(a) Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller Representative a certificate signed by a duly authorized representative of the Purchaser setting forth, in reasonable detail, the Purchaser’s calculation as of the Closing Date (such calculation, the “Post-Closing Statement”) of (i) Distributed Cash, Effective Time Indebtedness, Effective Time Cash, Closing Transaction Expenses and Contributed Cash and (ii) the resulting proposed Post-Closing Adjustment Amount and the work papers supporting such calculation. The Post-Closing Statement shall be unaudited and prepared in accordance with this Agreement and the Accounting Principles Consistently Applied and in a format consistent with the illustrative calculation set forth on Exhibit A.

(b) The Seller Representative shall have 30 days from the date the Purchaser delivers the Post-Closing Statement to the Seller Representative (such period, the “Dispute Period”) to notify the Purchaser in writing as to whether the Seller Representative agrees or disagrees with the Purchaser’s calculation of any of the amounts reflected on the line items of the Post-Closing Statement (such written notice, the “Dispute Notice” and each such item, a “Disputed Item”); provided, however, that in each case the Seller Representative shall notify the Purchaser in writing of each Disputed Item and specify in reasonable detail the amount in dispute and the basis therefor. During the Dispute Period, the Purchaser shall make available or cause to be made available to the Seller Representative and its accountants (during regular business hours and upon reasonable prior notice), at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, (i) the Books and Records relating to the Post-Closing Statement and (ii) the Purchaser’s accounting personnel and advisors, in each case, as reasonably requested by the Seller Representative, provided that the Seller Representative and its accountant access such Books and Records in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Purchaser, the Partnership Group or the MMP Group (or their respective Affiliates); provided, however, that none of the Purchaser, the Partnership Group nor the MMP Group (or their respective Affiliates) shall be required to, or to cause any of their respective Subsidiaries to, grant access or furnish information, as applicable, to the Seller Representative or its accountants to the extent that such information is subject to an attorney/client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine or that such access or the furnishing of such information, as applicable, is prohibited by applicable Law. In the event that the Purchaser fails to provide such access in violation of this Section 2.05(b), the Dispute Period shall be automatically extended by the length of time it takes the Purchaser to provide such access.

(c) If the Seller Representative fails to deliver a Dispute Notice to the Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, the Purchaser’s calculation of Distributed Cash, Effective Time Indebtedness, the Effective Time Cash, Closing Transaction Expenses, Contributed Cash and the resulting Post-Closing Adjustment Amount shall be deemed to be the Final Distributed Cash, Final Effective Time Indebtedness, Final Closing Transaction Expenses, Final Contributed Cash and Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, as applicable, and shall be binding upon the Parties.

(d) If the Seller Representative delivers a Dispute Notice to the Purchaser during the Dispute Period, the Seller Representative and the Purchaser shall, for a period of 30 days from the date the Seller Representative delivers the Dispute Notice to the Purchaser (such period, the “Resolution Period”), use commercially reasonable efforts to amicably resolve the Disputed Items and determine the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. Any Disputed Items so resolved by the Seller Representative and the Purchaser shall be deemed to be final and correct as so resolved and shall be binding upon the Parties.

(e) If the Seller Representative and the Purchaser are unable to resolve all of the Disputed Items during the Resolution Period, then either Party may refer the remaining Disputed Items (the “Remaining Items”) to a U.S. nationally recognized, independent accounting firm that is mutually agreed to by such Parties, or, if such Parties are unable to mutually agree, to the New York City office of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC (the “Independent Accountant”). If the Seller Representative or the Purchaser delivers written notice to the other Party that it elects to refer the remaining Disputed Items to the Independent Accountant, then such Parties shall promptly mutually engage the Independent Accountant on terms customary for such an engagement. The Parties shall furnish the Independent Accountant, on the date of such engagement (the “Engagement Date”), with the Post-Closing Statement, the Dispute Notice and any Disputed Items previously resolved by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.05(d). The Parties shall also furnish the Independent Accountant with such other information and documents as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request for purposes of resolving the Remaining Items and determining the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. Additionally, within five days after the Engagement Date, each of the Seller Representative and the Purchaser shall provide the Independent Accountant with a written statement (a “Position Statement”) describing in reasonable detail such Party’s position regarding the Remaining Items (copies of which shall concurrently be delivered to the other Party). If either Party fails to timely deliver its Position Statement to the Independent Accountant, the Independent Accountant shall resolve the Remaining Items solely upon the basis of the information otherwise timely provided to the Independent Accountant in accordance with this Section 2.05(e). Within 30 days after the Engagement Date (the date such written determination is delivered to the parties), the Independent Accountant shall deliver to the Seller Representative and the Purchaser a report specifying (i) its final determination of the Remaining Items, (ii) the resulting Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, and (iii) the calculations supporting such determinations and adjustments. Such report shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. Each of the Distributed Cash, Effective Time Indebtedness, Effective Time Cash, Closing Transaction Expenses and Contributed Cash, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.05, is referred to herein as the “Final Distributed Cash,” “Final Effective Time Indebtedness,” “Final Effective Time Cash,” “Final Closing Transaction Expenses” and “Final Contributed Cash,” as applicable. Any delay in delivering such report shall not invalidate such determination or deprive the Independent Accountant of jurisdiction to resolve the Remaining Items. In no event shall the Independent Accountant assign a value to the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount or any Remaining Item that is greater than the highest, or less than the lowest, calculation thereof proposed by the applicable Parties. The Independent Accountant’s determination as to the Remaining Items and the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding upon the Parties and not be subject to judicial review. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the Sellers, on the one hand (and then in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule), and the Purchaser, on the other hand, based on the degree to which the Independent Accountant’s determination of the aggregate amount of the Remaining Items accepts each applicable Party’s respective positions with respect thereto. For example, if the Seller Representative’s position is that the aggregate amount of the Remaining Items is $300, the Purchaser’s position is that the aggregate amount of the Remaining Items is $100 and the Independent Accountant determines that the aggregate amount of the Remaining Items is $150, then the Sellers shall pay 75% ($300 - $150 / $300 - $100) and the Purchaser shall pay 25% ($150 - $100 / $300 - $100), respectively, of the Independent Accountant’s costs, fees and expenses.

