Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, in consideration of the transaction set forth in Section 2(a), the consideration to be paid by Buyer to Seller (the “Membership Interest Purchase Price”) shall be equal to One Hundred Twenty-One Million Dollars ($121,000,000), plus (i) the Final Cash Amount; minus (ii) the Final Indebtedness Amount, subject to the treatment of Indebtedness on Schedule 1(a); minus (iii) the Final Debt-Like Items Amount, minus (iv) the Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount; plus (v) the amount, if any, up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (such amount, the “Upper Adjustment Cap”), by which the Final Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the sum of (1) the Net Working Capital Target, plus (2) Five-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) ((1) plus (2), the “Upper Collar Limit”), if applicable; or minus (vi) the amount, if any, up to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (such amount, the “Lower Adjustment Cap”), by which the Final Closing Net Working Capital is less than the difference of ((1) the Net Working Capital Target minus (2) Five-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) ((1) minus (2), the “Lower Collar Limit”)), if applicable.

(c) Closing Estimates. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (the “Closing Estimates”) calculations of (i) the estimated Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”), (ii) the estimated amount of Debt-Like Items as of the Effective Time on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Debt-Like Items Amount”), (iii) the estimated amount of Cash as of the Effective Time on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Cash Amount”), (iv) the estimated amount of Indebtedness as of immediately prior to the Closing based on the Payoff Letters or other loan satisfaction documents if Payoff Letters are not available (the “Estimated Indebtedness Amount”), and (v) the estimated amount of Seller Transaction Expenses that will remain unpaid as of the Closing (the “Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses Amount”). Seller shall also deliver to Buyer all reasonable supporting documentation to support Seller’s calculation of the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, the Estimated Debt-Like Items Amount, the Estimated Cash Amount, Estimated Indebtedness Amount, the Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses Amount and the Estimated Seller Closing Payment.

(d) Closing; Closing Payments. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a funds flow memorandum, containing the amounts to be paid at Closing and wire transfer instructions with respect to the accounts to which payments to be made at Closing (the “Funds Flow Memorandum”). The Closing shall take place via the remote exchange of signature pages as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day) after the date of the satisfaction or due waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 8 (excluding the delivery of any documents deliverable at the Closing), or such other place or date as may be mutually agreed by the Parties. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”. The Closing shall be deemed to be effective as of the Effective Time. At the Closing:

(i) Buyer shall pay or otherwise discharge, on behalf of the Company as part of the Estimated Seller Closing Payment, such amounts necessary to discharge all Indebtedness included in Estimated Indebtedness Amount in accordance with the Funds Flow Memorandum. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer is paying the Indebtedness directly only as an administrative convenience for the Company and Seller.

(ii) Buyer shall pay, on behalf of the Company as part of the Estimated Seller Closing Payment, all Seller Transaction Expenses included in the Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses Amount in accordance with the Funds Flow Memorandum. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer is paying the Seller Transaction Expenses directly only as an administrative convenience for the Company and Seller.

(iii) Buyer shall pay Seller, in accordance with the Funds Flow Memorandum, an aggregate amount equal to One Hundred Twenty-One Million Dollars ($121,000,000), plus (a) the Estimated Cash Amount; minus (b) the Estimated Indebtedness Amount, subject to the treatment of Indebtedness on Schedule 1(a); minus, (c) the Estimated Debt-Like Items Amount; minus (d) the Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses Amount; plus (e) the amount, if any, subject to the Upper Adjustment Cap, by which the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the Upper Collar Limit, minus (f) the amount, if any, subject to the Lower Adjustment Cap, by which the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Lower Collar Limit (collectively, the “Estimated Seller Closing Payment”).

(iv) All cash payments will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Closing Date pursuant to the wire transfer instructions set forth in the Funds Flow Memorandum.

(e) Post-Closing Confirmation of Purchase Price.

(i) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event within sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller Buyer’s calculations of (a) the Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time on the Closing Date (the “Final Closing Net Working Capital”), (b) the Debt-Like Items as of the Effective Time on the Closing Date (the “Final Debt-Like Items Amount”), (c) the amount of Cash as of the Effective Time on the Closing Date (the “Final Cash Amount”), (d) the amount of Indebtedness as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Final Indebtedness Amount”), (e) the amount of Seller Transaction Expenses that were unpaid as of the Closing (the “Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount”), and (f) the Final Seller Closing Payment (collectively, with (a) through (f) the “Final Closing Statement”) based on such determinations in each case prepared solely in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the definitions of Final Cash Amount, Final Indebtedness Amount, Final Debt-Like Items Amount, Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount, Final Closing Net Working Capital, and Final Seller Closing Payment herein. Such calculations shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer shall also deliver to Seller all reasonable supporting documentation to support Buyer’s calculation of the Final Cash Amount, Final Indebtedness Amount, Final Debt-Like Items Amount, Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount, Final Closing Net Working Capital and Final Seller Closing Payment. The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Final Closing Statement and determining the amounts of Cash, Indebtedness,

Debt-Like Items, Seller Transaction Expenses, Net Working Capital and the related Final Seller Closing Payment is to measure changes in the amounts of Cash, Indebtedness, Debt-Like Items, Seller Transaction Expenses and Net Working Capital (taking into consideration the Upper Collar Limit, the Lower Collar Limit, the Upper Adjustment Cap and the Lower Adjustment Cap) between the date on which Seller delivers its estimates thereof in accordance with Section 2(c) and the actual amount thereof as of the Closing Date, in each case in accordance with the Accounting Principles, and in undertaking such processes, the Parties shall not introduce different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of determining the amounts of Cash, Indebtedness, Debt-Like Items, Seller Transaction Expenses and Net Working Capital under this paragraph from those used in the Accounting Principles or reference definitions. Without limiting the foregoing, the Final Closing Net Working Capital and the Final Cash Amount shall not contain any categories or types of assets or liabilities or other accounts, reserves or line items not reflected in the calculations of the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital or the Estimated Cash Amount, respectively, or included in the Accounting Principles. If Buyer fails to deliver the Final Closing Statement within sixty (60) days following the Closing, then the Closing Estimates shall be final, not subject to further adjustment and shall be binding for all purposes (including calculating the Membership Interest Purchase Price).

