NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and undertakings contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

Article I

Section 1.01 Purchase and Sale of the Shares and the Local Transferred Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, (a) (i) Seller shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall accept the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and delivery by Seller of, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Shares, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions on transfer under applicable state or federal securities Laws), and (ii) Seller shall, and shall cause all of the Selling Entities to, sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Purchaser or its designated subsidiaries, and Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designated subsidiaries to, accept the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and delivery by each Selling Entity of, free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens), all of each such Selling Entity’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Local Transferred Assets, and (b) in exchange therefor, (i) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designated subsidiaries to, assume the Local Assumed Liabilities, and (ii) Purchaser shall pay to Seller, and Seller shall accept the payment from Purchaser of, the Purchase Price, payable as set forth in Section 1.02(c)(i) and subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.04.

Section 1.02 Closing.

(a) The closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signatures, on the third (3rd) Business Day following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waived) (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied by delivery of documents or are otherwise to be satisfied at the Closing and that would be so satisfied, but subject to the

satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver) of such conditions at the Closing) (the date on which such conditions are satisfied or waived, the “Closing Condition Satisfaction Date”), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed between Purchaser and Seller; provided that, Purchaser may elect, by written notice to Seller within one (1) Business Day after the Closing Condition Satisfaction Date, to have the Closing occur instead on the first (1st) Business Day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month in which the Closing Condition Satisfaction Date occurs; provided, further, that if Purchaser delivers the notice referred to in the foregoing proviso, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Seller thereafter delivers a certificate to Purchaser dated on or after the Closing Condition Satisfaction Date and signed by an authorized officer of Seller confirming the provisions of Section 8.01(a)(i) and Section 8.01(b)(i) (in each case, replacing references therein to the “Closing” with the “Closing Condition Satisfaction Date”), the conditions set forth in Section 8.01(a)(i) and Section 8.01(b)(i) shall be deemed to have been irrevocably satisfied as of the date of delivery thereof, and the Closing shall not be subject to further satisfaction or waiver of such conditions on or prior to the Closing Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the certificates referred to in Section 8.01(a)(iii) and Section 8.01(b)(iii) shall be deemed to not require confirmation of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01(a)(i) and Section 8.01(b)(i), as applicable). The date on which the Closing takes place is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”. The Closing shall be deemed to be effective as of 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date.

(b) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser:

(i) an IRS Form W-9 executed by Xxxxxx;

(ii) the certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(iii);

(iii) the certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(iii); and

(iv) counterparts of the Other Transaction Documents to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party, duly executed by Seller or such Affiliate, as applicable.

(i) by wire transfer to a bank account designated in writing by Seller no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Closing Date Purchase Price;

(ii) the certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(iii); and

(iii) counterparts of the Other Transaction Documents to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is a party, duly executed by Purchaser or such Affiliate, as applicable.

Section 1.03 Estimated Statement. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written statement setting forth its good faith estimate of each of the following, in each case, determined and calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the applicable definitions set forth herein: (i) Cash as of the Measurement Time (but giving effect to any subsequent cash dividends or distributions to Seller or its Subsidiaries (other than the Company Group), in each case after the Measurement Time but prior to the Closing), (ii) Funded Debt as of the Measurement Time (but giving effect to any subsequent incurrence of Funded Debt after the Measurement Time but prior to the Closing), (iii) Working Capital as of the Measurement Time and (iv) Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses incurred but not paid at or prior to the Closing, together with a calculation of the Closing Date Purchase Price (the “Estimated Statement”).

Section 1.04 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and, in any event, no later than sixty (60) days thereafter, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller (i) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as at the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a statement (together with the Closing Balance Sheet, the “Statement”) setting forth, in each case, a good faith calculation of (A) Cash as of the Measurement Time (but giving effect to any subsequent cash dividends

or distributions to Seller or its Subsidiaries (other than the Company Group), in each case after the Measurement Time but prior to the Closing), (B) Funded Debt as of the Measurement Time (but giving effect to any subsequent incurrence of Funded Debt after the Measurement Time but prior to the Closing), (C) Working Capital as of the Measurement Time, and (D) Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses incurred but not paid at or prior to the Closing, together with a calculation of the Purchase Price based on such amounts and reasonable supporting detail, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), based on the books and records of the Company and determined and calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles, the applicable definitions set forth herein and, except as otherwise provided herein, without taking into account any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments or changes arising from change of control or ownership (except with respect to Funded Debt and Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses). Nothing in this Section 1.04 is intended to be used to adjust for errors or omissions that may be found with respect to the Financial Statements or any inconsistencies between the Accounting Principles, on the one hand, and GAAP, on the other hand. If Purchaser fails to timely deliver or cause to be delivered a Statement in accordance with this Section 1.04(a), then the Estimated Statement shall be deemed to be the Statement, and Seller may deliver a Notice of Disagreement with respect thereto in accordance with Section 1.04(b).

(b) The Statement shall become final and binding upon Seller and Purchaser at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is sixty (60) days following Seller’s receipt thereof (the “Disagreement Deadline”), unless Seller gives written notice to Purchaser of its disagreement with the Statement and any item or calculation set forth therein (the “Notice of Disagreement”) prior to such time, which Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail each item or calculation subject to disagreement, the nature and basis of any such disagreement so asserted and, to the extent reasonably practicable, Seller’s alternative calculation of each disputed item or calculation, and each item or calculation contained in the Statement that is not subject to the Notice of Disagreement shall become final and binding upon Seller and Purchaser; provided, however, that if Purchaser has not provided the access or information to Seller contemplated by Section 1.04(d), the Disagreement Deadline shall be automatically extended until the date that is five (5) Business Days after Purchaser provides such access or information pursuant to Section 1.04(d). If the Notice of Disagreement is delivered by Seller prior to the Disagreement Deadline, then the Statement (as revised in accordance with this Section 1.04) shall become final and binding upon Seller and Purchaser on the earlier of (A) the date Seller and Purchaser resolve in writing all differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (B) the date all disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.04. During the thirty (30)-day period following the delivery of the Notice of Disagreement (the “Resolution Period”), Seller and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and agree on a final and binding determination of such disputed items or calculations. If any matter specified in the Notice of Disagreement remains in dispute at the end of the Resolution Period, then Seller and Purchaser shall engage the dispute resolution group of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or, if Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP refuses such engagement, the dispute resolution group of an internationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser (the “Accounting Firm”), to resolve any and all such matters and, no later than five (5) days following such engagement, shall submit to the Accounting Firm in writing their respective positions with respect to any and all matters that remain in dispute and that were included in the Notice of Disagreement. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Accounting Firm that it (1) shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, (2) shall review only the matters that were included in the Notice of Disagreement and that remain in dispute, (3) shall make its determination in accordance with the requirements of this Section 1.04 and based solely on the written submissions of Seller and Purchaser and their respective Representatives and not by independent review, (4) shall not assign a value for any item that remains in dispute that is greater than the greatest value or smaller than the smallest value set forth by either Party with respect to such item in their respective written submissions to the Accounting Firm as to the resolution of such item and (5) shall render its written decision as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after submission to the Accounting Firm of the last to be submitted of the Parties’ respective written submissions as to the resolution of all matters in dispute. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall furnish to the Accounting Firm such Records and information relating to the disputed items as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request in connection with its determination of such disputed items. A copy of all materials submitted to the Accounting Firm by Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall be provided to such other Party concurrently with the submission thereof to the Accounting Firm. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any ex parte communications (whether written or oral) with the Accounting Firm. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Firm shall be limited to whether there were mathematical errors in the Statement and whether any component of Purchase Price as calculated in the Statement was calculated in accordance with the applicable definitions herein, the

Accounting Principles and this Section 1.04, and the Accounting Firm is not authorized or permitted to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether the Accounting Principles were followed in calculating Target Working Capital or whether any inclusion in or omission from the Reference Balance Sheet is correct. Any determination by the Accounting Firm, and any work or analysis performed by the Accounting Firm in connection with its resolution of any dispute under this Section 1.04, shall not be admissible in evidence in any Proceeding between Seller and Purchaser, other than to the extent necessary to enforce any payment obligation under Section 1.04(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Accounting Firm is not authorized or permitted to make any determination as to any matter contemplated by this Agreement, except as set forth in this Section 1.04. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Accounting Firm that it reached its decision in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.04(b). The certificate of the Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, absent manifest error or fraud. At any time, including following the Resolution Period, Seller and Purchaser may agree in writing to settle any disputed matter set forth in the Notice of Disagreement, including any disputed matter submitted to the Accounting Firm, which agreement shall be final and binding upon Seller and Purchaser; provided that, if such disputed matter has been submitted to the Accounting Firm, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Accounting Firm not to resolve such disputed matter, it being agreed that if the Accounting Firm nonetheless resolves such disputed matter, the agreement of Seller and Purchaser with respect to such disputed matter shall control. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in its capacity as such shall be borne by Seller and Purchaser in inverse proportion as the Parties may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The fees, costs and expenses of Purchaser incurred in connection with its preparation of the Statement, its review of the Notice of Disagreement and its preparation of any written submission to the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Purchaser, and the fees, costs and expenses of Seller incurred in connection with its review of the Statement, its preparation of the Notice of Disagreement and its preparation of any written submission to the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Seller.

(c) If the Closing Date Purchase Price is less than the Final Purchase Price, then Purchaser shall pay to an account designated in writing by Seller the amount of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than five (5) Business Days after the Statement becomes final and binding on Seller and Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.04(b). If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Closing Date Purchase Price, then Seller shall pay to an account designated in writing by Purchaser the amount of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than five (5) Business Days after the Statement becomes final and binding on Seller and Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.04(b).

