2.2 Closing; Closing Date.

The date upon which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date” and the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at 12:01 a.m. local time in New York, New York, on the Closing Date.

2.4 Adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(a) No later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall determine and deliver to the Buyer, with respect to each Specified Business Group, a statement, together with reasonable supporting documentation, setting forth the estimated Net Working Capital of such Specified Business Group (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”). The Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital of each Specified Business Group shall be determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied during the periods involved, utilizing to the extent consistent with GAAP the same methodology and adjustments as were used in preparing the Company Financial Statements. To the extent any of the items included in the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital for any Specified Business Group is set forth in a currency other than U.S. dollars, such item shall be converted into U.S. dollars in determining such Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, using an Exchange Rate that is determined by Parent as of a date not more than ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date. If the Buyer does not in good faith agree with any of the foregoing estimates by Parent (based on the historical Net Working Capital levels of the Business as derived from the Company Financial Statements), and Parent and the Buyer are unable, after consultation in good faith, to resolve such dispute prior to the Closing, for purposes of determining the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, such estimates shall be based on the average of Parent’s and the Buyer’s good faith estimates of the amounts in dispute. With respect to each Specified Business Group, if the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital for such Specified Business Group exceeds the Target Net Working Capital for such Specified Business Group (any such excess for such Specified Business Group, an “Estimated Excess Net Working Capital Amount”), then the Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be increased by the amount of such Estimated Excess Net Working Capital Amount; provided, that if the aggregate of all of the Estimated Excess Net Working Capital Amounts for all of the Specified Business Groups is greater than $10,000,000, then the Buyer’s obligation to pay the Estimated Excess Net Working Capital Amounts for all of the Specified Business Groups at the Closing shall be limited to $10,000,000 in the aggregate for all Specified Business Groups (with such limitation being applied to reduce each Estimated Excess Net Working Capital Amount for each Specified Business Group on a pro rata basis in accordance with the relative amount of cash and cash equivalents included in each such Estimated Excess Net Working Capital Amount) (the foregoing limitation, the “Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Limitation”); provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Buyer shall continue to be obligated to satisfy its obligations pursuant to Section 6.11(b). With respect to each Specified Business Group, if the Target Net Working Capital of such Specified Business Group exceeds the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital of such Specified Business Group, then the Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be reduced by the amount of such excess.

(b) As promptly as practicable and in any event within 60 days following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Parent, with respect to each Specified Business Group, a statement, in the same form as the statements delivered by Parent to the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(a), setting forth the actual final Net Working Capital of each Specified Business Group (the “Final Net Working Capital”); provided, that the applicable Exchange Rate for any item included in Final Net Working Capital for any Specified Business Group that is set forth in a currency other than U.S. dollars shall be determined as of the Closing Date. The Final Net Working Capital of each Specified Business Group shall be determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied during the periods involved, utilizing to the extent consistent with GAAP the same methodology and adjustments as were used in preparing the Company Financial Statements.

(c) Parent shall notify the Buyer within 45 days after receipt of notification of the Final Net Working Capital of each Specified Business Group of any objections thereto, setting forth in such notice a statement, together with reasonable supporting documentation, describing in reasonable detail such objections (an “Objection Notice”). If Parent does not deliver an Objection Notice within such 45 day period, then the Final Net Working Capital of each Specified Business Group shall be deemed final and conclusive and binding upon all of the parties hereto for the purposes of determining the U.S. dollar amounts therein. Each of the parties hereto shall each use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objection and to agree upon the definitive Final Net Working Capital of each Specified Business Group. If within 15 days after the Buyer’s receipt of an Objection Notice, the parties hereto have not resolved such objections and agreed upon the definitive Final Net Working Capital of each Specified Business Group, they shall submit such dispute to Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx to resolve any remaining objections (the “First Choice Firm”). If the First Choice Firm is unwilling to or otherwise cannot be engaged to resolve such dispute within 10 days after the expiration of such 15 day period, Parent and the Buyer will select by lot a nationally recognized valuation or consulting firm upon the expiration of such 10 day period (after excluding each party’s and its respective Affiliates’ regular accounting firms) (such firm, the “Second Choice Firm”). Parent and the Buyer shall cause the First Choice Firm or the Second Choice Firm, as the case may be, within 30 days after submission, to resolve such disagreement and to prepare the definitive Final Net Working Capital of each Specified Business Group in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied during the periods involved, utilizing to the extent consistent with GAAP the same methodology and adjustments as were used in preparing the Company Financial Statements, which resolution and definitive Final Net Working Capital of each Specified Business Group will be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the First Choice Firm or the Second Choice Firm, as the case may be, shall be limited to whether the items in dispute that were properly included in the Objection Notice were determined in accordance with this Agreement. The resolution by the First Choice Firm or the Second Choice Firm, as the case may be, of the matters properly included in the Objection Notice shall be based solely on presentations and written submissions by Parent and the Buyer and their respective representatives and not by independent review. The First Choice Firm or the Second Choice Firm, as the case may be, shall (i) address only those items in dispute and (ii) not assign a value greater than the

greatest value for such item claimed by Parent or the Buyer, or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by Parent or the Buyer. The determination of the First Choice Firm or the Second Choice Firm, as the case may be, will be based upon the definition of Net Working Capital set forth in this Agreement. If the parties hereto submit any unresolved objections to the First Choice Firm or the Second Choice Firm for resolution as provided in this Section 2.4(c), the fees and expenses of such First Choice Firm or Second Choice Firm, as the case may be, shall be borne equally by Parent and the Buyer.

(d) Upon the final determination of the Final Net Working Capital of each Specified Business Group in accordance with Section 2.4(c), if (i) the Final Net Working Capital of such Specified Business Group is less than the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital of such Specified Business Group, then Parent shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the amount by which the Final Net Working Capital of such Specified Business Group is less than the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital of such Specified Business Group, and the Purchase Price shall be so reduced; provided, that, Parent’s obligation to pay such amount shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Excess Net Working Capital Amount for such Specified Business Group, if any, actually paid by the Buyer at the Closing was reduced by the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Limitation, or (ii) the Final Net Working Capital of such Specified Business Group is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital of such Specified Business Group, then the Buyer shall pay to Parent an amount (any such excess for such Specified Business Group, a “Post-Closing Positive Adjustment Amount”) equal to the amount by which the Final Net Working Capital of such Specified Business Group is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital of such Specified Business Group, and the Purchase Price shall be so increased; provided, that, if (A) the aggregate of all of the Estimated Excess Net Working Capital Amounts for all of the Specified Business Groups plus (B) the aggregate of all of the Post-Closing Positive Adjustment Amounts for all of the Specified Business Groups, is greater than an amount equal to $10,000,000, then the Buyer’s obligation to pay the Post-Closing Positive Adjustment Amount for all of the Specified Business Groups shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the excess of (i) $10,000,000 over (ii) the aggregate amount of all of the Estimated Excess Net Working Capital Amounts for all of the Specified Business Groups actually paid by the Buyer at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(a) (with such limitation being applied to reduce each Post-Closing Positive Adjustment Amount for each Specified Business Group on a pro rata basis in accordance with the relative amount of cash and cash equivalents included in each such Post-Closing Positive Adjustment Amount) (the foregoing limitation, the “Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Limitation”); provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Buyer shall continue to be obligated to satisfy its obligations pursuant to Section 6.11(b).

(e) Any payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.4(d) shall be made by the Buyer, on the one hand, or by Parent, on the other hand, as applicable, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the bank account or accounts designated by the other in writing, within five Business Days after the final determination of the Final Net Working Capital pursuant to

Section 2.4(c). If, pursuant to Section 2.4(c) above, there is a dispute as to the final determination of the Final Net Working Capital, the Buyer and Parent shall promptly pay to the other, as appropriate, such amounts as are not then in dispute, pending final determination of such dispute pursuant to Section 2.4(c).

2.5 Allocation of the Purchase Price. No later than 90 days following the Closing Date, Parent shall determine and prepare an allocation for each of (a) the Hollander Shares, (b) the CSG Shares and the IMS Shares, (c) the Foreign Shares and (d) the Foreign Assets (and the Foreign Liabilities to the extent such Foreign Liabilities constitute part of the consideration in respect of the Purchase Price for Tax purposes), of the applicable portions of the Purchase Price set forth on Annex 2.1 hereto (the “Allocation”) payable to (i) Parent, (ii) ADP Atlantic, (iii) each of the Foreign Share Sellers and (iv) each of the Foreign Asset Sellers, respectively; provided, that Parent shall amend the Allocation to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price made in accordance with Section 2.4(d) no later than 90 days following the final determination thereof. Parent shall forward the Allocation (and any amendment thereto) to the Buyer for the Buyer’s consent. In the case of the allocation of the portion of the Purchase Price paid to ADP Nederland for the shares of Audatex Holding GmbH, as set forth in Annex 2.1 hereto, among the shares of the Foreign Companies held directly and indirectly by Audatex Holding GmbH, the allocation to each such Foreign Company shall not be outside the ranges set forth in Section 2.5 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule without the Buyer’s consent. So long as the allocation proposed by Parent with respect to such Foreign Companies is within such range, the Buyer may not withhold its consent to such allocation. If the Buyer does not consent to any aspect of the Allocation, to the extent it has the right to do so hereunder, the parties shall resolve such dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(c). The Buyer and the Sellers agree to use the Allocation (including any allocation of adjustments to the Purchase Price) in preparing and filing all required forms under Section 1060 of the Code and all other Tax Returns. The Buyer and the Sellers further agree that they shall not take any position inconsistent with the Allocation (including any allocation of adjustments to the Purchase Price) upon any examination of any such Tax Return, in any refund claim or in any tax Litigation. The Buyer and Parent shall notify the other within ten Business Days if it receives written notice that any Tax authority proposes any allocation different the Allocation (including the allocation of adjustments to the Purchase Price).

2.6 Section 338 Elections and Canadian Tax Elections and Certificates.

(a) Upon the request of the Buyer, Parent shall join with the Buyer in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and any corresponding or similar elections under state or local Tax law (each, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the purchase and sale of each of the Xxxxxxxxx Shares and the CSG Shares hereunder (but not with respect to the IMS Shares). Any such request shall be made by the Buyer in writing no later than 60 days after the Closing Date. The Buyer shall make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code (each, a “Section 338(g) Election”) with

respect to any of the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries that is organized outside the United States (the “Foreign Companies”).

(b) As soon as practicable after the date hereof, the Buyer shall prepare IRS Form 8023 and any similar or successor forms required by applicable state and local Laws (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Forms”). Parent shall cooperate with the Buyer in the preparation of the Section 338(h)(10) Forms and shall deliver such duly completed, executed copies of such Section 338(h)(10) Forms as are reasonably requested to complete any Section 338(h)(10) Election at least 30 days prior to the date that such documents or forms are required to be filed. The Buyer shall bear all responsibility for filing the executed Section 338(h)(10) Forms with the appropriate authorities.

