Without limiting the foregoing but subject to Section 1.04(g), Purchaser and its Affiliates may rely upon the Estimated Closing Statement, and in no event shall Purchaser have any liability to Parent, Seller, the Group Companies and/or any other person on account of payments made in accordance with the Estimated Closing Statement.

the Working Capital Deficit, if any, (iii) Indebtedness as of the Reference Time (but giving effect to any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness by Parent, Seller and/or any of the Group Companies prior to the Closing) (“Closing Indebtedness”), (iv) Transaction Expenses incurred but not paid as of the Reference Time (“Closing Transaction Expenses”), (v) Change of Control Payments to the extent not paid as of the Reference Time (“Closing Change of Control Payments”) and (vi) the Final Closing Date Amount. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the terms of this Agreement.

(c) During the 60 calendar day period following Purchaser’s delivery of the Closing Statement, Parent and any accountants, counsel or financial advisers retained by Parent in connection with any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 1.04 shall be permitted to review the working papers of Purchaser and each Group Company relating to the Closing Statement. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 60th calendar day following delivery thereof, unless Parent gives written notice of its disagreement with the Closing Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Purchaser on or prior to such date, which disagreement shall be limited to mathematical errors and calculations of amounts not being made in accordance with the Accounting Principles and this Agreement. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the item(s), dollar amount(s), nature and basis of any disagreement so asserted. Each of Purchaser and Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items contained in the Closing Statement that are not subject to the Notice of Disagreement. If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered to Purchaser within the 60 calendar day period referred to above, then the Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon the parties on the earlier of (i) the date on which Purchaser and Parent resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (ii) the date on which all such disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Independent Expert pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 1.04. During the 60 calendar day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Purchaser and Parent shall discuss in good faith any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement; provided that all negotiations between Purchaser and Parent regarding the matters specified in such Notice of Disagreement shall (unless otherwise agreed by Purchaser and Parent) be governed by Rule 408 of the U.S. Federal Rules of Evidence and any comparable applicable state rule. If Purchaser and Parent have not resolved such matters at the end of such 60 calendar day period, Purchaser and Parent shall submit to the Independent Expert for review any and all matters that remain in dispute and were included in the Notice of Disagreement. The parties shall instruct the Independent Expert to render its decision as to the unresolved disputed matters and the effect of its decision on the Closing Statement as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 60 calendar days after the date of such submission. Each party shall furnish to the Independent Expert such working papers and other relevant documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed matters, and shall provide interviews and answer questions, as the Independent Expert may reasonably request in connection with its determination of such unresolved disputed matters; provided that no party shall be obligated to provide access or information if such party determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so may violate any applicable Law or jeopardize protection of attorney client privileges. In the event any party (or any of its Affiliates or representatives) shall participate in teleconferences or meetings with, or make presentations to, or otherwise have correspondence with or provide information to, the Independent Expert, the other party shall be entitled to participate in such teleconferences, meetings and presentations and receive copies of such correspondence and information. The terms of the appointment and engagement of the Independent Expert shall be as agreed upon between the parties in writing, whether pursuant to a customary engagement letter or otherwise.

(d) Purchaser and Parent shall jointly instruct the Independent Expert that, in resolving any such unresolved disputed matter, the Independent Expert (i) shall act in the capacity of an expert and not as an arbitrator, (ii) shall limit its review to matters specifically set forth in the Notice of Disagreement as a disputed matter (other than matters thereafter resolved by mutual written agreement of the parties) and shall base its determination solely on the submissions described in Section 1.04(c), (iii) shall not assign a value to any disputed matter greater than the greatest value for such matter claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such matter claimed by either party in the Closing Statement or in the Notice of Disagreement and (iv) shall make its determinations solely in accordance with the Accounting Principles and this Agreement.

(e) Purchaser and Parent shall jointly instruct the Independent Expert that the final determination by the Independent Expert of the matters submitted to it pursuant to Section 1.04(c) shall (i) be in writing, (ii) include the Independent Expert’s calculation of the Final Closing Date Amount, (iii) include the Independent Expert’s determination of each matter submitted to it pursuant to Section 1.04(c) and (iv) include a brief summary of the Independent Expert’s reasons for its determination of each matter.

(f) Absent manifest error or fraud, the resolution of disputed matters by the Independent Expert shall be final and binding, and the determination of the Independent Expert shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Independent Expert incurred pursuant to this Section 1.04 shall be borne equally by Parent and Purchaser.

(g) Within five Business Days after the Closing Statement becomes final and binding upon the parties:

(i) if the Final Closing Date Amount is less than the Initial Closing Date Amount, Parent shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Purchaser; or

(ii) if the Final Closing Date Amount is greater than the Initial Closing Date Amount, Purchaser shall pay to Parent the amount of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Parent.

(h) During the period from the Closing until such time as the Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties in accordance with this Section 1.04, Purchaser shall (i) preserve the records of the Group Companies on which the Closing Statement is to be based and not take any action with respect to such records that would obstruct, prevent or otherwise affect the procedures or the results of the procedures set forth in this Section 1.04 and

(ii) afford, and shall cause each Group Company to afford, to Parent and any accountants, counsel or financial advisers retained by Parent in connection with any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 1.04 reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to the properties, books, Contracts and records of the Group Companies, and the work papers of Purchaser and the Group Companies, relevant to the adjustments contemplated by this Section 1.04, and shall provide, upon Parent’s reasonable request, copies of any such books, Contracts, records and work papers to Parent.

SECTION 1.05 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser, its Affiliates and any applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Purchaser or its Affiliates are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to (a) provide Parent with written notice of its (or its Affiliates’) intention to deduct or withhold and of the amounts subject to deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding arising with respect to (A) compensatory payments or (B) the failure of Parent to deliver the form described in Section 5.07(e)) as soon as reasonably practicable and prior to the anticipated time of payment and (b) provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to deliver or cause to be delivered such forms, certificates or other evidence as would eliminate or reduce any such required deduction or withholding. Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to cooperate, in order to reduce or eliminate any amounts that would be required to be deducted and withheld on payments made pursuant to this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are deducted or withheld in accordance with this Section 1.05 and timely paid to the appropriate taxing authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

SECTION 1.06 Designation of Affiliates. Without limiting Section 8.02, prior to the Closing, Purchaser may, after providing Parent with five Business Days’ advance notice, designate one or more Affiliates to, at the Closing, acquire all or part of the Transferred Equity Interests or pay all or any portion of the Purchase Price, in which event references herein to Purchaser will be deemed to refer to such Affiliates, as appropriate; provided, however, that no such designation (i) would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) will in any event limit or affect the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement to the extent not performed by such Affiliates.

SECTION 4.06 Financing. (a) Purchaser has delivered to Parent true, correct and complete copies of (i) a fully executed commitment letter dated on or about the date of this Agreement (together with all exhibits, annexes, schedules and term sheets attached thereto and as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement in compliance with Section 5.23, the “Equity Commitment Letter”) from the Guarantors, providing, subject only to the terms and conditions therein, for an equity investment in Purchaser in cash in the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”), and (ii) a fully executed commitment letter and Redacted Fee Letter dated on or about the date of this Agreement from the financial institutions and the other Persons identified therein (as such parties may be supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Lenders”) (such letters, together with all exhibits, annexes, schedules and term sheets attached thereto and as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement in compliance with Section 5.23, collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Financing Letters”), providing, subject only to the terms and conditions set forth therein, for debt financing in cash in the amounts set forth therein (collectively, the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”). As of the date of this Agreement, neither of the Financing Letters in the form delivered to Parent has been amended or modified, and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, no such amendment or modification is contemplated except as contemplated in Section 5.23(a), and none of the obligations or commitments contained therein have been, to the knowledge of Purchaser, withdrawn, terminated, repudiated or rescinded in any respect and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, no such withdrawal, termination, repudiation or rescission is contemplated. As of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates) has fully paid any and all commitment fees and other fees pursuant to the Financing Letters or otherwise in connection with the Financing that are due, earned and payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement. Assuming the Financing is funded in accordance with the Financing Letters, the net proceeds thereof contemplated by the Financing Letters will in the aggregate be sufficient to enable Purchaser to consummate the Transactions on the Closing Date (including the payment of the Purchase Price and all other amounts required to be paid by Purchaser in connection with the Transactions) and otherwise perform its obligations hereunder. As of the date of this Agreement, each Financing Letter in the form delivered to Parent (x) constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser and each of the other parties thereto, (y) is enforceable in accordance with its terms against Purchaser and each of the other parties thereto, subject to the Bankruptcy Exceptions, and (z) is in full force and effect. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of Purchaser or any other party thereto under any Financing Letter or otherwise cause any portion of the Financing to be unavailable or delayed. Assuming the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties of Parent set forth in Article II and III, the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02, and the performance by Xxxxxx and its Subsidiaries of their other obligations under this Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser does not have any reason to believe that it or any other party to any Financing Letter will be unable to satisfy any term or condition of any Financing Letter required to be satisfied by it, that the conditions thereof will not otherwise be satisfied, or that the full amount of the Financing will not be available, in each case

on the Closing Date. The only conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the obligations of the Guarantors to fund the full amount of the Equity Financing and the Lenders to fund the full amount of the Debt Financing are those expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter and the Debt Commitment Letter, respectively. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no side letters or any other Contracts, arrangements or understandings to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is a party related to the funding of the Financing other than as expressly contained in the Financing Letters and/or delivered to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to (i) (A) reduce (or would have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing or (B) reduce (or would have the effect of reducing) the amount of the Debt Financing, unless the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount such that the aggregate amount of the Financing is sufficient to consummate the Transactions on the Closing Date (after taking into account the available cash of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and other binding commitments in favor of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries), including the payment of the Purchase Price and all other amounts required to be paid by Purchaser in connection with the Transactions, (ii) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the availability of the Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the Financing, or otherwise expand, amend or modify any other provision of the Financing Letters in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent or make less likely to occur the funding of the Financing (or the satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date or (iii) adversely impact the ability of Purchaser to enforce its rights and remedies against any other party to the Financing Letters.

(b) Assuming (i) satisfaction of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Transactions and after giving effect to the Transactions and the payment of the Purchase Price and all other amounts required to be paid by Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by Parent set forth in Article II, Article III and the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(e) in all material respects and (iii) any estimates, projection or forecasts prepared by or on behalf of Parent have been prepared in good faith based on assumptions that were, at the time, reasonable, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be Solvent immediately after the Closing and giving effect to the Transactions (including, if any, the Debt Financing and the Equity Financing).