(ii) If Seller wishes to dispute the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount, the Final Indebtedness Amount, the Final Debt-Like Items Amount, the Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount, or the Final Seller Closing Payment determined by Buyer, then Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Dispute Notice”) describing with reasonable detail the basis for any such dispute within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Final Closing Statement. If Seller does not deliver the Dispute Notice to Buyer within such thirty (30) calendar day time period, then the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount, the Final Indebtedness Amount, the Final Debt-Like Items Amount, the Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount, and the Final Seller Closing Payment set forth in the Final Closing Statement shall be deemed final and accepted by Seller. Any Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (x) any item delivered by Buyer in the Final Closing Statement which Seller believes has not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and, to the extent then known or able to be estimated, the purported correct amount of such item and (y) to the extent then known or able to be estimated, Seller’s alternative calculation of each such item and the Final Seller Closing Payment. Subject to Section 2(e)(i), any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in a Dispute Notice will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties on the thirty-first (31st) calendar day after the delivery to Seller of the Final Closing Statement. Buyer and Seller will use reasonable efforts to resolve any such dispute themselves. If any such dispute is not finally resolved within thirty (30) calendar days after Buyer’s receipt of the Dispute Notice (the “Discussion Period”), either Buyer or Seller may promptly thereafter cause a mutually acceptable third party accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”), acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, to resolve such dispute. The Independent Accountant shall apply the Accounting Principles and the other principles set forth in this Agreement (including the requirements of Section 2(e)(i)) for purposes of the disputed calculations on a consistent basis. Buyer and Seller shall keep each other copied on any correspondence with the Independent Accountant, and shall not

engage in telephone calls or meetings with the Independent Accountant unless the other Party is provided with reasonable advance notice of the call or meeting and an opportunity to participate. Within thirty (30) calendar days after submission to the Independent Accountant for resolution, Buyer and Seller shall each indicate in writing their position on each disputed matter and each such Party’s determination of the amount of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount, the Final Indebtedness Amount, the Final Debt-Like Items Amount, the Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount, and the Final Seller Closing Payment. The Independent Accountant’s determination shall be based solely on the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement and/or presentations consisting of (i) a single written presentation submitted by each of the Buyer and Seller in accordance with the preceding sentence (which the Independent Account shall be instructed to distribute to the Buyer and Seller upon receipt of both such presentations) and (ii) a single written response submitted by each of the Buyer and Seller to each such presentation and any interrogatories of the Independent Accountant (which the Independent Accountant shall be instructed to distribute to Buyer and Seller upon receipt of such responses). The Parties shall instruct the Independent Accountant to make a written determination on each disputed matter (and no other matters) no later than sixty (60) calendar days after submission to the Independent Accountant for resolution and such determination will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties with respect to each disputed matter, absent fraud or manifest error. The Independent Accountant shall, by applying the Accounting Principles and the principles set forth in this Agreement (including the requirements of Section 2(e)(i)), only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties and its decision for each disputed item must be within the range of values assigned to each such item by Buyer (in Buyer’s calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount, the Final Indebtedness Amount, the Final Debt-Like Items Amount, the Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount, or the Final Seller Closing Payment) or Seller (in the Dispute Notice). The proposed Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount, the Final Indebtedness Amount, the Final Debt-Like Items Amount, the Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount, and the Final Seller Closing Payment will be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any such claims pursuant to this Section 2(e)(ii). The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant incurred in the resolution of such dispute shall be borne by Buyer and Seller in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Buyer and Seller from the resolution of the dispute, which proportionate allocation shall be determined by the Independent Accountant at the time the determination of the Independent Accountant is rendered on the merits. For example, if Seller challenges the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital by an amount of $100,000, but the Independent Accountant determines that Seller has a valid claim for only $40,000 (i.e., Seller prevails as to 40% of its claim), then Buyer shall bear 40% of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant and Seller shall bear the other 60% of such fees and expenses. Each of the Parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Independent Accountant (including by executing a customary engagement letter reasonably acceptable to it) and to cause the Independent Accountant to resolve any such dispute as soon as practicable after the commencement of the Independent Accountant’s engagement.

(iii) Buyer will provide Seller with reasonable access to the books and records used in the preparation of the calculations of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount, the Final Indebtedness Amount, the Final Debt-Like Items Amount, the Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount, and the Final Seller Closing Payment and shall make its (and the Company’s) financial staff and accountants (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested) reasonably available to Seller and its accountants and other representatives and to the Independent Accountant upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours during (a) the review by Seller of the calculations of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount, the Final Indebtedness Amount, the Final Debt-Like Items Amount, the Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount, and the Final Seller Closing Payment, (b) the Discussion Period and (c) the resolution by Buyer and Seller or the Independent Accountant of any objections thereto.

(f) Adjustment Payment. After the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount, the Final Indebtedness Amount, the Final Debt-Like Items Amount, the Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount, and the Final Seller Closing Payment (each as finally determined under Section 2(e)):

(i) If there is a Final Deficiency then, no later than five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount, the Final Indebtedness Amount, the Final Debt-Like Items Amount, the Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount, and the Final Seller Closing Payment in accordance with Section 2(e), Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller the amount of the Final Deficiency by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Seller.

(ii) If there is a Final Excess, then, no later than five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount, the Final Indebtedness Amount, the Final Debt-Like Items Amount, the Final Seller Transaction Expenses, and the Final Seller Closing Payment in accordance with Section 2(e), Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of the Final Excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by Buyer.

(iii) If the Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount or the Final Indebtedness Amount is greater than the Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses Amount or the Estimated Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, Buyer shall pay such excess to the applicable vendors who are owed the additional Seller Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness so long as such amounts were taken into account in calculating the adjustment payment reflecting either the Final Deficiency or the Final Excess.

(iv) Any payments made to any Party pursuant to this Section 2(f) shall constitute an adjustment of the Membership Interest Purchase Price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the Parties hereto on their Tax Returns to the greatest extent permitted by Law.

(g) Withholding. Buyer will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Buyer (or any Affiliate thereof) shall determine in good faith they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Laws; provided, however, that prior to making any such deduction or withholding on any amount to be paid to Seller, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Seller of its intent to make such deduction or withholding at least five (5) Business Days prior to payment and shall reasonably cooperate with Seller to avoid (or minimize) such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by Buyer, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Company. As of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule (as described in Section 12(a) below), the Company represents and warrants to Buyer that:

(a) Organization and Qualification; Enforceability. The Company is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all requisite power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties, to carry on its business as and where it is currently being conducted. The Company is legally qualified to transact business as a foreign entity and is in good standing in each of the jurisdictions in which its business or property is located such as to require that it be thus qualified, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties hereto, constitutes, and when executed and delivered, the other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Company pursuant hereto, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties thereto, will constitute, valid and binding agreements of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.

(b) Capitalization. All of the issued and outstanding membership interests or other equity interests of the Company are listed on Exhibit A. All of such membership interests or other equity interests were duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned (beneficially and of record) as set forth on Exhibit A. Each equity interest was duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action, as applicable, including approval by the Company’s managers and any required member approval by the necessary number of votes or written consents. Except as set forth on Exhibit A, there are no other equity interests in the Company outstanding, and there are no options, warrants, restricted equity, equity appreciation rights, subscriptions, puts, calls, purchase rights, preemptive rights, convertible instruments, exchange rights or other rights, agreements, arrangements, or commitments of any character relating to the issued or unissued membership interests or other equity interests of the Company or obligating the Company to issue, deliver, transfer or sell any membership interests or other equity interests in, the Company.

The Example NWC Calculation has been prepared by the Company in good faith based on the books and records of the Company and Seller and, to the Knowledge of the Company, such Example NWC Calculation does not exclude any material current assets or material current liabilities of the Company.

