RECITALS:

WHEREAS, Seller owns 100% of the outstanding shares of the capital stock (the “Common Stock”) of the Company;

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Seller desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to acquire, all of the shares of Common Stock owned by Seller;

WHEREAS, in connection with such sale and acquisition, Seller and the Company desire for Seller to assign certain contractual rights and obligations to the Company and for the Company and Seller to settle certain obligations of Seller to the Company, and for such assignments and settlement to be made by way of an exchange of such rights and obligations in redemption of Common Stock held by Seller prior to such sale; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, each of the Selling Sponsors has executed and delivered to Buyer a letter agreement pursuant to which such Selling Sponsor has agreed to, among other things, certain confidentiality restrictions, in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Letter Agreements”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE; CLOSING

SECTION 1.1 Purchase and Sale.

(a) Purchase and Sale of the Transferred Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller will sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase and acquire, all of the Common Stock owned by Seller (the “Transferred Shares”), free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens imposed under applicable securities Laws or Liens created by or resulting from actions of Buyer).

(b) Purchase Price. In consideration for the sale and transfer of the Transferred Shares, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer will pay the Purchase Price in the manner described herein.

(c) Closing Statement. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail (i) Seller’s good faith estimates of, as of the Closing, (A) the amount of Leakage and (B) the Transaction Expense Amount (setting forth (x) the amount of each Transaction Expense and (y) with respect to each non-compensatory Transaction Expense, the corresponding wiring information for the account of each relevant Person for payment of such non-compensatory Transaction Expense at Closing pursuant to Section 1.4(d)), together with reasonable supporting documentation with respect to the calculation of such amounts, and (ii) a schedule of (A) each Company SAR Award Holder and (B) the amount of consideration that each Company SAR Award Holder would be entitled to receive upon the exercise of such holder’s SAR Award as of immediately prior to the Closing, based on, for purposes of calculating the amounts in this clause (ii)(B), the Purchase Price and taking into account dilution from the payment pursuant to this Section 1.1(c) of all outstanding SAR Awards as of such time, but without taking into account Section 1.6 (such amount with respect to each Company SAR Award Holder, the “Closing Date SAR Consideration”, and the sum of (x) the aggregate Closing Date SAR Consideration with respect to all Company SAR Award Holders, collectively, plus (y) the employer portion of any Taxes payable in connection therewith, being referred to herein as the “Aggregate Closing Date SAR Payment”). The Closing Statement shall be accompanied by a schedule showing Seller’s method of calculating the items set forth thereon. During the period between Seller’s delivery of the Closing Statement and the end of the Holdback Period, Seller shall (A) afford Buyer through its Representatives (including its legal advisors and accountants) reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice during normal business hours, to the books and records of Seller, the Company and its Subsidiaries as and to the extent reasonably necessary for Buyer to confirm Seller’s estimates of the amount of Leakage and the Transaction Expense Amount, (B) make available to Buyer, upon reasonable advance notice during normal business hours, any employee of Seller, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who was involved in the preparation of the Closing Statement, and (C) provide Buyer with any other documentation or information that is reasonably requested by Buyer from Seller, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to confirm the Closing Statement, in each case at Buyer’s expense. If, during such five (5) Business Day period prior to the Closing, Buyer disagrees with any portion of the Closing Statement, Buyer may deliver notice of such disagreement to Seller, and if any such notice is delivered, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to resolve Buyer’s disagreements set forth in such notice and the Closing Statement shall be updated for any items resolved by the Parties. If Buyer and Seller fail to resolve any of Buyer’s disagreements, the Closing Statement and the calculations therein as originally delivered by Seller (as updated to reflect any items resolved by the Parties) shall be conclusive and binding upon Buyer solely for purposes of determining the amounts payable by Buyer at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.4. For the avoidance of doubt, any failure by Buyer to deliver any notice of its disagreement with any portion of the Closing Statement, or failure by Buyer to include in any such notice a portion of the Closing Statement with which Buyer disagrees, shall not affect, modify or otherwise prejudice in any way Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 1.6.

SECTION 1.2 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between Seller and Buyer, the closing

of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall take place at (a) the offices of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (such fifth (5th) Business Day, the “Satisfaction Date”) (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions at the Closing) or (b) such other date, time or place as agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer; provided, that if the date that the Closing would otherwise be required to occur pursuant to this Section 1.2 is either (i) within five (5) Business Days before the last day of a calendar month or (ii) in the last month of any fiscal quarter of Buyer, Buyer may elect (in its sole discretion), following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) but no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Satisfaction Date, to defer the Closing to the first Business Day of the immediately following calendar month (such Business Day, the “Deferred Date”), it being understood that if Buyer elects to so defer the Closing to the Deferred Date, (x) Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally waived each, and shall not assert the failure to be satisfied or waived with respect to any, of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 (other than (A) Section 7.2(d), which condition by its nature is to be satisfied at the Closing; provided that the certificate to be delivered pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 1.5(a) shall be delivered as of the Satisfaction Date as if the Closing had been required to occur on the Satisfaction Date (with references to the “Closing Date” therein deemed to be, and replaced with references to, the “Satisfaction Date”) and (B) as a result of a Willful Breach by Seller or the Company, the condition in Section 7.2(b)) and Buyer shall be obligated to consummate the Closing on or prior to such Deferred Date irrespective of, such conditions and (y) Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally waived and Buyer shall not be entitled to exercise, any right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b), Section 8.1(c) and, except as a result of a Willful Breach by Seller or the Company, Section 8.1(e). The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

SECTION 1.3 Effect of the Closing on SAR Awards.

