(g) Any Shared Contract shall be assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Transferee only with respect to (and preserving the meaning of) those parts that are exclusively related to the Mortgage Servicing Platform, if so assignable, transferable or conveyable, or appropriately amended prior to, on or after the Closing, so that the Transferee shall be entitled to the rights and benefits of those parts of the Shared Contract that are exclusively related to the Mortgage Servicing Platform and the Transferee shall assume all burdens thereof and the related portion of any Liabilities, and the provisions of Section 2.8(a) through Section 2.8(f) shall apply to such Shared Contract, mutatis mutandis.

For purposes of this Section 2.10(b), (x) the “Consideration Adjustment” means Class A-1 Common Units representing nine percent (9%) of the Equity Consideration (including any additional Class A-1 Common Units issued pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (y) “Liquidity Event” means (i) a Sale of the Company (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Transferee) in which the aggregate proceeds (taking into account any escrows, holdback releases, earnouts and similar payments) to the Transferor or its Affiliates is less than the Base Platform Purchase Price or (ii) an Initial Public Offering (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Transferee) in which the aggregate proceeds (including marketable securities) to the Transferor or its Affiliates is less than the Base Platform Purchase Price; and (z) “Dividend” means the payment of any dividend or other distribution to the Members (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Transferee) of the Company (other than Tax Distributions (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Transferee) made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice). For U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income Tax purposes, the Parties intend that the Consideration Adjustment (including any adjustment thereto pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)) shall constitute an adjustment to the Equity Consideration, and the Parties shall take such positions on their Tax Returns to the maximum extent permitted by Law. If, between the Closing and the Measurement Date, the outstanding equity interests of the Transferee shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of equity interests or securities solely as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, split or other similar change in capitalization, a proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Consideration Adjustment to give Transferor and the other Transferring Entities the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed to permit the Transferee to take any action with respect to its securities or otherwise that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

With respect to any Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated without cause by the applicable employer entity during the Continuation Period, such Continuing Employee shall receive cash severance benefits that are no less favorable than the greater of (x) those severance benefits applicable to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date as disclosed in Section 5.9(c) of the Transferor Disclosure Schedules and (y) those provided under the Transferee’s severance plan, program, policy or practice (whether contractual or otherwise) on the date of such Continuing Employee’s termination.

(d) With respect to any employee benefit plan, program, arrangement, agreement, policy or commitment sponsored or maintained by the Transferee, in which any Continuing Employee participates on or after the Employee Transfer Date and in the plan year in which the Employee Transfer Date occurs, the Transferee shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) waive all pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees, except to the extent such pre-existing conditions, exclusions or waiting periods applied under the similar plan in effect immediately prior to the Employee Transfer Date; and (ii) provide each such Continuing Employee with credit for any copayments and deductibles paid (to the same extent such credit was given for the year under the similar plan in effect immediately prior to the Closing) in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements. The Transferee shall recognize all continuous service of the Continuing Employee with Transferor and its Affiliates for all purposes, including eligibility to participate, vesting credit and for entitlement to paid time off and severance benefits (but excluding benefit accrual under a final average pay defined benefit pension plan or an equity or equity-based plan, program or arrangement), under any benefit plan, program, arrangement, agreement, policy or commitment in which the Continuing Employee is eligible to participate as of the Employee Transfer Date to the same extent in all material respects and for the same purposes provided under the comparable Employee Benefit Plan; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits or compensation for the same period of service.

(e) Effective at the Employee Transfer Date, the Transferee shall make available a tax-qualified defined contribution plan or plans with a cash or deferred feature (the “Transferee 401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of Continuing Employees who, as of immediately prior to the Employee Transfer Date, were eligible to participate in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Transferor or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Transferor 401(k) Plans”). As soon as practicable after the Employee Transfer Date, the Transferor 401(k) Plans shall, to the extent permitted by Section 401(k)(10) of the Code, make distributions available to Continuing Employees, and the Transferee 401(k) Plan shall accept any such distribution (including loans) as a rollover contribution if so directed by the Continuing Employee.

