As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties in Article III, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time, or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a material default or material breach or a failure to satisfy a condition precedent on the part of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or, to the knowledge of Buyer, any other party to the Debt Commitment Letter, under the terms and conditions of the Debt Commitment Letter other than any such default, breach or failure that has been waived by the Lenders, or otherwise cured in a timely manner by Buyer or its Affiliates to the satisfaction of the Lenders. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties in Article III and assuming the Seller complies with and performs in all material respects all of its agreements and covenants under this Agreement, Buyer (i) has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it or its Affiliates contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and (ii) has no reason to believe that any portion of the Debt Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not be made available to Buyer on the Closing Date, including any reason to believe that any of the Lenders will not perform their funding obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms and conditions.

(a) During the period commencing at the Closing and ending on December 31, 2020 (or if earlier, the date of the employee’s termination of employment with the applicable member of the Company Group), Buyer shall and shall cause each member of the Company Group to provide each employee of the Company Group who (i) is not represented by a labor organization and is not a Temporary Liberty Employee, and (ii) remains employed by a member of the Company Group immediately after the Closing (each, a “Company Continuing Employee”) with: (A) base salary or hourly wages, cash bonus and other cash incentive opportunities (excluding equity and equity-based rights and cash- and equity-based transaction and retention bonuses), that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the base salary or hourly wages, cash bonus or other cash incentive opportunities (excluding equity and equity-based rights and cash- and equity-based transaction and retention bonuses), provided to such Company Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (B) retirement and welfare benefits (excluding any single employer defined benefit pension plans, retiree welfare plans, or benefits attributable to such plans), that, at the election of Buyer, are either no less favorable in the aggregate than (y) those retirement and welfare benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer or its Subsidiaries or (z) those retirement and welfare benefits (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any single employer defined benefit pension plans, retiree welfare plans, or benefits attributable to such plans) provided to such Company Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, that Buyer shall have no obligation to provide any base salary or hourly wages or cash bonus and other cash incentive opportunities to any Company Continuing Employee during any period such Company Continuing Employee is laid off but whose employment is not terminated (including during any winter layoff period) consistent with the past practices of the member of the Company Group who employed such Company Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, any severance benefits due and payable under any Retention Incentive Agreement (as defined in the Disclosure Schedules) following Closing shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer and its Affiliates (including the members of the Company Group). (b) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Buyer or its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Buyer Benefit Plans”) in which any Company Continuing Employees will participate effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the Company Group to, recognize all service of the Company Continuing Employees with the Company Group as if such service were with Buyer, for vesting and eligibility purposes in any Buyer Benefit Plan in which such Company Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing; provided, however, such service 37

shall not be recognized (x) to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits, (y) to the extent that such service was not recognized under the corresponding Benefit Plan, or (z) with respect to Buyer Benefit Plans that are defined benefit pension plans, equity incentive plans, post- retirement or post-employment welfare arrangements, or severance policies. (c) This Section 5.05 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.05 shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.05. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 5.05 shall not create any right in any employee or any other Person to any continued employment with any member of the Company Group, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever. Section 5.06 Facility Closings and Mass Layoffs. At the Closing, Seller shall provide to Buyer a list of each employee of Seller or its Affiliates (including members of the Company Group) who, in the 90 days prior to Closing: (a) was laid off; (b) had his or her hours of employment reduced by a member of the Company Group by more than 50%; or (c) had his or her employment terminated for any reason other than for cause, voluntary departure or retirement. For each such employee, such list shall identify the Vessel or facility at which such employee worked immediately prior to such action and the effective date thereof. Persons who worked for Seller or its Affiliates (including members of the Company Group) for less than six months at the time of the action, or who did not work at facilities or on Vessels where, to Seller’s Knowledge, Company Continuing Employees will be located following the Closing, may be excluded from such list. Section 5.07 Director and Officer Indemnification. (a) Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by any member of the Company Group now existing in favor of each Person who is now or has been at any time on or prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer or director of any member of the Company Group, as provided in the Organizational Documents of the applicable member of the Company Group, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other agreements in effect on the date hereof and disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules, shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms for a period of six years following the Closing Date. (b) Seller shall acquire a six year “tail” insurance policy with a maximum limit of $5,000,000 that provides officers’ and directors’ liability insurance for such officers and directors of the Company Group who are, as of and prior to the Closing Date, covered by Seller’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policies with respect to actions and omissions occurring prior to the Closing, which such policy shall be effective at Closing. At Closing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for 50% of the actual cost of such policy. (c) The obligations of Buyer and each member of the Company Group under this Section 5.07 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any director or officer to whom this Section 5.07 applies without the consent of such affected director or officer (it being expressly agreed that the directors and officers to whom this Section 5.07 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.07, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.07). (d) In the event Buyer, any member of the Company Group or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing 38

or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or any such member of the Company Group, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.07. Section 5.08 Confidentiality. Each party hereto covenants and agrees that, following the Closing, it shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep confidential and not disclose to any Person, or otherwise use for any purpose, except in connection with the marketing of the Debt Financing (subject to customary confidentiality arrangements) or as may otherwise be contemplated in this Agreement, any Confidential Information of the other party hereto or such other party’s Affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, the members of the Company Group will be Affiliates of Buyer following the Closing). As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means with respect to any Person, all non-public information regarding such Person and includes information about such Person’s organization, personnel, business activities, customers, policies, assets, finances, costs, sales, revenues, technology, rights, obligations, liabilities and strategies; provided, however, that a party hereto shall not have any restrictive obligation with respect to any Confidential Information of the other party hereto or such other party’s Affiliates which (i) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this Section 5.08, (ii) is or becomes available to such party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than such party’s Affiliates or the other party hereto and such other party’s Affiliates) which, to the best of such party’s knowledge after due inquiry, is not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (iii) was independently developed or derived without reliance on any Confidential Information. If any party is required by applicable Law to disclose any Confidential Information, the procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Confidentiality Agreement are incorporated herein and made a part hereof as if fully set forth with particularity. Section 5.09 Non-competition; Non-solicitation. (a) For a period of five years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Restricted Business; (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Restricted Business in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (iii) intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships between any member of the Company Group and any customer or supplier of the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and its Affiliates may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if none of Seller or its Affiliates is a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person. (b) For a period of (x) three years, with respect to executive officers and other senior management of the members of the Company Group and officers of the Vessels and (y) one year with respect to all other employees and independent contractors of the Company Group, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to directly or indirectly, solicit or hire or engage any employee of the Company Group or encourage any employee or independent contractor of the Company Group to leave or diminish his or her employment or other relationship with any member of the Company Group; provided that nothing in this Section 5.09(b) shall prevent Seller or any of its Affiliates from (i) engaging in a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any employee or independent contractor of the Company Group, or (ii) soliciting or hiring any employee of the Company Group whose employment has been terminated either by such employee or by any member of the Company Group more than 90 days prior to the date of such solicitation or hiring. 39