(a) At the Closing, each SAR Award that is outstanding and held by a Company Employee or Company Independent Contractor as of immediately prior to the Closing shall be automatically cancelled without any action on the part of any holder thereof in consideration for the right of the holder to receive payment of such holder’s Closing Date SAR Consideration (if any) pursuant to Section 1.3(b); provided, that if, pursuant to Section 1.3(b), a Company SAR Award Holder is not entitled to receive any Closing Date SAR Consideration with respect to a SAR Award, then such SAR Award shall be cancelled without any right to receive payment therefor.

(b) Within thirty (30) days following the delivery by Buyer to the Company of an amount equal to the Aggregate Closing Date SAR Payment pursuant to Section 1.4(b), the Company shall (or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary of the Company to) pay to each Company SAR Award Holder such holder’s Closing Date SAR Consideration as set forth in the Closing Statement, through its payroll (or the payroll of the applicable Subsidiary).

SECTION 1.4 Payments at Closing. At the Closing, Buyer will pay (or cause to be paid) by wire transfer of immediately available funds:

(a) to Seller, an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Purchase Price over (B) the Holdback Amount (such excess amount, the “Closing Purchase Price”), minus (ii) the

Aggregate Closing Date SAR Payment, to the account(s) designated by Seller in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date;

(b) to the Company, an amount equal to the Aggregate Closing Date SAR Payment, to the account(s) designated by the Company in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date;

(c) to those Persons that are holders of Funded Indebtedness, on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, all amounts necessary to discharge fully the then outstanding balance (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any accrued and unpaid interest and premium thereon) of the Funded Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the account(s) set forth in the Payoff Letter or, with respect to the Notes Redemption Amount, to the account(s) designated by the Trustee in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (such amount, the “Funded Indebtedness Amount”);

(d) to each Person, in each case to the account or accounts designated by such Person, the amount of non-compensatory Transaction Expenses due and payable to such person, as specified in writing by the Company at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; and

(e) to the Company, an amount equal to the compensatory Transaction Expenses due and payable to the Company Independent Contractors and Company Employees, to the account(s) designated by the Company in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, for the Company to pay (or to cause the applicable Subsidiary of the Company to pay) to the Company Independent Contractors and, through the Company’s payroll (or the payroll of the applicable Subsidiary), to the Company Employees.

SECTION 1.5 Other Closing Deliverables.

(a) Closing Deliverables of Seller. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer:

(i) to the extent the Transferred Shares are certificated, certificates evidencing the Transferred Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank, or other duly executed instruments of transfer as required to validly transfer title in and to the Transferred Shares;

(ii) a certificate signed on behalf of Seller and the Company to the effect that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a), Section 7.2(b) and Section 7.2(c) have been satisfied;

(iv) original corporate record books and stock or equity record book, as applicable, of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to the extent existing and not in the possession of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing;

(v) a Payoff Letter with respect to the Existing Credit Agreement and, if applicable, any Satisfaction and Discharge Documentation; and

(b) Closing Deliverables of Buyer. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller a certificate signed on behalf of Buyer to the effect that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) and Section 7.3(b) have been satisfied.

SECTION 1.6 Reimbursement of Leakage and Transaction Expenses Not Included in Closing Purchase Price.

(a) On the date that is four (4) months following the Closing Date (the “Holdback Date” and the period between the Closing Date and the Holdback Date, the “Holdback Period”), Buyer shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “Holdback Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s good faith estimates of (i) all Recoverable Leakage and (ii) all Recoverable Transaction Expenses, in each case together with reasonable supporting documentation with respect to the calculation of such amounts, and (iii) the Holdback Payment Amount (Buyer’s good faith estimates of the Holdback Payment Amount, the “Initial Holdback Payment Amount”). The Holdback Statement shall be accompanied by a schedule showing Buyer’s method of calculating the items set forth thereon.

(b) If, and only if, the Initial Holdback Payment Amount is a positive amount (other than zero), within five (5) Business Days following Buyer’s delivery of the Holdback Statement to Seller, Buyer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Seller, an amount equal to the Initial Holdback Payment Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by Seller in writing within two (2) Business Days following Buyer’s delivery of the Holdback Statement.

(c) On or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following Buyer’s delivery of the Holdback Statement (the “Review Period”), Seller may deliver to Buyer written notice (the “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail Seller’s objections to the Holdback Statement (including reasonable detail of each item or amount in dispute, along with reasonable detail of the basis therefor, supporting documentation, schedules and calculations enabling Buyer to calculate and review Seller’s calculations, as well as Seller’s proposed calculation of the Holdback Payment Amount). Any determination set forth on the Holdback Statement that is not objected to in the Objection Notice shall be deemed acceptable and shall be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Seller upon delivery of the Objection Notice. If Seller does not deliver to Buyer the Objection Notice within the Review Period, then Seller shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Holdback Statement and the Holdback Statement will be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Seller and (x) the Initial Holdback Payment Amount set forth in the Holdback Statement shall become the Holdback Payment Amount and (y) the date on which the Review Period expires shall become the Settlement Date, in each case for purposes of this Section 1.6 and all other purposes under this Agreement. During the Review Period, Buyer shall (A) afford Seller through its Representatives (including its legal advisors and accountants) reasonable access, upon reasonable

advance notice during normal business hours, to the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries as and to the extent reasonably necessary for Seller to confirm Buyer’s estimates of Recoverable Leakage, Recoverable Transaction Expenses and the Initial Holdback Payment Amount, (B) make available to Seller, upon reasonable advance notice during normal business hours, any employee of Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who was involved in the preparation of the Holdback Statement, and (C) provide Seller with any other documentation or information that is reasonably requested by Seller from Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to confirm the Holdback Statement, in each case at Seller’s expense.