(d) Purchaser agrees that, from and after the Closing and until the date on which the Statement shall become final and binding on the Parties pursuant to Section 1.04(b), (i) it shall preserve the accounting Records of the Company on which the Statement is to be based and shall not take any action with respect to such Records that would obstruct, prevent or otherwise affect the procedures or the results of the procedures set forth in this Section 1.04 and (ii) it shall afford and cause to be afforded to Seller and any Representative of Seller, in connection with the preparation of the Notice of Disagreement and any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 1.04, access, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to such properties, books, contracts, personnel (including personnel responsible for accounting and finance and senior management) and Records of the Company and Purchaser’s and its accountants’ work papers as Seller may reasonably request if, and solely to the extent, relevant to the preparation of the Statement, the Notice of Disagreement or the adjustment contemplated by this Section 1.04, and shall provide Seller, upon Seller’s reasonable request and at Seller’s expense, with copies of any such books, contracts and Records; provided that any such access, books, contracts, Records or information provided pursuant to this Section 1.04(d) shall be used by Seller solely for purposes of determining any adjustment to the Purchase Price (including in preparing the Notice of Disagreement).

(e) Any amounts paid pursuant to Section 1.04(c) will constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes hereunder (including U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes), unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 1.05 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts payable to one another under this Agreement any amounts required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Tax Law; provided, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not deduct or withhold for any Taxes under U.S. federal

(and applicable state and local) income Tax law unless Seller fails to deliver the form described in Section 1.02(b)(i), in which case Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate shall deduct and withhold for any such Taxes that it is required to deduct and withhold under applicable U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income Tax law. If any of Purchaser and its Affiliates proposes to make any deduction or withholding for Taxes under this Agreement, then they shall (x) give Seller prior written notice of such intention at least 10 Business Days prior to making any such deduction or withholding, and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any request by Seller to reduce or eliminate such proposed deduction or withholding. Any amounts so deducted and withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 1.06 Local Transfer Agreements. To the extent required or desirable (as reasonably determined by the Parties) under applicable foreign Law to effect the Transactions, the Parties shall execute and deliver or cause their respective Affiliates to execute and deliver such asset transfer agreements, bills of sale, deeds, assignments, assumptions and other documents and instruments of sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer and assumption (the “Local Transfer Agreements”) as are necessary to effect any transfer of the Local Transferred Assets or any assumption of the Local Assumed Liabilities at the Closing (which transfers and assumptions shall, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, be on an “as-is”, “where-is” basis, without representation or warranty of any kind or nature). The Local Transfer Agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably agreed to by the Parties and as is customary in the applicable jurisdiction or required by applicable foreign Law; provided that the Parties agree and acknowledge that the Local Transfer Agreements are intended solely to effect the legal transfer of the applicable Local Transferred Assets, or the assumption of the Local Assumed Liabilities, and shall be, in all respects, consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Local Transfer Agreements shall not alter in any way the allocation of rights, obligations, benefits, costs and risks established between the parties in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, and shall cause the relevant subsidiary of Purchaser that is a party to the Local Transfer Agreement to acknowledge and agree, that Seller and any relevant subsidiary of Seller that is a party to a Local Transfer Agreement do not make or grant, and shall not be deemed to make or grant, in or in connection with the Local Transfer Agreements, any representations, warranties, guarantees, covenants or indemnities to Purchaser or the relevant subsidiary of Purchaser that is a party to the Local Transfer Agreement, other than, with respect to Seller, for the representations and warranties set forth in Article II and Article III and in the certificates contemplated by Section 8.01(a)(iii) and Section 8.01(b)(iii). In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and a Local Transfer Agreement, this Agreement shall control. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser may designate one or more of its subsidiaries to acquire the Local Transferred Assets or assume the Local Assumed Liabilities in each jurisdiction.

Article II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE COMPANY

Except as disclosed (i) with respect to the members of the Company Group or the Business in the Seller Public Filings, other than any risk factor disclosure in any such Seller Public Filing contained in any “Risk Factors” or similarly titled section thereof or other cautionary, forward-looking or predictive statements in any such Seller Public Filing (it being understood that any factual and/or historical statement contained within such sections shall not be excluded), or (ii) in the Disclosure Schedule (subject to Section 12.07), Seller and the Company hereby represent and warrant to Purchaser as follows:

(b) Each member of the Company Group is duly qualified to do business and, where applicable, is in good standing under the laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which the ownership or use of the properties owned or used by it

or the nature of the activities conducted by it requires such qualification, except, in each case, where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(c) True, complete and correct copies of the organizational documents of each member of the Company Group, as amended as of the date of this Agreement, have been made available to Purchaser.

Section 2.02 Authority; Binding Effect.

(a) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each of the Other Transaction Documents to which it is specified to be a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and perform its other obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, prior to the Closing, the Company will have duly executed and delivered each of the Other Transaction Documents to which it is specified to be a party.

(a) Section 2.14(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of all material Seller Benefit Plans. Section 2.14(a)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of all Company Benefit Plans. Section 2.14(a)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of each Seller Benefit Plan (or portion thereof) which is to be assumed by a member of the Company Group in conjunction with the Transactions (each, an “Assumed Benefit Plan”).

(b) Seller has delivered to Purchaser, as of the date of this Agreement, a true and complete list of each outstanding equity-based award granted under any Benefit Plan and held by a Transferred Employee, including for each such award, on a holder-by-holder basis, the type of award, the number of shares of Seller common stock subject thereto, the grant date, the expiration date, the Benefit Plan under which the award was granted, the exercise price (if applicable) and the vesting schedule (including the amount vested and unvested).

(c) With respect to each Assumed Benefit Plan and material Company Benefit Plan providing benefits to employees in the United States, Seller has made available to Purchaser, as of the date of this Agreement, complete and accurate copies of (as applicable): (i) the plan document, including any material amendment or supplement thereto, and the most recent summary plan description; (ii) the most recent determination or opinion letter received from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”); (iii) for any Assumed Benefit Plan or material Company Benefit Plan that is unwritten, a written description of the material terms of such Assumed Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Plan; (iv) each trust, insurance, annuity or other funding Contract related thereto; (v) the two most recently prepared actuarial valuation reports or audited financial statements and (vi) the two most recent annual reports on Form 5500. With respect to each material Seller Benefit Plan, Seller has made available to

Purchaser, as of the date of this Agreement, complete and accurate copies of (as applicable) (i) the plan document, summary plan description or a summary of all material terms and (ii) the most recent determination or opinion letter received from the IRS.

(d) With respect to each Assumed Benefit Plan and except as would not reasonably be expected to result in material Liability to any member of the Company Group with respect to each Company Benefit Plan: (i) such plan is being maintained and administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and the requirements of ERISA, the Code and other applicable Law; (ii) all employer and employee contributions required to have been made to each Benefit Plan have been timely made; and (iii) no Proceeding (including any audit) is pending, or, to the Knowledge of Seller, has been threatened in writing, with respect to any Benefit Plan, other than ordinary course claims for benefits.

(e) Each Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or relies upon an opinion or advisory letter from the IRS to the effect that such Benefit Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code in form and which letter or opinion has not been revoked (nor has revocation been threatened). There are no existing circumstances and no events that have occurred that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any such Benefit Plan or the related trust.

(f) In connection with the operation or conduct of the Business, each Assumed Benefit Plan and Company Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code is and has been maintained and operated in documentary and operational compliance in all respects with Section 409A of the Code or an available exemption therefrom.

(g) Neither (i) Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate (on behalf of any Business Employee) nor (ii) any member of the Company Group sponsors, maintains, contributes to or has been required to contribute to, or has any actual or contingent Liability (including on account of any ERISA Affiliate) under, (A) any Benefit Plan that is a “defined benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA), (B) any “multiple employer plan” (as defined in Section 4064 of ERISA), (C) any “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA) or (D) any Multiemployer Plan or a plan that has two or more contributing sponsors at least two of whom are not under common control (as defined in Section 4063 of ERISA).

(h) No Benefit Plan provides post-employment or post-retirement health, medical, life insurance or other welfare benefits other than health continuation coverage pursuant to Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, Section 4980B of the Code or any similar applicable Law (“COBRA”). No member of the Company Group has any Liability to provide any Business Employee or Former Business Employee with post-employment or post-retirement health, medical, life insurance or other welfare benefits and no communication has been made that could reasonably be interpreted to promise or guarantee such Business Employee or Former Business Employee with such benefits.

