-26-

(x)            any Pre-Closing Taxes.

Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) will retain all of the Excluded Liabilities or, in the case of Excluded Liabilities to which an Acquired Company is subject, assume, or cause an Affiliate thereof (other than an Acquired Company) to assume, such Excluded Liabilities, and will pay, discharge and perform in accordance with their terms all of the Excluded Liabilities.

Section 2.3      Assignment of Contracts and Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any of the Transferred Assets and Liabilities if (a) an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or a violation of Law and (b) such consent is not obtained prior to the Closing (each, a “Non-Assignable Asset or Liability”). Subject to Section 5.3(a), the Asset Sellers will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent or approval required from any third party to assign, convey and deliver the Transferred Assets and Liabilities to Buyer. If any such consent or approval is not obtained prior to the Closing, or if an attempted transfer or assignment thereof would be ineffective or a violation of Law, the Asset Sellers will, and will cause their Affiliates to, subject to Section 5.3(a), cooperate with Buyer and enter into any arrangement reasonably requested by Buyer under which (i) Buyer will, in compliance with Law, receive all of the benefits and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with such Transferred Assets and Liabilities in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Buyer, and (ii) the Asset Sellers will, or will cause their applicable Affiliates to, enforce for the benefit of Buyer any and all of its rights against a third party associated with such Transferred Assets and Liabilities, and the Asset Sellers will, or will cause their applicable Affiliates to, hold in trust for Buyer and exercise at the sole discretion of Buyer, and promptly pay to Buyer when received, all benefits, rights and monies received by the Asset Sellers under, any Transferred Assets and Liabilities that constitute Non-Assignable Assets or Liabilities; provided, that in no event shall Buyer, the Sellers or any of their Affiliates be required to pay any fee, penalty or other consideration to any third party or make any concession to any third party (other than customary commercial concessions that are not material) to obtain any required consent or approval in connection with the transfer of any Non-Assignable Asset or Liability and in no event shall the Sellers or their Affiliates (including, before the Closing, the Acquired Companies) agree to (x) pay for any such fee, penalty or other consideration or (y) any such concession, in each case without the prior written consent of Buyer (except to the extent that such payment or concession constitutes an Excluded Liability hereunder).

Section 2.4      Closing Purchase Price; Closing Date Statement.

(a)            Closing Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price to be paid by Buyer at the Closing for all of the Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets and Liabilities shall be an amount equal to (i) the Base Purchase Price, plus (ii) the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment, plus (iii) the Estimated Closing Cash, minus (iv) the Estimated Completion Bonus Amount, minus (v) the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, minus (vi) the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Closing Purchase Price”).

-27-

(b)            Closing Date Statement. On or before the date that is at least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, UPS shall deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Closing Date Statement”) setting forth (i) the Estimated Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment based thereon, (ii) the Estimated Closing Cash, (iii) by lender, the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, (iv) by payee, the Estimated Completion Bonus Amount, (v) by payee, the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses and (vi) the resulting calculation of the Closing Purchase Price, together with reasonable supporting detail.

Section 2.5      Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur three (3) Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the conditions to the obligations of the Parties set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be fulfilled at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and by the Party against which such waiver would be enforced) of such conditions) or on such other date as UPS and Xxxxx may agree in writing. The date of the Closing shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the date on which the Required Financial Information shall have been received by Buyer and shall have been Compliant (the “Receipt Date”) has not occurred at least thirty (30) days prior to the time of the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), or if the Required Financial Information shall not have remained Compliant throughout such period, then the Closing shall occur instead on the date following the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) that is the earlier to occur of (a) any Business Day following the Receipt Date as may be specified by Buyer on no less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to UPS and (b) the expiration of the first thirty (30) consecutive-day period following the Receipt Date throughout which the Required Financial Information shall have remained Compliant (or, if such date of expiration is not a Business Day, the next Business Day).

Section 2.8         Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a)            No later than seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to UPS a statement calculating (i) the Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Adjustment based thereon, (ii) the Closing Cash, (iii) the Completion Bonus Amount, (iv) the Closing Indebtedness, (v) the Closing Transaction Expenses and (vi) the resulting calculation of the Final Purchase Price, together with reasonable supporting detail and documentation (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”). Buyer will, during the Review Period, (1) permit, and will cause the Acquired Companies to permit, UPS and its advisors and representatives reasonable access to the books, records, properties, premises, work papers, personnel and other information of the Business to permit UPS and its advisors to review the Preliminary Closing Statement or to address any dispute described in this Section 2.8 and (2) reasonably cooperate, and will cause the Acquired Companies to reasonably cooperate, with UPS and its advisors and representatives in connection with such review or any dispute, including providing on a timely basis all other information necessary or useful in connection with the review of the Preliminary Closing Statement as is reasonably requested by UPS or its advisors or representatives; provided, that, with respect to subpart (1), if Buyer or the Acquired Companies fail to provide UPS and its advisors and representatives reasonable and timely access in accordance with subpart (1), UPS may request from Buyer an extension of the Review Period (which agreement to such extension shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and provided, further, that any such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Business and shall be conducted during normal business hours under the reasonable supervision of the applicable personnel of Buyer and its Affiliates; provided, further, that Buyer and the Acquired Companies shall not be required to afford such access to the extent that such access would: (A) result in the loss of attorney-client privilege; (B) violate any confidentiality obligation of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any Acquired Company) to any third party; or (C) breach, contravene or violate any applicable Law or Order (provided that Buyer shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, use reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in the events set out in clauses (A) through (C)). The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing and calculating the Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, the Completion Bonus Amount, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses hereunder is to measure changes in Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, the Completion Bonus Amount, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses without the introduction of new or different accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, classifications, judgments or estimation methodologies from the Accounting Principles. The Preliminary Closing Statement and the calculation of the Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, the Completion Bonus Amount, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses contained therein shall entirely disregard (x) any and all effects on the assets or Liabilities of the Business as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Buyer or any other transaction entered into by Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any of the plans, transactions or changes that Buyer intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Business, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Buyer or any of its assets or Liabilities (other than the Transferred Assets and Liabilities). If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Preliminary Closing Statement within the seventy-five (75)-day period required by the first sentence of this Section 2.8(a), and if such Preliminary Closing Statement remains undelivered by Buyer ten (10) Business Days following receipt by Buyer of written notice from UPS of UPS’s intent to elect one of its remedies under this sentence, then, at the election of UPS, in its sole discretion, either (I) UPS will prepare and deliver to Buyer the Preliminary Closing Statement within sixty (60) days following the end of such initial seventy-five (75)-day period, and any reasonable out-of-pocket costs borne by UPS in preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement will be borne by Xxxxx and reimbursed to UPS within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement by UPS to Buyer, and Buyer shall have the rights set forth in, and shall be able to review and dispute such Preliminary Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.8(b), mutatis mutandis, or (II) the Closing Purchase Price shall be deemed to equal the Final Purchase Price.

