ARTICLE VII

ACTION PRIOR TO THE CLOSING DATE

The respective parties hereto covenant and agree to take the following actions between the date hereof and the Closing Date:

Section 7.1. Access to Information. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall afford to the officers, employees and authorized representatives of Buyer and Parent (including independent public accountants and attorneys) reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to the offices, properties, employees and business and financial records (including computer files, retrieval programs and similar documentation) of the Business to the extent Buyer or Parent shall reasonably deem necessary and shall furnish to Buyer and Parent or their respective authorized representatives such additional information concerning the Business as shall be reasonably requested; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to violate any Requirement of Law, Court Order or obligation of confidentiality to which Seller, any of its Affiliates or the Companies is subject or to waive any privilege which any of them may possess in discharging their obligations pursuant to this Section 7.1; provided, further, that Seller, its Affiliates and the Companies shall not be required to furnish or otherwise make available to Buyer (i) competitively sensitive information relating to areas of the Company’s business in which Buyer or its Affiliates directly or indirectly compete against the Business or (ii) Tax Returns or other Tax records or information relating to any Consolidated Tax Group; and provided, further, Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, contact or communicate with any vendor, customer, employee, independent contractor or other business partner of the Companies with respect to or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such investigation shall be conducted in a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of the Companies or Seller and Buyer shall not undertake any invasive or intrusive environmental testing without Seller’s prior consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of Seller pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be subject to the right of Seller to determine, in its discretion, the appropriate timing of the disclosure of information it deems proprietary commercial information or privileged information. The parties shall act at all times in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 7.2. Notifications. From the date hereof to the Closing Date, each of Buyer and Seller shall promptly notify the other of any action, suit or proceeding of which they are aware that shall be instituted or threatened against such party to restrain, prohibit or otherwise challenge the legality of any Contemplated Transaction. Prior to Closing, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other of any lawsuit, claim, proceeding or investigation that may be threatened, brought, asserted or commenced against the Companies, Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, that would have been listed in Schedule 5.12 or Schedule 6.3, as the case may be, if such lawsuit, claim, proceeding or investigation had arisen prior to the date hereof. If a party fails to notify the other party under this Section 7.2, a failure to comply with this Section 7.2 shall not cause the failure of any condition set forth in Article IX or X to be satisfied unless the underlying change, event or development would independently result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article IX or X to be satisfied.

Section 7.3. Consents of Third Parties; Governmental Approvals; Shared Contracts.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to secure, as promptly as practicable, the consent, approval or waiver required to be obtained from any party to any Transferred Contract or other Business Agreement to consummate the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.3, such action shall not include any requirement of Seller or Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates (including the Companies) to expend money (other than customary legal advisor costs), commence or participate in any Proceeding or offer or grant any accommodation or concession (financial or otherwise) to any third party.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall act diligently and reasonably, and Seller, upon the request of Buyer, shall act diligently and reasonably in cooperating with Buyer, in attempting to secure any consents and approvals of any Governmental Body required to be obtained by Buyer in order to permit the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

(c) Parent, Buyer and Seller shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) file not more than ten business days after the date hereof with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) the notifications and other information required to be filed under the HSR Act. Each of Parent, Buyer and Seller agrees to file (and to cause its Affiliates to file) any additional information requested by such Governmental Bodies under the HSR Act or any other competition Laws as promptly as practicable after receipt of such request. Each of Parent and Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall furnish to the other party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other party may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act or other competition Law, as the case may be. Each of Seller, on the one hand, and Parent and Buyer, on the other hand, shall use reasonable best efforts to comply promptly with any inquiries or requests for additional information from the FTC and the DOJ. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in

this Agreement (including the following sentence), prior to Closing, each of the parties agrees to (and to cause its Affiliates to) use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable, consistent with this Section 7.3, to consummate, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Contemplated Transactions. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of Parent and Buyer agrees to (and to cause its Affiliates to) use reasonable best efforts to take any and all actions necessary to obtain all consents and approvals of any antitrust Governmental Bodies, including but not limited to: (i) causing the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and obtaining all other necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents and approvals from all Governmental Bodies and making all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Bodies) and taking all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Body, (ii) defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements or any of the Contemplated Transactions, including opposing any motion or action for a temporary, preliminary or permanent injunction against the Contemplated Transactions and seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered into by any court or other Governmental Body vacated or reversed, and (iii) promptly taking all steps and making all undertakings to secure antitrust clearance; provided, however, that the foregoing covenants do not require Parent or Buyer to propose, negotiate, offer to commit to enter into or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, sell, offer to sell or otherwise dispose of, properties of Parent, Buyer, their respective Affiliates and/or the Companies or hold separate such properties pending such sale or other disposition. Prior to Closing, each of the parties agrees to (and to cause its Affiliates to) keep the other party informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, any Governmental Body and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party relating to the Contemplated Transactions, in each case regarding any of the Contemplated Transactions. Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, prior to Closing, each of the parties shall permit the other party to review in advance any material communication delivered to, and to the extent practicable consult with the other party in advance of any substantive meeting or discussion with, any Governmental Body relating to the Contemplated Transactions or in connection with any proceeding by a private party, and give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and discussions (to the extent practicable and permitted by such Governmental Body or private party). No party to this Agreement shall consent to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby at the behest of any Governmental Body without the consent of the other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the parties shall mutually agree to the strategy, manner and process relating to seeking the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, including, if applicable, to pull and refile thereunder or to extend the period for any action.

(d) Buyer acknowledges that certain consents (including consents contingent on the fulfillment of certain conditions), approvals, waivers, agreement, or actions of, or (with or without lapse of time) notice to, third parties relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required under instruments, contracts, commitments, agreements or arrangements (the “Applicable Consents”), which Applicable Consents may have not been obtained or are themselves subject to conditions not fulfilled as of the Closing. Other than (if

applicable) with respect to claims for indemnification under Section 12.2(a)(i) in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 5.3(b)(i)(A)(2) or Section 5.20(a)(ii), Seller shall not have any liability whatsoever to Buyer arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any Applicable Consents except to use efforts as herein provided. Subject to Section 7.3(i), if an Applicable Consent is not obtained in respect of a Seller Licensed Subsidiary Contract prior to the expiration of the applicable term of the Transition Services Agreement, such Contract shall nevertheless be assigned to one of the Companies in accordance with this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement, and the Companies and Buyer shall be responsible for all liabilities and obligations relating to or arising out of such Seller Licensed Subsidiary Contract (including any breaches thereof) and shall indemnify Seller and its Subsidiaries from any losses relating thereto.

(e) The parties acknowledge that the Seller Licensed Subsidiary and/or the Companies are parties to certain Seller Licensed Subsidiary Contracts. Prior to Closing, the Parties shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to with respect to the Seller Licensed Subsidiary Contracts set forth on applicable subsections of Schedule 7.3(e)(i), (1) obtain the consent of such Xxxxxx to remove the Seller Licensed Subsidiary as a party to such Contract, (2) assign the rights and obligations of the Seller Licensed Subsidiary under such Contract effective as of the Closing to the Buyer Licensed Subsidiary and obtain the consent of such Xxxxxx to such assignment, or (3) assign the rights and obligations of the Seller Licensed Subsidiary under such Contract in respect of retail money transfer services to the Buyer Licensed Subsidiary effective as of the Closing and obtain the agreement of the applicable Xxxxxx that is the counterparty to such Contract to enter into a new contract effective as of the Closing Date pursuant to which the Seller Licensed Subsidiary will receive substantially the same goods and services provided by such Contract to the Seller Licensed Subsidiary prior to the Closing in respect of the walk-in services contemplated thereby and to remove such walk-in services from such Seller Licensed Subsidiary Contract.

(f) The parties acknowledge that the Companies are parties to certain Xxxxxx Contracts (other than the Contracts set forth on Schedule 7.3(e)) pursuant to which (A) the Companies provide services in respect of the Business and (B) Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Companies), provide services relating to the businesses of Seller other than the Business (the “Joint Service Contracts”). Prior to the Closing, the parties shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the agreement of the Xxxxxx that is the counterparty to each Joint Service Contract to enter into (1) a new replacement contract effective as of the Closing Date or as soon thereafter as practicable pursuant to which the Companies will provide the services to such Xxxxxx that the Companies provided under the applicable Joint Service Contract and (2) a new replacement contract effective as of the Closing Date pursuant to which Seller or its applicable Subsidiary will provide the services to such Xxxxxx that Seller or its applicable Subsidiary (other than the Companies) provided to such Xxxxxx under the Joint Service Contract.