(f) The Post-Closing Adjustment Amount that is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.05 shall be the “Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount.”

Section 2.06 Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. Following the final determination of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.05:

(a) if the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is negative, then the Seller Representative and the Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after the final determination of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.05) execute and issue a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent, instructing the Escrow Agent to release (i) first, to the Purchaser cash from the Escrow Account in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the absolute value of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount and (B) the amount contained in the Escrow Account (for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser’s sole recourse in the event the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is negative shall be the amount contained in the Escrow Account and the Sellers shall not be liable for any shortfall) and (ii) second to the Sellers (and as among the Sellers in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule) all of the remaining cash then contained in the Escrow Account;

(b) if the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is positive, (i) the Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after the final determination of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.05) pay to the Sellers an amount equal to the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule; provided that in no event shall the Purchaser’s payment pursuant to this clause (i) exceed an amount equal to the amount of the Closing Escrow Funds (it being understood that such payment shall be in addition to the release of the remaining cash then contained in the Escrow Account in accordance with clause (ii)), and (ii) the Seller Representative and the Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after the final determination of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.05) execute and issue a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent, instructing the Escrow Agent to release to the Sellers (and as among the Sellers in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule) all of the remaining cash then contained in the Escrow Account; and

(c) if the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount equals zero, the Seller Representative and the Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after the final determination of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.05) execute and issue a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent, instructing the Escrow Agent to release to the Sellers (and as among the Sellers in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule) all of the remaining cash then contained in the Escrow Account.

The Closing Escrow Funds may be distributed to the Sellers and/or the Purchaser, as applicable, solely and exclusively in accordance with this Section 2.06 and the terms of the Escrow Agreement and shall not be available for any other payment to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, any Target Company).

Section 2.07 Withholding. The Parties, their respective Affiliates, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld under applicable Law; provided that, except with respect to amounts required to be withheld with respect to any Seller that has failed to deliver an IRS Form W-9 in accordance with Section 10.09, Purchaser shall (i) prior to making any deduction or withholding with respect to any Seller, use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Seller Representative of any anticipated deduction or withholding, and (ii) reasonably cooperate with the Seller Representative to minimize the amount of any applicable deduction or withholding with respect to such Seller to the extent permitted by applicable Law. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(b) For a period of 12 months following the Closing Date (or, if earlier, until the date of termination of employment of the relevant Continuing Employee) (the “Benefit Period”), the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to (which Affiliate may include a Target Company or successor thereto or Subsidiary thereof for periods on and after the Closing Date for purposes of this Section 7.10), (i) provide each Continuing Employee with an annual base salary or hourly base wage, as applicable, and a target annual cash bonus opportunity (excluding specific performance goals) that, in each case, is not less than such Continuing Employee’s annual base salary or hourly base wage and target annual cash bonus opportunity with each Seller or its Affiliates (including the Target Companies) as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee with employee benefits under the Benefit Plans of the Purchaser or its Affiliate (collectively, the “Successor Benefit Plans”) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to the Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s similarly situated employees as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall honor and maintain in effect (as in effect immediately before the Closing) throughout the Benefit Period, the Medallion Operating Company, LLC Change of Control Severance Plan for the benefit of all Continuing Employees.