(c) Parent shall prepare the allocation of the “aggregate deemed sales price” (the “ADSP”) with respect to the assets of each of Hollander and CSG and their respective Subsidiaries and for each of the Foreign Companies for which a Section 338(g) Election is to be made in accordance with Section 338 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or comparable provisions for state, local and foreign Law (each, an “ADSP Allocation”). Parent shall forward the ADSP Allocation (and any amendment thereto) to the Buyer for the Buyer’s consent. In the case of the ADSP Allocation among the assets of Xxxxxxxxx and CSG and their respective Subsidiaries, the allocation shall not be outside the ranges set forth in Section 2.6 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule without the Buyer’s consent. So long as the allocation proposed by Parent with respect to such assets is within such range, the Buyer may not withhold its consent to such allocation. If the Buyer does not consent to any aspect of the ADSP Allocation, to the extent it has the right to do so hereunder, the parties shall resolve such dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(c). The Buyer and Parent shall file, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to file, all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with any Section 338(h)(10) Election or Section 338(g) Election and ADSP Allocation and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable Tax laws or by a “final determination” (as defined in Section 10.8(b) hereto).

(d) ADP Canada and the Buyer shall elect jointly in prescribed form under section 22 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any corresponding provisions of provincial or territorial tax law with respect to the sale of the accounts receivable transferred by ADP Canada to the Buyer, and shall designate in such election an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such accounts receivable. ADP Canada and the Buyer or its assignee shall each file such election with their respective Canadian Federal income tax returns, or provincial tax returns, as the case may be, for their respective taxation years that include the Closing.

(e) ADP Canada and the Buyer shall elect jointly in prescribed form under subsection 20(24) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and corresponding provisions of any applicable provincial or territorial tax law with respect to any applicable undertakings which are being assumed by the Buyer as contemplated in such provision. ADP Canada and the Buyer acknowledge that ADP Canada shall be regarded

as having made a payment for purposes of subsection 20(24) in respect to such assumption by transferring a portion of the Foreign Assets located in Canada to the Buyer.

(f) If applicable, at the Closing ADP Canada and the Buyer or its permitted assignee that purchases the Foreign Assets located in Canada shall execute jointly an election under Section 167 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and its equivalent in Quebec pursuant to section 75 of the Act respecting the Quebec sales tax to have the sale of the Foreign Assets located in Canada take place on a goods and services tax-free basis under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and on a Quebec sales tax-free basis pursuant to the Act respecting the Quebec sales tax. The Buyer or its permitted assignee that purchases the Foreign Assets located in Canada shall file the elections in the manner and within the time prescribed by the relevant legislation. The Buyer shall indemnify ADP Canada for any resulting costs, including any penalties or interest, of ADP Canada in the event such election is entered into but is not available for whatever reason.

2.7 Delayed Czech Reorganization.

(a) If and to the extent that Parent in good faith determines that the transfer of the assets and liabilities primarily related to the Business from Czech Audatex to Czech Shelfco (the “Czech Business Assets”) intended to be consummated in the form of a partial “sale of enterprise” (for purposes of the Laws of the Czech Republic) of Czech Audatex as a part of the Reorganization (the “Czech Reorganization”) could result in a violation of applicable Law or otherwise adversely affect the rights of the Buyer to own and operate indirectly the Czech Business Assets from and after the Closing Date as a result of the failure to obtain any consents, approvals, authorizations or actions of, or make any filings with or give any notices to, any Governmental Body in connection with the Czech Reorganization, in each case as set forth in Section 2.7(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Czech Consents and Notices”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the consummation of the Czech Reorganization shall not be deemed to be a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to enter into and complete the Closing, (ii) the Czech Reorganization shall be automatically deemed deferred and shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments have been removed and/or all Czech Consents and Notices have been made or obtained, (iii) the Foreign Shares of Czech Shelfco shall not be included in the Foreign Shares for purposes of Sections 2.1(c) and 2.3(d), (iv) the execution of the Foreign Share Transfer Agreement relating to the Foreign Shares of Czech Shelfco and the occurrence of the transactions contemplated thereby shall not be deemed to be conditions to the obligations of the parties hereto to enter into and complete the Closing and (v) there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price at the Closing with respect to such deferral of the Czech Reorganization.

(b) If the Czech Reorganization has not occurred on or prior to the Closing as set forth in Section 2.7(a), then Parent or its Affiliate shall thereafter, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, directly or indirectly, hold the Czech Business Assets subject to the provisions of this Section 2.7(b). Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.7(b), if the Czech Reorganization has not occurred on or prior to the Closing,

(i) Parent or its Affiliate shall be entitled to, and shall be responsible for, the management of any Czech Business Assets not transferred to Czech Shelfco as set forth in Section 2.7(a), (ii) Section 6.6(c) hereto shall continue to apply mutatis mutandis to the Czech Business Assets and Czech Shelfco until the Czech Closing Date and the Buyer shall otherwise be entitled to be kept informed and consulted with respect to the management of any such Czech Business Assets and Czech Shelfco, (iii) Section 6.1 hereto shall continue to apply mutatis mutandis to the Czech Business Assets and Czech Shelfco until the Czech Closing Date, provided that for this purpose the term “Material Contract” shall mean any Contract that is material to the Czech Business Assets and/or Czech Shelfco and the $1,000,000 threshold set forth in Section 6.1(b)(xi) shall be deemed to be $200,000, (iv) subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(c), none of Parent or any of its Affiliates will enter into a Contract with Czech Shelfco that would be included within the Czech Business Assets without the prior written consent of the Buyer, (v) all royalty and other Contracts with any Transferred Company or any Subsidiary that are included within the Czech Business Assets or to which Czech Shelfco is or will become a party on the Closing Date may not be amended, modified or terminated without the prior written consent of the Buyer and Parent shall cause any royalties payable under such Contracts to continue to be paid, and (vi) the Sellers and the Buyer agree to cooperate and coordinate with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) through (v). In connection with the Czech Closing, Parent shall comply with the provisions of Section 6.12 with respect to Czech Shelfco as if the references to the “Closing Date” in such Section were instead references to the “Czech Closing Date.” During the period from the Closing until the earlier of the Czech Closing Date and December 31, 2006, (i) Parent or its Affiliate shall be entitled to retain an amount equal to all revenue generated by the Czech Business Assets and shall pay or cause to be paid all expenses of the Czech Business Assets and (ii) for each month (or portion thereof) beginning with the last day of the first full calendar month following the Closing, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Buyer or its designee an amount equal to $100,000 in cash by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the Buyer.

(c) Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Czech Consents and Notices and to cause the Czech Closing to occur, in each case, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, and the Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent and its Affiliates in obtaining such Czech Consents and Notices. If and when the Czech Consents and Notices are obtained, and any applicable legal impediments are removed, and in any event no later than December 31, 2006, the consummation of the Czech Reorganization and the transfer of the Foreign Shares of Czech Shelfco to the Buyer shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and a Foreign Share Transfer Agreement to be entered into and consummated (such consummation, the “Czech Closing”) no later than ten Business Days thereafter (the date of such consummation, the “Czech Closing Date”).

(b) For a period of ten years after the Closing Date the Sellers and their Affiliates shall (i) provide the Buyer and its professional advisors with reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to the Sellers’ and their Affiliates’ books and records relating to the operation of the Business before the Closing Date if reasonably required in connection with any Litigation, any Tax audit, the preparation of any Tax Returns or the preparation of any financial statements that include the financial results of all or part of the Business for any period prior to the Closing and (ii) cooperate with and assist the Buyer and its professional advisors in connection with the preparation of any audited financial statements that include the financial results of all or part of the Business for any period prior to the Closing (including using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain accountants’ comfort and reliance letters and management representation letters).

(c) Between the date hereof and the Closing, the Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies to, afford the Buyer, its financing sources in connection with the Debt Financing and its professional advisors (collectively, the “Buyer Group”) reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to all of the properties, personnel, contracts and agreements, books and records of the Business and shall promptly deliver or make available to the Buyer information concerning the business, properties, assets and personnel of the Business as the Buyer may from time to time reasonably request. Prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer shall not have any direct or indirect contacts with any suppliers, customers or competitors of the Business regarding the Transaction or the Business without the prior consent of Parent or its representatives, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that Parent shall be deemed to have provided such consent with respect to any such supplier, customer or competitor if and to the extent that Xxxxxx Xxxxxx or the President of CSG expressly requests that the Buyer contact such supplier, customer or competitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent hereby agrees that between the date hereof and the Closing, the Lenders may contact up to five customers of the Business identified to Parent, as long as one or more representatives of each of the Buyer and Parent shall be present during any such contacts or meetings. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Buyer Group may have contact with the Buyer’s suppliers, customers and competitors in the ordinary course of the Buyer’s business and nothing herein shall restrict any such contact by any of the Buyer Group; provided, however, that any such contact shall not relate to, or otherwise include, the Business or disclosure of the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Buyer shall hold, and shall cause its professional

advisors to hold, all Confidential Information (as such term is defined in the Non-Disclosure Agreement) in confidence in accordance with the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement and, in the event of the termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Buyer promptly shall return all Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement.

(d) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, within 20 days after the end of each calendar month beginning with the calendar month ending January 31, 2006, Parent shall furnish to the Buyer an unaudited monthly combined balance sheet of the Business (without giving effect to the Reorganization), for the month then ended and related statements of combined earnings, group equity and cash flows, in each case, prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied during the periods involved, in a manner consistent with Parent’s Accounting Policies and in the same format as the Unaudited Financial Statements. Parent is not making any representation or warranty with respect to such information and shall have no liability for its contents, except in the case of Parent’s or its Affiliates’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.7 Preservation of Records. The Buyer, at its own expense, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve and keep material records held by it or the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries or included in the Foreign Assets relating to the Sellers, the Transferred Companies, the Subsidiaries, the Foreign Assets, the Foreign Liabilities or the Business for a period of ten years from the Closing Date, during which time the Buyer shall provide the Sellers reasonable access to such records during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice solely for purposes of complying with any applicable Tax Laws or in connection with any Tax audit or communications with any taxing authority. The Buyer may destroy such records after that time, but not if Parent requests in writing within six months prior to such time that such records not be destroyed, in which case the Buyer may give 90 days prior written notice to Parent that details the general topics of the records to be destroyed; provided, that if Parent elects to take possession of such records by written notice to the Buyer within such 90 day period, Parent shall take possession of such records at its own expense within 90 days of the date of such notice to the Buyer.

6.8 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all action and to do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable consistent with applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (a) contesting any legal proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) executing any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If at any time after the Closing Date any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of each party hereto shall take all such necessary action.