The Company has delivered or made available to Buyer complete and accurate copies of each written Material Contract. The Company is not in default in any material respect under any Material Contract. To the Company’s Knowledge, no third party is in default in any material respect under any Material Contract to which the Company is a party, nor has any event or omission occurred that, through the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would be reasonably likely to constitute a default by any such third party in any material respect thereunder, or give rise to an automatic termination, or the right of discretionary termination thereof by such third party. The Company has not received written notice of termination of any Material Contract. Each Material Contract is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding agreement enforceable against the Company and, to the Company’s Knowledge, the other party or parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, and other similar Laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and by general principles of equity (including without limitation the availability of specific performance or injunctive relief and the application of concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing) (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

(k) Employee Benefit Plans.

(i) Schedule 3(k)(i) lists all Employee Benefit Plans maintained, sponsored, or contributed to by the Company or under which the Company has or could have any Liability and separately lists or identifies each Employee Benefit Plan that is maintained or sponsored by the Company or under which the Company could have any Liability following the Closing (each such plan, a “Company Plan”), but excluding any governmental program that the Company is required by Law to maintain or contribute to (such as unemployment compensation insurance and the U.S. federal Social Security program).

(ii) Except as set forth on Schedule 3(k)(ii), the Company does not maintain, contribute to or have any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to contribute to, nor has maintained, contributed to nor had any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to contribute to, any “multiemployer plan” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA.

(g) Agreement of Confidentiality; Non-Solicitation.

(i) During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, and following the termination of this Agreement should the Closing not occur, the Buyer agrees as follows:

	a.	that it and its Affiliates shall use Confidential Information solely for the purposes relating to this Agreement and for no other purpose, that Confidential Information will not be used in any way detrimental to the Company or the Seller and that the Confidential Information will be kept confidential and that Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates will not disclose any of the Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever other than to Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, managers, agents, advisors, attorneys or other representatives who legitimately need to know such information and who agree to keep such information confidential and are made aware of Buyer’s obligations of confidentiality under this Agreement. Buyer agrees to undertake reasonable precautions to safeguard and protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, to accept responsibility for any disclosure of such Confidential Information or breach of this Section 6(g) by the Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, and to take commercially reasonable measures to restrain Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or uses of the Confidential Information. Buyer will notify the Seller in writing of any unauthorized disclosure or release of Confidential Information promptly (but in any event, within 48 hours) after discovery of such disclosure or release by a person within Buyer’s or any of Buyer’s Affiliates’ organization. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that, from and after the Closing, all Confidential Information (other than any confidential, non-public or proprietary information of Seller, including the terms of this Agreement) shall be the sole property of Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company), and nothing contained in this Section 6(g) shall restrict Buyer’s and its Affiliates use or disclosure thereof after the Closing.

	b.	The term “Confidential Information” shall mean all information relating, directly or indirectly, to the Company or its business, products, technology, markets, condition (financial or other), operations, assets, liabilities, results of operations, cash flows or prospects of the Company (whether prepared by or at the direction of the Company) and shall also be deemed to include all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, forecasts, interpretations or other documents prepared by Buyer that contain, reflect or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information delivered, disclosed or furnished to Buyer pursuant hereto.

	c.	In the event that Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar legal process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Buyer shall provide Seller with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that Seller and/or the Company may in its sole discretion seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with this Section 6(g)(i)c. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Seller, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer are nonetheless, in the opinion of legal counsel, legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information Buyer or its Affiliate may disclose to such tribunal only that portion of the Confidential Information which such counsel advises Buyer is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that Buyer shall use Buyer’s commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality and all legal privileges attaching to the Confidential Information, including by cooperating with the Company to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information by such tribunal; and provided further that Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of (i) Buyer’s determination to make such disclosure and (ii) the nature, scope and contents of such disclosure.

In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11, Buyer will and will cause each of its Affiliates and representatives to, as soon as practicable, either destroy (with e-mail confirmation from Buyer to the Seller of such destruction) or deliver to the Seller, at Buyer’s expense, all of the Confidential Information, including all copies, reproductions, summaries, analyses or extracts thereof or based thereon in Buyer’s or any of Buyer’s Affiliates or Buyer’s representative’s possession without retaining any copies thereof.

(ii) Following the termination of this Agreement, should the Closing not occur, for a period of twenty-four (24) months following such termination, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates or agents to: (a) solicit, induce or attempt to solicit or induce any of the directors, officers, engineers or management-level employees of the Company to discontinue such person’s relationship with the Company, or (b) contact any customer, supplier, distributor or other material business relation of the Company, regarding their business with the Company (other than in connection with general industry research without reference to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written (including by e-mail) consent of Seller.

(iii) Commencing on the Closing Date and during the Restriction Period, Seller and its Affiliates shall not: (a) solicit, induce or attempt to solicit or induce any existing (as of the Closing Date) customer of the Company for the purpose of influencing such Person to provide business to Seller or its Affiliates (or through Seller to any other Person) in connection with the Business or to cease doing business in whole or in part with Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates that is likely to negatively affect the Business, (b) use the Confidential Information of the Company to engage in the Business within the United States to compete with the Business conducted by the Company on the date of the Closing; or (c) solicit, induce or attempt to solicit or induce any directors, officers, engineers or management-level employees of the Company to terminate their employment with the Company provided that the restriction in this Section 6(g)(iii)(c) shall not apply to any general solicitation of individuals for employment by a recruiter in the absence of specific direction to contact employees of the Company or through general recruitment advertising that is not specifically directed to the employees of the Company.

(iv) From and after the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates and their representatives shall not disclose, furnish, disseminate, make available or use any Confidential Information; provided, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to information (a) which becomes available to Seller and its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a third-party source that is not under any obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information, (b) was created or developed by Seller or Seller’s Affiliates (other than the Company) prior to creation, development or use by the Company or (c) which is in the public domain or enters into the public domain through no fault of Seller or any of its Affiliates. In the event that Seller or any Affiliate of Seller is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar legal process) to disclose any Confidential Information after the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that Buyer and/or the Company may in its sole discretion seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with this Section 6(g)(iv). If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Buyer, Seller or any Affiliate of Seller are nonetheless, in the opinion of legal counsel, legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information, Seller or its Affiliate may disclose to such tribunal only that portion of the Confidential Information which such counsel advises Seller is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that Seller shall use Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality and all legal privileges attaching to the Confidential Information, including by cooperating with the Company to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information by such tribunal; and provided further that Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of (1) Seller’s determination to make such disclosure and (2) the nature, scope and contents of such disclosure.

(v) This Section 6(g) shall supersede any confidentiality or non-disclosure or related agreement separately entered into by the Parties prior to the date of this Agreement.

(h) Books and Records. After the Closing, Buyer will, and will cause the Company to, retain all books, records and other documents pertaining to the business of the Company as in existence on the Closing Date for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date (including such information as Seller may need in order to prepare statements regarding deconsolidation of the Company) and to make the same available in a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the Company’s normal business operations after the Closing Date for such five-year period for inspection and copying by Seller and its representatives during the normal business hours of the Company or by providing copies thereof to Seller or its agents via email, upon reasonable request and upon reasonable advance notice (except that the Company and Buyer shall have no obligation to provide Seller with access to any document if Buyer reasonably believes that such access would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege or similar legal protection with respect to such document and the Company, unless adequate measures can reasonably be developed to avoid the loss of such privilege, and Buyer shall have no obligation to provide Seller with access to any personnel files, medical records or other documents for which disclosure is restricted by applicable Law).