(g) The parties acknowledge that the Companies are parties to certain Contracts that relate to the operations or conduct of the business of Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Companies) and the Business, but will remain with Seller or its Affiliates (excluding the Companies) after the Closing. In the case of those contracts set forth on Schedule 7.3(e)(ii) (the “Shared Contracts”), prior to Closing, the parties shall cooperate with

each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to (A) obtain the agreement of the third party that is the counterparty to each Shared Contract to enter into a new contract effective as of the Closing Date pursuant to which the Companies will receive substantially the same goods and services provided by the Shared Contract to the Companies, or Seller or its Subsidiaries in respect of the Business, prior to the Closing (each, a “Replacement Shared Contract”) and, where applicable, to cause the applicable counterparty to release the Seller and its applicable Affiliates (excluding, prior to Closing, the Companies) from any applicable minimum quantity or other commitments to the extent such commitments become the obligation of the Companies under the Replacement Shared Contract and (B) to the extent either of the Companies is a party to a Shared Contract, cause the applicable counterparty to release the applicable Company from obligations arising after the Closing Date under the Shared Contract effective as of the Closing Date.

(h) If one or more Replacement Shared Contracts are not entered into prior to or on the Closing Date, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, during the remaining term of the applicable Shared Contract, the parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to allow the Companies to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law to receive substantially the same goods and services of the subject matter of the Shared Contract received prior to the Closing and the economic and other burdens of such Shared Contract; provided, however, that the Buyer shall reimburse the Seller for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any such arrangement and, subject to the requirements of the Transition Services Agreement, the Seller shall have no obligation to engage in the Business following the Closing. Nothing in Section 7.3(e), 7.3(f), 7.3(g) or 7.3(h) shall require Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Companies) to expend money (other than customary legal advisor costs), commence or participate in any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation or concession (financial or otherwise) to any third party.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, none of the transactions contemplated by Section 7.3(e) shall occur until the applicable Xxxxxx is an Eligible Xxxxxx. In the event that any Xxxxxx does not become an Eligible Xxxxxx prior to the expiration of the applicable service under the Transition Services Agreement, Seller and its Affiliates shall be permitted to terminate such Xxxxxx Contract and the obligations of Seller and its Affiliates in respect of such Xxxxxx Contract in this Section 7.3 shall terminate. Buyer will be responsible for any liability to a Xxxxxx arising from a claim that such termination was a breach of the Xxxxxx Contract.

(j) Seller and the Buyer will each designate a qualified employee to serve as its principal representative to coordinate and facilitate the transactions contemplated by Section 7.3(e), 7.3(f), 7.3(g) and 7.3(h). Such employees designated will be granted sufficient authority to resolve on behalf of Seller and the Buyer all questions and problems arising with respect to the transactions contemplated by Section 7.3(e), 7.3(f), 7.3(g) and 7.3(h). From the date hereof until further written notice to the other party, unless changed by the relevant Party by notice given in accordance with this Agreement the representative of Seller shall be Xxxx Xxxxx, and the representative of the Buyer shall be Xxx Xxxxxxx. Such representatives shall discuss any issues regarding the transactions contemplated by Section 7.3(e), 7.3(f), 7.3(g) and 7.3(h) at least twice per week during the first four weeks following the date hereof and weekly thereafter. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, all communications relating to this Agreement will be made in accordance with Section 13.3. In the event that such representatives are not able

to resolve any issues or disputes that may arise in connection with the transactions contemplated by Section 7.3(e), 7.3(f), 7.3(g) and 7.3(h), the applicable issues shall be escalated to Xxxxxx Xxxxx, on behalf of Buyer, and Xxxxx Xxx, on behalf of Seller, or other senior management team members mutually agreed by the parties, who shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such issues or disputes.

(k) From the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, none of Seller, Buyer, nor any of their respective Affiliates, will enter into any agreement or effect a transaction that would reasonably be expected to delay obtaining any antitrust approvals with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(l) Subject to the services to be provided by Seller and its Affiliates pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, and cause its Affiliates to take, any and all actions necessary to ensure that from and after Closing Buyer and its Affiliates have any and all money transfer licenses and similar permits necessary to operate the Business from and after Closing.

(m) Seller and Buyer will cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to convert each Xxxxxx of the Business to NextGen Platform as promptly as reasonably practical; provided, however, that (i) this Section 7.3(m) shall not require Seller or its Subsidiaries to expend any funds or make any concessions other than those customarily made by Seller or its Subsidiaries in connection with the NextGen Platform migration and (ii) the obligations in this Section 7.3(m) shall terminate as of the Closing.

(n) Nothing in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(d) through 7.3(h) shall include any requirement of Seller or Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates (including the Companies) to expend money (other than customary legal advisor costs), commence or participate in any Proceeding or offer or grant any concession (financial or otherwise) to any third party.

(o) The parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer’s obligation to obtain the Financing is governed by Sections 7.6 and 7.7 and not this Section 7.3.

Section 7.4. Operations Prior to the Closing Date.

(a) Prior to the Closing, except as set forth on Schedule 7.4, requested by any Governmental Body, required or expressly permitted by this Agreement or Law, or with the express written approval of Buyer (which Buyer agrees shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Companies to operate and carry on the Business in all material respect in the ordinary course and substantially as operated immediately prior to the date of this Agreement and to use their commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the goodwill of the suppliers, contractors, licensors, employees, customers, distributors and others having business relations with the Companies.

Section 7.6. Efforts to Obtain Funding.

(a) Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing as promptly as practical and, in any event, not later than the date the Closing is required to be effected in accordance with Section 4.1, on the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Commitment Letter (including the “flex” provisions of the related fee letter), including using its reasonable best efforts to: (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter and negotiate in good faith and enter into as promptly as practicable definitive agreements (the “Definitive Financing Agreements”) with respect to the Financing (on the terms and subject to the conditions reflected in the Commitment Letter (including the “flex” provisions of the related fee letter), provided that such terms do not contain any conditions to funding that are not set forth in the Commitment

Letter and otherwise would not reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or delay the Closing); (ii) comply on a timely basis with all covenants, and satisfy on a timely basis all conditions, required to be complied with or satisfied by Parent in the Commitment Letter (including the “flex” provisions of the related fee letter) and in such Definitive Financing Agreements; (iii) cause the Financing to be consummated at such time or from time to time as is necessary for Parent to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement; (iv) pay in a timely manner any and all commitment or other fees that become payable by Buyer or Parent under the Commitment Letter on or following the date hereof; and (v) enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Financing Agreements, as applicable. In the event that all conditions to funding contained in the Commitment Letter have been satisfied, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders under the Commitment Letters to fund the Financing on the date the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 4.1 (without giving effect to the first proviso therein). Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, amend, replace, supplement or otherwise modify the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Financing Agreements, as applicable, in any manner (including by way of a side letter or other binding agreement, arrangement or understanding) in a way that would (A) add new, or expand any existing, conditions to the consummation of all or a portion of the Financing, (B) reduce the amount of the Financing, (C) adversely affect the ability of Parent or Buyer to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Financing Agreements, or (D) reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise adversely affect the ability or likelihood of Buyer to timely consummate the Contemplated Transactions or make the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing less likely to occur.

(b) In the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter (including the “flex” provisions of the related fee letter) for any reason or the Commitment Letter shall be terminated or modified in a manner adverse to Seller for any reason, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable, and in any event no later than three business days prior to the date the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 4.1, from the same or alternative financing sources, alternative financing on terms not less favorable (including, for the avoidance of doubt, (1) all conditions precedent and contingencies to funding of such financing being in the aggregate, in respect of certainty of funding, equivalent to (or more favorable to Parent than) the conditions precedent and contingencies set forth in the Commitment Letter (prior to such Alternative Financing) and (2) such substitution not (x) delaying or preventing the Closing, (y) adversely impacting the likelihood of the funding of the Financing or (z) adversely impacting the ability of Parent or Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Financing Agreements or the ability of Parent or Buyer to timely consummate the transactions contemplated hereby) to Parent than the terms of the Financing in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (after taking into consideration the funds otherwise available to Parent), and (ii) the amount of financing that was contemplated by the Commitment Letter on the date hereof. In the event any alternative or substitute financing is obtained by Parent in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.6(b) (the “Alternative Financing”), references herein to the Financing (including, for avoidance of doubt, the references in this Section 7.6, but excluding references in

Section 6.4) shall be deemed to refer to the Alternative Financing, and if a new financing commitment letter is entered into in connection with such Alternative Financing, references herein to the Commitment Letter (including, for avoidance of doubt, the references in this Section 7.6, but excluding the references in Section 6.4) shall be deemed to refer to the new financing commitment letter entered into in connection with the Alternative Financing and any references to the fee letters shall refer to the new fee letters entered into in connection with the Alternative Financing.

(c) Parent and Buyer each acknowledges and agrees that obtaining the Financing is not a condition to its obligations to consummate the Contemplated Transactions.

(d) Buyer shall promptly (i) reimburse Seller for all documented reasonable third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants fees’) incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with their cooperation with Buyer in its efforts to obtain the Financing and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless the Companies and their Affiliates for and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing or any information used in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Seller or any of its Affiliates) and all actions taken by the Companies or their respective Affiliates pursuant to this Section 7.6.