6.9 Names and Marks.

(a) The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.9, the Buyer has no rights in and to “ADP” or “Automatic Data Processing” (the “ADP Marks”), any marks, names, trade names or trademarks incorporating the ADP Marks, any derivation thereof or any marks or names confusingly similar thereto or any corporate symbols or logos incorporating the ADP Marks. The ADP Marks and any marks, names, logos or symbols incorporating the ADP Marks, including those set forth in Section 6.9(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Retained Marks”), and any goodwill represented by the ADP Marks and pertaining to the ADP Marks are and will remain the sole property of, or will be fully assigned to, Parent and/or the other Sellers or the applicable Company or Subsidiary. Except as provided in Section 6.9(b), the Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that following the Closing Date the Buyer shall not have any right, title or interest in and to, or right to use in any manner, including in connection with any advertising, marketing or solicitation efforts, the Retained Marks. After the Reorganization and Closing, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer or its Affiliate, or a Transferred Company or Subsidiary, as applicable, shall own the trademarks or service marks owned by the Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant hereto, including the trademarks or service marks that, prior to the date hereof, have been combined with the ADP Marks in the Retained Marks. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Sellers and their Affiliates may not, after the Reorganization and Closing, use the non-ADP Xxxx portion of any of the Retained Marks which solely relate to the Business. The Buyer and its Affiliates may not use the ADP Marks or the Retained Marks, except as otherwise provided herein and in the Transition Services Agreement, after the Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 6.9(a), the Transferred Companies, the Subsidiaries and the Buyer may use the Retained Marks for a reasonable period of time following the Closing not to exceed 90 days (except as may be expressly provided in the Transition Services Agreement): (i) in correspondence with customers and the public for the purpose of informing them of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) on any pre existing inventory, stationery, business cards, labels, packaging materials, containers, signs, panels, flags, brochures, manuals, literature, invoices, internet materials, real property signage, and other material or matter (regardless of medium) used in the Business bearing or containing the Retained Marks. During such period, the Buyer shall not, and shall procure that the Transferred Companies and the Subsidiaries shall not, knowingly (or in circumstances where they ought reasonably to have known) do anything to prejudice or endanger the value or validity of the Retained Marks and the Buyer shall, and shall procure that the Transferred Companies and the Subsidiaries shall, comply promptly with any instructions from Parent relating to any Transferred Company’s and/or Subsidiary’s use of the Retained Marks that may prejudice or endanger the value or validity of the Retained Marks. At the end of such period, the Buyer shall, and shall procure that each of the Transferred Companies and the Subsidiaries shall, forthwith procure that all remaining items on which the Retained Marks appear are either destroyed or that the Retained Marks are removed or obliterated.

(c) The Buyer covenants that it will not hereafter adopt, use, or register or authorize others to adopt, use, or register, any trade names, trademarks, service marks or Internet domain names consisting of or incorporating the ADP Marks or any marks, names or Internet domain names confusingly similar thereto.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the representations and warranties provided by the Sellers pursuant to Article III and Article IV shall not apply to the Retained Marks, except with respect to liability incurred by the Buyer as a direct result of a claim covered by Section 4.14(c) with respect to a Transferred Company’s or Subsidiary’s use of the Retained Marks prior to Closing.

6.10 Employee and Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Scope of Section. This Section 6.10 contains the covenants and agreements of the parties with respect to (i) the status of employment of the employees of Parent, the Companies and the Subsidiaries, employed in the Business as of the Closing Date (“Employees”), and (ii) the employee benefits and employee benefit plans provided to or covering any such Employee and former employees of Parent, the Companies and the Subsidiaries who terminated employment with Parent, the Companies and the Subsidiaries while employed in the Business or retired from the Business (“Former Employees”). Nothing herein expressed or implied confers upon any Employee or Former Employee any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.10. Except to the extent expressly assumed by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.10, Parent shall assume and retain and have sole responsibility for all liabilities, obligations, and commitments at any time relating to or arising under or in connection with any Company Benefit Plan, any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), and any other benefit plan, program, or arrangement of any kind at any time maintained, sponsored, or contributed or required to be contributed to by Parent, the Companies, any of the Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Affiliates, or with respect to which Parent, the Companies, any of the Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Affiliates has any current or potential obligation or liability.

(b) U.S. Employees. This Section 6.10(b) applies only to Employees and Former Employees employed or previously employed by the Business in the United States (“U.S. Employees” and “Former U.S. Employees,” respectively). Parent represents to the Buyer that Section 6.10(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all U.S. Employees as of a date not more than 30 Business Days prior to the date hereof.

(i) Employment.

(1) The Buyer shall cause the Companies or Subsidiaries, as appropriate, to continue effective as of the Closing Date the employment of all U.S. Employees who are employed by any of the Companies or Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “U.S. Transferred Employees”). A U.S. Employee who is absent immediately prior to the Closing

Date due to vacation, holiday, authorized leave of absence, illness, injury or short-term disability (but not long-term disability) shall be considered to be employed immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall cause the Companies or the Subsidiaries, as appropriate, to provide each U.S. Transferred Employee until at least December 31, 2006, with base pay, substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided by the applicable Company or Subsidiary on the day before the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to affect the ability of the Buyer, the Companies, the Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates to terminate the employment of any employee (including any U.S. Transferred Employee) at any time and for any or no reason or alter the “at-will” employment status of any Employee currently possessing such status.

(2) If the Buyer requires a U.S. Employee’s principal place of business on or prior to December 31, 2006 to be more than 50 miles from the U.S. Employee’s current principal place of business with the applicable Company or Subsidiary prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that if such U.S. Employee refuses to accept such offer, the Buyer shall be liable for the severance pay benefit described in Section 6.10(b)(v)(1) to which such U.S. Employee may be entitled under Parent’s or the applicable Company’s or Subsidiary’s severance plan or applicable Law. If the Buyer terminates the employment of any U.S. Transferred Employee on or prior to December 31, 2006 (other than any temporary employee or any employee whose principal duties are or were not performed in connection with the Business), the Buyer shall pay such U.S. Transferred Employee a severance benefit, consisting of notice pay and salary continuation, that shall in no event be less than, or paid later than, the severance benefit, if any, to which such U.S. Transferred Employee would have been entitled if Parent’s or the applicable Company’s or Subsidiary’s severance plans, as in effect as of the Closing Date, applied to such termination of employment. For purposes of the preceding sentence, service with both Parent (or the applicable Company or Subsidiary) and the Buyer shall be taken into account in computing the amount of such benefit.

(ii) Pension Plan. Effective as of the Closing Date, Parent shall cause each U.S. Employee who is a participant under the Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Pension Retirement Plan (“Parent’s Pension Plan”) to become fully vested in such participant’s accrued benefit under the Parent’s Pension Plan determined as of the Closing Date.

(iii) Savings Plans. The Buyer shall maintain or establish as soon as practicable following the Closing Date a tax-qualified defined contribution savings plan (“Buyer’s Savings Plan”), which shall, for the period between the Closing Date and December 31, 2006, provide benefits substantially comparable in the aggregate to the benefits options available under the Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Retirement and Savings Plan (“Parent’s Savings Plan”). All service of the U.S. Transferred Employees with Parent, a Company or Subsidiary shall be taken into account for purposes of determining eligibility and

vesting under Buyer’s Savings Plan. U.S. Transferred Employees shall be eligible to effect a direct rollover (as described in Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of all of any such U.S. Transferred Employee’s balance under Parent’s Savings Plan (other than any after-tax employee contributions) solely in the form of cash and promissory notes attributable to loans made to such U.S. Transferred Employees under Parent’s Savings Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of each such plan, to Buyer’s Savings Plan. Prior to or on the Closing Date, Parent shall contribute to Parent’s Savings Plan on behalf of the U.S. Employees a pro-rated portion of the employer match that would otherwise have been contributed on behalf of such employees if no end-of-year employment requirement applied for purposes of receiving such match, and shall cause each U.S. Employee who is a participant under the Parent’s Savings Plan to become fully vested in such participant’s accrued benefit under the Parent’s Savings Plan determined as of the Closing Date.

(iv) Executive Retiree Health Insurance Benefits. The Buyer shall not assume any liabilities or obligations of Parent or any Company or Subsidiary for (i) benefits payable to Former U.S. Employees who retire prior to the Closing Date under any of Parent’s or the applicable Company’s or Subsidiary’s executive retiree medical benefit programs covering retired employees and (ii) the provision of any retiree medical benefits to any U.S. Employee (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof) including any U.S. Transferred Employee.

(v) Employee Welfare Plans.

(1) Parent shall remain responsible for and shall assume and pay all liabilities and obligations of Parent and any of the Companies or Subsidiaries for the benefits payable or to become payable to U.S. Employees and their beneficiaries under the medical, dental, life insurance, disability, severance and other welfare benefit plans and programs covering U.S. Employees identified in Section 6.10(b)(v)(1) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (collectively “Parent’s Welfare Benefit Plans”); with the exception of any flexible spending plan to the extent provided in Section 6.10(b)(v)(2) immediately below and any vacation pay for which the Companies and the Subsidiaries remain liable pursuant to Section 6.10(b)(vi)(4) below. Parent hereby agrees that (i) any U.S. Employee or Former U.S. Employee who (A) as of the Closing Date is receiving or entitled to receive short-term disability benefits and who subsequently becomes eligible to receive long-term disability benefits, or (B) as of the Closing Date is receiving or entitled to receive long-term disability benefits, shall become eligible or continue to be eligible, as applicable, to receive long-term disability benefits under Parent’s long-term disability plan unless and until such individual is no longer disabled, and that (ii) Parent shall be solely liable for any obligations or liabilities of any kind of any Company or any Subsidiary arising in connection with any U.S. Employee or Former U.S. Employee who is receiving or entitled to receive long-term disability benefits as of the Closing Date.

(2) The Buyer shall have established as of the Closing Date plans or programs to provide welfare benefits to U.S. Transferred Employees that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided under Parent’s Welfare Benefit Plans (other than any retiree medical plan) immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall, through the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, maintain health care and dependent care flexible spending accounts established under Section 125 of the Code (the “Buyer FSA”). The Buyer FSA shall provide that U.S. Transferred Employees, other than those U.S. Transferred Employees who elect to continue to participate in the ADP Health Care Spending Account Plan (the “Parent FSA”) pursuant to COBRA, shall participate in the Buyer FSA and each such U.S. Transferred Employee shall be credited immediately following the Closing Date under the Buyer FSA with amounts available for reimbursement equal to such amounts as were credited under the Parent FSA with respect to such person immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall give effect under the Buyer FSA to any elections made by U.S. Transferred Employees, other than those U.S. Transferred Employees who elect to continue to participate in the Parent FSA pursuant to COBRA, with respect to the Parent FSA for the year in which the Closing Date occurs. Parent shall transfer cash to the Buyer, to an account specified by the Buyer, no later than 30 days following the Closing Date, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all balances held by the U.S. Transferred Employees, other than those U.S. Transferred Employees who elect to continue to participate in the Parent FSA pursuant to COBRA, under the Parent FSA as of the Closing Date, together with Parent’s cash contribution for each U.S. Transferred Employee’s FSA account (which contribution shall be made by Parent pursuant to the terms of the plan). The parties hereto agree to make reasonable, good faith efforts to implement the provisions of this section to take into account the complexity of transferring flexible spending accounts. Such welfare plan or plans established by the Buyer shall, where applicable, (i) credit all service with Parent or any Company or Subsidiary for all purposes, including eligibility, participation and benefit entitlement for the U.S. Transferred Employees to the extent credited as of the Closing Date under an analogous Parent Welfare Benefit Plan, (ii) in the year in which the Closing Date occurs waive any pre-existing condition, limitation or exclusion or any actively-at-work requirement for the U.S. Transferred Employees to the extent waived or satisfied under an analogous Parent Welfare Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date, (iii) in the year in which the Closing Date occurs credit all payments made under an analogous Parent Welfare Benefit Plan with respect to U.S. Transferred Employees for healthcare expenses during the current plan year for purposes of deductibles, co-payments and maximum out-of-pocket limits and (iv) until at least December 31, 2006, provide benefits and cost sharing features which are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided under Parent’s Welfare Benefit Plans (other than any retiree medical plan) as of the date hereof. Parent shall facilitate arranging appropriate healthcare provider contacts so that the Buyer can establish welfare benefit plans and arrangements as required by this subsection.