(c) With respect to each Continuing Employee who begins to participate in a Successor Benefit Plan, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, cause the applicable Successor Benefit Plan (but excluding any Successor Benefit Plan that is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Title IV of ERISA, any retiree health or life insurance plan) to credit each Continuing Employee for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and level of benefits under any paid-time off or severance policies or plans, with the service that is credited under the corresponding Business Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately prior to the Closing Date (including service with predecessor employers, to the extent such service is credited under such Benefit Plan); provided, however, that the Successor Benefit Plan may exclude any such prior service credit that would result in a duplication of benefits. With respect to each Continuing Employee who begins to participate in a Successor Benefit Plan, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliate (i) to cause each such Continuing Employee to be eligible to participate in the applicable Successor Benefit Plans which provide medical, dental, prescription drug or vision benefits without any waiting periods or any pre-existing condition exclusions and without regard to any evidence of insurability, actively-at-work or similar requirements and (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to give credit for all co-payments, deductibles, out-of-pocket costs and similar expenses paid by each Continuing Employee and such Continuing Employee’s eligible dependents under a comparable Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately prior to the Closing Date and during the plan year of such Successor Benefit Plan in which the Closing Date occurs.

(e) If requested by Purchaser in writing at least ten days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall both (i) terminate any Business Benefit Plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and containing a Code Section 401(k) cash or deferred arrangement (each, a “Business 401(k) Plan”) and (ii) fully vest each Continuing Employee in his or her account balance in such Business 401(k) Plan, in each case, effective at least one day prior to the Closing Date (the “ERISA Effective Date”).

(f) The terms and conditions of this Section 7.10 are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing in this Section 7.10, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed (i) to confer upon or give to any Person, other than the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal, equitable or other rights or remedies with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 7.10 or (ii) as the adoption, establishment, amendment, modification or termination of any Successor Benefits Plan or other Benefit Plan.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that if the DoublePoint Group exercises its rights pursuant to Section 6.6 of the MMP LLCA in the Interim Period (the “DP Exercise”), then upon the execution by each member of the DoublePoint Group of the joinder agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Joinder”), each member of the DoublePoint Group shall become a party hereto on the terms and conditions set forth in the Joinder.

The Purchaser shall be entitled to any Shortfall Amount (as defined in the MMP LLCA). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the transactions contemplated by the Joinder and the DP Exercise, nor any items related thereto (including the representations and warranties set forth therein and the accuracy thereof), shall be conditions to the Closing with respect to the Purchaser.

Section 7.13 Financing Assistance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) none of the Target Companies nor any of their respective officers or employees shall be required to execute or enter into any agreement with respect to any Financing (other than those officers or employees continuing in such roles after Closing, and solely with respect to agreements contingent upon the Closing and that would not be effective prior to the Closing), and (ii) no directors of the Target Companies shall be required to approve, adopt, execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to any Financing that is not contingent upon the Closing and that would be effective prior to the Closing.

(c) The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each Target Company and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses and other liabilities actually suffered or incurred by any of them directly in connection with the arrangement and preparation of any Financing and any information used in connection therewith (including if related to information provided by Sellers, the Target Companies or their respective Representatives), in each case other than as a result of Fraud or willful misconduct by or on behalf of such Person or Representative.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Closing shall not be conditioned upon, nor shall the Parties’ obligations with respect to the Closing be excused by reason of, the failure to comply with, performance of or nonperformance of any of the Parties’ obligations set forth in this Section 7.13. The Sellers and Target Companies shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 7.13 for the purposes of any condition set forth in Article VIII, unless (i) the Sellers or Target Companies have failed to satisfy their obligations under this Section 7.13, (ii) the Purchaser has notified the Sellers or the Target Companies of such breach in writing in good faith, detailing in good faith reasonable steps that comply with this Section 7.13 in order to cure such breach in a reasonably sufficient amount of time prior to the Closing Date to afford the Sellers or the Target Companies with a reasonable opportunity to cure such failure, (iii) the Sellers and Target Companies have not taken such steps or otherwise cured such breach with reasonably sufficient time prior to the Outside Date to consummate the Financing and (iv) such breach is the proximate cause of the Purchaser’s failure to receive the proceeds of any Financing.

The Seller Representative shall (i) consider in good faith all reasonable comments with respect to any such Pre-Closing Flow-Through Return attributable to a tax period ending on or prior to the Closing received from the Purchaser reasonably prior to the due date and (ii) incorporate all reasonable comments received with respect to any such Pre-Closing Flow-Through Return attributable to a Straddle Period received from the Purchaser reasonably prior to the due date. Reasonably in advance of the due date (taking into account any applicable extensions) for filing any Purchaser Returns, the Purchaser shall deliver a draft of any such Purchaser Return together with all supporting documentation and workpapers, to the Seller Representative for its review and comment. The Purchaser shall incorporate all reasonable comments with respect to such Purchaser Return received from the Seller Representative reasonably prior to the due date to the extent such comments pertain to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent permitted under the Organizational Documents of the MMP Group, to cause all Pre-Closing Flow-Through Returns of the MMP Group to be prepared with the Seller Representative’s review and comment.