-30-

(b)                   UPS shall, within sixty (60) days following its receipt of the Preliminary Closing Statement (such sixty (60)-day period being referred to herein as the “Review Period”), accept or reject the calculations set forth therein. If UPS disagrees with the Preliminary Closing Statement or any calculation therein, then UPS shall give written notice to Buyer of such dispute and any reason therefor within the Review Period. Should UPS fail to notify Buyer of a dispute within the Review Period, Sellers shall be deemed to agree with Xxxxx’s calculations. In the event there is a dispute, Xxxxx and UPS shall attempt to reconcile their differences, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties. If UPS and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Xxxxx of UPS’s written notice of dispute, UPS and Xxxxx shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve, to a nationally recognized accounting or consulting firm with significant experience in resolving purchase price disputes, mutually agreed upon by UPS and Buyer (such identified or selected firm, the “Independent Accountant”). The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert, and not an arbitrator, and the Parties shall direct the Independent Accountant to use reasonable best efforts to issue its report as to all matters in dispute (and only such matters) and the determination of the Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Adjustment based thereon and/or Closing Cash, Completion Bonus Amount, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses within thirty (30) days after such dispute is referred to the Independent Accountant. No ex parte conferences, oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other form of evidence gathering or hearings will be conducted or allowed. The Independent Accountant shall not have (i) the authority to make any determination based on an independent review and shall instead be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) the power to modify or amend any term or provision of this Agreement. The Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either UPS or Buyer or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either UPS or Buyer. Buyer, on the one hand, and UPS, on the other hand, shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with such expert review, except that the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant hereunder shall be borne by Xxxxx, on the one hand, and UPS, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Independent Accountant that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted. For example, if Buyer claims that the aggregate amount of the disputed items is $1,000 less than the amount determined by UPS, and UPS contests only $500 of the amount claimed by Xxxxx, and if the Independent Accountant ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Buyer $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of arbitration shall be allocated sixty percent (60%) (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to UPS and forty percent (40%) (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to Buyer. The decision of the Independent Accountant in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be final and binding with respect to the matters so arbitrated and there shall be no right of appeal therefrom.

-31-

(c)                   The Preliminary Closing Statement shall be deemed final (the “Final Closing Statement”) upon the earliest of (i) UPS’s election pursuant to clause (II) of the final sentence of Section 2.8(a), if applicable, (ii) the failure of UPS to notify Buyer (or the failure of Buyer to notify UPS, if UPS has made the election contemplated by clause (I) of Section 2.8(a)) of a dispute before the end of the Review Period, (iii) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.8(b), by UPS and Buyer or (iv) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.8(b), by the Independent Accountant. The Final Closing Statement will be prepared by UPS in accordance with the final sentence of Section 2.8(a), if applicable, in accordance with the agreement of Buyer and UPS pursuant to Section 2.8(b), or, if and to the extent that any disputes are submitted to the Independent Accountant pursuant to Section 2.8(b), the decision of the Independent Accountant.

(d)            Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.8(c):

(i)            if the Closing Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price, UPS shall pay to Buyer the amount by which the Closing Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price by wire transfer in immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Xxxxx;

(ii)            if the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay to UPS the amount by which the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Purchase Price by wire transfer in immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by UPS; and

(iii)           if the Final Purchase Price equals the Closing Purchase Price, then there shall be no adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price.

(e)            The Parties agree that any adjustment as determined pursuant to this Section 2.8 will be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for all Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Law.

-32-

Section 2.9          Purchase Price Allocation. Within ninety (90) days after the Final Purchase Price shall have been deemed to be final pursuant to Section 2.8, Buyer shall deliver to UPS a schedule that reasonably allocates the Final Purchase Price (together with any assumed Liabilities and any other items required to be taken into account as purchase consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) among the Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Allocation Schedule”). UPS shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule (the “Response Period”) to present in writing to Buyer notice of any objections UPS may have to the allocation set forth therein (an “Objections Notice”). Unless UPS timely objects, such Allocation Schedule shall be binding on the Parties without further adjustment, absent manifest error. If UPS delivers an Objections Notice within the Response Period, Buyer and UPS shall negotiate in good faith and use all reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute. If the Parties fail to agree within twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Objections Notice, then the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant, whose determination shall be final and binding on the Parties.

In addition to the foregoing, Buyer agrees to provide such reasonable and customary informational assurances as to financial capability, resources and creditworthiness as may be requested by any third party whose consent or approval is sought in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)            UPS and Buyer will make all initial filings and submissions required under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, and will make any other required filings pursuant to other applicable Antitrust Laws and FDI Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable. Each of UPS and Buyer will promptly furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Laws or FDI Laws.

Buyer shall, on behalf of the Parties, control and direct all aspects of the Parties’ efforts to obtain the required approvals under the Antitrust Laws and FDI Laws, including having principal responsibility for devising, implementing, and making the final determination as to the appropriate strategy relating to any matters relating to the Antitrust Laws or FDI Laws, including with respect to any filings, notifications, submissions and communications with or to any Governmental Entity; provided, however, that Buyer shall consult in advance with UPS and in good faith take UPS’s views into account regarding the overall strategic direction of obtaining such approvals and making such filings, notifications, submissions and communications. In the event that any Party receives a second request under the HSR Act or any similar inquiry or request under any other applicable Antitrust Laws or FDI Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply as promptly as practicable with such request as provided by Section 7A(E) of the HSR Act or as otherwise provided under applicable Antitrust Laws or FDI Laws. For purposes of this provision, each Party shall be deemed to have complied with any such request by providing a response that such Party in good faith believes to be in substantial compliance and by certifying in writing to the other Parties its prompt, substantial compliance. In the event that any Party receives a subpoena or civil investigative demand requesting materials and information similar to that usually demanded in a second request under the HSR Act or any similar inquiry or request under any other applicable Antitrust Laws or FDI Laws, such Party shall use reasonable best efforts to comply as promptly as practicable with such subpoena or civil investigative demand.

Section 5.4         Public Announcements. From the date hereof until the date that is one (1) year following the Closing Date, each Party shall, before issuing any press release or making any public announcement regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Public Statement”), provide the other Party with the opportunity to review and comment on a Public Statement; provided, that, during the one (1) year period following the Closing Date, no Public Statement issued by any Party or any of their respective Affiliates shall (except to the extent required by Law or the rules of any national securities exchange) contain any comments that could reasonably be perceived as disparaging any other Party or any of its Affiliates, and, shall not otherwise comment on the other Party’s and its Affiliates’ operations, ownership or acquisition of the Business; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not restrict Sellers, Buyer or their respective Affiliates in enforcing the terms of, or defending claims under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

The Parties agree that Buyer and its Affiliates and Coyote Midco shall not make an election under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D) to ratably allocate items (or any make any similar election or ratably allocate items under any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Law).

(ii)           Except as otherwise addressed in clause (i) or in the second sentence of this clause (ii), any Liability for Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned as follows: (a) property, ad valorem, intangible, and other periodic Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and (b) Taxes (other than Taxes allocable under clause (a) of this definition) allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed on the basis of a “closing of the books,” as if such taxable period ended as of the end of the day on the Closing Date; provided that, exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of calendar days in each period. Tax Liabilities determined under Sections 951 and 951A of the Code shall be determined by assuming that the taxable period of each of the relevant CFCs ended as of the Closing Date (such that all Tax Liabilities with respect to income of such CFCs under Sections 951 and 951A of the Code that are attributable to economic activity occurring on or before the Closing Date will be taken into account in the Pre-Closing Tax Period).

Upon written request of UPS, Buyer shall, at UPS’s expense, cause the relevant entity to file for, and use reasonable best efforts to obtain the receipt of, any refund that is for the account of an Equity Seller under this Section 5.6(g), unless such action could reasonably be expected to have a material unreimbursed adverse Tax impact to Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any Acquired Company). To the extent any Tax Benefit is subsequently disallowed by the applicable Governmental Entity, the applicable Equity Seller agrees to promptly repay to Buyer the amount of such Tax Benefit, together with any interest, and, if such Tax Benefit was obtained at UPS’s request, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Governmental Entity with respect to such disallowance. Any such refunds or credits relating to any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between Buyer and the applicable Equity Seller.