(i) No event has occurred with respect to any Multiemployer Plan to which Seller or any of its Affiliates has at any time had an obligation to contribute that reasonably can be expected to constitute a “withdrawal” or “partial withdrawal” with respect to such Multiemployer Plan (as such terms are defined in Title IV of ERISA). Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates (A) has received any notice from any Multiemployer Plan set forth on Section 2.14(g) of the Disclosure Schedule that increased contributions may be required to avoid a reduction in plan benefits or the imposition of any excise tax, or that any such Multiemployer Plan is or may become insolvent, (B) has failed to make any required contributions to any Multiemployer Plan set forth on Section 2.14(g) of the Disclosure Schedule and (C) has (or may have as a result of the Transactions contemplated hereby) any withdrawal Liability by reason of a sale of assets pursuant to Section 4204 of ERISA. To the Knowledge of Seller, none of the Multiemployer Plans set forth on Section 2.14(g) of the Disclosure Schedule are party to any pending merger or asset or Liability transfer and there are no PBGC proceedings against or affecting any such Multiemployer Plan. To the Knowledge of Seller, nothing has occurred or is expected to occur that would materially increase the amount of contributions that Seller or any of its Affiliates is required to make to any Multiemployer Plan listed on Section 2.14(g) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(j) None of Seller, any ERISA Affiliate or, to the Knowledge of Seller, any fiduciary, has engaged in any non-exempt “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) that would reasonably be

expected to subject any Assumed Benefit Plan its related trust or the Company Group to any Tax or penalty imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA. None of Seller, any ERISA Affiliate or, to the Knowledge of Seller, any fiduciary, has engaged in any non-exempt “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) that would reasonably be expected to subject any Seller Benefit Plan, its related trust or the Company Group to any Tax or penalty imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA that could reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(k) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in material Liability to the Company Group, all contributions required to be made to any Assumed Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Plan (as applicable) by applicable Law or by any plan document or other Contract, and all premiums due or payable with respect to insurance policies funding any Assumed Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Plan (as applicable), for any prior period, have been timely made or paid in full or, to the extent not required to be previously made or paid, have been fully reflected on the books and records of Seller or the applicable member of the Company Group (as applicable) in accordance with GAAP.

(l) Each Benefit Plan subject to the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States (i) has been maintained in all material respects in accordance with all applicable requirements, (ii) that is intended to qualify for special tax treatment, meets all the applicable requirements for such treatment in all material respects, and (iii) that is intended to be funded or book reserved, is funded or book reserved, as appropriate, based upon reasonable actuarial assumptions in accordance with applicable Law.

(m) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions will (either alone or in combination with another event) (i) accelerate the time of payment or vesting of, or increase the amount of, any compensation or benefits due to any Business Employee or Former Business Employee or (ii) result in any payment (including severance, bonuses or other compensatory payments) becoming due to any Business Employee or Former Business Employee.

(n) Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates has any obligation to indemnify, hold harmless, gross-up, make-whole or make any additional payment to any Business Employee or Former Business Employee in respect of any Tax (including Taxes imposed under Section 4999 or 409A of the Code) or any interest or penalty related thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no amount paid or payable (whether in cash, in property, or in the form of benefits) in connection with the Transactions (either solely as a result thereof or as a result of such Transactions in conjunction with any other event) will be an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

Section 2.15 Absence of Changes or Events.

(a) Since the Latest Balance Sheet Date, there has not been any change, effect, event or occurrence that has resulted in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

With respect to any Guarantees provided by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than any member of the Company Group) for the benefit of the Company Group set forth on Section 6.02 of the Disclosure Schedule, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) arrange for replacement arrangements from Purchaser or its Affiliates and (ii) obtain releases effective as of the Closing indicating that Seller and its Affiliates (other than any member of the Company Group) shall have no liability with respect thereto in such form and substance as is reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in respect of the foregoing; provided that Purchaser shall reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in assisting Purchaser. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates (other than any member of the Company Group) from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with any of the foregoing Guarantees.

Section 6.03 Securities Act. Purchaser shall not sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, or offer to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, the Shares in violation of any of the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Section 6.04 Insurance.

(a) Except as expressly provided in this Section 6.04, from and after the Closing, the members of the Company Group shall cease to be insured by any insurance policy held by, or any self-insurance program of, Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the members of the Company Group) (such policies and programs, the “Seller Insurance Policies”), and neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, each member of the Company Group) shall have any access, right, title or interest in, to or under the Seller Insurance Policies (including any right of coverage or to any claim or proceeds thereof) to cover any assets of the Company Group or any liability arising from the operation of the Company Group and the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any events or circumstances arising out of the operation or conduct of the Company Group that occurred or existed prior to the Closing that are covered by any occurrence-based Seller Insurance Policies, Purchaser or the members of the Company Group, as applicable, may, after the Closing and subject to prior consultation with Seller, make claims with respect to such events or circumstances under such Seller Insurance Policies to the extent coverage is so available; provided that (i) Purchaser and the Company Group shall exclusively bear the amount of any “deductibles” or retentions associated with any such claims under such Seller Insurance Policies and shall otherwise be liable for all uninsured or unrecovered amounts of such claims, (ii) Purchaser and the Company Group shall be liable, and shall reimburse Seller, for any fees, costs or expenses, including any retroactive or prospective premium adjustments for pre-Closing occurrence based policies to the extent arising from any such claims, incurred by Seller or its Affiliates directly or indirectly through the insurers or reinsurers of the Seller Insurance Policies relating to such claims and (iii) Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to monitor or associate with such claims. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other in connection with tendering any claims to the applicable insurers under the Seller Insurance Policies. Seller shall not be liable for the inability of Purchaser to collect insurance proceeds under any Seller Insurance Policy. The terms of such policies shall remain unaffected by the terms of this Agreement.

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement and until the three-month anniversary of the Closing Date, at Purchaser’s request and sole cost and expense, Seller shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, provide reasonable assistance to Purchaser in obtaining “tail” or “run-off” policies or policy endorsements, as the case may be, for the members of the Company Group (in each case that will be effective not earlier than the Closing) with respect to any claims-based Seller Insurance Policy that currently benefits any member of the Company Group or the Business; provided that such assistance by Seller shall not include incurring any out-of-pocket financial expense or liability, including but not limited to premiums, underwriting fees, brokers’ commissions and other costs and expenses.

(c) This Section 6.04 shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance, and nothing in this Section 6.04 is intended to waive or abrogate in any way Seller’s own rights to coverage under any Seller Insurance Policy for any liability. Seller or its applicable Affiliate (other than the members of the Company Group) (i) shall retain all rights to control their insurance policies or programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs notwithstanding whether any such insurance policies or programs apply to any Liabilities of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the members of the Company Group), and (ii) may amend or modify any insurance policy or program in the manner it deems appropriate to give effect, from and after the Closing, to this Section 6.04; provided that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates may take any such action described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) to the extent such action would materially and disproportionately impair the rights of Purchaser and the members of the Company Group to access the Seller Insurance Policies as set forth herein as compared to the rights of Seller and its Affiliates with respect to such Seller Insurance Policies. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for its operation of the Company Group and the Business.

Section 6.05 R&W Insurance Policy. Purchaser has entered into a binder agreement for issuance of the R&W Insurance Policy by the R&W Insurer, and has provided a true, correct and complete copy thereof to Seller. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that, without Seller’s prior written consent, (a) all premiums, underwriting fees, brokers’ commissions and other costs and expenses related to the R&W Insurance Policy shall be borne solely by Purchaser or its Affiliates, (b) such R&W Insurance Policy shall not provide for any “seller retention” (as such phrase is commonly used in the R&W Insurance Policy industry), (c) such R&W Insurance Policy shall expressly waive any claims of subrogation against Seller (except with respect to claims for Fraud), (d) Seller, its Affiliates and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members, managers, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors or permitted assigns shall be intended third party beneficiaries of such waiver and (e) none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall amend, waive, modify or otherwise revise the R&W Insurance Policy in any manner inconsistent with the foregoing.

Article VII

MUTUAL COVENANTS

Section 7.01 Efforts.

(a) Prior to the Closing, except (i) with respect to the matters described in Section 7.01(b), which shall be governed by the provisions thereof, or (ii) where greater efforts are expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, each Party shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Article VIII to be satisfied and to consummate the Transactions, including by using reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary and advisable third party Consents; provided that (x) none of Purchaser, Seller or the Company shall be required to commence or participate in any litigation or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to obtain any such third party Consents and (y) no such third party Consents shall be deemed to be a condition to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Transactions. Purchaser and Seller shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to not, take any action that would, or that would reasonably be expected to, result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII not being satisfied in a timely manner or otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions.

(b) Antitrust Matters.

(i) Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to make any Filings and obtain any Authorizations required under or in connection with any Antitrust Law and the NSIA, and to enable all waiting periods under any Antitrust Law to expire, in each case, to consummate the Acquisition and the other Transactions as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the Outside Date. In connection thereto, Purchaser and Seller shall (A) as promptly as practicable and in any event not more than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (x) make or cause to be made any filings required of each of them or any of their respective Affiliates under the HSR Act and (y) submit the initial notification under the NSIA; and (B) cooperate with each other in connection with any such filing and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any Governmental Entity under any applicable Law with respect

to any such filing or the Transactions. Subject to applicable Law, each Party shall (I) promptly inform the other Parties of any material oral communication with, and provide copies of material written communications (excluding the HSR filing itself) with, any Governmental Entity regarding any such filings or the Transactions and (II) upon request of the other Parties, provide all information concerning itself, its Affiliates, its and their respective directors, officers or equityholders, as applicable, and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any such filings or the Transactions and (III) permit the other Parties to review in advance (and to consider in good faith any comments made by the other Parties in relation to) any proposed material communication by such Party to any Governmental Entity relating to any such filings or the Transactions; provided, that (x) Seller and Purchaser may, as each determines is reasonably necessary, designate competitively sensitive material provided to the other pursuant to this Section 7.01 as “Outside Counsel Only” and such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to directors, officers or employees of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of such materials (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be) or its legal counsel and (y) materials may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company Group and the Business, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or applicable Law and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns. Subject to applicable Law, no Party shall independently participate in any substantive meeting, telephone call or discussion with any Governmental Entity in respect of any such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other Parties prior notice of the meeting, telephone call or discussion and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and/or participate. Subject to applicable Law and the instructions of any Governmental Entity, each of Seller and Purchaser shall keep such other Party apprised of the status of matters relating to Filings required to be made and Authorizations required to be obtained in connection with the Acquisition and the other Transactions, including by promptly notifying such other Party of, or furnishing such other Party with copies of, notices or other communications received by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, or any of their respective Affiliates, from any Governmental Entity with respect to such Filings or Authorizations. Purchaser shall be responsible for all filing fees payable by any Party hereto with respect to any Filings and Authorizations under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law in connection with the Transactions. Except for such filing fees, each Party shall pay such Party’s and its Affiliates’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with preparing, filing and obtaining all Filings and Authorizations under the HSR Act, any other Antitrust Law, the NSIA or otherwise, including responding to any requests for information received from any Governmental Entity in respect of such filings, including legal, accounting, and economic analyses fees.