(c) During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit or entice, or attempt to solicit or entice, any clients or customers of the Business for purposes of diverting all or any portion of their business or services from the Business. (d) Seller acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.09 will give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Seller of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction, without having to post bond. The Restricted Period shall be tolled, and shall not run, during the period of any breach by Seller of this Section 5.09. In any action to enforce any term, condition or provision of this Section 5.09, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred in connection with such action. (e) Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.09 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.09 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.09 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provision hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction. No breach of any provision of this Agreement shall operate to extinguish Seller’s obligation to comply with this Section 5.09. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 5.09 shall not apply to any third party or its Affiliates (other than Seller and the entities (or successors thereof) which were Affiliates of Seller immediately prior to the acquisition by such third party as contemplated below) which (i) acquires a majority equity interest in Seller or in any Affiliate of Seller, or (ii) acquires all or a portion of the business or assets of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, regardless of the form of such transaction. Section 5.10 Governmental Approvals and Other Third-Party Consents (a) Each party hereto shall, as promptly as possible, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders and approvals from all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Each party hereto shall cooperate fully with the other party and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. The parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying in a significant manner, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. If required by the HSR Act and if the appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act has not been filed prior to the date hereof, each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within ten Business Days after the date hereof, or as otherwise agreed between the parties, and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authority any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. 40

(b) Without limiting the generality of each party’s undertaking pursuant to this Section 5.10, and subject to the immediately following sentence, each party agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other party so as to enable the parties hereto to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as possible. Nothing in this Agreement shall require either of the parties or any of their respective Affiliates to agree or otherwise commit to the sale, divestiture or disposition of any of their respective assets, properties or businesses or to modify their respective operations or business practices. (c) All analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments and proposals made by or on behalf of either party hereto before any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any interactions between Seller or any member of the Company Group with Governmental Authorities in the Ordinary Course of Business, any disclosure which is not permitted by Law or any disclosure containing confidential information that is not permitted by Law or Contract to be disclosed) shall be disclosed to the other party hereunder in advance of any filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments and proposals. Each party hereto shall, to the extent permitted by Law and/or such Governmental Authority, give advance notice to the other party with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, with such notice being sufficient to provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact. (d) Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give all notices to, and obtain all consents from, all third parties that are described in Section 5.10 of the Disclosure Schedules; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom consent or approval is requested. Section 5.11 Books and Records. Following the Closing, subject to Buyer’s standard record destruction policies, Buyer agrees that it shall cause each member of the Company Group to, (a) preserve and keep the books and records held by them or their Affiliates as of the Closing Date relating to the Business for a period of seven years from the Closing Date, and (b) upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of Seller reasonable access (including the right to make, at Seller’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours and in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Company Group and the Business, to such books and records; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time Buyer or any member of the Company Group intends to destroy any books and records, Buyer shall not, and shall cause each member of the Company Group not to, destroy any books and records held by them or their Affiliates to the extent such books and records are subject to a litigation hold or relate to any then pending or threatened Action to which Seller may have indemnification obligations pursuant to Article VII, in each case of the foregoing, solely to the extent that Seller has notified Buyer in writing of the need to refrain from destroying books and records (identified with reasonable specificity in such written notice) due to any such litigation hold, pending or threatened Action or potential indemnification obligation, as applicable Section 5.12 Tax Matters. (a) Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, all required federal, state and local Tax Returns for the Company Group for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (including any consolidated, unitary or combined Tax Return that includes any 41

member of the Company Group). Buyer and its Affiliates shall execute any powers of attorney reasonably requested by Seller on behalf of the Company Group in order for the Representatives selected by Seller to satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence. All such Tax Returns prepared or caused to be prepared by Seller (including amendments thereto) shall be prepared consistent with the past practice of the Company Group, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Seller shall ensure that such Tax Returns are timely filed and that any Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns are paid at the time of filing. The Company Group’s final Tax period ending prior to the Closing Date shall end on the close of business on the Closing Date in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A)(1) (and similar provisions under state law to the extent available for all income Tax purposes). Any transactions of the Company Group that occur on the Closing Date and after the Closing (meaning only such transactions as are effected by or at the direction of Buyer) which are outside the Ordinary Course of Business shall be subject to the next day rule as such rule is provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B). Buyer shall cause each member of the Company Group to furnish information to Seller as reasonably requested by Seller to allow Seller to satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.12 in accordance with past custom and practice. Buyer hereby irrevocably designates, and agrees to cause each of its Affiliates to so designate, Seller as its agent to take any and all actions necessary or incidental to the preparation and filing of any such Tax Returns. Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared and will timely file or cause to be timely filed all other Tax Returns required in respect of the Company Group, including any Tax Return for a Straddle Period, but excluding any Tax Return with respect to periods for which the consolidated, unitary or combined Tax Returns of Seller will include the operations of any member of the Company Group. Any such Tax Returns (including amendments thereto) that include Pre-Closing Tax Periods will, unless Seller otherwise consents in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), be prepared on a basis consistent with the elections, accounting methods, conventions and principles of taxation used for the most recent taxable periods for which Tax Returns involving similar matters have been filed. The party responsible for the preparation of a particular income or gross receipts Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a portion of a Straddle Period) shall make available a draft of such Tax Return (or relevant portions thereof) a reasonable time before the date the filing is required (and no fewer than twenty Business Days), for review and comment by such non- responsible party (but, if due within thirty Business Days after Closing, as soon as reasonably practicable). With respect to any income or gross receipts Tax Return for a Straddle Period, Buyer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) such Tax Return and shall deliver such Tax Return to Seller for its review at least 45 days (and no fewer than twenty Business Days) prior to the date such Tax Return is required to be filed (but, if due within thirty Business Days after Closing, as soon as reasonably practicable). If Seller disputes any item on such income or gross receipts Tax Return, it shall notify Buyer of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection within 10 days of its receipt of such Tax Return. Nothing in this Section 5.12 shall obligate Seller or its Affiliates to provide any Tax Return information relating to any consolidated, unitary or combined Tax Return of which Seller or its Affiliates is a member, other than solely with respect to the Company Group. (b) Seller shall be responsible for any Pre-Closing Taxes due in respect of any Tax Return required to be filed before, on or after the Closing Date (except to the extent such Taxes are actually taken into account as a Current Liability in the calculation of Closing Working Capital or in the calculation of Indebtedness in computing the adjustment to Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.04, were previously paid by Seller, its Affiliates or any member of the Company Group prior to Closing as estimated Taxes or were paid by Seller or its Affiliates as part of a consolidated, unitary or combined Tax Return of Seller, its Affiliates or any member of the Company Group), and shall remit payment of such Pre-Closing Taxes to the applicable taxing authority, no later than five Business Days prior to the date such Tax Return is due; provided, however, that Buyer hereby assumes and agrees to pay directly the share of such Taxes relating to the Company Group for the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 5.12(f). 42