(b) The Parties agree that, to the extent at least “more likely than not” permitted by applicable Law, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, any Transaction Deductions shall be treated as accruing in and attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and shall be allocated to the Sellers. No Party shall take any position inconsistent with this Section 10.02(b) on any Tax Return or otherwise for Tax purposes.

(c) The Parties shall cooperate to cause an election under Section 754 of the Code to be timely filed by any Target Company that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to the taxable period that includes the Closing Date, to the extent such a valid election is not already in effect.

(d) Except in the event that MMP is treated as terminating under Section 708(b) of the Code on the Closing Date as a result of the DoublePoint Group executing the Joinder or otherwise, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to the MMP Interests shall be allocated between the Sellers and the Purchaser based on an interim closing of the books on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 10.03 Cooperation. The Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns in respect of a Target Company or in connection with any audit, assessment or administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to Taxes related to any Target Company (each, a “Tax Proceeding”). Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon another Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Proceeding and making employees available to the extent reasonably requested on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

Section 10.04 Tax Proceedings. Within 15 days after the receipt of written notice from a Governmental Authority regarding the commencement of a Tax Proceeding, the outcome of which would reasonably be expected to affect any items or information reported or reflected on a Pre-Closing Flow-Through Return of any Target Company, the recipient Party shall provide the other Party with written notice thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (or any organizational document of any member of the Partnership Group) to the contrary, at the Purchaser’s request, the Parties shall cooperate (and use reasonable best efforts to cause the relevant “partnership representative” and “designated individual”) to make a “push-out” election under Section 6226 of the Code (or any comparable provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Tax law) to the extent such election is available with respect to any “imputed underpayment” (as defined in Section 6225 of the Code) assessment (or similar assessment under state, local, or non-U.S. Tax Law) against any Target Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period. The Seller Representative shall be entitled to (i) control any Tax Proceedings with respect to Flow-Through Taxes of any Target Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period (other than a Purchaser Majority Straddle Period unless the Seller Representative establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser that more than fifty percent (50%) of the potential Liability for Taxes resulting from such Tax Proceeding is reasonably expected to be attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) to the extent any Seller (or the direct or indirect owners of any Seller) would reasonably be expected to bear any Liability for Taxes resulting therefrom, including as a result of any “push-out” election under Section 6226 of the Code or “pull-in” election under Section 6225(c) of the Code made with respect thereto (in the case of any such Tax Proceeding with respect to the MMP Group, to the extent permitted under the Organizational Documents of the MMP Group) and (ii) without limiting the ability of Purchaser to cause a “push-out” election to be made, cause a “pull-in” election under Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code (or any comparable provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Tax law) to be made in connection therewith, to the extent such election is available. The Seller Representative shall (a) keep the Purchaser reasonably informed regarding any developments concerning such Tax Proceeding (including by providing copies of any written correspondence in connection therewith); (b) allow the Purchaser to participate, at its own expense, in such Tax Proceeding to the extent permitted by the applicable taxing authority; and (c) not settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding without the Purchaser’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the case of any Tax Proceeding with respect to Flow-Through Taxes of any Target Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, or the outcome of which would reasonably be expected to affect any items or information reported or reflected on a Pre-Closing Flow-Through Return of any Target Company, in each case, that is not controlled by the Seller Representative (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Tax Proceeding with respect to a Purchaser Majority Straddle Period described above), the Purchaser shall (in the case of any such Tax Proceeding with respect to the MMP Group, to the extent permitted under the Organizational Documents of the MMP Group): (a) keep the Seller Representative reasonably informed regarding any developments concerning such Tax Proceeding (including by providing copies of any written correspondence in connection therewith); (b) allow the Seller Representative to participate, at the Sellers’ expense, in such Tax Proceeding to the extent permitted by the applicable taxing authority; and (c) not settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding without the Seller Representative’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 10.05 Certain Tax Actions. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Purchaser shall not (and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates or the MMP Group, to the extent permitted under the Organizational Documents of the MMP Group, to): (a) amend or refile any Tax Return of a Target Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (b) make, revoke or change any Tax election in respect of any Target Company with effect in a Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, or (c) enter into any agreement with a Governmental Authority to extend the applicable statute of limitations for the assessment or collection of any Taxes or Tax Returns of a Target Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), if doing so could affect any items or information reported or reflected on a Pre-Closing Flow-Through Return of any Target Company.

