Section 2.10 Working Capital Adjustment and Transferred Cash.

(a) Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement. Within 105 calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer will cause to be prepared and delivered to Sellers a statement setting forth the Net Working Capital, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, as of the Closing Date, and the components and calculation thereof (the “Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement”), and a statement setting forth Transferred Cash as of the Closing Date (the “Transferred Cash Statement”).

(b) Determination of Conclusive Net Working Capital. Sellers will have 45 calendar days following the receipt of the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement to review the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement and Transferred Cash Statement. During such time, Sellers may dispute any items set forth on the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement (or specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby) and the Transferred Cash Statement. Unless Sellers deliver written notice to Buyer of dispute thereof on or prior to the 45^th calendar day after Sellers’ receipt of the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement and the Transferred Cash Statement, Sellers will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement and Transferred Cash Statement and such statements (and the specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby) will be final, binding and conclusive. If Sellers notify Buyer in writing of disputed items contained in the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement (or specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby) or Transferred

Cash Statement (the “Disputed Items”) within such 45 calendar day period, for 30 calendar days following delivery of such notice by Sellers to Buyer (the “Resolution Period”), Buyer and Sellers will attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to the Disputed Items. Upon delivery of any such notice of Disputed Items by Sellers, Sellers will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to all items on the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement and Transferred Cash Statement (and the specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby) other than the Disputed Items, and such items (and the specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby) other than the Disputed Items will be final, binding and conclusive. Any resolution by Buyer and Sellers during the Resolution Period as to any Disputed Items will be set forth in writing and will be final, binding and conclusive. If Buyer and Sellers do not resolve all Disputed Items by the end of the Resolution Period, then all Disputed Items remaining in dispute will be submitted by either one of the Parties within 30 calendar days after the expiration of the Resolution Period to such national independent accounting firm with international reputation and familiar with the sector or industry of the Business mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers (the “Neutral Arbitrator”). The Neutral Arbitrator will act as an arbitrator to determine only those Disputed Items remaining in dispute as of the end of the Resolution Period. In resolving such Disputed Items, the Neutral Arbitrator may not assign a value to any Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for such Disputed Item claimed by any Party or less than the lowest value for such Disputed Item claimed by any Party. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Arbitrator will be allocated and borne between Buyer and Sellers in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the Disputed Items so submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Neutral Arbitrator) bears to the total amount of such Disputed Items so submitted. In addition, without limiting Section 6.4, Buyer and Sellers will give the Neutral Arbitrator access to all Records, facilities and personnel of such Party and its Affiliates and Representatives as is reasonably necessary to perform its function as arbitrator. Buyer and Sellers will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Neutral Arbitrator to deliver to Buyer and Sellers a written determination (such determination to include an explanation in reasonable detail of the reasons for such determination and a work sheet setting forth all material calculations and methods used in arriving at such determination) of the Disputed Items submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator and the resulting effect thereof on the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement and Transferred Cash Statement within 60 calendar days of receipt of such Disputed Items, which determination will, in the absence of manifest error, be final, binding and conclusive and upon which judgment may be entered. The final, binding and conclusive Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement and Transferred Cash Statement based either upon agreement or deemed agreement by Buyer and Sellers or the written determination delivered by the Neutral Arbitrator in accordance with this Section 2.10(b) will be the “Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement,” and “Conclusive Transferred Cash Statement,” respectively.

(c) Post-Closing Adjustment. If the amount of the (i) Net Working Capital set forth on the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement exceeds the Target Net Working Capital Amount, and/or (ii) the amount of Transferred Cash exceeds the Initial Transferred Cash Amount, Buyer will pay Sellers the amount of the respective excess. If the (iii) Target Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the amount of the Net Working Capital set forth on the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement, and/or (iv) the Initial Transferred Cash Amount exceeds the Transferred Cash, Sellers will pay Buyer the amount of the respective excess. All payments to be made pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) will be made no later than the fifth

Business Day following the date on which Buyer and Sellers agree, or are deemed to have agreed to, or the Neutral Arbitrator delivers, the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement and Conclusive Transferred Cash Statement.