(c) Seller will be entitled to retain or receive immediate payment from Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including each member of the Company Group following the Closing) of any cash Tax refund received by Buyer or the Company Group or credit received in lieu of such a Tax refund that reduces a Tax payment otherwise due arising with respect to the Company Group (including refunds and credits arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date or otherwise) for Taxes of any Pre- Closing Tax Period. Such refunds and credits due to Seller shall not include any Tax refund or credit attributable to the carryback of a net operating loss or other Tax attribute from a period beginning on or after the Closing Date arising from an action taken by Buyer or the Company Group after the Closing. Buyer and each member of the Company Group will be entitled to retain, or receive immediate payment from Seller of, any refund or credit with respect to Taxes with respect to any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date relating to the Company Group. Buyer and Seller will equitably apportion any refund or credit with respect to Taxes with respect to any Straddle Period in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 5.12(f). The amount of any refund or credit which Buyer or Seller is entitled to retain or receive pursuant to this Section 5.12(c) shall be reduced to take account of any Taxes payable as a result of the receipt of such refund or credit, and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. All payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 5.12(c) shall be made within 30 days after actually realized by Seller, Buyer or the Company (or its Subsidiaries), as the case may be (i.e., in the case of a refund, after actually receiving the cash Tax return, and in the case of a credit, after such credit actually reduces a Tax otherwise due). (d) Seller shall not amend, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return, Tax election or Tax accounting method with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall amend, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return, Tax election or Tax accounting period, or enter into any voluntary disclosure Contract with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, without the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (e) Buyer and Seller shall provide prompt written notice to the other upon receipt by Buyer, Seller, any of their respective Affiliates or any member of the Company Group of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits, examinations, claims for refund, judicial proceedings or assessments which might affect the Tax liabilities for which Seller may be responsible pursuant to this Agreement (any such audit, claim for refund, or proceeding relating to any asserted Tax Liability referred to herein as a “Contest”). Seller shall have the right to represent the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ interests in any Contest relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods or otherwise relating to Taxes for which Seller may be liable pursuant to this Agreement (other than Straddle Periods, in each case), to employ counsel of its choice at its expense and, to the extent reasonably requested by Seller, Buyer or its Affiliates shall cause a power of attorney to be issued to Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ representatives to effect such representation. Buyer shall be entitled to participate in any such Contest at its expense, and any settlement, compromise, or other disposition of any such Contest may only be made with the written consent of Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Seller does not elect to control a Contest, fails to notify Buyer properly as provided above of its election to control a Contest, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of a Contest, Buyer may control such Contest, but such Contest shall not be settled or compromised without Seller’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the case of a Straddle Period, Seller shall be entitled to participate at its expense in any Contest relating (in whole or in part) to Taxes attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and, with the written consent of Buyer, and at Seller’s sole expense, may assume the entire control of such Contest, subject to Buyer’s right of continued participation. Neither Seller (if Seller elects to control such Contest) nor any of Buyer, any of its Affiliates or any member of the Company Group (if Seller does not so elect) shall compromise or settle or otherwise dispose of any Contest relating to a Straddle Period without the consent of the non-controlling party unless such non-controlling party shall have no Liability in connection with such settlement or 43

compromise, but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. A party’s right of participation in a Contest shall be at such party’s own expense and shall include, but shall not be limited to, the right to receive copies of all correspondence from any Governmental Authority relating to such Contest, attend meetings and review and comment on submissions relating to any such Contest, and the party controlling such Contest shall consider in good faith any comments provided by the participating party. (f) In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any Taxes that are treated as being for a Pre-Closing Tax Period for purposes of this Agreement shall be: (a) in the case of Taxes other than property or similar ad valorem Taxes, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if such taxable period ended at the close of the Closing Date, determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), and (b) in the case of property or similar ad valorem Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. (g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent permitted by Law, any Tax or item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit resulting from any transaction engaged in by any member of the Company Group on the Closing Date after the Closing or at the written direction of Buyer that is not contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation any transaction engaged in by any member of the Company Group in connection with the financing of any obligation of Buyer to make a payment, shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period (or any taxable period or portion thereof of Buyer) beginning on the day after the Closing Date and shall not be allocated to any Pre- Closing Tax Period nor result in Pre-Closing Taxes for which any member of the Company Group shall be liable. (h) All tax sharing Contracts (or similar Contracts) and all powers of attorney with respect to the Company Group shall be terminated prior to the Closing, and, after the Closing, no member of the Company Group shall be bound thereby or have any Liability or obligation thereunder. (i) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.01, no member of the Company Group shall make, change or revoke any Tax election, surrender any Tax refund or right to claim a Tax refund, offset or other reduction in Tax Liability, change any annual Tax accounting period, amend any Tax Return, adopt or change any accounting method in respect of Taxes, enter into any “closing agreement” described in Section 7121 of the Code (or any similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Law), settle or compromise any Tax audit or Tax Liability, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any claim or assessment in respect of any Taxes, or fail to make required payments of any Taxes (including estimated Taxes). (j) In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 5.12 and Article VII, the provisions of this Section 5.12 shall control. Section 5.13 Closing Conditions. From the date hereof until the Closing, each party hereto shall, and Seller shall cause each member of the Company Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article VI hereof and, subject to satisfaction of such closing conditions, to otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. From the date hereof until the Closing, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any fact, change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or 44

