ARTICLE II

CONSIDERATION AND MANNER OF PAYMENT

Section 2.1 Payments at Closing Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.2, on the Closing Date, the Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price as follows: (i) pay or cause to be paid

the Escrow Amount into the Escrow Account to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and (ii) after payment of the Escrow Amount, pay to the Sellers the balance of the Purchase Price (the “Closing Date Cash Payment”), and such Closing Date Cash Payment will be payable by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account identified by the Sellers. The Sellers shall specify such account(s) in writing at least two (2) days prior to the Closing Date.

Section 2.2 Adjustments to Purchase Price.

(a) Closing Date Net Working Capital Adjustment. Within ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, but in no event less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Buyer, a certificate of the principal financial officer of the Sellers that contains a reasonable good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) prepared in accordance with the sample Net Working Capital calculation and accounting principles, policies and procedures set forth on Exhibit A (the “Sample Calculation”). If the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the Target Net Working Capital (such deficiency, the “Estimated Working Capital Deficit”), then the Purchase Price and the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such Estimated Working Capital Deficit. If the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than the Target Net Working Capital (such excess, the “Estimated Working Capital Surplus”), then the Purchase Price and the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such Estimated Working Capital Surplus.

(b) Closing Schedule. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date (the “CS Delivery Deadline”), the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a schedule (the “Closing Schedule”) setting forth a calculation of the Net Working Capital on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital”), and the amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than or greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital. The Closing Date Net Working Capital calculation shall be prepared in accordance with the Sample Calculation and accounting principles, policies and procedures set forth on Exhibit A. The Buyer shall make available to the Sellers and its auditors all records and work papers used in preparing the Closing Schedule.

(i) Overdue Closing Schedule. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Buyer fails to deliver the Closing Schedule to the Sellers within 90 days following the Closing Date, then, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that may be available to the Sellers as a result of such breach by the Buyer, (A) the Sellers may elect that the Closing Schedule be prepared by the Independent Accountant (as defined below), (B) the Parties shall provide, and the Buyer shall cause the Business to provide, to the Independent Accountant on a timely basis all information, documents or other materials requested by the Independent Account and full access to data, systems and personnel, (C) the Independent Accountant shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare and deliver the Closing Schedule and the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital to the Buyer and the Sellers, (D) absent manifest error, the Independent Accountant’s determination of the Closing Schedule and the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital will be conclusive and binding on the Parties and will be enforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction, and (E) the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the Buyer.

(ii) Protest Notice. Within thirty (30) days after the Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Schedule to the Sellers, the Sellers may deliver written notice (the “Protest Notice”), to the Buyer, setting forth any objections, and the basis therefor, which the Sellers may have to the Closing Schedule. Any Protest Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted. Except for such items that are specifically disputed in a Protest Notice, the amounts set forth on the Closing Schedule shall be final. The failure of the Sellers to deliver such Protest Notice within the prescribed time period will constitute the Sellers’ irrevocable acceptance of the Closing Schedule prepared and delivered by the Buyer. If the Sellers deliver a Protest Notice within the prescribed time period, then the Sellers and the Buyer will use Reasonable Efforts to resolve any disagreements as to the computation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, within twenty (20) days after delivery of the Closing Schedule.

(iii) Resolution of Protest.

(A) If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital within twenty (20) days following the delivery of any Protest Notice, then the Parties shall, promptly after the expiration of such period, submit for resolution all unresolved disputes to PricewaterhouseCoopers (or if such firm cannot or is unwilling to serve in such capacity, a nationally recognized, independent public accounting firm selected by agreement of the Parties or, if they cannot agree, selected by agreement of the independent public accounting firms regularly used by the Sellers and the Buyer to audit their respective financial statements) (the “Independent Accountant”) as an arbiter for resolution. In selecting the Independent Accountant in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of this Agreement, the Parties hereby waive any conflict or potential conflict arising from any services performed by such firm for the Sellers, the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates. The Sellers and the Buyer, and their respective Representatives, shall cooperate fully with the Independent Accountant during its engagement and respond on a timely basis to all requests for information or access to documents or personnel made by the Independent Accountant, all with the intent to fairly and in good faith resolve all disputes relating to the Closing Date Net Working Capital as promptly as reasonably practicable.