(d) During the period beginning on January 1, 2023 and ending on the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Group Companies to fully purchase, pay for, acquire and receive at least 285 new vehicles in the ordinary course of business.

SECTION 5.02 Access to Information. From the date of this Agreement to the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to Purchaser and its accountants, counsel and other representatives and Lenders reasonable access, upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, to all the personnel, properties, books, Contracts, Tax Returns and records of the Group Companies or the Business and, during such period, shall furnish to Purchaser any information concerning any Group Company or the Business as Purchaser may reasonably request (other than any of the foregoing to the extent related to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or the Transactions or any proposals to or from other parties relating to any competing or alternative transactions); provided, however, that Purchaser and its accountants, counsel and other representatives and Lenders shall conduct any such permitted activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of Parent or any of its Affiliates; provided further, however, that (i) none of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide such access if Parent determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so could (A) violate applicable Law or an applicable Judgment or (B) jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or other legal privilege (it being understood that Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such access in a manner that does not violate any such Law or Judgment or jeopardize any such privilege or protection), provided, that in the event Parent does not disclose information due to the foregoing matters, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to seek alternative means to disclose such information to the maximum extent possible, including by entering into a joint defense or similar agreement, (ii) such access shall not include any Phase II environmental investigations or any other environmental testing or sampling of, at or under any Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property by or on behalf of Purchaser, its accountants, counsel or its other representatives or Lenders and (iii) Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to provide any such access or information to the extent unrelated to the Business. All requests for information made pursuant

to this Section 5.02 shall be directed to the executive officer or other Person designated by Xxxxxx.

SECTION 5.03 Confidentiality. (a) Xxxxxxxxx agrees that the information being provided to it in connection with the Transactions (including the terms of the Transaction Agreements and the contents of the Parent Disclosure Letter) will remain subject to the terms of the confidentiality agreement, dated as of March 8, 2023, between GTCR LLC and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Effective upon the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate. Effective upon the Closing, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any confidentiality agreements entered into between Parent or the Group Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and any potential purchaser in a proposed transaction similar to the Transactions, on the other hand, to be assigned to the Group Companies, such that the Group Companies and their Affiliates receive the benefit of, and full right to enforce, such confidentiality agreements from and after the Closing.

(b) From and after the Closing until the fifth anniversary of the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives to, keep confidential and not disclose to any other Person any Trade Secrets, confidential or non-public information not relating solely to the Business provided to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, by Parent or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, in each case, in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The obligations of Purchaser under this Section 5.03(b) shall not apply to information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 5.03(b) or (ii) is required to be disclosed by applicable Law or any Judgment; provided, however, that in the case of clause (ii), Purchaser shall notify Parent as early as practicable prior to disclosure to allow Parent to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such information.

SECTION 5.04 Efforts to Consummate the Transactions. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Parent and Purchaser shall each use its reasonable best efforts (unless, with respect to any action, another standard of performance is expressly provided for herein) to cause the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable, including taking all reasonable actions necessary to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on it with respect to the Closing. Parent and Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, acquire or make any investment in any Person or any division or assets thereof if such acquisition or investment would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in a material delay in the satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article VI or any of such conditions not being satisfied.

(b) Each of Parent and Purchaser shall (and, to the extent required, shall cause their respective Affiliates to) as promptly as practicable file or cause to be filed with the appropriate Governmental Entities any notices and applications necessary to obtain clearance under any applicable Laws for the consummation of the Transactions, including the Required Regulatory Approvals. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Purchaser agrees to make (or, to the extent required, cause its applicable Affiliates to make) an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “HSR Act”), with respect to the Transactions within 10 Business Days following the date hereof. Parent and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) furnish each other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary or advisable under such Laws. Parent and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) keep each other apprised of the status of any material communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional or supplemental information from, any Governmental Entities in connection with such filings or any of the Required Regulatory Approvals and shall (and, to the extent required, shall cause their respective Affiliates to) promptly make or cause to be made an appropriate response to any additional or supplemental information request from a Governmental Entity in connection with any such filings or the Required Regulatory Approvals, as necessary or advisable to obtain all Required Regulatory Approvals (including the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting periods) as promptly as practicable. Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall (nor shall it permit any of its respective Affiliates to) “pull and re-file” any HSR Act filing applicable to the Transactions pursuant to 16 C.F.R. § 803.12(c), enter into any timing agreement with any Governmental Entity or otherwise consent to any voluntary delay of the Closing or extension of any applicable waiting period, or permit any the foregoing actions to be taken, without the consent of the other.

(c) For purposes of this Section 5.04, (i) the “reasonable best efforts” of Parent and Purchaser shall include Parent (and its Affiliates) and Purchaser (and its Subsidiaries) (A) contesting and resisting any Proceeding instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity challenging the Transactions as violative of any Law and (B) attempting to have repealed, rescinded or made inapplicable any applicable Law, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Judgment or other restraint or prohibition (an “Injunction”), that is enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction that would make the Transactions illegal or would otherwise prohibit or impair or delay the consummation of the Transactions, and (ii) the “reasonable best efforts” of Purchaser shall also include Purchaser (and its Subsidiaries) (A) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of businesses, product lines, assets or operations of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or of the Group Companies, (B) conducting its and its Subsidiaries’ businesses or the Group Companies’ businesses in a specified manner, or proposing and agreeing or permitting to conduct any of such businesses in a specified manner, including by agreeing to undertakings required by a Governmental Entity that it or any of its Subsidiaries or any Group Company will take, or refrain from taking, any action, and (C) otherwise taking or committing to take actions that after the Closing Date would limit Purchaser’s or its Subsidiaries’ ability to retain one or more of the businesses, product lines, assets or operations of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or any Group Company, in each case, to the extent necessary to obtain any clearance required under applicable Laws for the consummation of the Transactions, resolve any such objections or avoid or eliminate any such impediments (each of the actions described in the foregoing sub-clauses (A), (B) and (C) of this clause (ii), a “Remedy Action”); provided, however, that the effectiveness of any such Remedy Action shall be conditioned upon the Closing. For the

avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.04 or any other provision of this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates (other than any Group Company effective upon the Closing) nor any Affiliate of Purchaser (other than Purchaser’s Subsidiaries or any of the Group Companies effective upon the Closing) shall be required to sell, divest, dispose of or enter into any other arrangements, or take any other Remedy Action with respect to, their businesses, product lines, assets or operations pursuant to this Section 5.04 or any other provision of this Agreement, and the “reasonable best efforts” of Parent shall not include taking any of the Remedy Actions.

(d) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.04, Parent and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to), to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) give each other prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry or Proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions, (ii) keep each other reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry or Proceeding, (iii) promptly inform each other of any material communication (and provide each other with copies of all written communications) to or from any Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions, (iv) consult and cooperate with each other in good faith in connection with any meetings or oral communications, formal or informal, with any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law or such Governmental Entity, provide each other with advance notice and an opportunity to attend and participate in all such meetings and oral communications and (v) consult and cooperate with each other in good faith in connection with, and provide each other with reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon (and each will consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with), any filing, registration, declaration, notice, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion, proposal or other communication, oral or written, made or submitted to any Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions; provided, that materials provided to another party pursuant to this Section 5.04 may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Transaction or any portion thereof, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual obligations or applicable Law, or (C) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns; and provided further that the party providing such materials may, as such party determines is reasonably necessary, designate the materials as “Outside Counsel Only,” and such materials (and the information contained therein) shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to any other Person unless express permission is obtained in advance from the party providing the materials or its legal counsel.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall (i) apply to or restrict communications or other actions by Purchaser, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates (including any Group Company) with or with respect to Governmental Entities, to the extent such communication or other actions are unrelated to the Transactions, or (ii) give Purchaser, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the Business or any Group Company prior to the Closing. The obligations of the parties set forth in Sections 5.04(a) through (e), and not any other provision of this Agreement (including Sections 5.04(f) and 5.04(g)), shall be the parties’ sole obligations with respect to the subject matter thereof.

(f) Prior to the Closing, each party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts (at its own expense) to obtain, and to cooperate in obtaining, all Consents from Persons (other than any Governmental Entity) necessary or appropriate to permit, or otherwise triggered by, the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that the parties (and their respective Affiliates) shall not be required to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation or grant any concession in favor of) any such Person (other than committing to pay the reimbursement of such Person’s reasonable expenses in connection with obtaining such Consent).

(g) Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 5.04, from time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto, each other party hereto shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further actions, as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions.

SECTION 5.05 Expenses. Whether or not the Closing takes place, except as expressly set forth in any other provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

SECTION 5.06 Employee Matters. (a) No later than five (5) days prior to the Closing, Parent shall update the Business Employee List to reflect current census information and any changes made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Parent and its Affiliates shall take all such reasonable steps as are required to (i) transfer the employment of each individual who is a Business Employee, other than a TSA Employee, employed by Parent or an Affiliate of Parent (other than a Group Company) to a Group Company and (ii) transfer the employment of each employee of a Group Company who is not a Business Employee or who is a TSA Employee from the Group Companies to Parent or one of its Affiliates (other than a Group Company).

(b) For a period of 12 months following the Closing Date (or until the date of termination of employment of the relevant Continuing Employee, if sooner), Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to each Business Employee who is employed by any Group Company as of the Closing Date and who continues to be so employed as of immediately following the Closing Date (each such Business Employee, a “Continuing Employee”), (i) an annual base salary or wage rate (as applicable) and target short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding any equity or equity-based, change in control, transaction, retention or long-term incentive compensation opportunities), in each case, that are no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (subject to the same exclusions), (ii) employee benefits (excluding any equity or equity-based, nonqualified deferred compensation, severance, retention, short- and long-term incentive opportunities, change in control, transaction, defined benefit pension and post-employment welfare benefits or perquisites) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (subject to the same exclusions) under the Benefit Plans, in the case of the material Benefit Plans, as set forth on Section 3.14(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter and (iii) cash severance and termination benefits (excluding any severance or termination benefits in respect of equity, equity-based or long-term incentive awards) at the level that would have been applicable to such Continuing

Employee under the relevant severance and termination benefit plans, programs, policies, agreements or arrangements of the applicable Group Company, if any, set forth on Section 5.06(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, as in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing, except as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement or as required by applicable Law, each Continuing Employee shall cease to participate in any Benefit Plan sponsored by Parent (other than any Assumed Benefit Plan) as an active employee.