nonoccurrence of any event of which it is aware that will or is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VI becoming incapable of being satisfied. Section 5.14 Public Announcements. None of Buyer (including the members of the Company Group following Closing) or Seller (including the members of the Company Group prior to Closing) or any of their respective Affiliates or Representative shall issue, permit to be issued (to the extent within such party’s control) or cause the publication of any press release or public announcement or otherwise communicate with any news media in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including economic terms or conditions or other material terms or conditions related to the transactions contemplated hereby) without prior consultation with and providing an advance draft of any such press release, announcement or communication to Seller or Buyer, as applicable; provided however, that Buyer, its Affiliates that are private equity or other investment funds or vehicles and Seller may disclose any information concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to a third party who is subject to customary confidentiality restrictions, including investors, limited partners, potential investors, lenders and rating agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that Seller, as a publicly held company, is subject to certain disclosure requirements under applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules and, therefore, Buyer agrees that Seller may disclose this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby at any xxxx Xxxxxx determines in good faith that such disclosure is appropriate or desirable under such securities laws or rules; provided, however, that if such disclosure is in the nature of a press release, Seller may make such disclosure only after complying with the advance review procedures provided under the first sentence of this Section 5.14. Section 5.15 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances, and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Section 5.16 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by Buyer when due. Buyer shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Seller shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary). Section 5.17 Financing. (a) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller will, and will cause the members of the Company Group and Seller’s and the members of the Company Group’s officers (including the management of the members of the Company Group), employees, advisors and other representatives to, reasonably cooperate with Buyer as is customary and reasonably requested by Buyer, and at Buyer’s sole expense, in connection with Buyer’s arrangement and obtaining of the Debt Financing; provided, however, that such cooperation does not: (i) require (A) the entry by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than any member of the Company Group) into any agreement (whether or not conditioned on the Closing) or (B) the entry by any member of the Company Group into any agreement the effectiveness of which is, or any of such Person’s obligations thereunder are, not conditioned on the Closing (in the case of each of (A) and (B), other than with respect to customary authorization letters in connection with the marketing of the Debt Financing), (ii) unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of Seller, the members of the Company Group, any of their respective Affiliates or the Business, (iii) include any actions that would conflict with or result in a violation of any Law, (iv) require the waiver or amendment of any terms of this Agreement or the payment of any fees or reimbursement of any expenses for which Seller or any member of the Company Group has not received prior reimbursement or is not otherwise indemnified by Buyer, 45

(v) cause any director, officer or employee of Seller or any member of the Company Group to incur any personal liability or (vi) require the taking of any action that would cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached or that would cause any closing condition set forth in Article VI to fail to be satisfied or that would otherwise cause a breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Subject to the foregoing limitations, such cooperation will include (1) making appropriate officers available for participation in meetings, lender calls and due diligence sessions (including direct contact between senior management of the members of the Company Group, on the one hand, and the actual and potential lenders, on the other hand) in each case only to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer, (2) reasonable assistance in the preparation of offering memoranda, private placement memoranda, bank confidential information memoranda, business projections, pro forma financial statements and similar documents customary in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, (3) using reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the marketing efforts of Buyer and the Lenders with respect to the Debt Financing, (4) causing the members of the Company Group to execute and deliver customary definitive financing documents; provided, that the effectiveness of any definitive documentation executed by any member of the Company Group shall be subject to the occurrence of the Closing, (5) furnishing Buyer and any Lenders promptly, and in any event at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with all documentation and other information required by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Debt Financing under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, as amended, to the extent requested by Buyer in writing at least nine Business Days prior to the expected Closing Date, (6) facilitating the granting of a security interest (and perfection thereof) in collateral solely with respect to the Business and delivering guarantees, mortgages and other definitive documents or other certificates or documents as may be reasonably requested by Buyer (the effectiveness of which shall be subject to the occurrence of the Closing), including obtaining the Payoff Letters and releases of existing Encumbrances, and (7) ensuring that the Lenders and their advisors and consultants shall have sufficient access to complete a commercial finance audit examination and inventory appraisal of the Business prior to the Closing Date. (b) Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller (or, at Seller’s direction, any member of the Company Group) for all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Seller or any member of the Company Group and their respective officers, employees, consultants and other Representatives in connection with the cooperation contemplated by this Section 5.17 and shall reimburse, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, any member of the Company Group and their respective officers, employees, consultants and other Representatives from, against and in respect of any and all Losses resulting from, or that exist or arise due to or in connection with the Debt Financing, including in connection with the provision of the cooperation contemplated by this Section 5.17, and any information used in connection therewith, whether or not any such proceeding is brought by Buyer or Buyer’s equityholders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person (other than with respect to Losses to the extent resulting from (i) written historical information relating to the Business provided by Seller (or on behalf of Seller by an authorized Representative) for purposes of the Debt Financing which contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make such information, in light of the circumstances in which it was provided, not misleading, (ii) the fraud or willful misconduct of Seller, or (iii) intentional breach in a material respect of this Agreement by Seller or the breach of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Article III or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of Seller or any member of the Company Group shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other Liability in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Closing Date. (c) Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take, directly or indirectly, any action that would result in or would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of any of the conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or in any definitive agreement relating to the Debt Financing contemplated thereby. In addition, Buyer shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, 46