(ii) Purchaser shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to not, acquire, invest in, or otherwise obtain any interest in or agree to acquire, invest in or otherwise obtain any interest in by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing any assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any Person or portion thereof if the entering into a definitive agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, investment, purchase, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to (A) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the Transactions or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (B) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions or (C) materially delay the consummation of the Transactions.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth herein, it is agreed that Purchaser shall make all strategic decisions and lead all discussions, negotiations and other proceedings, and coordinate all activities with respect to any filings, notifications, submissions, communications, or requests that may be made by, or any actions, nonactions or Consents that may be sought by or from, any Governmental Entity that are necessary to consummate the Transactions, including determining the strategy for contesting, litigating or otherwise responding to objections to, or Proceedings challenging, the consummation of the Transactions; provided that Purchaser shall consult in good faith with Seller regarding any such decisions and activities.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.01, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to take, or agree to take, any action with respect to its business or operations other than with respect to the Company Group or the Business; provided, that in no event shall Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group) be required to take, or agree to take, any such action with respect to the Company Group or the Business unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing.

Section 7.02 Further Action. From time to time after the Closing, upon the reasonable request of either Purchaser or Seller, the other of such Parties shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and assure the rights and obligations provided for in this Agreement and render effective the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 7.03 Records.

(a) During the seven (7)-year period following the Closing Date, upon reasonable advance written notice, each of Seller and Purchaser shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other and their respective Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, and upon reasonable notice, to such information, Records (including by furnishing copies thereof) and assistance (including by providing access to personnel) relating to the Company Group and the Business for periods prior to the Closing (to the extent within the control of such Party) as is reasonably necessary (i) for financial reporting and accounting matters, (ii) to facilitate the investigation, litigation, settlement and final disposition of any claims that may have been or may be made by or against Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates (excluding any claims made by one Party or its Affiliates against another Party or its Affiliates) or (iii) in connection with any investigation by any Governmental Entity, in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), other than in connection with any claim related to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 7.06. Purchaser and Seller each shall reimburse the other for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in assisting Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 7.03(a). Nothing in this Section 7.03(a) shall obligate Purchaser or Seller to (A) furnish any access, information, Records or assistance that does not relate to the Company Group or the Business for periods prior to the Closing or (B) take any action that would (x) unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business or unreasonably disrupt its normal operations, (y) violate or result in a waiver of any attorney-client privilege of Seller, Purchaser or any member of the Company Group or violate any applicable Law or (z) breach any duty of confidentiality or other obligation owed to any Person.

(b) During the seven (7)-year period following the Closing Date, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall destroy or otherwise dispose, or permit the destruction or disposal, of any Records relating to the Company Group or the Business for periods prior to the Closing that are in its or its Affiliates’ possession without first giving the other of such Parties written notice of such intended destruction or disposition no later than twenty (20) days prior to the date of such destruction or disposition and offering such other Party the opportunity to copy such Records or to deliver to such other Party, at such other Party’s expense, custody of such Records. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall destroy or otherwise dispose, or permit the destruction or disposal, of any Records relating to the finances and Taxes of the Company (“Tax Records”) until the expiration of the last to expire of all applicable statutes of limitations for the taxable period or periods to which such Tax Records relate; provided, that prior to disposing of any such Tax Records after such period, Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall provide written notice to the other Party of its intent to dispose of such Tax Records and shall provide such Party with the opportunity to take ownership and possession of such Tax Records (at such Party’s sole expense) within 60 days after such notice is delivered.

Section 7.04 Wrong Pockets.

(a) If, at any time after the Closing, Seller or any of its Affiliates (i) receives any funds (including any refund or other amount relating to any claim (in respect of workers’ compensation, litigation, insurance or otherwise)) arising from the Business, (ii) owns or is in possession of any Local Transferred Asset, Specified Asset or any other asset (including Intellectual Property) primarily used or held for use in the conduct of the Business (excluding any Excluded Asset) or (iii) remains subject to any Assumed Liabilities, then Seller shall promptly transfer or assign, or cause its applicable Affiliate to transfer or assign, such funds, assets or Liabilities to the Company or its designated Affiliate (and the Company or its designated Affiliate shall accept any such funds or assets and irrevocably assume any such Liabilities), for no additional consideration, and the Company shall reimburse Seller for reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates to effect such transfer or assignment or fulfill its obligation pursuant to the following sentence, if applicable. Until the transfer of any such funds or assets are effected, Seller shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, preserve the value of, and hold in trust for the use and benefit of, the Company or its designated Affiliate, such funds or assets and provide to the Company or its designated Affiliate all of the

benefits arising from such funds or assets and otherwise cause such funds or assets to be used as reasonably instructed by the Company or its designated Affiliate.

(b) If, at any time after the Closing, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group) (i) receives any funds (including any refund or other amount relating to any claim (in respect of workers’ compensation, litigation, insurance or otherwise)) arising from the Retained Business, (ii) owns or is in possession of any Excluded Asset or any other asset (including Intellectual Property) primarily used or held for use in the conduct of the Retained Business (excluding any Specified Asset) or (iii) remains subject to any Retained Liabilities, then Purchaser shall promptly transfer or assign, or cause its applicable Affiliate to transfer or assign, such funds, assets or Liabilities to Seller or its designated Affiliate (and Seller or its designated Affiliate shall accept any such funds or assets and irrevocably assume any such Liabilities), for no additional consideration, and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to effect such transfer or assignment or fulfill its obligation pursuant to the following sentence, if applicable. Until the transfer of any such funds or assets are effected, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, preserve the value of, and hold in trust for the use and benefit of, Seller or its designated Affiliate, such funds or assets and provide to Seller or its designated Affiliate all of the benefits arising from such funds or assets and otherwise cause such funds or assets to be used as reasonably instructed by Seller or its designated Affiliate.

Section 7.05 Publicity. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the earlier to occur of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX, neither Seller nor Purchaser will, or will permit any of its Affiliates to, make or issue any public release or announcement concerning the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby without the prior written consent of the other of such Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange or listing authority, in which case the Party required to make the release or announcement (or whose Affiliate is required to make such release or announcement) shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and permitted by applicable Law, allow the other of such Parties a reasonable opportunity to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance and the Party issuing such release or announcement shall consider any reasonable comments of the other of such Parties in good faith; provided, that each of Seller and Purchaser may make internal announcements to their respective employees that are consistent with such Party’s prior public disclosures regarding the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and that otherwise have been made in accordance with this Section 7.05. Seller and Xxxxxxxxx agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents following the date of this Agreement and following the Closing, respectively, shall be in the form mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser.

Section 7.06 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Sharing Agreements. On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate (or cause to be terminated) any tax sharing agreements between Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than a member of the Company Group) and any member of the Company Group, and any such tax sharing agreements shall have no further effect for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year, or a past year).

(b) Tax Returns.

(i) Seller shall include the income of the Company and its consolidated U.S. Company Subsidiaries on Seller’s consolidated U.S. federal Income Tax Return (and, to the extent applicable, consolidated, combined and unitary state Income Tax Returns) for the tax period that ends on the Closing Date and all Transaction Tax Deductions shall be reported on such Income Tax Returns in a Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent such Transaction Tax Deductions are “more likely than not” allocable (or allocable at a higher level of confidence) to a Pre-Closing Tax Period under applicable Law. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in the preparation or filing of, any Consolidated Tax Return.

(ii)

(A) Seller shall timely prepare or cause to be timely prepared the Tax Returns described on Section 7.06(b)(ii)(A) of the Disclosure Schedule (each, a “Seller Tax Return”). Each such Seller Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the most recent past practice, procedures and accounting methods of the applicable members of the Company Group, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or explicitly set forth in this Agreement (the “Preparation Principles”). Seller shall deliver a copy of each Seller Tax Return to Purchaser at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date thereof for Purchaser’s review and comment, and Seller shall incorporate any reasonable and timely comments made by Purchaser that are consistent with the Preparation Principles. Upon incorporation by Seller of any such comments made by Purchaser, Purchaser shall cause each Seller Tax Return to be timely filed.

