoing restriction on the business of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim if (x) such Third Party Claim seeks the issuance of an injunction, the specific enforcement of an obligation or similar remedy against the Indemnified Party or (y) the subject matter of a Third Party Claim relates to the ongoing business of any Indemnified Party, which Third Party Claim, if decided against the Indemnified Party, would reasonably be likely to materially adversely affect the ongoing business or reputation of the Indemnified Party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third-party claimant, and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and, subject to the applicable limitations of this Article X, pay the amount called for by such offer, and the Indemnified Party declines to accept such offer, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest such Third Party Claim, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, and the amount of any Losses with respect to such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that the Indemnified Party declined to accept plus the Losses of the Indemnified Party relating to such Third Party Claim incurred through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Losses of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(d) After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement, in each case with respect to a Third Party Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article X with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party shall pay all of such remaining sums so due and owing to the Indemnified Party within 10 days of such notice.

(e) With respect to any notices, responses, consents or approvals (but for the avoidance of doubt, not indemnification) to be provided by any Indemnifying Parties which are the Securityholders, reference in this Agreement to an Indemnifying Party shall mean the Stockholder Representative.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in connection with any matter contemplated by Section 10.2(a)(v) (each such matter, a “Pre-Merger Litigation Matter”), subject to the terms of this Section 10.3(f), DistributionCo at its own expense shall defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Pre-Merger Litigation Matter; provided, that (i) the Surviving Company shall retain the right to make final determinations (subject to applicable Law) with respect to any actions required by the Surviving Company to correct any violation or non-compliance with applicable Law associated with such Pre-Merger Litigation Matter, (ii) to the extent permitted by Law or agreement or not limited by conflict or potential conflict or as would not violate the attorney client privilege, DistributionCo and the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall promptly provide copies to the other of all written correspondence, discovery, pleadings, orders and other filings received or delivered in connection with any Pre-Merger Litigation Matter, and (iii) DistributionCo shall provide Parent with reasonable advance notice of all planned meetings, telephone conferences, hearings, trials, mediations and related conferences taking place with respect to such Pre-Merger Litigation Matter, and Parent shall have the right to send one or more representative(s) to attend such events. Each of the Surviving Company and DistributionCo shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with one another to resolve a Pre-Merger Litigation Matter as set forth in this Section 10.3. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.3 to the contrary, neither DistributionCo nor the Surviving Company shall, without the written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), settle or compromise any Pre-Merger Litigation Matter or permit a default or consent to entry of any

judgment unless (i) the claimant or claimants and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of such Pre-Merger Litigation Matter and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any affected party or provide for any ongoing restriction on the business of any affected party; provided, however, that DistributionCo shall not settle or compromise any Pre-Merger Litigation Matter without the consent of the Surviving Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if (i) any claim under such Pre-Merger Litigation Matter seeks the issuance of an injunction, restraining order, specific enforcement, or the enforcement of an obligation or similar remedy against the Surviving Company or (ii) the subject matter of such Pre-Merger Litigation Matter relates to the ongoing business of the Surviving Company, which such Pre-Merger Litigation Matter, if decided against the Surviving Company, would reasonably (as determined by the Surviving Company in its sole discretion) be likely to materially adversely affect the ongoing business or reputation of the Surviving Company.

(g) Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by the Securityholders or DistributionCo in defending any Third Party Claim or Pre-Merger Litigation Matter shall be Losses subject to the limitations of this Article X.

(h) In the case of any claim for indemnification for Taxes, the provisions of Section 11.3 (and not the provisions of this Section 10.3) shall be applicable.

10.4. Limitations on Indemnification; Other Indemnification Matters.

(a) The Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.2(a)(i) unless the amount of the Losses for which a right of indemnification is provided, when aggregated with all other Losses for which indemnification is provided thereunder, exceeds $2,500,000 (the “Indemnification Basket”), at which time rights to indemnification for Losses may be asserted under such Section 10.2(a)(i) only to the extent such Losses exceed the Indemnification Basket; provided, however, that the Indemnification Basket shall not apply to claims resulting from breaches of the Fundamental Representations. In no event shall the Indemnification Basket apply to claims made under Sections 10.2(a)(v) or (vi).