any termination, rescission or withdrawal of, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter, in each case without obtaining Seller’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to the extent such amendment, modification, termination, rescission, withdrawal or waiver would, or would reasonably be expected to, (A) reduce the aggregate amount of financing available under the Debt Commitment Letter, (B) impose any new or additional condition, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any condition, to the receipt of any portion of the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, or (C) otherwise expand, amend, modify or waive any provision of the Debt Commitment Letter in a manner that could reasonably be expected to (1) materially delay or make less likely the funding of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Debt Financing) on the Closing Date, (2) materially delay the Closing, or (3) adversely affect the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter (or the definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing) or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; provided that Buyer may (without the consent of Seller) replace, modify, waive or amend the Debt Commitment Letter (1) in accordance with the “market flex” provisions thereof, (2) to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement, and (3) in any other respect, if in the case of this clause (3) such replacements, modifications, waivers or amendments would not reasonably be expected to materially delay the Closing or prevent the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller correct and complete copies of any amendment, modification or waiver to or under the Debt Commitment Letter entered into in accordance with this Section 5.17(c). (d) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, as promptly as possible, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange the Debt Financing and obtain the financing contemplated thereby on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including (i) maintaining in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) negotiating, executing and delivering definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions contained therein so that such agreements are in effect on the Closing Date, (iii) satisfying, or cause to be satisfied, on a timely basis all conditions and obligations applicable to Buyer and its Affiliates in the Debt Commitment Letter and such definitive agreements, and (iv) upon the satisfaction (or waiver) of all of the conditions set forth herein and in the Debt Commitment Letter, consummating the Debt Financing at the Closing. (e) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms (including any flex provisions) and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter and such portion of the Debt Financing is required to fund the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, (i) alternative debt financing for any such portion from alternative sources and (ii) one or more new Debt Commitment Letters and new definitive agreements with respect to such alternative debt financing, in each case (A) which shall not expand upon the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding on the Closing Date of the Debt Financing as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter in effect on the date hereof or otherwise materially delay or make less likely the funding of the Debt Financing or adversely affect the ability or likelihood of Buyer to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) on terms that are not less favorable from the standpoint of Buyer than those in the Debt Commitment Letter (including the flex provisions applicable thereto). Buyer shall promptly provide Seller with a copy of any new Debt Commitment Letters. If any new Debt Commitment Letters are obtained, (1) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include such new Debt Commitment Letters to the extent still then in effect, (2) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as modified pursuant to the 47

foregoing and (3) any reference in this Agreement to the “Lenders” shall be deemed to include the lender parties to such new Debt Commitment Letters to the extent still then in effect. (f) Buyer shall, at the written request of Seller, keep Seller informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of all material activity concerning the Debt Financing (including the status of its efforts to obtain the Debt Financing or any alternative financing pursuant to Section 5.17(e)). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller (A) of any material breach or material default by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing of which Buyer or its Affiliates becomes aware, (B) of the receipt by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of any notice or communication from any Lender with respect to any breach (or threatened breach) or default, or any termination or repudiation, in each case by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing of any provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter or such definitive agreements and (C) if for any reason Buyer at any time believes it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing. Buyer shall provide any information reasonably requested by Seller of which Buyer is aware relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the immediately preceding sentence. (g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the Debt Financing is not a condition to Closing and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the financing, subject to fulfillment or written waiver of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI. Section 5.18 Exclusivity. From the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the members of the Company Group) to not, directly or indirectly (including through any of their respective Representatives), enter into any Contract, agreement in principle or other commitment with any Person (other than Buyer and its Affiliates) or provide any information to any Person (and shall affirmatively shutdown access to any data rooms (virtual or otherwise) maintained in connection therewith) relating to any acquisition or purchase of any Equity Interests of any member of the Company Group or all or any material portion of the assets of the Company Group (in each case, however structured and other than inventory or obsolete equipment sold or otherwise disposed of in the Ordinary Course of Business) (collectively, an “M&A Transaction”), or solicit, induce or initiate the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person to effect any M&A Transaction, nor solicit, participate in, maintain or continue any ongoing discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding any effort or attempt by any such Person to effect an M&A Transaction; provided, however, that this Section 5.18 shall not apply to the consideration by Seller and its Affiliates of any transaction which may result in a direct or indirect change of control (however structured) of or involving Seller (including its Subsidiaries), any sale of material assets of or involving Seller (including its Subsidiaries), any reorganization, recapitalization or similar arrangement involving Seller (including its Subsidiaries) or any material commercial transaction regarding any business combination involving Seller (including its Subsidiaries). Section 5.19 Winter Work. Without limiting the terms of Section 5.01, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.01, and to the extent not already completed in accordance with the Winter Work Budget and Work Plan prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make, or cause to be made, and conduct, or cause to be conducted, as applicable, the capital expenditures and “winter work maintenance” contemplated by the Winter Work Budget and Work Plan substantially in accordance with the Winter Work Budget and Work Plan, with, subject to the following sentence, such modifications thereof as Seller may deem necessary or advisable in the Ordinary 48