(f) With respect to each Continuing Employee, the Transferee will or will cause its applicable Subsidiary to recognize and credit each Continuing Employee for any accrued but unused paid time off to the extent such accrued but unused paid time off is accrued for on the balance sheets of the Transferor provided to the Transferee, and the Transferee (or its applicable Subsidiary) shall allow each such Continuing Employee to use such paid time off in accordance with the terms of the Transferee’s (or its applicable Subsidiary’s) policies or programs. In the event that applicable law requires Transferor or its applicable Affiliate to make a payment to a Continuing Employee for such accrued, unused paid time off due to the termination of such Continuing Employee’s employment with Transferor or its applicable Affiliate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Transferee shall reimburse Transferor or its applicable Affiliate for such payment (but shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, be required to recognize and credit or assume the underlying paid time off).

-53-

(g) Except to the extent specifically assumed by the Transferee pursuant to this Section 5.9, the Employee Outsourcing and Transfer Agreement or the Local Transfer Agreement, the Transferor and its Affiliates shall retain the sponsorship of, and all Liabilities at any time arising under, pursuant to or in connection with any Employee Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, contract, agreement or arrangement at any time maintained, sponsored or contributed to by Transferor or any Transferring Entity or any of their Affiliates or with respect to which Transferor or any Transferring Entity or any of their Affiliates has any Liability (in all cases, other than Transferred Benefit Plans), and the Transferee shall assume all liabilities and obligations in respect of the Transferred Benefit Plans.

(h) Effective as of the Employee Transfer Date, the Transferee shall (i) assume, and become solely liable to satisfy all obligations with respect to, each long-term cash incentive award (each, a “Cash Award”) that is outstanding and held by a Continuing Employee as of the Employee Transfer Date and (ii) replace each award of restricted stock units relating to shares of Guarantor common stock (each, a “Guarantor RSU Award”) that is outstanding and held by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Employee Transfer Date, by granting to the Continuing Employee an equivalent cash-based award (a “Replacement Award”) with a value equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Guarantor common stock underlying the Guarantor RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Employee Transfer Date by (2) the closing price of a share of Guarantor common stock on the last trading day immediately preceding the Employee Transfer Date. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.9(h), each Cash Award and each Replacement Award shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, substantially the same vesting and forfeiture terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Cash Award or Guarantor RSU Award, as applicable, as of immediately prior to the Employee Transfer Date.

(i) On or immediately prior to the Employee Transfer Date, the Transferee shall cause its applicable local Subsidiary in India to (i) issue offer letters of employment to the Indian Employees, (ii) inform the Indian Employees that, as of the Employee Transfer Date, their employment, for all purposes, shall be with the Transferee’s applicable local Subsidiary in India and (iii) take all other actions required to effectuate the transfer of the Indian Employees to the Transferee’s applicable local Subsidiary in India as of the Employee Transfer Date, pursuant to applicable Law and the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Employee Outsourcing and Transfer Agreement. The Transferee and Transferor agree that the Indian Employees shall, to the maximum extent possible and consistent with applicable Law and the terms set forth in this Agreement, transfer the Indian Employees to the Transferee’s applicable local Subsidiary in India without triggering the right of such employees to separation pay, or the occurrence of any other obligation or liability on behalf of the Transferee or Transferor that is not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement. The Transferee shall ensure that from and after the Employee Transfer Date, the Indian Employees shall be the employees of the Transferee’s applicable local Subsidiary in India (as the employer) and there shall be no interruption or break in the Indian Employees’ service, and Transferor shall take such actions necessary to ensure that the accumulations as of the Employee Transfer Date, if any, in respect of any employee benefit in respect of the Indian Employees that are capable of being transferred, are transferred by Transferor to the Transferee’s account, including to the provident fund and leave encashment (“Transferee India Employee Benefits”). For purposes of making contributions to the Transferee India Employee Benefits and for determination of the Indian Employees’ entitlement to the Transferee India Employee Benefits, in each case following the Employee Transfer Date, the Transferee shall take into consideration and provide credit to the Indian Employees for their period of service with Transferor and its Affiliates. During the period commencing at the Employee Transfer Date and ending on the date which is twelve (12) months from the Employee Transfer Date, the Transferee shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary, to provide each Indian Employee continued employment with (A) an annual base salary or an hourly wage rate, as applicable, and annual cash incentive compensation opportunity, in each case, that is not less than that provided to such Indian Employee immediately prior to the Employee Transfer Date, (B) other compensation opportunities and employee benefits, that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to those provided to such Indian Employee immediately prior to the Employee Transfer Date, and (C) any other compensation and benefits required by Law and reasonably necessary to effectuate the transfer of employment contemplated by this paragraph.