(d) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause each Group Company or Purchaser’s other Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to recognize, for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and paid time off and severance levels under all plans, programs and arrangements (excluding equity, equity-based or long-term incentive compensation arrangements) established or maintained by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, any Group Company) following the Closing for the Continuing Employees (the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”), each Continuing Employee’s service with Parent and its Affiliates (including any Group Company) and any of their respective predecessors prior to the Closing Date as if such service were with Purchaser or its Subsidiaries and to the same extent such service was recognized by Parent or its Affiliates under the corresponding Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided that no such recognition of service shall be required to the extent that it would result in a duplication of benefits or applies to any defined benefit pension plan.

(e) (i) From and after the Closing Date, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable Group Company or one of Purchaser’s other Subsidiaries to, assume, and indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates from, all liabilities, obligations, commitments, claims and losses relating to (A) the service of any current or former Business Employee, or any current or former employment candidate in respect of the Business, including any such liabilities, obligations, commitments, claims and losses related to employment, labor or compensation (including any claims incurred prior to the Closing, but not reported until following the Closing, for group medical, group dental, and group short-term disability benefits attributable to the Continuing Employees), but excluding pension, employee welfare and employee benefits, (B) each Assumed Benefit Plan and (C) the actual or constructive

termination of a current or former Business Employee’s employment, in each case, whether arising before, on or after the Closing (excluding any severance contemplated by clause (viii) of the definition of Indebtedness) (such liabilities, obligations, commitments, claims and losses, the “Transferred HR Liabilities”). Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Transferred HR Liabilities will not include any Excluded Liabilities.

(ii) Except as specifically provided in this Agreement (including with respect to the Transferred HR Liabilities), neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies) shall assume or be obligated to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, and Parent and its Affiliates (other than any of the Group Companies), as the case may be, will retain and remain liable to pay, perform and discharge when due, and indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies) from all employment, labor, compensation, pension, employee welfare and employee benefits related liabilities, obligations, commitments, claims and losses, including with respect to any Benefit Plan (other than an Assumed Benefit Plan), relating to each current and former employment candidate not in respect of the Business, employee or other individual service provider of Parent and its Affiliates (or any dependent or beneficiary of any such employee) (other than the Business Employees), that arise out of an event or events that occur at any time, including with respect to the Redundant Employees (except for such liabilities arising with respect to the employment by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries of any Redundant Employee pursuant to Section 5.06(n)). Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies) shall have or assume, and Parent and its Affiliates (other than any of the Group Companies) shall have and retain and indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies) for, any obligation or liability arising under, pursuant to or in connection with any of the Benefit Plans (other than an Assumed Benefit Plan) or, other than any Assumed Benefit Plan, any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement at any time sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Parent or any of its Affiliates or with respect to which Parent or any of its Affiliates has any current or contingent liability or obligation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any obligation or liability arising under or in respect of the Parent Equity Awards and any other equity or equity-based compensation or benefit arrangement maintained or sponsored by Parent or any of its Affiliates and any Taxes related thereto (except for any such Taxes to the extent included in the calculation of Change of Control Payments) and the Parent Defined Compensation Plan), other than obligations or liabilities arising out of claims incurred prior to the Closing, but not reported until following the Closing, for group medical, group dental, and group short-term disability benefits attributable to the Continuing Employees (collectively, the “Excluded Benefit Plan Liabilities”).

(f) No later than the date upon which the 401(k) Employees cease active participation in the Parent 401(k) Plan (whether upon the Closing or once the applicable service under the Transition Services Agreement is terminated) (the “401(k) Transition Date”), Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable Group Company or Purchaser’s other Subsidiaries to, have in effect one or more defined contribution plans that each include a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code that will provide benefits to Continuing Employees participating in Parent’s 401(k) Plan as of the 401(k) Transition Date (“Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan”). Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall take all actions necessary to cause the Parent 401(k) Plan to fully vest, effective as of the Closing Date, the unvested account balances of the Continuing Employees under the Parent 401(k) Plan. If the 401(k) Transition Date constitutes a distributable event with respect to Parent’s 401(k) Plan for a Continuing Employee, then such Continuing Employee shall be given the opportunity to receive a distribution of his or her account balance (in cash, but also including any promissory notes for associated participant loans) from the Parent 401(k) Plan. Each Continuing Employee who is an active participant in the Parent 401(k) Plan as of the 401(k) Transition Date shall become eligible to participate in Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan as of the 401(k) Transition Date. If permitted under applicable Law, Purchaser agrees to cause Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan to allow each such Continuing Employee to make a “direct rollover” to Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan of the account balances of such Continuing Employee (in cash, but including a direct in-kind rollover of promissory notes evidencing any outstanding loans) under the Parent 401(k) Plan if such direct rollover is elected in accordance with applicable Law by such Continuing Employee. If a direct rollover is not so permitted, then Parent and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate to determine if a “trust-to-trust” transfer of the account balances of the applicable Continuing Employees is appropriate and desirable, and if so, Parent and Purchaser shall further reasonably cooperate to effect such transfer. Furthermore, if the 401(k) Transition Date occurs after the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, Parent shall make discretionary year-end matching contributions for the year in which the Closing occurs on behalf of any Continuing Employees who remain employed with Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including TSA Employees) through the date that service with Parent and its Affiliates was required for employees of Parent and its Affiliates to receive such matching contributions, provided that, Purchaser shall reimburse Parent for any such matching contributions so made.

(g) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, any Group Company) to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) waive any pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period under the Purchaser Benefit Plans that are group health, dental, and vision plans, to the same extent and for the same purposes as such pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period was waived or satisfied by the Continuing Employees (including their respective dependents and beneficiaries, if any) under the Benefit Plan that is a group health, dental and vision plan under the corresponding Benefit Plan or any plan, program, agreement, arrangement in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) during the plan year in which Continuing Employees cease to participate in the applicable Benefit Plan as a result of the Closing or pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, as applicable, provide credit for any coinsurance, deductibles or maximum out-of-pocket payments paid by Continuing Employees (including their respective dependents and beneficiaries, if any) prior to the Closing Date for the plan year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of satisfying all coinsurance, deductibles and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employees for the applicable plan year as if such amounts has been paid in accordance with the corresponding Purchaser Benefit Plan.

(h) Effective as of the Closing Date, Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) shall assume or retain, as applicable, and indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) from and against, all liabilities and obligations arising under or in respect of the Parent Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (the “Parent Deferred Compensation Plan”) with respect to the Business Employees that participate in the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Participating Business Employees”), including the obligation to pay any amounts payable under the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan to such Participating Business Employees prior to, on or after the Closing Date (all such assumed or retained liabilities and obligations, collectively, the “DCP Obligations”) in accordance with such Participating Business Employees’ deferral elections; provided that Parent and its Affiliates shall take all necessary actions, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, to cause each Participating Business Employee to cease active participation in the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan, effective no later than immediately prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, in addition to the DCP Obligations, Parent and its Affiliates shall assume or retain, as applicable, all liabilities, obligations and commitments under the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan with respect to any former employee of, or service provider to, the Business or any other Person who participates in the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan and their respective beneficiaries, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) shall have or assume any obligation or liability arising under or in respect of the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan.

(i) To the extent any of the terms and conditions of employment set forth in Sections 5.06(b), 5.06(c), 5.06(d) or 5.06(g) conflict with those in the Collective Bargaining Agreements applicable to any Business Employee who is represented by a labor union, works council, or other labor organization, the terms and conditions of employment set forth in such Collective Bargaining Agreements shall govern for those Business Employees. Prior to the Closing, Parent and its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) shall take all steps, on a timely basis, as are required under applicable Law or any Collective Bargaining Agreement, to satisfy any notice, information, consultation or bargaining obligations owed to the Business Employees, TSA Employees and their representatives (including any labor union, works council or other labor organization, labor board or employee group) and any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions, including, in respect of the Shared Union Business Employees, using reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable labor unions to execute a memorandum of understanding or similar agreement recognizing the continued application of the Shared CBAs to the Shared Union Business Employees until the expiration or termination of each such agreement or execute a new collective bargaining agreement with the appropriate Group Company in respect of such Shared Union Business Employees (collectively, the “Collective Bargaining Obligations”). Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiary shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and its Affiliates in respect of the Collective Bargaining Obligations. To the extent required in order to comply with applicable Law or ensure the ability of the Continuing Employees to continue to provide services to the Business, Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiary or one of the Group Companies shall become a party to any Collective Bargaining Agreement with respect to any Continuing Employee currently covered by the Shared CBAs; provided that, Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiary may replace employee benefit plans sponsored by Parent with alternative plans providing comparable benefits in the aggregate so long as Purchaser commences such discussions with the applicable union in respect of such alternative benefit plans (i) following the Closing or (ii) prior to the Closing with Parent’s prior written consent. In addition, Purchaser

shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including as of the Closing, the Group Companies) to, be responsible for all liabilities arising under any Collective Bargaining Agreement with respect to any Continuing Employee; provided, that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) shall be liable or otherwise responsible for any liabilities arising from the (A) Collective Bargaining Obligations owed prior to the Closing, subject to Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiary’s compliance in connection therewith pursuant to this Section 5.06(i) or (B) the Shared CBAs in respect of any current or former employees covered by the Shared CBAs who are not Business Employees or that are otherwise not related to the Business. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to join any industrial, employer or similar association or federation solely to the extent membership is required for the Collective Bargaining Agreements currently applicable to Continuing Employees to continue to apply following the Closing.

(j) Following the date hereof, including following the Closing, the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate in all matters reasonably necessary to ensure the proper administration of any compensation and benefit plans, including the Benefit Plans, including by exchanging information and data relating to the Business Employees (except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law).

(k) Nothing contemplated by this Section 5.06 shall be construed as (i) conferring upon any Person (including any Continuing Employee or TSA Employee), other than the parties hereto, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, (ii) establishing, or constituting an amendment, modification or termination of, or an undertaking to amend, establish, modify or terminate, any Benefit Plan, Purchaser Benefit Plan, or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (iii) requiring Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to be obligated to continue the employment of any Continuing Employee or TSA Employee for any period of time after the Closing Date or (iv) altering or limiting the rights of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee or TSA Employee or to amend, modify or terminate any Benefit Plan, Purchaser Benefit Plan, or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

(l) Prior to the Closing, and subject to Purchaser’s reasonable assistance as reasonably requested, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary to enable any Business Employee who requires a visa, green card or similar application in order to work for the Business in his or her current position to continue to work in such position as a Continuing Employee on the Closing Date.