Course of Business of the Company Group. Seller shall not be permitted to make any such modification without first obtaining Buyer’s prior written consent (email to be sufficient), not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if such modification would either (a) result in a change (whether positive or negative) of more than five percent with respect to the amount of any line item set forth in the Winter Work Budget and Work Plan, and such change would reasonably be expected to have an impact on any particular Vessel in excess of $100,000 or (b) constitute the addition of any new line item to, or the removal of any existing line item from, the Winter Work Budget and Work Plan, in each case, if the amount of any such line item is either (x) in excess of $25,000 individually or (y) with respect to any particular Vessel, in excess of $100,000 when aggregated together with all such line items. Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt written notice (and in any event within two Business days of Seller becoming aware and written notice by email to Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxx Rinnevaara be sufficient) of any material delay or other material development that would reasonably be expected to result in such capital expenditures and winter work maintenance not being completed in the manner described in the preceding sentence. In addition, Seller shall otherwise keep Buyer reasonably informed and provide Buyer with reasonable detail on a regular basis (but not more frequently than once every two weeks) with respect to the status of, and any material developments with respect to, such capital expenditures and winter work maintenance and the conduct thereof. Without limiting the foregoing or the terms of Section 5.02, throughout the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.01, upon prior written notice (email to be sufficient) from Buyer to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to afford not more than an aggregate of three individuals at any given time from Buyer and its Representatives, at Buyer’s risk, reasonable access during normal business hours to the docks and facilities at which such capital expenditures and winter work maintenance is being conducted and a reasonable opportunity to inspect and monitor the conduct and implementation of such capital expenditures and winter work maintenance; provided that (i) such individuals shall at all times be accompanied by a Representative of Seller (provided that Seller causes such a Representative to be available for such purpose at all such times), (ii) such individuals shall act solely in an observer capacity and in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with normal operations, and (iii) such access, inspection and monitoring shall be subject to any restrictions imposed by either the owners and/or operators of such docks and facilities or by any third party contractors conducting such capital expenditure and winter work maintenance. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 5.19 and Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, the provisions of this Section 5.19 shall control. Section 5.20 Insurance Funds. (a) From and after the Closing, if any member of the Company Group receives any funds relating to the insurance claim with respect to the St. Clair Incident (including without limitation any funds due to the Company Group as reflected on the accounting records of the Company Group as of the date hereof as account number 122521 (Insurance Deductibles)), Buyer shall cause such member of the Company Group to remit such funds to Seller within five Business Days after its receipt thereof; provided, however, that in the event that Buyer receives any such funds or insurance proceeds in excess of the St. Clair Reimbursement Amount, the amount to be remitted to Seller shall be decreased by the amount of Taxes due on such excess (calculated at a combined U.S. federal, state and local Tax rate of 25%; provided, that such Tax rate shall be adjusted to take into account the apportionment of state and local Taxes for the most recently completed taxable year of the Company Group as of the time such funds are received (as such apportionment is determined in connection with the preparation of the Company Group’s income Tax Returns for such taxable year)). (b) Once known, Seller shall provide Buyer with the final American Integrity Reimbursement Amount. From and after the Closing, if any member of the Company Group receives any funds relating to the insurance claim with respect to the American Integrity Incident (including without 49

limitation any funds due to the Company Group as reflected on the accounting records of the Company Group as of the date hereof as account number 122521 (Insurance Deductibles)), Buyer shall cause such member of the Company Group to remit such funds to Seller within five Business Days after its receipt thereof; provided, however, that in the event that Buyer receives any such funds or insurance proceeds in excess of the final American Integrity Reimbursement Amount, the amount to be remitted to Seller shall be decreased by the amount of Taxes due on such excess (calculated at a combined U.S. federal, state and local Tax rate of 25%; provided, that such Tax rate shall be adjusted to take into account the apportionment of state and local Taxes for the most recently completed taxable year of the Company Group as of the time such funds are received (as such apportionment is determined in connection with the preparation of the Company Group’s income Tax Returns for such taxable year)). (c) From and after the Closing, Seller shall (i) be responsible for any cost incurred, including any premium or other required payments, by Buyer and/or any member of the Company Group in connection with maintaining insurance coverage for the St. Clair vessel for the period prior to the Closing and (ii) to the extent not taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, reimburse Buyer for any such cost or payment within five Business Days following Seller’s receipt of an invoice from Buyer with respect thereto. (d) Any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 5.20 shall be made by the applicable party by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire instructions provided by the other party. Section 5.21 Supplement to Disclosure Schedules. If the Closing does not occur prior to June 30, 2020, from time to time during the period beginning on July 1, 2020 and ending on the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules hereto with respect to any matter arising on or after July 1, 2020 (each a “Schedule Supplement”). Each Schedule Supplement shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement solely for purposes of determining whether the representations and warranties contained in Article III were true and correct as of the Closing Date (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, for determining whether any such representations or warranties were true and correct as of the date of this Agreement), other than for purposes of the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(a); provided, however, that if Buyer has the right to (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Schedule Supplement would result in the condition set forth in Section 6.02(a) not being capable of being satisfied as of the Closing, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i)), but does not elect to, terminate this Agreement within the earlier to occur of the expiration of ten Business Days of its receipt of such Schedule Supplement or the Closing Date, then Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i) with respect to the matters disclosed in such Schedule Supplement and, further, such Schedule Supplement shall also be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement with respect to the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(a).

The covenants and agreement set forth in Section 5.01 and in Section 5.19 shall survive until the date that is 120 days from the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved (and, if applicable, paid). Section 7.02 Indemnification By Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, Seller shall indemnify Buyer against, and shall hold Buyer harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Buyer based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of: (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered on behalf of Seller in connection with the Closing (in each case, assuming that all qualifications contained therein as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect”, and all similar phrases and words were deleted therefrom); (b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement; or (c) (i) any Pre-Closing Taxes, or (ii) any Liabilities of the Company Group for Taxes imposed (A) as a result of having been a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group prior to the Closing (including under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law), (B) as a result of any member of the Company Group being liable for another Person’s Taxes as a transferee or successor of such Person in respect of transactions or actions taken by any member of the Company Group prior to the Closing, or (C) by Contract entered into by a member of the Company Group prior to Closing other than any Contract entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business (such as loans, leases and licenses) and which Contract is not primarily related to Taxes. Section 7.03 Indemnification By Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, Buyer shall indemnify Seller against, and shall hold Seller harmless from and against, any 52

and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Seller based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of: (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered on behalf of Buyer in connection with the Closing (in each case, assuming that all qualifications contained therein as to materiality, material adverse effect, and all similar phrases and words were deleted therefrom); (b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; (c) any Environmental Claim to the extent in connection with the ownership or operation of the Business, the Vessels, the Real Property or any other properties or assets of any member of the Company Group.