(j) The provisions of this Section 5.9 are not intended to, and shall not, (i) be treated as an establishment, amendment or other modification of any Employee Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, Contract, policy, agreement or arrangement of the Transferee or any of its Affiliates or, (ii) confer upon any Persons not a Party, including, without limitation, any Continuing Employee, any rights or remedies, including to continued employment or to any particular term of condition of employment or any third-party beneficiary rights or remedies or (iii) limit the ability of the Transferee or any of its Affiliates to modify, amend or terminate any benefit or compensation plans, programs, policies, Contracts, agreements or arrangements.

From the date hereof until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, except as determined by Transferor in good faith (i) to be necessary to ensure compliance with any applicable Laws or (ii) to reasonably be expected to waive the attorney-client privilege, other legal privilege or violate any contractual confidentiality obligations (provided that, upon the Transferee’s written request, Transferor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any Person necessary to permit disclosure of any information subject to such contractual confidentiality obligations and otherwise make appropriate alternative disclosure arrangements in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to violate such Laws, waive such privilege or violate such obligations), Transferor shall give and shall cause the other Transferring Entities to give the Transferee and its Representatives, upon reasonable advance written notice, reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the assets, properties, books, records and agreements of the Transferring Entities to the extent relating to the Transferred Assets, and Transferor shall, and shall cause the other Transferring Entities to, permit the Transferee and its Representatives to make such inspections as the Transferee may reasonably require and to furnish the Transferee and its Representatives during such period with all such information relating to the Mortgage Servicing Platform and the Transferred Assets as the Transferee may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that none of the Transferring Entities shall be required to (x) make available medical records, workers compensation records, the results of any drug testing or other sensitive or personal information if doing so could reasonably be expected to result in a violation of applicable Law or (y) provide any Tax Returns or other books and records related to Taxes; provided, further, that any such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Transferring Entities. All of such information will be treated as confidential information pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Transferring Entities shall not be required to make available personnel records relating to any Person’s individual performance, evaluation records, medical records, workers compensation records, the results of any drug testing or other sensitive or personal information if doing so would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of applicable Law.

Section 5.13 Transferred Software; License to Guarantor.

(a) General. Effective as of the Closing, except as otherwise permitted by this Section 5.13 or as provided in another Transaction Document, Guarantor and its Subsidiaries shall not Commercialize or otherwise use, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, or retain copies of, any Transferred Software or Shared Software. As of the Closing, Guarantor and its Subsidiaries may retain one or more copies of the Support Software and the Customer Experience Software, for use as permitted by this Section 5.13. Without limiting the scope of the Transferred Software and Transferred IP Rights included in the Transferred Assets, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Transferred Software may include discrete Software components or elements that originated from or were adapted from Software created by Guarantor or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing (“Guarantor Original Software”), and (ii) (A) discrete Software components or elements that are non-material to the functionality provided by, and that do not comprise, implement or use any material functionality provided by, the Transferred Core Platform Software, (B) Guarantor Original Software, and (C) derivatives of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), are being used by Guarantor and its Subsidiaries in their Software and products other than the Mortgage Servicing Platform (the foregoing sub-clauses (A), (B) and (C), collectively, the “Shared Software”). For clarity, to the extent any Shared Software is included in any of the Transferred Software, such Shared Software is deemed to be Transferred Software, and the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries shall retain copies of the Shared Software, subject to the license set forth in Section 5.13(b)(iii).