(m) Effective as of the final Applicable Termination Date (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) for all Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) supported by a TSA Employee, or such earlier date as agreed by Parent and Purchaser, Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries (including one of the Group Companies) shall offer employment to such TSA Employee that complies with the Offer Conditions, and such TSA Employee shall cease to be an active employee of Parent and its Affiliates. An offer of employment satisfies the “Offer Conditions” if it: (i) is not reasonably expected to trigger any severance obligations under any Benefit Plan (and Parent shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to provide the information necessary to avoid any such obligations); (ii) provides for a

comparable position at the same or a nearby geographic work location; and (iii) otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 5.06(b) as if the offeree was a Continuing Employee, or if such offer is for initial employment following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, provides for a base salary and target short-term cash incentive compensation opportunity that are each no less favorable than those provided by Parent and its Affiliates as of immediately prior to such offer. In the case of any TSA Employee who becomes an employee of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Group Companies) pursuant to this Section 5.06(m), all references in Sections 5.06(d), (e), (g), (i) and (l) to the “Closing” or the “Closing Date” shall be deemed to be references to the day on which such individual becomes an employee of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries. Parent and its Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each TSA Employee who receives an offer of employment pursuant to this Section 5.06(m) to accept such offer in accordance with its terms; provided that, the foregoing shall not require Parent and its Affiliates to offer any additional compensation.

(n) If, following the Closing and prior to the termination of the Transition Services Agreement, Parent determines that an employee of Parent or one of its Affiliates (other than the TSA Employees) will, following the termination of any of the Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement), no longer have a role with Parent and its Affiliates (a “Redundant Employee”), then: (i) Parent shall so notify Purchaser regarding such Redundant Employee; (ii) Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries may, but is not obligated to, offer employment to such Redundant Employee, provided that any offer of employment shall satisfy the Offer Conditions; and (iii) Parent and its Affiliates shall waive their rights under Section 5.12(b) with respect to such Redundant Employee. Neither Purchaser nor its Subsidiaries (including the Group Companies) shall be responsible or otherwise liable for any obligations or liabilities arising under any claims related to the employment by Parent or its Affiliates of any Redundant Employee or their termination therefrom or any payments or entitlements due and owing to any Redundant Employee relating to the termination of their employment by Parent or its Affiliates.

SECTION 5.07 Tax Matters. (a) Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes. Purchaser and Parent agree that:

(i) In the case of any Pre-Closing Separate Return that is required by applicable Law to be filed on or before the Closing Date, Parent shall (x) timely file, or cause to be filed, such Pre-Closing Separate Return with the relevant Taxing Authority and (y) timely pay, or cause to be paid, to the relevant Taxing Authority the amount shown as due on such Pre-Closing Separate Return.

(ii) In the case of any Pre-Closing Separate Return that is required by applicable Law to be filed (taking into account applicable extensions) after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the sole right to prepare, or cause to be prepared, such Pre-Closing Separate Return. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) Parent shall prepare all Tax Returns of the Parent Consolidated Group, (B) in no event shall Parent be required to provide any Person with any Tax Return or copy of any Tax Return of (I) Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies and any portions of a Tax Return filed with respect to a Group Company or the Business) or (II) a Parent Consolidated Group (other than a

portion of a Tax Return of a Parent Consolidated Group that relates solely to a Group Company or the Business) and (C) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have any rights (pursuant to this Section 5.07 or otherwise) with respect to any Proceeding relating to Taxes or any Tax Return of (I) Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) or (II) a Parent Consolidated Group; provided, that, to the extent the resolution or settlement of any such Proceeding would reasonably be expected to materially impact a Pre-Closing Separate Return, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to notify Purchaser of such resolution or settlement promptly, and such notice shall include sufficient detail of such resolution or settlement so as to allow the Purchaser to, or cause the Group Companies to, file, re-file or amend any Pre-Closing Separate Returns required to reflect the result of such resolution or settlement.

(b) Cooperation. Parent and Purchaser shall fully and timely cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to fully and timely cooperate, as reasonably requested by the other party in preparing and filing Tax Returns of any Group Company or related to the Business and conducting any Proceeding relating to Taxes of a Group Company or the Business, including by maintaining and making available to each other any records necessary in connection with any Tax Return of a Group Company or any Tax dispute or audit relating to Taxes of a Group Company. Purchaser and Parent shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, (i) retain until 60 calendar days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (or such later date as required by applicable Law) all accounting and Tax records and information that may be relevant to any Tax Return of a Group Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and (ii) allow each other and their Affiliates, agents and representatives, at the requesting party’s expense and at times and dates mutually acceptable to the parties, to inspect, review and make copies of such records and information as Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, may reasonably need from time to time in connection with Tax compliance.

(c) Tax Sharing Agreements. Parent shall cause all Tax sharing or indemnification agreements (other than commercial agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business the primary purpose of which is not the allocation or sharing of Taxes) between or among any Person including Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Group Company), on the one hand, and any Group Company, on the other hand, to terminate on or before the Closing Date and neither Purchaser not any of the Group Companies or their respective Affiliates shall have any obligations thereunder after the Closing.

(d) Section 336 Elections.

(i) At the request and at the sole discretion of Purchaser, Parent and Purchaser will make an election under Section 336(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and under any comparable provision of applicable state or local Law (collectively, the “Section 336(e) Elections”) with respect to the indirect acquisition of the Equity Interests of each of Fire Systems International, Inc., Century Sprinkler Holdings Corporation, Chain Electric Holdings, Inc. and ASG International Inc. (together, the “Section 336(e) Group Companies”) pursuant to this Agreement. To effect such Section 336(e) Elections,

(1) upon request from Purchaser, Parent shall enter into a written, binding agreement with each of the Section 336(e) Group Companies (each such agreement, a “Section 336(e) Agreement”) to make the Section 336(e) Elections, in the form of Exhibit D as required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h)(1)(i); (2) Parent shall retain a copy of each Section 336(e) Agreement, as required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h)(1)(ii); (3) Parent shall prepare the Section 336(e) statements required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h)(1)(iii) and cause such statements to be attached to the consolidated federal income Tax Return (and any corresponding state or local income Tax Returns) of the Parent Consolidated Group for the Tax year that includes the Closing Date; and (4) Parent shall provide a copy of the Section 336(e) statements described in clause (3) to each of the Section 336(e) Group Companies, as applicable, on or before the due date (including extensions) for filing such consolidated federal income Tax Return (and any corresponding state or local income Tax Returns) for the Tax year that includes the Closing Date, as required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h)(1)(iv). Parent and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) (A) take all necessary steps (including the timely filing of all required Tax Returns) to properly make and preserve the Section 336(e) Elections in accordance with applicable federal income Tax Law (and any corresponding provisions under applicable state or local Law); and (B) report the purchase of the Section 336(e) Group Companies consistent with such Section 336(e) Elections and not take any position contrary thereto or action that could cause the Section 336(e) Elections to be invalid.

(ii) In connection with the Section 336(e) Elections, if made at Purchaser’s election, Purchaser shall pay to Parent (on Seller’s behalf), an amount of additional consideration (the “Tax Amount”) as being necessary to cause the proceeds received by Parent solely from the sale of the stock of the Section 336(e) Group Companies pursuant to this Agreement and accompanying Section 336(e) Elections, after the payment of all U.S. federal and state income taxes related thereto, to be equal to the net proceeds that Parent would have received with respect to such sale, after the payment of all U.S. federal and state income taxes related thereto, had the Section 336(e) Elections not been made.

(iii) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Statement becomes final in accordance with Section 1.04, Parent shall submit to Purchaser a proposed calculation of the Tax Amount calculated (and showing reasonable detail) in accordance with the terms of Section 5.07(d)(ii). No more than thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of Parent’s calculation of the Tax Amount, Purchaser shall deliver to Parent Purchaser’s comments, if any, in writing with respect to the Tax Amount as calculated by Parent (and any disagreement Purchaser may have with such calculation). Parent shall consider Purchaser’s written comments in good faith. If a dispute arises between the parties with regard to the amount of the Tax Amount, Purchaser and Parent shall consult in good faith with respect to specific points of disagreement in an effort to resolve the dispute. If Purchaser and Parent are unable to resolve all disagreements within fourteen (14) days after the dispute arose, such disagreement shall be referred to a nationally recognized accounting firm that is mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Parent (the “Tax Accounting Firm”). Absent

manifest error, determinations made by the Tax Accounting Firm with respect to any such disagreement shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Parent for all purposes under this Agreement. Each of Purchaser and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Tax Accounting Firm to render its determination within twenty (20) days after referral of such disagreement to the Tax Accounting Firm, and each shall cooperate with the Tax Accounting Firm and shall provide the Tax Accounting Firm with reasonable access to its books, records, personnel and representatives and such other information as the Tax Accounting Firm may require in order to render its determination. Promptly following the determination of the Tax Amount pursuant to this Section 5.07(d)(iii), Purchaser shall notify Parent of its decision to make or not make the Section 336(e) Elections, and to the extent Purchaser has elected to make the Section 336(e) Elections, Purchaser shall pay the Tax Amount to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Parent.

(e) Tax Certificates. Parent shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing (i) a duly executed copy of IRS Form W-9 from Seller (or Seller’s regarded parent entity if Seller is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and (ii) the Section 336(e) Agreements contemplated by Section 5.07(d).

(f) Purchase Price Allocation. The Purchase Price (plus any items to the extent properly taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code) shall be allocated among the assets of the Group Companies properly treated as acquired for Tax purposes pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with Sections 1060 and 336(e) of the Code, as applicable, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Purchase Price Allocation”) in accordance with Exhibit E. Within 90 calendar days after the Closing Statement becomes final, Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Price Allocation to Parent. Parent shall have the right to review and raise any objections in writing to the Purchase Price Allocation during the 20-day period after receipt thereof. If Parent does not raise any objections in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.07(f), Parent shall be deemed to have agreed to the Purchase Price Allocation and the Purchase Price Allocation shall become the final Purchase Price Allocation. If Parent raises an objection in writing in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.07(f), the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If Purchaser and Parent are able to finally agree on a purchase price allocation pursuant to this Section 5.07(f), that allocation shall be the “Final Purchase Price Allocation”. If Purchaser and Parent are unable to reach a timely agreement regarding the Purchase Price Allocation, each party shall be entitled to adopt its own position regarding the Purchase Price Allocation with no responsibility or liability with respect to the other party’s position. If the Final Purchase Price Allocation is agreed, Purchaser and Parent agree to (x) be bound by the Final Purchase Price Allocation, (y) act in accordance with the Final Purchase Price Allocation in the preparation of financial statements and filing of all Tax Returns (including with respect to IRS Form 8594 and IRS Form 8883) and (z) take no position inconsistent with the Final Purchase Price Allocation on any Tax Return unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The parties shall, in good faith, make adjustments to the Final Purchase Price Allocation as necessary to account for any adjustments to the Purchase Price. In the event that any Taxing Authority disputes the Final Purchase Price Allocation, Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly notify the other party in writing of the nature of such dispute.