Section 2.11 Allocation. Buyer and Sellers agree to allocate the Purchase Price (as finally determined hereunder), and the Assumed Liabilities and all other relevant items, in accordance with Annex G (the “Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation”). No later than 60 days after the Purchase Price is finally determined hereunder, Sellers will deliver to Buyer an allocation of the Purchase Price, and the Assumed Liabilities and all other relevant items, as of the Closing Date determined in a manner consistent with the Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation (the “Purchase Price Allocation”) and Sellers will reasonably consider such revisions to the Purchase Price Allocation as are reasonably requested by Buyer. If Sellers decline to make a revision to the Purchase Price Allocation requested by Buyer and Buyer disagrees with the Sellers’ determination, Buyer and Sellers shall submit the disputed item to the Neutral Arbitrator for determination under procedures similar to those set forth in Section 2.10(b). The final binding and conclusive Purchase Price Allocation based upon either the agreement by Buyer and Sellers or the written determination delivered by the Neutral Arbitrator in accordance with this Section 2.11 and the relevant provisions of Section 2.10(b) will be the “Conclusive Purchase Price Allocation.” The Conclusive Purchase Price Allocation shall be in accordance with relevant provisions of law, including Section 1060 of the IRC in respect of the US DAT Business and BFS Equity. The Conclusive Purchase Price Allocation will be conclusive and binding on the Parties, and Buyer and Sellers agree (and agree to cause their respective subsidiaries and Affiliates) to prepare and file all Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Conclusive Purchase Price Allocation, unless otherwise required by law. None of the Parties will take any position inconsistent with the Conclusive Purchase Price Allocation on any Tax Return or in any audit or Tax proceeding, unless otherwise required by law.

Section 2.12 Non-Transferability. Nothing contained herein will be deemed by any Seller or Buyer to constitute an agreement of any Seller to assign or transfer any Transferred Contract or other Acquired Asset to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof without the consent of or notice to a third party thereto would constitute a breach or default thereof and such consent has not been obtained or provided. In the event that any Transferred Contract or Acquired Asset cannot be assigned or transferred because the required consent or notice to the third party thereto has not been obtained or provided, the relevant Seller, as appropriate, will be deemed to be Buyer’s duly appointed agent for the purpose of completing, fulfilling and discharging all of Buyer’s rights and Liabilities arising after the Closing Date with respect to each such Transferred Contract or Acquired Asset. Sellers will be entitled to charge and collect from, Buyer for all reasonable incremental costs associated with the retention, maintenance and enforcement of rights of each Transferred Contract or other Acquired Asset and all Liabilities arising thereunder to the extent related to the ownership, use or operation thereof from and after the Closing Date contemplated by this Section 2.12 (the “Maintenance Costs”), and Buyer will indemnify each Seller Indemnified Party for any Damages resulting from or arising out of any such activities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.12, no Seller will have any obligation whatsoever under this Section 2.12 beyond the earlier to occur of (i) 150 days after the Closing Date, or (ii) the date on which it is reasonably apparent that the counterparty will continue to fulfill its obligations under such Transferred Contract without objection to the assignment.

Section 2.13 No Partial Transfer. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the transfer of the Business contemplated by this Agreement is indivisible (“ondeelbaar”). The transfer of the Business may not be completed in part and shall be valid only if it bears on the entire Business, without prejudice to the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 6.2. No partial enforcement of the transfer of the Business contemplated by this Agreement and the Local Transfer Agreements shall be allowed.

Section 2.14 Multi-Site Contracts.

(a) Section 2.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth all Multi-Site Contracts not addressed separately by the Related Agreements that are material to the Business and as to which the Parties have agreed to equitably allocate the rights and obligations arising thereunder (the “Shared Multi-Site Contracts,”) it being understood that no additional consideration will be owing by Buyer to Sellers in respect of such allocation of the Shared Multi-Site Contracts.