(b) Absent fraud, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnified Parties for Losses under Section 10.2(a)(i) shall be the release of Escrowed Shares from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (the “General Indemnification Cap”), other than for (i) claims resulting from breaches of the Fundamental Representations in which case the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Losses up to the amount of the Total Merger Consideration (excluding the Control Share Consideration) (the “Merger Consideration Cap”); and (ii) claims resulting from breaches of the Healthcare Representations in which case the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Losses up to the sum of (x) the amount of the Escrowed Shares remaining in the Escrow Account plus (y) $40,000,000 (collectively, the “Healthcare Cap”). The Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Losses up to the amount of the Escrowed Shares remaining in the Escrow Account plus $5,000,000 for indemnification claims under Section 10.2(a)(vi), which $5,000,000 or whatever portion thereof is paid to Parent Indemnified Parties for such Losses shall be deemed part of the Healthcare Cap. The Parent

Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Losses up to the Healthcare Cap for indemnification claims under Section 10.2(a)(v), which Losses recovered by the Parent Indemnified Parties under Section 10.2(a)(v) shall be deemed part of the Healthcare Cap. In the case of indemnification claims under Sections 10.2(a)(iii) or 10.2(a)(iv), the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Losses up to the Merger Consideration Cap. In no event shall the Escrowed Shares released from the Escrow Account to satisfy any Losses exceed $10,000,000. The Merger Consideration Cap shall be reduced to the extent of any Losses recovered by the Parent Indemnified Parties. All indemnification payments for breaches of the Fundamental Representations or the Healthcare Representations, or pursuant to Sections 10.2(a)(ii), 10.2(a)(iii), 10.2(a)(iv), 10.2(a)(v), or 10.2(a)(vi) shall first be satisfied from the Escrowed Shares and, to the extent any indemnification payments are required in excess of the Escrowed Shares, such amounts shall be paid by DistributionCo (other than with respect to breaches of the Securityholder Fundamental Representations, which shall be paid solely by the breaching Securityholder), provided however, that if such indemnification payments are not paid to Parent Indemnified Parties within 150 days of the date such payments are required to be made hereunder, the Securityholders shall be obligated, on a several basis (based on the Pro Rata Percentage), to make such payments.

(c) The Securityholder Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.2(b)(i) unless the amount of the Losses for which a right of indemnification is provided, when aggregated with all other Losses for which indemnification is provided thereunder, exceeds the Indemnification Basket, at which time rights to indemnification for all Losses in excess of the Indemnification Basket may be asserted up to an amount not to exceed $15,000,000 (the “Parent Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that the Indemnification Basket and the Parent Indemnification Cap shall not apply to claims resulting from breaches of the Parent Fundamental Representations.

(d) For purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses with respect to claims arising under Sections 10.2(a)(i) or 10.2(b)(i), any and all qualifications as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications contained in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded.

(e) The rights of each Parent Indemnified Party and Securityholder Indemnified Party under this Article X are cumulative. Each Parent Indemnified Party and Securityholder Indemnified Party, as the case may be, will have the right in any particular circumstance, in its sole discretion, to enforce any provision of this Article X without regard to the availability of a remedy under any other provision of this Article X, and the use of any one right or remedy by any Party shall not preclude or constitute a waiver of its rights to use any or all other remedies provided by this Agreement.

(f) From and after the Closing, the Securityholders shall have no right of contribution or other recourse against the Surviving Company or its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, attorneys, representatives, assigns or successors for any Third Party Claims or claims for breaches of this Agreement asserted by Parent Indemnified Parties.