(b) License Grant. Effective as of the Closing and subject to the provisions of this Section 5.13, Transferee hereby grants to Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Licensees”) a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable (only in accordance with Section 5.13(f)), transferrable (only in accordance with Section 5.13(g)), non-exclusive, fully paid-up and royalty-free license under Transferee’s rights in and to the Transferred IP Rights as of immediately after the Closing as follows:

-56-

(i) under the Transferred IP Rights embodied by or in the Customer Experience Software to (A) reproduce, modify or create derivative works of the Customer Experience Software, (B) use internally (or have hosted for internal use) the Customer Experience Software (and any derivative works thereof created by Guarantor Licensees pursuant to the foregoing clause (A)), (C) Commercialize the Customer Experience Software (and any derivative works thereof created by Guarantor Licensees pursuant to the foregoing clause (A)) for any purpose other than in connection with any Excluded Use, or (D) Commercialize the Customer Experience Software (and any derivative works thereof created by Guarantor Licensees pursuant to the foregoing clause (A)) for the provision of services by Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to performing and non-performing mortgage loans, but only to the extent that such loans are being serviced or subserviced by Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries;

(ii) under the Transferred IP Rights embodied by or in the Support Software to use, copy, distribute, disclose, make, modify, create derivative works of, improve, display, Commercialize, and otherwise exploit in any manner the Support Software other than in connection with any Excluded Use; and

(iii) under the Transferred IP Rights solely to the extent embodied by or in any Retained Technology or Shared Software to use, reproduce, distribute, disclose, make, modify, create derivative works of, improve, display, Commercialize, and otherwise exploit in any manner the Retained Technology or Shared Software, as applicable, in each case other than for any Excluded Use.

(c) Transfer of Licenses. Except as provided in Section 5.13(f), the licenses granted in Section 5.13(b) are personal and may not be assigned, assumed or transferred, in whole or in part, except in connection, or as a result of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, reorganization, or change of control of Guarantor or the sale or other disposition of a business unit or assets to which the licenses in Section 5.13(b) (or part thereof) relate. For clarity, in the event the Guarantor sells a business unit or assets to which the licenses in Section 5.13(b) relates, Guarantor may retain the license granted in Section 5.13(b) with respect to its retained businesses and assign the license granted in Section 5.13(b) to the purchaser of the divested business unit or assets with respect to the divested business unit or assets.

(d) Limitations. All rights and licenses granted to Guarantor and its Subsidiaries under this Section 5.13 are granted “as is” and without any representation or warranty of any kind. Except for the transfer of the Transferred Software to Transferee at Closing and except as provided in another Transaction Document, neither Guarantor nor Transferee and their respective subsidiaries shall have an obligation to provide to the other (i) any maintenance or support services, bug fixes, updates or improvements with respect to any Transferred Software following the Closing, and (ii) any Software developed by such party following the Closing (regardless of whether such developed Software may link to, or otherwise be used in connection with, the Transferred Software).

(e) Subsidiaries.

(i) Any rights or licenses granted hereunder extend to Guarantor’s Subsidiaries but only for so long as such entity is a Subsidiary of Guarantor and accordingly the license to such entity shall automatically terminate without any further action required by any Person upon such entity ceasing to be a Subsidiary of Guarantor, except in the case of a Spin-Out of such entity as provided in Section 5.13(e)(ii). Guarantor shall cause each Subsidiary to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto.

-57-

(ii) In the event of a transaction or series of related transactions in which (A) an entity ceases to be a Subsidiary of Guarantor, or (B) Guarantor sells or divests a business unit or assets to which the licenses in Section 5.13(b) (or part thereof) relate (such transaction in clause (A) or clause (B), a “Spin‑Out”), such spun-out entity may retain (by way of a sublicense), and the acquiror of such business unit or assets of Guarantor will receive (in whole or in part), any licenses granted or sublicensed to such entity or business unit hereunder, provided that such spun-out entity agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto (with Transferee being a third-party beneficiary thereof), and the license retained by the spun-out entity shall be limited to its applicable then-current businesses.

(f) Licenses Irrevocable. The licenses granted in Section 5.13(b) are non-terminable and irrevocable, and the Transferee’s and its and Affiliates’ sole remedy after the Closing for breach by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of the license will be for the Transferee to bring a claim to recover damages and to seek appropriate equitable relief but not termination of the license granted to Guarantor hereunder.

(g) Sublicensing.

(i) The Guarantor Licensees may grant sublicenses to their customers to permit them to use (in executable code form only) any Customer Experience Software that is made available to such customers as permitted by the licenses granted in Section 5.13(b), which sublicenses shall be granted pursuant to an industry-standard, executable code only, nonexclusive license, in each case consistent with and subject to Section 5.13(b).