(g) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes imposed or levied by reason of, in connection with or attributable to this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be borne solely by Purchaser. Purchaser and Parent shall reasonably cooperate to prepare and timely file any Tax Returns relating to such Transfer Taxes and timely pay all such Transfer Taxes.

(h) Closing Date; Straddle Periods. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent permitted or required by appliable Law, the taxable year of each Group Company that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be treated as ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A). In the case of any Taxes that are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax related to the portion of such Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes) be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on and included the Closing Date based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the day on the Closing Date. In the case of clause (ii), exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions computed as if the Closing Date was the last day of the Straddle Period) shall be allocated between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period thereafter in proportion to the number of days in each such portion.

(i) Transaction Expenses and Change of Control Payments. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, deductions attributable to Transaction Expenses and Change of Control Payments (collectively, “Transaction Tax Deductions”) shall be attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

SECTION 5.08 Publicity. No press release or other public announcement concerning the Transactions shall be issued by a party or such party’s Affiliates without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such press release or public announcement may be required by applicable Law, Judgment or any Governmental Entity, in which case the party required to make the press release or public announcement shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment thereon in advance of such issuance and the disclosing party shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments provided by the other party. The parties agree that any press releases to be issued with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be in the form, of substance and with timing agreed upon by Xxxxxx and Purchaser (the “Announcements”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Section 5.08 shall not apply to any press release or other public announcement made by any of the parties hereto which (i) is consistent with the Announcements and the terms of this Agreement and does not contain any information relating to Parent, Purchaser, the Group Companies or any of their respective Affiliates that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) is made in the ordinary course of business and does not relate specifically to this Agreement or the Transactions, (b) each of Parent and Purchaser may make internal announcements to their

respective employees that are consistent with the parties’ prior public disclosures regarding the Transactions and (c) Purchaser and its Affiliates and any of their respective affiliated funds or management entities and Representatives may provide information to Purchaser’s current or prospective investors (including limited partners of investment funds affiliated Purchaser and/or its Affiliates) and/or Lenders (and their respective Representatives) regarding the subject matter and terms of this Agreement in connection with their respective fundraising, marketing, informational, transactional and/or reporting activities, in each case, without any required approval by any party hereto, so long as the recipients of such information are bound by customary confidentiality obligations with respect to such information.

SECTION 5.09 Names Following Closing. From and after the Closing, except as expressly provided in this Section 5.09 or in the Brand Licensing Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, following the termination or expiration of the Brand Licensing Agreement (including any post-termination wind-down periods thereunder), Purchaser shall cause each Group Company to, as applicable, (i) change its legal name to remove any reference to the Names, (ii) file in each jurisdiction in which each Group Company is qualified to do business all documents necessary to reflect such change of name or to terminate its qualification in such jurisdiction under such name and (iii) promptly thereafter, provide documentation to Parent evidencing such name changes and filings. Purchaser acknowledges that it has no rights or interests, and is not acquiring any rights or interests, directly or indirectly, through the Group Companies or otherwise, to use the Names, except as expressly provided herein or in the Brand Licensing Agreement.

SECTION 5.10 Records. (a) Purchaser recognizes that certain records of the Group Companies may contain information relating to Subsidiaries, divisions and businesses of Parent and its Affiliates other than the Group Companies, and that Parent and its Affiliates may retain copies thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, all books, records and other documents pertaining to the Group Companies’ businesses that relate to the period prior to the Closing Date (including historical financial statements) will be retained by the Group Companies.

(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to, retain, for at least seven years after the Closing Date, all books, records and other documents pertaining to the Group Companies’ businesses that relate to the period prior to the Closing Date, except for Tax Returns and related documentation which shall be governed by Section 5.07(a)(ii), and to make the same available after the Closing Date for inspection and copying by Parent, upon reasonable notice during regular business hours and upon reasonable request (i) for purposes of satisfying or complying with applicable Law, any Judgment or applicable Tax, financial reporting, accounting, auditing or regulatory requirements or (ii) in connection with a Proceeding brought by a Governmental Entity or other third party against Parent or any of its Affiliates. Purchaser shall also, and shall cause the Group Companies to, make reasonably available Purchaser’s or its Subsidiaries’ personnel (including, after the Closing, personnel of the Group Companies) during regular business hours to assist in locating such records and make reasonably available Purchaser’s or its Subsidiaries’ personnel (including personnel of the Group Companies) whose assistance or participation is reasonably required by Parent or its Representatives in anticipation of, or preparation for, existing or future actions or tax proceedings by a Governmental Entity, provided, however, that Parent and its representatives shall conduct any such permitted activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with

the business or operations of Purchaser and the Group Companies or any of their Affiliates; provided further, however, that none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies after the Closing) shall be required to provide such access if Purchaser determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so could (x) violate applicable Law or an applicable Judgment or (y) jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or other legal privilege (it being understood that Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such access in a manner that does not violate any such Law or Judgment or jeopardize any such privilege or protection), provided, that in the event Purchaser does not disclose information due to the foregoing matters, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to seek alternative means to disclose such information to the maximum extent possible, including by entering into a joint defense or similar agreement. Nothing in this Section 5.10(b) shall be construed to require Purchaser or any of its Representatives to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals or opinions that are not readily available (it being understood that Purchaser shall not be required to prepare any financial projections, forecasts or any other prospective or pro forma financial information).

SECTION 5.11 Non-Solicitation.

Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Purchaser on the Closing Date resignation letters of such members of the board of directors (or comparable governing body) of each Group Company and officers of each Group Company, such resignation letters to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and conditioned upon, and effective concurrently with, the Closing.

SECTION 5.17 Notification. Parent shall give prompt notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to Parent, of (a) the breach or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to be true and correct will or is reasonably likely to result in the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(a) or Section 6.03(a) becoming incapable of being satisfied or becoming materially delayed in being satisfied, or (b) the failure by it to perform or comply with or the material delay of the performance or compliance with in any material respect any obligation or covenant to be performed or complied with by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement; provided further, however, that any failure by a party to provide such notification shall not be deemed to result in a breach of any covenant or agreement of such party hereunder (including this Section 5.17) (it being understood that this proviso shall have no effect on whether the underlying facts, matters or circumstances otherwise result in a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Article II, Article III or Article IV).

SECTION 5.19 Shared Contracts. (a) From the date hereof until the date that is 12 months following the Closing Date, Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to work together (and, if necessary and desirable, to work with any third party to any Shared Contract) to divide, partially assign, modify or replicate (in whole or in part) the respective rights, properties, claims and obligations under and in respect of any Shared Contract, such that, following the Closing, (i) Purchaser, a Subsidiary of Purchaser or a Group Company is the beneficiary of the rights, properties and claims and is responsible for the obligations related to the portion of such Shared Contract related to the Business (the “Purchaser Portion”), which rights, properties and claims shall be an asset of and which obligations shall be a liability of Purchaser, a Subsidiary of Purchaser or a Group Company, and (ii) Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent (other than a Group Company) is the beneficiary of the rights, properties and claims and is responsible for the obligations related to such Shared Contract relating to the Parent Business (the “Parent Portion”), which rights, properties and claims shall be an asset of and which obligations shall be a liability of Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent (other than a Group Company). Nothing in this Agreement shall require the division, partial assignment, modification or replication of a Shared Contract, other than a Shared CBA (which, for this purpose, shall be governed by Section 5.06(i)), unless and until any necessary Consents are obtained or made, as applicable. If Parent and Purchaser or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, are not able to enter into an arrangement to divide, partially assign, modify or replicate (in whole or in part) the rights and obligations under and in respect of any such Shared Contract prior to the Closing (whether as a practical matter or as a result of any such division, assignment, modification or replication requiring the Consent of any Governmental Entity or other third party and such Consent has not been obtained or such other requirement has not been satisfied at or prior to the Closing), the Closing shall, subject to Section 1.02, nonetheless take place on the terms set forth herein and, thereafter and until the earlier of (x) the date that is 12 months following the Closing and (y) the date on which the division, partial assignment, modification or replication of such Shared Contract is effected, Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate in any commercially reasonable arrangement to provide that (1) Purchaser, a Subsidiary of Purchaser or a Group Company shall receive the interest in the benefits, rights, properties, claims and obligations of the Purchaser Portion under and in respect of such Shared Contract and (2) Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent (other than a Group Company) shall receive the interest in the benefits, rights, properties, claims and obligations of the Parent Portion under and in respect of such Shared Contract. Parent and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to not, amend, modify or terminate any such Shared Contract in a manner adverse to the Business or the Parent Business, respectively, in any material respect without the consent of Purchaser or Parent, respectively (other than any termination that occurs as a result of the expiration of the applicable term of any such Shared Contract in accordance with the terms of such Shared Contract).

(b) Nothing in this Section 5.19 shall require either Parent or Purchaser nor any their respective Affiliates to contribute capital, pay or grant any consideration or concession in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person (other than the reimbursement of such Person’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees). For avoidance of doubt, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees shall not include any purchase price, license fee or other payment or consideration for the procurement of any asset secured to replace an asset in the course of Parent’s or Purchaser’s obligations under Section 5.19(a).

SECTION 5.20 Replacement of Credit Support Obligations. (a) With respect to any Credit Support Obligations pursuant to which Parent, its Subsidiaries (other than the Group Companies) or third parties on behalf of Parent provide credit support to the Business or the Group Companies, including those set forth in Section 5.20(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, Purchaser agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide replacement guarantees, letters of credit, surety bonds or other assurances of payment, and Purchaser and Parent shall cooperate to obtain any necessary release of Parent, its Subsidiaries and any such third party guarantor, effective as of the Closing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Parent with respect to all such Credit Support Obligations. If Purchaser has not obtained the complete and unconditional release of Parent and its Subsidiaries and any such third party guarantor from any such Credit Support Obligation (each such Credit Support Obligation, until such time as such Credit Support Obligation is so released and to the extent related to the Group Companies or the Business, a “Parent Continuing Credit Support Obligation”), then (i) until such release is obtained, (A) Purchaser shall continue to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly the complete and unconditional release of Parent, its Subsidiaries and any such third party guarantor from each Parent Continuing Credit Support Obligation and (B) Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Group Companies) shall agree not to renew, extend the term of, increase the obligations under or transfer to a third party any Contract pursuant to which the Business or the Group Companies may be liable under any Parent Continuing Credit Support Obligation and (ii) any demand or draw upon, or withdrawal from, any Parent Continuing Credit Support Obligation or any cash or other collateral required to be posted in connection with or in the place of any Parent Continuing Credit Support Obligation and the carrying costs of any cash or other collateral, the fronting fee costs and any other out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses resulting from a Parent Continuing Credit Support Obligation (“Assumed Credit Support Obligations”) shall be deemed liabilities of Purchaser. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify Parent against, and hold it harmless from, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, including reasonable and documented third party legal fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) suffered or incurred by Parent and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, equityholders, agents and representatives to the extent arising or resulting from the Assumed Credit Support Obligations.