(i) Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance. Buyer shall purchase (or cause the Company to purchase) from a nationally recognized or otherwise reputable insurer at the expense of Buyer (provided, such premium with respect thereto shall not exceed $200,000) extended reporting period endorsement(s) to the Company’s currently existing directors’ and officers’, fiduciary liability and employment practices liability insurance for a period of six years (a “Tail Policy”) with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing (including the transactions contemplated hereby) (“Pre-Closing Claims”). Buyer shall maintain this endorsement in full force and effect for its full term. Buyer shall not cause or permit any amendments to the Organizational Documents of the Company that would have the effect of impairing the coverage available under the Tail Policy with respect to Pre-Closing Claims. If Buyer or the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Buyer shall cause proper provisions to be made prior to the consummation of any transaction of the type described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this sentence so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6(i). This Section 6(i) is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third-party rights to, the current directors and officers of the Company and the other Persons that would be covered by the Tail Policy, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Buyer. Each of the current directors and officers of the Company and each of the other Persons that would be covered by the Tail Policy shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 6(i), and entitled to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 6(i).

(j) Release. Seller, on behalf of itself and its predecessors, successors and Affiliates, and each of their respective, assigns, heirs, executors, legatees, administrators, beneficiaries, representatives and agents (the “Releasing Parties”), fully, finally and irrevocably releases, acquits and forever discharges the Company, Buyer, and each of their respective directors, officers, predecessors, successors and assigns, and the beneficiaries, heirs, executors, insurers and representatives of any of them (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all Contracts, Claims, Losses and Liabilities of every kind and nature whatsoever (including preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, co-sale rights and similar rights) that relate to the Bertelsmann Education Group, whether arising from any Contract or otherwise, known or unknown, past, present or future, at Law or in equity, contingent or otherwise (collectively, a “Potential Claim”), that such Releasing Parties, or any of them, had, has or may have in the future against the Released Parties, or any of them, for any matter, cause or thing relating to the Company or the Business and occurring at any time at or prior to the Closing (the “Released Matters”), except that the Released Matters do not include any Potential Claim by such Releasing Parties arising from or relating to: (i) any rights or benefits available to any Releasing Party under this Agreement (including the right to receive payment under Section 2 as adjusted pursuant to Section 2(e) for Membership Interests on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement) and any Contract entered into by the Releasing Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any agreement (including any amendment to any agreement) to which the Company is a party set forth on Schedule 6(k)(i); (ii) amounts owed to Seller or its Affiliates for (x) goods and services with respect to an unrelated commercial transaction or (y) to the extent reflected in the Final Closing Net Working Capital; or (iii) Claims that cannot be released as a matter of Law.

(k) Termination and Modification of Certain Agreements.

(i) Effective immediately prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cause all Contracts between the Company, on the one hand, and Seller or any other Affiliate of Seller (other than the Company), on the other hand, except those Contracts listed on Schedule 6(k)(i), to be terminated and of no further force or effect (and no further payment shall be due or payable thereunder). The Company shall take such action as may be necessary so that, effective as of the Closing Date, there shall be no Liabilities or Indebtedness owed to or from the Company, on one hand, to Seller or any other Affiliate of Seller (other than the Company), on the other hand, other than with respect to any Liabilities or Indebtedness pursuant to this Agreement or Liabilities set forth in the Contracts set forth on Schedule 6(k)(i).

Section 7. Covenants Regarding Tax Matters.

(a) Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(i) Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall timely file or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to Company for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date, including those which are due to be filed after the Closing Date (“Seller Prepared Returns”). Buyer and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Seller with respect to the preparation of such Seller Prepared Returns. A copy of any Seller Prepared Return shall be provided to Buyer for its review at least ten (10) days prior to the due date (giving effect to any validly obtained extensions) thereof, and Buyer shall have three (3) days to notify Seller in writing of any item on such Seller Prepared Return that Buyer reasonably determines could subject the Company to penalties under applicable Tax Law, and, if no comments are received by Seller within such period, Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed to such Seller Prepared Return as prepared by Seller. If a written statement of disputed items is timely delivered, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable efforts to resolve such items. In the event Seller and Buyer are unable to reach agreement with respect to any reasonably disputed items within a period of three (3) days after Seller’s receipt of such statement, all such reasonably disputed items shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant (or the appropriate Tax specialist in his or her accounting firm) for final resolution at least two (2) days before the applicable filing due date. Buyer shall cause to be executed and delivered all such Seller Prepared Returns by the Company after the Closing which are required to be executed and delivered in accordance with the directions of Seller as prepared by Seller and as amended to reflect the Independent Accountant’s resolution if applicable. To the extent consistent with applicable Law, the Seller Prepared Returns will be prepared on a basis consistent with its past practices. Seller will be responsible for all Pre-Closing Taxes.

(ii) Except for Seller Prepared Returns, Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns for the Company and make payment of such Taxes. With respect to any such Tax Return for a Straddle Period, Buyer will prepare such Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the past practices of the Company to the extent consistent with applicable law, and Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of all such Tax Returns for Seller’s review and approval at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing due date.

(iii) Following receipt of each Tax Return for a Straddle Period described in Section 7(a)(ii), Seller shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days to provide Buyer with a written statement of any disputed items with respect to such Tax Return, and, if no comments are received by Buyer within such period, Seller shall be deemed to have agreed to such Tax Return as prepared by Buyer. If a written statement of disputed items is timely delivered, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable efforts to resolve such items. In the event Seller and Buyer are unable to reach agreement with respect to any reasonably disputed items within a period of five (5) days after Buyer’s receipt of such statement, all such reasonably disputed items shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant (or the appropriate Tax specialist in his or her accounting firm) for final resolution at least five (5) days before the applicable filing due date. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination by applying the past practices of the Company to the extent consistent with applicable Tax Law and this Agreement, and such determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return (taking into account any available extensions), the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Buyer and then amended to reflect the Independent Accountant’s resolution with appropriate Parties made between the Parties as necessary to give effect to such amendment. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. Seller shall pay to Buyer its share of any Tax liability with respect to a Tax Return for a Straddle Period at least three (3) days before the applicable filing due date.