(ii) The Guarantor Licensees may freely sublicense to any Person the license granted in Section 5.13(b)(ii) with respect to Support Software and Section 5.13(b)(iii) with respect to Retained Technology; provided that the Guarantor Licensees comply with (and cause their sublicensees to comply with) Section 5.13(h).

(h) Confidentiality. Each of the Guarantor Licensees shall treat any source code and any other material Trade Secrets or confidential information that embodies, or is, Transferred IP Rights, in the same manner, and with the same degree of care, that the Transferor treats its own like confidential information and Trade Secrets, but in no event with less than reasonable care. Each Guarantor Licensee shall not disclose such source code and other Trade Secrets or confidential information to any Person, except as permitted by the licenses granted to it in this Section 5.13 (and not otherwise prohibited by this Section 5.13) and then only in connection with the disclosure of the Guarantor’s own confidential information or Trade Secrets of at least comparable importance and value and on the same terms; provided that, except for Non-Material Source Code otherwise disclosed in accordance with this Section 5.13, in no event, shall the Guarantor Licensees distribute or make available to any Person any source code for the Transferred Core Platform Software or Customer Experience Software (in each case, including any such source code that is contained in any Shared Software or Retained Technology). “Non-Material Source Code” means source code for discrete Software components or elements used in the Transferred Core Platform Software that are non-material to the functionality provided by, and that do not comprise, implement or use any material functionality provided by, the Transferred Core Platform Software.

-58-

(i) Bankruptcy Rights. All rights and licenses granted to the Guarantor Licensees, are, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of “intellectual property rights” within the scope of Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. Transferee acknowledges that the Guarantor Licensees, as a licensee of such rights and licenses hereunder, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. Transferee irrevocably waives all arguments and defenses arising under 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(1) or successor provisions to the effect that applicable Law excuses Transferee from accepting performance from or rendering performance to an entity other than the debtor or debtor-in-possession as a basis for opposing assumption of the licenses granted by this Section 5.13(i) in a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent that such consent is required under 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(1) or any successor statute.

Section 5.14 Residuals. Notwithstanding the transfer of Transferred Assets to the Transferee, the Parties acknowledge that Guarantor or its Subsidiaries have retained copies of the database structure for the Customer Service Master (as described in Section 1.1(f)(i) of the Transferor Disclosure Schedules) as used in operations of the Guarantor’s business other than the Mortgage Servicing Platform and the continued use of such Software is permitted and shall not be a breach of this Agreement.

Section 5.15 Inbound Data Agreements.

(a) The Transferee covenants and agrees to negotiate and enter into, by no later than the end of the Term as defined under the Transition Services Agreement, Contracts with the counterparties to the Contracts listed in Section 5.15(a) of the Transferor Disclosure Schedules with respect to the supply of data feeds under such Contracts (the “Data Contracts”) (on such terms as the Transferee may agree to) and the costs and expenses of negotiating and entering into such Data Contracts shall be borne solely by the Transferee.

(b) The Transferee covenants and agrees to negotiate and enter into, by no later than the end of the Term as defined under the Transition Services Agreement, one or more Contracts with Xome Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries (“Xome”) pursuant to which Xome will supply MLS (multiple listing service) data feeds to the Transferee for use in the Mortgage Servicing Platform (the “Xome Data Contracts”). The Transferee covenants and agrees that such Contract(s) shall provide that Xome will be the exclusive supplier for MLS data for products of the Transferee that are provided to Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and that relate to the Mortgage Servicing Platform, solely with respect to the provision of such products to Guarantor or its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Section 5.15(b) shall obligate the Transferee to use data obtained from Xome for any products or services provided to Persons other than Guarantor or its Subsidiaries (including products or services relating to the Mortgage Servicing Platform).

(c) Guarantor covenants and agrees to cause Xome to negotiate the Xome Data Contracts in good faith and on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement.

Transferor, on one hand, and the Transferee, on the other hand, hereby represent that it has not initiated or filed, and hereby agrees that it shall not initiate or file, any lawsuit of any kind whatsoever, or any complaint or charge against any Transferor Releasee (in the case of Transferor) and any Transferee Releasee (in the case of the Transferee) with respect to the matters released and discharged pursuant to this Section 5.18.