Section 7.04 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 shall be subject to the following limitations: (a) Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02(a) until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Buyer under Section 7.02(a) exceeds $1,117,000 (the “Deductible”), and in such event, Buyer shall be entitled only to Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any claim based on a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties contained in Section 3.20. Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to Losses for which it may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02(a) shall be to satisfy the amount of such Losses in the following order of priority: first, out of the Indemnity Escrow Account, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and thereafter, out of the R&W Policy, and without, for the avoidance of doubt, any direct recourse against Seller (including without limitation if Buyer is unable to recover under the R&W Policy). (b) Seller shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.03(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon Seller under Section 7.03(a) exceeds the Deductible, in such event, Seller shall be entitled only to Losses in excess of the Deductible. (c) No claim for indemnification may be made by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as applicable, for any individual item where the claim for Losses related thereto (and any other claims arising out of substantially similar facts and/or circumstances) is less than $100,000, and if such claim does not exceed such amount, the amount of such claim shall not be taken into account in determining whether or not, or to the extent to which, the Deductible has been exceeded with respect to the applicable Indemnifying Party. (d) Except with respect to any amounts recovered under the R&W Policy, payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Party (or any member of the Company Group if the Indemnified Party is 53

Buyer) in respect of any such claim, in each case, with such reduction being calculated net of costs of collection, deductibles or premium increases associated therewith. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not be deemed to include initiating any Action against any Person) to pursue all insurance claims to which it may be entitled in connection with any Loss it incurs. If an Indemnified Party actually receives any insurance or other third-party payment in connection with any claim for Loss for which it has already received payment under this Article VII such that such Indemnified Party received an amount in connection therewith in excess of its related Loss (the “Excess Recovery”), it shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within 30 days after such payment is actually received, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such insurance or other third-party payment actually received with respect to such Loss and (ii) the Excess Recovery, in each case of the foregoing, net of costs of collection, deductibles or premium increases associated therewith and any Taxes incurred in connection therewith. (e) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to any cash Tax savings actually realized (net of costs and any Taxes incurred in connection therewith) as a result of such Loss by the Indemnified Party. (f) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive damages, in each case, unless such damages were actually awarded to a third party in connection with a Third-Party Claim. In addition, solely with respect to a breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation contained in Section 5.01 or Section 5.19, in no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer pursuant to Section 7.02(b) for any incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple, unless such breach or non-fulfillment was the result of, or was committed in, bad faith by Seller. (g) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate (which shall not be deemed to include initiating any Action against any Person) any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto. (h) Buyer shall not have any claim for Losses under this Article VII to the extent such Loss was specifically reflected in the Closing Working Capital estimate or the Closing Statement or was actually taken into account in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.04. No Person shall be entitled to indemnification for the same Loss more than once under this Agreement, even if a claim for indemnification in respect of such Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement. Section 7.05 Indemnification Procedures. (a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, to the extent then known, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof, to the extent reasonably available, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that 54

has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. Upon receipt of such notice pursuant to this Section 7.05(a), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in (but not appear on the record) the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnified Party’s right to control the defense thereof. Thereafter, the Indemnifying Party shall have a reasonable opportunity to conduct an investigation into the facts and circumstances of such Third-Party Claim and, following such investigation, shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its expense and by its own reputable counsel (and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense) so long as the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses (including Losses remaining after deduction of the then remaining Indemnity Escrow Amount, if applicable) arising out of or related to such Third-Party Claim, subject only to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of Section 7.04(a); provided, however, that in the case of an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 7.03(c), Buyer shall assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim related thereto upon receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to participate in the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim to the extent that (i) the Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, (ii) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (iii) the Third-Party Claim relates to or otherwise arises in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement Action, (iv) settlement of, an adverse judgment with respect to, or conduct of the defense of the Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party is reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the Indemnified Party’s continuing business interests (including its relationships with current or potential customers, vendors or other parties material to the conduct of its business), or (v) the Indemnifying Party fails to conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third- Party Claim (or is obligated to assume the defense as set forth in this Section 7.05(a)), subject to Section 7.05(b), it shall (x) have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party and (y) keep the Indemnified Party reasonably advised of the status of such Third-Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend such Third- Party Claim (or is barred from assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 7.05(a)), (A) the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third- Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim, and (B) the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably advised of the status of such Third-Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making reasonably available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.08) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, pertinent management employees of the non-defending party who have relevant knowledge relating to such matters as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.05(a) shall not apply to Contests, which shall be exclusively governed by Section 5.12(e). (b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement, compromise, discharge or consent to judgment of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified 55

Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 7.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim (i) without leading to Liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party, (ii) that does not involve a finding or admission of wrongdoing or any violation of Law or the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) that provides solely for the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party and does not involve equitable or other non-monetary relief, and (iv) that provides, in customary form, for the full and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has control of the defense pursuant to Section 7.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement, compromise, discharge or consent to judgment of the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). (c) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail (to the extent then known), shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof (to the extent reasonably available) and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including reasonable access upon reasonable advance notice during normal business hours, and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Company Group, to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records that are reasonably relevant to such investigation) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Section 7.06 Administration of the Indemnity Escrow Account. (a) Upon the delivery of a claim notice from Buyer in accordance with Section 7.05(a) or Section 7.05(c) (a “Claim Notice”), the administration of such claim (including the distribution of funds from the Indemnity Escrow Account) shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, be subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. (b) The amount held in the Indemnity Escrow Account shall be released by the Escrow Agent to Seller on the Business Day immediately following the Escrow Anniversary Date; provided, 56

however, if a Claim Notice has been duly delivered by Buyer to both Seller and the Escrow Agent in conformity with all of the applicable substantive requirements and procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement and in Section 7.05(a) or Section 7.05(c), as applicable, prior to the Escrow Anniversary Date, then funds sufficient (solely to the extent of the funds then available in the Indemnity Escrow Account) to satisfy the claimed Losses relating to such Claim Notice shall remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account until resolution of the specific matter to which the Claim Notice relates. Section 7.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law. Section 7.08 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 5.09(d) and Section 9.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be limited to, and pursuant to, the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Nothing in this Section 7.08 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 5.09(d) and Section 9.11. ARTICLE VIII TERMINATION Section 8.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by the mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer; (b) by Buyer by written notice to Seller if: (i) Buyer is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Seller pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VI and such breach, inaccuracy or failure cannot be cured or is not cured by Seller by the Drop Dead Date; or (ii) the Closing shall not have occurred prior to the Drop Dead Date, unless the failure of the Closing to occur prior to the Drop Dead Date shall be proximately due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; (c) by Seller by written notice to Buyer if: (i) Seller is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VI and such breach, inaccuracy or failure cannot be cured by or is not cured by Buyer by the Drop Dead Date; (ii) the Closing shall not have occurred prior to the Drop Dead Date, unless the failure of the Closing to occur prior to the Drop Dead Date shall be proximately due to the failure of 57