(d) Following Buyer’s receipt of the Objection Notice, if any, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve Seller’s objections therein. In the event that Seller and Buyer fail to agree with respect to any of Seller’s objections set forth in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree) after Buyer receives the Objection Notice (the “Resolution Period”), then Seller and Buyer shall promptly (and, in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the final day of the Resolution Period) retain the Accounting Arbitrator (including by executing a customary agreement with the Accounting Arbitrator in connection with its engagement), who shall act as an expert (and not as an arbitrator), and submit any unresolved objections covered by the Objection Notice (the “Disputed Items”) for resolution in accordance with this Section 1.6(d). The Accounting Arbitrator will be instructed to (A) make a final determination on an expedited basis (and in any event within thirty (30) days after submission of the Disputed Items (or such other time as the Parties may mutually agree in writing)) with respect to each of the Disputed Items (and only the Disputed Items) that is (1) consistent with the terms of this Agreement, (2) within the range of the respective positions taken by each of Seller and Buyer and (3) based solely on written submissions by Buyer and Seller (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review) with respect to the Disputed Items (and only the Disputed Items) to the Accounting Arbitrator no later than fifteen (15) days (or such other time as the Parties may mutually agree in writing) after submission of the Disputed Items to the Accounting Arbitrator, and a presentation made by Buyer and Seller to the Accounting Arbitrator no later than twenty (20) days after submission of the Disputed Items (or such other time as the Parties may mutually agree in writing) to the Accounting Arbitrator; and (B) prepare and deliver to Seller and Buyer a written statement setting forth its final determination (and a reasonably detailed description of the basis therefor) with respect to each Disputed Item (the “Accounting Arbitrator’s Report”). Seller and Buyer shall provide the Accounting Arbitrator with such financial and other relevant information of Seller and Buyer as the Accounting Arbitrator shall reasonably request for purposes of making its final determination with respect to the Disputed Items, and Seller and Buyer shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Accounting Arbitrator in connection therewith. The Accounting Arbitrator shall not conduct any additional discovery in any form, and the Accounting Arbitrator shall be bound by a mutually agreeable confidentiality agreement, which shall preserve the confidentiality of any proceeding before the Accounting Arbitrator. All information (including answers to questions from the Accounting Arbitrator) submitted by a Party to the Accounting Arbitrator must be concurrently delivered to the other Party. Neither Buyer nor Seller, nor any of their respective Representatives, will meet or discuss any substantive matters with the Accounting Arbitrator without Buyer and Seller and their respective Representatives present or having the opportunity following at least three (3) Business Days’ advance written notice to be present, either in person or by telephone. Each of Seller and Buyer agrees that (1) the Accounting Arbitrator’s determination with respect to each Disputed Item as reflected in the Accounting Arbitrator’s Report shall be deemed to be final, conclusive, binding and non-appealable, (2) the Holdback Statement, as modified by any changes thereto in accordance with the Accounting Arbitrator’s Report, shall be deemed to be the Holdback

Statement for purposes of the payment (if any) contemplated by this Section 1.6, (3) the procedures set forth in this Section 1.6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the final determination of the Holdback Statement and (4) the Accounting Arbitrator’s determination under this Section 1.6 shall be enforceable as an arbitral award, and judgment may be entered thereupon in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced, including pursuant to Article 76 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules. The only defense of either Seller or Buyer to such a request for enforcement or other legal action shall be fraud by or upon the Accounting Arbitrator or manifest error. The date on which the Holdback Payment Amount is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6 (including in case of a failure by Seller to provide any Objection Notice during the Review Period pursuant to Section 1.6(c)) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Settlement Date”. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 1.6(d) through the end of the Resolution Period shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state rules of evidence. Except as may be required by applicable Law or court order, the Parties agree to maintain confidentiality as to all aspects of any proceeding before the Accounting Arbitrator, including its existence and results, except that nothing herein shall prevent any Party from disclosing information regarding such proceeding to a court of competent jurisdiction for purposes of enforcing this Section 1.6(d) or the Accounting Arbitrator’s final determination.

(e) Each of Seller and Buyer shall (A) pay its own respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 1.6 and (B) be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator in connection with this Section 1.6 on a pro rata basis based upon the inverse of the degree (measured in dollars) to which the Accounting Arbitrator has accepted the respective positions of Seller and Buyer (which shall be determined by the Accounting Arbitrator and set forth in the Accounting Arbitrator’s Report). For purposes of clarity, if the Accounting Arbitrator determines that it accepted seventy percent (70%) of the respective position of one Party, that Party shall pay thirty percent (30%) of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator and the other Party shall pay the remaining seventy percent (70%) of such fees and expenses.