(b) With respect to each such Shared Multi-Site Contract, (i) the Parties shall cooperate with each other and each Multi-Site Contract counterparty in such allocation and (ii) the Parties shall use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to split the Shared Multi-Site Contract on terms reasonably acceptable to the Parties, but the Parties acknowledge that the portion of such Contracts allocated to Buyer may not include any group discounts or similar benefits specific to Sellers or their Affiliates. Completion of documentation of any such allocation is not a condition to Closing; provided, however, that with respect to each such Shared Multi-Site Contract which is not split prior to Closing pursuant to subsection (ii) of this Section 2.14(b), the Parties shall cooperate to the extent feasible in effecting a lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement under which Buyer shall receive the allocable benefits thereunder from and after Closing, and to the extent of the allocable benefits received, Buyer shall pay and perform Sellers’ obligations arising thereunder from and after Closing in accordance with its terms, until new documentation effecting the allocation described in this Section 2.14 is executed and delivered. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers for any Damages associated with the performance of Buyer for the portion allocated to Buyer, and Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer for any Damages associated with the performance of Sellers for the portion allocated to Sellers.

(c) In the event that the terms of any Shared Multi-Site Contract prohibits the allocation contemplated by this Section 2.14, the Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide the benefits and obligations of the portion of the Shared Multi-Site Contract that would have been allocated to Buyer but for any such prohibition.

unreasonably with the normal business operations of Sellers and the Acquired Subsidiaries, to the Acquired Assets and other premises, properties and assets related to the Business; provided, however, that, for avoidance of doubt, the foregoing will not require any Person to waive, or take any action with the effect of waiving, its attorney-client privilege with respect thereto.

(b) Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any property or similar ad valorem Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and the amount of any other Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(c) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Acquired Subsidiaries that are required by applicable law to be filed after the Closing Date. Buyer will permit Sellers to review and comment on such Tax Returns described in the preceding sentence prior to filing (to the extent such Tax Returns relate to or include any period or portion thereof that ends on or prior to the Closing Date) and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Sellers, provided that Buyer shall not be required to make any proposed changes in accounting method that are not required under applicable law or take any other action that is not in accordance with the past practices of the Acquired Subsidiaries.

(d) Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or any Acquired Subsidiary, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer or any Acquired Subsidiary becomes entitled, that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (other than any such refunds and/or credits which have been shown as assets on

the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement), shall be for the account of Sellers, and Buyer shall pay over to Sellers any such refund or the amount of such credit within 15 days after receipt or entitlement thereto. In addition, to the extent that a claim for refund or a proceeding results in a payment or credit against Income Tax by a Government Authority to Buyer or any Acquired Subsidiary of any amount accrued for such item on the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement, Buyer shall credit such amount against any payment then due from Sellers under Section 6.15(a). To the extent there is any excess credit under this Section 6.15(d), such amount shall be set off against any payment(s) already made or subsequently due under Section 6.15(a) in chronological order until exhausted, provided that to the extent that such amount is set off against any payment already made by Sellers (and not previously refunded under this Section 6.15(d)), it will be repaid to Sellers. The amount of any Tax refund or credit to which this Section 6.15(d) applies shall be net of any Tax arising as a result of the receipt of such refund or credit.

(e) Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Parties hereto, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 6.15 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the request of any other Party) the provision of records and information that 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. Buyer agrees (i) to the extent required by law, to procure that each Acquired Subsidiary retains all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to such Acquired Subsidiary relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any relevant Government Authority, and (ii) to give Sellers reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books or records. Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Government Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(f) Effect of Certain Actions by Buyer. Buyer agrees that Sellers shall not be liable under Section 6.15(a) in respect of any Tax to the extent that such Tax arises as a result of any voluntary act of the Buyer or any Acquired Subsidiary after the Closing (including the making of any Tax election or amendment of any Tax Return previously submitted). In addition, Buyer shall indemnify Sellers from and against all Damages, including any increased Tax liability or any reduction of any deduction, credit or loss carryover, incurred by Sellers or an Affiliate of Sellers as a result of any such act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall remain liable (and the foregoing indemnification shall not apply) where such act of the Buyer or Acquired Subsidiary was (i) required by any legislation, regulation or other statutory requirement, whether coming into force before, on or after Closing; (ii) pursuant to a legally binding obligation entered into by the relevant Acquired Subsidiary on or before Closing; (iii) carried out at the direction of Sellers or their authorized representative; (iv) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any document executed pursuant to this Agreement; or (v) in the ordinary course of business of the relevant Acquired Subsidiary.