The parties shall apply the safe harbor election set forth in IRS Revenue Procedure 2011-29 with respect to any success-based fees.

(l)            Treatment of UK Capital Allowances. UPS SCS and the Buyer shall enter an election pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 198 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 to fix the value of any UK capital allowances transferred by UPS SCS to the Buyer at the tax written down value of those allowances.

-71-

(b)            Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, (i) preserve and keep all books and records (including all records relating to the historical performance of the Business) related to the Business, the Transferred Assets and Liabilities or the Acquired Companies in the possession of Sellers or their Affiliates and not otherwise delivered to Buyer (directly or indirectly) pursuant to this Agreement for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing, or for any longer periods as may be required by any applicable Law, and (ii) make such records (or copies thereof) available to Buyer and its Affiliates at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice, as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection with any reasonable business purpose; provided, however, that such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Retained Businesses and shall be conducted during normal business hours under the reasonable supervision of the applicable personnel of Sellers and their Affiliates; provided, further that Sellers and their Affiliates shall not be required to afford such access (A) to the extent that such access is requested in connection with any dispute between Buyer and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Seller or its Affiliates, on the other hand, or (B) if doing so would (1) result in the loss of attorney-client privilege; (2) violate any confidentiality obligation of any Seller or any of its Affiliates to any third party; or (3) breach, contravene or violate any applicable Law or Order (provided that the Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in the events set out in clauses (1) through (3)).

Section 5.8         Employees; Employee Benefits.

(b)           From the Closing Date until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide to each Transferred Employee, whether salaried or hourly (including each such employee who is absent due to vacation, holiday, illness, approved leave of absence or short-term disability) during the term of each such Transferred Employee’s employment with Buyer or its affiliates (including, as of the Closing, the Acquired Companies): (i) a salary or wage level at least equal to the salary or wage level to which such employee was entitled immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) annual bonus and commission opportunities that are no less favorable in the aggregate to those provided to such employees immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) employee benefits (excluding severance (which is addressed in Section 5.8(d)), equity incentives, defined benefit pensions, deferred compensation and retiree health and welfare) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those to which such employee was entitled immediately prior to the Closing Date. The terms and conditions of employment for any Automatically Transferring Employee who becomes a Transferred Employee will be governed by applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions of employment for any Automatically Transferring Employee who becomes a Transferred Employee must comply with applicable Law at all times. If applicable Law entitles an employee who would otherwise be a Transferred Employee who declines continued employment to receive severance benefits unless such continued employment satisfies certain minimum terms and conditions following the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, satisfy all such minimum terms and conditions with respect to such Business Employee; provided, that Sellers shall retain any liability for severance benefits in the event applicable Law entitles any Automatically Transferring Employees to voluntarily terminate employment and receive severance benefits without regard to the terms and conditions of employment provided by Buyer.

-72-

(c)            Buyer shall provide a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, with terms and conditions that are substantially similar to those of the comparable tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan of Sellers or their Affiliates in which the Transferred Employees participated immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(f)            Not later than the Closing Date, Sellers shall take all actions necessary to cause all outstanding restricted performance unit awards granted under the UPS LTIP to Transferred Employees to be treated as follows: such awards shall not be forfeited in connection with the Closing (including as a result of termination of employment from UPS or its Affiliates as of the Closing, or Buyer or its Affiliates thereafter) and instead, such awards shall continue in effect, subject to the same terms and conditions of the UPS LTIP in effect immediately prior to the Closing (including, without limitation, achievement of the performance metrics during the performance period in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice), provided that each Transferred Employee shall only be eligible to receive shares underlying a prorated number of units based on actual performance results and the number of months worked during the performance period prior to Closing.

(iii)          acquire, hold investments or own, directly or indirectly, any voting stock, capital stock or other voting equity interest of any Person engaged in the Covered Business that has a class of securities listed on a national or international securities exchange, so long as such ownership interest represents not more than three percent (3%) of the aggregate voting power of such Person;

(iv)         acquire, hold investments or own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other equity interest, whether voting or non-voting, of any Person engaged in the Covered Business, which capital stock or other equity interest is received by a Seller or any of their Affiliates as consideration for or otherwise in connection with a disposition or other strategic transaction, so long as: (A) for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date, the aggregate outstanding ownership interest held by Sellers or any of their Affiliates following any such acquisition represents fifteen percent (15%) or less of the total outstanding ownership interests in such Person, and (B) for a period beginning on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and continuing until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the aggregate outstanding ownership interest held by Sellers or any of their Affiliates following any such acquisition represents forty-nine percent (49%) or less of the total outstanding ownership interests in such Person;

(d)            The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree, on behalf of themselves and each of their Affiliates that, following the Closing, any restrictive covenants contained in agreements between the Acquired Companies, on the one hand, and Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies), on the other hand, will automatically lapse and be of no further effect with respect to any portion of the Retained Businesses or the Business, as applicable, or any Person in which Sellers or their Affiliates or Buyer or its Affiliates, as applicable, no longer own a controlling interest.

(e)            Following the Closing, if any Person that as of the Closing was a Controlled Affiliate of any Seller subsequently ceases to be a Controlled Affiliate, such Person will (automatically and without the need for any further action) no longer be subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 5.10.

(f)            The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the restraints imposed by this Section 5.10 are fair and reasonably required for the protection of 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. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 5.10 is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event of any breach or violation by any Seller or any of its Affiliates of any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 5.10, the time period of such covenant shall be tolled until such breach or violation is resolved.

(b)            Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to cause itself or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for such Seller and any of its Affiliates, and for such Seller and its Affiliates to be released, effective as of the Closing, in respect of all obligations of such Seller and any of its Affiliates under each Seller Credit Support instrument listed on Schedule 5.11.

(c)            Following the Closing, Buyer and the Acquired Companies shall have the right and authority to collect for their own account and for the account of their Affiliates all accounts receivable that constitute Transferred Assets or assets of the Acquired Companies and to endorse with the name of the Sellers or their Affiliates any checks received on account thereof. In addition to the rights set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, from and after the Closing, Sellers and Buyer covenant and agree to promptly remit to the other Party (or its designated Affiliate) any cash, checks, wire transfers or other payments received that are owed to or belong to the other Party (or any Affiliate thereof) (the “Post-Collection Amounts”). From and after the Closing, Sellers shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) forward promptly to Buyer any Post-Collection Amounts received by Sellers or any of their Affiliates after the Closing to the extent constituting any accounts receivable or other assets included in the Transferred Assets, or otherwise belonging to the Acquired Companies and shall provide to Buyer information as to the nature, source and classification of such payment to the extent such information is reasonably available to Sellers. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall (and shall cause the Acquired Companies to) forward promptly to Sellers any Post-Collection Amounts received by Buyer or any of the Acquired Companies after the Closing to the extent constituting any accounts receivable or other assets included in the Excluded Assets and shall provide to Sellers information as to the nature, source and classification of such payment to the extent such information is reasonably available to Buyer. Any Post-Collection Amounts shall be received by the receiving party as agent for and on behalf of the other party.

Section 5.12         Termination of Intercompany Arrangements. Effective at the Closing, all of the Affiliate Arrangements and any other intercompany accounts between any Seller or any Affiliate thereof (other than an Acquired Company), on the one hand, and any Acquired Company, on the other hand, shall be settled or otherwise eliminated without any further Liability to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) after the Closing, except for (a) this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, (b) any Contracts to which a third party (not affiliated with any Seller) is a party, (c) the other arrangements, understandings or Contracts listed on Schedule 5.12, (d) any Current Liability to the extent included in Net Working Capital, and (e) any Current Asset to the extent included in Net Working Capital.