(f) If the Holdback Payment Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6 is greater than the Initial Holdback Payment Amount:

(i) and the Initial Holdback Payment Amount was a positive amount (other than zero), within five (5) Business Days following the Settlement Date, Buyer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Seller an amount equal to the excess of (X) Holdback Payment Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6 over (Y) the Initial Holdback Payment Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by Seller in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Settlement Date;

(ii) and the Initial Holdback Payment Amount was a negative amount (or equal to zero) and the Holdback Payment Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6 is a positive amount (other than zero), within five (5) Business Days following the Settlement Date, Buyer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Seller an amount equal to the Holdback Payment Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6 to the account(s) designated by Seller in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Settlement Date; and

(iii) and the Initial Holdback Payment Amount was a negative amount (or equal to zero) and the Holdback Payment Amount as finally determined pursuant to this

Section 1.6 is a negative amount, within five (5) Business Days following the Settlement Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, an amount equal to the absolute value of the Holdback Payment Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by Buyer in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Settlement Date.

(g) All payments pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Parties agree to treat any payment made pursuant to this Section 1.6 as an adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price for Tax purposes, and, except to the extent required by applicable Law, the Parties agree not to take any position inconsistent with such treatment on any Tax Return.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall remain in existence from the Closing, and shall not take any action to cause Seller to be dissolved, liquidated, terminated, canceled or otherwise cease to exist prior to the later of (i) the fifth (5th) Business Day following Buyer’s delivery of the Initial Holdback Payment Amount, and (ii) the payment in full of all amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 1.6, including Section 1.6(e) and Section 1.6(f)(iii).

SECTION 1.7 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, (a) each payment made pursuant to this Agreement may be made net of any Taxes required by applicable Law to be deducted or withheld from such payment (and any compensatory payment shall be subject to such netting), (b) any amounts deducted or withheld from any such payment shall be properly remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority, and (c) any amounts so deducted and withheld and properly remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding or deduction was made. Before any Person makes any deduction or withholding pursuant to this Section 1.7, such Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) give reasonable advance notice to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding is made, (y) provide such Person sufficient opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation or take such other steps in order to avoid such deduction or withholding, and (z) reasonably cooperate with such Person in good faith to attempt to reduce any amounts that would otherwise be deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 1.7; provided, that the obligations described in (x), (y) and (z) of this sentence shall not apply with respect to any deduction or withholding from any compensatory payment.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall, on behalf of the parties hereto, have control over and lead all communications and strategy related to obtaining any consents, clearances or approvals required under or in connection with the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law listed in Section 5.2(d)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules and in furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, withdraw its initial filing under the Antitrust Act or any other Antitrust Law, as the case may be, and refile it, or extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law or enter into any interim timing agreement with any Governmental Entity not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (but in no event shall Buyer enter into any such interim timing agreement the expiration date of which is later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Outside Date); provided, however, that Buyer shall consult with and cooperate with Seller, and permit Seller (and its counsel) to review in advance and consider in good faith the views of Seller, relating to any written or substantive oral communication made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law, and shall furnish Seller with the copy of any such written or substantive oral communication.

(a) Subject to applicable Law, upon reasonable advance written notice, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford Buyer’s and Buyer’s Affiliates’ respective officers and other authorized Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ employees, properties, Contracts, data and information and records to the extent relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, that Buyer and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities at their sole cost and expense (excluding for the avoidance of doubt the cost of the compensation and benefits of the Company Employees) and in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and in no event will the foregoing include any sampling or analysis of soil, groundwater, building materials or other environmental media. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be directed to the executive officer or other Persons designated by the Company for such requests, and Buyer agrees that no communication shall be made by any of its Representatives with any employee, officer or agent of Seller, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who has not been so designated without the prior written consent of Seller or its designee.

SECTION 5.6 Employee Benefits.

(a) Consistent with its customary practices and based on assumptions concerning the general compensation philosophy and approach of the Company and its Subsidiaries, Buyer intends to transition the compensation and benefits packages for employees who are employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing and who continue employment with Buyer, the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries following the Closing (collectively, the “Affected Employees”) generally (subject to limited exceptions to reflect specific individual circumstances) as follows: (i) annual base salary or base wages immediately after the Closing would be at a level not less than what it was immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) planned total cash compensation (base salary or base wages, as applicable, plus target cash incentives) immediately after the Closing would be at a level that is not less than what it was immediately prior to the Closing, (iii) immediately following a human resources integration transition, equity compensation incentives would be at a level consistent with that provided to other similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates, and (iv) immediately following a human resources integration transition after the Closing, employee benefits that are intended to be substantially similar, in the aggregate, to the benefits provided to Affected Employees immediately prior to the Closing or to the benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates.