(B) Promptly, but no later than thirty days after its acceptance of its appointment as Independent Accountant, the Independent Accountant shall determine, based solely on presentations by the Buyer and the Sellers and not by independent review, those items in dispute on the Closing Schedule and shall render a written report to the Buyer and the Sellers as to the resolution of each dispute, the resulting final and binding calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital, and the final and binding Closing Schedule resulting therefrom. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountant (i) shall not assign a value to such item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by any Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by

any Party; (ii) shall rule only on the objections raised by the Parties, accepting all other aspects of the Closing Schedule; and (iii) shall have no right, authority or discretion to employ any accounting standard or principles except for those provided for herein. The Independent Accountant will have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resort to the Independent Accountant as provided in this Section 2.2(b)(iii)(B) will be the sole recourse and remedy of, the Parties against one another or any other Person with respect to any disputes arising out of or relating to Closing Date Net Working Capital. Absent manifest error, the Independent Accountant’s determination will be conclusive and binding on the Parties and will be enforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(C) Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b)(i), the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the Parties in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of items submitted to the Independent Accountant that are unsuccessfully disputed by such Party bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all items submitted to the Independent Accountant.

(c) Final Net Working Capital Adjustment. Within two (2) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Schedule, or the failure of the Sellers to submit a timely Protest Notice: (i) if the Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, then the Buyer shall make a claim against the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement for an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital and the Closing Date Net Working Capital, or (ii) if the Closing Date Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, then the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the amount of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account(s) specified by the Sellers. The Escrow Account shall be the sole and exclusive source for the satisfaction of all payment obligations of the Sellers under and pursuant to this Section 2.2(c). If any payment required pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) is not paid when due, the amount due shall bear interest from such due date at an annual rate equal to ten percent (10%) and payor shall be liable for such accrued interest and all costs and expenses of collection including legal expenses; provided, however, if (x) the Closing Schedule was not delivered to the Sellers by the CS Delivery Schedule, (z) the Sellers elected pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i) to have the Independent Accountant prepare the final Closing Schedule and (z) the Independent Accountant’s determination resulted in a payment owed to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.2(c), then such amount due to the Sellers shall bear interest from the CS Delivery Deadline until paid in full. The Buyer and the Sellers agree to issue appropriate joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.2(c) and Section 2.4.

(d) The Purchase Price and the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness listed on Schedule 1.2(b)(vi).

(e) All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be treated by all Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 2.3 Allocation of Purchase Price. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Sellers an allocation of the Purchase Price plus the Assumed Liabilities (to the extent properly taken into account under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code

and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Purchase Price Allocation ”). If Sellers do not object to the Purchase Price Allocation as provided by Buyer within thirty (30) days of Sellers’ receipt of the Purchase Price Allocation, the Purchase Price Allocation will become final and binding upon the Parties. If Sellers object in writing within such 30-day period to any item in the Purchase Price Allocation, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If they cannot resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) days, the Parties will engage the Independent Accountant to resolve the dispute, the fees of which shall be split evenly between Buyer and Sellers, and the resolution by the Independent Accountant shall be final. Subject only to any adjustments to the Purchase Price as provided in this Agreement, the Parties agree (i) to be bound by the Purchase Price Allocation as finally determined, (ii) to act in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation as finally determined in the preparation of financial statements and filing of all Tax Returns (including filing Form 8594 with the United States federal Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date) and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or Tax litigation relating thereto, and (iii) to take no position and to cause their Affiliates to take no position inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation as finally determined for Tax purposes, including United States federal and state income Tax and foreign income Tax. No later than sixty days prior to the filing of their respective Forms 8594 relating to this transaction, the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall deliver to the other Party a copy of its Form 8594 (each Seller to provide its own Form 8594, with the aggregate amount to be consistent with the allocation described herein).