(g) The amount of any Losses incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Party shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any actually realized or reasonably verifiable

Tax benefit by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) arising from the facts or circumstances giving rise to such Losses (net of any related expenses or Tax costs) during the year and subsequent two (2) years such indemnified Loss is paid, provided that the applicable Loss is the last deduction of the Surviving Company, and (ii) any amounts, including insurance proceeds (net of the present value of increase in premiums reasonably anticipated to result therefrom), recovered by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) from any other third Person. Each Indemnified Party shall file claims, as applicable, under the Tail Policies and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all other such proceeds, benefits and recoveries. If any such benefits or recoveries (including Tax benefits) are received by an Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any Losses after an Indemnifying Party has made an indemnity payment to the Indemnified Party with respect such Losses, the Indemnified Party (or such Affiliate) shall pay the Indemnifying Party the amount of such benefits or recoveries.

(h) None of the Parties shall be liable to the other, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary or other similar type of damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, diminution of value, loss of business opportunity or for any Losses based on a multiple of value that in any way arise out of, or relate to, or are a consequence of, its performance or nonperformance under this Agreement, other than any of the foregoing types of damages that are required to be paid to a third party pursuant to a Third Party Claim.

(i) All Losses under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Losses to the extent that such Losses are reflected on Annex I.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except with respect to any payments made pursuant to Section 11.7, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall not have any right to indemnification under this Agreement from and against any Losses (including any Taxes) that are due to the unavailability in any taxable period (or portion of any taxable period) beginning after the Closing Date of any net operating losses, credits or other Tax attribute from a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

10.5. Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, except for claims for fraud or willful or intentional misconduct of the Parties or claims for injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable remedies, the right of the Parties to assert indemnification claims for monetary damages and receive indemnification payments pursuant to this Article X 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 covenant, representation, warranty, agreement or obligation under this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.6. Escrow.

(a) The Escrowed Shares deposited in accordance with Section 3.4(e) with the Escrow Agent shall be held in an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Any indemnification payment the Securityholders are obligated to make to any Parent Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article X in Escrowed Shares shall be made by returning and releasing to Parent from the Escrow Account the number of Escrowed Shares equal to (i) the amount of such indemnification payment, divided by (ii) the applicable Release Date Per Share Value of the Escrowed Shares.

(c) On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, release to the Securityholders any and all of the Escrowed Shares remaining in the Escrow Account in excess of the sum of (i) that number of Escrowed Shares equal to $5,000,000, plus (ii) the number of Escrowed Shares as may be necessary to satisfy in full any then unpaid indemnification claims made by Parent in good faith, in each case determined based upon the Release Date Per Share Value on the first anniversary of the Closing Date. On the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Securityholders the remaining Escrowed Shares, less the number of such Escrowed Shares as may be necessary to satisfy in full any then unpaid indemnification claims made by Parent in good faith, valued at the Release Date Per Share Value on the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date. The Escrowed Shares retained for unresolved claims for indemnification shall be released by the Escrow Agent (to the extent not utilized to pay Parent for any such claims resolved in favor of Parent Indemnified Parties) upon their resolution in accordance with this Article X or Article XI. Release of the Escrowed Shares to the Securityholders after the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 10.6 shall not prejudice any of the rights of the Parent Indemnified Parties to seek indemnification from the Securityholders under this Agreement.

10.7. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Securityholders and Parent agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article X as an adjustment to the Total Merger Consideration for all income tax purposes. If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding sentence, any indemnification payment under this Article X is determined to be taxable to the party receiving such payment by any Taxing Authority, the paying party shall also indemnify the party receiving such payment for any Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment (including by reason of the receipt of any payment under this Section 10.7) and any Losses incurred by the party receiving such payment in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to such Taxes).

10.8. Subrogation. If an Indemnifying Party makes any indemnification payment, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses to which such payment relates. Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect such subrogation rights.