(b) With respect to any Credit Support Obligations pursuant to which the Group Companies provide credit support to Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Group Companies), including those set forth in Section 5.20(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, Parent agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide replacement guarantees, letters of credit, surety bonds or other assurances of payment, and Purchaser and Parent shall cooperate to obtain any necessary release of the Group Companies, effective as of the Closing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Parent with respect to all such Credit Support Obligations. If Parent has not obtained the complete and unconditional release of the Group Companies from any such Credit Support Obligation (each such Credit Support Obligation, until such time as such Credit Support Obligation is so released, a “Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation”), then (i) until such release is obtained, (A) Parent shall continue to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly the complete and unconditional release of the Group Companies from each Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation and (B) Parent shall agree not to renew, extend the term of, increase the obligations under or transfer to a third party any Contract pursuant to which Parent or the Parent Business may be liable under any Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation and (ii) any demand or draw upon, or withdrawal from, any Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation or any cash or other collateral required to be posted in connection with or in the place of any Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation and the carrying costs of any cash or other collateral, the fronting fee costs and any other out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses resulting from a Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation (“Retained Credit Support Obligations”) shall be deemed liabilities of Parent. From and after the Closing, Parent shall indemnify Purchaser against, and hold it harmless from, any Loss suffered or incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, equityholders, agents and representatives to the extent arising or resulting from the Retained Credit Support Obligations.

any of the foregoing. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the other Purchaser Parties, expressly waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully waive, all rights pertaining to a general release of claims (including Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any provision of other state or federal Law), and affirms that it is releasing all known or unknown claims that it has or may have against any of the Parent Parties.

Parent, on behalf of itself and the other Parent Parties, expressly waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully waive, all rights pertaining to a general release of claims (including Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any provision of other state or federal Law), and affirms that it is releasing all known or unknown claims that it has or may have against any of the Purchaser Parties.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.21 shall release, waive, discharge, relinquish or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any party to the extent arising out of (i) this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Agreements or any other agreement entered into by a Parent Party or a Purchaser Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any matter between the Group Companies and any of their employees or advisors with respect to matters arising in connection with the management or operation of the Business that is unrelated to the Transactions (including under any employment agreement, non-competition agreement, co-investment, equity grant or other equity arrangement or Intellectual Property protection agreement), (iii) any matter arising in the ordinary course of business between a Parent Party and a Purchaser Party that is unrelated to both the Transactions and the ownership of the Business or any Group Company by any Parent Related Party or (iv) any claims with respect to Actual Fraud.

Effective as of the Closing, but subject to the occurrence of the Closing, (a) except for the Intercompany Accounts set forth on Section 5.22(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter and except as otherwise set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, the Brand Licensing Agreement or the Master RELAs, Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies), on the one hand, and the Group Companies, on the other hand, shall eliminate by payment, settlement, netting, capitalization, set off, cancellation, forgiving, release or otherwise any obligations or liabilities under the Intercompany Accounts between or among such parties, in each case, such that the Group Companies, on the one hand, and Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies), on the other hand, do not have any further liability to one another (and without any costs or other liabilities of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies)) in respect of such Intercompany Accounts following the Closing and (b) except for the Brand Licensing Agreement and any Contracts set forth on Section 5.22(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter and except as otherwise set forth in the Transition Services Agreement or the Master RELAs, the Affiliate Contracts shall be terminated in their entirety and shall be without further force or effect, without any further obligations or liabilities of Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies), on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Group Companies), on the other hand, following the Closing.

SECTION 5.23 Financing. (a) Purchaser shall use, and shall 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, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions set forth in the Financing Letters, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect and comply with the Financing Letters, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements providing for the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions set forth in the Financing Letters (or on terms and conditions not materially less favorable to Purchaser as determined in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser than the terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Letters), (iii) satisfy (and cause its Affiliates to satisfy) on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Purchaser and its Affiliates in the Financing Letters and the definitive agreements providing for the Financing that are within the control of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, (iv) consummate the Financing substantially concurrently with, or prior to, the Closing, including using its (and causing its Affiliates to use) reasonable best efforts (which shall include taking all reasonable actions that are within its control) to cause the Lenders and the other Persons committed to fund the Financing to fund the Financing at the Closing, and (v) enforce its rights and remedies (including through taking all reasonable actions that are within its control) under the Financing Letters and the definitive agreements providing for the Financing. Except as set forth herein, Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, agree to or permit any termination of or amendment or modification to be made to, or grant any waiver of any provision under, the Financing Letters if such termination, amendment, modification or waiver would (A)(1) reduce (or would have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing or (2) reduce the amount of the Debt Financing, in either case unless the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount no later than the date of such termination, amendment, modification or waiver such that the aggregate amount of the Financing is sufficient to consummate the Transactions on the Closing Date (after taking into account the available cash of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and other binding commitments in favor of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries), including the payment of the

Purchase Price and all other amounts required to be paid by Purchaser in connection with the Transactions, (B) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the availability of the Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the Financing, or otherwise expand, amend or modify any other provision of the Financing Letters in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent or make less likely to occur the funding of the Financing (or the satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date in any material respect or (C) materially and adversely impact the ability of Purchaser to enforce its rights and remedies against any other party to any Financing Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may amend any Debt Commitment Letter and Redacted Fee Letter to add lenders, purchasers, investors, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or other financing sources who had not executed such Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement and, in connection therewith, amend the additional lender, purchasers, investors, lead arrangers, bookrunners or syndication agents provisions with respect to the appointment of such additional lenders, purchasers, investors, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or other financing sources. Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Parent copies of any termination, amendment, modification or waiver to or under any Financing Letter. Purchaser will fully pay, or cause to be paid, all commitment and other fees under or arising pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter as and when they become due, earned and payable.

(b) Upon written reasonable request by Xxxxxx, Purchaser shall keep Parent informed of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing and provide to Parent copies (including drafts) of the material definitive agreements providing for the Debt Financing. Purchaser shall give Parent prompt written notice of (i) any actual breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Letter of which Purchaser becomes aware, (ii) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing source with respect to any (A) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Letter of any provisions of the Financing Letters or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Financing Letter (but excluding any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Debt Financing), in each case, to the extent such breach, default, termination, repudiation, dispute or disagreement would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the funding of the Financing in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions on the Closing Date and (iii) the occurrence of an event or development that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact the ability of Purchaser to obtain all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Financing Letters on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by any Financing Letter (or if at any time for any other reason Purchaser believes that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Financing Letters on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by any Financing Letter). As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within two Business Days of the date Parent delivers to Purchaser a written request, Purchaser shall provide any information reasonably requested by Parent relating to any circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate or waive any attorney-client or other privilege, constitute attorney work product or violate or contravene any law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality (not created in contemplation hereof) binding on Purchaser. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, or if Purchaser becomes aware of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to

make any portion of the Debt Financing unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, Purchaser shall (x) promptly notify Parent in writing and (y) use reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain in replacement thereof, and negotiate and enter into a debt commitment letter or definitive agreements providing for, alternative debt financing from alternative debt sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions (when taken together with the Equity Financing, the available cash of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and other binding commitments in favor of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries) on terms and conditions not materially less favorable to Purchaser (or its Affiliates) than the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event or circumstance (but no later than the date Purchaser is required to consummate the Closing in accordance with this Agreement); provided that the failure to obtain alternative debt financing shall not relieve Purchaser of any obligations hereunder.

From and after the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to administer and seek

recovery for any and all Automobile or Workers Compensation Claims and General Liability Insurance Claims in accordance with its usual and customary practice (it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that the risk of collectability under the Parent Insurance Policies with respect any Automobile or Workers Compensation Claim or General Liability Insurance Claim shall be borne solely by Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies)).

Parent shall have the right to manage and control any and all Parent Claims, and shall be subrogated to all claims or rights of recovery that any of the Group Companies may have against third parties with respect to claims and losses in respect of the Parent Claims to the extent of any payments made by Parent in respect thereof.

Until the transfer of any such funds or assets are effected, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, preserve the value of, and hold in trust for the use and benefit of, Parent or its designated Affiliate, such funds or assets and provide to Parent or its designated Affiliate all of the benefits arising from such funds or assets and otherwise cause such funds or assets to be used as reasonably instructed by Parent or its designated Affiliate.

SECTION 5.30 Consents. If any approval, authorization, clearance or consent of, filing with, or granting or issuance of any license, order, waiver or permit by, any third party or Governmental Entity (other than Required Regulatory Approvals, which shall be governed by Section 5.04) that may be required in connection with the Transactions (including pursuant to the Pre-Closing Actions) (“Approvals”) to sell, assign or transfer any Material Contract is not obtained prior to Closing, the Closing shall, subject to Section 1.02, nonetheless take place on the terms set forth herein, and until such time as such Approval or Approvals are obtained and following the Closing, the parties hereto will cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to implement, at no (other than de minimis) cost to Parent or any of its Affiliates, any arrangement reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Parent intended to both (a) provide Purchaser, to the fullest extent practicable, the claims, rights and benefits of any such Material Contract and (b) cause Purchaser to bear all costs and liabilities thereunder from and after the Closing in accordance with this Agreement (including by means of any subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement). In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Purchaser will promptly pay, satisfy, perform and discharge when due any liability arising thereunder and will be responsible for all Assumed Liabilities related thereto in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 5.31 Restrictive Covenants. Prior to the Closing, Parent will use reasonable best efforts to assign to the Group Companies the rights of Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) under any non-disclosure, non-competition, non-solicitation, no-hire, non-disparagement, Intellectual Property assignment or similar agreement between Parent or its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies), on the one hand, and any current or former Business Employee, on the other hand, to the extent (a) such agreement was entered into with Parent or its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies), (b) with respect to assignments and agreements related to Intellectual Property, such rights pertain to (i) the Business and (ii) Group Company Intellectual Property and (c) such assignment is permissible under such agreements; provided that in no event shall Parent be obligated to enter into any new agreements with any individual Business Employee or to specifically identify all such Business Employees to satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.31. If it is not practical to assign the rights of Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) under such arrangements, Parent and Purchaser will cooperate in good faith to, at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser, enforce the rights of Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) under such arrangements on behalf of Purchaser and its Affiliates.