(iv) For the sole purpose of apportioning any income or expense of the Company relating to a Straddle Period or any Tax imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property or any other specifically identifiable transaction or event, subject to Section 7(e), Buyer and Seller shall cause the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to elect with the relevant Governmental Authority to treat for all purposes the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period of the Company, and, in accordance with Section 7(a)(i), Seller shall be responsible for Tax Returns and payment of Taxes only with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Period ending on the Closing Date. In the case where applicable Law does not permit the Company to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, then for purposes of this Agreement, the portion of such Tax that is attributable to Seller for the part of such Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date shall be (a) in the case of a Tax that is not based or measured by income or receipts of the Company or that is not imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property or any other specifically identifiable transaction or event, the total amount of such Tax for the full taxable period that includes the Closing Date (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the beginning of such taxable period to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such full taxable period, and (b) in the case of a Tax that is based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property or any other specifically identifiable transaction or event, the Tax that would be due with respect to such partial period, if such partial period were a full taxable period, apportioning income, gain, expenses, Loss, deductions and credits equitably based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the prior practices of the Company and Seller to the extent consistent with applicable Tax Law.

(v) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the furnishing of information relating to and the filing of Tax Returns of or relating to the Company and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, including with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Such cooperation shall include signing any Tax Return, amended Tax Returns or other documents necessary to settle any Tax controversy under Section 7(e), the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Parties agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by another Party, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority.

(vi) Except with respect to any amount included in the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, any refund of Taxes of the Company, or any amounts credited against such Taxes, (including any interest actually received or credited with respect thereto) attributable (or treated as attributable) to any period occurring on or before the Closing Date shall be the property of Seller, shall be paid promptly by the Company or Buyer upon receipt to or at the direction of Seller or its Affiliates.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any obligation to provide the other Party or any of its Affiliates with a copy of any Tax Return of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or similar Tax group of which Buyer or Seller is a member.

(b) Post-Closing Audits and Other Proceedings. From and after the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall give prompt notice to each other if any taxing authority provides notice of an intent to audit, review or conduct any other proceeding with respect to the Taxes of or relating to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and any Straddle Period. Except with respect to income Tax matters related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Buyer shall control the conduct of any Tax audit or proceeding involving the Company that occurs after the Closing Date. Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed of the progress of any such audit or other proceeding involving a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period and shall provide Seller with copies of all correspondences, notices and other written materials received from any Governmental Authority with respect to the Tax audit, and Seller shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with Buyer and the Company in the conduct of any such audit or other proceeding. Seller shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such audit or other proceeding and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne by Seller. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, resolve, settle, compromise or abandon any issue or claim without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such action would adversely affect the Tax-related liabilities of Seller or the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period (including any imposition of any income Tax deficiencies). Seller shall control all audits or proceedings with respect to income Tax matters involving the Company for periods that end on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller shall not resolve, settle, compromise or abandon any issue or claim without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such action would adversely affect the Tax-related liabilities of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company) for a taxable period ending after the Closing Date. Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, cooperate in all reasonable respects with Seller in the conduct of any such audit or proceeding.

(c) Amendment of Returns. Except as otherwise required by applicable Tax Law or if agreed to in writing by Seller, Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, file, amend or cause the amendment of a Tax Return of the Company, change an annual accounting period of the Company, adopt or change any accounting method of the Company, or file or amend any Tax election concerning the Company, in each case, to the extent such action would have a retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(d) Transfer Taxes. Any sales, use, stamp, registration, transfer, real estate transfer and documentary Taxes and recording fees, or other Taxes or fees applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be borne 100% by Buyer up to the first $100,000 of such Taxes and any excess shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller.

(e) Other Tax Matters. With respect to certain Tax matters, unless otherwise required by Law, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

(i) Buyer shall not, and shall not allow the Company to, initiate, agree to, or take any material action in connection with, any Seller Tax Matter that would have the effect of increasing the Tax-related Liability of the Company or Seller for a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of Seller.

(ii) No election shall be made after the Closing Date by (or on behalf of) the Company to waive any Tax attribute or Tax credit incurred or realized in a Pre-Closing Tax Period by the Company.

(iii) Buyer shall not, and shall not allow the Company to, engage in any transaction after the Closing, but on the Closing Date, that is outside of the Ordinary Course of Business and is not contemplated by this Agreement and that could increase the amount of Taxes of or relating to the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(f) Tax Treatment. The Parties agree that the purchase and sale of the Membership Interests is intended to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as an acquisition of all of the assets of the Company in a transaction treated as an “applicable asset acquisition” within the meaning of Section 1060 of the Code (the “Transaction Tax Treatment”), and the Company will be treated at all times up to and including the Closing Date as an entity that is disregarded as separate from its owner for U.S. federal, state and local income Tax purposes.

(g) Purchase Price Allocation. No later than ninety (90) days after the Membership Interest Purchase Price is finally determined hereunder pursuant to Section 2(e), Buyer will deliver to Seller a proposed allocation of the Membership Interest Purchase Price and other amounts treated as consideration for federal income (and other applicable) Tax purposes, which allocation will be consistent with the Transaction Tax Treatment and will be prepared in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Buyer’s Draft Allocation”). If Seller disagrees with Buyer’s Draft Allocation, Seller may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of Buyer’s Draft Allocation, deliver a notice (“Seller’s Allocation Notice”) to Buyer to such effect, specifying those items as to which Seller disagrees and setting forth Seller’s proposed allocation of the Membership Interest Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts). If Seller does not timely deliver a Seller Allocation Notice, Seller will be deemed to have agreed to Buyer’s Draft Allocation. If Seller’s Allocation Notice is delivered to Buyer within such thirty (30) day period, Seller and Buyer will, during the twenty (20) days following such delivery, negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation of the Membership Interest Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts). If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach such agreement within such twenty (20) day period, then the Parties will submit Buyer’s Draft Allocation and Seller’s Allocation Notice to the Independent Accountant to resolve all disputed items. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. The allocation of the Membership Interest Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts) as prepared by Buyer (if no Seller’s Allocation Notice has been timely delivered), as adjusted pursuant to any agreement reached by Seller and Buyer, if any, or as determined by the Independent Accountant (the “Purchase Price Allocation”), will be conclusive and binding on all Parties. None of the Parties shall take any tax position (whether in audits, on Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations. The respective obligations of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby shall also be subject to the satisfaction at or prior to the Closing of each of the following conditions:

(d) Frustration of Closing Conditions.

Section 10. Survival; Indemnification.

(a) Survival. All representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, except for those representations and warranties set forth in Section 3(a) (Organization and Qualification; Enforceability), Section 3(b) (Capitalization), Section 3(r) (Brokers), Section 4(a) (Organization, Power and Standing), Section 4(b) (Authorization; Due Execution; Enforceability) and Section 4(c) (Title to Company Membership Interests) which shall survive indefinitely, which such representations and warranties are referred to as the “Fundamental Representations and Warranties”. The covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms contemplate actions or impose obligations following the Closing shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms do not contemplate actions or impose obligations following the Closing, other than the covenants and agreements in Section 6(b), shall not survive the Closing and shall thereupon terminate. The covenants and agreements in Section 6(b) shall survive the Closing until the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount, the Final Indebtedness Amount, the Final Debt-Like Items Amount, the Final Seller Transaction Expenses Amount and the Final Seller Closing Payment in accordance with Section 2(e).