(e) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause the Companies to use their reasonable best efforts to, at Parent’s and Buyer’s sole expense, provide all customary cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with Parent arranging the Financing, including, if requested by Parent, using reasonable best efforts to (i) assist with the preparation of customary offering and syndication documents and materials, including lender and investor presentations, rating agency materials and presentations, and similar documents and materials, in connection with the Financing, (ii) have the Companies designate a member of senior management of the Companies to participate in a reasonable number of presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with ratings agencies in connection with the Financing, including direct contact between such senior management of the Companies and the Financing Sources and potential lenders in the Financing, (iii) assist Parent in obtaining any corporate credit and family ratings from any ratings agencies contemplated by the Commitment Letters, (iv) assist in the preparation of definitive financing documents, including guarantee documents and other certificates and documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent, (v) obtain from the Companies’ existing lenders such consents, approvals, authorizations and instruments which may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the Financing, if applicable and taking corporate actions reasonably requested by Parent to permit the consummation of the Financing provided that they are contingent on the completion of the Financing, (vi) obtain from the Companies’ existing banking lenders customary payoff letters, lien releases, instruments of termination or discharge, if applicable, (vii) provide assistance with respect to the review and grant of any security interests in and/or pledging of collateral for and providing of guarantees supporting the Financing and obtaining any consents associated therewith, (viii) provide Parent with any financial statements of the Companies required to be provided pursuant to this Agreement, and (ix) provide, no later than four business days prior to Closing, all documentation and other information as has been reasonably requested in writing at least 10 business days prior to Closing by the Financing Sources that they reasonable determine is required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the PATRIOT Act.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would unreasonably interfere in any material respect with the business or operations of either of the Companies or their Affiliates or require either of the Companies or their Affiliates to agree to pay any fees, reimburse any expenses, incur any Liability, in each case, that is not indemnified by or subject to reimbursement by the Parent or Buyer, or give any indemnities (other than with respect to customary “representation and authorization letters” in connection with the Offering Documents); (ii) the Companies shall not be required to enter into (or approve) any definitive agreement related to any proposed Financing, (iii) the Companies and their Affiliates shall not be required to take any action that would require any director, officer or employee of any Company or any of their Affiliates to execute, or be required to enter into, or adopt any resolutions approving, any document, agreement, certificate or instrument (provided, that the Companies shall cooperate with the Buyer to appoint Buyer’s designees to the respective boards of directors (or equivalent bodies) of the Companies as of Closing for purposes of approving resolutions, the effectiveness of which is to be conditioned upon the Closing, related to the Financing), (iv) nothing herein shall require either of the Companies or their Affiliates to cause the delivery of legal opinions, reliance letters or certificates; and (v) neither Company or any of their Affiliates shall be required to take any action that conflicts with or violates their respective organizational documents, any applicable Law or Business Agreement or provide in connection with the Financing any information the disclosure of which is prohibited or restricted under Law or is legally privileged.

Section 7.7. Financing Status. Parent shall keep Seller reasonably informed to the extent requested in writing by Seller from time to time with respect to all material activity concerning the status of the Financing, and shall give Seller prompt notice of any event or change that Parent determines shall materially and adversely affect the ability of Parent timely to consummate the Financing. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent agrees to notify Seller as promptly as reasonably practicable, if at any time: (a) the Commitment Letter shall expire or be terminated for any reason, (b) any financing source that is a party to the Commitment Letter notifies Buyer in writing that such source no longer intends to provide financing to Buyer on the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter (including the “flex” provisions of the related fee letter), or (c) a material breach, default, dispute or disagreement occurs or is alleged under the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Financing Agreements.

As promptly as practicable and in any event no later than (i) with respect to the financial statements other than fiscal year 2018, 60 days following the Closing and (ii) with respect to the financial statements for fiscal year 2018, the Closing, Seller shall deliver to the Parent an executed consent of Seller’s independent accounting firm, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parent and suitable for filing by the Parent with the SEC, which consent shall authorize the Parent to file with the SEC the report referred to in this Section 7.8 and all other reports delivered by Seller hereunder.

To the extent any Seller Assets are not transferred or assigned to Seller or one of its Subsidiaries (other than the Companies) prior to the Closing, the parties shall allow Seller, to the extent permitted by Law and to the extent reasonably within the contractual or other ability or control of the parties, to enjoy the economic and other benefits, and to have the economic and other burdens, of such Seller Assets as if they had been transferred to Seller or one of its Subsidiaries (other than the Companies) prior to the Closing.

Section 7.10. Non-Assignable Assets.

(a) No Agreement to Transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not require and no Contract evidencing the Reorganization (a “Reorganization Agreement”) shall constitute an agreement to sell, contribute, dividend, assign, transfer, convey or deliver any (i) Contributed Asset that constitutes a Transferred Contract or a Transferred Permit and any claim or right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if (A) an attempted sale, contribution, dividend, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery thereof (without the consent, approval or waiver of a Third Party), would violate, constitute a default under or breach of such Contributed Asset or would violate any applicable Law or (B) such Contract is with a Xxxxxx who is not an Eligible Xxxxxx (collectively, a “Business Non-Assignable Asset”) or (ii) asset, license, lease, permit or property that constitutes a Seller Asset that is to be transferred from a Company to an Affiliate of Seller as part of the Reorganization and any claim or right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted sale, contribution, dividend, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery thereof (without the consent, approval or waiver of a Third Party) would violate, constitute a default under or breach of such license, lease, permit or property thereunder or would violate any applicable Law (collectively, a “Remainco Non-Assignable Asset” and, together with any Business Non-Assignable Asset, each a “Non-Assignable Asset”), in each case of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii), without first obtaining all such necessary approvals, consents and waivers of such Third Parties or, if applicable, until such Xxxxxx is an Eligible Xxxxxx, and this Agreement and any applicable Reorganization Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a sale, contribution, dividend, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery or attempted contribution, dividend, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery thereof and the applicable provisions of this Section 7.10 shall apply in regard to all such Non-Assignable Assets.

(b) Post-Closing Treatment of Certain Non-Assignable Assets and Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Reorganization Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and Contract, in the event that (i) any applicable approval, consent or waiver to the contribution, dividend, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any Non-Assignable Asset cannot be obtained prior to the Closing or (ii) in the case of any Xxxxxx Contracts, such Xxxxxx is not an Eligible Xxxxxx at the Closing, (A)(1) in the case of any Xxxxxx Contracts, (x) Seller and its Subsidiaries shall provide the services with respect thereto as expressly provided in Section 7.3 or the Transition Services Agreement for the time periods contemplated thereby and (y) the Companies and Buyer shall be responsible for all Liabilities with respect thereto that would be considered Assumed Liabilities if the Xxxxxx Contract had been assigned, including all liabilities arising under such Xxxxxx Contract after the Closing and (2) in the case of all other Business Non-Assignable Assets, the applicable Asset Transferor shall hold, or cause to be held, such Business Non-Assignable Asset, as of and from the Closing, in trust for the applicable Company (and Seller shall cause such applicable Asset Transferor to do so) and the covenants and Liabilities (except for any Excluded Liabilities) thereunder shall be performed by the applicable Company (and Buyer shall cause such applicable Company to do so) in the applicable Asset Transferor’s name and all benefits and Liabilities (except for Excluded Liabilities) existing thereunder shall be for the applicable

Company (in each case solely to the extent they would otherwise be Contributed Assets and Assumed Liabilities and Seller shall cause the Asset Transferors to take, at Buyer’s cost and expense (except to the extent Seller is liable therefor under this Agreement), such commercially reasonable actions in its name or otherwise as Buyer may reasonably request so as to provide the applicable Company with the benefits of the Business Non-Assignable Assets, to effect the collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Business Non-Assignable Assets and to enforce for the benefit of the applicable Company and at the expense of such Company, any and all rights against a Third Party arising under such Business Non-Assignable Asset (“Third Party Rights”), and Seller shall cause the Asset Transferors to promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to such Company all money or other consideration received by the Asset Transferors in respect of all Business Non-Assignable Assets. In the case of a Remainco Non-Assignable Asset, unless otherwise determined by Seller, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or Contract, Buyer shall cause the applicable Company to hold, or cause to be held, such Remainco Non-Assignable Asset, as of and from the Closing, in trust for Seller or its applicable Affiliate and the covenants and Liabilities (except for any Assumed Liabilities) thereunder shall be performed by Seller or its applicable Affiliate (and Seller shall, and shall cause such applicable Affiliate to, do so) in the applicable Company’s name and all benefits and Liabilities (except for any Assumed Liabilities) existing thereunder shall be for Seller or its applicable Affiliate (in each case solely to the extent they would otherwise be Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities). Following the Closing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and Contract, Buyer shall cause the applicable Company to take, at Seller’s cost and expense (except to the extent Buyer is liable therefor under this Agreement), such commercially reasonable actions in its name or otherwise as Seller may reasonably request so as to provide Seller or its applicable Affiliate with the benefits of the Remainco Non-Assignable Assets, to effect the collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Remainco Non-Assignable Assets and to enforce for the benefit of Seller or its applicable Affiliate and at the expense of Seller, any and all rights against a Third Party arising under such Remainco Non-Assignable Asset, and Buyer shall cause the Companies to promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller or such of its Affiliates all money or other consideration received by the Company in respect of all Remainco Non-Assignable Assets, net of any Tax incurred in connection with the receipt of such money (or other consideration) or required to be withheld on payment.