SECTION 5.32 Definitive Agreements. Parent shall promptly provide Purchaser with copies of all drafts of definitive agreements related to an acquisition of any business, entity or group of assets set forth on Section 5.01(a)(x) of the Parent Disclosure Letter for Purchaser’s review and comment, and all such documentation and any material decisions made with respect thereto shall be subject to the prior written consent of Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

SECTION 5.33 Further Assurances. In the event that any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, each of the parties hereto will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of further instruments and documents) as any other party hereto reasonably may request.

SECTION 5.34 Removal of Transition Services. Prior to the Closing and upon not less than 10 calendar days’ prior written notice (“Transition Services Termination Notice”), Purchaser shall be entitled to remove one or more transition services from the schedules of the Transition Services Agreement, in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason at all (such services set forth in the Transition Services Termination Notice, the “Termination Services”). Following Xxxxxx’s receipt of a Transition Services Termination Notice, Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to identify a list of all services that are dependent on the Termination Services (such dependent services, the “Dependent Services”). Parent shall, within 10 calendar days following its receipt of a Transition Services Termination Notice, identify and provide in a written notice to Purchaser the reasonably anticipated Termination Charges with respect to the termination of the Termination Services and the Dependent Services (such notice, the “Termination Notice Response”). Purchaser shall either (a) notify Parent within five calendar days after its receipt of the Termination Notice Response that Purchaser desires to remove the service and each Dependent Service, and such services shall be removed from the schedules of the Transition Services Agreement prior to Closing, or (b) notify Parent within five calendar days after its receipt of the Termination Notice Response that Purchaser does not request to remove the services identified in its Transition Services Termination Notice (or fail to timely send the notice referenced in clause (a)), in which case the Transition Services Termination Notice shall be deemed to be rescinded and the applicable Termination Services and Dependent Services shall remain on the schedules of the Transition Services Agreement. In the event of any removal of any transition service (in whole or in part) from the schedules of the Transition Services Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.34, Purchaser shall pay to Parent all Termination Charges with respect to such Termination Service and Dependent Services but solely if the Termination Charge arises under a Contract entered into by Parent following the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing. As used in this Section 5.34, “Termination Charges” shall have the meaning set forth in Exhibit A. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to minimize the Termination Charges.

SECTION 7.02 Effect of Termination. (a) If this Agreement is terminated and the Transactions are abandoned pursuant to Section 7.01, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, except for the following provisions which shall survive such termination:

(i) Section 5.03 (relating to the obligation of Purchaser to keep confidential certain information obtained by it);

(ii) Section 5.05 (relating to certain expenses);

(iv) subject to Section 7.03, Section 5.23(d) (relating to expense reimbursement and indemnification);

SECTION 7.03 Termination Fee. (a) In the event that Parent shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii) (but, solely if as a result of a breach of Section 5.23(a) by Purchaser, not before the Inside Date) or Section 7.01(a)(v), then Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent a termination fee of $80,625,000 in cash (the “Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days of such termination so long as Parent has provided Purchaser with wire instructions for such payment (or, otherwise, within one Business Day following receipt of such wire instructions), it being understood that in no event shall Purchaser be required to pay or cause to be paid the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(b) Each party hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.03 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the other parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Purchaser fails to timely pay or cause to be paid any amount due pursuant to Section 7.03(a), and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent commences a Proceeding which results in a judgment against Purchaser for the payment set forth in Section 7.03(a), Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Proceeding (such amounts, together

with the amounts payable by Purchaser with respect to the reimbursement obligations under Section 5.23(d), the “Collection Costs”); provided, that in no event shall the Collection Costs exceed an aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000. The Termination Fee, if, as and when required to be paid in accordance with Section 7.03(a), shall not constitute a penalty but represents liquidated damages. If the Termination Fee (including the Collection Costs, to the extent applicable, but in all instances, subject to the Cap) is paid in full, none of the Purchaser Related Parties will have any liability to any Person, including any Parent Related Party, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Financing or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at law, in tort, contract or otherwise, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any Law or otherwise.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01, the sole and exclusive monetary remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of Parent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) against Purchaser, the Guarantors or any of their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Purchaser Related Parties”) or the Lender Related Parties for all Losses in respect of or relating in any way to (i) any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Financing Letters, the Guarantee, the other Transaction Agreements and any other agreement, instrument, certificate or other document entered into between the parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Transactions (and the termination of this Agreement or failure to consummate any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Closing, the funding of the Debt Financing or the funding of any other monies hereunder)), (ii) any failure or threatened or attempted failure of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to comply with the obligations under the Transaction Agreements or any other agreement, certificate or other document entered into between the parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Transactions, (iii) any failure to consummate any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Closing, the funding of the Debt Financing or the funding of any other monies hereunder) or (iv) the Transaction Agreements, any other agreement, instrument, certificate or other document entered into between the parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Transactions or the failure of any of the Transactions to be consummated or the termination of this Agreement, in each case, including in any Proceeding under any legal theory, whether sounding in law (whether for breach of contract, in tort or otherwise) or in equity, in each case, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of Purchaser, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any Proceeding, by virtue of any Law, pursuant to any theory of law or equity (whether for breach of contract, in tort or otherwise) (such agreements and related matters, collectively, the “Transaction-Related Matters”) shall be to, solely to the extent payable in accordance with Section 7.03(a) and Section 7.03(b), receive payment of the Termination Fee (including the Collection Costs, to the extent applicable, but in all instances, subject to the Cap) (in each case, pursuant to this Agreement or the Guarantee); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all of such parties bound by the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain obliged pursuant to, and Parent will be entitled to seek remedies with respect to, the Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with its terms; provided further that nothing in this Section 7.03 shall impair the rights of Parent or its Affiliates to obtain specific performance pursuant to Section 8.05 prior to valid receipt of the Termination Fee in

circumstances where such fee is payable in accordance with Section 7.03(a). Following a termination of this Agreement, none of the Purchaser Related Parties or Lender Related Parties shall have any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever to Parent or any other Parent Related Party for any Transaction-Related Matter other than the payment of the Termination Fee to Parent to the extent payable pursuant to Section 7.03(b) and the Collection Costs to the extent payable pursuant to Section 7.03(b). Upon payment of the Termination Fee to Parent pursuant to Section 7.03(a) following a termination of this Agreement by Parent (solely to the extent payable in accordance herewith), no Parent Related Party shall be entitled to bring, and Parent shall cause all Parent Related Parties to not bring, and shall in no event support, facilitate, encourage or take any action other than opposing, the bringing of, any Proceeding against any Purchaser Related Party or Lender Related Party with respect to, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any Transaction-Related Matter or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Agreements and Parent shall cause any then pending Proceeding by any Parent Related Party against any such Purchaser Related Party or Lender Related Party to be dismissed with prejudice as promptly as practicable after such termination (and in no event later than three days following such termination). Further, following termination of this Agreement, under no circumstances shall (i) the maximum aggregate liability of Purchaser (and the Guarantors in accordance with, and subject to the limitations in, the Guarantee) for all Transaction-Related Matters exceed an amount equal to the sum of the Termination Fee, plus any Collection Costs (collectively, the “Cap”) or (ii) any Parent Related Party be entitled to recover any recovery or award or damages of any kind in excess of the Cap (including damages for the loss of the benefit of the bargain, opportunity cost, loss of premium, time value of money or otherwise, or any consequential, special, expectancy, indirect or punitive damages). While Parent may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 8.05 and the payment of the Termination Fee under Section 7.03(a), under no circumstances shall any Person or Persons (whether acting together or separately and whether in one or separate Proceedings), including any Parent Related Party, be permitted or entitled to receive both (i) a grant of specific performance to require the Equity Financing to be funded or that results in a Closing and (ii) the payment of the Termination Fee.

(d) This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Purchaser Related Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs and legal representatives. The parties agree that the Purchaser Related Parties are express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.03.

SECTION 8.05 Right to Specific Performance. (a) Subject to Section 8.05(b), the parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

(b) Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser Parties, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between or among, on the one hand, the Group Companies prior to the Closing and Parent and, on the other hand, their counsel (including Cravath) made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or Proceeding arising out of or relating to, this Agreement or the Transactions, or any matter relating to the foregoing, are privileged communications between Parent and such counsel and the expectation of client confidence belongs to, and shall be controlled by, Parent (notwithstanding that any Group Company participated in, was party to or was furnished such communications nor that any Group Company is also a client of such counsel), and from and after the Closing, neither Purchaser nor any Group Company nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Purchaser or any Group Company, will seek to obtain the same by any process. From and after the Closing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser Parties, waives and will not assert any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between Cravath, the Group Companies or Parent occurring prior to the Closing in connection with the Current Representation, and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Parent and shall be controlled by Parent and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser, any Group Company or any of their respective Affiliates. In connection with any dispute or Proceeding that may arise between Parent, on the one hand, and Purchaser or, after the Closing, any Group Company, on the other hand, Parent (and not Purchaser or any Group Company) will have the right to decide whether or not to waive any attorney-client privilege that may apply to any communications between Cravath and any Group Company that occurred before the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a dispute arises between Purchaser or the Group Companies, on the one hand, and a Person other than Parent (or any Affiliate thereof), on the other hand, after the Closing, the Group Companies may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Xxxxxxx to such Person; provided, however, that no Group Company may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Parent.

110

(c) In the event that any third party commences Proceedings seeking to obtain from Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, any Group Company) attorney-client communications involving Cravath in connection with the Current Representation, Purchaser shall promptly notify Parent in writing so as to permit Parent to participate in any such Proceedings.

SECTION 8.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by electronic image scan transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements, the Financing Letters, the Guarantee and the Confidentiality Agreement, along with the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto, contain the entire agreement and understanding among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. None of the parties shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any representations, warranties or covenants relating to such subject matter except as specifically set forth herein or in the other Transaction Agreements or the Confidentiality Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement, on the one hand, and the provisions of any of the other Transaction Agreements or the Confidentiality Agreement, on the other hand, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

SECTION 8.10 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid or enforceable, such provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 8.11 Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such New York Supreme Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such matter, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate courts thereof with respect to any appeals for the purposes of any suit,

111

action or other Proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or Proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 8.04 shall be effective service of process for any such suit, action or Proceeding.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each party hereto, on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries and each of its controlled Affiliates hereby: (i) agrees that any proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Lender Related Parties, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the agreements (including the Debt Commitment Letter) entered into in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, so long as such forum is and remains available, and any appellate court thereof and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (ii) agrees that any such proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, except as otherwise provided in the Debt Commitment Letter or other applicable definitive document relating to the Debt Financing, (iii) agrees not to bring or support or permit any of its controlled Affiliates to bring or support any proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Lender Related Party in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder in any forum other than any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, (iv) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such proceeding in any such court, (v) knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law trial by jury in any proceeding brought against the Lender Related Parties in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (vi) agrees that none of the Lender Related Parties will have any liability to any party hereto or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective controlled Affiliates or representatives (in each case, other than Purchaser and its Subsidiaries) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise and (vii) agrees that the Lender Related Parties are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions of Section 8.05(b), and that such provisions shall not be amended in any way adverse to the Lender Related Parties without the prior written consent of the Lender Related Parties.