(B) Once each Seller Tax Return has been filed pursuant to Section 7.06(b)(ii)(A), the Parties shall work together in good faith and reasonably cooperate (including sharing information) to determine the difference, if any, between (x) the aggregate amount included in the Pre-Closing Tax Amount (as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.04) that was attributable to the Seller Tax Returns (the “Clause X Amount”), and (y) the aggregate amount shown as due and owing on the Seller Tax Returns as filed pursuant to Section 7.06(b)(ii)(A), adjusted for each such-filed Seller Tax Return (if at all, upwards or downwards, as the case may be) to conform in all respects to the assumptions and conditions in the definition of Pre-Closing Tax Amount and to reflect the amount that would have been included in the Pre-Closing Tax Amount with respect to such Seller Tax Return had such amount been calculated pursuant to Section 1.04 (the “Clause Y Amount”). If the absolute value of the difference between the Clause X Amount and the Clause Y Amount is less than or equal to 10% of the Clause X Amount, the Parties shall not owe each other any amounts pursuant to this Section 7.06(b)(ii)(B). If the absolute value of the difference between the Clause X Amount and the Clause Y Amount is greater than 10% of the Clause X Amount, then (a) if the Clause X Amount is greater than the Clause Y Amount, Purchaser shall pay Seller 100% of the difference between the Clause X Amount and the Clause Y Amount, and (b) if the Clause X Amount is less than the Clause Y Amount, Seller shall pay Purchaser 100% of the difference between the Clause Y Amount and the Clause X Amount. Any disputes between Seller and Purchaser regarding the determination of amounts under this Section 7.06(b)(ii)(B) shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 1.04(b) (applied mutatis mutandis). The time at which the amount, if any, owing between the Parties pursuant to this Section 7.06(b)(ii)(B) is finally determined shall be referred to as the “Section 7.06(b)(ii)(B) Finalization Time.” For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, any amounts paid between Purchaser and Seller pursuant to this Section 7.06(b)(ii)(B) are intended to be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(iii) Purchaser shall timely prepare and file or cause to be timely prepared and filed any Tax Returns (other than Consolidated Tax Returns and Seller Tax Returns) required to be filed by the Company Group with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period the due date of which, taking into account extensions, is after the Closing Date (each, a “Purchaser Tax Return”). Prior to the final determination of the Purchase Price under Section 1.04, the Purchaser Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Preparation Principles.

(c) Post-Closing Transactions not in Ordinary Course. Without Seller’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Purchaser shall not take any actions with respect to the Company Group on the Closing Date after the Closing that are outside the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller agree to report all transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing (including any transaction engaged in by the Company Group in connection with the financing of any obligations of Purchaser to make a payment under this Agreement) on the Income Tax Return that includes the Company Group for the taxable period beginning on the day after the Closing Date to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law) at a “more likely than not” (or higher) level of confidence.

(d) Post-Closing Tax Actions.

(i) Subject to Section 7.06(d)(ii), without the prior written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), Purchaser shall not, and, following the Closing, shall cause the Company Group not to, (A) approach a Governmental Entity with respect to any Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the entrance into any voluntary disclosure or other similar agreement with any Governmental Entity), (B) amend, file (except as provided in Section 7.06(b)) or re-file any Tax Return of any member of the Company Group for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (C) agree to waive or extend the statute of limitations relating to any Taxes of any member of the Company Group for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or

(D) make, revoke or change any election with respect to, or that has a retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period of any member of the Company Group.

(ii) Without limiting Section 7.06(d)(iii), after the final determination of the Purchase Price under Section 1.04, the limitations in Section 7.06(d)(i) shall not apply except to the extent that any such action would reasonably be expected to impact (x) a Consolidated Tax Return or (y) a Seller Tax Return; provided, that clause (y) shall become inoperative upon the Section 7.06(b)(ii)(B) Finalization Time; provided, further, that before the final determination of the Purchase Price under Section 1.04, Purchaser may, after informing Seller, take any action described in Section 7.06(d)(i) (other than an action that would reasonably be expected to impact a Consolidated Tax Return or a Seller Tax Return) but such action shall not (unless Seller in its sole discretion determines otherwise) impact the determination of the Purchase Price under Section 1.04.

(iii) Purchaser shall not make any election under Code Section 338 or Code Section 336 (or any similar provision under state, local or non-U.S. Law) with respect to the acquisition of the Company Group except as provided in Section 7.06(h).

(e) Straddle Periods. For the purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, (i) the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, or payroll of the Company Group, or any other Tax (other than property, ad valorem, or similar Taxes) for the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any Company Subsidiary that is a partnership or other pass-through entity or that is a non-U.S. entity shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and (ii) the amount of any property, ad valorem, or similar other Taxes of the Company Group for a Straddle Period that relates to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(f) Tax Cooperation. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate fully with each other, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation, filing and execution of Tax Returns (including with respect to the details of the Proposed Allocation and the Final Allocation), any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes (including with respect to any assets or operations of any member of the Company Group, regardless whether a Person other than such member of the Company Group owned such assets or conducted such operations in a Pre-Closing Tax Period), any financial accounting matters related to Taxes and the determination of the Pre-Closing Tax Amount and any other items related to Taxes for purposes of finally determining the Purchase Price under Section 1.04. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding during normal business hours and making employees available (as reasonably requested) on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Purchaser and Seller further agree, upon reasonable request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain any certificate or other document from any Taxing Authority or any other Person or (ii) take any other action as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on any Party (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, in no event will Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser (including, after the Closing, any member of the Company Group) have any rights with respect to (including the preparation thereof) or access to any Tax Return or other Tax information or workpapers of Seller and its Affiliates that do not relate exclusively to the Company Group, including any Consolidated Tax Return; provided, that Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts (at Purchaser’s cost for any non-de minimis third-party out-of-pocket expenses that Seller incurs outside the ordinary course of business and with Purchaser’s written consent; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, if Purchaser withholds its consent then Seller shall not have any obligation to provide information pursuant to this proviso that would trigger such non-de minimis third-party out of pocket expenses) to provide any information reflected in such Tax Returns or other materials that is reasonably relevant to the Company Group and reasonably requested by Purchaser (including, for the avoidance of doubt, information necessary to determine the basis in the stock of or the previously taxed earnings and profits or other Tax attributes of any member of the Company Group for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local income Tax purposes).

(g) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes that are imposed on any of the Parties (or their respective Affiliates) by any Taxing Authority as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (excluding the Company Internal Reorganization) shall be borne 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Seller. Any Transfer Taxes that are imposed on any of the Parties (or their respective Affiliates) as a result of the Company Internal Reorganization shall be borne by Seller. The Party responsible under applicable Law for filing any necessary Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes will prepare and timely file all such Tax Returns, make such Tax Returns available to the non-filing Party reasonably promptly prior to the due date for any such Tax Returns, and incorporate any reasonable comments received prior to the due date for any such Tax Returns. The non-filing Party shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the filing Party its portion of all Transfer Taxes shown as due on any such Tax Return no later than the due date for such Tax Return, except, with respect to Transfer Taxes allocated to Seller, to the extent taken into account in the Purchase Price as finally determined under Section 1.04.

(h) Tax Elections.

(i) Purchaser and Seller shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) join in making a timely and valid election with respect to the sale and purchase of the Shares (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any subsidiary of the Company) under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any comparable provision of state or local Tax Law). Purchaser and Seller shall exchange completed and executed copies of IRS Form 8023 and required schedules thereto at the Closing.

(ii) Purchaser shall make (or cause its applicable Affiliates to make) an election under Section 338(g) of the Code (and any comparable provision of state or local Tax Law) for each non-U.S. member of the Company Group that on the Closing Date is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes with respect to the sale and purchase of each such non-U.S. member of the Company Group.

(iii) Purchaser and Seller shall work together in good faith to (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) facilitate and join in the making of any election provided for in this Section 7.06(h), including with respect to the provision of forms or other information that are reasonably required in connection with such elections.

(iv) The Final Purchase Price (and any other amounts properly taken into account for applicable Tax purposes) shall be allocated among the assets or other items (including services) acquired or deemed acquired for Tax purposes in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the allocation principles set forth on Section 7.06(h)(iv) of the Disclosure Schedule. Within sixty (60) days following the final determination of the Final Purchase Price, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a proposed allocation (the “Proposed Allocation”) of the Final Purchase Price and any other amounts properly taken into account for applicable Tax purposes among the assets or other items (including services) acquired or deemed acquired for Tax purposes in connection with the Transactions, which Proposed Allocation shall be consistent with Section 7.06(h)(iv) of the Disclosure Schedule, and Purchaser shall, together with such Proposed Allocation, also deliver a copy of the appraisal that Purchaser obtains as contemplated in Class V of Section 7.06(h)(iv) of the Disclosure Schedule. Seller shall have thirty (30) days to review the Proposed Allocation and deliver to Purchaser a notice of disagreement with the Proposed Allocation, and Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller with such information related to such Proposed Allocation that Seller reasonably requests in the course of Seller’s review of such Proposed Allocation (at Seller’s cost for any non-de minimis third-party out-of-pocket expenses that Purchaser incurs outside the ordinary course of business and with Seller’s written consent; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, if Seller withholds its consent then Purchaser shall not have any obligation to provide information pursuant to this parenthetical that would trigger such non-de minimis third-party out-of-pocket expenses). If Seller fails to deliver any notice of disagreement, the Proposed Allocation shall be considered the “Final Allocation”. If Xxxxxx delivers a notice of disagreement, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days to try to resolve any remaining disputes. At the conclusion of such thirty (30) day period, any matters that remain in dispute shall be submitted to the Accounting Firm (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) for prompt resolution in accordance with the procedures described in Section 1.04, applied mutatis mutandis; provided, that any resolution by the Accounting Firm shall be consistent with Section 7.06(h)(iv) of the Disclosure Schedule. The allocation, as finally agreed by Xxxxxxxxx and Seller or as finally determined by the Accounting Firm consistent with this Section 7.06(h)(iv), shall be the “Final Allocation.” Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, file Tax Returns reporting the Transactions in a manner consistent with such Final Allocation, except as required by a determination (within the meaning of Section 1313

of the Code) or as a Party determines in good faith is required to settle a dispute with a Taxing Authority after making a good faith effort to defend the Final Allocation. Any Final Allocation shall be modified by the parties in good faith to reflect any adjustment to the Final Purchase Price.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Proceeding with respect to Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to (i) any Taxes or Tax Return of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) or (ii) any Consolidated Tax Return.