-66-

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article III of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered at the Closing in connection with this Agreement, in each case, without giving effect to any limitation or qualification as to “materiality,” “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifiers set forth in such representation or warranty for purposes of determining whether there is a breach and the amount of any Loss resulting from or arising out of such breach;

(c) Each of the Transferee and Transferor, in their capacities as such, are sometimes referred to herein as an “Indemnifying Party” and the Transferee Indemnified Parties and the Transferor Indemnified Parties, in their capacities as such, are sometimes referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party.”

-67-

(f) Except for the obligations of Guarantor as expressly set forth in Section 10.14, and not withstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, this Agreement and the Assignment Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Assignment Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement and the Assignment Agreement may only be made against the applicable entities that are signatories hereto or to the Assignment Agreement, as applicable, and no former, current or future equityholders, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates of any Party or any former, current or future equityholder, controlling Person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, advisor, agent or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any Liability for any obligations or other Liabilities hereunder or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or any representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or any breach of or failure to comply with this Agreement or the Assignment Agreement whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of any Party against any other Party or any Non-Recourse Party, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Law, or otherwise. Without limiting the rights of any Party against the other Party, but except for claims against Guarantor pursuant to the express terms of Section 10.14, in no event shall any Party or any of its equityholders, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement or the Assignment Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse Party in connection with this Agreement or the Assignment Agreement.

(g) This Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties from and after the Closing for any claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby (including claims of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement, whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability or otherwise); provided, however, that this Section 9.2(g) shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief with respect to any breach or nonfullfilment of any covenant or agreement herein.

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without limiting Section 3.15 and Section 4.14), nothing in this Agreement shall limit any claim of Fraud or the pursuit of any claims or remedies under or in connection with any other Transaction Document as permitted thereunder.

(i) In the event an Indemnified Party has suffered a Loss which would give rise to a right to be indemnified under more than one of the subclauses of Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to make a claim for such Losses under any and all such subclauses; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to any double recovery with respect to any particular Loss or claim. For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the limitations set forth in this Article IX, nothing in this Agreement shall require any Indemnified Party to make any claim under this Article IX and, subject to the survival periods and other limitations set forth in this Article IX, no such claim shall be waived or otherwise prejudiced as a result of any delay in making such claim.

-68-

Section 9.3 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Limitations on Transferee Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(i) Transferor shall have no liability for claims made under Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to any claims for Fraud or for breaches of Transferor Fundamental Representations or the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3.8 or, with respect to any claims made within nine (9) months of Closing, for claims for breaches of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3.10(g)) (x) in respect of any particular claim (or series of claims arising out of the same or similar facts) unless the aggregate amount of Losses for such claim (or series of related claims) equals or exceeds $50,000 (the “Per Claim Amount”), in which event the Transferee Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified only for such Losses in excess of the Per Claim Amount, and (y) until the aggregate amount of Losses with respect to such claims exceeds one percent (1%) of the Base Platform Purchase Price (the “Deductible”), in which event the Transferee Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified only for such Losses in excess of the Deductible;

(ii) Transferor’s aggregate liability for all claims made pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to any claims for Fraud or for breaches of Transferor Fundamental Representations or the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3.8) shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Base Platform Purchase Price (the “General Cap”); and

No Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder.

(d) The amount of any Loss payable under this Article IX by an Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under all insurance and indemnity, contribution or similar agreements or rights (it being agreed that if any such amounts are recovered by the Indemnified Party, subsequent to the Indemnifying Party’s making of an indemnification payment in satisfaction of its applicable indemnification obligation, the amount of any such proceeds shall be promptly remitted to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the indemnification payment made), where such recovery is net of the following: (i) costs and expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives in procuring such recovery; (ii) any increases in premiums or premium adjustments to the extent attributable to such recovery (applicable to any past, present or future premiums); (iii) deductibles and other amounts incurred in connection with pursuing such recovery; and (iv) any net Tax benefits realized by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Loss (determined taking into account any Tax detriment arising from the right to indemnification hereunder). The Indemnified Parties shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance and indemnity, contribution or similar agreements or rights covering any Loss payable under this Article IX to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder, and, to the extent any such Loss may be recoverable under any such agreements or rights, shall not be permitted to make a claim for indemnification hereunder in respect of a Loss unless and to the extent recovery has been so sought and not obtained. Upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may have against third parties with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such rights to the Indemnifying Party to such extent.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no party shall have any liability for any punitive damages, except to the extent awarded against an Indemnified Party pursuant to a Third-Party Claim.