(c) Post-Closing Efforts to Obtain Consents to Assign. Following the Closing, (i) Seller shall, and shall cause the Asset Transferors to, use reasonable best efforts to, with Buyer’s participation and assistance, obtain the necessary approvals, consents and waivers to effect the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of any Business Non-Assignable Asset to the applicable Company (provided, that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to compensate any Third Party (other than any such compensation agreed to be reimbursed by the Buyer), commence or participate in any litigation or offer or grant any concession (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party to obtain any such consent, approval or waiver) and (ii) Buyer shall, and shall cause the applicable Company to, use reasonable best efforts to, with Seller’s participation and assistance, obtain the necessary approvals, consents and waivers to effect the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of any Non-Assignable Asset with respect to a Remainco Non-Assignable Asset to Seller or the applicable Affiliate of Seller (provided, that neither Buyer nor any Buyer Affiliate shall be required to compensate any Third Party (other than any such compensation agreed to be reimbursed by Seller), commence or participate in any litigation, or offer or grant any concession (financial or otherwise) to any Third

Party to obtain any such consent, approval or waiver). If and when such necessary approvals, consents and waivers are obtained after the Closing to effect the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of any Contributed Asset or Remainco Non-Assignable Asset that had constituted a Non-Assignable Asset, such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery shall be effected reasonably promptly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Reorganization, for no additional consideration, after which, such Contributed Asset or Remainco Non-Assignable Asset shall no longer be subject to this Section 7.10 as a Non-Assignable Asset.

Section 7.11. Wrong Pockets.

(a) During the 12-month period following the Closing Date, if Buyer, Parent or Seller discover that any:

(i) Seller Asset, Excluded Asset or settlement funds of Seller or its Affiliates (other than those held by the Seller Licensed Subsidiary reflected in dedicated accounts which have been established in respect of the Business), were directly or indirectly transferred to Buyer (or held by the Companies) at Closing (each, a “Held Asset”), Buyer shall, and shall cause its Buyer Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to (A) promptly assign and transfer all right, title and interest in such Held Asset to Seller or its designated assignee and (B) pending such transfer, (x) hold in trust such Held Asset and provide to Seller or its designated assignee all of the benefits associated with the ownership of the Held Asset and (y) cause such Held Asset to be used or retained as may be reasonably instructed by Seller;

(ii) any Contributed Asset or settlement funds of the (A) Seller Licensed Subsidiary reflected in dedicated accounts which have been established in respect of the Business or (B) the Companies were not transferred to Buyer at Closing (each of (A) and (B), an “Omitted Asset”),Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to use reasonable best efforts to (1) promptly assign and transfer all right, title and interest in such Omitted Asset to Buyer or its designated assignee, and (2) pending such transfer, (x) hold in trust such Omitted Asset and provide to Buyer or its designated assignee all of the benefits associated with the ownership of the Omitted Asset, and (y) cause such Omitted Asset to be used or retained as may be reasonably instructed by Buyer.

(b) Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall (and shall cause their Affiliates, as applicable, to) use reasonable best efforts to, in addition to the other actions set forth in Section 7.11(a)(i) and Section 7.11(a)(ii), promptly upon the request of the other party, (A) obtain all consents from Persons necessary or appropriate for the purposes of transferring, assigning and conveying such Held Asset or Omitted Asset (or part thereof), as applicable, or the relevant interests in them to the other party and (B) complete all such further acts or things as the other party may reasonably direct in order to transfer, assign and convey such Held Asset or Omitted Asset (or parts thereof), as applicable, or the relevant interests in them to the other party; provided, that the transferring party and its Affiliates shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expense pursuant to this clause (b) which is not agreed to be paid or reimbursed by the transferring party or its Affiliates.

Section 7.12. R&W Policy. Without the prior written consent of the Seller, neither Parent nor Buyer shall amend, waive or otherwise modify any provision in the Representation and Warranty Policy attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “R&W Policy”) in any manner that would allow, except as set forth in such R&W Policy, the insurer thereunder or any other Person to subrogate or otherwise make or bring, or cause Parent, Buyer or any of their Affiliates to make or bring, any claim or Proceeding against Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee or advisor of any of the foregoing based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement.

Section 7.13. Walletron.

(a) Seller hereby grants to Buyer an option (the “Walletron Option”) to acquire Walletron, Inc. (“Walletron”) at the Closing by virtue of a purchase by Buyer from Seller of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Walletron, Inc. (the “Walletron Shares”) for an aggregate consideration equal to $3,400,000 (the “Walletron Purchase Price”).

(b) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist in Buyer’s due diligence review of Walletron. Buyer may exercise the Walletron Option (i) only in whole and not in part and (ii) only one time, at any time during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and terminating on date that is 30 days after the date of this Agreement by providing written notice to Seller (an “Exercise Notice”) of such exercise. Subject to Section 7.13(c), any exercise of the Walletron Option by Buyer shall create an irrevocable and binding obligation of Buyer and Seller to consummate the acquisition of the Walletron Shares concurrently with the Closing.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer may rescind its exercise of the Walletron Option and the Exercise Notice if, and only if, in the 30-day period following the date of the Exercise Notice a material and adverse event occurs with respect to Walletron and Buyer delivers notice of option termination in writing to Seller prior to the expiration of such 30-day period. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may only acquire the Walletron Shares pursuant to this Section 7.13 concurrently with the Closing, and if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, any prior exercise of the Walletron Option shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect.

(d) If the Walletron Option has been properly exercised and not rescinded or terminated in accordance with Section 7.13(c), at the Closing Seller shall assign and transfer to Buyer all of its right, title and interest in and to the Walletron Shares to Buyer and Buyer shall pay the Walletron Purchase Price to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Seller.

(iv) The parties agree that any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Section 8.2(e) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. (v) Any disputes between the parties with respect to the Tax matters regarding the Companies in Section 8.2 shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm, whose fees and expenses shall be borne in accordance with Section 4.5(b). (vi) For purposes of this Section 8.2, Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) with respect to a Straddle Period shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date (A) in the case of any real or personal property Taxes, ad valorem Taxes and similar periodic Taxes, by multiplying the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period up to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (B) in the case of all other Taxes, by way of a closing of books, as though the relevant taxable period had ended on the Closing Date (provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned on a daily basis). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any deductions attributable to Transaction Expenses that have not been reflected on a Seller Tax Return shall, insofar as permissible, be allocated to the taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date. (vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller and Buyer agree that Seller makes no representation, warranty, and provides no other assurance, with respect to the amount of any Tax Attributes of the Companies, or with respect to the availability on and after the Closing Date of any Tax Attributes of the Companies.

(f) Procedures Relating to Indemnity of Tax Claims. (i) If a Tax claim, audit, examination, notice of deficiency or other adjustment, assessment or redetermination shall be made or threatened against Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, or any of their Affiliates by any Taxing authority, which, if successful, would result in an indemnity payment pursuant to

Section 8.2(e) (a “Tax Claim”), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of such Tax Claim stating the nature and basis of such Tax Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known by the indemnified party. If notice of a Tax Claim is not given to the indemnifying party within a reasonable period of time to allow the indemnifying party to effectively contest such Tax Claim, or in reasonable detail to apprise the indemnifying party of the nature of the Tax Claim, in each case taking into account the facts and circumstances with respect to such Tax Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party or any of their Affiliates if, and to the extent that, the indemnified party’s ability to effectively contest such Tax Claim is actually prejudiced as a result thereof. (ii) With respect to any Tax Claim that relates to a Tax for which Seller would be solely responsible pursuant to Section 8.2(e)(i), Seller shall control at its expense all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel), but shall not, without the prior written approval of Buyer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), agree or consent to compromise or settle, either administratively or after the commencement of a Proceeding, any issue or claim arising in such Proceeding, or otherwise agree or consent to any Tax Liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement may directly increase (A) the Tax Liability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (other than any Company) or (B) the Tax Liability of any Company with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) for which Buyer would be responsible pursuant to Section 8.2(e)(ii). (iii) With respect to any Tax Claim for which Buyer would be solely responsible pursuant to Section 8.2(e)(ii), Buyer shall have the right to control at its expense all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel), but shall not, without the prior written approval of Seller (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), agree or consent to compromise or settle, either administratively or after the commencement of a Proceeding, any issue or claim arising in such Proceeding, or otherwise agree or consent to any Tax Liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement may directly increase (A) the Tax Liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than any Company) or (B) the Tax Liability of any Company with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) for which Seller would be responsible pursuant to Section 8.2(e)(i). (iv) With regard to a Tax Claim that is (A) related to any Company with regard to a Straddle Period and (B) would be described in Sections 8.2(e)(i) or (ii), but for not being the sole responsibility of either Seller or Buyer, Seller and Buyer shall jointly control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with any such Tax Claim, and shall bear their own respective costs and expenses; provided, however, neither Seller nor Buyer shall agree or consent to compromise or settle, either administratively or after the commencement of a Proceeding, any issue or claim arising in such Proceeding, or otherwise agree or consent to any Tax Liability, without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). (v) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the resolution of any Tax Claims for which Buyer or Seller would be responsible pursuant to Section 8.2(e) (including by the provision of reasonably relevant records or information). The party requesting such cooperation shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the other party.