During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earliest of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Buyer hereby agrees that it is not authorized to and shall not (and shall not permit any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives to) contact any employee, customer, supplier, landlord or other material business relation of the Business regarding the Business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of UPS (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, each of the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.15         Releases.

(a)            Acquired Company Release. Effective as of, and conditioned upon the completion of, the Closing, Buyer, not on behalf of itself or any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of Buyer, or any of its heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, but solely on behalf of the Acquired Companies and any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of any of the Acquired Companies, and each of their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Acquired Company Releasors”), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges Sellers and their predecessors, successors, parents, Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, except for any Transferred Employee, of and from any and all Actions, damages, accounts and Liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) held by any Acquired Company Releasors, whether known or unknown, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, direct or derivative, to the extent arising out of or relating to Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ ownership of the Acquired Companies and the Transferred Assets and Liabilities, in each case, arising from any act or omission prior to the Closing, except for any of the foregoing set forth in, pursuant to, or arising out of (i) this Agreement, any agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement, including any Ancillary Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any other claim unrelated to the matters released by this Section 5.15(a), (ii) any existing agreements between any Acquired Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Sellers and their Affiliates, on the other hand, in each case that is not required to be terminated pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) any such matters which may not be released as a matter of applicable Law.

-78-

(b)            Seller Release. Effective as of, and conditioned upon, the Closing, Sellers, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates and any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of any of them, and each of their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (the “Seller Releasors”), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the Acquired Companies, and all of their predecessors, successors, parents, Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, of and from any and all Actions, damages, accounts and Liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) held by any Seller Releasor, whether known or unknown, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, direct or derivative, to the extent arising out of or relating to Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ ownership of the Acquired Companies and the Transferred Assets and Liabilities, in each case, arising from any act or omission prior to the Closing, except for any of the foregoing set forth in, pursuant to, or arising out of (i) this Agreement, any agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any other claim unrelated to the matters released by this Section 5.15(b), (ii) any existing agreements between any Acquired Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Sellers and their Affiliates, on the other hand, in each case that is not required to be terminated pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) any such matters which may not be released as a matter of applicable Law. The Seller Releasors irrevocably covenant to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any Action of the kind released pursuant this Section 5.15(b) against any party released pursuant to this Section 5.15(b), based upon any matter released hereby.

Section 5.16         Insurance.

(a)            From and after the Closing, and without limiting the rights of Buyer and the Acquired Companies with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claims, the Acquired Companies shall cease to be insured by Sellers’ or any of their Affiliates’ current occurrence-based, claims made or claims reported Insurance Policies or programs or by any of their current and historical self-insured programs, and neither Buyer nor the Acquired Companies will have any access, right, title or interest to or in any such current Insurance Policies, programs or self-insured programs (including to all claims and rights and to make claims and all rights to proceeds) to cover any assets of the Acquired Companies or any Liability arising from the operation of the Acquired Companies’ business from and after the Closing.

-79-

(b)            To the extent that any claim (i) constitutes a Transferred Liability or (ii) is made against the Acquired Companies and, in either case, arises out of any act, omission, occurrence, fact or circumstance existing or occurring on or prior to the Closing Date and the insurance coverage maintained by a Seller or one of their Affiliates (“Applicable Insurance Coverage”) by its terms applies to such claim (any such claim, an “Insurance Coverage Claim”), then upon the Acquired Companies’ or Buyer’s written request, the applicable Seller shall submit such Insurance Coverage Claim upon receipt of such written request from Acquired Companies or Buyer to the insurer under the Applicable Insurance Coverage for payment with respect to such Insurance Coverage Claim. In addition, Sellers agree to cooperate with the Acquired Companies and to use reasonable best efforts to make the benefits of the Applicable Insurance Coverage available to the Acquired Companies (subject to the terms and conditions of such Applicable Insurance Coverage) with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claims and shall, and shall cause their respective applicable Affiliates to, pay such benefit to the Acquired Companies, net of any Claim Costs (as defined below). To the extent a Seller or any of its Affiliates incurs any cost or Liability (including with respect to any deductible, retention, costs of recovery or increase to premium to the extent related to the payment of such Insurance Coverage Claim) in connection with any Insurance Coverage Claim (“Claim Costs”), Buyer and the Acquired Companies will fully reimburse such Seller in the amount of, and indemnify such Seller and its Affiliates in respect of, any such Claim Costs, regardless of whether Buyer or the Acquired Companies is successful in recovering any amounts as a result of such Insurance Coverage Claim. Buyer and the Acquired Companies will reasonably cooperate with Sellers and any third party adjuster in connection with the management or defense of any such Insurance Coverage Claim and will retain ultimate responsibility for any liability associated therewith, if any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers and their Affiliates shall have no obligation to maintain the current and Applicable Insurance Coverage and may modify, cancel or terminate such policies at any time in their sole discretion so long as any such modification, cancellation or termination of such policies is not applied in an intentionally discriminatory manner as between the Business and the Acquired Companies, on the one hand, and the Retained Business, on the other.

Section 5.17         Solvency after Closing. After the Closing, Buyer agrees that it shall not, and that it shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies) not to, take or omit to take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in a determination pursuant to applicable Law that, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the representation given by Buyer in Section 4.6 was untrue as of the Closing.

-80-

Section 5.18         Shared Contracts. The Parties acknowledge that the Sellers and their Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) are parties to certain Contracts (collectively, the “Shared Contracts”) that relate in part to both (i) the Business and (ii) the Retained Businesses; provided, that in no event shall any Shared Contracts include this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements, any Contracts made available pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement or any of the Contracts set forth on Schedule 5.18. Subject to Section 2.3 and Section 5.3(a), the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts prior to the Closing to cause the Shared Contracts to be apportioned (including by obtaining the consent of such counterparty to enter into a new Contract or amendment, or splitting or assigning in relevant part such Shared Contract), effective as of the Closing, between Buyer and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Sellers and their Affiliates, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Sellers will assume, or cause their Affiliates to assume, all of the rights and obligations under such Shared Contracts that relate to the Retained Businesses, on the one hand, and Buyer or an Affiliate thereof will assume all of the rights and obligations under such Shared Contracts that relate to the Business, on the other hand; and (iii) in the case of the Sellers, to cause the applicable counterparty to release Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies), as applicable, from the obligations of the Sellers and their Affiliates arising after the Closing Date under the portion of the Shared Contract apportioned to the Sellers (or their Affiliates) and, in the case of Buyer and its Affiliates, to cause the applicable counterparty to release the Sellers and their Affiliates, as applicable, from the obligations of Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) arising after the Closing Date under the portion of the Shared Contract apportioned to Buyer and its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sellers shall not be required to cause the partial assignment of any Shared Contract to Buyer or its Affiliates for any purpose other than the conduct of the Business. Any Shared Contract for which the arrangements described in this Section 5.18 cannot be entered into prior to the Closing shall be subject to Section 2.3 and Section 5.3(a) and, with respect to any such Shared Contract, prior to the 12-month anniversary of the Closing, (A) the Parties shall work together in good faith to determine the feasibility of separating such Shared Contract and (B) if, notwithstanding such good faith efforts, the Parties are unable to agree on a mutually satisfactory plan for separating any such Shared Contract, the Parties will use reasonably best efforts to negotiate in good faith appropriate means for (1) Buyer and its Affiliates to obtain the benefits and assume the obligations associated with the portion of such Shared Contract relating to the Business for a transitional period and (2) Sellers and their Affiliates to obtain the benefits and assume the obligations associated with the portion of such Shared Contract relating to the Retained Businesses for a transitional period; provided, that in no event shall Buyer, the Sellers or any of their Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) be required to pay any fee, penalty or other consideration to any third party or make any concession to any third party (other than customary commercial concessions that are not material) to fulfill their respective obligations under this Section 5.18 and in no event shall the Sellers or the Acquired Companies agree to (x) pay for any such fee, penalty or other consideration or (y) any such concession, in each case without the prior written consent of Buyer (except to the extent that such payment or concession constitutes an Excluded Liability hereunder).