Section 9.4 Claim Procedures.

(a) If an Indemnified Party wishes to make a claim under this Article IX (including in respect of a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party (each, a “Third-Party Claim”)), such Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has incurred, suffered, or sustained, or reasonably anticipates that it may incur, suffer, or sustain, Losses, and (ii) to the extent reasonably available, specifying such claim and Losses in reasonable detail, the date that each such Loss was incurred, suffered, or sustained, or the basis for such anticipated Losses, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant or other indemnifiable matter. An Indemnified Party may update a Claim Notice from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof. A failure by an Indemnified Party to give complete, accurate, or, subject to the survival periods set forth in Section 9.1, timely notice of a Claim Notice will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. If a claim under this Article IX may be brought under different or multiple sections, clauses or sub-clauses of Section 9.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) (or with respect to different or multiple representations, warrants or covenants), then the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to bring such claim under any or each such section, clause, subclauses, representation, warranty or covenant (each, a “Subject Provision”) that it chooses and the Indemnified Parties will not be precluded from seeking indemnification under any Subject Provision by virtue of the Indemnified Parties not being entitled to seek indemnification under any other Subject Provision.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall respond in writing within thirty (30) days of delivery of a Claim Notice by delivery of a written notice stating whether the Indemnified Party is prepared to make an objection to the applicable claim at such time (a “Claim Objection Notice”), which notice shall, to the extent reasonably available, describe the basis of such objection in reasonable detail. The failure to make an objection or to include or describe any basis therefor shall not constitute an acknowledgment by the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnified Party is entitled to all or any portion of such claim for Losses set forth in such Claim Notice or a waiver of the right to make any objection at any later time.

(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a Claim Objection Notice in accordance with Section 9.4(b), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the Parties (a “Resolution Memorandum”).

(d) The Indemnifying Parties shall make any payments made with respect to any Resolution Memorandum within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such Resolution Memorandum.

(e) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Objection Notice, either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Parties may seek to resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 10.7.

-71-

Section 9.5 Third-Party Claims.

(a) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice in respect of a Third-Party Claim:

(i) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense and prosecution of and, subject to Section 9.5(a)(iii), to settle or resolve any such Third-Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party). Notwithstanding an election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ one separate co-counsel (and one local co-counsel for each jurisdiction in which local counsel is reasonably required) and to participate in the defense as counsel of record, if applicable, in such Third-Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (A) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim in which both the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party are defendants, that would make representation by the same counsel or the counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party inappropriate or (B) such Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In any other event not set forth in the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party does not timely elect to assume the defense and control of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.5(b), the Indemnified Party will be entitled to control such defense (and the reasonable costs of such defense shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party to the extent they constitute Losses), but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless reasonably participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense.

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense and control of a Third-Party Claim, it shall not be authorized to consent to a settlement or compromise of, or the entry of any Judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (A) the Indemnified Party, as a condition to settlement, is given a complete and unconditional release of any and all Liabilities relating to such Third-Party Claim by all relevant parties to such Third-Party Claim; (B) the damages payable under the settlement are limited only to monetary payments for which the Indemnified Party is fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party (net of any proceeds); and (C) such Third-Party Claim does not involve any non-monetary relief of any kind (including any injunctive relief) against any Indemnified Party or finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party will consent to the entry of any Judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