(b) From and after the Closing, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and level of benefits under the benefit and compensation plans, programs, policies, agreements or other arrangements of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries in which Affected Employees are eligible to participate following the Closing (collectively, the “Buyer Plans”), Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company or the applicable respective Subsidiary to, credit each Affected Employee with his or her years of service with the Company, its Subsidiaries, and any predecessor, to the same extent as such Affected Employee was entitled immediately prior to the Closing to credit for such service under any similar Company Plan; provided, that (i) no such service shall be credited (x) to the extent that it would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service, (y) for purposes of any Buyer Plan, other than any Company Plan, that provides defined benefit pension benefits, retiree medical benefits or other post-employment benefits or (z) for purposes of any Buyer Plan that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or eligibility for participation, and (ii) for purposes of any Buyer Plan that is not a Company Plan, such service credit with respect to the level of benefits

shall be applicable solely in respect of vacation, disability, severance and medical (other than retiree medical) benefits. In addition, Buyer shall (and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to) use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive for each Affected Employee and his or her covered dependents, any waiting period provision under any Buyer Plan and any pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements under any Buyer Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to the extent such conditions were inapplicable or waived in the ordinary course and consistent with past practices under the comparable Company Plans in which such Affected Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) for the plan year in which the Closing occurs, credit each Affected Employee with any co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid prior to the Closing in satisfying any applicable copayments, deductibles or out-of-pocket requirements for the plan year under any Buyer Plan that provides for medical, dental or vision insurance benefits (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any benefit plan that provides pharmaceutical benefits that does not provide credit for such co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses).

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to take such actions as may be necessary (including soliciting any necessary customary employee waivers) to cause a stockholder vote that, if approved (and if any necessary waivers were obtained), would cause all payments to “disqualified individuals” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) which would otherwise constitute “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to satisfy the stockholder approval exemption under Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) of the Code. The Company shall provide Buyer and its Representatives with a copy of any disclosure statement and related calculations prepared in connection with this Section 5.6(c) not less than seven (7) calendar days prior to delivery to the Company’s stockholders and shall consider in good faith any comments made by Buyer or its Representatives regarding the content of such disclosure statement. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer notification and evidence that a vote of the stockholders was solicited in conformance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to payments or benefits that would constitute “excess parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code) and whether or not the requisite stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments or benefits that were subject to the stockholder vote.

(d) The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.6 with respect to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries are included for the sole benefit of Seller and Buyer and shall not create any right (i) in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant or any beneficiary thereof in any Company Plan or Buyer Plan, or (ii) to continued employment with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Buyer. Nothing herein shall, or shall be deemed to, amend any benefit plan, including any Buyer Plan or any Company Plan. After the Closing, nothing contained in this Section 5.6 shall interfere with the right of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Buyer to amend, modify or terminate any Company Plan or Buyer Plan or to terminate the employment of any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries for any reason.

(e) If requested by Buyer in a written notice delivered to the Company not less than ten (10) Business Days before the Closing Date, the Company shall cause the board of directors (or the appropriate committee thereof) of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the Company to adopt resolutions and take such corporate actions as are necessary to terminate the Company 401(k) Plan, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing Date. If the Company

401(k) Plan shall be terminated as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer (i) executed resolutions of the board of directors of the Company (or the appropriate committee thereof) authorizing the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan effective as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) an executed copy of the amendment made to the Company 401(k) Plan in connection with the termination of the plan. In the event that the Company 401(k) Plan is terminated as set forth in this Section 5.6(e), Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Buyer Plan that includes a cash or deferred arrangement qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) to permit and accept rollover contributions of the account balances of any Affected Employee who participated in the Company 401(k) Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to each Affected Employee who participated in the Company 401(k) Plan that is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.6(e), Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Buyer 401(k) Plan to permit and accept as rollover contributions a maximum of two (2) outstanding loan notes made by such Affected Employee that are held as assets of the Company 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the Closing, and if a Buyer 401(k) Plan permits and accepts as a rollover contribution such loan notes, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit the Affected Employee who made such loan note to continue to repay the underlying loan in accordance with its terms in effect immediately prior to the Closing.

(f) Seller shall take all necessary action to cause all outstanding SAR Awards held by a Company SAR Award Holder to be cancelled at the Closing in exchange for the right to receive the consideration specified in Section 1.3 (if any) in accordance with the terms of Section 1.3.

(g) No later than ten (10) Business Days following the date hereof, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with human resources contact information with respect to each country in which a Company Employee is employed (which, with respect to any country in which a Company Employee is employed but for which the Company and its Subsidiaries do not maintain a separate human resources contact, may be the human resources contact for the applicable region within which such country is located) and, following the date hereof, the Company shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of Buyer in good faith for the purpose of gathering Company Employee census data and preparing for on-boarding Company Employees. If Seller or any of its Subsidiaries would be prohibited by applicable Law or any Contract from providing any information or data requested by Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.6(g), the Company shall (or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to) exercise commercially reasonable efforts to provide appropriate notification, obtain consent or take such other similar actions in order to provide such information consistent with applicable Law and such Contract, provided that Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take the actions and execute the documents, reasonably requested by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, as are required to render the provision of such information consistent with applicable Laws and such Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.6(g), any good faith failure of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to perform, or comply with, its obligations under this Section 5.6(g) shall not constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 to be satisfied, or otherwise constitute a material breach of this Agreement by the Company.

(h) The Company and Buyer shall (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to) cooperate to take all reasonably necessary or appropriate actions to comply with any requirement under applicable Law or any applicable Contract or Company Plan to notify the collective bargaining or other labor representatives about the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement, including any applicable works council of the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and to provide such information and engage in such discussions or negotiations with such representatives as may be required by applicable Law or any applicable Contract or Company Plan, in each case, to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including Section 1.6), whether or not the Closing is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party hereto incurring such expense; provided, however, that Buyer shall be solely responsible for the filing fees paid in connection with the obligations set forth in Section 5.2(d)(i)(A), the cost of D&O Insurance to be obtained pursuant to Section 5.8, expenses incurred pursuant to Section 5.15, and any Transfer Taxes and similar Taxes required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.3. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the obligation of each Party to pay its own expenses will be subject to any rights of such Party arising from a Willful Breach of this Agreement by any other Party.