(b) Seller Indemnification. From and after the Closing, and subject to Section 11(b) and this Section 10, including the limitations set forth in Section 10(j), the Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and each of its Affiliates (which shall include, following the Closing, the Company), directors, officers, managers, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses arising out of (i) the failure of Seller to duly perform or comply with any covenant or agreement to be performed or complied with by the Seller (or, prior to the Closing, by the Company) pursuant to this Agreement (the remedy for which survives the Closing), (ii) any breach of any representation set forth in Section 3 or Section 4, (iii) any Indebtedness or any Seller Transaction Expenses or (iv) any Excluded Taxes, in the case of (iii) and (iv) to the extent such amounts were not taken into account in determining the adjustment to the Membership Interest Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2(e) or paid by the Seller prior to the Closing.

(c) Buyer Indemnification. From and after the Closing, and subject to Section 11(b) and this Section 10, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, managers, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses arising out of (i) the failure of Buyer to duly perform or comply with any covenant or agreement to be performed or complied with by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (the remedy for which survives the Closing) or (ii) any breach of any representation of Buyer set forth in Section 5.

(d) Calculation of Losses. Any calculation of Losses for purposes of this Section 10 shall be (i) net of any insurance or other third party recovery actually received by the Indemnified Party (whether paid directly to such Indemnified Party or assigned by the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party) (net of the out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred of pursuing or obtaining such recovery from such third party or with respect to insurance proceeds, net of any deductibles and any increased premium amounts attributable to such claim) and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the deductibility of any such Losses. The amount of any increase or reduction hereunder shall be adjusted as necessary to reflect any final resolution with respect to the Indemnified Party’s Liability for Taxes and, if necessary, the Seller, or Buyer, as the case may be, shall make payments to the other to reflect such adjustment. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Membership Interest Purchase Price, for Tax purposes. Each Party shall notify the other Party if it receives notice that any Tax authority proposes to treat any indemnity payment under this Agreement as other than an adjustment to the Membership Interest Purchase Price for Tax purposes. A Party (and its Affiliates) shall not be deemed to have suffered a “Loss” with respect to an item to the extent such party was actually compensated therefor by reason of an increase in the amount otherwise paid to it or a reduction in the amount otherwise paid by it pursuant to any other Section of this Agreement. Only for the purposes of calculating Losses suffered by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10(b)(ii) and Section 10(c)(ii) (but not for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred under this Agreement) each representation and warranty that contains any qualification as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no such qualifications.

(e) Expiration of Claims. No action or claim for Losses subject to indemnification under Section 10(b) or Section 10(c) with respect to a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be brought or made after the expiration of the period of survival set forth in Section 10(a) applicable to such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, regardless of when the facts underlying such claim are first discovered; provided, however, that any claim made with reasonable specificity after the Closing and prior to such expiration of the period of survival by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party shall survive (and be subject to indemnification) until it is finally and fully resolved.

(f) Liabilities Regarding Certain Financial Aspects. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no indemnity or other recovery may be sought nor shall be provided hereunder in respect of any Losses to the extent such Liability was included or should have been included in accordance with the Example NWC Calculation and the Accounting Principles as a current liability in the calculation of Net Working Capital, as adjusted, pursuant to Section 2(e).

(g) Claims Process.

(i) Upon receipt by a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (as applicable, the “Indemnified Party”) of notice from a third party of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand or assessment against such Indemnified Party which might give rise to a claim for Losses under this Section 10, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth, with reasonable specificity, the nature of and facts underlying each particular claim (including identification of all particular sections of this Agreement pursuant to which indemnification is being sought), a copy of any documentation received from the third party and an estimate of the Losses relating thereto; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not eliminate the right to indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Upon receipt of notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall negotiate and discuss in good faith any underlying claim by the Indemnified Party or from a third party and for a period of thirty (30) days and shall work together to resolve such claim to the mutual satisfaction of all parties prior to the initiation of any litigation by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter as to which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with the preceding sentence, undertake to compromise or defend any such asserted Liability, it shall notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall agree to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such asserted Liability; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such asserted Liability without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) unless such settlement fully releases the Indemnified Party in connection with such matter and provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding an election of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own expense and to participate in the defense of such action or proceeding, provided, that, the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one such separate counsel in each jurisdiction, if, but only if, (y) the defendants in, or targets of, any such action or proceeding include both an Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there is a material conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to such proceeding (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party) or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or proceeding. In any event, the Indemnified Party and its counsel shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel and shall not assert any position in any proceeding inconsistent with that asserted by the Indemnifying Party.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to compromise or defend any third party claim pursuant to Section 10(g)(i) above, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in any such defense at its sole cost and expense, but in such case, the Indemnified Party shall control the investigation and defense of the asserted Liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not consent to any settlement of a third party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party may, at its option, elect at any time to assume and control the defense against such third party claim. The Indemnifying Party’s decision to allow the Indemnified Party to take the lead with respect to any indemnity obligation of the Indemnifying Party shall not limit, expand or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any such indemnity obligation, and if an Indemnified Party settles a third party claim it is defending pursuant to this Section 10(g)(ii) without obtaining the Indemnifying Party’s written consent to such settlement in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, then the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such third party claim.

(iii) In the event any Indemnified Party should have an indemnification claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement that does not involve a claim by a third party, promptly after becoming aware of any facts or circumstances which the Indemnified Party believes have given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party in writing setting forth, with reasonable specificity, the nature of and facts underlying each particular claim (including identification of all particular sections of this Agreement pursuant to which indemnification is being sought) and an estimate of the Losses relating thereto. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any Liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its Liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the conduct of Tax proceedings is addressed in Section 7(b).

(h) Limitations. The indemnification provisions of this Agreement (i) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing with respect to any breach or non-fulfillment of any representation, warranty, agreement, covenant or any other obligation contained in this Agreement, (ii) shall apply without regard to, and shall not be subject to, any limitation by reason of set-off and (iii) are intended to be comprehensive and not to be limited by any requirements of Law concerning prominence of language or waiver of any legal right under any Law (including rights under any workers compensation statute or similar statute conferring immunity from suit). In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights and Claims (including rights of contributions, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against the Seller or any of its Affiliates or the Buyer or the Company or any of their Affiliates, as the case may be, arising under or based upon any Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any Party, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses, the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party (and its Affiliates) against any third party in respect of the Losses to which such payment relates. Such Indemnified Party (and its Affiliates) and Indemnifying Party will execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or further perfect such subrogation rights. Nothing in this Section 10(h) will limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any injunctive, non-monetary relief to which any Person may be entitled or to pursue Claims with respect to fraud.

(i) De Minimis Claim Threshold; Basket. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Seller shall not be required to provide indemnification for Losses under Section 10(b)(ii) to the Buyer Indemnified Parties (i) for any individual item where the Loss relating thereto is less than Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($50,000) (the “De Minimis Claim Threshold”) or (ii) in respect of each individual item where the Loss relating thereto is equal to or greater than the De Minimis Claim Threshold, unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, with respect to such breaches (in the aggregate) exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Basket”), in which case the obligation to provide indemnification under Section 10(b)(ii) to the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall apply from the first dollar of Losses without regard to the Basket or the De Minimis Claim Threshold; provided, that the limitations set forth in this Section 10(i) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or resulting from a breach of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3(n).