ARTICLE XI

Tax Matters

11.1. Filing of Pre-Closing Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes.

(b) The Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed by it or them on or prior to the Closing Date and shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown due thereon. The Stockholder Representative shall cause to be prepared all other Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for all taxable periods ending on or before Closing (all such Tax Returns described in the first and second sentence of this Section 11.1(a), “Pre-Closing Returns”). All such Pre-Closing Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice. The Company or the Stockholder Representative, as the case may be, shall provide Parent with copies of such completed Pre-Closing Returns at least thirty days prior to the filing thereof, along with supporting workpapers, for Parent’s review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that Parent’s approval shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if it fails to approve any position which would adversely affect the Parent, the Company or any Company Subsidiary in any taxable period ending after the Closing. The Stockholder Representative and Parent shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding such Tax Returns prior to the due date for filing. In the event that the Stockholder Representative and Parent are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to such Tax Return at least ten days prior to the due date for filing, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 11.4, which resolution shall be binding on the Parties. Parent shall file or cause to be filed all such Pre-Closing Returns to the extent such returns are due following the Closing Date. Not later than ten (10) days prior to the due date for the payment of Taxes, the Stockholder Representative shall pay to Parent the amount of Taxes shown as owed on such Tax Returns.

(c) Following the Closing, Parent shall cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries after the Closing Date with respect to Straddle Periods and, subject to the rights to payment from the Securityholders under Section 11.1(c), pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown due thereon.

(d) Not later than ten days prior to the due date for the payment of Taxes on any Tax Returns which Parent has the responsibility to cause to be filed pursuant to Section 11.1(b), the Securityholders shall pay to Parent the amount of Taxes owed by the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.2. No payment pursuant to this Section 11.1(c) shall excuse the Securityholders from their indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 11.2 if the amount of Taxes, as ultimately determined by a Taxing Authority or pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.4 exceeds the amount of the Securityholders’ payment under this Section 11.1(c).

11.2. Straddle Period. The Company will, unless prohibited by applicable law, close the taxable period of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable Law does not permit the Company (or a Subsidiary) to close its taxable year on the Closing Date or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period which includes the Closing Date (but does not begin or end on that day) (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated (i) to

the Securityholders for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) to Parent for the period subsequent to the Closing Date. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be made by means of a closing of the books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the close of the Closing Date, provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

11.3. Tax Audits.

(a) If any written claim or demand for indemnified Taxes in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Article X and this Article XI is asserted against Parent, any of its Affiliates or, effective upon the Closing, the Company or any Company Subsidiary, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall notify the other of such claim or demand within ten (10) days of receipt thereof and each of them shall give the other such information with respect thereto as any of them may reasonably request of the other. Stockholder Representative shall assume and control at its own expense, and Parent shall take all steps reasonably requested by Stockholder Representative in order to fully effectuate Stockholder Representative’s assumption and control of, the conduct of any contest or proceeding (including, without limitation, a Tax audit) relating to Taxes for which indemnification may be sought from the Securityholders under Article X and this Article XI; provided that the Stockholder Representative shall not settle any such contest or proceeding in a manner that would adversely affect the Parent, the Company or any Company Subsidiary in a taxable period ending after the Closing Date without Parent’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Parent shall have the right, but not the duty, to participate in such contest or proceeding at its own expense. Stockholder Representative shall not be liable under this Article XI for any amount arising out of a contest or proceeding of which Parent failed to notify the Stockholder Representative as required under this Article XI to the extent that the Stockholder Representative can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

(b) If a Taxing Authority makes an adjustment which increases the obligations of Securityholders and Stockholder Representative under Section 11.2 and (i) the Securityholders pay the increased amount pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the adjustment results in a decrease in the Taxes of the Parent, its Affiliates, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, Parent shall be obligated to make a payment or payments to the Stockholder Representative in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amounts paid by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 11.1 and (y) the amount of the reduction in the Taxes of the Parent, its Affiliates, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries. If a Taxing Authority makes an adjustment which decreases the obligations of Securityholders and Stockholder Representative under Section 11.2 or results in a refund or credit which is payable to the Stockholder Representative under Section 11.5 and the adjustment results in an increase in the Taxes of the Parent, its Affiliates, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, the Stockholder Representative shall be obligated to make a payment or payments to the Parent in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the decrease in the amounts paid by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 11.2 or the amount of the refund or credit payable to the Stockholder