(vi) Other Compensation Arrangements.

(1) Parent shall cause all options to purchase shares of Parent’s common stock that were granted prior to January 1, 2006 and are held as of the Closing Date by Employees to become fully vested and immediately exercisable by such Employees effective as of the Closing, and such options shall remain exercisable for at least 60 days after the Closing Date.

(2) The Buyer shall establish on or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date and effective as of the Closing Date, long-term and short-term incentive compensation plans (other than any equity-based plans) for U.S. Transferred Employees which, until June 30, 2006, shall provide participation, eligibility, vesting, benefit determination and benefit payment provisions that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to that provided under Parent’s or the applicable Company’s or Subsidiary’s incentive compensation plans (other than any equity-based plan) as of the date hereof. With respect to the applicable performance period in which the Closing occurs, the Buyer shall determine any incentive compensation awards for U.S. Transferred Employees under the Buyer’s incentive compensation plan by taking into account each such U.S. Transferred Employee’s service and performance with both Parent (or the applicable Company or Subsidiary) and the Buyer during such applicable performance period except to the extent any duplication of benefits would result. Parent shall be relieved of any obligation to make incentive compensation payments to U.S. Transferred Employees for the calendar year in which Closing Date occurs solely to the extent any such obligations that relate to any period of time on or prior to the Closing Date are included in the Final Net Working Capital.

(3) The Buyer shall, as of the Closing Date, assume, be responsible for and pay all amounts which become due or payable to U.S. Employees after the Closing Date pursuant to the retention, separation and other agreements with Parent or the applicable Company or Subsidiary which are listed in Section 6.10(b)(vi)(3) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Employee Transaction Agreements”) to the extent such liabilities are included in the Additional Adjustment Amount.

(4) As of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall assume and pay or cause to be paid, when due, all liabilities and obligations of Parent and any applicable Company or Subsidiary relating to accrued vacation as of the Closing Date with respect to U.S. Transferred Employees to the extent such liabilities are included in the Final Net Working Capital. For the avoidance of doubt, the respective U.S. Transferred Employee shall be entitled to either use such vacation time on terms substantially similar to those in effect under the vacation policy of Parent or such Company or Subsidiary as of the Closing Date, or, consistent with such applicable vacation policy, receive payment in respect of such accrued vacation upon the U.S. Transferred Employee’s termination of employment with the Buyer.

(5) As of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall assume and pay, when due, all liabilities and obligations for time periods ending on December 31, 2006 of Parent and any applicable Company or Subsidiary relating to U.S. Transferred Employees participating in Parent’s or the applicable Company’s or Subsidiary’s tuition reimbursement program as of the Closing Date. The Buyer shall, as of the Closing Date, establish a tuition reimbursement program for U.S. Transferred Employees with benefits and cost-sharing features which through December 31, 2006 are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided under Parent’s or the applicable Company’s or Subsidiary’s tuition reimbursement plan immediately prior to the Closing.

(vii) Severance and WARN Liability. The Buyer agrees to pay and be responsible for all liability, cost or expense for severance, termination indemnity payments, salary continuation, special bonuses and like costs that are fully disclosed to the Buyer before the Closing Date and that arise from the termination of employment of a U.S. Employee by the Buyer on or after the Closing Date, including any such costs attributable to the Buyer’s termination of U.S. Transferred Employees, which if aggregated with any conduct of Parent or any Company or Subsidiary prior to the Closing Date, triggers obligations under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, and any similar applicable foreign, state or local law, regulation or ordinance (collectively, “WARN” or the “WARN Act”). The Buyer agrees to pay and be responsible for all liability, cost, expense and sanctions resulting from any failure to comply with WARN in connection with the consummation of the Transaction. Parent agrees to provide to the Buyer, no later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a list by location and date of all full-time employees permanently laid off by the Companies or Subsidiaries in the 90-day period immediately preceding the Closing Date.

(viii) Health Care Continuation Coverage. The Buyer agrees to provide U.S. Transferred Employees and their covered beneficiaries with continuation coverage required by COBRA as a result of “qualifying events” (as defined in Section 4980B of the Code) which occur on or after the Closing Date. Parent shall be solely responsible for satisfying the continuation coverage requirements for group health plans under COBRA for all current and former employees, officers, directors, contractors and agents (and eligible dependents and beneficiaries thereof) of any Company or any Subsidiary who are receiving COBRA continuation coverage as of the Closing Date or who are entitled to elect to receive such coverage on account of a “qualifying event” (as such term is defined under COBRA) occurring prior to the Closing Date.

(ix) IRS Form W-2. The parties agree that they shall comply with the alternative procedure of Section 5 of IRS Revenue Procedure 96-60, 1996-2 C.B. 399 and Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 99-50, 1999-52 I.R.B. 757, and that the Buyer shall prepare and file Forms W-2 for the U.S. Employees for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs and Parent, the Companies and the Subsidiaries shall be relieved of preparing IRS Forms W-2 for

the U.S. Employees for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall be solely responsible for preparing IRS Forms W-2 for all U.S. Employees and Former U.S. Employees for the 2005 calendar year.

(x) Workers’ Compensation. Parent shall be responsible for the administration and the financial obligation of all U.S. workers’ compensation claims with respect to all U.S. Employees and Former U.S. Employees arising out of or relating to occurrences before the Closing Date.

(c) Non-U.S. Employees. This Section 6.10(c) applies only to Employees and Former Employees employed by or previously employed in the Business outside of the United States (the “Non-U.S. Business”). Parent represents to the Buyer that Section 6.10(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all Employees other than U.S. Employees as of a date not more than 30 Business Days prior to the date hereof.

(i) Scope of Section. This Section 6.10(c) contains covenants and agreements of the parties on and as of the Closing Date with respect to:

(1) the status of employment of the Employees employed by Parent or any Company or Subsidiary in the Non-U.S. Business, whether hourly or salaried, and who are actively at work on the Closing Date, or who are absent on the Closing Date due to vacation or holiday or other leave, whether paid or unpaid, or due to illness (the “Non-U.S. Employees”) upon the sale of the Business to the Buyer; and

(2) the Company Benefit Plans provided or covering such Non-U.S. Employees and certain former employees of Parent or any Company or Subsidiary (the “Non-U.S. Former Employees”) who terminated employment with Parent or any Company or Subsidiary while employed in the Non-U.S. Business or retired from the Non-U.S. Business (the “Non-U.S. Benefits Plans”).

(ii) Employment and Other Employee Matters.

(1) For those Non-U.S. Employees that are not employed by any Transferred Company or Subsidiary and for those Non-U.S. Employees that are employed by a Foreign Asset Seller, in each case, identified in Section 6.10(c)(ii)(1) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Specified Non-U.S. Employees”), the parties understand and agree that wherever legally permissible or required, the Specified Non-U.S. Employees shall become employees of the Buyer, or of its nominee acquiring the relevant part of the Business, by operation of any applicable Laws (“National Laws”) or pursuant to the terms of any necessary transfer agreement relating to that jurisdiction. If for any reason the employment of a Specified Non-U.S. Employee does not

transfer to the Buyer under National Laws or transfer agreements, the Buyer shall make an offer of employment to such Specified Non-U.S. Employee effective as of the Closing Date on terms and conditions which are no less favorable in the aggregate than those on which they are currently employed. The offer shall provide that service with the Sellers or their Affiliates shall count as service with the Buyer for all purposes, including under its benefit plans, save where this would result in duplication of benefits received or prospectively payable. However, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any offers of employment made by the Buyer to Specified Non-U.S. Employees who are on leave due to illness or disability will be conditional on such Specified Non-U.S. Employee returning to active employment in the Non-U.S. Business within 90 days following the Closing. The Sellers or their Affiliates will provide the Buyer with such information about the Non-U.S. Employees as it may reasonably require in order to make offers of employment in accordance with this Section 6.10(c)(ii)(1) to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Buyer shall indemnify the Sellers and their Affiliates for all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including reasonable fees for outside counsel, accountants and other outside consultants) suffered or incurred by them and arising from the Buyer’s failure to comply with this Section 6.10(c)(ii)(1).

(2) Except with respect to those plans to be assumed by the Buyer under this Agreement or by operation of Law, each Non-U.S. Employee and Non-U.S. Former Employee shall cease participation in all Non-U.S. Benefits Plans on the Closing Date. The Sellers and their Affiliates shall retain all liabilities under or in respect of all Non-U.S. Benefit Plans not assumed by the Buyer under this Agreement or by operation of applicable Law. Neither the Buyer nor its Affiliates shall have any responsibility or liability under or in respect of any Non-U.S. Benefit Plan unless such plan is assumed by the Buyer under this Agreement or by operation of applicable Law.

(3) For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer accepts that it shall be solely responsible for any amounts becoming payable to Non-U.S. Employees under any National Laws as a result of their being dismissed by the Buyer at any time on or after the Closing Date, notwithstanding that such amount may be calculated under the National Laws by reference to periods of employment with Parent or any of the Companies and Subsidiaries as well as periods of employment with the Buyer.

(4) The Buyer shall indemnify the Sellers and their Affiliates against all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including reasonable fees for outside counsel, accountants and other outside consultants) suffered or incurred by them and arising out of or in connection with any claim by a Non-U.S. Employee (whether in contract or in tort or under statute or at common law for any remedy, including for breach of contract, unfair dismissal, redundancy, statutory redundancy, equal pay, sex, race or disability discrimination, unlawful deductions from wages or for breach of statutory duty or of any nature) as a result of anything

done or omitted to be done by the Buyer in violation of its obligations under this Agreement.

(5) If the Buyer or one of its Affiliates terminates the employment of any Non-U.S. Employee prior to December 31, 2006, the Buyer or the relevant Affiliate shall pay such Non-U.S. Employee a redundancy, termination or severance benefit that shall in no event be less than, nor paid later than, the redundancy, termination or severance benefit required by National Law or a collective bargaining agreement then in effect. The Buyer shall assume (and Parent shall neither assume nor retain) any liabilities or obligations of Parent or any Company or Subsidiary related to any severance, sale bonus, retention or similar plan or Contract related to the acquisition of the ABZ Entities or the businesses carried on by such entities by Parent or its Affiliates (the “ABZ Retention Plans”).

(6) The Buyer declares to Parent that the Buyer or its Affiliate employing the relevant Non-US Employees will accept the benefit and the burden of the collective bargaining agreements covering Non-U.S. Employees as if such agreements had been made by the Buyer or its Affiliate and not by Parent or any Foreign Asset Seller.

(7) The Non-U.S. Employees will no longer be eligible to participate in or receive awards under any stock option, stock purchase or other stock plan of Parent and any Foreign Asset Seller as of the Closing Date.

(8) From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall, and shall cause the Transferred Companies and Subsidiaries to, assume and pay when due, all liabilities and obligations of Parent or any Foreign Asset Seller relating to accrued vacation or leave benefits and allowances of Non-U.S. Employees as of the Closing Date but only to the extent such liabilities have been included in the Final Net Working Capital.