(g) 338(h)(10) Election. Seller shall join with Buyer in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local, and foreign Law) with respect to the purchase and sale of all issued and outstanding shares of the Companies hereunder (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). In furtherance of the

preceding sentence, Buyer shall complete, execute and timely file with the appropriate Taxing authority any such forms provided by Seller pursuant to Section 4.4(h) and Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer any other documents or forms as Buyer shall reasonably request or as are required by Law to effect the Section 338(h)(10) Election, in each case, as reasonably prepared by Buyer. Seller shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction, or other Tax item resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election on its Tax Returns to the extent required by Law, and shall take no position inconsistent with treating the purchase by Buyer of all issued and outstanding shares of the Companies as a transaction to which Section 338(h)(10) applies unless required by Law. The consideration paid for all issued and outstanding shares of the Companies hereunder and the Liabilities (to the extent included in amount realized for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) of the Companies shall be allocated among the assets of the Companies in accordance with Section 338 of the Code and their fair market values as shown on an allocation schedule provided by Buyer and approved, or deemed approved, by Seller (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Within 90 days after the Adjustment Report Finalization Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a draft Purchase Price Allocation. If within 30 days after Seller’s receipt of the draft Purchase Price Allocation, Seller has not objected in writing to such draft Purchase Price Allocation, it shall become final. In the event that Seller objects in writing within such 30-day period, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. Any issues with respect to the Purchase Price Allocation which have not been finally resolved within 30 days following Seller’s provision of an objection pursuant to this Section 8.2(g) shall be referred to the Accounting Firm, whose determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. To the extent that the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.5 or other provision of this Agreement, the parties shall amend the Purchase Price Allocation to reflect such adjustments and each of Buyer and Seller shall file an amended IRS Form 8883 (Asset Allocation Statement Under Section 338) as required. Buyer, Seller and each of their Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such Purchase Price Allocation (as it may be amended pursuant to this Section 8.2(g)), and none of the parties will voluntarily take any position inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation in any audit, inquiry, assessment, Proceeding or other similar event relating to Tax.

Section 8.3. Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to or at the Closing, except as set forth on Schedule 8.3(a), (i) the employment of each U.S. Business Employee not then employed by a Company, along with all Liabilities of Seller and its Affiliates attributable to each such Business Employee (other than Liability under any Employee Benefit Plan to the extent not otherwise addressed in Section 8.3(e), (f), (g), (h), (i), or (j), and, with respect to current liabilities, only to the extent reflected in Closing Date Working Capital) shall be transferred to one of the Companies and (ii) Buyer or one of its Affiliates (including the Companies) shall offer employment to each International Business Employee, effective as of the Closing, with terms and conditions of employment substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided by Seller prior to the Closing, including with respect to compensation and benefits and any other material terms, as required by applicable Law. Effective as of the Closing, each International Business Employee shall cease to be employed by Seller or any of its Affiliates, as applicable. Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely liable for any Liability (i) to any Business Employee that occurs by reason of a change in control of either Company or the Contemplated Transactions, including the Reorganization, (ii) to any International Business Employee, for all accrued vacation time with

respect to employment periods through the Closing Date, (iii) for all claims under welfare benefit plans or retirement plans (other than with respect to rollover contributions and transferred accounts contemplated by Section 8.3(h) and (j), respectively) with respect to employment periods through the Closing Date, and (iv) for any severance or similar costs incurred by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with the termination of employment of any International Business Employee except to the extent caused by Buyer’s failure to comply with this Section 8.3.

(b) Effective as of the Closing (or such later date mandated by Laws), each Affected Employee shall cease to be eligible to participate in the Employee Benefit Plans and any other employee benefit plan or arrangement maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates or to accrue benefits thereunder with respect to services performed after the Closing.

(c) In addition to complying with all Laws regarding amount, types and changes in compensation, for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending no earlier than the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall take all commercially reasonable action necessary so that each Affected Employee receives (i) base wages, salaries, bonuses, commission arrangements and incentive compensation (which may be in the form of cash or equity incentives) at rates and with values substantially comparable in the aggregate to the rates and values of wages, salaries, bonuses, commission arrangements and incentive compensation (including cash and equity incentives) received by the Affected Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to either (a) the employee benefits provided to the Affected Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date or (b) the employee benefits provided as of the date hereof by Parent to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries (or substantially similar benefits) (the arrangements under which such employee benefits are provided, the “Buyer’s Benefits Programs”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide severance benefits to any Affected Employee who experiences a termination of employment (including anyone whose employment terminates in connection with a proposed relocation of more than 35 miles) (excluding solely as a result of the Contemplated Transactions) during the one-year period beginning immediately after the Closing in an amount that is at least equal to the severance benefits that would have been paid to such employee pursuant to the layoff or severance arrangements maintained by Seller and its Affiliates and applicable to such Affected Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, calculated on the basis of the Affected Employee’s compensation and service at the time of the termination of employment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer agrees not to engage in any “mass layoff” or “plant closing” (as defined in WARN) for 90 days after the Closing Date.

(d) Buyer shall and shall cause its Affiliates to credit Affected Employees with all service credited to such Affected Employees by the Companies, Seller and their respective Affiliates as of the Closing in addition to service earned with Buyer or its Affiliates after the Closing for all purposes (including purposes of eligibility, vesting and levels of benefits, such as the amount of any vacation, sick days, severance, layoff and similar benefits under Buyer’s Benefit Programs, and shall provide that Affected Employees may commence participation in Buyer’s Benefit Programs immediately following the Closing Date. Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, waive any pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements, actively at work requirements or waiting periods for participation and coverage applicable under Buyer’s Benefit Programs with respect to Affected Employees and

their dependents. Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, credit Affected Employees with any amounts paid under any of the Employee Benefit Plans prior to the Closing for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible, coinsurance or out-of-pocket requirements for the plan year that includes the Closing Date as if such amounts had been paid under a corresponding Buyer’s Benefit Program.

(e) With respect to each U.S. Business Employee who is an Affected Employee, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide, recognize and honor the accrued but unused paid time off (“PTO”) and any accrued sick leave hours under the Western Union Company Transition Sick Leave Policy – U.S. Only as of the Closing Date to the extent reflected in Closing Date Working Capital. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates (other than the Companies) shall have any Liability after the Closing for such PTO or accrued sick leave to the extent reflected in Closing Date Working Capital.

(f) Without limiting the comparability requirement described in paragraph (c) above, Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates, to pay bonuses to Affected Employees who were U.S. Business Employees with respect to the year in which Closing occurs that, in the aggregate, are not less than the amount of bonus accruals reflected in Closing Date Working Capital. Seller will pay all bonuses to Affected Employees with respect to 2018 except to the extent such payment amounts are reflected in the Closing Date Working Capital.

(g) Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, establish or maintain a healthcare flexible spending account program and a dependent care flexible spending account program for each Affected Employee who is a U.S. Business Employee and who, in the portion of the calendar year prior to the Closing Date, contributed to the healthcare flexible spending account program or dependent care flexible spending account program, as applicable, maintained by Seller or its Affiliates (the “Seller FSA Program”). The beginning balance as of the Closing Date in each of Buyer’s healthcare spending account program and dependent care flexible spending account program, as applicable, shall be the unused portion of the balance in the applicable healthcare spending account program and dependent care flexible spending account program maintained by Seller or its Affiliates. Buyer shall assume and be solely responsible for all claims for reimbursement by such Affected Employees, whether incurred prior to, on or after the Closing Date, that have not been paid in full as of the Closing Date, which claims shall be paid pursuant to and under the terms of Buyer’s flexible spending account programs. If the aggregate amount withheld from such Affected Employees’ compensation under the Seller FSA Program for the year in which the Closing occurs exceeds the aggregate amount of reimbursements paid to such Affected Employees prior to the Closing Date under the Seller FSA Program for such plan year, Seller shall transfer (or cause to be transferred) to Buyer within 30 days after the Closing Date a cash payment equal to such excess, if any (which amount shall not be included in Closing Date Working Capital). If the aggregate amount of reimbursements paid to such Affected Employees under the Seller FSA Program prior to the Closing Date for the year in which the Closing occurs exceeds the aggregate amount withheld prior to the Closing Date from such Affected Employees’ compensation under the Seller FSA Program for such plan year, Buyer shall transfer to Seller within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date a cash payment equal to such excess, if any (which amount shall not be included in Closing Date Working Capital). Buyer and Seller intend that the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 8.3(g) be treated as an assumption by Buyer of the portion of the Seller FSA Program and the elections made thereunder attributable to such Affected Employees consistent with Revenue Ruling 2002-32.