Representative under Section 11.5, as the case may be, as a result of the adjustment; or (y) the amount of the increase in the Taxes of the Parent, its Affiliates, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries. Any such payment or payments shall be made by the Parent or the Stockholder Representative, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days of the date that any Tax refund is received with respect to any amended Tax Returns or the date that the Tax Return evidencing such reduction or increase is due with respect to current and future Tax Returns. Parent shall file any amended Tax Returns reasonably necessary to obtain the allowable amount of the reduction in its Tax Liability, except to the extent that Parent, its Affiliates, the Company, or any Company Subsidiary would be adversely affected by the filing of such amended Tax Return.

11.4. Disputes. Any dispute as to any matter covered by this Article XI shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Stockholder Representative and Parent. The fees and expenses of such accounting fund shall be borne equally by the Securityholders, on the one hand, and Parent on the other. If any dispute with respect to a Tax Return is not resolved prior to the due date of such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed in the manner which the Party responsible for preparing such Tax Return deems correct.

11.5. Refunds and Tax Credits. Any Tax refunds that are actually received by Parent or the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and any amounts of credits against post-Closing Taxes actually obtained by Parent of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that relate to Taxes of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of Stockholder Representative, other than refunds attributable to a carryback from a Post-Closing Tax period and Parent shall pay over to Stockholder Representative any such refund or the amount of any such credit (net of any Taxes or other expenses) within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto.

11.6. Reorganization. From the date hereof until the Closing, the Securityholders and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and shall not take any action or knowingly fail to take any commercially reasonable action, which action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers from qualifying, as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

11.7. NOL Tax Savings.

(a) Parent shall pay to the Securityholders, in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages, an amount computed as provided in this Section 11.7 (the “Carryforward Tax Savings”). The Carryforward Tax Savings shall equal (i) fifty percent (50%) of the realized federal income Tax savings for the Tax year ending on December 31, 2013, resulting from the utilization by Parent on a consolidated basis of any Net Operating Loss Carryforward or Tax Credit Carryforwards of the Company and its Subsidiaries that can be carried forward to such first Tax year (the “NOL”), multiplied by (ii) 5 and (iii) present valued to the date of payment at a discount rate equal to interest rate on the Parent’s senior secured credit facility in effect on the payment date. For purposes of computing the Carryforward Tax Savings, the following shall apply:

(i) The present value determination shall be made as if fifty percent (50%) of the realized federal income Tax savings for the Tax year ending on December 31, 2013, resulting from the utilization by Parent on a consolidated basis of any Net Operating Loss Carryforward of the Company and its Subsidiaries were also realized in the same amount in the Tax years ending on December 31, 2014, through December 31, 2017, and the realized federal income Tax savings for each of those years were deemed realized on March 15 of the succeeding calendar year.

(ii) The Carryforward Tax Savings shall in no event exceed the present value of the federal income Tax savings based on the actual available NOL and Tax Credits of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taking into account any limitations, including without limitation, Sections 382 and 383 of the Code.

(iii) The Carryforward Tax Savings shall be paid not more than ten (10) Business Days after the Parent receives from the Internal Revenue Service a Closing Letter with respect to its Tax Return for the Tax year ending December 31, 2013 under the Compliance Assurance Process (“CAP”).