(j) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any Tax refunds, offsets or credits (other than any such tax refund, offset, or credit attributable to a Consolidated Tax Return) that are received after the Closing Date by Purchaser, any member of the Company Group, or any of their respective Affiliates that relate to Taxes of any member of the Company Group for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Purchaser (and for the further avoidance of doubt, this clause (i) shall not impact the determination of the Purchase Price under Section 1.04) and (ii) Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Proceeding with respect to any member of the Company Group with respect to Taxes or any Tax Return of any member of the Company Group (other than any Consolidated Tax Return and other than the Seller Tax Contest).

Section 7.07 Non-Competition.

(a) During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, own, operate, control, manage, or engage in any Competitive Business.

In the event of a transaction that results in an unaffiliated third party (or its equityholders) acquiring a majority of the equity of Seller (whether by merger, stock sale or otherwise), such unaffiliated third party and its Affiliates (other than Seller and its subsidiaries) shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.07 following the completion of such sale.

Section 7.08 Agreement Not to Solicit.

(a) During the Restricted Period, Seller will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) induce or knowingly encourage any Business Employee to leave the employment of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (ii) solicit for employment or employ any Business Employee; provided, that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not preclude Seller or any of its Affiliates from (A) making general solicitations not specifically directed toward any Business Employee or (B) hiring any Business Employee whose employment by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is terminated at least six (6) months prior to commencement of employment discussions between Seller or any of its Affiliates and such Business Employee.

(b) During the Restricted Period, Purchaser will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) induce or knowingly encourage any employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates who is not a Business Employee to

leave the employment of Seller or any of its Affiliates or (ii) solicit for employment or employ any employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates who is not a Business Employee; provided, that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not preclude Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from (A) making general solicitations not specifically directed toward any such employee or (B) hiring any such employee whose employment by Seller or any of its Affiliates is terminated at least six (6) months prior to commencement of employment discussions between Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and such employee.

Section 7.09 Notifications. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall promptly notify each other of any change, condition or event that renders or would reasonably be expected to render (a) any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate to an extent such that a condition set forth in Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.02(a), as applicable, would not be satisfied if the Closing were to then occur or (b) any of the other conditions set forth in Article VIII incapable of being satisfied; provided that no such notification, nor any failure to make such notification, shall affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies, or the conditions to the obligations of, the Parties.

Section 7.10 Transition Services Agreement. Between the date hereof and prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to negotiate, in good faith, the appendices to the Transition Services Agreement, which shall be based upon, and prepared in accordance with, the terms, conditions and methodologies set forth in Section 7.10 of the Disclosure Schedule.

Section 7.11 Intellectual Property License Agreement. Between the date hereof and prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser (or, as applicable, their respective Affiliates) shall use reasonable best efforts to negotiate, in good faith, the Intellectual Property License Agreement, which shall reflect the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.

(a) Effective upon (and subject to the occurrence of) the Closing, Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Purchaser and the Company Group a nonexclusive, fully paid, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable worldwide, royalty free license to use the Seller Retained Licensed Intellectual Property solely in or in connection with the operation of the Business (including producing, selling, marketing, using, importing and otherwise providing any products or services of the Business) or natural evolutions thereof, and in a manner materially consistent with the use of such Seller Retained Licensed Intellectual Property by the Company Group prior to the Closing and reasonable extensions thereof.

(b) Effective upon (and subject to the occurrence of) the Closing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Seller and its Affiliates a nonexclusive, fully paid, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable worldwide, royalty free license to use the Company Owned Intellectual Property solely in or in connection with the operation of Seller’s business (including producing, selling, marketing, using, importing and otherwise providing any products or services of Seller’s business, but excluding the Business) or natural evolutions thereof, and in a manner materially consistent with the use of such Company Owned Intellectual Property by Seller and its Affiliates prior to the Closing and reasonable extensions thereof.

(c) (i) All rights and licenses granted under Section 7.12(a) and Section 7.12(b) are, and shall be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses to rights to “intellectual property” as defined under the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) all Intellectual Property licensed under Section 7.12(a) and Section 7.12(b) and all embodiments thereof are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of same “embodiment(s)” of “intellectual property”, and (iii) the rights, elections and obligations of the applicable licensee provided under Section 365(n) (or any other provision) of the Bankruptcy Code apply to all licenses granted under Section 7.12(a) and Section 7.12(b). Each Party acknowledges that if it, as a debtor in possession or a trustee in bankruptcy in a case under the Bankruptcy Code (“Debtor Party”), rejects this Agreement, then the other Party (“Non-Debtor Party”) may elect to retain its rights under Section 7.12(a) or Section 7.12(b), as applicable, as provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding by or against the Debtor Party under the Bankruptcy Code, the Non-Debtor Party shall be entitled to retain all such rights under Section 7.12(a) or Section 7.12(b), as applicable. Parties agree and acknowledge that enforcement by the Debtor Party of any rights under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code in connection with Section 7.12(a) or Section 7.12(b), as applicable, shall not violate the automatic stay of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and waives any right to object on such

basis. Upon rejection of this Agreement by the Debtor Party or its bankruptcy trustee in a bankruptcy case under the Bankruptcy Code, and written request of the Non-Debtor Party to the Debtor Party or its bankruptcy trustee pursuant to Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code the Debtor Party or such bankruptcy trustee shall (x) provide the Non-Debtor Party a complete duplicate of or complete access to (as the Non-Debtor Party deems appropriate) the Intellectual Property, embodiments thereof and materials that are the subject of the rights and license granted pursuant to Section 7.12(a) or Section 7.12(b), as applicable, or any agreement supplementary to Section 7.12(a) or Section 7.12(b), as applicable, held by the Debtor Party or such bankruptcy trustee, and (y) not interfere with the rights of the Non-Debtor Party provided in Section 7.12(a) or Section 7.12(b), as applicable, and any other agreement supplementary to Section 7.12(a) or Section 7.12(b), as applicable, to the Intellectual Property and materials that are the subject of the rights and licenses provided under such agreements, including any right to obtain the Intellectual Property and materials that are subject of such rights and licenses from any relevant party.

(d) Seller and Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its and their Affiliates, acknowledge and agree that any assignment or transfer by of, or license under the Seller Retained Licensed Intellectual Property or Company Intellectual Property (respectively, whether by Contract or operation of applicable Law) shall be subject to the rights and obligations set forth in this Section 7.12.

Article IX

TERMINATION

Section 9.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned at any time prior to the Closing by:

(a) the mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;

(b) Purchaser, upon written notice to Seller, if there has been a breach by Seller or the Company of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of such Party set forth herein, which breach would result in the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.01 to be satisfied and which breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, has not been cured prior to the earlier of (x) thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by Seller of written notice of such breach from Purchaser and (y) the Outside Date; provided, that such right of termination shall not be available at any time that Purchaser is in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth herein, which would result in the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.02 to be satisfied;

(c) Seller, upon written notice to Purchaser, if there has been a breach by Purchaser of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of Purchaser set forth herein, which breach would result in the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.02 to be satisfied and which breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, has not been cured prior to the earlier of (x) thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by Purchaser of written notice of such breach from Seller and (y) the Outside Date; provided, that such right of termination shall not be available at any time that Seller is in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth herein, which breach would result in the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.01 to be satisfied;

(d) Seller or Purchaser, upon written notice to the other Party, if the Closing does not occur on or prior to November 26, 2023 (such date, as may be extended, the “Outside Date”); provided, that if, as of such date, the conditions set

forth in (i) Section 8.01(d) and Section 8.02(c) or (ii) Section 8.01(c) and Section 8.02(b) in connection with Section 8.01(d) and Section 8.02(c), respectively, have not been satisfied as of the Outside Date, then either Seller or Purchaser may elect by delivering written notice to the other Party at or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 26, 2023, to extend the Outside Date to January 26, 2024; provided, however, that such right of termination shall not be available to Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, (A) at any time that such Party is in material breach of any of its covenants or obligations set forth in Section 7.01(b) or (B) if the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to the Outside Date (as it may be extended) was primarily due to the material breach by such Party of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement; or

(e) Seller or Purchaser, upon written notice to the other Party, if any applicable Law or Injunction issued, enacted, promulgated or adopted, as applicable, by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Acquisition shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable, if applicable; provided, that such right of termination shall not be available to Seller or Purchaser if the issuance of any such Injunction was primarily due to the material breach by such Party of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement.

Article X

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

Section 10.01 Continuation of Employment. Each Business Employee who is employed by the Company Group immediately prior to the Closing shall continue employment with the Company Group immediately following the Closing. Each

Business Employee who continues employment with or becomes employed by Purchaser or its Affiliates following the Closing shall be a “Transferred Employee”. Solely for the purposes of this Article X, “Affiliates” of Purchaser shall include, for the period following the Closing, the Company Group. Prior to the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates shall take all actions necessary to transfer the employment of each LTD Employee and each employee of the members of the Company Group who is not a Business Employee, in each case, to Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than any member of the Company Group). Prior to the Closing Date, except with respect to the Specified Employees (as defined below), Seller and its Affiliates shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to cause each Business Employee employed by Seller or its Affiliates (other than any member of the Company Group) to be transferred to a member of the Company Group; provided that it is certain that payroll, HRIS and benefit coverage will be available for the benefit of each such Business Employee immediately following the Closing (to be provided by Seller or its Affiliates, Purchaser or its Affiliates, members of the Company Group or through professional employer organizations or any combination thereof). The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith and, prior to the Closing, enter into, execute and deliver a mutually acceptable employee transfer agreement (the “Employee Transfer Agreement”) that addresses the employment and transfer of (i) the Business Employees primarily performing services in the jurisdictions outside the United States (the “Specified Employees”) and (ii) Liabilities relating to such Specified Employees’ employment (including accrued compensation, vacation, and bonuses) to Purchaser or its Affiliates, and except as required by applicable Law, the allocation of such liabilities to be on a basis consistent with the Assumed Liabilities for which Purchaser or its Affiliates would have been liable under this Agreement.