SECTION 5.8 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) For six (6) years after the Closing Date, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses as incurred to, in each case to the same extent such Persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses as of the Closing by the Company and the applicable Company’s Subsidiary pursuant to and subject to the limitations of, the Company’s and such Subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or similar organizational documents and indemnification agreements, if any, in existence as of the date hereof and provided to Buyer prior to the date hereof, each present and former manager, director and officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “D&O Indemnified Party”) against any costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, Losses, claims, damages, Liabilities and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Costs”) incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, based on, arising out of or related to such D&O Indemnified Parties’ service as a manager, director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or services performed by such Persons at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing (a “D&O Indemnifiable Claim”), including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any D&O Indemnified Party. In addition, for six (6) years after the Closing Date, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, advance to each D&O Indemnified Party all D&O Expenses incurred in connection with any D&O Indemnifiable Claim (including in circumstances where Buyer or the Company has assumed the defense of such claim) prior to the final disposition of any such D&O Indemnifiable Claim; provided, however, that the Person to whom D&O Expenses are to be advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Person is not entitled to indemnification. For the purposes of this Section 5.8(a), “D&O Expenses” will include attorneys’ fees and all other costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, to be a witness in or participate in any D&O Indemnifiable Claim, but will exclude Losses, judgments and amounts paid in settlement (which items are included in the definition of Costs).

If Buyer for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to (at Buyer’s expense), continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Closing, the D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with benefits, terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to (at Buyer’s expense), use reasonable best efforts to purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with benefits, terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ existing policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company and its Subsidiaries (at Buyer’s expense) be required to expend for such policies pursuant to this sentence, together with any amounts expended pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, an annual premium amount in excess of $1,700,000, which represents approximately 300% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries for such insurance; and provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to (at Buyer’s expense) obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(c) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company or such Subsidiary shall assume all of the obligations of the Company or such Subsidiary, respectively, set forth in this Section 5.8. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 5.8 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with its terms and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.8 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties and other insured persons under the

Company’s or its Subsidiary’s existing D&O Insurance, who are third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.8.

All rights to indemnification and exculpation from Liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any D&O Indemnified Party as provided in the Governing Documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall survive the Closing and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such D&O Indemnified Party without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party and each Person entitled to insurance coverage under this Section 5.8, respectively, and his or her heirs and legal representatives.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.8, with respect to any right to indemnification or advancement for acts or omissions occurring prior to or at the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall be the indemnitors of first resort, responsible for all such indemnification and advancement, without regard to any rights that any D&O Indemnified Party may have against any direct or indirect shareholder or equity holder of any of the Company or its Subsidiaries (or any Affiliate of such shareholder or equity holder) (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”) and without right to seek subrogation, indemnity or contribution from such Other Indemnitors. Each of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Buyer further agrees that no advance or payment by any Other Indemnitor with respect to any claim for which any D&O Indemnified Party has sought advancement or indemnification from the Company or its Subsidiaries shall affect the foregoing and that any Other Indemnitor shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all the rights of recovery of the D&O Indemnified Party against the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Company and its Subsidiaries hereby irrevocably waive, relinquish and release the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.

Each such Tax Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods (except to the extent a different treatment is required by an intervening change in Law or the Reorganization) and shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver a copy of a draft of each such Tax Return that is an income or franchise Tax Return and has a due date (taking into account any extension) following the date hereof (together with copies of the workpapers) to Buyer for its review and comment at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the applicable filing deadline and shall in all events deliver each such copy (and the related workpapers) no later than ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable filing deadline; provided that with respect to any such Tax Return that (i) is due within thirty (30) calendar days of the date hereof or (ii) is due on or prior to June 30, 2019 and is either an estimated Tax Return or a request for an extension of the due date of a Tax Return, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such copy and workpapers as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof.

(b) Seller and the Company shall not, and shall cause the Subsidiaries of the Company to not, file, or cause to be filed, any Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date if the due date for such Tax Return (taking into account applicable extensions) is after the Closing Date. If any Tax Return required to be filed by or for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is due to be filed (taking into account applicable extensions) within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare a draft of such Tax Return, provide a copy of such Tax Return (and workpapers) to Buyer for its review and comment at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the applicable filing deadline, and revise such Tax Return to reflect all comments provided by Buyer prior to the Closing Date, but for the avoidance of doubt Seller and its Subsidiaries will not file or cause to be filed such Tax Return.

(c) The parties hereto agree that for U.S. federal, state and local Tax purposes, the assignment, transfer, assumption and acquisition of those certain rights and obligations, all pursuant to Section 5.13(a) immediately prior to the Closing, shall be taken together and treated (under Section 302(b) of the Code) as being in exchange for a redemption of a portion of the Common Stock held by Seller immediately prior to the Closing.

SECTION 6.4 Tax Covenants of Buyer. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall (i) make any election under Section 338 or Section 336 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) make or change any Tax election, amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return, or take any other action with respect to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, in each case of this clause (ii), to the extent it would result in any increased Tax Liability or reduction of any Tax asset of Seller or its Affiliates.

SECTION 10.3 Waiver. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement by a Party shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other breach or failure to strictly comply with the provisions of this Agreement. The

failure of any Party to assert any rights or remedies shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies.