(9) With respect to the period between the Closing Date and June 30, 2006, the Buyer shall be responsible for and pay, or cause its Affiliate employing the relevant Non-US Employee to pay, a cash incentive compensation award to each Non-U.S. Employee who is eligible for an award under Parent’s or Foreign Asset Seller’s incentive compensation plans for such year which is at least equal to the incentive compensation award such Non-U.S. Employee would have received under Parent’s or any Foreign Asset Seller’s compensation plans immediately prior to the Closing Date, had such Non-U.S. Employee remained employed by Parent or such Foreign Asset Seller through June 30, 2006 but only to the extent liabilities for such obligations have been included in the Final Net Working Capital. Parent and any applicable Foreign Asset Seller shall be relieved of any obligation to make incentive compensation payments for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs but only to the extent such liabilities have been included in the Final Net Working Capital.

(10) To the extent permitted by Law, the Buyer shall give to Parent, and Parent shall give to the Buyer, on a timely basis all requisite and pertinent information which Parent and the Buyer, respectively, may require in order to comply with their respective obligations with respect to the Non-U.S. Employees.

6.11 Inter-Company Dividends and Distributions; Excess Cash.

(a) Pre-Closing Dividends. Other than Section 4.5(e), nothing set forth in this Agreement (including Section 6.1) shall interfere with, delay, or prevent the dividend, distribution or making of loans from time to time of any cash on hand among the Sellers, any Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates prior to the close of business on the day before the Closing Date; provided, that any such dividends or distributions made in respect of equity interests by a Transferred Company or Subsidiary are paid at the same time to the applicable equityholders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective equity interests.

(b) Excess Cash at Closing. Following the Closing:

(i) This Section 6.11(b)(i) is subject to the provisions of Section 6.11(b)(ii). If there is an Excess Parent Cash Amount, then the Buyer shall be obligated to pay to Parent in cash the Excess Parent Cash Amount solely from the proceeds of, and only to the extent of the proceeds of, cash dividends and distributions paid to the Buyer by the Transferred Companies of the cash held by the Transferred Companies and/or the Subsidiaries as of the open of business on the Closing Date that is included in the calculation of the Excess Parent Cash Amount. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, directly or indirectly, hold the cash included in the Excess Parent Cash Amount for the benefit of Parent in segregated accounts and not subject to any security, collateral,

account control or similar obligations. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken such actions as Parent may reasonably request with respect to the investment and control of the cash included in the Excess Parent Cash Amount. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with, and take direction from, Parent and its Affiliates with respect to the dividend or distribution of the cash included in the Excess Parent Cash Amount to the Buyer so that such amounts may be paid by the Buyer to Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable given the limitations set forth herein, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the relevant Transferred Companies and Subsidiaries to complete the statutory audits required for any such dividend or distribution and to take any and all action as reasonably requested by Parent to dividend or distribute the Excess Parent Cash Amount. Parent shall indemnify the Buyer and its Affiliates for all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including reasonable fees for outside counsel, accountants and other outside consultants) suffered or incurred by them and arising from the ownership of the Excess Parent Cash Amount and from any all actions taken at the direction or request of Parent pursuant to this Section 6.11(b), except in the case of any of the Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.11(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Excess Parent Cash Amount shall be limited as follows: (A) the Buyer’s obligations shall be limited to the extent they are reasonably determined based on the advice of outside counsel to violate applicable Law, (B) the Buyer’s obligations shall be limited by any restrictions set forth in the articles of association, bylaws or other organizational documents or Contracts of any Transferred Company or Subsidiary in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing, (C) the amount of any payment to Parent in respect of the Excess Parent Cash Amount may be reduced by the Buyer for any Losses realized or that are reasonably likely to be realized by the Buyer or its Affiliates in order to make the payments to Parent as contemplated by this Section 6.11(b) (including incremental Tax liabilities that are payable by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection with such dividends or distributions, amounts payable to minority shareholders of the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries in connection with such dividends or distributions, legal fees and other expenses to call and hold shareholder meetings, and the costs of any statutory audits that would not otherwise be required), and (D) the Buyer’s obligations shall be subject to and limited in all respects by any restrictions, limitations or prohibitions on the Buyer or its Affiliates set forth in any agreement between any of them and a third party source of debt financing. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with any such debt financing sources appropriate exceptions in the financing documentation for such debt financing to minimize the extent to which clause (D) of the preceding sentence will limit the Buyer’s obligations hereunder. Following the Closing Date, in connection with any new debt financing or refinancing of debt by the Buyer or its Subsidiaries, the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to

negotiate with any such debt financing sources appropriate exceptions in the financing documentation for such debt financing to minimize the extent to which the foregoing clause (D) will limit the Buyer’s obligations hereunder.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Excess Parent Cash Amount” means an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount, if any, by which the amounts, if any, payable by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4 are reduced as a result of the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Limitation and the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Limitation and (B) the aggregate amount of cash (other than Restricted Cash) included in the Final Net Working Capital; provided, that to the extent that the amount of any cash held by a Transferred Company or Subsidiary (other than Restricted Cash) that is included in the Final Net Working Capital exceeds the distributable reserves (or equivalent items under local applicable Law) of such Transferred Company or Subsidiary as of the open of business on the Closing Date, the amount of such excess shall be excluded from and reduce the amount of the Excess Parent Cash Amount.

6.12 Intercompany Accounts. Except (i) to the extent included in the Additional Adjustment Amount and (ii) for obligations under the Transition Services Agreement, the Buyer Shared Facilities Agreement and the Parent Shared Facilities Agreement, Parent will cause all liabilities owing from any Transferred Company or Subsidiary to any of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates (except other Transferred Companies and Subsidiaries) as of the close of business on the day before the Closing Date to be discharged, terminated or cancelled (i.e., after the day before the Closing Date the Transferred Companies and Subsidiaries shall not have any obligation to repay such liabilities). The Sellers will cause all liabilities owing from any of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries) to any Transferred Company or Subsidiary as of the close of business on the day before the Closing Date to be discharged, terminated or cancelled (i.e., after the Closing none of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries) shall have any obligation to repay such liabilities).

6.13 Non-Solicitation of the Buyer’s Employees. For a period of two years following the Closing Date, the Sellers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for the purpose of offering employment or hire or offer to hire (whether as an employee or consultant) or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any officer, employee or agent of any of the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries or the Buyer identified by name in Section 6.13 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to discontinue his or her relationship with such Transferred Company, Subsidiary, the Buyer or any of their Affiliates; provided, however, that (a) if any such officer, employee or agent has been terminated by such Transferred Company, Subsidiary or the Buyer for any reason, then this Section 6.13 shall not apply following the expiration of a period of 135 days after such termination, and (b) this Section 6.13 shall not prohibit a general solicitation for employment not specifically targeted to employees of the Business.

6.14 Non-Compete. For a period of three years following the Closing Date, the Sellers shall not, and shall cause their subsidiaries not to, in any state in the United States or in another jurisdiction in which the Business operates on the Closing Date (a) directly or indirectly, either as a principal, partner, agent, manager, stockholder, director, officer or in any other capacity, provide Claims Services; provided, however, that ownership of less than 5% of the voting stock of any Person providing Claims Services shall not constitute a violation hereof or (b) acquire or enter an agreement to acquire or merge or consolidate with any Person or business, if such Person or business (i) shall have generated greater than 20% of its revenue from Claims Services during its then most recently completed fiscal year, (ii) shall have generated greater than $100 million of its revenue from Claim Services during its then most recently completed fiscal year or (iii) shall be listed on Annex 6.14 attached hereto or shall be a successor to or Subsidiary of a Person listed on Annex 6.14; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6.14 shall prohibit the acquisition, merger, consolidation or combination by any Seller with any Person or business that would otherwise be in violation of clause (b) above if, within 15 months of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or combination, such Seller shall have consummated the sale to a third party of such Person or business or substantially all of the assets of such Person or business that generated such Claims Services revenue; provided, further, that nothing contained in this Section 6.14 shall prohibit the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates from providing products or services that it or they provide on the Closing Date, or reasonably related products or services that it or they may provide following the Closing Date, in each case in the ordinary course of business through Parent’s Dealer Services, Employer Services or Brokerage Services Groups. Due to the irreparable injury and damage to the Buyer that could result from a violation of this Section 6.14, the Buyer shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the violation by the Sellers of this Section 6.14 in addition to any remedy otherwise available to the Buyer. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall hold that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.14 are unreasonable, such restrictions shall be deemed to be reduced, but only to the extent necessary, in the opinion of such court, to make them reasonable. ADP Canada and the Buyer or its assignee shall enter into a joint election to have proposed subsection 56.4(7) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) apply to the above provision.

6.15 Transition Services. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Buyer and Parent shall negotiate in good faith the scope and terms of any additional services that may need to be provided pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement and shall amend the form of Transition Services Agreement to reflect any such additional services to which they may agree.

6.16 Reorganization. Subject to Section 2.7, between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, take or cause to be taken all action and to do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective, immediately prior to the Closing, the Reorganization. The Sellers agree to consult with the Buyer on the timing, structure, procedural steps and all other matters relating to the Reorganization. As used in this Agreement, the “Reorganization” means the actions described in

Section 6.16 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. If and to the extent that any portion of the Reorganization (other than the Czech Reorganization, which is the subject of Section 2.7) has not occurred on or prior to the Closing, and the transfer of the applicable securities, assets or liabilities (the “Delayed Transfer Assets”) as contemplated by the Reorganization has not been consummated, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Buyer or its Affiliate shall thereafter, directly or indirectly, hold the Delayed Transfer Assets for the use and benefit of Parent. In addition, the Buyer shall take or cause to be taken such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Parent in order to place Parent in the same position as if such portion of the Reorganization had been consummated on or prior to the Closing, so that all the benefits and burdens relating to the Delayed Transfer Assets, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over the Delayed Transfer Assets, are to inure from and after the Closing to Parent. Following the Closing, Parent shall be entitled to, and shall be responsible for, the management of any Delayed Transfer Assets not transferred pursuant to the Reorganization and the parties hereto agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate with respect thereto. Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate such portion of the Reorganization as promptly as practicable thereafter, and the Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent and its Affiliates in consummating such portion of the Reorganization. Parent shall indemnify the Buyer and its Affiliates for all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including reasonable fees for outside counsel, accountants and other outside consultants) suffered or incurred by them and arising from (i) the ownership and operation of the Delayed Transfer Assets from and after the Closing, (ii) the performance of, or failure to perform, Parent’s obligations under this Section 6.16, except in the case of any of the Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or (iii) any liabilities or obligations of or related to ADP Wilco (Australia) Pty., Czech Audatex (other than the Czech Business Assets) or the two employees of Audatex Slovakia s.r.o. to be transferred to an Affiliate of Parent pursuant to the Reorganization.

6.17 Financing.

(a) The Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter, including using its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) negotiate definitive agreements with respect thereto on terms and conditions contained therein, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to the Buyer in such definitive agreements that are within its control and (iii) consummate the Debt Financing at the Closing. The Buyer shall obtain the Equity Financing upon satisfaction or waiver of (A) the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII and Article VIII and (B) the conditions to the funding of the Debt Financing (or any alternative financing) (in the case of clauses (A) and (B), other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions). In the event any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter, the Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange to

obtain any such portion from alternative sources on terms that are not materially less beneficial to the Buyer and the Transferred Companies as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event. The Buyer shall give the Sellers notice of any material breach by any party to the Commitment Letter or any termination of the Commitment Letter promptly upon becoming aware of any such breach or termination. The Buyer shall keep the Sellers informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing. The Buyer shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Equity Funding Letter without obtaining the Sellers’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Debt Financing (or any alternative financing) has not been obtained, the Buyer shall continue to be obligated to consummate the Transaction on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII and to the Buyer’s rights under Section 11.1, regardless of whether the Buyer has complied with all of its other obligations under this Agreement (including its obligations under this Section 6.17(a)).