Section 10.06 Determination of Taxes. Any Tax liabilities taken into account under this Agreement shall be determined: (a) on a basis consistent with past practice of the relevant Target Company, (b) disregarding any Tax liabilities attributable to transactions outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date after the Closing, (c) taking into account any Transaction Deductions that are “more likely than not” deductible under applicable Law, and (d) excluding any liabilities for accruals or reserves established or required to be established under GAAP methodologies that require the accrual for contingent income Taxes or with respect to uncertain or speculative income Tax positions.

Section 10.07 [Reserved].

Section 10.08 Agreed Tax Treatment; Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, the Parties intend that (i) the sale of the Purchased Interests from the Sellers to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement be treated, consistent with Rev. Rul. 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432, Situation 2, with respect to the Sellers, as a sale of the Partnership Interests and, with respect to the Purchaser, as a purchase of the assets of the Partnership, and (ii) the Partnership be treated as terminating under Section 708(b) of the Code and having an income Tax year that ends on the Closing Date (the “Agreed Tax Treatment”).

(b) The Parties shall agree upon an allocation of the Adjusted Purchase Price (as adjusted to reflect the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount) and any other items properly treated as consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes among the assets of the Partnership Group and, to the extent allocable to the MMP Interests, among the assets of the MMP Group in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 755 and Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Allocation”). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, a nationally recognized independent valuation firm chosen by the Seller Representative that is reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (the “Independent Valuation Firm”), shall prepare an appraisal allocating the Adjusted Purchase Price among such assets in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 755 and Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Appraisal”). The Independent Valuation Firm shall consult with the Parties in determining the Appraisal and the Parties shall consult and cooperate with the Independent Valuation Firm in connection therewith, including by providing the Independent Valuation Firm with such information as it shall reasonably request. The Parties shall then use such Appraisal to determine the Allocation in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 755 and Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. In the event that an agreement has not been reached within 30 days after the Parties’ receipt of the Appraisal, the unresolved disputed items will be determined by the Independent Accountant and in a manner consistent with the Appraisal and the principles of Section 755 and Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and such determination will be binding on the Parties and be taken into account in the Allocation. The Sellers, on the one hand (and then pro rata based on their respective cost bearing percentages reflected in the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule), and the Purchaser on the other hand, will pay one half of the fees and expenses of the Independent Valuation Firm and the Independent Accountant in connection with this Section 10.08(b). The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to update the Allocation in a manner consistent with the Appraisal and the principles of Section 755 and Section 1060 of the Code following any adjustment to the Adjusted Purchase Price.

(c) The Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates (and, in the case of Purchaser, the MMP Group, to the extent permitted under the Organizational Documents of the MMP Group) to, file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Agreed Tax Treatment and the Allocation (in the case of the Allocation, as adjusted), unless otherwise required by Law or a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code; provided, however, that no Party shall be unreasonably impeded in its ability and discretion to negotiate, compromise or settle any Tax Proceedings in connection with the Allocation.

Section 10.09 Deliveries. At or prior to the Closing, each Seller shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, to the Purchaser a duly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 with respect to such Seller.

Article XI
TERMINATION

Section 11.01 Right of Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Parties;

(b) by the Sellers, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, if any Governmental Authority has issued, enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced any Order or other Law, in either case, that is final and non-appealable and that has not been vacated, withdrawn or overturned, restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(b) shall not be available to a Party if the issuance or promulgation of such Order or other Law was primarily due to the failure of such Party to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements, obligations or conditions of this Agreement to be performed or complied with by such Party prior to the Closing;

(c) by the Sellers, if the Sellers are not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Purchaser in this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of satisfaction of any of the conditions in Section 9.01 or Section 9.02 on or prior to the Outside Date, and such breach, if curable, is not cured within 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Sellers (or any shorter period of time that remains between the date the Sellers provide written notice of such violation or breach and the Outside Date); provided, however, that if, at the end of such 30-day period, the Purchaser is proceeding in good faith to cure such breach, then the Purchaser shall have an additional 30 days from the end of such 30-day period to effect such cure (or any shorter period of time that remains between the date the Sellers provide written notice of such violation or breach and the Outside Date);

(d) by the Purchaser, if the Purchaser is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Sellers in this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of satisfaction of any of the conditions in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 on or prior to the Outside Date, and such breach, if curable, is not cured within 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Purchaser (or any shorter period of time that remains between the date the Purchaser provides written notice of such violation or breach and the Outside Date); provided, however, that if, at the end of such 30-day period, the Sellers are proceeding in good faith to cure such breach, the Sellers shall have an additional 30 days from the end of such 30-day period to effect such cure (or any shorter period of time that remains between the date the Purchaser provides written notice of such violation or breach and the Outside Date);

(e) by the Sellers, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(e) shall not be available to a Party if such failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to the Outside Date is due to such Party’s failure to perform or comply with, in all material respects, any of the covenants, agreements, obligations or conditions of this Agreement to be performed or complied with by such Party prior to the Closing; or

(f) by the Sellers, upon written notice to the Purchaser, if all of the conditions set forth in Article VIII and Article IX shall have been previously satisfied (other than any condition the failure of which to be satisfied is attributable, in whole or in part, to a breach by the Purchaser of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein and other than conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing and which were, as of such date, capable of being satisfied) and the Purchaser has failed to consummate the Transactions by the earlier of (i) the Outside Date and (ii) the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.02.