Section 2.4 Escrow. In connection with the Closing, the Sellers, the Buyer and the Escrow Agent shall enter into the Escrow Agreement. At the Closing, in accordance with Section 2.1, the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent the Escrow Amount for deposit into the Escrow Account, which will be available to satisfy the Sellers’ indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement, payment of any working capital adjustment pursuant to Section 2.2(c). and Sellers’ obligations with respect to the GSI Earnout in Section 6.13. The Escrow Amount shall be held and distributed pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Amount, less the GSI Earnout Escrow Amount, shall be released to the Sellers on the second Business Day following the date that is the twelfth (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Initial Escrow Release Date”), subject to the retention in escrow of the amount of any potential Losses determined by the Buyer in good faith for any pending unresolved claims of the Buyer that have been made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Sellers and fifty percent (50%) by the Buyer.

Section 2.5 No Set-Off. No Party shall have the right to set off any amount to which such Party is entitled under this Agreement for indemnification or otherwise against any payment such Party is required to make under this Agreement or under any Other Agreement.

The Buyer shall recognize, honor and assume all Liabilities for each Hired Employee’s unused PTO balance with the Sellers as of the Expiration Date.

(f) COBRA. After the Expiration Date and in accordance with applicable Law, Buyer shall provide or cause to be provided any required notice under COBRA. To the extent required by applicable Law, Buyer shall be responsible for obligations arising under COBRA resulting from the actions of Buyer, or at the direction of Buyer, on or after the day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or from the acquisitions contemplated by this Agreement or by the Employee Leasing Agreement, including, as applicable, providing COBRA coverage for employees or former employees (and their beneficiaries) of the Seller (a) who are currently receiving COBRA coverage or (b) whose employment is terminated effective as of the Expiration Date and, as a result thereof, are eligible to receive COBRA coverage.

Section 6.5 Confidentiality.

(a) Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. From and after the Closing Date, each of the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand (as such, a “Restricted Party”) shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose or use at any time (and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to disclose or use) any Confidential Information owned by the other Party (whether or not such information is or was developed by it), except to the extent that such disclosure or use is directly related to and required by the performance of its duties to the other Party or as required by Law or as otherwise provided hereunder. From and after the Closing Date, each Restricted Party further agrees to take commercially reasonable steps, to the extent within its control, to safeguard such Confidential Information owned by the other Party and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. In the event any of the Restricted Parties is required by Law to disclose any Confidential Information owned by the other Party, such Restricted Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing, which notification shall include the nature of the legal requirement and the extent of the required disclosure, and shall cooperate with the other Party’s reasonable requests to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information consistent with applicable Law. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information of a confidential or proprietary nature (whether or not specifically labeled or identified as “confidential”), in any form or medium, that relates to a Party’s business or its suppliers,

distributors, customers, independent contractors or other business relationships. Confidential Information includes the following as they relate to a Party’s business and, in each case, to the extent a Party obtains a commercial benefit from the secret nature of such information: internal business information (including information relating to strategic and staffing plans and practices, business, training, marketing, promotional and sales plans and practices, cost, rate and pricing structures, accounting and business methods and potential acquisition candidates); identities of, individual requirements of, and specific contractual arrangements with, the business’s suppliers, distributors, customers, independent contractors or other business relations and their confidential information; trade secrets, know-how, compilations of data and analyses, techniques, systems, formulae, research, records, reports, manuals, documentation, models, data and databases relating thereto; and inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, and reports. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include such information which: (A) at the time of disclosure is publicly available or thereafter becomes publicly available through no act or omission of a Restricted Party; (B) is thereafter disclosed or furnished to the Restricted Party by a third party who is not known by such Restricted Party to have acquired the information under an obligation of confidentiality; (C) is independently developed by the Restricted Party without the use of or reference to Confidential Information after the Closing Date; or (D) is disclosed by the Restricted Party (subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this subsection (a)) under compulsion of applicable Law.