(b) In addition, in the event that all or any portion of any prepayment premium or penalty, or any debt breakage fee (the “Prepayment Penalty”), with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, is deducted on any federal income Tax Return for any Tax year beginning after the Closing Date, then, in addition to the Carryforward Tax Savings, Parent shall pay to the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Securityholders, an amount equal to 50% of the federal income Tax savings that resulted from such deduction of such Prepayment Penalty. Parent agrees that in connection with its participation in CAP, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the Internal Revenue Service that the Prepayment Penalty is properly deductible in a Tax year beginning after the Closing Date. Such Tax savings shall be paid not more than ten (10) Business Days after the Parent receives from the Internal Revenue Service a Closing Letter with respect to its Tax Return for the Tax year in which the deduction is taken under the Compliance Assurance Process that the deduction of the Prepayment Penalty in the Tax year beginning after the Closing Date is allowable.

ARTICLE XII

Miscellaneous

12.1. Stockholder Representative. The parties agree and acknowledge that the Stockholder Representative is executing this Agreement solely for the purpose of agreeing to the provisions of this Section 12.1 (provided, that, after the Closing, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to enforce all of the provisions of this Agreement on behalf of the Securityholders).

(a) By executing and delivering this Agreement, the approval of the principal terms of the First Merger or the consummation of the First Merger or by participating in the First Merger and receiving the benefits thereof, and in connection with the execution of the

Letter of Transmittal, each Securityholder hereby irrevocably appoints, and shall be deemed to have appointed and approves the designation of, R. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as such Securityholder’s representative, attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of such Securityholder with respect to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the Company Documents and to act on behalf of such Securityholder in any amendment of, or consent or waiver under, or dispute or litigation involving, this Agreement and the Company Documents and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as such Stockholder Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in conjunction with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Company Documents, including the power:

(i) to negotiate, execute and deliver all agreements, statements, certificates, instruments, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to deliver all notices and instructions with respect to any of the foregoing, including directing the Escrow Agent with respect to the voting of the Escrowed Shares (it being understood that such Securityholder shall execute and deliver any such documents which the Stockholder Representative agrees to execute);

(ii) to give and receive all notices and communications to be given or received under this Agreement and to receive service of process in connection with the any claims under this Agreement, including service of process in connection with arbitration;

(iii) revise the stock ownership percentages of the Securityholders set forth in Schedule 1 to the Escrow Agreement from time to time to give effect to any adjustment to the Securityholders’ proceeds from the Escrow Property as a result of the breach by a Securityholder of its representations and warranties set forth in Article VI; and

(iv) to take all actions that may be taken by the Securityholders under this Agreement and to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Securityholder which the Stockholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in his sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as such Securityholder could do if personally present.

(b) If R. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ becomes unable to serve as Stockholder Representative, such other Person or Persons as may be designated by the Securityholders who held, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a majority of the Class A Common Stock and Class D Common Stock (including Class D Common Stock subject to Company Warrants), shall succeed as the Stockholder Representative. Each Securityholder agrees that such agency is coupled with an interest and, therefore, is irrevocable without the consent of the Stockholder Representative, and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Securityholder.

(c) In furtherance of his obligations hereunder, the Stockholder Representative may retain accountants, legal counsel and other agents. All fees and expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative hereunder, including fees and costs of accountants, legal counsel or other agents retained by the Stockholder Representative, and all fees, expenses, losses and other obligations of the Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement, shall be allocated among the Securityholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages.

(d) Neither the Stockholder Representative nor any agent employed by it shall incur any liability to any Securityholder relating to the performance of its duties hereunder except for actions or omissions constituting fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholders jointly and severally hereby agree to indemnify the Stockholder Representative and any agent employed by him for, and hold him harmless against, any Losses incurred without fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Stockholder Representative arising out of or in connection with his serving as Stockholder Representative.