Section 11.02 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.01, the Parties’ respective obligations and Liabilities under this Agreement shall terminate and become void ab initio; provided, however, that (x) Article I (Definitions and Construction), Section 3.23 (Disclaimer), Section 5.07 (No Other Representations), Section 7.03 (Access), Section 7.04 (Confidentiality Agreement), this Section 11.02 (Effect of Termination) and Article XII (Additional Agreements; Miscellaneous) shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive any termination of this Agreement notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and (y) nothing in this Agreement shall relieve or release any Party from any Liability with respect to Fraud or any Willful Breach by such Party prior to the termination of this Agreement.

Article XII
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS; MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01 Seller Representative.

(a) The Sellers, by executing this Agreement, each irrevocably constitutes and appoints the General Partner and its successors, acting as hereinafter provided, as such appointing Person’s attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Person in connection with the authority granted to the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 12.01 (such Person in such capacity, the “Seller Representative”), and acknowledges that such appointment is coupled with an interest and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of such Seller. Should the Seller Representative resign or be unable to serve, the Sellers may appoint a replacement by designating the same in a written notice delivered to the Purchaser.

(b) Each of the Sellers, by the appointment described in Section 12.01(a), (i) authorizes the Seller Representative subsequent to the Signing Date (A) to give and receive written consents, reports, notices and communications to or from the Purchaser relating to this Agreement, the Transactions and the other Transaction Documents, (B) to act on such appointing Person’s behalf with respect to any and all matters affecting such appointing Person in this Agreement, including giving and receiving all notices and communications to be given or received with respect to any such matters, (C) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Seller any amendment or waiver in connection with this Agreement, the Transactions and the other Transaction Documents as the Seller Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable, (D) to prepare, revise, supplement, update or amend any schedule, exhibit or other document required to be delivered by or under this Agreement, (E) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which such Seller is permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement, (F) to negotiate, compromise and resolve any dispute that may arise under this Agreement and (G) to retain counsel, accountants and other experts in connection with any of the foregoing and incurring fees and expenses with respect thereto (for which the Sellers shall each bear by advancing or reimbursing such funds with respect to their pro rata shares thereof based on the portion of the Adjusted Purchase Price (as adjusted) to which the Sellers are entitled), and (ii) agrees to be bound by all agreements and determinations made by and documents executed and delivered by the Seller Representative pursuant to the authority granted to the Seller Representative hereunder. Each Seller hereby severally, for itself only and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Representative against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the Seller Representative is made a party by reason of the fact it is or was acting as a Seller Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any expenses incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder.

(c) Each of the Sellers, by the execution of this Agreement, expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Seller Representative is authorized to act on its behalf with respect to this Agreement, notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement between such appointing Person and the Seller Representative, and (ii) the Purchaser will be entitled to solely interact with, and rely on any and all actions taken by, the Seller Representative under this Agreement without any Liability to, or obligation to inquire of, such appointing Person. Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Seller Representative that is within the scope of the Seller Representative’s authority under this Section 12.01 will constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the Sellers and will be final, binding and conclusive upon such appointing Person. The Purchaser will be entitled to rely upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or interaction of, such appointing Person and the Sellers.

(d) The Seller Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Seller, except in respect of amounts received on behalf of such Seller. The Seller Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any action taken or omitted by the Seller Representative or any agent employed by it hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, except that the Seller Representative shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by law for willful misconduct. The Seller Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by the Seller Representative in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Seller to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the other Sellers any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled.

Section 12.02 Notices.