(g) Tax Controversies. Sellers shall control any tax audits, tax disputes or administrative, judicial or other proceedings (each a “Tax Controversy”) related to any Tax Return or Taxes of the Acquired Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date and with respect to which Sellers could have any indemnification obligation hereunder, and shall have the right to employ counsel and other advisors of their choice and expense. Buyer shall have the right to control, at its expense, all other Tax Controversies that relate to Taxes or Tax Returns with respect to the Acquired Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period and which could give rise to any indemnification obligation hereunder, and shall have the right to employ counsel and other advisors of its choice at its expense and to control the conduct of such Tax Controversy; provided, however, that, in each case, (i) the controlling Party shall notify the other of any such Tax Controversy, (ii) the controlling Party shall allow the other to participate in any such Tax Controversy at its own expense, and (iii) the other Party shall have the right to consent to any settlement or other resolution of such Tax Controversy (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned

Section 8.4 Limitations on Indemnification; Calculation of Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article VIII:

(a) No Buyer Indemnified Party nor Seller Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) will be entitled to recover from Sellers or Buyer, respectively (the “Indemnifying Party”), for any claim for indemnity in respect of Damages arising under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a), respectively, unless and until, and then only to the extent that, the total of all such claims against Sellers or Buyer, respectively, in respect of such Damages exceeds €one million (the “Basket”), and in such event only to the amount of such excess;

(b) No Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover from Sellers or Buyer, respectively, or include for purposes of determining if Damages have met or exceeded the Basket, any claim for indemnity in respect of any individual Damage arising under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a), respectively, unless and until the claim against Sellers or Buyer, respectively, in respect of such Damages exceeds €100,000. For the purposes of this Section 8.4(b), a series of claims for indemnity relating to the same or a connected event, fact, circumstance, act or omission shall be accumulated and shall be treated as a single claim for the purpose of assessing whether or not the claims together exceed the specified threshold of Damages.

Each Indemnified Party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain recovery in respect of any Damages from any insurance or third party indemnity which is available in respect of Damages. If an Indemnified Party receives such insurance proceeds or indemnification recoveries in connection with Damages for which it has been indemnified hereunder, the Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party and refund to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnification recoveries when received, less its reasonable costs of recovery up to the amount for which indemnification was paid hereunder.

(i) No Buyer Indemnified Party may seek indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII with respect to any Damages of any Buyer Indemnified Party who is or was an officer or director of Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries resulting from any right of contribution, indemnification or other similar right against Sellers or such Subsidiary that such Buyer Indemnified Party may have by virtue of his or her status as an officer or director of Sellers or such Subsidiary, whether arising from any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement or any Related Agreement or otherwise. Buyer, on behalf of each Buyer Indemnified Party, agrees that no Buyer Indemnified Party will make any such claim for contribution or indemnification or make a claim for recovery against any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of Sellers or any of its Affiliates with respect to matters covered by the foregoing matters.

(j) In no event shall any Party be entitled to duplicate compensation with respect to any Damages for any breach of representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement in connection with this Agreement, even though such Damages or breach may be addressed by more than one provision of this Agreement.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense against any Third Party Claim by providing written notice (i) within 30 days after receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim, or (ii) at any time if the Indemnified Party is not conducting the defense of a Third Party Claim in a reasonably diligent manner, which the Indemnifying Party may conduct with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and which the Indemnifying Party may control so long as the Indemnifying Party conducts such defense in a reasonably diligent manner.