Section 5.19         Further Action Regarding Assets.

(a)            If, after the Closing Date, any Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates identifies any asset that is a Transferred Asset but was not previously transferred by Sellers or any of their Affiliates to Buyer, then, and subject to Section 2.3 and Section 5.3(a), such Seller shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to) transfer such asset, to Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof for no additional consideration. Until such time that such Seller or any of its Affiliates transfers such asset to Buyer, such Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Buyer and its Subsidiaries (i) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, sub-licensable and transferable right and license (or sub-license, as the case may be) to fully use, practice and otherwise exploit such asset, as applicable, and (ii) a covenant not to sue with respect to the foregoing activities, in each case under clauses (i) and (ii), effective as of the Closing Date.

-81-

(b)            If, after the Closing Date, Buyer, any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates identifies any asset that is an Excluded Asset and has inadvertently come into the possession of the Buyer, and was not previously transferred by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to such Seller, then, subject to Section 2.3 and Section 5.3(a), to the extent that Buyer has the right to do so and without paying additional consideration (other than a nominal fee (e.g., $1)) to a third party, Buyer shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to) transfer such asset to such Seller pursuant to the terms hereof for no additional consideration. Until such time that Buyer or any of its Affiliates transfers such asset to the Sellers, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby grants to Seller and its Affiliates (i) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, sub-licensable and transferable right and license (or sub-license, as the case may be) to fully use, practice and otherwise exploit such asset, as applicable, and (ii) a covenant not to sue with respect to the foregoing activities, in each case under clauses (i) and (ii), effective as of the Closing Date.

(c)            If, at any time prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Buyer or any Seller identifies any asset that was used or held for use in connection with the Business during the six (6) month period prior to the date of this Agreement and the absence of which would reasonably be expected to result in any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.10(a) or Section 3.12(d) being materially untrue as of the Closing Date and which asset cannot readily be made available to Buyer and its Affiliates by a third party, Buyer and the Sellers shall negotiate in good faith with respect to appropriate arrangements, which may involve transferring such asset to Buyer or an Acquired Company or providing Buyer and the Acquired Companies access to such asset through an additional service under the Transition Services Agreement or other appropriate arrangement reasonably sufficient such that such breach of such representation and warranty is remedied in all material respects.

Section 5.20         Local Transfer Agreements.

(a)            The Parties do not intend this Agreement to transfer title to or to constitute the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment or delivery of any Transferred Asset, Equity Interest and/or the assumption of any Transferred Liability, in any jurisdiction in which such transfer or assumption is required by applicable Law to be made pursuant to a Local Transfer Agreement, and any such Transferred Assets, Equity Interests and Transferred Liabilities shall only be transferred or assumed by the applicable Local Transfer Agreement (which transfers and assumptions shall, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, be on an “as-is”, “where-is” basis, without representation or warranty of any kind or nature).

(b)            Notwithstanding the generality of Section 5.20(a), to the extent that the provisions of a Local Transfer Agreement are inconsistent with, or (except to the extent they implement a transfer in accordance with this Agreement) additional to, the provisions of this Agreement (or do not fully give effect to the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the transfer of the Equity Interests or the Transferred Assets and Liabilities): (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail; and (ii) so far as permissible under applicable Law of the relevant jurisdiction, the Sellers and Buyer shall cause the provisions of the relevant Local Transfer Agreement to be adjusted, to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement.

-82-

(c)            Each Party shall not, and shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, bring any Action (including for breach of any warranty, representation, undertaking, covenant or indemnity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) against the other Party or any of its Affiliates in respect of or based upon any of the Local Transfer Agreements, except to the extent necessary to enforce any transfer or assumption of the Transferred Assets and Liabilities or Equity Interests to or by Buyer in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. All such Actions (except as referred to in the preceding sentence) shall be brought in accordance with, and be subject to the provisions, rights and limitations set out in, this Agreement, and no Party shall be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity under or pursuant to any of the Local Transfer Agreements (but without prejudice to the establishment of the existence of the claim hereunder). To the extent that a Party does bring such a claim (except as referred to above), that Party shall indemnify the other Party (or that other Party’s relevant Affiliates) against all losses which it or they may suffer through or arising from the bringing of such claim against it or them.

Section 5.21         Excluded Assets. To the extent that there are any assets owned by the Acquired Companies that are Excluded Assets, the Equity Sellers will be permitted to cause the Acquired Companies to transfer those assets to any Seller or another Person for no or nominal consideration at any time prior to the Closing; provided, that any and all Liabilities arising out of or related to such assets transferred out of the Acquired Companies pursuant to this Section 5.21 (including any and all Liabilities arising out of the transfer itself, including any Taxes, third-party consent fees and all other costs and expenses arising therefrom or related thereto) shall constitute Excluded Liabilities.

Section 5.22         Litigation Matters.

(a)            Following the Closing, in the event and for so long as Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies), on the one hand, or any Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, as applicable, is prosecuting, contesting or defending any Action, other investigation, charge, claim, or demand by a third party (including any securities regulator) in connection with (i) the transactions contemplated herein (including in respect of any regulatory policy issued by a securities regulator that is applicable to such transactions), or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction relating to, in connection with or arising from the Acquired Companies or the Business, the other Party shall, and shall cause its respective directors, officers and employees to, cooperate in good faith with such first Party and its counsel in such prosecution, contest or defenses, including making reasonably available its personnel, and providing such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with such prosecution, contest or defense; provided, that the first Party shall treat all such information as confidential and hereby agrees not to use such information for any purpose other than in connection with such Action, other investigation, charge, claim or demand by a third party; and provided, further, that no Party shall be obliged to disclose or provide access to any documents, records or information subject to attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product protection (provided, however, that such Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such disclosure (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product protection). The first party shall reimburse the cooperating party for the reasonable costs and expenses of the cooperating party in providing such cooperation pursuant to this Section 5.22(a).

(b)            At the Closing, Sellers and their Affiliates, as applicable, will assign to the Acquired Companies, and the Acquired Companies shall assume, all rights to, and all obligations and Liabilities under, the Specified Matters. Following the Closing, Buyer shall keep UPS reasonably apprised of any material updates pertaining to the Specified Matters and may settle each such Specified Matter upon request on terms and conditions deemed appropriate in the reasonable discretion of Buyer; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not, without UPS’s prior written consent, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any Specified Matter unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of the applicable Seller and each of its Affiliates that were named in such Specified Matter and such Person’s officers, directors, employees and Affiliates that were named in such Specified Matter from any and all Liabilities arising out of such Specified Matter, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability by or on behalf of the applicable Seller or any of its Affiliates that was named in such Specified Matter or such Person’s officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates that were named in such Specified Matter, and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner restrains or interferes with the Retained Businesses or any other business of the applicable Seller or any of its Affiliates.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Buyer and the applicable Seller shall, until the Specified Matter Party Substitution has been completed, subject to the attorney-client privilege, promptly notify the other of the receipt and content of any oral or written communication, inquiries or requests for additional information it receives with respect from the applicable court or any other named party in such Specified Matter with respect to any Specified Matter Party Substitution and will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or Order: (i) cooperate in all respects with the other in connection with any Specified Matter Party Substitution and any inquiry related thereto; (ii) permit the other to review in advance and consider in good faith the other’s reasonable comments in any motion, filing or other communication submitted by it to the applicable court with respect to any Specified Matter Party Substitution; (iii) not participate or agree to participate in any meeting or telephone call or discussion with the applicable court or other parties named in the applicable Specified Matter in respect of any Specified Matter Party Substitution, unless it consults with the other in advance and gives the other or its counsel the reasonable opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or telephone call or discussion; and (iv) act in good faith and reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any Specified Matter Party Substitution.