-72-

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.5, if a Third-Party Claim includes or could reasonably be expected to include both a claim for Taxes for which a Transferring Entity is responsible pursuant to Section 9.2(a) (“Transferor Taxes”) and a claim for Taxes for which the Transferee is responsible pursuant to Section 9.2(b) (“Transferee Taxes,”), Transferor and the Transferee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sever such Third-Party Claim into separate Tax Proceedings relating to Transferor Taxes and Transferee Taxes, respectively. If such Third-Party Claim is not so severable, Transferor (if the claim(s) for Transferor Taxes exceeds or reasonably would be expected to exceed in amount the claim(s) for Transferee Taxes) or otherwise the Transferee (Transferor or the Transferee, as the case may be (the “Tax Controlling Party”)), shall be entitled to control the defense of such Third-Party Claim (such Third-Party Claim, a “Tax Claim”). In such case, (i) the other party (the “Tax Non-Controlling Party”) shall be entitled to participate fully (at the Tax Non-Controlling Party’s sole cost and expense) in the conduct of such Tax Claim; (ii) the Tax Controlling Party shall provide the Tax Non-Controlling Party with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Claim; (iii) the Tax Controlling Party shall consult with the Tax Non-Controlling Party before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Claim; (iv) the Tax Controlling Party shall consult with the Tax Non-Controlling Party and offer the Tax Non-Controlling Party an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Claim; (v) the Tax Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Claim diligently and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Claim; and (vi) the Tax Controlling Party shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of the Tax Non-Controlling Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 10.6 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) irreparable damage would occur in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the other Party of this Agreement; (ii) monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy; (iii) the non-breaching Party shall be entitled, without any proof of actual damages (and in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it), to a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other agreement and an injunction preventing or restraining such breach or threatened breach; and (iv) no Party hereto shall be required to provide or post any bond or other security or collateral in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related action or Legal Proceeding. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

Section 10.7 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(b) In addition, each of the Parties (i) in the event that any dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arises out of this Agreement or the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby, submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over the applicable Legal Proceeding, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware; (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (iii) agrees that it will not bring any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the above-named courts; and (iv) agrees that it will not seek to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, that any such Legal Proceeding (A) is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) should be transferred or removed to any court other than the above-named courts, (C) should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding in any court other than the above-named courts or (D) that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by the above-named courts. Each Party agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such Legal Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 10.5.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION, OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER RELEVANT MATTER.

Section 10.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced because of any Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect to the extent that the economic or legal substance of the Transaction is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transaction be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic transmission), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties hereto and delivered (by facsimile, electronic transmission or otherwise) to the other Party.

Section 10.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses.

Section 10.11 Interpretation; Absence of Presumption. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The words “date hereof” shall refer to the date of this Agreement. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and shall not simply mean “if.” Documents or other information or materials will be deemed to have been “made available” by (a) the Transferee if such documents, information or materials have been posted to a virtual data room managed by the Transferee prior to the execution of this Agreement or (b) Transferor if such documents, information or materials have been posted to a virtual data room managed by Transferor prior to the execution of this Agreement. All references to “$” mean the lawful currency of the United States of America. References to “ordinary course” and “ordinary course of business” with respect to either Party shall be consistent with past practices and shall take into account the commercially reasonable actions or omitted to be taken by such Party (as such Party reasonably determined is necessary or appropriate) to comply with any COVID-19 Measures. References to tangible personal property do not refer to electronically-stored data or computer files. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Except as specifically stated herein, any statute defined or referred to herein means such statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by succession of comparable successor statutes. Except as otherwise specified herein, references to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. Each of the Parties hereto has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Disclosure Schedule References. The Parties hereto agree that the disclosure set forth in any particular section or subsection of the Transferor Disclosure Schedules or the Transferee Disclosure Schedules, as applicable, shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties of Transferor or the Transferee, as applicable that are set forth in the corresponding section or subsection of this Agreement; and (b) any other representations and warranties of Transferor or the Transferee, as applicable, that are set forth in this Agreement, but in the case of this clause (b) only if the relevance of that disclosure as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such other representations and warranties is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure.

Section 10.13 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any Party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such Party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any breach or default, or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded to any holder, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

Section 10.14 Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Guarantor undertakes to cause the Transferring Entities to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which such Transferring Entity is a party, and to timely meet, and guarantees the performance of, all of the Transferring Entities’ obligations herein and to the extent any Transferring Entity does not timely meet any obligation herein (including any indemnification or payment obligations), Guarantor shall directly perform such obligation on behalf of such Transferring Entity. This guaranty shall be a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligation hereunder shall be primary and unconditional (and not as a surety), subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. To the extent Guarantor is called upon to perform any such obligation on behalf of any Transferring Entity, Guarantor shall have all of the rights that such Transferring Entity would have had such Transferring Entity performed such obligation directly.