(c) From and after the date that the Indemnifying Party has assumed and is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.5(b), (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in, but not control, the defense of the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will cooperate fully with each other and their respective counsel in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim, including providing access to any relevant books and records, properties, employees and Representatives; provided, however, that, for avoidance of doubt, the foregoing will not require any Party to waive, or take any action which has the effect of waiving, its attorney-client privilege with respect thereto; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party.

(d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim after notice thereof, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate; (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent such costs are Damages for which the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any costs the Indemnified Party may incur resulting from the Third Party Claim to the extent such costs are Damages for which the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder; and ; and (iv) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) In conducting the defense of a Third Party Claim and negotiating any settlement in respect thereof, the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of all material developments and consult with the other Party in good faith regarding the potential impact on such other Party’s business and relationship with Governmental Authorities, customers, and other third parties, and alternatives to resolve such Third Party Claim taking into consideration the interests of both the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.5 to the contrary, any Third Party Claim relating to Taxes or Tax Returns shall be governed by the provisions of Section 6.15.

All notices of claims for indemnification hereunder by any Indemnified Party will be made with reasonable particularity and will state the amount of Damages sought thereunder to the extent reasonably practicable to provide such estimate. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Section 8.7 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, other than in the event of fraud, and without prejudice to Section 8.4(l) and Section 10.9, the remedies set forth in this Article VIII will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties for Damages relating to the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Sellers hereby waive to the extent permitted under applicable law, any statutory, equitable or common law rights or remedies relating to any environmental, health or safety matters relating to the subject matter hereof, including any such matters arising under any Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements and those arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or under any other applicable law in the various relevant jurisdictions.

will survive any such termination) and no Party will have any Liability to the other Party hereunder; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.2 will relieve any Party from Liability for any breach occurring prior to any such termination of any of the representations and warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated for the failure to satisfy the condition to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Section 7.1(c) or the condition to Sellers’ obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Section 7.2(c), and such failure has not resulted from Sellers’ or Buyer’s breach, respectively, hereof (in which event Section 9.2(a) above shall apply), then Buyer will pay Sellers the Termination Fee in Cash. In the event that Sellers will receive payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 9.2(b), Sellers agree that the receipt of such payment will be deemed to be liquidated damages for and will constitute full payment to and the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of Sellers and will be considered as an irrevocable settlement (“dading”) in the meaning of Article 2044 et seq. of the Belgian Civil Code that is full and final (“voor slot van alle rekeningen”) between the Parties with respect to any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Sellers in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and Sellers will not be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against Buyer arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination.

Any Party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Parties notice in the manner set forth in this Section 10.6.

Section 10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Belgium, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws, to the extent such principles or rules would permit or require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 10.8 Disputes.

(a) If there shall be any dispute, controversy or claim (“Dispute”) between the Parties arising out of, relating to, or connected with this Agreement, the breach, termination or invalidity hereof, or the provisions contained herein or omitted herefrom, other than a Dispute under Section 2.10, the Parties shall use their best efforts to resolve the matter on an amicable basis and

in a manner fair and equitable to the Parties. If one Party notifies another Party that a Dispute has arisen and the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within 30 days from such notice, then, unless the Parties agree to extend this period of time, the matter shall be referred to the Chief Financial Officer of the Parties (as applicable), who shall act by mutual agreement on all such matters. No recourse to arbitration under this Agreement shall take place unless and until the Chief Financial Officer of the Parties (as applicable) have been unable to resolve the Dispute within 30 days after the expiration of the 30-day period referred to above or any extension thereof.