112

SECTION 8.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS (INCLUDING ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE FINANCING, THE FINANCING LETTERS, THE DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS PROVIDING FOR THE FINANCING OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF).

SECTION 8.13 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all matters, claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Laws provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

SECTION 8.14 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Related Parties, that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had, and waives any rights or claims it may have, against any Person not a party hereto or thereto, including any past, present or future director, officer, partner, agent or employee of any past, present or future member of Purchaser, Parent, any Group Company or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, any Lender Related Parties or any Guarantor, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any past, present or future director, officer, partner, agent or employee of any past, present or future member of Purchaser, Parent, any Group Company or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such, or any Lender Related Party, for any obligation under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.14 shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of any Lender Related Parties’ obligations to Purchaser under the Debt Commitment Letter.

SECTION 8.15 Transferred Company Guarantee.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, and as a condition and inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Transferred Company hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Parent the observance, performance and discharge of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and any Transaction Agreement to which Purchaser is a party, in each case in accordance with and solely if, as and when required by the terms of this Agreement or any such Transaction Agreement (in each case, as this Agreement or any such Transaction Agreements may be amended or modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms) (the “Transferred Company Guaranteed Obligations”). All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds. The guarantee contained in this Section 8.15 (the “Transferred Company Guaranty”) is a continuing one and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Transferred Company Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, and will be binding upon the Transferred Company, its successors and permitted assigns.

113

(b) If for any reason Purchaser shall fail or be unable to duly and punctually pay or perform, or cause to be duly and punctually paid or performed, any of the Transferred Company Guaranteed Obligations as and when required pursuant to this Agreement or any such other Transaction Agreement, the Transferred Company shall duly and punctually pay or perform, or cause to be duly and punctually paid or performed, such Transferred Company Guaranteed Obligations. The Transferred Company further agrees that the Transferred Company Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and performance when due and not of collection and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to collect from Purchaser or any other person.

(c) The Transferred Company agrees that Parent may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of the Transferred Company, extend the time of payment of the Transferred Company Guaranteed Obligations without in any way impairing or affecting the Transferred Company Guaranteed Obligations. The Transferred Company agrees that the Transferred Company Guaranteed Obligations shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by:

(i) the failure of Parent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Purchaser;

(ii) the addition, substitution or release of any Person (other than Purchaser) interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement;

(iii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Purchaser, the Transferred Company or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement;

(iv) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Purchaser, the Transferred Company or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement; or

(v) the adequacy of any other means the Transferred Company may have of obtaining payment of the Transferred Company Guaranteed Obligations.

(d) The Transferred Company hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of the Transferred Company Guaranty and of the Transferred Company Guaranteed Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of the incurrence of any of the Transferred Company Guaranteed Obligations and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Purchaser and all suretyship defenses generally. The Transferred Company hereby waives any and all notice of or proof of reliance by Parent upon the Transferred Company Guaranty or acceptance of the Transferred Company Guaranty. The Transferred Company Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, will conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon the Transferred Company Guaranty, and all dealings between Purchaser or the Transferred Company, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, will likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the Transferred Company Guaranty.

114

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.15, Parent hereby agrees that (i) the Transferred Company may assert, as a defense to, or release or discharge of, any payment or performance by the Transferred Company under the Transferred Company Guaranty any claim, set-off, deduction, defense or release that Purchaser could assert against Parent or any other Person, as the case may be, under the terms of, or with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement and (ii) any failure by Parent or any other Person to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, including, without limitation, any breach by Parent of any representation, warranty or covenant contained therein or in any such Transaction Agreement (whether such breach results from willful misconduct, fraud, intentional misrepresentation or otherwise), that would relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement shall likewise automatically and without any further action on the part of any Person relieve the Transferred Company of the corresponding obligations under the Transferred Company Guaranty.

(f) Section 8.01, Section 8.02, Section 8.03, Section 8.05, Section 8.06, Section 8.07, Section 8.08, Section 8.09, Section 8.10, Section 8.11, Section 8.12, Section 8.13 and this Section 8.15 shall apply with respect to the Transferred Company and the Transferred Company Guaranty.

SECTION 8.16 Survival of Representations and Covenants. None of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby shall survive the Closing, except for (a) the covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part at or after the Closing, which covenants and agreements shall survive in accordance with their terms, and (b) the covenants and agreements in Section 5.07, which shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Subject to 8.17, except for (i) any specific enforcement remedy to which a party is entitled pursuant to Section 8.05, (ii) claims of, or causes of action arising from, related to or otherwise attributable to, Actual Fraud and (iii) claims arising from breach of the covenants and agreements included in this Agreement or in any Transaction Agreement to be performed fully or in part following the Closing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, equityholders, agents and representatives, on the one hand, and Parent, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, equityholders, agents and representatives, on the other hand, each agrees that it shall have no recourse after the Closing with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement.

SECTION 8.17 Limited Indemnification Obligations.

(a) Indemnification Obligations of Parent. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the Closing, Parent will indemnify the Purchaser Related Parties and save and hold each of them harmless against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such Purchaser Related Parties for any Losses (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third party claim) as and when incurred which any such Purchaser Related Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of, in connection with, relating to or by virtue of the Excluded Liabilities.

115

(b) Indemnification Obligations of Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the Closing, Purchaser will indemnify the Parent Related Parties and save and hold each of them harmless against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such Parent Related Parties for any Losses (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third party claim) as and when incurred which any such Parent Related Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of, in connection with, relating to or by virtue of the Assumed Liabilities.

(c) Purchase Price Adjustment Treatment. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, all indemnification payments made pursuant to this Section 8.17 will be treated as adjustments to the Final Closing Date Amount.

(d) Recoveries. The amount of any Loss suffered by a Purchaser Related Party or a Parent Related Party, as applicable, under this Agreement will be reduced by the amount, if any, of the cash recovery (net of reasonable attorney’s fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery, as well as the amount of any retrospective or other current increase in insurance premiums or related cost increases to the extent attributable to the payment of such recovery) that the Purchaser Related Party or the Parent Related Party, as applicable, has actually received (i) with respect thereto under any insurance policies (other than any representation and warranties insurance policy) or (ii) in prevailing party fees or attorney’s fees reimbursements from the counterparty to such indemnifiable matter.

(e) Exclusive Remedy.

(i) From and after the Closing, the remedies provided by this Section 8.17, subject to the limitations set forth herein, will be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchaser Related Parties for the recovery of Losses resulting from, relating to or arising out of the Excluded Liabilities as set forth in this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 1.04 and in the case of claims for Actual Fraud, or claims under the other documents and agreements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) and Purchaser hereby waives, and releases Parent from, all other remedies, whether common law or statutory or at equity, in respect of any Losses resulting from, relating to or arising out of such Excluded Liabilities. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.17 will limit or restrict the right or ability of Purchaser to maintain or recover any amounts in connection with any action or claims based upon, related to or otherwise attributable to Actual Fraud.

(ii) From and after the Closing, the remedies provided by this Section 8.17, subject to the limitations set forth herein, will be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parent Related Parties for the recovery of Losses resulting from, relating to or arising out of the Assumed Liabilities as set forth in this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 1.04 and in the case of claims for Actual Fraud, or claims under the

116

other documents and agreements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) and Parent hereby waives, and releases Purchaser from, all other remedies, whether common law or statutory or at equity, in respect of any Losses resulting from, relating to or arising out of such Assumed Liabilities. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.17 will limit or restrict the right or ability of Parent to maintain or recover any amounts in connection with any action or claims based upon, related to or otherwise attributable to Actual Fraud.

SECTION 8.18 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. In order for a Person (the “indemnified party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 8.17 in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any third Person against the indemnified party (including any applicable Taxes becoming due and payable to a Governmental Entity) (a “Third Party Claim”), such indemnified party must notify the party required to provide indemnification therefor (the “indemnifying party”) in writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Third Party Claim within 10 Business Days after receipt by such indemnified party of notice of the Third Party Claim or in the case of Escheat Liabilities that are first due and payable to a Governmental Entity after the Closing, within 10 Business Days after an applicable Tax Return is filed with a Governmental Entity; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, within five Business Days after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) Assumption. If a Third Party Claim is made against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided that the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) such Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal action, (ii) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the indemnified party, (iii) such Third Party Claim relates to Taxes, or (iv) upon petition by the indemnified party, the appropriate court rules that the indemnifying party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying party so elect in writing to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense. The indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the indemnified party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.18(a)). If the indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the indemnified parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such reasonable

117

cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party’s request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to testify and provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, provided, however, that the indemnified parties shall not be required to provide such access if the applicable indemnified party determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so could jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or other legal privilege (it being understood that the indemnified parties shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such access in a manner that does not jeopardize any such privilege or protection). Whether or not the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement, compromise or discharge releases the indemnifying party completely and irrevocably and would not result in (i) injunctive or other nonmonetary relief against the indemnifying party (other than customary confidentiality obligations), including the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the indemnifying party or (ii) a finding or admission of fault, guilt or misconduct by the indemnifying party or any of its Affiliates. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and which releases the indemnified party completely and irrevocably in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, without prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim on a basis that would result in (i) injunctive or other nonmonetary relief against the indemnified party (other than customary confidentiality obligations), including the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the indemnified party or (ii) a finding or admission of fault, guilt or misconduct by the indemnified party or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be precluded from filing any Tax Returns in respect of Escheat Liabilities that are due after the Closing Date and paying the Escheat Liabilities reported thereon to the applicable Governmental Entities.

(c) Other Claims. In the event any indemnified party should have a claim against any indemnifying party under Section 8.17 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against, imposed on or sought to be collected from such indemnified party, the indemnified party shall promptly deliver written notice of such claim (describing such claim in reasonable detail) to the indemnifying party; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. If the indemnifying party does not notify the indemnified party within 30 calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the indemnifying party disputes its liability to the indemnified party under Section 8.17, such claim specified by the indemnified party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying party under Section 8.17 and the indemnifying party shall pay the amount of such liability to the indemnified party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.