(b) The Sellers agree to provide, and shall cause the Companies and Subsidiaries and the Sellers’, the Companies’ and Subsidiaries’ respective officers, employees, representatives, and advisors, including legal and accounting, of the Sellers, the Companies and Subsidiaries to provide, all reasonable cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer (provided, that such requested cooperation does not (i) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of any Seller, any Company and any Subsidiary, (ii) cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached, (iii) cause any condition to Closing set forth in Article VII to fail to be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement or any material agreement to which any Seller or any Company or Subsidiary is a party or (iv) involve any binding commitment by any Seller or any Company or Subsidiary which commitment is not conditioned on the Closing and does not terminate without liability to the Sellers, any Company and any Subsidiary upon the termination of this Agreement), including (A) participation in meetings, presentations, road shows, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions and sessions with rating agencies, (B) upon request, furnishing the Buyer and its financing sources with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Transferred Companies and Foreign Assets as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer, (C) assisting the Buyer and its financing sources in the preparation of offering documents, materials for rating agency presentations, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with the financing, (D) executing and delivering at Closing any pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents, or other certificates, legal opinions or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer (including using commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate any amendments to the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of any Transferred Company or Subsidiary reasonably requested by the Buyer in connection with such security or other financing documents), (E) furnishing the Buyer and its financing sources with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Companies and the Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer, including all financial statements and financial data

of the type required by Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and of type and form customarily included in private placements under Rule 144A of the Securities Act, to consummate the offerings of debt securities contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters at the time during the Company’s fiscal year such offerings will be made, (F) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain management representation letters, accountants’ comfort and reliance letters and opinions, legal opinions, surveys and title insurance as reasonably requested by the Buyer, and (G) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of the Buyer and its financing sources for any debt raised by the Buyer to complete the Transaction; provided, that none of the Sellers, any Company or any Subsidiary shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the Debt Financing, except, in the case of the Transferred Companies and Subsidiaries, following the Closing. The Buyer shall, promptly upon request by the Sellers, reimburse the Sellers, as the case may be, for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by any Seller, any Company or any Subsidiary in connection with such cooperation. The Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Sellers, Transferred Companies and Subsidiaries and their respective representatives for and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including reasonable fees for outside counsel, accountants and other outside consultants) suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than historical information relating to the Sellers, any Company or any Subsidiary), except in the case of any Seller’s, any Transferred Company’s or Subsidiary’s or any of their respective representatives’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the condition set forth in Section 7.1, as it applies to the Sellers’ obligations under this Section 6.17(b), shall be deemed satisfied unless (i) the Debt Financing (or any alternative financing) has not been obtained primarily as a result of the Sellers’ material breach of their obligations under this Section 6.17(b) and (ii) such material breach has had a material and adverse effect on the Buyer’s ability to obtain the Debt Financing (or any alternative financing).

(c) All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding any Seller, any Company, any Subsidiary, the Foreign Assets or the Business obtained by the Buyer or its representatives pursuant to Section 6.17(b) shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Non-Disclosure Agreement.

6.18 Insurance. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any carriers who have underwritten insurance policies of Parent which provide insurance coverage to the Business to continue to make coverage available to the Business following the Closing Date for claims arising out of occurrences prior to the Closing Date. Parent acknowledges the right of the Buyer for access to the benefit of such insurance for such pre-Closing occurrences. Following the Closing Date, Parent and the Buyer shall cooperate with and assist the other in issuing notices of claims under such insurance policies, presenting such claims for payment and collecting insurance proceeds related thereto.

6.19 ABZ Share Purchase Agreement Obligations. Following the Closing, for the benefit of the Shareholder Clients (as defined in the ABZ Share Purchase

Agreement), the Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, ensure that the Group (as defined in the ABZ Share Purchase Agreement) shall perform its obligations under Clauses 15.1 and 15.2 of the ABZ Share Purchase Agreement, a true and correct copy of which has previously been made available to the Buyer. Parent represents and warrants that Clauses 15.1 and 15.2 of the ABZ Share Purchase Agreement set forth the services, products and service levels required to be provided to the Shareholder Clients pursuant to the ABZ Share Purchase Agreement. The Buyer shall indemnify the Sellers and their respective Affiliates for all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including reasonable fees for outside counsel, accountants and other outside consultants) suffered or incurred by them and arising from the Group’s performance of, or failure to perform, its obligations under Clauses 15.1 and 15.2 of the ABZ Share Purchase Agreement on or after the Closing Date.

6.20 Notification of Certain Matters. The Sellers shall give prompt notice to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall give prompt notice to the Sellers, upon obtaining knowledge thereof, of (a) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event that such party believes would be likely to cause any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at any time from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, the effect of which would cause either of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 7.1 or 8.1 not to be satisfied and (b) any material failure by it to comply with or satisfy any covenant, or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any defense that may be validly asserted.

6.21 Exclusivity. Until this Agreement is terminated by its terms, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, and none of Parent or any of its Affiliates shall cause or permit any officer, director, representative, or agent or any other Person acting on behalf of Parent or any of its Affiliates to, (a) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person (including any of them) relating to any (i) liquidation, winding-up, dissolution or recapitalization of, (ii) merger or consolidation with or into, (iii) acquisition or purchase of assets of or any equity interest in or (iv) similar transaction or business combination involving, in the case of clauses (i)-(iv), the Business, the Companies or the Subsidiaries or (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish any information with respect to, assist or participate in, or facilitate in any other manner any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, discontinue immediately any negotiations or discussion with respect to any of the foregoing. Until this Agreement is terminated by its terms, Parent shall notify the Buyer immediately if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry or contact with respect to any of the foregoing and shall provide the Buyer with the terms thereof.

6.22 Director Resignations. Prior to the Closing, except as otherwise specified in writing by the Buyer to Parent prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall (a) deliver to the Buyer evidence of the resignation, effective as of the Closing, of all of the directors of the Transferred Companies and Subsidiaries included in the ACS Entities that Parent or its Affiliates have the right to remove (without loss or liability), appoint or

designate, and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Buyer evidence of the resignation, effective as of the Closing, of all of the directors of the Transferred Companies and Subsidiaries included in the ABZ Entities and the Audatex Entities that Parent or its Affiliates have the right to remove (without loss or liability), appoint or designate.

Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate a meeting with each of the two entities that are currently shareholders of Informex S.A. identified in Section 6.23 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to discuss the draft letter agreement referred to in Section 6.23 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “2006 Informex Letter”), and Parent shall assist the Buyer in obtaining agreement on such 2006 Informex Letter by such shareholders; provided, that the condition set forth in Section 7.1, as it applies to Parent’s obligations under this Section 6.23, shall be deemed satisfied notwithstanding the failure of Parent to cause such meeting(s) to occur or to obtain agreement of such shareholders to the 2006 Informex Letter on or prior to the Closing Date.

6.24 ChoiceParts. On or after the Closing, to the extent owned, held or licensed by Parent or its Affiliate, Parent shall, or shall cause such Affiliate to, in each case to the extent reasonably possible and subject to any limitations in Parent’s or its Affiliate’s rights, grant to the Buyer (i) co-ownership in the patents, copyrights and trade secrets in the ChoiceParts, LLC Advanced Parts Locator that, in each case, relate to the Business, if any (the “Advanced Parts Locator IP”), for use in connection with the Business or (ii) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use the Advanced Parts Locator IP in connection with the Business.

(ii) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Sellers in Section 3.1, 3.2(a), 3.2(b)(i), 3.3, 4.4(a), 4.11(a), 4.11(b)(i) or 4.16 of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by a Seller to the Buyer with respect thereto in connection with the Closing (it being understood that, for purposes of this Article IX, such representations and warranties will be interpreted without giving effect to any qualifications or limitations as to “materiality” or “Business Material Adverse Effect”);

(iii) any breach by any of the Sellers of any of their covenants under this Agreement, any Foreign Share Transfer Agreement or any Asset Transfer Agreement;

(i) in connection with any claim unless and until the aggregate liability that all such Persons would, but for this Section 9.1(b)(i), have in connection with such claim for any breach, exceeds an amount equal to $75,000; provided, however, that related items or items having a common root cause or origin shall be aggregated for purposes of this clause (i) and that individual items not meeting the threshold set forth in this clause (i) shall nevertheless be taken into account for purposes of clause (ii) below;

provided, however, that Sections 9.1(b)(i), (ii) and (iii) shall not limit the liability of the Sellers under Section 9.1(a)(i) with respect to Tax Losses attributable to Income Taxes arising in a Pre-Closing Taxable Period.

9.3 Procedures for Indemnification. Except as otherwise provided in Article X, which shall be the exclusive provision governing Contests and Tax Claims:

(a) If any suit, action, proceeding, investigation, claim or demand shall be brought or asserted by any third Person (including any Governmental Body) (a “Third Party Claim”) against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing in reasonable detail of the Third Party Claim within 30 days after receipt by such Indemnified Person of formal notice of such Third Party Claim, and, thereafter, such Indemnified Person shall promptly forward to the Indemnifying Person a copy of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Person pursuant to the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to give such notification within 30 days after such receipt of formal notice and the failure to forward a copy of such notices and documents shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Person or the rights of the Indemnified Person

except to the extent the Indemnifying Person has actually been prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) Upon the receipt by the Indemnifying Person of notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person may electto assume the defense of such Third Party Claim by promptly delivering a notice to the Indemnified Person of the assumption of such defense and to retain defense counsel to represent the Indemnified Person; provided, that if (i) the Third Party Claim primarily seeks injunctive relief that would materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party or (ii) the Loss involves a claim of criminal conduct against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party may not assume the defense of any such claim. If the Indemnifying Person so elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, then (i) the Indemnified Person may participate in such defense and employ counsel, at such Indemnified Person’s expense, separate from the reasonably acceptable counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person, but so long as it diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Person shall control such defense, shall be empowered to make any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim in the manner set forth in Section 9.3(c) and shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for the fees and expenses of the separate counsel retained by such Indemnified Person, and (ii) the Indemnified Person and any other Indemnified Persons will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Person in such defense, including by providing, upon the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Person, books, records and all other reasonably necessary items and by making available employees on a mutually convenient basis.

(c) No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which shall not unreasonably be withheld, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Third Party Claim in respect of which such Indemnified Person is a party, or is subject, and in respect of which indemnity is sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, if such settlement provides for any relief other than the payment of money damages for which such Indemnified Person is indemnified in full.