SECTION 10.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement having the same effect as if the signatures thereto 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 telecopy, electronic delivery or otherwise) to the other parties hereto. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

SECTION 10.5 Governing Law and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Specific Performance.

(a) This Agreement shall be deemed to be made in and in all respects shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the Law of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof to the extent that such principles would direct a matter to another jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal court in the State of Delaware, and in each case any appellate courts therefrom, in any Action arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action may be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Action so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address of the party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.6. Nothing in this Section 10.5, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.5 shall not limit the jurisdiction of the Accounting Arbitrator as set forth in Section 1.6 and shall include any Action brought for the purpose of enforcing the jurisdiction and judgments of the Accounting Arbitrator.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS

REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.5.

(d) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take all such actions as are necessary or required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or at Law or in equity and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (x) the other parties have an adequate remedy at Law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.5(d) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order or injunction. 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 at any time of any other remedy.

SECTION 10.6 Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party hereto to the others shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, by facsimile, by e-mail or by overnight courier:

SECTION 10.11 Interpretation; Construction; Disclosure Letter.

(a) The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, affect the meaning or interpretation or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without

limitation.” All pronouns and all variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the Person may require. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to any agreement (including this Agreement), contract, statute or regulation, such references are to, except as context may otherwise require, the agreement, contract, statute or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented, restated or replaced from time to time (in the case of an agreement or contract, to the extent permitted by the terms thereof); and to any section of any statute or regulation including any successor to the section and, in the case of any statute, any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. All references to “dollars” or “$” in this Agreement are to United States dollars. All references to “days” shall be to calendar days unless otherwise indicated as a “Business Day.” All references to “made available”, “provided” (or any phrase of similar import) shall include all documentation that has been posted to the online data room (including any “clean room”) for Project Gopher by a Representative of the Company as of 2:30 p.m. Eastern time on the date hereof, except to the extent such documentation is not then accessible by Buyer or its Representatives (other than as a result of (A) applicable “clean team” restrictions or (B) conditions and circumstances outside the control of Seller, the Company or their respective Representatives).

The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”.

(b) The parties hereto have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(c) Any information disclosed in any section of the Disclosure Schedules relating to any representation or warranty shall be deemed to be disclosed only with respect to (i) the correspondingly numbered Section of this Agreement and (ii) any other representation or warranty in Article II or Article III to the extent the relevance of such information to such other representation or warranty is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. The mere inclusion of any item in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules as an exception to any representation or warranty or otherwise shall not be deemed to constitute an admission or suggestion by the applicable party, or to otherwise imply, that any such item is or would reasonably be expected to be material or has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, is required to be disclosed, or otherwise represents a violation of, breach of or default under any Contract or Law or otherwise or an exception or material fact, event or circumstance for the purposes of this Agreement, or that such item meets or exceeds a monetary or other threshold specified for disclosure in this Agreement. Such disclosure shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the term “material,” “materially,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar qualification. Matters disclosed in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters that are required by this Agreement to be disclosed therein. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature or impose any duty or obligation to disclose any information beyond what is required by this Agreement, and disclosure of such additional matters shall not affect, directly or indirectly, the interpretation of this Agreement or the scope of the disclosure

obligations hereunder. Headings inserted in the sections or subsections of the Disclosure Schedules are for convenience of reference only and shall not have the effect of amending or changing the express terms of the sections or subsections as set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 10.12 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. No party to this Agreement may assign or transfer, directly or indirectly, any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Parties (other than pursuant to a sale, transfer or other business combination transaction involving Seller or Buyer, or a sale of all or substantially all of the respective assets of Seller or Buyer); provided, that a Party may assign any of or all of its rights, interest and obligations to any of its Affiliates, but no such assignment shall release the assigning Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement is null and void ab initio; provided, further that, subject to Section 1.6(h), nothing herein shall prevent or prohibit Seller to be dissolved, liquidated, terminated or cancelled following the Closing.

SECTION 10.13 Waiver of Conflicts.

(a) Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) covenants and agrees that, following the Closing, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP and any other internal or external legal counsel currently representing Seller and its Affiliates (each a “Prior Company Counsel”) may serve as counsel to Seller and its Affiliates, including a Selling Sponsor, in connection with any matters arising under or related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including with respect to any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, notwithstanding any representation by the Prior Company Counsel prior to the Closing Date of Seller and its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries). Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby irrevocably (i) waives any claim it has or may have that a Prior Company Counsel has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (ii) covenants and agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, Prior Company Counsel may represent Seller or any of its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Buyer, the Company or its Subsidiaries and even though Prior Company Counsel may have represented the Company or its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute.