-84-

(d)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to pay any fee or other consideration to any third party or agree to any concession to any third party for the purpose of obtaining any Specified Matter Party Substitution (other than, in each case, customary court filing fees and related costs and expenses or any customary commercial concessions that are not material), and in no event shall the Sellers or the Acquired Companies agree to (x) pay for any such fee or other consideration or (y) any such concession, in each case without the prior written consent of Buyer (except to the extent that such payment or concession constitutes an Excluded Liability hereunder).

Section 5.23         Financing.

(a)            Buyer will use 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 and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters, including, as promptly as possible: (i) satisfying, or causing to be satisfied, on a timely basis all conditions to Buyer obtaining the Financing set forth therein (including the payment of any fees required as a condition to the Debt Financing); (ii) negotiating and entering into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter that are not less favorable, taken as a whole, to Buyer, so that the agreements are in effect no later than the Closing Date; provided, however, that this clause (ii) will not prohibit Buyer from agreeing to terms that are less favorable to Buyer if such terms would be permitted in an amendment to the Debt Commitment Letter entered in accordance with Section 5.23(b); (iii) maintaining in effect the Commitment Letters through the consummation of the Closing; (iv) complying with its obligations under the Commitment Letters; (v) enforcing its rights under the Commitment Letters and the definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing; and (vi) consummating the Financing or causing the Financing to be consummated at or prior to Closing (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will include agreeing to consummate the Debt Financing even if any flex rights are exercised to their maximum extent).

(b)            Buyer will not permit any assignment of the Commitment Letters, or any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letter, in each case without obtaining UPS’s prior written consent; provided that the Debt Commitment Letter may be assigned to additional arrangers and bookrunners (and their lending affiliates) and may be amended or amended and restated to add such other arrangers, bookrunners and/or affiliates as parties, in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter. In addition to the foregoing, Buyer will not release or consent to the termination of the Debt Commitment Letter or of any Debt Financing Source in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter prior to the first to occur of the Closing and the expiration of the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms, except (i) for replacements of the Debt Commitment Letter with alternative financing in accordance with Section 5.23(c) or (ii) with UPS’s prior written consent; provided that the foregoing will not restrict the automatic reduction of the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms, and $300,000,000 of commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter may be cancelled without UPS’s prior written consent, so long as Buyer’s representations and warranties in Section 4.5(g) continue to remain true and accurate.

-85-

(c)            In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (including the flex provisions), (i) Buyer will promptly notify UPS, and (ii) Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain any such portion from the same or alternative sources, in an amount sufficient to enable Buyer to consummate the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, that does not impose any conditions or contingencies that would be reasonably expected to prevent or delay the Closing or contain any terms that would reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or impair the ability of Buyer to obtain the Debt Financing or consummate the Closing, as compared to the conditions and other terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof (as amended in accordance with Section 5.23(b)), taking into account any flex provisions thereof as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event. In furtherance of the provisions of this Section 5.23, the Debt Commitment Letter may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or superseded at the option of Buyer after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing by instruments (the “New or Amended Debt Commitment Letter”) that either amend, amend and restate, or replace the existing Debt Commitment Letter or contemplate co-investment by or financing from one or more other or additional parties (the “New Debt Financing Sources”); provided, that the terms of the New or Amended Debt Commitment Letter will not (A) expand upon the conditions precedent to the Debt Financing as set forth in the existing Debt Commitment Letter (unless such expansion results in conditions that are in the aggregate substantially equivalent to, or more favorable to the Buyer than, the conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter, in the reasonable judgment of UPS), (B) reasonably be expected to materially delay or hinder the Closing or (C) reduce the aggregate amount of available Debt Financing. In such event, (1) the term Debt Commitment Letter as used in this Agreement will be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letter that are not so superseded at the time in question and the New or Amended Debt Commitment Letter to the extent then in effect, (2) the term Debt Financing as used in this Agreement will be deemed to include the debt financing contemplated by any such New or Amended Debt Commitment Letter, and (3) the term Debt Financing Sources as used in this Agreement will be deemed to include the New Debt Financing Sources.

(d)            Prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, use their reasonable best efforts to, and will cause their respective representatives and Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts to, provide cooperation in connection with the arrangement of any debt and/or equity financing by Buyer (including the Debt Financing and the Equity Financing) and with causing the conditions to the Financing or any other financing proposed to be obtained by Buyer to be satisfied or as is otherwise reasonably requested by Buyer and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense; which cooperation shall include using reasonable best efforts to:

(i)            participate (which shall be limited to teleconference or virtual meeting platforms) in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and rating agency meetings, in each case, upon reasonable advance notice, during normal business hours and at mutually agreed times;

-86-

(ii)           provide reasonable and customary assistance to Buyer in its preparation of customary rating agency presentations, customary bank information memoranda and offering memoranda, customary prospectuses and similar documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, providing to Buyer information reasonably requested for purposes of preparing required historical or pro forma financial information based on financial information and data derived from the Seller Entities (solely as it relates to the Business) and the Acquired Companies’ books and records) reasonably and customarily required in connection with the equity and/or debt financing (including the Debt Financing), in each case, solely with respect to information relating to the Acquired Companies or the Business;

(iv)         deliver at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date information and documentation related to the Acquired Companies or the Business required and reasonably requested in writing by Buyer at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date with respect to compliance under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act;

(vii)        solely with respect to financial information and data derived from the Seller Entities’ and the Acquired Companies’ books and records relating to the Acquired Companies or the Business, provide reasonable and customary assistance to Buyer with the preparation of pro forma financial information and pro forma financial statements to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer or the Debt Financing Sources and customary to be included in any marketing materials or offering documents or of the type required by the Debt Commitment Letter or equity offering relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (provided that the Acquired Companies or their Affiliates shall not be responsible for the preparation of any pro forma financial statements or pro forma adjustments thereto);

All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates obtained by Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.23(d) will be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. As a condition to the obligations of any Acquired Company pursuant to this Section 5.23(d), Buyer will promptly upon request by any Acquired Company or Seller reimburse such Acquired Company and Affiliates for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and disbursements) incurred by such Acquired Company or any of its Affiliates in connection with the cooperation contemplated by this Section 5.23(d) (including the preparation of and, if applicable, updates to all Required Financial Information other than the audited financial statements of the Business for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and unaudited financial statements of the Business for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 that constitute Required Financial Information), whenever incurred, and will reimburse, defend, indemnify and hold harmless any such Person from, against and in respect of any and all Liabilities resulting from, or that exist or arise due to or in connection with the debt and equity financing contemplated by this Section 5.23(d), including providing the cooperation contemplated by this Section 5.23(d), and any information used in connection therewith (other than Liabilities resulting solely from materially inaccurate or misleading information provided by the Sellers or the Acquired Companies), in each case, other than to the extent any of the foregoing was suffered or incurred as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Agreement by, the Sellers, the Acquired Companies or any of their representatives, as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

-89-

(e)            Buyer agrees that the Acquired Companies and their Affiliates have no responsibility in connection with the Financing, with the sole exception of the cooperation obligations set forth in Section 5.23(d) (and subject to the limitations contained therein). Any document prepared or utilized in connection with such Financing activities that includes any information provided by the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, including any offering memorandum, banker’s book or similar document, any slide presentations or any other offering materials will (i) state that neither the Acquired Companies nor any of its Affiliates have any responsibility for the content of such document and (ii) disclaim all responsibility therefor on the part of the Acquired Companies, their Affiliates and their respective agents, in each case other than with respect to information regarding the Acquired Companies provided by any Acquired Company or any of its Affiliates for inclusion therein.