(e) As provided in Section 3.4(d), at the Closing, Parent shall wire Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) (the “Expense Fund Amount”) to an account designated by the Stockholder Representative (the funds in such account, the “Expense Fund”). To the extent available, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to draw against the Expense Fund (and earnings thereon) at any time and from time to time as and when (A) the Stockholder Representative incurs any Losses indemnified by the Securityholders as set forth in Section 12.1(d), and (B) necessary or appropriate to pay any costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in the performance of its duties in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative shall be the administrator of the Expense Fund and shall have sole and absolute authority over the Expense Fund. The Expense Fund shall be held by the Stockholder Representative as agent and for the benefit of the Securityholders in a segregated account. The Stockholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its other funds, will not use these funds for any other purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Stockholder Representative shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Securityholders at the time of Closing. The Stockholder Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund. As soon as practicable following the release in full of the remaining funds of the Escrowed Amount, under the terms set forth in this Agreement and the settlement of any claims or disputes related thereto, the Stockholder Representative shall distribute the amount, if any, remaining from the Expense Fund (the “Expense Fund Remainder”) to the Securityholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages.

(f) In addition to the right of the Stockholder Representative with respect to the Expense Fund Amount, prior to the distribution of any portion of the Escrowed Shares to the Securityholders, any expenses incurred, or reasonably expected to be incurred, by the Stockholder Representative shall be disbursed to the Stockholder Representative from the distributed portion of the Escrowed Shares, calculated using the applicable Release Date Per

Share Value, by written notice to Parent, in which case the amount of the Escrowed Shares available for distribution to the Securityholders will be reduced accordingly. Any Escrowed Shares so distributed to or withheld by the Stockholder Representative under this Section 12.1(f) shall be deemed to constitute part of the Expense Fund for purposes of this Section 12.1(f).

12.2. Director and Officer Indemnification.

(a) For not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the governing documents of the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries shall contain provisions no less favorable to the persons who were officers or directors of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (to the extent such persons were serving as directors or officers of a Company Subsidiary on the Company’s behalf) (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) with respect to the indemnification of, advancement of expenses for, and exculpation from liabilities for, acts or omissions by them at any time at or prior to the Effective Time, than are set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended and in effect on the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Company Charter Documents”). The Surviving Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to the D&O Indemnified Parties to the full extent provided by the Company Charter Documents and shall not amend or otherwise modify such rights in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the D&O Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is required by Law. All rights of the D&O Indemnified Parties to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in the Company Charter Documents shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. In the event there is a dispute regarding the enforceability of this Section 12.2, all fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, of the prevailing party shall be paid by the party losing such dispute.

(b) Parent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to control the defense of, including the investigation of, any litigation, claim or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 12.2 with one counsel selected by Parent and subject to reasonable approval of the D&O Indemnified Party, provided, that no conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between the Surviving Company and its Affiliates and such selection would not violate applicable rules of ethics; provided, further, however, that (i) the D&O Indemnified Party shall be permitted to participate in the defense of such Claim at its own expense (or at the expense of Parent in the event of such conflict, potential conflict or violation) and (ii) Parent may settle any Claim without the D&O Indemnified Party’s prior written consent so long as such D&O Indemnified Party is fully released from all Liability with respect to the Claim, is fully indemnified by Parent for such Claim and such settlement and such settlement does not include any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by the D&O Indemnified Party.

(c) At or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall purchase and pay in full a “tail” prepaid insurance policy with respect to the D&O Indemnified Parties’ existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that shall provide such directors and officers coverage for six (6) years following the Effective Time (including with respect to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties than those of such policies in effect on the date of this Agreement (the “Current Coverage”).

(d) In the event that Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 12.2.

(e) The obligations under this Section 12.2 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 12.2 applies without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly understood that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 12.2 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 12.2 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein.

12.3. Guaranty. Parent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual performance of each of LLC Sub’s and Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement and, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Company’s obligations. Parent will cause LLC Sub and Merger Sub and, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Company, to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.

12.4. Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whether or not the Mergers are consummated, Parent, the Company and the Securityholders shall each bear their own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the Company Documents, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby, it being understood that, to the extent the actual transaction expenses of the Company and the Securityholders as of the Closing exceed those included on Annex I, the Cash Consideration Amount shall be decreased by such excess expenses, and to the extent the actual transaction expenses of the Company and the Securityholders as of the Closing are less than those included on Annex I, the Cash Consideration Amount shall be increased by such difference.