(b) All communications prior to the Closing between direct and indirect holders of Common Stock (but in the case of indirect holders, solely in their capacity as indirect holders of Common Stock and not in any other capacity (including any other capacity as a manager, director, officer or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries)), the Company or its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Prior Company Counsel, on the other hand, to the extent related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to such direct and indirect holders of Common Stock and their respective Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) (the “Seller Pre-Closing Communications”). Accordingly, Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not have access to any such Seller Pre-Closing Communications or to the files of Prior Company Counsel relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from and after the Closing, and all books, records and other materials of the Company and its Subsidiaries in any medium

(including electronic copies) containing or reflecting any of the Seller Pre-Closing Communications or the work product of legal counsel with respect thereto, including any related summaries, drafts or analyses, and all rights with respect to any of the foregoing, are hereby assigned and transferred to Seller effective as of the Closing (collectively, the “Seller Privileged Materials”). The Seller Privileged Materials shall be excluded from the transfer contemplated by this Agreement and Seller shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to distribute the Seller Privileged Materials to Seller immediately prior to the Closing with no copies thereof retained by the Company or its Subsidiaries, or their respective representatives. To the extent that any Seller Privileged Materials are not delivered to Seller, Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) agrees not to assert a waiver of any applicable privilege or protection, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver all such Seller Privileged Materials to Seller promptly upon discovery thereof, without retaining copies thereof, it being understood that nothing herein shall prevent Buyer from complying with this obligation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (a) the direct and indirect holders of Common Stock (but in the case of indirect holders, solely in their capacity as indirect holders of Common Stock and not in any other capacity (including any other capacity as a manager, director, officer or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries)) and their respective Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Seller Privileged Materials, and none of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Prior Company Counsel in respect of Seller Privileged Materials constitute property of the client, only the direct and indirect holders of Common Stock and their respective Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall hold such property rights and (c) Prior Company Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any Seller Privileged Materials to the Company or its Subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Prior Company Counsel and the Company or its Subsidiaries, or otherwise. For avoidance of doubt, all communications between direct and indirect holders of Common Stock (but in the case of indirect holders, solely in their capacity as indirect holders of Common Stock and not in any other capacity (including any other capacity as a manager, director, officer or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries)), the Company or its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Prior Company Counsel, on the other hand, to the extent such communications do not constitute Seller Pre-Closing Communications or such communications are not related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be transferred to Buyer at time of the Closing. For further avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing shall prevent Buyer from complying with any court order, subpoena or any type of compulsory process. Buyer hereby acknowledges and confirms that it has had the opportunity to review and obtain adequate information regarding the significance and risks of the waivers and other terms and conditions of this Section 10.13, including the opportunity to discuss with counsel such matters and reasonable alternatives to such terms.

(c) The provisions of this Section 10.13 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, Seller, each direct and indirect holder of Common Stock in their capacity as such and each Prior Company Counsel, who are third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.13.

SECTION 10.14 Limitation on Recourse.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, no claim arising in whole or in part out of or related to this Agreement, the negotiation, interpretation, construction, validity or enforcement of this Agreement or the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement (whether sounding in contract, tort, statute or otherwise) shall be brought or maintained by or on behalf of any party or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or their respective successors or permitted assigns against any Person not a party hereto. Without limitation of the foregoing, no claim described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be brought or maintained against any past, present or future officer, director, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, management company, member, stockholder, equity holder, controlling Person, representative or Affiliate, or any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of any of the foregoing, of Buyer, the Company (including its Subsidiaries) or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates (including, in the case of Seller, the Selling Sponsors), as applicable, unless such Person is a party, and no recourse shall be had against any of them in respect of any such claim, including in connection with any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of or omission in any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any party set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit Buyer’s or any Selling Sponsor’s rights and remedies under any Letter Agreement against the parties thereto.

(b) The parties agree that, subject to the limitations in Section 10.1, nothing in this Agreement (including in Section 10.14(a) or Section 9.1) shall limit (i) any Person’s right to bring a claim until the latest time permitted by applicable Law based on the intentional fraud of any other Person (such other Person, the “Fraudulent Actor”) against such Fraudulent Actor in respect of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein at any time following the Closing Date (which claim, for the avoidance of doubt may only be brought in respect of the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement with respect to which the intentional fraud of such Fraudulent Actor is being claimed), or (ii) any of the first specified Person’s rights against such Fraudulent Actor pursuant to any such claim.

SECTION 10.15 Release. Effective as of the Closing (but only if the Closing actually occurs), except for any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer, on behalf of itself, Seller, on behalf of itself, and each of Buyer and Seller on behalf of its respective Affiliates (including, in the case of Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries, and, in the case of Seller, excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries), and each of their respective past, present or future general or limited partners, management companies, members, stockholders, equity holders or controlling Persons, or any successor or assign of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges (the “Release”) the other Party and its Affiliates (including, in the case of Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries, and, in the case of Seller, excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries), and each of their respective past, present or future officers, directors, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, management companies, members, stockholders, equity holders, controlling Persons, representatives or Affiliates, or any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Parties”) of and from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, executions, judgments, duties, debts, dues, accounts, bonds, contracts and covenants (whether express or implied), and claims and demands whatsoever whether in law or in equity (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) which the Releasing Parties may have against any of the Released Parties, now or in the future (each, a “Claim”), in each case in respect of any cause, matter or thing relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries or the operation of the business, operations or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any actions taken or failed to be taken by any of the Released Parties in any capacity related to the Company and its Subsidiaries or the operation of the business, operations or properties of the Company and its

Subsidiaries, in each case, occurring or arising on or prior to the Closing but only to the extent that such cause, matter or thing does not otherwise constitute intentional fraud; provided, however, that, in the case of any Releasing Party that is a Company Employee or Company Independent Contractor, the foregoing Release shall not be deemed given or made in respect of any Claim other than Claims that arise from such Releasing Party’s ownership of any Equity Interests of Seller or any of its Affiliates. The provisions of this Section 10.15 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Released Parties, who are third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.15.