(d) The Indemnifying Person shall, at any time, be entitled to elect to no longer defend a Third Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Person shall reasonably assist in transitioning the defense of such Third Party Claim back to the Indemnified Person and that the Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to make a claim for reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with its assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(e) In the event any Indemnified Person should have a claim against the Indemnifying Person under this Article IX that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against such Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall deliver written notice of such claim, specifying with particularity and detail the nature of such claim. If the Indemnifying Person objects to such claim in a timely manner, the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall proceed in good faith to resolve such dispute and, upon the failure to resolve such dispute, the parties may pursue remedies in accordance with Section 12.1.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no party to this Agreement shall be obligated to make indemnification payments under Section 9.1(a)(i), 9.1(a)(ii), 9.1(a)(iii), 9.1(a)(iv), 9.1(a)(v) or 9.2(a)(i) unless the Indemnified Person shall have delivered to the Indemnifying Person written notification pursuant to Sections 9.1 and 9.2, on or before:

(i) October 1, 2007, with respect to any such indemnification claim under (A) Section 9.1(a)(i), 9.1(a)(ii) or 9.2(a)(i), as the case may be, that arises from a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, except for those set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2(a), 3.3 and 4.4(a), and (B) Section 9.1(a)(iii) or 9.2(a)(ii), as the case may be, that arises from a breach of any covenants or other agreements of the Sellers or the Buyer that were to be performed prior to the Closing Date;

(ii) the date of expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any such indemnification claim under Section 9.1(a)(iv) for Income Taxes relating to periods prior to the Closing;

(iii) at any time with respect to any such indemnification claim under Section 9.1(a)(ii) that arises from a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.1, 3.2(a), 3.3 or 4.4(a); and

(iv) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to any such indemnification claim under Section 9.1(a)(v) that arises from any of the Excluded Matters.

9.4 Sole Remedy; No Duplication; Other Provisions.

(a) Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b) From and after the Closing, except as provided in Article X, the exclusive remedy of each party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be those provided in this Article IX, except that this exclusive remedy for damages shall not preclude a Person from bringing an action for fraud claims or injunctive relief as provided in Section 6.14. The Buyer shall, and shall cause the Transferred Companies and Subsidiaries to, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses with respect to which indemnification may be requested hereunder.

(c) The amount of the Indemnifying Person’s liability under this Agreement shall be determined (i) net of any specific reserves, liability accruals or other provisions for such Losses on the face of the combined balance sheet of the Business as of the Closing Date or amounts that otherwise constitute the Restructuring

Amount, the Pension Amount, the Additional Adjustment Amount or the ABZ Retention Amount, provided that such limitation shall not apply in the case of any liability for which a Seller has agreed to be liable or to retain or assume pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) after taking into account any applicable insurance proceeds (net of reasonably expected costs of recovery, retroactive or prospective premium adjustments, and chargebacks related to such insurance claim) received or reasonably expected to be received by the Indemnified Party. Any and all payments or offsets pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes to be adjustments to the Purchase Price. None of the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover any Losses relating to any matter arising under one provision of this Agreement to the extent that such Buyer Indemnified Party has already recovered the full amount of such Buyer Indemnified Party’s Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, the operation of the adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4 is an exclusive remedy (except in the case of fraud) (i) in respect of the assets, liabilities, Indebtedness and obligations and related items, in each case, to the extent included in the final determination of the Final Net Working Capital or otherwise in the Restructuring Amount, the Pension Amount, the Additional Adjustment Amount or the ABZ Retention Amount, and (ii) in respect of any matter forming the basis for a reduction in the Net Working Capital requested by the Buyer (whether or not included in the final determination of the Final Net Working Capital) in its calculation of the Final Net Working Capital, and no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any additional recourse in respect thereof, whether arising from a breach of a representation or warranty or otherwise.

(e) None of the Seller Indemnified Parties shall have any claims or rights to contribution or indemnity from any of the Transferred Companies or the Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, partners or managers with respect to any amounts paid by them pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) To the extent that an Indemnified Person recognizes a Tax benefit with respect to a Loss that is the subject of an indemnification payment pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to such Tax benefit and the Indemnified Person shall pay to the Indemnifying Person the amount of such Tax benefit (but not in excess of the indemnification payment or payments actually received from the Indemnifying Person with respect to such Loss) at such time or times as and to the extent that the Indemnified Person or any Affiliate thereof actually realizes such benefit through a refund of Tax or reduction in the actual amount of Taxes which such Indemnified Person or Affiliate would otherwise have had to pay if such Loss had not been incurred, calculated by computing the amount of Taxes before and after inclusion of any Tax items attributable to such Loss for which indemnification was made and treating such Tax items as the last items claimed for any taxable year; provided, that any such Tax benefit shall be reduced by the amount of Tax detriment (including the tax effect of any item of income or gain or other item (including any decrease in Tax basis) which increases any amounts paid or payable with respect to Taxes, any reduction in the amount of any refund of Tax which would otherwise have been available, the utilization of any net operating

loss or capital loss or the utilization of any Tax credits or other Tax attributes) that the Indemnified Party suffered as a result of any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article IX. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer will provide to Parent such information as Parent may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify whether the Buyer has or has not recognized Tax benefits described in this Section 9.4(f).

ARTICLE X

TAX MATTERS

10.1 Preparation of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, Parent shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and, timely file all Tax Returns (“Pre Closing Tax Returns”) of each of the Companies and Subsidiaries with respect to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre Closing Taxable Period”) and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall pay (or cause to be paid) any Taxes due in respect of such Pre Closing Tax Returns. The Buyer shall not have the right to review any Pre-Closing Tax Returns. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods unless a different treatment is permitted or required by applicable Law. In the case of Pre Closing Tax Returns that are filed after the Closing Date, other than consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Returns that include one or more of the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries together with Parent or an Affiliate of Parent other than the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries, Parent shall (A) provide the Buyer with such prepared Tax Returns in sufficient time for the Buyer to timely file, or cause to be timely filed, such Tax Returns (and the Buyer shall timely file, or cause to be timely filed, such Tax Returns), but in any event at least two Business Days prior to the due date for such Tax Return, and (B) provide to the Buyer at such time an amount equal to the excess of (x) the Tax liability shown on such Tax Return over (y) the sum of (1) all estimated or similar Tax payments made or caused to be made by Parent on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to such Tax and, without duplication, all credits arising on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to such Tax, (2) any prior payments with respect to such Tax made or caused to be made by Parent pursuant to this Article X, (3) any amounts collected or withheld and held by or on behalf of Parent, the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date pending remittance to Tax authorities in respect of such Tax and (4) any portion of such Tax liability arising as a result of any actions taken by the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries on or after the Closing Date that are outside the ordinary course of business unless explicitly provided for in this Agreement. The Buyer shall cause the Transferred Companies and Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates to take such actions as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the filing of refund claims and amended Tax Returns with respect to Pre-Closing Taxable Periods; provided, that in the case of refund claims and amended Income Tax Returns relating to any of the Foreign Companies, such claims and amended Income Tax Returns do not cause a material detriment to the Buyer or any of the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries for taxable periods or partial taxable periods after the Closing Date.

(b) The Buyer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns not otherwise the responsibility of Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(a) and shall remit any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. With respect to any Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to any of the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries for Straddle Periods (collectively, the “Straddle Tax Returns”), such Straddle Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law), and Parent shall be responsible for the Taxes of the Transferred Companies and Subsidiaries attributable to Pre Closing Taxable Periods (as determined in accordance with Section 10.2), excluding, however, Taxes arising from the transactions entered into on the Closing Date but after the Closing, other than transactions in the ordinary course of business or specifically contemplated by this Agreement (“Pre Closing Taxes”) due in respect of such Straddle Tax Returns. The Buyer shall notify Parent of any amounts due from Parent in respect of any Straddle Tax Return no later than 30 Business Days prior to the date on which such Straddle Tax Return is due, and Parent shall remit such payment to the Buyer no later than five Business Days prior to the date such Straddle Tax Return is due. The Buyer shall deliver any Straddle Tax Return to Parent for its review at least 30 Business Days prior to the date on which such Straddle Tax Return is required to be filed. If Parent disputes any item on such Straddle Tax Return, it shall notify the Buyer of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection within 15 Business Days after Parent’s receipt of such Straddle Tax Return. The parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which the relevant Straddle Tax Return is required to be filed. If the parties cannot resolve any disputed item within 10 Business Days after the Buyer receives notice of such dispute, the item in question shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Parent and the Buyer. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Parent and the Buyer. In the case of Straddle Tax Returns, Parent shall provide to the Buyer at such time an amount equal to the excess of (A) the Tax liability shown on such Straddle Tax Return and attributable to Pre-Closing Taxable Periods over (B) the sum of (w) all estimated or similar Tax payments made or caused to be made by Parent on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to such Tax and, without duplication, all credits arising on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to such Tax, (x) any prior payments with respect to such Tax made or caused to be made by Parent pursuant to this Article X, (y) any amounts collected or withheld and held by or on behalf of Parent, the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date pending remittance to Tax authorities in respect of such Tax and (z) any portion of such Tax liability arising as a result of any actions taken by the Companies or Subsidiaries on or after the Closing Date that are outside the ordinary course of business unless explicitly provided for in this Agreement.

(c) Tax Returns relating to the Foreign Companies for periods ending on or before the Closing Date shall be prepared by the Foreign Companies. If such Tax Returns are filed prior to the Closing Date, they shall be governed by Section 10.1(a). If they are filed after the Closing Date, they shall be governed by the procedures in Section 10.1(b) relating to Pre-Closing Taxes arising in Straddle Periods

(d) With respect to any taxable year of any of the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries for which Parent is required to file a Pre-Closing Tax Return

pursuant to Section 10.1(a), the Buyer shall promptly cause such Transferred Company or Subsidiary to prepare and provide to Parent, at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, a package of tax information materials (the “Tax Package”), which shall be completed in accordance with the past practice of such Transferred Company or Subsidiary, including past practice as to providing the information, schedules and work papers and as to the method of computation of separate taxable income or other relevant measure of income. The Buyer shall cause the Tax Package for the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date to be delivered to Parent within 120 days after the Closing Date.

(e) Except as required by law, neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall (or shall cause or permit any of the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries to) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to any of the Companies or Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre Closing Taxable Period (or with respect to any Straddle Period) without the written consent of Parent, which consent may be withheld in the reasonable discretion of Parent.

(f) The Buyer and Parent shall preserve and cause to be preserved all information, returns, books, records and documents relating to any liabilities for Taxes with respect to a taxable period until the later of the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation and extensions thereof, or the conclusion of all litigation with respect to Taxes for such period.

10.2 Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of any of the Companies or Subsidiaries that are payable with respect to any Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that constitutes Pre Closing Taxes shall be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item (including the effect of any graduated rates of tax) that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to the Straddle Period times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with past practice of the relevant Companies and Subsidiaries. The parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect with the relevant taxing authority to treat a portion of any Straddle Period as a short taxable period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

10.3 Refunds.

(a) Except as provided in Section 10.3(b), each Company and Subsidiary will be entitled to any refunds (including any interest received thereon) in respect of any federal, state, provincial, local or foreign Tax liability of such Company or Subsidiary.

(b) Parent shall be entitled to any refunds received for federal, state, provincial, local, foreign or other Taxes paid for Pre Closing Taxable Periods with respect to any of the Companies or Subsidiaries, along with any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect thereto but net of any tax or other cost to any of the Companies or Transferred Subsidiaries of receiving the refund, in each case other than refunds resulting from the carryback of net operating losses or other tax attributes from tax periods or portions thereof that are not Pre Closing Taxable Periods, and any such refunds (including interest but net of any tax or other cost as described earlier in this sentence), to which Parent is entitled that are received by any of the Companies or Transferred Subsidiaries or any Affiliate thereof after the Closing Date, whether by offset, credit, receipt of payment or otherwise, shall be caused by the Buyer to be paid promptly to Parent.