(b) Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach by any Party of any of the provisions of subsection (a) above, the other Party may suffer irreparable harm for which no adequate remedy at law would exist, and damages may be difficult to determine. Consequently, in the event of any such breach, the other Party or its successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of subsection (a) above, in each case, without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

Section 6.6 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) Non-Competition.

(ii) Anything to the contrary in this Section 6.6 notwithstanding, and without implication that any of the following activities would otherwise violate the provisions of this Section 6.6, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude,

prohibit or restrict Sellers and their respective Affiliates from engaging, or require any Seller or any of their Affiliates not to engage, in any manner in any of the following:

(A) engaging in the business of import-export services, mail logistics services or carrier reselling and cross selling to customers that, in each case, is ancillary to the business communications services and marketing solutions provided to its customers;

(B) purchasing or owning up to and including ten percent (10%) of any class of securities of a publicly-held corporation (if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange and have been registered under applicable Law) engaged primarily in the Business;

(D) selling or otherwise disposing of any of their respective assets or businesses to a Person engaged in the Business or the acquisition of any Seller (whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of equity or otherwise); or

(E) the acquisition of any Person (whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of equity, purchase of assets or otherwise) after the Closing (an “After-Acquired Business”) by the Sellers or their respective Affiliates that engages in the Business, provided, that at the time of such acquisition, the revenues derived from the Business by such After-Acquired Business constitute no more than five percent (5%) of the gross revenues of the After-Acquired Business in the most recently completed fiscal year immediately prior to the date of such acquisition.

(iii) All obligations of the Sellers, their respective Affiliates or any successor of the foregoing under this Section 6.6(a) shall terminate in the event of a sale or merger of Buyer (other than to an Affiliate of Parent) or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Business.

(b) Customers. Each Seller agrees that it will not, during the Restricted Period, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, either directly or indirectly, individually or in partnership or in conjunction with any Person, whether as principal, agent, director, officer, employee, investor or in any other manner whatsoever, solicit, or attempt to solicit any customer listed on Schedule 6.6 to provide services substantially similar to the Business.

(c) Employees. Each Seller covenants and agrees that it will not, at any time during the Restricted Period, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, either directly or indirectly, offer employment to a Hired Employee or endeavour to entice a Hired Employee away from the Buyer, provided that nothing herein shall prevent each Seller from (i) employing a Hired Employee who independently responds to a general solicitation of employment by such Seller or (ii) employing a Hired Employee who through no intervention by such Seller, is no longer employed by the Buyer at the time of such Seller’s offer of employment to such Hired Employee.

(d) Injunctive Relief. Each Seller acknowledges that, without prejudice to any other rights of the Buyer, in the event of a violation or attempted violation of any of the provisions of this Section 6.6 an injunction or any other like remedy may be the only effective remedy to protect the rights and property of Buyer and that an interim injunction may be granted immediately on the commencement of any action without the requirement of posting bond.

Section 6.7 Restriction on Dissolution. Each Seller shall not dissolve or otherwise fail to maintain its existence as a legal entity (except via (a) involuntary bankruptcy or other involuntary insolvency proceeding or (b) merger or voluntary bankruptcy or other involuntary insolvency proceeding in which such Seller’s obligations and covenants hereunder are assumed by the surviving company) for a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date.

The covenants of the Buyer will survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.