Section 10.02 Continuation of Compensation and Benefits. For the twelve (12)-month period following the Closing Date (or for such longer period as required by applicable Law) (the “Continuation Period”), Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, provide to each Transferred Employee (a) a base salary or base wage rate (as applicable) and annual target incentive or bonus opportunities that are no less favorable than the base salary or base wage rate and annual target incentive or bonus opportunities in effect immediately prior to the Closing, and (b) other employee benefits (excluding equity-based compensation, defined benefit pension plans, retiree health and welfare plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those in effect for such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, that the Parties agree that no breach of Purchaser’s obligations under Section 10.02(b) with respect to 401(k) plan participation (or employer matching contributions thereunder) would be deemed to occur during any post-Closing delay in implementing the replacement 401(k) Plan as described in Section 10.09. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Article X, the compensation, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment for the Transferred Employees who are covered by a Union Contract (such Transferred Employees, the “Union Employees”) shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Union Contract. Effective as of the Closing Date or, with respect to Transferred Employees who continue to participate under Seller Benefit Plans under the Transition Services Agreement, the applicable HR TSA End Date (or, if later, the applicable Transfer Date), each Transferred Employee (and their eligible spouses and dependents) shall cease to participate in each Seller Benefit Plan (other than each Assumed Benefit Plan) and the Company Group shall terminate its participation in each Seller Benefit Plan (other than each Assumed Benefit Plan). If any LTD Employee presents himself or herself for active employment with Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates within the six (6)-month period following the Closing Date (or such longer period required by applicable Law or any Union Contract, as applicable), then Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall deliver a written offer of employment consistent with the applicable requirements of this Article X as soon as reasonably practicable following such date and such LTD Employee shall be a “Transferred Employee” as of the applicable Transfer Date. The Company Group will retain sponsorship of each Company Benefit Plan.

Section 10.03 Severance Obligations. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to each Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates during the Continuation Period, severance and termination benefits in an amount equal to the severance and termination benefits that would have been provided to such Transferred Employee under the applicable Benefit Plan or Union Contract as in effect immediately prior to the Closing; provided that, except as set forth in Section 10.03 of the Disclosure Schedule, for each Transferred Employee such amount shall not

exceed the aggregate value of twelve months’ annual base salary, annual target incentive or bonus opportunities and employer subsidies of welfare benefit continuation for such Transferred Employee.

Section 10.04 US Benefit Plan and COBRA Obligations.

(a) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, have in effect a group health plan or plans for each Transferred Employee primarily performing services in the United States (and his or her eligible spouse and dependents) effective immediately following the HR TSA End Date in compliance with Section 10.02 or Section 10.08, as applicable. Seller and its Affiliates (other than any member of the Company Group) shall have no obligation under Sections 6055 and 6056 of the Code with respect to any obligation of the Company Group, or any offers of coverage made to the Transferred Employees, for any period of time as of or following the HR TSA End Date.

The amount of such payment shall be equal to (i) for the performance period beginning on January 1, 2023 and ending on June 30, 2023 (the “First Performance Period”), the bonus amount earned determined based upon achievement based on actual performance over the applicable First Performance Period plus (ii) for the performance period beginning on July 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2023 (the “Second Performance Period”), an amount equal to the applicable pro-rata bonus for such Business Employee (determined based on the number of calendar days elapsed during the period beginning on July 1, 2023 and ending on the Closing Date (or, if later, the applicable Transfer Date)) divided by the total number of calendar days from July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 (such applicable period, the “MIP Performance Period”) and, in the case of any performance goals applicable to the Second Performance Period, the level of achievement of such performance goals shall be determined, at Seller’s discretion (following consultation with Purchaser), based on either (i) target performance or (ii) actual performance over the applicable MIP Performance Period determined in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable Affiliate to, assume all Liabilities for, and to make any and all accrued payments required to be made with respect to, the MIP Bonus that becomes payable to any Transferred Employee under the Management Incentive Plan for the portion of the 2023 calendar year that occurs from and after the applicable MIP Performance Period.

(b) Purchaser shall or shall cause the applicable Affiliate to assume all Liabilities for, and to make any and all accrued payments required to be made with respect to, compensation payable to any Transferred Employee (whether relating to periods before or after the Closing Date (or, if later, the applicable Transfer Date)) under any Benefit Plan that is a variable pay, bonus, cash performance or incentive plan and that is set forth on Section 10.07 of the Disclosure Schedule (excluding Seller’s Management Incentive Plan) (the “Cash Bonuses”), including compensation that is accrued and payable with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, the applicable Transfer Date); provided that, if as of the Closing Date (or, if later, the applicable Transfer Date), any Transferred Employee has an earned and unpaid Cash Bonus in respect of fiscal year 2023 and the normal payment date for such Cash Bonus occurs prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, the applicable Transfer Date), Seller shall pay or cause to be paid such Cash Bonus based upon actual performance for the performance period at the time such payments are made in the ordinary course of business to similarly situated employees of Seller and its Affiliates (including any member of the Company Group).

commitments arising under the Union Contracts, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates with respect to the Union Contracts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X, from and after the Closing Date (or, if later, the applicable Transfer Date), any Union Employee shall continue to be governed by the applicable Union Contract covering such employee until such Union Contract expires, terminates or is modified in accordance with its terms and applicable Law. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller or one if its Affiliates shall take reasonably necessary actions to cause the Union Contract between JBT Corporation and Eastern Millwright Regional Council, Millwright Local Union No. 219 to be transferred and assigned to a member of the Company Group.

(b) Following the HR TSA End Date (or, if later, the applicable Transfer Date), any employee benefit that is required pursuant to any Union Contract, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) employee benefits under any Multiemployer Plans and (ii) any obligation to provide early retirement subsidies as contemplated by Section 10.11 of this Agreement, shall instead be provided pursuant to an employee benefit plan maintained by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, subject to the results of any “effects” bargaining obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Closing Date Seller may, following consultation with Purchaser, elect to terminate the Seller NQDC Plans with respect to all Business Employees and distribute all account balances thereunder in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code and, in the event of such termination: (x) Seller will provide a written notice to Purchaser of such election at least five days prior to the Closing Date, (y) Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) shall assume or retain (and Purchaser shall not assume or retain) any

Purchaser shall, and shall require any immediate successor to (a) notify or cause the applicable member of the Company Group to notify Seller of the “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) from the applicable member of the Company Group of each Transferred Employee who is a participant in a Seller SERP within twenty (20) Business Days of such separation and (b) provide such information as may be reasonably requested by Seller to facilitate administration, tax withholding and reporting by the administrator of the Seller SERP.

Section 10.11 Qualified Defined Benefit Pension Plans. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, with respect to each defined benefit pension plan subject to Title IV of ERISA and that is sponsored and maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than any member of the Company Group), Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than any member of the Company Group) shall retain all assets and Liabilities under such defined benefit pension plans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to provide early retirement subsidies to eligible Union Employees as required by the applicable Union Contracts as described in the last sentence of this paragraph) and shall make payments to and treat Business Employees with rights thereunder in accordance with the terms of such plan and applicable Law. Purchaser shall, and shall require any immediate successor to notify or cause the applicable member of the Company Group to notify Seller of the occurrence of the “Severance from Service Date” (as defined as of the date hereof in the Xxxx Xxxx Technologies Corporation Employees’ Retirement Program) from the applicable member of the Company Group of each applicable Transferred Employee within twenty (20) Business Days of such date. With respect to each Business Employee represented by United Steel Workers Local 6162 who had accrued benefits under the Xxxx Xxxx Technologies Corporation Employees’ Retirement Program as of the Closing Date, Seller shall recognize, solely for Business Employees who have not met the eligibility requirements for early retirement subsidies under such plan as of the Closing Date, such Business Employee’s service with Purchaser and its Affiliates between the Closing Date and such Business Employee’s Severance from Service Date from the applicable member of the Company Group for purposes of determining such Business Employee’s eligibility for early retirement subsidies under the Xxxx Xxxx Technologies Corporation Employees’ Retirement Program upon such employee’s retirement from active status with the Purchaser and its Affiliates as if such retirement occurred with Seller and its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, Business Employees represented by United Steel Workers Local 6162 who have met the eligibility requirements for an early retirement benefit under the Xxxx Xxxx Technologies Corporation Employees’ Retirement Program as of the Closing Date shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the Xxxx Xxxx Technologies Corporation Employees’ Retirement Program (including for the purposes of eligibility for early retirement subsidies upon retirement from active status from the Purchaser and its Affiliates as if such retirement occurred with Seller and its Affiliates).