Sellers hereby consent, on behalf of themselves and the Acquired Companies, to the reasonable and customary use of the Acquired Companies’ logos in connection with the Financing; provided, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective Intellectual Property rights.

(f)            Buyer agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, its obligations to perform its agreements under this Agreement, including to consummate the Closing subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, are not in any way conditioned on obtaining of the Financing or any alternative financing or on the performance of any party to the Commitment Letters. None of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement will be deemed to apply to, or deemed breached or violated by, any of the actions taken by any Acquired Company or any of their Affiliates or respective representatives pursuant to this Section 5.23.

(g)            The Sellers shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, use reasonable best efforts to periodically update any Required Financial Information provided to Buyer as may be necessary so that such Required Financial Information is (i) Compliant and (ii) meets the applicable requirements set forth in the definition of “Required Financial Information”. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may, to most effectively access the financing markets, request the cooperation of the Acquired Companies and Sellers under Section 5.23(d) at any time, and from time to time and on multiple occasions, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing. Buyer agrees to provide Sellers drafts of all offering documents and all marketing materials for the Debt Financing with a reasonable time to review such documents and materials, and subject to Buyer’s compliance with such obligation, Sellers agree to use reasonable best efforts to review all such offering documents and marketing materials and identify for Buyer any information contained therein that they reasonably believe constitutes material non-public information with respect to the Acquired Companies (taken as a whole) or their respective securities.

-90-

(h)            To the extent that this Section 5.23 requires any Acquired Company’s cooperation with respect to any of the obligations of Buyer relating to the Debt Financing, such Acquired Company will be deemed to have complied with this Section 5.23 for purposes of Article VI if such Acquired Company has provided Buyer with the assistance required under Section 5.23(d) with respect to the Debt Financing. The condition set forth in Section 6.3(b), as it applies to the Acquired Companies’ obligations under this Section 5.23, will be deemed satisfied unless the Debt Financing (or any alternative debt financing, if applicable) has not been obtained, and is not available to be drawn down at the Closing (or the first date on which the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3 are satisfied or waived (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction of those conditions at Closing)), primarily as a direct and proximate result of any Acquired Company’s willful breach of its obligations under this Section 5.23.

(i)            Buyer will promptly provide UPS with copies of all executed amendments, modifications or replacements of the Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing, and such other information and documentation available to Buyer as will be reasonably requested by UPS for purposes of monitoring the progress of Buyer’s financing activities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer will promptly notify UPS (A) of any breach (or threatened breach) or default (or any circumstance that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to the Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing of which Buyer becomes aware, (B) of the receipt by Buyer of any written notice or communication from any Debt Financing Source or Equity Financing Source with respect to any breach (or threatened breach) or default (or any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default), or any termination or repudiation, in each case by any party to the Commitment Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing of any provisions of the Commitment Letters or such definitive agreements and (C) if for any reason the Buyer at any time believes it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Financing.

Further, each licensed party may transfer the license granted to such party, in whole or in part, (i) to an Affiliate or successor via merger that engages in the Business or the applicable Retained Businesses, as applicable, (ii) as part of an internal reorganization or (iii) to the acquirer of one or more businesses or business lines of such party covered by such license (or the entities owning the same), provided that, after any such acquisition, the above licenses shall not extend to any unrelated businesses of any such acquirer. All other transfers of such license require the prior written consent of the other Party in its sole discretion, and are void ab initio without same.

ARTICLE VIII

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION; EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES

Section 8.1         Survival. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and the covenants and agreements set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.23 (to the extent such covenant or agreement contemplates or requires performance by such Party prior to the Closing), in each case shall terminate at, and not survive, the Closing, and thereafter there will be no liability on the part of, nor will any claim be made by, any Party or any of their respective Affiliates in respect thereof, in each case, in the absence of Fraud. All of the covenants and agreements that contemplate or require performance by any Party prior to the Closing contained in this Agreement (other than the covenants and agreements set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.23) shall survive in full force and effect until the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date. All other covenants and agreements which are to be performed in connection with or at or after the Closing (including all covenants with respect to transfers of assets and liabilities) shall survive for the time periods specified therein and shall terminate once such covenants are fully performed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any indemnification claim is properly asserted pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth above, then such claim shall survive until its final resolution in accordance with this Agreement. The Parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 8.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’-length negotiation among the Parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the Parties.

Section 8.2         Indemnification by the Sellers. Subject to the terms of this ARTICLE VIII, from and after the Closing, the Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) and each of their respective representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Losses that such Buyer Indemnified Party may suffer or incur, or become subject to, to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from:

(i)            any breach or failure by any Seller or any Affiliate thereof (including, prior to the Closing, any Acquired Company) to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that survive the Closing as provided in Section 8.1;

-98-

(ii)           any Excluded Liability either (A) pertaining to the Business or the Acquired Companies or (B) for which the Losses in question are or would be incurred because the Sellers and their Affiliates were the former owners of the Business and the Acquired Companies;

(iii)          (x) to extent not included in clause (ii), Pre-Closing Taxes and (y) any Taxes of any member of any consolidated, affiliated, unitary, aggregate, combined or similar group of which an Acquired Company is or was a member prior to the Closing, for which any Acquired Company is secondarily liable pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or any corresponding provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law); or

(iv)         the matter set forth on Schedule 8.2(iv) (the “Specific Indemnity Matter”).

Section 8.3         Indemnification by the Buyer. Subject to the terms of this ARTICLE VIII, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers, their Affiliates and each of their respective representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Losses that such Seller Indemnified Party may suffer or incur, or become subject to, to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from:

(i)            any breach or failure by any Buyer or any Affiliate thereof (including, following the Closing, any Acquired Company) to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; or

(ii)           any Transferred Liability.

Section 8.4         Third Party Claim Procedures.

(a)            The party seeking indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action by any third party (“Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this ARTICLE VIII. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have actually prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. After receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party promptly copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b)            The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8.4, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not reasonably promptly, or is not permitted to, assume the control of such defense, then the Indemnified Party shall be permitted to control the defense of such Third Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.

(c)            The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates that the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages or (iii) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Third Party Claim or, in the opinion of the Indemnified Party’s outside counsel, a conflict otherwise exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party (or there are defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are unavailable to the Indemnifying Party). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers and their Affiliates will control the defense of the Specific Indemnity Matter.

-99-

(d)            If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms (or pursuant to a binding commitment of the Indemnifying Party) obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such settlement, compromise or discharge (i) requires only payment of monetary damages by the Indemnified Party (which shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party) and does not impose any injunctive or equitable relief on any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, (ii) does not provide for any admission of liability by any Indemnified Party, and (iii) provides for a full and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party may not settle, compromise or discharge any Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(e)            In circumstances where the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) above, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party.