(b) The Parties irrevocably agree that any Disputes, other than a Dispute under Section 2.10, that are not resolved in accordance with paragraph (a) within the two abovementioned 30 day periods or extensions thereof shall be finally settled by means of arbitration in Brussels, Belgium, by three arbitrators appointed and proceeding in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration (the “CEPANI Rules”) of the Belgian Center for Mediation and Arbitration (“CEPANI”) as the exclusive means of resolving such Disputes. For purposes of appointing such arbitrators, each of the Sellers and the Buyer shall appoint one arbitrator and either the third arbitrator shall be selected by the two Party-appointed arbitrators or, failing agreement within 30 days after the Party-appointed arbitrators have been confirmed, by CEPANI in accordance with the CEPANI Rules. All submissions and awards in relation to arbitration under this Agreement shall be made in English and all arbitration proceedings and all pleadings shall be in English.

(c) Except as may be required by applicable law, stock exchange rules, Governmental Authority, or in connection with the ordinary course of business, the Parties agree to maintain confidentiality as to all aspects of the arbitration, including its existence and results, except that nothing herein shall prevent any Party from disclosing information regarding the arbitration for purposes of enforcing the award of the arbitral tribunal or in any court proceedings involving the Parties. The Parties further agree to obtain the arbitral tribunal’s agreement to preserve the confidentiality of the arbitration.

(d) In the event of a Dispute, other than a Dispute under Section 2.10, each Party shall be entitled to an interim injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain the other Party. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies that the aggrieved Party may have in law or in equity.

Section 10.9 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, (a) Buyer will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Sellers and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity and (b) Sellers will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Buyer or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches of, or enforce compliance with, those covenants of Buyer that require Buyer to (i) use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.2, and (ii) consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The courts of Brussels shall have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any

such action for injunction. The Parties further agree that (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.9, a Party will not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such Party under this Agreement (including monetary damages) in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 10.9 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (y) nothing set forth in this Section 10.9 will require any Party hereto to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 10.9 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article IX (and/or receipt of any amounts due pursuant to Section 9.2), nor will the commencement of any legal action or legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.9 or anything set forth in this Section 10.9 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article IX, or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

Section 10.10 Severability. Subject to Section 2.13, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement will be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provisions will be either limited or eliminated only to the minimum extent necessary or be replaced by a valid replacement provision having a similar economic effect which is as close as possible to that of the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

Section 10.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.12 Mutual Drafting. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.13 Disclosure Schedule. All capitalized terms not defined in the Disclosure Schedule will have the meanings ascribed to them in this Agreement. The representations and warranties of Sellers in this Agreement are made and given, and the covenants are agreed to, subject to the disclosures and exceptions set forth in the Disclosure Schedule. The disclosure of any matter in any section of the Disclosure Schedule will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, be deemed to be a disclosure against the representations and warranties in Article III (and for all other purposes of this Agreement where matters are specifically required to be scheduled in the Disclosure Schedule by the terms of this Agreement) and all other sections of the Disclosure Schedule to which such matter relates to the extent readily apparent on the face thereof. The listing of any matter will expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by any Seller, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material, is required to be disclosed under this Agreement or falls within relevant minimum thresholds or materiality standards set forth in this Agreement. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of any Contract or law will be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. In no event will the listing of any matter in the Disclosure Schedule be deemed or interpreted to expand the scope of Sellers’ representations,

warranties and/or covenants set forth in this Agreement. All attachments to the Disclosure Schedule are incorporated by reference into the Disclosure Schedule in which they are directly or indirectly referenced. The Disclosure Schedule includes references to or brief descriptions of certain agreements and instruments in the Data Rooms, which are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of such agreements and instruments. The information contained in the Disclosure Schedule is in all events provided subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. Any Disclosure Supplement shall be for information purposes only and nothing in this Section 10.13 shall have the effect of removing Buyer’s rights to indemnification in respect of any matter referred to in any Disclosure Supplement delivered pursuant to Section 5.7.

Section 10.14 Headings; Table of Contents. The section headings and the table of contents contained in this Agreement and the Disclosure Schedule are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.15 Counterparts; Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement or any counterpart may be executed and delivered by facsimile copies or delivered by electronic communications by portable document format (.pdf), thus made in four originals, of which each Seller and Buyer acknowledges the receipt of one.