(h) As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to maintain, establish or designate a tax-qualified defined contribution plan (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) in which the Affected Employees who are U.S. Business Employees are eligible to participate. Buyer shall cause the Buyer 401(k) Plan to accept rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) elected by any such Affected Employee from any tax-qualified Employee Benefit Plan (including any loan notes) in which such Continuing Employee participated prior to the Closing.

(i) Immediately prior to the Closing, the Companies shall make any and all payments to the Affected Employees relating to all amounts that would be considered earned under the Employee Benefit Plans set forth on Schedule 8.3(h) (the “Business Plans”) as of the Closing.

(j) Effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall assume the Liabilities under the SISP attributable to the Affected Employees and shall administer such Liabilities and make associated payments to Affected Employees in accordance with the terms of the SISP and all elections thereunder.

(k) After the Closing Date, Buyer, its Affiliates and the Companies shall have the Liability for, and neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability or obligation for, short-term disability benefits, sick pay or salary continuation (and any medical dental and health benefits or claims incurred after the Closing Date) for the Affected Employees for periods after the Closing Date. Seller shall have the Liability therefor in respect of all pre-Closing periods. For purposes of this paragraph, a medical, dental or other claim shall be deemed incurred when the treatment for which the Affected Employee (or a dependent thereof) is entitled to a benefit is performed or undertaken, as applicable.

(l) Seller has provided an accurate and complete list as of the date hereof of each Business Employee who experienced an “employment loss” (as defined in WARN) during the 90 days prior to the date hereof, stating for each such employee the date of Employment Loss, the employee’s position and work location. Provided that the aforementioned list is accurate and complete, Buyer agrees that it shall have all Liabilities with respect to any “mass layoff” or “plant closing” (as defined in WARN) triggered by its actions with respect to the Business Employees after the Closing Date. Seller shall have all Liabilities with respect to any mass layoff or plant closing triggered by its actions prior to the Closing Date, and all such Liabilities arising after the Closing Date to the extent that they are the result of inaccuracies or omissions in the aforementioned list of employment losses.

(m) Regardless of anything else contained herein, the parties do not intend for this Agreement to amend any plans or arrangements or create any rights or obligations except between the parties. No Affected Employee or other current or former employee of the Companies, including any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any other person not a party to this Agreement, shall be entitled to assert any claim hereunder. Nothing herein expressed or implied shall confer upon any of the Affected Employees or any other person any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.4. Securities Law Legends. Buyer agrees and understands that the Shares have not been, and shall not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities Laws of any state and that the Shares may be sold or disposed of only in one or more transactions registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws or as to which an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws is available. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that no person has any right to require Seller to cause the registration of any of the Shares. The certificates representing the Shares may contain a legend similar to the following and other legends necessary or appropriate under applicable state securities Laws:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SHARES IS EFFECTIVE OR UNLESS THE COMPANY IS IN RECEIPT OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO IT TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH SHARES MAY BE SOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH LAWS.

Section 8.5. Insurance; Risk of Loss. Seller shall, and shall cause the Companies to, keep insurance policies or self-insured retentions currently maintained for the benefit of the Companies covering their business, assets and current or former employees and the Contributed Assets, as the case may be (the “Insurance Coverage”), or suitable replacements therefor, in full force and effect through the close of business on the Closing Date. From and prior to the Closing Date, Seller agrees to take such actions as may be reasonably necessary not to voluntarily relinquish or terminate policies providing Insurance Coverage if doing so would adversely affect the availability of such Insurance Coverage. The availability of Insurance Coverage with respect to any claim shall be subject in all respects to Seller’s applicable deductibles, retention and similar limits. From and after the Closing Date, the Companies shall be solely responsible for all insurance coverage and related risk of loss based on claims pending as of the Closing Date and claims made after the Closing Date, without regard to when the event giving rise to any such claim occurred, with respect to the Companies and their business, assets and current or former employees. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Seller and Buyer agree that all claims with respect to insured events relating to the Business occurring prior to the Closing will be administered in all material respects in accordance with the terms of the Insurance Coverage. Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to provide Buyer with the benefit of the Insurance Coverage with respect to such claims to the extent Losses occurring prior to the Closing related to the Business are covered notwithstanding the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions; provided that (a) such recovery will be net of any deductibles or self-insured retention amounts, costs of any retroactive insurance premiums or other amounts paid or expenses incurred in connection with any insured claims made after the Closing under the Insurance Coverage and (b) Seller shall have no obligation to Buyer or any Company hereunder to prioritize Company

claims over other claims of Seller or any of its Affiliates. In the event of any failure by any insurer to satisfy any claim, Seller and its Affiliates shall have no liability or obligation to Buyer pursuant to this Section 8.5; provided, that the foregoing shall not preclude any liability of Seller for any breach by Seller of this Section 8.5. To the extent that after the Closing any party hereto requires any information regarding claim data, payroll or other information relating to the Companies in order to make filings with insurance carriers or regulators from another party hereto, such other party shall promptly supply such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.5, nothing in this Section 8.5 shall require Seller or any of its Affiliates to expend money (other than customary legal advisor costs), commence or participate in any Proceeding or offer or grant any accommodation or concession (financial or otherwise) to any third party.

Section 8.6. Substitute Guaranties; Replacement Letters of Credit. At or prior to Closing, Buyer shall (a) make Buyer or one of its Affiliates substituted for Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Companies) in those guarantees, letters of comfort, indemnities or similar arrangements entered into by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Companies) listed on Schedule 8.6(a) (the “Guaranties”), (b) cooperate in Seller’s efforts to make Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Companies) fully released from all of its obligations under the Guaranties (including if necessary, by replacing collateral for such obligations of Seller and its Affiliates and upon receipt, if any, of any cash or collateral deposits, returning such to Seller) and (c) provide for replacement letters of credit for the letters of credit included in the Guaranties; provided, however, if Buyer fails to take such actions prior to Closing, Buyer shall take such actions, as promptly as possible, and effective as promptly practicable, following the Closing. If Buyer is unable to effect such a substitution and release with respect to any Guaranties after using reasonable best efforts to do so, Buyer shall indemnify Seller from any Losses arising from such Guaranties. Without limiting the foregoing, after the Closing, Buyer will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, renew, extend, amend or supplement any loan, contract, lease or other obligation that is covered by a Guaranty without providing Seller with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller that Seller’s Guaranty has been released.

Section 8.7. Assistance with Financial Reporting. For a period of six years after the Closing, Buyer shall provide reasonable assistance to Seller during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice in connection with any reporting obligations of Seller pursuant to the Securities Act or Exchange Act or any of the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder and any other financial reporting obligations of Seller, in each case, related to the Business or the Companies during any period prior to the Closing.

Section 8.8. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; No-Hire.

(a) Seller hereby agrees that Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, for a period of two years after the Closing Date, engage in, control or manage any business that engages in the Business (whether utilizing the Sprint Platform or any other platform). Nothing herein shall prohibit Seller and its Subsidiaries from (i) being a passive owner of not more than 5% of the outstanding stock of any class of an entity which is publicly traded, so long as such Person has no active participation in the business of such corporation, (ii) engaging in any business activities (other than the Business) that were conducted by Seller and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date or the one year period preceding the

Closing Date in the ordinary course and in accordance with its past practices, (iii) acquiring an ownership interest in any Person; provided, however, that if 10% or more of the gross revenues of such Person are attributable to a Business, Seller shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, divest such Business within 12 months of such acquisition or (iv) providing any Seller Service the primary purpose of which is for the collection of payments by a United States customer from outside of the United States, but which may include the incidental or occasional collection and transmission of US dollar payments within the United States for such customer.

(b) Seller hereby agrees that Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, for a period of one year after the Closing Date, (i) solicit any Affected Employee to leave the employ of the Companies or (ii) hire any Affected Employee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be deemed breached by and shall not prevent Seller and its Subsidiaries from, (A) undertaking general solicitations of employment not specifically targeted at any of the foregoing employees or (B) soliciting or hiring any of the foregoing employees from and after the date that is six months following the termination of employment of any such employee by the Companies.