Section 12.03 No Survival. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 12.03, none of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and all rights, claims and causes of action (whether under any contract, misrepresentation, tort or strict liability theory, or under applicable Law, and whether in law or in equity, including rights to contribution under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended) with respect thereto shall terminate at the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12.03 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties set forth in Section 2.03 (Closing Deliveries by the Sellers to the Purchaser), Section 2.04 (Closing Deliveries by the Purchaser to the Sellers), Section 2.05 (Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment – Post-Closing Adjustment Amount), Section 2.06 (Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment Amount), Section 3.23 (Disclaimer), Section 5.07 (No Other Representations), Section 7.03(b) (Access), Section 7.05 (Insurance), Section 7.06 (Indemnification of Directors and Officers), Section 7.07 (Books and Records), Section 7.08 (Public Announcements), Section 7.09 (Further Assurances), Section 7.10 (Continuing Employees), Section 7.11 (DoublePoint Participation Right), Article X (Tax Matters) and this Article XII (Additional Agreements; Miscellaneous), including the defined terms used therein and herein and any rules of construction applicable thereto, which covenants and agreements shall survive the Closing until fully performed. Except in the event of Losses resulting from Fraud, and subject to Section 11.02, no Party or any of its respective Affiliates shall have any Liability with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or any other remedy contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered in respect hereof or any Schedule, certificate or other similar instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement from and after the time that such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other remedy ceases to survive hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, effective as of the Closing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action that it or any of its respective Affiliates may have against the other Party or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether under any contract, misrepresentation, tort or strict liability theory, or under applicable Law, and whether in law or in equity, excluding any claim arising out of any Party’s rights or obligations pursuant to the Sections referenced in this Section 12.03 that expressly survive the Closing.

Section 12.04 Entire Agreement. Except for the Confidentiality Agreement, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all prior discussions and agreements between the Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the sole and entire agreement among the Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 12.05 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, each Party shall pay all costs and expenses it has incurred or will incur in anticipation of, relating to or in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transactions as of the Closing; provided that the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand (and then pro rata based on their respective cost bearing percentages reflected in the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule), will each pay for 50% of any fees and expenses payable to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

Section 12.06 Disclosure. Unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms in the Disclosure Schedule and the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule have the respective meanings assigned in this Agreement. The Parties may, at their option, include in the Disclosure Schedule and the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule items that are not material, and any such inclusion (including any references to dollar amounts) shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment or representation that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 12.07 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by either Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion.

Section 12.08 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by a written instrument duly executed by each Party.

Section 12.10 Assignment; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the express prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that the Purchaser may assign any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to purchase the General Partner Interests to any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Purchaser, but no such assignment shall relieve the Purchaser of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 12.11 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of each Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, such provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement, and, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

Section 12.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

(b) THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE APPROPRIATE, EXCLUSIVE AND CONVENIENT FORUM (THE “FORUM”) FOR ANY ACTIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS SHALL BE IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND ANY STATE APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE (OR, ONLY IF THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE DECLINES TO ACCEPT JURISDICTION OVER A PARTICULAR MATTER, ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE). EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH ACTIONS. NO PARTY SHALL BRING ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS IN ANY COURT OR JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE FORUM; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 12.13 SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES TO OBTAIN EXECUTION OF A JUDGMENT IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE ORDER OR JUDGMENT AGAINST A PARTY IN ANY ACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SECTION 12.13 SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WITHIN OR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES BY SUIT ON SUCH ORDER OR JUDGMENT, A CERTIFIED OR EXEMPLIFIED COPY OF WHICH SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE FACT AND AMOUNT OF SUCH ORDER OR JUDGMENT.

(c) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY OF THEM AGAINST ANOTHER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR THE ADMINISTRATION HEREOF OR THEREOF OR THE TRANSACTION. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR THE ADMINISTRATION HEREOF OR THEREOF OR THE TRANSACTION. NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 12.13. NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.13 WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

Section 12.14 Specific Performance.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Section 11.02, (i) each Party recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by it of any applicable covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement shall cause the other Party to sustain irreparable harm for which they would not have an adequate remedy at Law, and therefore, in the event of any such breach, the aggrieved Party shall, without the posting of bond or other security (any requirement for which each Party hereby waives), be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants, agreements and obligations, including injunctive and other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedy to which it might be entitled, (ii) a Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of any covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement and (iii) in the event that any Action is brought in equity to enforce such covenants or agreements, neither Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at Law.

(b) If the Sellers bring an action for specific performance pursuant to this Section 12.14, and a court rules that the Purchaser breached this Agreement in connection with its failure to effect the Closing in accordance with this Agreement, then the Purchaser shall pay all of the Sellers’ costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with all actions to seek specific performance of the Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement and all actions to collect such costs or expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of the Sellers’ right to seek specific performance pursuant to this Section 12.14 reduce, restrict or otherwise limit the Sellers’ rights to pursue all applicable remedies at law, including terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01.