(f)            Each Party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to, make available to the Sellers and their Affiliates any personnel and information reasonably necessary for the Sellers and their Affiliates to defend the Specific Indemnity Matter. Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, retain and continue to retain documents and records in accordance with any prior, current or future “litigation hold” notices in connection with the Specific Indemnity Matter. Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, make available to Buyer and its Affiliates any personnel and information reasonably necessary for the Buyer and its Affiliates to defend any litigation matters included in the Transferred Liabilities. Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, retain and continue to retain documents and records in accordance with any prior, current or future “litigation hold” notices in connection with any litigation matters included in the Transferred Liabilities.

(g)            In the event that an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure shall have actually prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

-100-

(h)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, UPS shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) will be entitled to participate in, any Tax Proceeding with respect to (A) any Tax Return of UPS or any of its Affiliates (other than any Acquired Company) or (B) any Combined Tax Return, except that Buyer shall continue to be entitled to notice and regular updates from UPS relating to any such Tax Proceeding which relates, in whole or in part to any matter that may give rise to Taxes for any Acquired Company that would be economically borne by Buyer or its Affiliates (including any Acquired Company following the Closing Date).

Section 8.5         Tax Treatment of Payments. The Sellers and Buyer shall treat any adjustments or indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement as adjustments to the Closing Purchase Price for Income Tax purposes except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 8.6         Additional Indemnification Matters.

(a)            Each Party shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, take reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any fact, event, circumstance or condition that has given rise to, or would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

(b)            The amount of any Losses of any Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VIII shall be calculated net of any amount actually received by an Indemnified Party from any third Person, including any insurance company or other insurance provider (in each case, calculated net of any actual collection costs and reserves, expenses, deductibles or premium adjustments or retrospectively rated premiums incurred or paid to procure such recoveries in respect of any Losses suffered, paid, sustained or incurred by such Indemnified Party) (such amount being referred to herein as a “Third Party Reimbursement”) in respect of the Losses suffered thereby. If, after receipt by an Indemnified Party of an indemnification payment hereunder, such Person receives a Third Party Reimbursement in respect of the same Losses (whether in whole or in part) for which indemnification was made and such Third Party Reimbursement was not taken into account in assessing the amount of indemnification, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly turn over to the Indemnifying Party all or the relevant portion of such Third Party Reimbursement.

A final judgment in any Legal Dispute described in this Section 9.8 following the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Laws.

(b)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party agrees that it will not bring or support any Action of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom). The Parties agree that process in any such Action may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in Section 9.2 will be deemed effective service of process on such Party.

Section 9.9         Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF, INCLUDING THE DEBT FINANCING (OR ANY EQUITY FINANCING IN LIEU THEREOF IN WHICH A DEBT FINANCING SOURCE IS PARTICIPATING).

Section 9.10         Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof) as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies; provided, that each of the Parties agrees that the Debt Commitment Letter, the rights and duties of the parties thereunder and any Actions arising under or related thereto will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York.

Section 9.11         Waiver of Conflicts; Privilege.

(a)            Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that King & Spalding LLP (“K&S”) has acted as counsel to each of the Acquired Companies and Sellers in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer hereby consents and agrees to, and agrees to cause the Acquired Companies to consent and agree to, K&S representing Sellers and any of their Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) after the Closing, including with respect to disputes in which the interests of the Seller Parties may be directly adverse to Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies), and even though K&S may have represented the Business in a matter substantially related to any such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for the Business. Buyer further consents and agrees to, and agrees to cause the Acquired Companies to consent and agree to, the communication by K&S to the Seller Parties in connection with any such representation of any fact known to K&S arising by reason of K&S’s prior representation of the Acquired Companies. In connection with the foregoing, Buyer hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause the Acquired Companies to irrevocably waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with (i) K&S’s prior representation of the Acquired Companies or the Business and (ii) K&S’s representation of the Seller Parties prior to and after the Closing. Buyer represents that Buyer’s attorneys have explained and helped Buyer evaluate the implications and risks of waiving the right to assert a future conflict against K&S, and Buyer’s consent with respect to this waiver is fully informed.

(b)            Buyer further agrees, on behalf of itself and, after the Closing, on behalf of the Acquired Companies, that all communications subject to any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or other similar protection for the benefit of the Seller Parties, in any form or format whatsoever between or among K&S, on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies, the Business or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or other representatives, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any dispute arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Privileged Deal Communications”) shall be deemed to be retained and owned collectively by the Seller Parties, shall be controlled by UPS on behalf of the Seller Parties and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or the Acquired Companies.

(c)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute arises between Buyer or the Acquired Companies, on the one hand, and a third party other than Sellers, on the other hand, Buyer or the Acquired Companies will be entitled to assert the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or other similar protection for the benefit of the Seller Parties to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Deal Communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor the Acquired Companies may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of UPS, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Buyer or the Acquired Companies are legally required by any Order or otherwise to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Deal Communications following the Closing, Buyer shall, to the extent permitted by Law and reasonably practicable, as soon as reasonably practicable notify UPS in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section 9.11) so that UPS can seek a protective order and Buyer agrees to use reasonable best efforts, at the Seller Parties’ request and sole expense, to assist therewith.

-105-

(d)            To the extent that files or other materials maintained by K&S that contain Privileged Deal Communications constitute property of its clients, only the Seller Parties shall hold such property rights and K&S shall have no duty to reveal or disclose any Privileged Deal Communications contained in such files or other materials or any other Privileged Deal Communications by reason of any attorney-client relationship between K&S, on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies, on the other hand.

(e)            Buyer agrees that it will not, and that it will cause the Acquired Companies not to, use any Privileged Deal Communications against the Seller Parties in connection with any dispute between any Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer and the Acquired Companies, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f)            This Section 9.11 is for the benefit of K&S and K&S is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 9.11. This Section 9.11 shall be irrevocable, and, without limiting the consent rights of Sellers under this Section 9.11, no term of this Section 9.11 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of K&S.

Section 9.12         Dutch Notary. The parties acknowledge that:

(a)            the Notary is holding office with Clifford Chance LLP;

(b)            Clifford Chance LLP acts as a legal adviser to Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(c)            the parties confirm their agreement and accept that the Notary shall execute the Deed of Transfer and shall perform any activities relating thereto and that this shall not prevent Clifford Chance LLP from continuing to act as legal adviser to Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 9.13         Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy, and accordingly the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy.

Section 9.14         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by email transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of the Agreement.

Section 9.15         Amendment; Modification. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time only by written agreement of the Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no DFS Provision may be amended or waived without consent of the Debt Financing Sources.

-106-

Section 9.16         Schedules. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other Section in this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure should qualify or apply to such other Section. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedules is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9.17         Time of Essence. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.3, with regard to all dates and time periods set forth in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Section 9.18         Bulk Sales Laws. Sellers and Buyer each hereby waive compliance by Sellers with the provisions of the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar Laws of any state or of any jurisdiction outside the U.S.

Section 9.19         Language; Prevailing Documents. This Agreement has been, and the Ancillary Agreements will be, prepared in the English language. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between the English language version of such documents and any translation thereof made for any purpose, the English language version will govern the interpretation and construction of such documents, and for any and all other purposes, except as may be required by applicable Law. In the event that any of the terms of this Agreement conflict with any of the terms of the Ancillary Agreements, the terms of this Agreement will prevail.

Section 9.20         Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any related Contract to the contrary, none of the Sellers, the Acquired Companies nor any of their Affiliates will have any rights or claims against (i) any provider of Debt Financing or Equity Financing, or (ii) any of the respective direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, assignees or representatives of Buyer or any provider of Debt Financing or Equity Financing, as applicable, in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing (or any equity financing in lieu thereof in which a Debt Financing Source is participating) or the Equity Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.