(j) Maximum Indemnifiable Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein (other than as set forth in this Section 10(j)), the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from the Seller pursuant to Section 10(b)(ii) shall not exceed the amount that is ten percent (10%) of the Membership Interest Purchase Price; provided, that the limitations set forth in this Section 10(j) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or resulting from a breach of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3(n). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses arising from any breach of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3(n) shall not exceed the Membership Interest Purchase Price.

(k) Actions under Conduct Agreement. Notwithstanding any other subsection of this Section 10, in the event that any matter arising after the Closing that relates to the post-Closing operation of the Business and could constitute a claim for indemnification under this Section 10 but is able to be resolved by action of the Indemnifying Party (or any of its Affiliates) or the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) pursuant to the Separation and Conduct Agreement, then the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, as applicable, shall take or cause their Affiliates to take such action pursuant to the Separation and Conduct Agreement, if any, in lieu of and as substitute for the right of the Indemnifying Party to assert any claim for indemnification under this Section 10, other than to enforce its or its Affiliates’ rights under the Separation and Conduct Agreement.

Section 11. Termination.

(a) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing (it being agreed that the Party hereto terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(a) shall give prompt written notice of such termination to the other Party or Parties hereto):

(i) by mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller;

(ii) by either Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, in either case, in its sole discretion, if any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any final, nonappealable Order that has the effect of making the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or that otherwise prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(iii) by Buyer, if (a) there has been a material violation, breach or failure to perform by Seller or the Company of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof from Buyer to Seller or waived in writing by Buyer and (b) such breach or inaccuracy, if not cured within the timeframe above and at or prior to the Closing, would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8(a) or Section 8(c) to be satisfied;

(iv) by Seller, if (a) there has been a material violation, breach or failure to perform by Buyer of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof from Seller to Buyer or waived in writing by Seller and (b) such breach or inaccuracy, if not cured within the timeframe above and at or prior to the Closing, would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) to be satisfied;

(v) by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, in either case in the applicable Party’s sole discretion, if the Closing shall have not been consummated by 5:00p.m. EDT on September 30, 2019 (the “Outside Date”), or such other date as Buyer and Seller shall agree upon in writing; provided, however, that (a) Buyer may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(a)(v) if Buyer is in material breach of this Agreement, and Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(a)(v) if Seller is in material breach of this Agreement and (b) if on the Outside Date, the condition set forth in Section 8(a)(ii) has not been satisfied, and all of the other conditions to Closing contained in Section 8 (other than those conditions which, by their terms, are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing), then the original Outside Date will automatically be extended by an additional nine (9) months; and

(vi) by Seller, if all of the conditions set forth in Section 8(a) and Section 8(c) shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, provided that such conditions shall have been reasonably capable of being satisfied as of the date of termination of this Agreement), Seller has irrevocably given notice to Buyer in writing that Seller is prepared to consummate the Closing, and Buyer fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Closing on the date that the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2(d), or, if later, within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of such notice.

(b) Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination.

(i) Any proper and valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11(a) shall be effective immediately upon the delivery of written notice of the terminating Party to the other Party or Parties hereto, as applicable.

(ii) If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 11(a)(iv) or Section 11(a)(vi), then within five (5) Business Days following the date of termination, Buyer will pay to Seller or the Company, as directed by Seller, a fee equal to $5,000,000 (the “Buyer Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller. The Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that the Buyer Termination Fee, if, as and when required to be paid pursuant to this Section 11(b)(ii), shall not constitute a penalty but will be liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller and the Company under the circumstances for their efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. In furtherance of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (except the following proviso and Section 11(b)(iii) ,if this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 11(a)(iv) or Section 11(a)(vi) Seller’s and the Company’s right to the Buyer Termination Fee to the extent provided in this Section 11(b)(ii) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller or the Company against Buyer and its Affiliates for any Losses suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for a breach or failure of Buyer to perform its obligations to consummate the Closing, and neither the Buyer nor its Affiliates shall have any other Liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, whether based on contract, tort or strict liability or otherwise; provided, however, that this section shall not limit the Buyer’s obligations, and Seller’s and the Company’s rights or remedies, with respect to (a) the obligations of the Buyer under Section 6(g) that survive the termination of this Agreement or (b) Seller’s and the Company’s rights under Section 12(a)(i) in connection with the enforcement of, or a claim under, this Section 11(b)(ii).

(iii) In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11(a), this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and no Party (or any partner, owner, director, officer, employee, affiliate, agent or other representative of such Party) shall have any Liability to any other Party or Parties hereto, as applicable, except (a) if such termination results from the willful breach of any of a Party’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination, such party will be liable for all damages actually incurred or suffered by the other Party as a result of such willful breach, (b) with respect to the obligations of Buyer under Section 6(g) that survive the termination of this Agreement, (c) the obligations of Buyer to pay the Buyer Termination Fee (if, as and when required to be paid pursuant to Section 11(b)(ii)), which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (d) Section 12(b)-Section 12(n) to the extent such clauses relate to subsections Section 11(a)-(b) of this paragraph.

Section 12. Miscellaneous.

(a) Disclosure Schedules.

(i) General. The Company has prepared the schedules attached to this Agreement (individually, a “Schedule” and collectively, the “Disclosure Schedule”) and delivered them to Buyer on the date hereof. The Schedules shall be arranged by number to correspond to the sections of this Agreement, and the Company shall be permitted to include in the Disclosure Schedule any qualifications, disclosure or exceptions with respect to any subsection of Section 3 or Section 4. Any fact or item disclosed on any Schedule shall be deemed disclosed on all other Schedules to which an appropriate cross reference is made or on all other Schedules where it is reasonably apparent on its face that such disclosure applies to such other Schedules of the Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule shall qualify the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and/or set forth other information required by this Agreement but shall not otherwise vary, change or alter the language of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or be interpreted as additional or independent representations or warranties. The inclusion of any item on any Schedule shall not constitute an admission that a violation, right of termination, default, Liability or other obligation of any kind exists with respect to such item, but rather is intended only to qualify certain representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or to set forth other information required by this Agreement. The inclusion of a Contract on Section 3(j) shall not constitute an admission that such Contract is a Material Contract.

(ii) Supplement to Disclosure Schedules. Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules hereto at any time prior to the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Closing with respect to any matter resulting from the operation of the Company after the date hereof and otherwise first arising after the date hereof (each a “Schedule Supplement”); provided, that any Schedule Supplement shall not impact Buyer’s rights for purposes of determining whether the closing conditions set forth in Section 8(c)(i) and Section 8(c)(ii) have been satisfied or for purposes of determining whether Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer proceeds to consummate the Closing after receipt of all Schedule Supplements, then Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement or claim any breach with respect to any matter newly disclosed on any such Schedule Supplement.