(a) the Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Buyer and its Related Persons harmless from and against all Losses resulting from:

(i) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Sellers in Article III or elsewhere in this Agreement or in any Other Agreement;

(ii) the Sellers’ failure to perform or breach of any covenant made by it in this Agreement;

(iii) the ownership of any Excluded Assets or any Retained Liabilities;

(iv) any Liability related to the Assigned Contracts or the Purchased Assets which (A) is not included in the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital and (B) arises and is related to the operation or ownership of the Business for a period or portions thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date;

(v) any Liability for Taxes of the Seller which (A) is not included in the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital and (B) arises and is related to operation or ownership of the Purchased Assets or the Business for a period or portions thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date; or

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Sellers will indemnify the Buyer or its Related Persons for any Losses under Section 8.2(a)(i), for (x) the Fraudulent Representations and the Fundamental Representations made by the Sellers, without reference to the limitations below, and (y) all other representations and warranties made by the Sellers, subject to the limitation that such indemnification will not be made:

(i) to the extent that Losses arising from the aggregate of all claims for indemnification for the inaccuracy of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.10(b) hereof are $50,000 or less (the “Tangible Personal Property Minimum Claim Amount”);

(ii) unless and until the amount of all Losses for the inaccuracy of representations and warranties of the Sellers (other than those for individual claims that do not satisfy the Tangible Personal Property Minimum Claim Amount) exceeds $2,000,000, at which point the aggregate amount of all such Losses in excess of $800,000 shall be recoverable;

(iii) to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Losses for the inaccuracy of representations and warranties of the Sellers (other than those for individual claims that do not satisfy the Tangible Personal Property Minimum Claim Amount) exceeds the Escrow Amount (the “Cap”); and

(iv) to the extent that any Losses have been accrued on the Closing Schedule and accounted for in the final Closing Date Net Working Capital calculation.

The foregoing limitations on indemnification in this Section 8.3(a) shall not apply to Losses under Sections 8.2(a)(ii)-(vi), inclusive.

(b) Subject to the other limitations (to the extent applicable) in this Section 8.3, any Losses suffered by the Buyer shall be satisfied in accordance with this Section 8.3(b).

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement shall be net of (i) the net present value of any tax benefit (such as a deduction, credit or deferral) realized from any such Losses, less any costs incurred in securing such tax benefit, (ii) any insurance proceeds received with respect to such Losses, less all out of pocket third party costs, and (iii) reimbursements received from third parties. In the event any Losses are recoverable under insurance policies or other collateral sources, the Indemnified Parties shall use Reasonable Efforts to pursue recovery of such Losses under such insurance policies or other collateral sources. In the event an insurance or other recovery is received by any Indemnified Party, in each case with respect to any Losses for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the amount of the insurance or other recovery shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party that made or directed such indemnification payments to such Indemnified Party.

(e) For the purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses incurred in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, any and all qualifications by references to “material,” “materially,” “materially adverse,” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be disregarded.

Section 8.4 Procedure for Claims. If an Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim (the “Dispute Notice”) describing such claim in reasonable detail; provided that, so long as the survival periods set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b), as the case may be, have not expired, the failure to provide such notice will not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party unless it is actually prejudiced thereby.

Section 8.5 Third Party Claims. If an indemnification claim involves a claim by a third party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party will have thirty days after receipt of the Dispute Notice to elect to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen and paid for by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty days after the receipt of the Dispute Notice that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party will have the right to contest, settle or compromise such claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim, then as long as the Indemnifying Party is contesting such Third Party Claim in good faith, (a) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, and (b) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pretrial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of any Third Party Claim, including by providing the Indemnifying Party with reasonable access to employees and officers (including as witnesses) and other information.

Section 8.6 Exclusion of Other Remedies. The Parties agree that, from and after the Closing Date, the indemnification or reimbursement obligations of the Parties set forth in this Article VIII shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties for any Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of the matters set forth in this Agreement and the Other Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; provided, however, that the limitations in this Section 8.6 shall not apply with respect to (a) fraud or any Fraudulent Representations, or (b) any Action seeking to specifically enforce any covenant or agreement contained herein to be performed or complied with after the Closing.