Seller to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or (iii) (A) the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature or terms are to be satisfied by the delivery of documents or the taking of actions at the Closing, provided that each of which is reasonably likely to be satisfied at such time), (B) Seller has certified by irrevocable written notice (a “Closing Failure Notice”) to Buyer that (1) all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.03 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature or terms are to be satisfied by the delivery of documents or the taking of actions at the Closing) or that Seller is willing to waive any such conditions that remain unsatisfied, and (2) Seller is ready, willing and able to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such date of notice and at all times during the three Business Day period immediately thereafter and (C) Buyer fails to consummate the Closing within three Business Days following the date of receipt of such Closing Failure Notice; (d) by Buyer or Seller in the event that: (i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited; or (ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable. Section 8.02 Effect of Termination. (a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto except: (i) as set forth in this Article VIII and Section 5.08, Section 5.17(b) and Article IX hereof; and (ii) subject to Section 8.02(b) and Section 8.02(c), that nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any intentional breach of any provision hereof. (b) If this Agreement is validly terminated (I) by Seller pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(iii), (II) by Seller pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i), or (III) by either Buyer pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(ii) or Seller pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(ii) (in either case, solely if at such xxxx Xxxxxx would have had the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to either Section 8.01(c)(i) or Section 8.01(c)(iii)), then Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller an amount equal to $15,600,000 (such payment, the “Termination Fee”) plus any outstanding fees, costs and expenses as provided in Section 5.17(b) (together with the Termination Fee, the “Termination Payments”), such payment to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three Business Days following such termination. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the fees and other provisions of this Section 8.02(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Termination Payments shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty, (iii) without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement, (iv) in no event shall Buyer be required to pay the Termination Payments on more than one occasion and (v) while Seller may pursue both the payment of the Termination Payments under this Section 8.02(b), and, prior to termination of this Agreement, specific performance of the type contemplated by, and subject to the limitations set forth in, Section 9.11, under no circumstances shall 58

Seller be permitted or entitled both to (x) receive and retain the Termination Payments and (y) a grant of specific performance that requires Buyer to consummate the Closing. (c) If this Agreement is validly terminated in the manner specified in the first sentence of Section 8.02(b), Seller’s right to receive payment of the Termination Payments as and if payable hereunder pursuant to (and only to the extent required by) Section 8.02(b) shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Seller Parties against (x) the Buyer Parties or (y) the Financing Sources and any other actual or prospective financing sources, and any arranger, agent or other Representative of the foregoing, or any of the respective direct or indirect, former, current or future, Affiliates, general or limited partners, equityholders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, advisors or assignees of the foregoing (the Persons described in this subclause (y), collectively, the “Financing Sources Related Parties”) for all Losses in respect of or in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matter forming the basis for the termination of this Agreement, and none of the Buyer Parties or Financing Sources Related Parties shall have any liability to any of Seller Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or in respect of any theory of Law or equity (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) or any representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, through Buyer or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of Buyer against any other Buyer Party or any Financing Sources Related Party, any enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law or otherwise (except that Buyer shall continue to be obligated to Seller for amounts payable under Section 8.02(b)). For the avoidance of doubt, upon payment of the Termination Payments to Seller, none of the Buyer Parties or Financing Sources Related Parties shall have any further liability (in each case, whether absolute, accrued, contingent, fixed or otherwise) to any of Seller Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or in respect of any theory of Law or equity (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) or any representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and none of the Buyer Parties or Financing Sources Related Parties shall have any further liability to any of the Seller Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, liability arising under Section 5.08 or the Confidentiality Agreement, pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms thereof).

(i) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx LLP has acted as counsel to Seller and its Affiliates (individually and collectively, the “Seller Group”), and the Company Group in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Each of the parties hereto hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising from such prior representation, and each of such parties shall cause any of its Affiliates to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the parties hereto have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in connection herewith. The covenants, consent and waiver contained in this Section 9.14 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Seller Group Law Firm is entitled whether pursuant to Law, contract or otherwise. (b) All privileged communications between the Seller Group or the Company Group, on the one hand, and the Seller Group Law Firm, on the other hand, relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client privileged and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Seller Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any member of the Company Group. Accordingly, Buyer shall not have, and shall prohibit each member of the Company Group from having, any right to access to any Privileged Communications or to the files of the Seller Group Law Firm relating to such engagement from and after Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (i) the Seller Group (and not Buyer or any member of the Company Group) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of Buyer or any member of the Company Group shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of the Seller Group Law Firm in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the Seller Group (and not Buyer nor any member of the Company Group) shall hold such property rights and (iii) the Seller Group Law Firm shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to Buyer or any member of the Company Group by reason of any attorney-client relationship between the Seller Group Law Firm and the Company Group or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer or its Affiliates (including any member of the Company Group), on the one hand, and a third party other than any of the Seller Group, on the other hand, Buyer and its Affiliates (including such member of the Company Group) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including any member of the Company Group) may waive such privilege, with respect to any dispute between the parties hereto, without the prior written consent of the Seller Group, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any member of the Company Group) is legally required by Governmental Authority or otherwise legally required to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, to the extent (x) permitted by applicable Law, and (y) advisable in the opinion of Buyer’s counsel, then Buyer shall immediately (and, in any event, within five days) notify Seller in writing so that Seller can seek a protective order. 64