(b) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be personally delivered; sent by email transmission (as a .pdf or .tif attachment); or sent by registered or certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid; or by private overnight mail courier service, as follows:

If personally delivered, such communication shall be deemed delivered upon actual receipt; if sent by email, such communication shall be deemed delivered the day of the transmission or, if the transmission is not made on a Business Day before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) at the place of receipt, the first Business Day after transmission (and sender shall bear the burden of proof of delivery); if sent by U.S. mail, such communication shall be deemed delivered as of the date of delivery indicated on the receipt issued by the relevant postal service or, if the addressee fails or refuses to accept delivery, as of the date of such failure or refusal; and if sent by overnight courier, such communication shall be deemed delivered upon receipt.

(c) Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(d) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof 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.

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto), together with the other agreements and instruments referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings (including any indication of interest or any letter of intent entered into among any of the Parties), both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder. There have been and are no representations, warranties or covenants among the Parties other than those set forth or provided for in this Agreement. This Agreement may only be amended by a written instrument signed by Buyer and Seller.

(f) Assignment. No Party shall assign, transfer or otherwise encumber this Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of Law, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and without legal effect; provided, that either Party (upon written notice to the other Party), may assign and transfer its rights hereunder, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate of such Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party, provided, further, that such assignment and transfer shall not affect the obligations of the Parties hereunder.

(g) Parties in Interest; Non-Recourse. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto and its successors, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except as provided in Section 6(j) and for the provisions of Section 10, which are intended to be for the benefit of the Persons referred to therein and may be enforced by such Persons following the Closing. This Agreement may only be enforced against the Parties hereto (and their successors and assigns). All Claims (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of, or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), may be made only against the Persons that are expressly identified as Parties (and their successors and assigns), and no officer, director, partner, manager, equityholder, employee, consultant, representative, agent or Affiliate of the Company or any Party (including any Person negotiating or executing this Agreement on behalf of a Party) shall have any Liability or obligation with respect to this Agreement or with respect to any Claim (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including a representation or warranty made in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement).

(h) Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all fees and expenses incurred (or required under applicable Law to be incurred/paid) by any Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne and paid solely and entirely by the Party or Parties, as applicable, incurring such expenses.

(i) Attorneys’ Fees. In any action or proceeding among Parties (i) brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement, (ii) in which any Claim is asserted under this Agreement, or (iii) where any provision of this Agreement is validly asserted as a defense, the prevailing Party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing Party such Party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, in addition to any other available remedy.

(j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any choice of law rules that may direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

(k) Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction; Venue. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Other than as specified by Section 2(e)(ii) (as to which the sole remedy shall be as specified in such Section 2(e)(ii) without judicial review), each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) any federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and (ii) the Delaware Court of Chancery, and any appellate court from any of such courts, in any actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement and any transactions contemplated hereby for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such action except in such courts, (b) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action in such courts, and (c) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action in such courts. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12(b). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(l) Equitable Relief. Each of Buyer and Seller agree that (i) any breach of the obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on the Closing Date will result in irreparable injury to each other Party for which a remedy at law would be inadequate, and (ii) in addition to any relief at law that may be available to a Party for such breach and regardless of any other provision contained in this Agreement, each Party shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief as a court may grant, including specific performance, without the need to post a bond. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that, in the event that (x) all of the conditions set forth in Section 8 have been satisfied (or waived by the Party entitled to such conditions) (excluding conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date but subject to the demonstration by the Requesting Party (as defined below) of ability to satisfy such conditions at the Closing), (y) a Party requests (the “Requesting Party”) that any other Party (the “Other Party”) consummate the Closing and (z) the Other Party fails to timely consummate the Closing on the date that the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2(e) (or, if later, within two (2) Business Days after the delivery of such notice), then, in addition to any relief at law that may be available, the Requesting Party shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to request specific performance of the Closing. Upon such a request, if the Requesting Party can reasonably demonstrate to the court that the conditions set forth in clauses (x) through (z) of the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, then the court shall order specific performance of the Closing (i.e., the court shall order specific performance of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by Section 2(a), Section 2(b) and Section 2(e)). This Section 12(l) shall not be construed to limit a Party’s right to obtain equitable relief for other breaches of this Agreement under general equitable standards. For purposes of clarity, in any event where the Seller is entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11(a)(iv) or Section 11(a)(vi), it may either (1) terminate the Agreement pursuant to such Sections and be entitled to payment of the Buyer Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11(b)(ii), or (2) elect to exercise its rights to relief specified in this Xxxxxxx 00(x).

(x) Xxxxxxxxxxxx. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signatures delivered by facsimile or by e-mail in portable document format (“pdf”) shall be binding for all purposes hereof.

(n) Interpretation. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party. Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this Agreement: (i) “or” is not exclusive; (ii) “including” and its variants mean “including, without limitation” and its variants; (iii) words defined in the singular have the parallel meaning in the plural and vice versa; (iv) references to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form; (v) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereto,” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, including the Schedules hereto; (vi) whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms; (vii) the word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall;” (viii) references to “dollars” or “$” in this Agreement shall mean United States dollars; (ix) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein); (x) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts, contract rights and real and personal property; (xi) reference to a particular statute, regulation or Law means such statute, regulation or Law as amended or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof; (xii) all Sections, Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein are, respectively, Sections of, and Schedules and Exhibits to, this Agreement; and (xiii) for purposes of counting the number of days: (x) the day of the event that triggers the period is excluded; (y) each day is counted, including intermediate days that are not Business Days except if Business Days are specified in which case only such Business Days are to be counted; and (z) the last day of the period is included, but if the last day is a day that is not a Business Day, the period continues to run until the end of the next day that is a Business Day provided that in the case of counting Business Days, such last day may only be a Business Day. The “Recitals” are a part of the substantive part of this Agreement.

(o) Losses. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO PARTY SHALL, IN ANY EVENT, BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF SUCH OTHER PERSON; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO LOSSES OF THE FOREGOING NATURE PAID TO NON-AFFILIATED THIRD PARTIES PURSUANT TO A FINAL, BINDING, AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT.

(p) Legal Privilege and other Matters.

(i) Buyer, for itself and its Affiliates (including the Company after Closing) and their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between the Company Seller or their respective Affiliates and their counsel, including Manatt, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, LLP (the “Seller Law Firm”), made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or after the Closing between the Company, the Seller or their respective Affiliates and such counsel in connection with any dispute or Claim arising under or in connection with, this Agreement, or any matter relating to any of the foregoing or the preparation for the transactions contemplated herein or preceding this Agreement, are property of Seller and constitute privileged communications it being agreed that such privilege belongs solely to Seller and its Affiliates, and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company after Closing), nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Buyer or any of its Affiliates, will seek to obtain the same by any process.

(ii) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that Manatt, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, LLP has acted as counsel to Seller, its Affiliates and the Company in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer agrees, and shall cause the Company to agree, that, following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, such representation and any prior representation of the Company by Seller Law Firm and shall not preclude Seller Law Firm from serving as counsel to Seller, its Affiliates or any director, member, shareholder, partner, officer or employee of Seller or its Affiliates, in connection with any Claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Parties hereto hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising from such prior representation.