12.5. Amendment or Supplement. At any time prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented in any and all respects by written agreement of Parent, LLC Sub, Merger Sub, the Company and the Stockholder Representative, by action taken by their respective boards of directors or managers, if applicable, so long as no amendment that requires stockholder approval under applicable Laws shall be made without the requisite approval of such stockholders.

12.6. Extension of Time Waiver, Etc. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any Party may, subject to applicable Law, (a) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other Party hereto, (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other Party hereto or (c) waive compliance by any other Party with any of the agreements contained herein or, except as otherwise provided herein, waive any of such Party’s conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a Party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party.

12.7. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties (provided, that the Stockholder Representative may provide consent for and on behalf of all Securityholders), except (i) that Merger Sub or LLC Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, in which event, all references in this Agreement to Merger Sub or LLC Sub, as the case may be, shall be deemed references to such Subsidiary but no such assignment shall relieve Merger Sub or LLC Sub, as the case may be, of any of its obligations hereunder, and (ii) that each of Merger Sub, LLC Sub and Parent may collaterally assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Financing Sources providing Financing (or Alternative Financing) and any agent for such Financing Sources, as security for the Financing (or Alternative Financing). Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 12.7 shall be null and void.

12.8. Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto), the Company Documents, the Parent Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, are not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder. Except as set forth in Articles IV, V and VI, the Parties acknowledge that no other Party has made and is not making any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, and that it is not relying and has not relied on any other representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Financing Sources shall be express third-party beneficiaries of and entitled to rely on, this Section 12.8 and Sections 12.7, 12.9 and 12.11.

12.9. No Recourse. All claims or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, at law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), may be made only against the Persons who are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement. No Person who is not a named party to this Agreement, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, equity holder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any named party to this Agreement (“Non-Party Affiliates”) or any Financing Source, shall have any Liability (whether based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation or execution, and each Party waives and releases all such claims for Liabilities against any such Non-Party Affiliates or Financing Sources. Non-Party Affiliates and the Financing Sources are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this provision of this Agreement.

12.10. Survival. The provisions contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.1, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

12.11. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that State, without regard to conflicts of laws principles; provided, however, that with respect to any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Financing and any Alternative Financing) involving any Financing Sources, this Agreement and any such actions or proceedings shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law).

(b) All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement (other than actions and proceedings involving any Financing Sources as provided below) shall be heard and determined in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, and the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court (and, in the case of appeals, appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that any and all actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Financing and any Alternative Financing) involving any Financing Sources shall be heard and determined in any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York (or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in any appropriate New York State or federal court), and the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court (and, in the case of appeals, appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. The consent to jurisdiction set forth in this paragraph shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware or the State of New York and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties or as specifically provided herein. The Parties agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable law.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE FINANCING AND ANY ALTERNATIVE FINANCING) AND ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVING ANY FINANCING SOURCES.

100

12.12. Specific Enforcement. The rights and remedies of the Parties shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereby waives any defense that a remedy at law would be adequate in any action for specific performance.

12.13. Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission) or (c) one Business Day following the day sent by overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses and facsimile numbers (or to such other address or facsimile number as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

If to the Securityholders, to their respective address set forth below their signatures hereto.

12.14. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties (with the Stockholder Representative acting on behalf of all Securityholders) shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

12.15. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement) and shall become effective when one or more

12.16. Disposition of Attorney-Client Privilege.

Neither Parent, the Surviving Company, any of the Surviving Company’s Subsidiaries nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Parent, the Surviving Company or any of the Surviving Company’s Subsidiaries, will seek to obtain the same by any process. In addition, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, all of the Company’s privileged records related to such transactions will become property of (and be controlled by) the Stockholder Representative, and the Surviving Company shall not retain any copies of such records or have any access to them. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Bird LLP is an intended beneficiary of this Section 12.16 and is entitled to enforce such provision.