Section 10.12 Equity Replacement Awards. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall take all necessary actions, with respect to each restricted stock unit, performance-based restricted stock unit or other outstanding equity-based award that is held by a Transferred Employee (a “Transferred Employee Equity Award”) such that (a) a pro rata portion of each such Transferred Employee Equity Award shall vest as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (such pro rata portion determined based on the number of calendar days elapsed during the period beginning on the later of (i) the applicable Transferred Employee Equity Award grant date and (ii) the most recent vesting date to elapse (if any) and ending on the Closing Date divided by the total number of calendar days from the applicable grant date through the final vesting date (such applicable period, the “Vesting Period”)) and, in the case of any awards subject to performance goals, the level of achievement of such performance goals determined based on actual performance over the applicable Vesting Period in good faith by Seller in its reasonable discretion and consistent with past practice and (b) any remaining portion of each Transferred Employee Equity Award that does not vest at such time in accordance with clause (a) shall be forfeited (such forfeited portions, the “Forfeited Equity Awards”). As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, grant each applicable Transferred Employee incentive awards (which may be in the form of cash, equity or a combination thereof) with a value (determined by Purchaser in good faith consistent with past practice) equal to the value of the Forfeited Equity Awards held by such Transferred Employee, with such forfeited value determined as set forth in the following sentence and

with other terms and conditions determined by Purchaser, in each case, in good faith consistent with past practice under Purchaser’s incentive plans. For purposes of determining the value of the Forfeited Equity Awards, the value of a share of Seller’s common stock underlying each restricted stock unit shall be equal to the Seller Trading Price (for purposes of any performance-based vesting criteria, assuming achievement at target level). Seller shall provide Purchaser with a schedule of each Forfeited Equity Award held by the Transferred Employees (on a holder-by-holder basis) as of the Closing Date, including the type of award, the number of shares of Seller common stock subject thereto, the grant date, expiration date, the number of units vested and unvested and the vesting schedule.

Section 10.14 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of the Parties and nothing in this Article X, express or implied, shall confer upon any Business Employee, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof, any rights or remedies, including any third-party beneficiary right or any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Article X to the contrary, the terms of this Article X are not intended to, and shall not, constitute an amendment or modification to any Benefit Plan or other compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement.

Article XI

NO SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 11.01 No Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company, Seller and Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing; provided, that such termination shall not release any Party from liability for Fraud. The covenants of the Company, Seller and Purchaser set forth herein that do not contemplate performance after the Closing shall terminate at the Closing (provided that if any claim is asserted prior to Closing with respect to a breach of such a covenant, such claim shall survive until resolved). The covenants of the Company, Seller and Purchaser set forth herein that contemplate performance after the Closing shall survive the Closing to the extent provided in their respective terms (or, if no term is specified, until fully performed). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the R&W Insurance Policy is intended to be a Contract between Purchaser and the R&W Insurer separate and apart from this Agreement. As such, none of the limitations or exceptions set forth in this Section 11.01 shall in any way limit, affect, restrict, modify or impair the ability of Purchaser to make claims under or recover under the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 11.02 Indemnification by Seller.

(a) Subject to the terms set forth in this Article XI, from and after the Closing, Seller shall pay, defend, discharge and indemnify each of Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, “Purchaser Indemnitees”) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee (i) to the extent arising or resulting from or in connection with any of the Retained Liabilities (excluding Losses relating to Taxes other than Losses related to the Taxes set forth on Schedule A-7(1) of the Disclosure Schedule), (ii) to the extent specifically attributable to a final settlement or other resolution of the Covered Tax Matter or (iii) to the extent arising or resulting from or in connection with any liability, violation or Proceeding relating to any Environmental Law, Environmental Permit or Hazardous Materials (including any Release or presence of Hazardous Materials and any removal or closure of any underground storage tank or related piping containing Hazardous Materials) associated with the Xxxxxx Property.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 11.02(a), the indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 11.02(a) are subject to the following limitations.

(i) Seller shall not be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees in respect of any Losses for which indemnity is claimed under Section 11.02(a)(ii) to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $960,910.74 (the “Current Amount”) plus the amount of any incremental penalties and interest not currently reflected in the Current Amount and incurred in connection with a final settlement of the Covered Tax Matter.

(ii) Seller shall not be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees in respect of any Losses for which indemnity is claimed (x) under Section 11.02(a)(ii) to the extent that notice of such Losses is delivered after the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date or (y) under Section 11.02(a)(iii) to the extent notice of such Losses is delivered after the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date (provided that this Section 11.02(b)(ii)(y) shall not apply to any indemnity claim arising or resulting from or in connection with any third-party claim for indemnification received at any time by any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to the terms of the relevant sale agreement by which such third party acquired the Xxxxxx Property if such sale agreement was entered into on or prior to the Closing Date).

(iii) To the extent the aggregate amount of Losses for which an indemnity is claimed under Section 11.02(a)(iii) exceeds $2,000,000, Seller shall not be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees in respect of such excess amounts.

(c) Prior to the earlier of the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date and the closing of the sale of the Xxxxxx Property to an unaffiliated third party, neither Purchaser nor any of its subsidiaries shall take any of the actions set forth on Section 11.02(c) of the Disclosure Schedules.

Section 11.03 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the terms set forth in this Article XI, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall pay, defend, discharge and indemnify each of Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee (other than Losses relating to Taxes) to the extent arising or resulting from or in connection with any of the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 11.04 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Claims. In the event any Person (the “Indemnified Party”) should have a claim against Seller or Purchaser (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”) under Section 11.02 or Section 11.03, respectively (a “Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver written notice of such claim (describing such claim in reasonable detail based on what is then known by such Person) to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under Section 11.02 or Section 11.03, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure or as set forth in Section 11.02(b)(ii).

(b) Assumption. If a Claim is made against an Indemnified Party in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made or Proceeding brought by any third Person (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11.04. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect in writing to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 11.04(a)). If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all

the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to testify and provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and which releases the Indemnified Party completely without liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim on a basis that would result in (i) injunctive or other nonmonetary relief against the Indemnified Party, including the imposition of an Injunction that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or (ii) a finding or admission of fault or misconduct by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.04 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be permitted to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if the Third Party Claim seeks imposition of (1) criminal penalties against the Indemnified Party, (2) an Injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party (other than an Injunction or equitable relief that is incidental and de minimis to monetary damages as the primary relief sought) or (3) the Indemnifying Party is also party to the Third Party Claim, and in the opinion of the Indemnified Party’s outside counsel, a conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party (or there are defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are unavailable to the Indemnifying Party).

(c) Covered Tax Matter. Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.04(b) or in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Seller shall control (including any disposition thereof) any audit or other action, examination or notice of deficiency or other adjustment, assessment or redetermination with respect to the Covered Tax Matter (the “Seller Tax Contest”), (ii) Seller shall not be liable to any Purchaser Indemnitee for any legal expenses incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee in connection with any Seller Tax Contest, (iii) Purchaser shall have the right (at its sole expense) to participate in any Seller Tax Contest, including to review in advance and reasonably comment upon submissions made in the course of such Seller Tax Contest, and (iv) Seller shall not settle, compromise, or otherwise resolve any Seller Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

Section 11.05 Calculation of Losses; Mitigation.

(a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article XI shall be net of (x) any amounts actually received by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss and (y) the amount of any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party as a result of incurring the Loss at issue in the taxable year in which such Loss is incurred or paid.

(b) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI with respect to any Loss to the extent that such Loss was reflected in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.04.

(c) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover for the same Loss more than once under this Article XI or otherwise under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or provided under applicable Law, Losses shall not include Losses that are in the nature of (i) diminution in value, exemplary or punitive damages, regardless of the form of action through which they are sought, or (ii) damages calculated on multiplies of earnings or other similar metric approaches, in each case, except to the extent any such Losses are awarded and paid by an Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Claim.

(d) Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one Party is obligated to indemnify the other Party or a Seller Indemnitee or Purchaser Indemnitee hereunder, including by using reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith to (i) resolve any such claim or liability and (ii) mitigate to the extent required by Law any Loss for which indemnification is sought under this

Agreement; provided, however, that the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of such mitigation shall constitute Losses for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 11.06 Tax Treatment of Indemnification. For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, any indemnity payment made under this Article XI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 11.07 Certain Waivers. Each of Purchaser and Seller, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members, managers, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns, intends to and acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, including by contractually shortening the applicable statute of limitations, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against such other Party, its respective Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members, managers, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns relating to the operation of the Company Group or the Business prior to the Closing, whether arising under, or based upon, any Law (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law or CERCLA or any other Environmental Law) are hereby irrevocably waived; provided that nothing contained herein shall release, waive or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any Person (i) under any Other Transaction Documents or the Confidentiality Agreement, (ii) with respect to any provision herein that survives the Closing (including any rights to indemnification under this Article XI) or (iii) for claims of or causes of action arising from Fraud. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 11.07 and the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.09 are an integral part of the Transactions and the inducement of the Parties to consummate the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.07 shall in any way impair (A) the rights and obligations of Purchaser and Seller to resolve disputes with respect to the Statement and the calculation of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.04 or (B) the rights and obligations of Purchaser and the R&W Insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(c) Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an Injunction or Injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that such other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an Injunction or Injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 12.11 shall not be required to post any bond or other security in connection with any such Injunction or Injunctions.

and its Affiliates (which will no longer include the members of the Company Group) after the Closing, each of Purchaser and the Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP representing Seller and/or its Affiliates after the Closing, in each case, in connection with any dispute, Proceeding or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions.

Further, the Company shall not have access to any Protected Information, or to the files of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP relating to its engagement, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (a) Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Company) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege, any attorney work product or any similar protections with respect to such engagement, and the Company shall not be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Company) shall hold such property rights and (c) Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP and the Company or otherwise.