10.4 Conveyance Taxes. The Buyer and Parent agree to share equally all sales, goods and services, harmonized sales, consumption, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, excise, real property transfer or gains, or similar Taxes incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement (collectively, “Conveyance Taxes”), and Parent and the Buyer agree to jointly file all required change of ownership and similar statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Conveyance Taxes shall not include any goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax payable under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) or Quebec sales tax payable under an Act respecting the Quebec sales tax, for which the Buyer or its permitted assignee is entitled to claim either input tax credits or input tax refunds. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Buyer shall pay to Parent at the Closing one-half of any Conveyance Taxes required to be collected by any Foreign Share Seller or Foreign Asset Seller and remitted by such Foreign Share Seller or Foreign Asset Seller to any applicable taxing authority, in accordance with Section 2.3(a), and (ii) the Buyer’s payment to Parent at the Closing shall be reduced by one-half of any Conveyance Taxes required to be paid after the Closing to any applicable taxing authority by the Buyer or any of the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries. Parent and the Buyer shall cooperate with each other to minimize applicable Conveyance Taxes in a manner that is mutually agreeable and in compliance with applicable Law, and shall to that extent execute such documents, agreements, applications, instruments or other forms as reasonably required, and as shall permit any such Conveyance Taxes to be assessed and paid in accordance with applicable Law.

10.5 Section 338(h)(10) Election Taxes. Parent shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, any Taxes attributable to the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election as provided in Section 2.6.

10.6 Termination of Tax Allocation Agreements. Any and all Tax allocation or sharing agreements or other agreements or arrangements relating to Tax matters between any of the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its other Affiliates, on the other hand, shall be terminated as to such Transferred Company or Subsidiary as of the Closing Date and, from and after the Closing Date, none of the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries shall be obligated to

make any payment pursuant to any such agreement or arrangement for any past or future period.

10.7 Tax Indemnification Procedures.

(a) After the Closing, each party to this Agreement (whether the Buyer or any Seller, as the case may be) shall promptly notify the other parties in writing of any demand, claim or notice of the commencement of an audit received by such party from any taxing authority or any other Person with respect to Taxes for which such other parties may be liable pursuant to Article IX; provided, however, that a failure to give such notice will not affect such party’s rights to indemnification under Article IX, except to the extent that such other parties are actually prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing the asserted Tax liability and shall include copies of the relevant portion of any notice or other document received from any taxing authority or any other Person in respect of any such asserted Tax liability.

(b) Payment by an indemnitor of any amount due to an indemnitee in respect of Tax Losses under Article IX shall be made within ten days following written notice by the indemnitee that payment of such amounts to the appropriate taxing authority or other applicable third party is due by the indemnitee, provided that the indemnitor shall not be required to make any payment earlier than five Business Days before it is due to the appropriate taxing authority or applicable third party. In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.8, payment of such contested Tax will not be considered due earlier than the date a “final determination” to such effect is made by such taxing authority or a court of competent jurisdiction. For this purpose, a “final determination” shall mean a settlement, compromise, or other agreement with the relevant taxing authority, whether contained in an IRS Form 870 or other comparable form, or otherwise, or such procedurally later event, such as a closing agreement with the relevant taxing authority, and agreement contained in an IRS Form 870 D or other comparable form, an agreement that constitutes a “determination” under Section 1313(a)(4) of the Code, a deficiency notice with respect to which the period for filing a petition with the Tax Court or the relevant state, local or foreign tribunal has expired or a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to appeal or as to which the time for appeal has expired. In the event the indemnitee receives a refund of the tax after payment, the indemnitee shall promptly pay such refund to the indemnitor (including interest but net of tax or other cost to the indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof of receiving such interest).

(c) All amounts required to be paid in respect of Tax Losses pursuant to Article IX shall be paid promptly in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the indemnified party.

(d) Any payments required in respect of Tax Losses pursuant to Article IX that are not made within the time period specified in this Article X shall bear interest at a rate and in the manner provided in the Code for interest on underpayments of federal income tax.

10.8 Tax Audits and Contests; Cooperation.

(a) Subject to Section 10.8(b), Parent shall control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense, of any audit, claim for refund, or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability or refund with respect to any of the Companies or Subsidiaries (any such audit, claim for refund, or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax liability referred to herein as a “Contest”) relating to Pre Closing Taxable Periods, and the Buyer shall not have any right to participate in such Contest; provided, however, that no settlement or other disposition of any claim for Tax which would materially adversely affect the Buyer or any of the Transferred Companies or Subsidiaries or any Affiliate thereof shall be agreed to without the Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

The parties shall mutually agree on any settlement or other disposition of the Contest; provided, that Parent or the Buyer shall have the sole right to settle or dispose of any issue that relates solely to the portion of the Straddle period ending on the Closing Date or the portion of the Straddle Period ending after the Closing Date, respectively. In the event the Buyer and Parent are unable to agree regarding any aspect of the conduct of any such Contest, the decision shall be made by the counsel employed to pursue such Contest on the basis of counsel’s good faith judgment regarding the course of action that would produce the overall lowest present value of Tax and litigation cost to the parties. Any such Contest expenses shall be shall be borne by the Buyer and Parent in the same proportion as such related Taxes are borne by the Buyer and Parent in accordance with Section 10.1(b).

Parent and the Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Contest or other proceeding involving or otherwise relating to any of the Companies or Subsidiaries (or their income or assets) with respect to any Tax and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 10.8(d). Any information obtained under this Section 10.8(d) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of a Contest or other Tax proceeding.

(e) The Buyer shall cause each of the Transferred Companies to (a) use its commercially reasonable efforts to properly retain and maintain the tax and accounting records of such Transferred Company and its Subsidiaries that relate to Pre Closing Taxable Periods for ten years following the Closing Date and shall thereafter provide Parent with written notice prior to any destruction, abandonment or disposition of all or any portions of such records, (b) transfer such records to Parent upon its written request prior to any such destruction, abandonment or disposition and (c) allow Parent and its Affiliates and their respective agents and representatives, at times and dates reasonably and mutually acceptable to the parties, to from time to time inspect and review such records as Parent may deem necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that in all cases, such activities are to be conducted by Parent during normal business hours and at Parent’s sole expense. Any information obtained under this Section 10.8(e) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of a Contest or other Tax proceeding.

(f) Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to (a) use its commercially reasonable efforts to properly retain and maintain the tax and accounting records of such Transferred Company and its Subsidiaries for ten years following the Closing Date and shall thereafter provide the Buyer with written notice prior to any destruction, abandonment or disposition of all or any portions of such records, (b) transfer such records to the Buyer upon its written request prior to any such destruction, abandonment or disposition and (c) allow the Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective agents and representatives, at times and dates reasonably and mutually acceptable to the parties, to from time to time inspect and review such records as the Buyer may deem necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that in all cases, such activities are to be conducted by the Buyer during normal business hours and at Buyer’s sole expense. Any information obtained under this Section 10.8(f) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of a Contest or other Tax proceeding.

10.9 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. It is the intention of the parties to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all federal, state, provincial, local and foreign Tax purposes, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly

10.10 Carrybacks. Following the Closing Date, the Buyer and each Transferred Company shall, to the extent permissible, waive the right to carryback any Income Tax losses, credits or similar items attributable to such Transferred Company and from a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date to a Pre Closing Taxable Period.

10.11 Tax Elections. The Buyer shall not, without the prior consent of Parent (which may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold such consent), make, or cause to permit to be made, any Tax election, or adopt or change any method of accounting, or undertake any other extraordinary action effective on or after the Closing Date, that would adversely affect any Seller or any of the Companies or Subsidiaries with respect to any taxable period or portions thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and the Buyer shall not make, and shall cause their Affiliates not to make, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2) or any similar provision of state or local Tax law.

10.12 No Access to Consolidated Returns. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to any information relating to, or a copy of, any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return which includes any Seller.

10.13 Advance Pricing Agreement.

(a) The Buyer understands and agrees that Parent and certain of its Affiliates are engaged in ongoing negotiations with U.S. and Canadian taxing authorities with respect to a bilateral advance pricing agreement (the “APA”) relating to intercompany transactions, including the use of software and other technology, provision of processing services, and general and administrative services, by and between (i) Parent, CSG and certain of their U.S. Affiliates (the “U.S. APA Parties”) and (ii) ADP Canada Co. and certain of its Canadian Affiliates (the “Canadian APA Parties”). Parent represents, and the Buyer acknowledges, that estimated royalty payments have been and will continue to be made by the Canadian APA Parties to the U.S. APA Parties until such time as the APA is resolved by the appropriate U.S. and Canadian taxing authorities. The parties hereto acknowledge that such resolution is expected to occur subsequent to the Closing Date. The Buyer covenants that, if necessary to resolve the APA, it will execute the APA or cause the APA to be executed by or on behalf of any Transferred Companies that are U.S. APA Parties.

(b) If at the time of the final resolution of the APA, and assuming such resolution occurs subsequent to the Closing Date, it is determined by the relevant taxing authorities that the payments (including estimated payments) previously made by the Canadian APA Parties to the U.S. APA Parties with respect to periods or portions thereof ending on or prior to the Closing are less than the amounts owed by the Canadian APA Parties to the U.S. APA Parties for such periods, and such taxing authorities require that additional payments be made, the Canadian APA Parties shall remit such payments to Parent or its Affiliates (other than any Transferred Company), and neither the Buyer nor its Affiliates shall have any right to receive any such payments.

(c) If at the time of the final resolution of the APA, and assuming such resolution occurs subsequent to the Closing Date, it is determined by the relevant taxing authorities that the payments (including estimated payments) previously made by the Canadian APA Parties to the U.S. APA Parties with respect to periods or portions thereof ending on or prior to the Closing are in excess of the amounts owed by the Canadian APA Parties to the U.S. APA Parties for such periods, and such taxing authorities require that payment be made in respect of any such excess, Parent will make or cause to be made such payments to the Canadian APA Parties and shall indemnify the Buyer for any liability associated with making such payments.

(d) Parent shall be entitled to any refunds from U.S. and Canadian taxing authorities, as the case may be, attributable to the final resolution of the APA, including any payment made pursuant to this Section 10.13, with respect to periods or portions thereof ending on or prior to the Closing. If the Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives any such refund, it shall promptly remit such amount to Parent.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including Section 10.8), at no time shall the Buyer, and at no time subsequent to the Closing shall any Transferred Company, have any right to participate in any Contest or other proceeding relating to the negotiation of the APA. The Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Parent in the conduct of any proceeding relating to the APA, and to provide such information (including access to books and records) as is reasonably requested by Parent for the conduct of such proceedings.

(f) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Buyer and its Affiliates not to be legally bound by the terms of the APA for any Post-Closing Taxable Period. If Parent is unable to achieve such result, Parent shall be entitled to enter into the final APA without the consent of the Buyer and the Buyer will comply with its obligations under this Section 10.13; provided, that Parent shall indemnify the Buyer for any net increase in the aggregate U.S. and Canadian Tax liability of the Buyer and its Affiliates as a direct result of the terms and methodology of the final APA being materially different, in the aggregate, from those reflected in the document entitled “Transfer Pricing Analysis CS” provided to the Buyer in connection with this transaction.