(c) The foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, (i) with respect to any business or Subsidiary of Seller that is disposed of to a Person or Persons who are not controlled by Seller or (ii) with respect to Seller and its Subsidiaries if Seller is involved in a Business Combination. “Business Combination” means any transaction or series of transactions (A) pursuant to which any Person or group of Persons acquires beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding voting power of Seller or 50% or all or substantially all of the assets of Seller and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or (B) in the form of a merger, reorganization, combination or other structure, as a result of which, the stockholders of Seller immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the surviving or resulting Person from such transaction.

Section 8.9. On-Going Actions. During the period between the date hereof and the Closing, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to take the actions contemplated in Sections 1.7 through 1.10 of Schedule A of the Transition Services Agreement as though the Transition Services Agreement were in effect as of the date hereof and without the use of the service contemplated in Schedule B of the Transaction Services Agreement (it being understood and agreed that such actions may not be completed prior to Closing and following Closing, the Transition Services Agreement, and not this Agreement, shall govern the actions to be taken under Section Sections 1.7 through 1.10 of Schedule A of Schedule A of the Transition Services Agreement).

(f) by Buyer in the event (i) the conditions set forth in Article IX shall have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted waived (other than (A) those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which remains capable of being satisfied and (B) those conditions set forth in Section 10.2) and (ii) Seller fails to consummate the Closing on the date the Closing was to have occurred pursuant to Section 4.1.

(g) by Seller in the event (i) the conditions set forth in Article IX shall have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted, waived (other than (A) those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing and the condition to deliver the Reorganization Certificate, each of which remains capable of being satisfied and (B) those conditions set forth in Section 9.2) and (ii) Buyer fails to consummate the Closing (including paying the Preliminary Purchase Price) on the date the Closing was to have occurred pursuant to Section 4.1.

Section 11.2. Notice of Termination. Any party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other party to this Agreement.

Section 11.3. Buyer Termination Fee. In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 11.1(g), then upon notice from Seller, Buyer shall promptly, but in no event later than three business days after the date of such termination, pay to the Seller a fee of $40,000,000 (the “Buyer Termination Fee”). Any Buyer Termination Fee paid to the Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Seller to Buyer for such purpose.

Section 11.4. Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to this Article XI, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement (other than Section 7.6(c), Section 7.6(d), Section 11.3, this Section 11.4 and Section 13.8) shall be terminated without further liability of any party to the other; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for its willful breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 12.1. Survival. The representations and warranties contained in Article V and Article VI shall survive the Closing and shall terminate 18 months after the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall terminate on the Closing Date, unless a specific covenant or agreement requires performance after the Closing Date, in which case such covenant or agreement shall survive for a period of 30 days following the date on which the performance of such covenant or agreement is required to be completed.

Section 12.2. Indemnification by Seller.

(a) Following the Closing, subject to the terms of this Article XII, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Companies) and their officers, directors, employees and representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) from and against, without duplication, any Losses incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Person arising out of or resulting from (i) prior to the expiration in accordance with Section 12.1, any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in Article V of this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing, (ii) prior to the expiration in accordance with Section 12.1, any breach by Seller to perform any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement that requires performance after the Closing Date, (iii) Taxes to the extent provided under Section 8.2(e), and (iv) any Excluded Liabilities.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, (i) with respect to claims for indemnification arising under Section 12.2(a)(i) (other than for a breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Seller Fundamental Representations), the cumulative indemnification obligations of Seller shall in no event exceed $2,812,500 (the “Cap”), (ii) with respect to claims arising under (A) Section 12.2(a)(i) for a breach or inaccuracy of a Seller Fundamental Representation, (B) Section 12.2(a)(ii) or (C) Section 12.2(a)(iii), the cumulative indemnification obligations of Seller shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price (the “Purchase Price Cap”), (iii) with respect to claims for indemnification arising under Section 12.2(a)(i) (other than for a breach or inaccuracy of the Seller Fundamental Representations), Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons exceeds $2,812,500 (the “Deductible”), after which, Seller shall only be obligated for such aggregate Losses in excess of Deductible up to the Cap. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the limitations set forth in this Section 12.2(b) shall not apply in respect of claims for indemnification under Section 12.2(a)(iv) or Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Persons in respect of any Fraud.

Section 12.3. Indemnification by Buyer.

(a) Following the Closing, subject to the terms of this Article XII, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Companies) and their officers, directors, employees and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons” and, together with the Buyer Indemnified Persons, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any Losses incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Person arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties made by Buyer in Article VI of this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing, (ii) any breach of Buyer to perform any of its covenants in this Agreement that requires performance after the Closing Date or (iii) any Assumed Liabilities.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, (i) with respect to claims for indemnification arising under Section 12.3(a)(i) (other than for a breach or inaccuracy of the Buyer Fundamental Representations), the cumulative indemnification obligations of Buyer shall in no event exceed $2,812,500, (ii) with respect to claims arising under (A) Section 12.3(a)(i) for a breach or inaccuracy of the Buyer Fundamental Representations or (B) Section 12.3(a)(ii), the cumulative indemnification obligations of Buyer shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price, (iii) with respect to claims for indemnification arising under Section 12.3(a)(i) (other than for a breach or inaccuracy of the Buyer Fundamental Representations), Buyer shall not be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Person until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Persons exceeds $2,812,500. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) except for clause (ii) of this Section 12.3(b), none of the limitations set forth in this Section 12.3(b) shall apply to claims for indemnification under Section 12.3(a)(ii) or claims arising out of a breach of the Buyer Fundamental Representations, and (ii) none of the limitations set forth in this Section 12.3(b) shall apply to claims for indemnification under Section 12.3(a)(iii).

Section 12.4. Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a party hereto in respect of a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement shall terminate on the applicable survival termination date (as set forth in Section 12.1), unless an Indemnified Party shall have incurred a Loss prior to such applicable survival termination date and made an Indemnification Claim (as defined below) pursuant to Section 12.2 or 12.3, subject to the terms and conditions of Article XII, prior to such termination date, as applicable, including by delivering a Claim Notice (as defined below) to the Indemnifying Party (as defined below). If an Indemnified Party has made a proper Indemnification Claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 12.2 or 12.3 prior to such termination date, then such claim for such Loss incurred (and only such claim for such Loss incurred), if then unresolved, shall not be extinguished by the passage of the deadlines set forth in Section 12.1.

Section 12.5. Procedures Relating to Indemnification. An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the party or parties obligated to provide

indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the Indemnified Party first becomes aware (and in any event within 30 days thereof) of the basis for a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article XII (including any Third Party Claim) (such claim, an “Indemnification Claim”), and such Claim Notice shall contain (a) a reasonably detailed description and, if reasonably available or determinable, the Loss incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party together with such supporting documents reasonably available to such Indemnified Party, (b) a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for the Indemnification Claim to the extent of the facts then known by the Indemnified Party, and (c) a demand for payment of such Loss; provided, that failure to give such notification shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XII except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

Section 12.6. Notice and Opportunity To Defend. If there occurs an indemnifiable event which involves any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third Person, including any Governmental Body (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice (and in any event within 30 days of such Third Party Claim) of such Third Party Claim or the commencement thereof. The failure to provide prompt notice as provided herein shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only if, and to the extent that, such failure actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to (a) participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim or (b) assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) if (i) the Third Party Claim relates primarily to any criminal Proceeding, (ii) the Third Party Claim primarily seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, or (iii) the Third Party Claim is one in which the Indemnifying Party is also a party and, based upon the advice of counsel, joint representation would be inappropriate or there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are inconsistent from to those available to the Indemnifying Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of such election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal costs or expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Article XII. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree to cooperate reasonably with each other and their respective counsel in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Proceeding or asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim as contemplated hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in (but not control) at its own expense in the defense of such Proceeding or asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, no settlement or compromise thereof may be effected (A) by the Indemnifying Party without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (1) the settlement seeks only monetary relief and all such relief provided is paid or satisfied in full by the Indemnifying Party, (2) the settlement or compromise provides for a full release by the party of the Indemnified Party with respect to the claim(s) being settled, and (3) the settlement or compromise does not contain any admission of finding or wrongdoing on behalf of the Indemnified Party or (B) by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Proceeding, neither the Indemnifying

Party nor the Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Proceeding without the consent of the other party. Except as contemplated hereunder, in no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement or compromise effected without its prior written consent. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XII, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the 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 a Claim Notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above), provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall only be obligated to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, (1) the parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and (2) the Indemnifying Party shall pursue the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim in good faith. The provisions of this Section 12.6 shall not apply to the conduct of any Tax Claim, the conduct of which shall be governed by Section 8.2(e).