Section 12.15 Non-Recourse. Each Transaction Document shall be enforceable only against, and any Action based upon, arising under, out of or in connection with or related in any manner to a Transaction Document, or the Transactions shall be brought only against the parties signatory thereto, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth therein that are applicable to such party. No Person that is not a party to the applicable Transaction Document, including any past, present or future Representative or Affiliate of such party or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, a “Nonparty Affiliate”), shall have any Liability (whether in contract, tort, strict liability, at Law, in equity or otherwise) for any claims, causes of action, Liabilities or other obligations arising under, out of or in connection with or related in any manner to such Transaction Document or the Transactions, or based upon, in respect of or by reason of such Transaction Document or the negotiation, execution, performance or breach of any of the Transaction Documents. To the extent permitted by Law, each party hereby (a) waives and releases all such claims, causes of action, Liabilities and other obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates, (b) waives and releases any and all claims, causes of action, rights, remedies, demands or Actions that may otherwise be available to avoid or disregard the entity form of a party or otherwise impose the Liability of a party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by Law or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization or otherwise, and (c) disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement and any representation or warranty made in, in connection with or as an inducement hereto.

Section 12.16 Privileged Communications. As to all communications among Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P. or the Sellers’ in-house counsel, on the one hand, and the Sellers, any Target Company or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the Transactions and that constitute attorney-client privileged communications or are otherwise privileged under Law (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”), the privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Sellers, may be controlled by the Sellers and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Purchaser, any Target Company or Affiliate or Representative thereof; provided, however, that with respect to any Privileged Communications that (a) are (i) related to the Business or (ii) any assets, Liabilities, Losses, Actions or other matters associated with any Target Company and (b) are only tangentially related to the Transactions (collectively, the “Excluded Communications”), the privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the applicable Target Company, may be controlled by such Target Company and shall pass to and may be claimed by the Purchaser or any Target Company. The Privileged Communications (other than the Excluded Communications) are the Sellers’ property, and, from and after the Closing Date, none of the Purchaser, the Target Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of the Purchaser, any Target Company or any of their respective Affiliates, shall seek to obtain any such Privileged Communications, whether by seeking a waiver of the privilege or through other means. As to any such Privileged Communications prior to the Closing Date, none of the Purchaser, the Target Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns may disclose, use or rely on in any way any of such Privileged Communications after the Closing; provided, however, that the foregoing sentence shall not restrict the ability of the Purchaser, the Target Companies or any of their respective Affiliates to challenge the fact that any communication constitutes a Privileged Communication (other than as a result of the Purchaser becoming the owner of the Purchased Interests). The Sellers and their Affiliates may use any such Privileged Communications in connection with any dispute that relates in any way to the Transactions; provided, however, that in the event a dispute arises between the Purchaser or a Target Company, on the one hand, and a third Person (other than the Sellers or their Affiliates) after the Closing, the Target Companies may assert the privilege to prevent disclosure of any such Privileged Communications to such third Person; and, provided, further, that the Target Companies shall not, unless required by Law, waive such privilege without the Sellers’ prior written consent.

Section 12.17 Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but in all cases subject to and without in any way limiting the rights, remedies and claims of Purchaser and its Affiliates under or pursuant to any commitment letter or any other agreement entered into with respect to the Financing), each of the parties to this Agreement on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates hereby: (a) agrees that any legal action involving the Financing Sources (whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America, in each case, sitting in New York County and any appellate court thereof (each such court, the “Subject Courts”) and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court and agrees that any such dispute shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York (provided, however, that notwithstanding the forgoing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, it is understood and agreed that (A) the interpretation of the definition of Material Adverse Effect (and whether or not a Material Adverse Effect has occurred), (B) the determination of the accuracy of any “specified acquisition agreement representation” (as such term or similar term may be defined in any commitment letter) and whether as a result of any inaccuracy thereof the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates have the right to terminate its or their obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 11.01(d) or decline to consummate the Closing as a result thereof pursuant to Article VIII and (C) the determination of whether the Closing has been consummated in all material respects in accordance with the terms hereof, shall in each case be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of Laws of any other jurisdiction), (b) agrees not to bring or support or permit any of its Affiliates to bring or support any legal action (including any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise), against the Financing Sources in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder in any forum other than any Subject Court, (c) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action in any such Subject Court, (d) knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable legal requirements trial by jury in any legal action brought against the Financing Sources in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (e) agrees that none of the Financing Sources will have any liability to any of Sellers or their respective Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder and that none of Sellers or their respective Affiliates shall bring or support any legal action, including any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any of the Financing Sources relating to or in any way arising out of this Agreement, the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (f) waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any legal action involving any Financing Source or the transactions contemplated hereby, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Subject Courts as described herein for any reason, and (g) agrees (x) that the Financing Sources are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions in this Section 12.17 (and the definitions of any terms used in this Section 12.17) and (y) to the extent any amendments to any provision of this Section 12.17 (or, solely as they relate to such Section, the definitions of any terms used in this Section 12.17) are materially adverse to the Financing Sources, such provisions shall not be amended without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 12.17 shall in any way affect any party’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ rights and remedies under any binding agreement between a Financing Source and such party.