Section 12.7. Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article XII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 12.8. Additional Matters; Manner of Payment.

(a) The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement, any Buyer Ancillary Agreement or any Seller Ancillary Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b) If an Indemnified Party receives a payment in respect of Losses after the Indemnifying Party has paid the Indemnified Party under any indemnification provision of this Agreement in respect of such Losses, the Indemnified Party must promptly notify the Indemnifying Party and promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the extent of such payment within five business days after receipt. Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all steps as required by Law to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto. An Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification pursuant to Sections 12.2 or 12.3, as applicable, shall be reduced by the amount paid by a third party (including an insurance company or any third party owing an indemnification or similar obligation to the Indemnified Party), or paid by such third party to another for the account or benefit of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, with respect to the settlement or resolution of a claim for which Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, was entitled to indemnification hereunder. If an Indemnifying Party makes any payment for any Losses suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses and with respect to the claim giving rise to such Losses.

(c) The amount of any and all Losses shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies or indemnification by, reimbursement or cash receipts from, or indemnification agreement with any third-party with respect to such Losses, in each case, net of reasonable costs of collection resulting from making any claim thereunder. Buyer shall not make any claim for indemnification under this Article VII or Section 8.2(e) to the extent any matter that was taken into account in the determination of Working Capital or the calculation of any adjustment to the Purchase Price in Article IV.

(d) With respect to indemnification claims made under Sections 12.2(a)(i) or 12.3(a)(i), for purposes of determining breach and calculating the amount of any Losses attributable to any such breach, inaccuracy or noncompliance, except in the case of Section 5.4, Section 5.5(a), Section 5.20 and the Listing Representations, all references to “material,” “materiality,” “material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect” and similar qualifications shall be disregarded.

(e) Any payments required to be made by Seller to any Buyer Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article XII or Section 8.2(e) shall first be made as follows:

(i) First, from Seller until such Losses equal $2,812,500;

(ii) Second, with respect to Losses covered by the R&W Policy, under the R&W Policy; and

(iii) Then, if and to the extent recoveries and amounts available to be claimed under the R&W Policy have been exhausted for Losses and Indemnification Claims remain unsatisfied, the Buyer Indemnified Person shall then be entitled to pursue recovery of such remaining unsatisfied Losses from Seller directly, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Article XII

Section 12.9. Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to disputes related to the Purchase Price adjustments in Section 4.5 (which shall be governed exclusively by Section 4.5), the indemnification provisions contained in this Article XII, subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to any party in connection with any Losses arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions following the Closing. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 12.9 shall limit or restrict the ability or right of any party hereto to seek injunctive or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 13.12 for any breach or alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement or in respect of Fraud; provided, that any procedures in respect of and limitations on Losses in this Article XII, to the extent applicable, shall in no event be diminished or circumvented by such relief. The parties agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on the remedies hereunder with respect to this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to Seller hereunder.

ARTICLE XIII

Section 13.2. Public Announcements.

Section 13.4. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The rights of either party under this Agreement shall not be assignable by such party hereto prior to the Closing without the written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall have the right, without the prior written consent of Seller, to assign all or any portion of their rights, interests, and obligations under this Agreement to (i) any Affiliate (so long as Buyer and Parent remains fully liable for all of its obligations hereunder) and/or (ii) any Financing Source (as defined below) (so long as Buyer and Parent remains fully liable for all of its obligations hereunder) for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning collateral in respect of any debt financing.

(b) Following the Closing, neither party may assign any of its rights hereunder or delegate its duties to any third Person without the written consent of the other party, except that any party may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to an Affiliate. Any assignment hereunder (whether before or after the Closing) shall not relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any Person other than the parties and successors and assigns permitted by this Section 13.4 and pursuant to Article XI and Sections 8.2(e), 8.5 and 13.16 any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 13.5. Access to Records after Closing.

(a) For a period of six years after the Closing Date, Seller and its representatives shall have reasonable access to the personnel and all of the books and records of the Companies to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by Seller in connection with matters relating to or affected by the operations of the Companies prior to the Closing Date.

Buyer agrees to maintain such records in readable and readily accessible format during such six-year period. After such six-year period, Buyer may destroy or dispose of such records after providing at least 60 days’ advance written notice to Seller and an opportunity for Seller to obtain, at the cost of Seller, copies of any such records. Such access shall be afforded by Buyer upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. Seller shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 13.5(a) and shall reimburse Buyer for any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 13.5(a).

(b) For a period of six years after the Closing Date, Buyer and its representatives shall have reasonable access to the personnel and all of the books and records relating to the Companies which Seller or any of their Affiliates may retain after the Closing Date. Seller agrees to maintain such records in readable and readily accessible format during such six-year period. After such six-year period, Seller may destroy or dispose of such records after providing at least 60 days’ advance written notice to Buyer and an opportunity for Buyer to obtain, at the cost of Buyer, copies of any such records. Such access shall be afforded by Seller and their Affiliates upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. Seller agrees to maintain such records in readable and readily accessible format during such six-year period. Buyer shall be solely responsible for any costs and expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 13.5(b) and shall reimburse Seller for any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 13.5(b).

(c) Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be obligated to provide the other party with access to any books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 13.5 where such access would violate any Law, privilege or confidentiality obligation.

Section 13.6. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein, the documents delivered pursuant hereto and the Confidentiality Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and supersede all other prior representations, warranties, agreements, understandings or letters of intent between or among any of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of the parties hereto. Section 13.13, the last sentence of this Section 13.6, and Section 13.16 of this Agreement may not be amended or modified in whole or in part in a manner that adversely affects the rights of the Financing Source Related Parties thereunder without the prior written consent of the requisite commitment parties having consent over amendments to this Agreement pursuant to the Commitment Letter.

Section 13.7. Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. For this purpose, an email, even if it includes a signature block of the sender, shall not be considered a “writing”, although an electronic copy of a document duly executed on behalf of a party hereto shall be considered a “writing” even if transmitted by email or other electronic means. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of

this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

Section 13.8. Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, each party hereto shall pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and independent public accountants.

Section 13.9. Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

Section 13.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to Seller and Buyer.

Section 13.11. Further Assurances. On and after the Closing Date each party hereto shall take such other actions and execute such other documents and instruments of conveyance and transfer as may be reasonably requested by the other party hereto from time to time to effectuate or confirm the transfer of the Shares to Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 13.12. Jurisdiction; Specific Performance. Except as provided herein with respect to non-judicial determinations and in Section 13.16, any Proceeding hereunder or in respect of the Contemplated Transaction may only be brought in federal or state court in Wilmington, Delaware. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Section 13.13. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto waives the right to a trial by jury in any Proceeding in connection with or relating to this Agreement, any Seller Ancillary Agreement or any Buyer Ancillary Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 13.14. Confidential Nature of Information. Each party hereto agrees that all documents, materials and other information which it shall have obtained regarding the other parties during the course of the negotiations leading to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (whether obtained before or after the date of this Agreement), the investigation

provided for herein and the preparation of this Agreement and other related documents shall be held in confidence pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement, which Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate at Closing.

Section 13.15. Privilege; Waiver of Conflicts. Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed after the Closing to include the Companies) hereby (a) agrees that, notwithstanding any current or prior representation of the Companies and Seller by Sidley Austin LLP (“Prior Companies Counsel”), Prior Companies Counsel shall be allowed to represent Seller in any matters or disputes that arise under or relate to the Contemplated Transactions, (b) waives any claim that Buyer, the Companies, or any of their Affiliates has or may have that Prior Companies Counsel has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation, (c) agrees that, if a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, the Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller on the other hand, then Prior Companies Counsel may represent Seller in such dispute, even though the interests of Seller may be directly adverse to Buyer or the Companies and even though Prior Companies Counsel may have represented the Companies in matter substantially related to such dispute or may be handling ongoing matters for the Companies, and (d) agrees that, after the Closing, Seller shall retain, own, and control (in its sole and absolute discretion) all communications between or among Prior Companies Counsel and Seller or the Companies that relate, in any way, to the Contemplated Transactions, and with respect to such information, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Seller and may be controlled by Seller and shall not pass to or be claimed or disputed by Buyer or the Companies or any of their Affiliates; provided, however, that nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to constitute an agreement by Seller or the Companies to waive any privilege of the Companies with respect to any information or communication that does not relate to any dispute under or relating to the Contemplated Transactions (it being understood that any privilege of the Companies that attaches with respect to such other matters shall be controlled solely by the Companies after the Closing). Also, if a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer or the Companies on the one hand, and any third party other than a Seller on the other hand then the Companies may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure to such third-party of confidential communications by Prior Companies Counsel; provided, however, that to the extent such privilege relates in any way to the Contemplated Transactions, the Companies may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Buyer acknowledges on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed after the Closing to include the Companies) that it has had the opportunity to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions, and other provisions of this Section 13.15, including the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of its choice.
